PURELY VEGETABLE
GREATEST OF ALL TONICS
There is scarcely any one, no matter 1 how vigorous and healthy,
who does not need a tonic at this particular season. With the first sign
of spring-time almost every one begins to feel bad. Some have no
particular ailment,' but are debilitated, run-down, weak, and their entire
system is in a state of disorder. Little physical irregularities upset the
perfect working of the blood, the appetite fails, digestion is poor, the
energies are depressed, and other unpleasant symptoms give warning
that the physical machinery Is "out of gear" and needs some healthful,
stimulating assistance to build it up to normal, and perhaps ward off
6ome serious sickness or ailment.

HISTORY OF THE RACE TRACK
. This disturbed and disor
dered condition of health is the
result of impure accumulations
in the system due to an inactive
winter life. The bodily waste and
refuse matter is not properly ex
pelled in cold weather, because
those members whose duty it is
to perform this work of drainage
do not receive sufficient stimula
tion from out-door bodily exercise;
they therefore become dull and
sluggish in their action; nor is
the skin as active in eliminating
impurities in cold weather.
These Winter accumulations
pollute the blood and destroy itv
rich, red corpuscles to such an
extent that when Spring comes,
and everything takes on new life,
the circulation is so weakened
that it is unable to supply the
increased demands of the system,
and we suffer in consequence.
The healthful, vegetable in
gredients of which S. S. S. is
composed, and the method of
combining and preparing them so
that they build up and strengthen
every part of the body, make it
the greatest of all tonics. S. S.S.
is nature's medicine, made en
tirely of the healing, invigorating
juices, and extracts of roots, .herbs and barks; a systemic and tonic
medicine without an equal. S. S. S. has the additional value of being
the best of all blood purifiers. It re-establishes the healthy circulation
of the blood, rids the body of that tired, worn-out feeling, builds up the
appetite and digestion, and insures a return of strength to those whose
systems have become weakened or depleted. S. S. S. acts pleasantly and
promptly, and any one in need of a tonic should commence its use at
once. - S. S. S. is perfectly safe for persons of all ages, being entirely
free from minerals of every kind. If you have never used S. S. S. a
course of it will make you feel better this Spring than you ever felt
before, and it will purify your blood and prepare your system for the
long, hot Summer months which are to follow. S. S. S. is for sale at
all drug stores.

