and are entitled to an extra reward for

policy that will commend ltelf to the lov

Prealdent O'Neill and the team ownera
of the Western league are about to do
handsome thing by the widow of Frank
O. SHe In playing benefit games for her
at Omaha, fllonx City ' and Des Moines.
Thesa are tha three cities of the circuit

rHls aervtcea to the gam are too great

You have tha opportunity of showing your

'out and overflow every park. In the early
years of tha Western league and again In

visard whan September I roll round.
Prealdent Murphy of tha Chicago Cuba
lntenda to propose several changes In tht
government of professional baa ball at
the winter congress this year and one
change Is to give tha players a representa
tive on tha National oommlsalon. Thus
far this proposal , Strike a responsive
chord among tha players and all lovers of
fair sport, but Mr. Murphy modifies his
good resolution by specifying that thla rep
resentative shall not be a player; he must
simply be an advocate for the players.
Why not a player? If tha magnates them
selves are members of the commission,
why not allow tha players to have one
3m their number on the board? Are
yr playera not aa trustworthy as the mag
nates? If the commission wera composed
entirely of playera It certainly could not
be any worse than it haa been known to
on certain occasions.
' Omaha la not yet out of the pennant race,
It the pitchers can come to life the team

and playing the Inside game effectively.
It only serious weaknesa la In

Isn't any good reason why Omaha should

Never In tb history of organised base

(najors on the minors as this year. The
' purchases, too, ar large In piumber. Mani
festly the big league teams are up against
tha necessity of renovating and they are
ec"rtng the country with fine tooth oombs.
The competition Is terribly keen. Leaguea
of every classification have been raided.

