From all accounta Ketchel ha loat favor In California, where ha an once regarded a a world-beater. Thai wa wlnn he ahowed wlllln'gnea to fight anybody, regardlem of weight and Inihra, and a I no won fame hy displaying rematkabla ganienee In long drawn out encounters. Hut Ketchefa failure to atop raphe In twenty round and hla weak fight agalnat Jack Johrt'on opened the eyea of California experts, who now Insist that the once formidable Michigan piiglll la noth ing mora than an exploded phenomenon. Ketchel rerelved an offer of a lin.OOO gnsranlee not long mgo to meet Langford In 'Frisco during the week of the Jeffrles Jnhnaon affair. I.angford already had ac cepted tha proposition and snw no reason why Ketchel should not attach his signa ture to Iha article. But Ketchel, It seems, sent woid lo the promoters that he could not think of tackling I.angford In a fight that Involved so much wear and tear. In word, the Michigan fighter ahowed that ha did not csre to spend a month or more In strict trslnlng. Because of this luck of energy, therefore. Ketchel is roundly acored oi tha coast by persons who say ha Is afraid to take chances In a bout of more than six rounds and who predict that unless he Is absolutely fit Langford will make short work of him when they coma together In Quakertown. Iianrford. meanwhile, has made a pro nounced hit at the Golden Uitle and Is re- aided a the logical opponent of Jack Johnson, providing, jit course, the latter should happen to defeat Jeffrie. In that vent I.angford would promptly challenge Johnson to fight for $10,000 a -.lle and would post that amount Immediately to bind a match. Hut lngford doe not be lieve h will ever have a crack at John son for tha heavyweight championship, be-' cause he feels confident Jeffries will win the big fight. In expressing this belief tangford ssys Johnson lacks real game- ness; that If Jeff la fit and can hit like he used to, the negro champion will quit tinder fire. He Insists that no matter how clover Johnson's defense mav prove, Jef fries 'wlih his tremendous punches will lltf rally beat down the blit black's guard and hammer lilin Into a s'.ate of submis sion with blows on the body. If Jeffries wins, Langford saya he will not challenge, him, for ho declares he would have no chance to whip the boilermaker. But, on the other hand. If Johnson succeeds, the Boaton slugger will hound him Into a match, which he has been anxious to se cure for several years. Hackcnschmidt May Call Again Kana City Wanti Russian Lion to Try Hi Luck , Once . More. KANSAS CITY. April t. Several well know n wrestling promoters in this city are trying to Influence Oeorge Hacken schmidt, the Russian Lion, to come to this country again to display hla prowess In the mat game. Hackenschmidt Is the wrestler, It will ba remembered, who was handled so roughly by Frank Ootch, the world's champion, when the two met In a title bout two years ago. One of the men who is working to get Hackenschmidt to come to this country again Is W. W. Wlttig. He arranged the bout with Uotch two years ago. When he was asked If there was a possibility of the big wrestler coming here he said: . "In all probability Hackenschmidt can be persuaded to come. The best wrestlers 1n the world are In this country today, and It Is to his advantage to make the trip. Of course, he cannot forget the battle with Ootch. Hackenschmidt atill thinka he got a rough deal. However, that'a ancient history; so what's the use in talking about it. ".ome persons have told me that they do not believ the Rtissian would prove a good drawing card. Many of them think he quit In- the match with Gotch. I am not of that oninlon. however I ka. auraly be.ve tn,t n9 would be tta big a drawing card as ever. if we can get him to coine over I think I can arrange a match with Zbysxko for Mm, and that ought to make a great battle."

April -Th se curing of the national regatta for this August IS and 13 on the Potomac P.lver wna a clever mov on the part of the Potomac Boat Club, which made tha bid for th affair, and President Charles n. Warden "and his able lieutenants ar com ing In for high praise on securing the blue ribbon aquatlo event of America. Ther was no regular regatta scheduled for the Potomac river for the present year. Balti more was on a hot scent for the Labor Day regatta of tha Middle States Associa tion, and last fall Boston wanted It badly, but on the pretext that their new cause way was not completed they withdrew, though at the same meeting the New Eng land Association had July 4 given them for tha day of their big race meet. Baltimore set up a claim of straw, while Saratoga made a feeble bid, and both were wiped away when they saw ar. almost unanimous disposition to vote Washington. It was but another vote of confidence In the ability of the Potomao Boat Club to manage such . national affairs, as their record of three middle states held here by this club haa given them a world-wide International reputation among the oars men, and it's up to the membership to keep up that reputation by making; the two day's national of 1010 the greatest regatta America has ever seen. Claude R. Zappone. the delegate from Washington on the National Association, states that the sentiment everywhere wa for Washington, and he la confident that the rgatta. will eclipse the most fond hopes, and President Pllklngton and Secretary Fortmyer of the association were en thusiastic in stating that they really be lieved Washington would be taxed to house the crowd that would flock here to see the regatta. To boom this feature of the reg-atta it Is expected that the convention committee of the Chamber of Commerce will get busy and by the distribution of literature Induce many from far away places like Canada, the extreme northwest and south to visit the city during the regatta. They are going to make it a gala week; that is, if tha go ahead boomers on the convention commit tees are backed up by the full Chamber of Commerce, and visitors will see Washing ton at lta best, even though it be mid summer. The action of the Chamber of Commerce In lending its services and co-operation to the Potomac Boat club to make the affair J it la hoped, by the Board of Trade; which will be asked by the local oarsmen to help along the city affair. Commissioner Ru dolph is an enthslastic exponent of aquatics and rowing In general, and aa head of the district government is very much gratified that Washington secured the regatta. Tha National Association of Amateur Oarsmen of America fn awarding the 1810 regatta to Washington ' acted wisely and will redound to the credit of those in' charge. The two daya of classic rowing vents will attract the best oarsmen ot America and our northern British posses sions, it will stimulate Interest among our oarsmen, will afford visitors an opportunity to see our unrivaled course on the Potomac, and there Is no doubt our generous public will respond to the call liberally when sent out by the committee In charge. President Taft, who Is an ardent oars man, having pulled on the Yale varsity crew, Is elated that the Potomac river will Prattle of the Padded Ring No Bar Privilege at the Big Fight Because Gleason Doesn't Care to Be Responsible in Event of a Race Riot Bat Nelson May Land in New Orleans More Fight Specials for San Francisco KetcheU in Question. Jack Gleason, promoter of the Jeffries Johnson fight, was offered 110,000 a day for July 1, 2 and 4 for the bar privileges in the arena tobe built on the race track, at Emeryville, dleason turned down the ofter. A short time ago a tentative offer for the bar privileges was made to Gleason while he waa in Chicago on hla way 'to this city. lie said then that he would not al low the sale .of liquor at the arena on the day of the Jeffries-Johnson fight, al though he said nothing about the previous day, when other fights will be held as sort of preliminaries to the big climaxing kbatile. Til tell you." said he, "there is going to be a great deal of feeling In that fight. There la going to be so much that there is danger of race riots. We shall have the arena -policed aa no other similar gather- I lng was evr policed before, but I'm tak- ing no chancea on -boose. Of course, We 1 cannot atop men from carrying drink in !flak. not going to aell any. at least, that is the intention now. If we 'should operate a bar, there wilVbe a great I deal of drinking, and the excitement from the liquor la likely to cause no end of trouble. From now on we csu look for the usual batch of false alarms from the training camps. If Is always the case, some one will start a rumor that Johnson has broken a toe or that Jeffrie has tackled a moun tain lion and had both his arms chewed off, and thua they will continue. But there la too much at stake for harm to overtake either man through carelessness. Why. there Is talk cf Insuring each fighter and the referee for ta.O0O each.