The formldabla squad of American
horses now preparing for an onslaught
on the big event of the English turf
has attracted the attention of the critics
broad and they are busy raking up the
doing of the Yankee thoroughbred ior
the last half century. It appear that
many victories claimed lor mn
not regarded so by the English, a,vtor
Instance, the win of Orby in th Derby
two year ago and Volodyovki, another
winner of the Epsom classic.
A number of similar case are pointed
out, and these, with a thorough synopsl
of what American horses have done in
England, are summed up a follow by
Imnald O. ft. Adams In th Bportaman:
It was In 1710 that Sir Charles Bun-
bury' horse Plomed gained Immortal
fame by winning th first Derby on Ep
som Downs, and strangely enough it was
Dlomed who was destined to he the first
English thoroughbred horse of not to be
exported to America. He waa bred by hi
owner, being by Florixel out of Pastor
ella's dam. Making his first appearance
on a race course a a 8-year-old, he con
tinued running until 1784, when h ran
hi laat race at Guildford, then a favorite
race meeting. Dlomed gained further
celebrity at the tud 1n England, but for
ome unknown reason Sir Charles dis
posed of his famous horse in 1798 for th
sum of 60 guineas.
It wa from that year that the history
of the American turf dates. Although
Dlomed was then 22 year of age, he was
again sold- shortly after landing for 1,000
guineas. He proved to be a wonderful
bargain for the Americans, always a pro
lific sire, and living to a very old age
he made his name everlasting as the
father of the American turf." One of
his many good sons was Lexington, who
in a match against time in Kentucky ran
four miles in 7:10. .
First Raid ea England.
"Lexington was the property of Richard
Ten Breeck, who was the first American
to Invade our shores with 'a string of
race horses. He first came over from the
states in 1866. bringing his Tanke trainer
and jockey. But it was not until the fol
lowing year that Dame Fortune favored
his sporting enterprise. Then, however,
he created a typical American sensation
with Prioress, who ran a desperate dead,
heat between three for the Cesarewitch
of 18S7. Prioress started at 30 to 1 and
could have won outright had it not ben
for her Yankee Jockey, who was caught
napping. However, in: the decider Ford
ham was put up and managed to land the
stars and stripes by a length and a half
from- El Hakim, third place going to
Queen Bess, who was let off with four
stone ten pounds. Prioress sgatn ran a
dead heat 'in the next Cesarewitch stakes,
this time with Brewer for second place.
After another dlngdong finish the dead
heaters were only beaten a head by the
winner. Rocket. The AmeHcan bred mare
had previously won the great Yorkshire
Handicap, . which incurred a seven-pound
penalty in the Newmarket race; other
wise she would in all probability have
won her second Cesarewitch, adding fuf
ther to her record.
'Although bred in the states, Prioress
was a daughter of an English Derby win
ner, her sire being Sovereign, a son of the
famous mare, Fleur de Lis. The ice once
broken, many other successes fell ' to
the Ten Broeck stable, notably thoae
gained by Starke, who landed the Good
wood stakes and Bentlnck Memorial in
1858, with a great bid in the Goodwood
cup of 1884. In the same year Optimist
was victorious in the Ascot stakes, then
added further to his reputation in 1882
by winning the Brighton stakes. Another
good horse in the same ownership at that
period was Paris, who ran second to Gen
eral eel for the Guineas in 1863.
Yankee Wise the Derby.
"In the meantime Umpire won sixteen
races. He was the. first American bred
animal to run In the English Derby. The
year was Thormanby's 1860, to be exact;
but he couldonly run sixth to the lion-
hearted son of Alice Hawthorne. After
the Ten Broeck invasion we had several
years' lapse; In fact, it was hot until 1977
that the Yankees again attempted to win
our Blue Riband. That year Mr. M. Band
ford's Brown Prince, a son cf Lexington.
came acroes the Atlantic and managed to
defeat all but Chamamt for the 1,000
guineas, hut failed to get a place in 8IIvio's
Derby. Brown Prince, who became a
roarer, served many year at the stud in
Ireiand, where he got KHsaliaghanv who
won the Goodwood cup by six lengths in
IBM.
"Parole came across the herring pond
with a good reputation In TX79. Then,
under the care of Jacob Plnous, he won
the City and Suburban, a race which after
ward fell to the lot of two other American
bred animals, whose names by a colncl
denoe also commenced wtlh a "P." The.y
were Passaic (1883) ' snd Pharisee O905V
Parole returned to the land of his birth
in 1883, having gained many good races on
this side. - In America be continued run
ning until he was 13 years of age, and It
is worth mention here that the old gelding
lived to reach the age of SO.
"Then came the Iroquois-Foxhall decade.
th greatest in the Anglo-American turf
history. Mr. Pierre Lorillard, the owner
of Parole, made his first attack on our
claaeics with the V. 0. A. nomination
Boreas, who ran unplaced In Bend Or's
memorable Derby. But he had not long
to wait before he attained the great ambi
tion of hi racing career, as in 1881 Iroquois
made his name famous throughout the rac
ing world by wlnrlng the Derby on th
historical Kptmn Downs. Iroquois was bred
by Mr. A. Welch at th Erdenheim stud,
Pennsylvania, being a son of our English
bred Leamington, a sen of Faugh a Bal-
lagh. He won four races In 1880, then
3-year-old, out of his twelve attempts,
showing but a poor exhibit of his neat form
After the Derby Acia.
"As a 4-year-old Foxhall won the Ascot
gold cup of 18P2, beating Faugb a B&llagh.
Here Is an Instance of th error of naming
, race horse after other equine celebrities,
as above It wilt be noticed that the
j grandsire of Iroquois wa named Faugh
! a Ballagh, who wou th . Bt. Lager and
Cesarewitch for Mr. Irwin aa far back as
1846. After hi achievement with Iroquois
Mr. Lorillard sent out two runner for th
Derby In 1882 they wer Gerald, a disap
pointing 'soft' individual, and Sachem, who
finished third behind Sholover and Quick
lime in what I remembered as th 'fillies'
Derby.
"Before w again find an American-bred
thoroughbred competing at Epsom there
I an interval of fifteen year, as in 1887,
James R. Keene's 8t. Cloud II rag un
placed to Gal tee Mora. The vial tor, how
aver, mad a bold show In th Cambridge
shir, which Sloan daclared he did win try
the length of a walking stick.' But the
verdict went la favor of Cumfrey by a
head. Th same distance away Snadit,' an
other American, was third. Th latter. It
will be recalled by many, won the Old
Cambridgeshire the 'same week. During
that campaign other Yankee horse often
finished In the van. On deserving special
mention wts Dlskka. who won his second
race at Derby when he landed th Pev
rll of th Peak Plat. H.-lso won tht
Duk of York slakes at Kempton park
under 3 stone I pounds. There tea he
landed, th sister , event, the Duchess of
York stakes, shouldering 8 stone pounds.
"Th following year wa an outsiders'