s. Detroit doe not look any more like a

Two week from Tuesday will see the
Cornhusker foot ball warriors at practice
on the new Nebtsska field In preparation
for one of the most promising eaone thev
have faced since the days of good, old
"Buramy" Booth, who p.ioed Nebraska on
the foot ball map. "King-' Cole has an
nounced he will be on deck In Lincoln
September tl and he expecta alt his pro
teges to be ready to receive Instruction
from him on that day. There can be no
dilatory tactics usml by the players thla
fall, for Coach Col Is up against a great
problem In rounding hi eleven Into form
for a .big early seanon game.
Here Is jut whst "King" Is up against:
With practice beginning on September !1.
ha will have just twenty-lx daya, Sundays
Included, to get hi men In shape for the
hardest gams on the Nebraska i schedule,
the Minnesota game which ar t be
played In Omaha October 2. There will be
only two game played by the Cornhuekers
before the clash with the Gophers, giving
the Cornhuekers but little chance to see
what their playa will dq In contest. Then
to make matters much worse a few of the
best men will be late In reporting for prac
tice probably two or three will not reach
Lincoln until October 1 making It almost
Impossible for them to get hardened In time
to go against tha Oopher In a grueling
contest.
oath Dakota aad Kaog.
If the Cornhuskers show up no better In
the South Dakota and Knox gamea than
they did In the first two games of last
season they will be In mighty poor shape
for Minnesota. In 1808 they had three
gamea before they met Minnesota Peru,
Doane and Grlnnell nd yet In none of
these did they develop tha strength they
should have had. In both tha Peru and
Doane games their work waa a disappoint
ment and In the Orlnnell game It was so
poor that It was nearly fatal. The Iowa
boya rushed "King" Cole's men off their
feet in the flrat few minutes of playing
and pushed the bsll down the field for a
touchdown before tha Cornhuskers came
to realise that they were In tha game.
This scoring had tha effect of awakening
the Nebraska men and they went Into
the game with a new vim and won, al
though not by a very larga score.
With the material the Cornhuskers had
last aeason twelve veterans on the squad
they should have been In fine shspe
early In the aeason, but they did not strike
their gait until the Iowa game at Iowa
City. In that contest and In the Ames
and Wabash gamea were the only times
during the season that they played the
kind of foot ball they were able to play.
At Minneapolis, against the Gophers,
when the score was 0 to tie, they
played below their standard. If they had
played the kind of a game they should
have for a team with twelve veteran, they
would have won and that easily. Minne
sota expected to lose and were surprised
that they did not.
Task for Three Weeks.
If tha Cornhuskers last season with that
bunch of veterans could not get Into shspe
within six weeks to meet the Gophers. It
certainly will be a big task for team
with much new material to get ready to
give the Gophers a hard game In but little
more than three weeka of training.
"King" Cola, of course, realiseswhat he
la up against, and he will start In on the
jump to put hla men tn tha best shape
poaslble. There will be no "duffing" In
any quarters. Ha will ba assisted by
Maurice Benedict, a former Nebraska star.
and possibly will he given the service
of John Westover for drilling the line men.
Minnesota this year la going tn have a
whirlwind In It back field and It will
take a stolid Cornhusker line to prevent
straight line gains. Johnson and McQov-
em, two of last season's men, will be In
the back field again for the Gopher, and
they will be In shspe to do greater work
tnan tney did last rail. McQovern was
enough of a terror laat October to keep
Nebraska from winning and to nearly win
the game for hi team. He was new to
foot ball then, but by October 18. with the
schooling he will get, he should be a
mighty good ground gainer for Minnesota.
In addition to a fast back field, Minne
sota will have strong line. Several men
of laat year's freshman eleven will be
eligible for the 'varsity thla fall, and they
will give Coach Williams one of the heav
iest lines he has had In several years.
Three of the new Gophers weigh S00
pounds, and all give promise of msklng
good for Una joba.
Wt a Heavy Corah sake.
At Lincoln "King" Cole will probably
hava a lighter team to work with than
waa there last fall. Three or four line men'
have been lost, and yet It Is doubtful what
new material will be able to fill tha posi
tions of these men.
There are several heavy men among the
new candidates, and should they succeed
In getting on the team they will malts It
about aa heavy as It waa last year.
But It Is not a heavy team that "King"
Cola is going to depend upon to win gamea
this year. He looks for hla back field to
do the beat defensive work. He
will try to get a line that will
hold In the defense, and spend much
of his time developing plays for the baek
field to uee In gaining ground. More than
ever before, Nebraska will us open and
new etyle plays. Coach Col realises this
and that he haa material In hla baek field
to make Nebraska one of the best ex
ponents of the modern game of font ball
this season or any team In the west. He
will start In to bring his pupils Into ex
cellent condition by October II; he may
succeed, and If he doe there will be a
great batUe at Vinton park on that day.
and start the work at Syracuse univer
sity, where he was head coach last year, j
He will leave Brother "Tad" there a head
coach and return to New Haven Septem
ber 1. meeting Captain Coy.
All the prominent candidates tor this
year's Harvard foot hall eleven have re
ceived Invitations from their captain,
"Ham" Fish, to join him at his home at
Irvlngton-on-the-Hudson and there pre
pare for the coming season. Light prsc
tlc will be Indulged In and It Is expected
that a tackling dummy will be rigged up.
Practice at Cornell will start September
K, but many of the candidates for the
team will report at Ithaca before that
date. Tha field coaches will Include for
mer Captain Walder, four yeara on the
varsity; Barney O'llourke, who was grad
uated laat June after four year as gusrd
and tackle; Dan Reed and "Bunny" Lar-kin.