100 to 1 offered against hi chance, these
long odds being also retumea against Dun

2-year-old Just then was Flying Fox. but h
went down .before th American-bred Cai
man. It may hav been a fluke, but none
theless Caiman wss a flyer, winning many
races that season, Including the Payne
stakes, Clearwell stakes and Dewhurst
plate. There were no Derby runners from
th states In 18, 'Flying Fx having
trounced ' Caiman in the Two Thousand
Guineas, but an American-bred 2-year-old,
Democrat by name, came her and took
our most Important Juvenile contests. - He
won the Hurst Park plat. Coventry

"The twentieth century came In with a
frh American boom. We had already
been invaded with Yankee trainer and
th crouching Jockey, o that w wer
fully prepared for what was to follow.
Democrat and Disguise II went to the
post in hopes of repeating th Iroquois
triumphs, but the day had not yet ar
rived, Diamond Jubilee once more defeat
ing th invaders, although Disgul.' II
was not disgraced, running third. A lew
months later Mr. Keene's colt Disguise II,
when ridden . by our premier Jockey, M.
Cannon, took his revenge on the Derby
winner, in the Jockey . club stakes of
10,000. In the earn year Jiffy II won
both the great Ebor and th Glenwood
Plate, King's Courier snd Doncaster cup.
He then came out in 19U1, and this time
his great hit waa the Jockey 'club cup.
"Three, much-talked-of Derby candidates
In 1901 were Olympian, Tantalus and
Prince Charlie II, a trio all bred In the
mother continent, but like many predeces
sors they, on and all finished with the
'"also rans.".. However, two days later
Cap and Bells II won - our Oaks, while
the same season brought other "wonders"
accomplished by the Invaders from the
States. David Garrick won our old time
Chester Cup. and the cast Iron Kilmarnock
II, after finishing second to Bantol in the
Gold Cup ; 'came again' on the "Friday
and landed the Alexandra Plat on Ascot
Heath.
"Since then ' th American bred candi
dates for blue ribbon honor have arrived
as usual. In 1902 there were three In
truder, Kearsarge - and Laoewood all
failure. When (Rock Sand won In ' 1903,
there were seven runners,' sixth in - that
small field being the .United State of
America champion, Aceful. In St. Amint's
year 1904 Lancashire carried the American
hopes, but they fell when he finished
unplaced , In . that International - struggle.
Last year the backers of Norman. III. will
best remember how Slgneronetta ' showed
a clean pair of heels to her more fancied
rivals.
"During the Interim since the David
Garrick successes, Watershed Just landed
the Cambridgeshire of 1901, Gladwin, the
Portland Plate of 1902; Pharisee, th City
and Suburban of 1908; Rubla, the Grand
National of 1908. and ' Normon III, the
Two Thousand Guineas of 1MB. These are
the most Important rsces mentioned above
which have in turn fallen to the American
bred animals; minor races not worth men
tion here could be added, but few In com
parison with ' the wholesale number of
picked thoroughbred that have, been
shipped to these shores; in fact their cham
pions can be counted on one's left hand.
On the othor hand their failures . have
been Innumerable in the Derby, for
example, they have run twenty-three ani
mals, one of which has 'proved successful
and two have scrambled In for third
money. There wss the $60,000 Nasturtium
who never ran at all."
THUBY UMPIRE IS MAJOR LEAGUE
Star Player Will Try to Handle the
I ad Ira tor.
NEW YORK, March ST.-Of th National
league umpires this season none will leave
with more regret from minor league circles
than Harry Truby,. who makes his debut
after umpiring successfully for several sea
sons In the southeastern part of the coun
try. Truby has a great record as a ball
player and won the Three-1 League , pen
nant for Bloomlngton while second base
man for the local club In 1908, the only
flag ever landed by Bloomlngton. He also
made a notable record with Peorlaend
various'. Western league cities, following
his retirement from the National league.
Truby retired from the., game as player
after being released by Bloomlngton, but
could not resist th fascinations of the dia
mond and made, an application for umpire
In the South Atlantic league. He made
good there and in other, leagues snd his
admirers believe that he will prove equally
successful in the major organisation.
HARVARD MAY CUT BASKET BALL

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March SI7.-Th lack

ball team have been the cause for much
comment and the suggestion is msd that

It should be stricken from the list of In
tercollegiate sports at the university. In
past years Harvard has never been

for the season of 1909 to cap the climax.
The team played seven game and out of
this number it won only one. In the other
six it was generally decisively defeated
and seldom had the satisfaction of realis

There is little . question but that the

ATTELL IN HTCT AGAINST MOBA!
i
Retaaei to Shake Hands When They
Chaaee tat Meet.
NEW. YORK, March 27.-Members of the
Fairmount. Athletic club who saw th
Moran-Murphy bout, were unexpectedly let
Into a secret. When Abe At tell jumped into
the ring to challenge the winner he bowed
in response to generous applause and then,
according to ring etiquette, he walked over
to Murphy's corner and extended his hand
m friendship. Murphy shook It warmly
and Attell said something pleasant to the
Harlem boxer. But just when the members
expected to see Attell cross over to Moran's
corner for another cordial handshake the
American featherweight champion turned
the other way, muttering to himself, and
got out 'of the. ring without a look in
Moran's direction.. Moran saw it all. and
laughed, but club members apparently did
not approve the slight. Attell has been
very bitter in his feelings toward' Moran
ever since the clever Briton fought two
draws with him in California. Prior to
those encounters Allell wss hailed as the
best featherweight In the world, but after
dictating terms to Moran In each Instance
Attell found that he had met his match.
When Attell faced Jem Drlscoll recently
and was bested in ten rounds, he saw
Moran warmly encouraging the Welshman
and afterward tendering his congratula
tions. Attell, therefore, decided to keep
away from Moran until he could get the
Briton Into the ring with him again. As
Attell declared publicly that he wanted
to fight the winner of the Morao-Murphy
go, storting men were naturally looking
forward to a fight between Attell and
Moran. Attell, it is understood, wants to
box Moran at the American featherweight
limit, 131 pounds ringside, weight that
Moran can make, but it Is said that there
is no chance for a match until Moran has
either sjeceeded or failed in his desire to
take a crack at Battling Nelson, the light
weight champion. In a ten-round bout at
US pounds, ringside.
Because of Moran's splendid shewing
gainst Murphy there seemed to be a gen
eral desire to see him mix It up with Nel
son. Moran never put up a better fight in
his t than with the Harlem boxer. The
fact that Murphy hsd about five pounds
th better of the weight cut n figur with
Moran, who weighed a triflsT more than
US. Although Murphy is fully as clever In
ring sclene a Nelson, he could not ward
off Moran's fast snd never ceasing at
tack, with th result that he lecelved th
worst beating of hi career. If AUell would
agree to meet Moran at IX pounds, ring
side, or US pounds at o'clock. It I thought
that th Englishman would be stronger
than the American and weuld possibly win
decisively, just as Drlscoll did. But AUell,
according to friends, will taks no c bancs
Attell is anxious to meet Nelson, too,
and thinks he can outpoint the Battler for
the excellent reason that In a fifteen-round
bout in California just one year ago he
held the lightweight champion to a draw.
Nelson has been telling the sporting public
that he I ready to meet all comers, no
color barred, at the lightweight limit, and
Moran aay that he will give to th Battler
a chance to how that he I on the square.
It is the opinion In some quarters that
Moran will make a serious error if he
agrees to fight anybody at less than 126
pounds. He Is growing, snd In his present
form' it Is believed that he can make things
hum with Nelson or Attell unless he Is
compelled to weaken himself in order to
secure a malch. ,

inches high, which credits him with a
jump five Inches over hi own head. The only
other man to equal this performance In the
state of Michigan Is "Bobby" Hawkins, the
wonderful little Detroit university school
athlete. ' '
But, unlike Hawkins, Draper Is not built
for this event. The only thing In common
between the two it their tremendous
springiness. Draper is thickset, with ..very
broad shoulders, big legs and a short
neck. His head seems to be ' built almost
on his shoulders. To the ordinary observer
it did not seem ss tf he' could do better
than five feel two inches, yet awery time
the bar was raised he would clear it with
ise.
H doesn't jump like sny ether man
st Michigan. A few swift steps take him
almost to the pole. Then he bends down,
gathers himself together, and suddenly
leaps. Ills muscles are so elastlo and
springy that it seems as If he must have
left ft spring board. Ha goes over the, bar
with both feet at the same time and lands
lightly. 1
What is of as much importance as his
ability to Jump. Is the fact that he is elig
ible to compel for Michigan In any ' of
this springs meets. With a littl mere
practice, he should be able to clear sir
feet, and this height would mak him an
almost certain point winner In th eastern
meet. ;