ITHACA, N. T.. Sept 4.-Wlth the ap
proach of the foot ball season and the
opening of the college year at Cornell
university the coachen and managers of
the Cornelllsns are already beginning to
lay plans for the foot ball cartyalgn. Al
though the Initial practice doe not occur
until September 24, It Is expected that a
number of candidates will report here
ahead of time. The red and white aggrega
tion will not lack good coaching this season
for the system will be more complete and
thorough than at any time since the gradu
ate Idea wont Into effect.
Th field ro'mmltte this year Is com
posed of Ifenry Schoelkopf and Morrta
Malltday, who have served In that capacity
for a number of years. Captain Tydeman
of th team will also serve on this com
mittee. They are supervisor of the sys
tem and are to aee that enough coaches
are back and that the plan run well.
Th field coaches who will be here through
out the year Include former Captain Wal
der, four years fullback on the varlty,
and Barney O'Rourke, who was graudated
last June after four years' valiant service
aa guard and tackle. It is also understood
that Dan Meed and Bunny Larkin will also
be here thla fall.
Among th men who have not come
back since the new system was Inau
gurated, but who have announced that
they will be at the field thla fall Is Bill
Sheppard. '08. who was a crack halfback
In hla day. It Is also stated that Morrison,
who also played half at that time, may be
looked for. Bert Hanson, '93. on of the
old foot ball stars, has agreed to get up
for several weeks.
Another new fac will be that of Ralph
Kent, who was an assistant coach for
several years under Warner, but haa not
been her much since th new system went
Into effect. Kent has coached freshmen
teams and waa here also when Warner
and Lueder were , running the foot ball
machln.
It Is announced that Henry Schoelkopf,
jr., will be back to coach and hopes to
spend some time In Ithaca. Schoelkopf is
remembered for his brilliancy as half
back. He later went to Harvard and
played on the Harvard team. When Percy
Haughton coached Cornell Schoelkopf wa
one of his stars, and It Is stated that
Haughton' friendship for some of tha red
and white advisers was factor In bring
ing about th foot ball gam with Harvard
that la to be played on November 14.
O. H. Toung, the man who beat Prince
ton In 1900 by a long drop kick, will prob
ably be here for month. Toung has
taken an active Interest In the new system,
but was not here much last year. Former
Captain Beachman, '(IT, on of the members
of the executive committee of the Alumni
Foot Ball association, may com back,
though his duties at West Point, where
he 1 one of th leading foot ball coaches,
keep him pretty busy.
Thompson, the big guars of '06. '08 and
'07 teams, Is expected to aid tn the work.
It I also atated that Cook, Jack Lynch,
Pollack and a number of newer foot ball
grsds are to be here at different times.
Clynt Wyekoff, formerly crack quarter
back and a member of the executive com
mittee of th Alumni association, I ex
pected to put In a couple of weeks, too.

lead of Omaha batters. He, Fisher and

KEPT OPEN BY BAD BLOOD
Whenever " sore refuses to lieal it is because of bad blood. The circu
lation has become contaminated with impure, polluted matter which has not
only diseased the blood, but also destroyed its plasmic or natural healing
propertiea. The sore or ulcer therefore remains open, while the morbid
discharge from the circulation intolt, causes the place to inflame and fester.
Impurities in the blood which keep old sores open, come from
different causes. A long spell of debilitating sickness, which breeds
disease germs in the system, is a com
mon source. These morbid impurities
get into the circulation, and the blood
Becomes a polluted, infectious fluid,
which instead of nourishing the fibres
and tissues of the flesh, irritates and
ulcerates them by continually discharg
ing its impurities into the place. An-'
other cause for bad blood is the reten
tion in the system of the refuse and
waste matters of the body. Those
members of the body whose duty it is
to carry off the useless accumulations
become dull and sluggish in their action
and leave their work imperfectly done,
and this fermenting matter is absorbed
Into the circulation. The weakening
or polluting of this vital fluid may also
come as the results of some constitu
tional disease, especially where mineral
medicines are used for a protracted
time, while persons who are born with
any hereditary blood taint are very apt
to be afflicted with old sores.
Local or external applications can
not cure an old sore, because they do
not reach the blood. Such treatment may reduce the inflammation,
lessen the pain and discharge, and tend to keep the place clean, but can
do no real good toward effecting a permanent cure. The sore cannot
possibly healuntil the impurities have been removed from the circulation
and its natural, healing constituents restored.
Since an impure condition of the blood is responsible for old sores, a
medicine that can purify the blood is the only hope of a successful cure;
and it should be a medicine that not only cleanses the circulation, but one
that at the same time restores the blood to its normal, rich, nutritive
condition. S. S. S, is just such a remedy. It is made entirely of healing,
cleansing, blood-nourishing, roots, herbs and barks. S. S. S. has long
been recognized as tne
greatest of all blood puri
fiers, possessing the prop
erties that are most neces
sary in all impure or
morbid conditions of the
circulation. WhenS.S.S.
has purified the blood,
old sores heal readily and
surely because they are
no longer fed and kept open by a continual discharge into them of
BAD SORE FROM OLD
WOUND.

to any who ar tn ned of a
blood purifier, and especially at
a remUy for sores and obstinate

badly cut on th sharp edge of
a barrel, and having, on a blu

it seemed to ms, everything I
had ever heard of but I got no
relief, and I thought I would
hare to go through Ufa with an
angry, discharging sor on my
leg. At last I began the use of
9.8. S., and it was but a short
time until I saw that the place
was Improving. I continued it
until it removed all the poison
from my blood and mad a com
plete and permanent our of the