LEGS BROKEN SLIDING IN BASE BALL GAMES tollaae Playa Hare Been Jnreal Far Tale rla. la- NW YORK, April . Two college base ball playera have been badly injured this spring while In tha act of eliding to base, one at Harvard and one at Tale. This sort of Injury has been frequent on the diamond in recent years. A few yeare ago George Van Haltren, then of the Giants, broke hla leg while eliding for second base on the old Tlttsburg grounds. Lefty Davlfj broke hla leg the same way on the same grounds, and Mike bonlln fractured a leg while making a slide on the Cincinnati grounds. Another player who broke a leg sliding was Otla Clymer. As a matter of fact the second cushion haa been prominent aa a atatlon at which accidents have occurred. There have been Innumerable spiking at that position, most of them accidental, but a few Inten tional, and other accidents resulting In the incapacitating of a player for a considera ble length of time. Year before last Larry Doyle was stepped on by John Hummel whl e the latter was trying to reach second base at the Polo grounds, and Larry waa out of it for the reat of the season. In a previous season Tim Donahue of the Chi cago Nationals waa severely spiked by Jack Warner while the latter waa making a slide'. Harry Slelnfeldt and Napoleon La joie had a collision at second base. Every body thought for a moment that Steinfeldt had been killed, but he soon recovered. La joie, however, as a result of the accident developed water on the knee and was out of the game for a considerable length of time. Hal Chase has been spiked on the hand a couple of times sliding to second. Fewer and in some case fatal accidents on the ball field, however, have been more due to other causes, such as head-on col lisions and playera being struck by pitched and batted balls. Already thla sea son there ha been a death from a pitcher being struck by a batted ball. Also dan gerous is a swiftly pitched ball, the narrow escape of Roger Bresnahan two years ago fatality was that the other day a boy was hit on the head by a fly ball, death re sulting In a few hours.

S NEW YORK, April .-The board of gov ernors of the Aero Club of America, at a special mealing, selected Saturday, October 22, aa the date for holding the International aviation contest for 1910.

The Digger is most- anxious to trackle Jimmy Walsh of Boston. They have fought four limes, each getting a victory. ,The other two fights were draws. After Ketchel called off hia three fights in Atlanta, New Orleana and Memphis, Sam Langford, who la scheduled to meet the former aasassin in Philadelphia, began to got frightened that Ketchel would call this off too. Ketchel intimated that his thumb ti saya he broke it hitting Frank Klaus over the head in Pittsburg was in bad shape and he would have to have a postponement. Thon Igoe let loose the story that Ketchel and Langford had signed with Sid Hester to box forty-five rounds in or near Ban Francisco in the summer afid thst the Philadelphia date would not be carried out. Langford came forward with the assertion that he 'never I signed to fight Ketchel in the west, but j that he was determined to meet him in Philadelphia within a month.

SUUSER BALL FOR STUDENTS Some College Have Given Up Crusade j Against the Lads' Flaying. ) RULES ARE HARD TO ENFORCE Meat t liege Are Trylaa; to Aly Amatear Rale Baa Ball, as Well a 1 kt Other a port. NEW YORK, Aptll . With the ba ball season once sgaln under way the interest ing and puxxling problem In collegiate athletics becomes again prominent. It Is well known that some of the colleges in the country have entirely given up their efforts of prohibiting the playing ot eum mer base ball for money or lta equivalent by their students. These colleges say thst It is not prac ticable to enforce the amateur rules with regard to this sport; that It ha been tried In the past and failed; that It is better to come out squarely and permit the atudents to play, for money under certain restrictions than to prohibit It and not be able to en force the prohibition. They also say that the efforts toward control result tn a .great deal of hypocrisy and falsifying with a consequent greater Injury to the student body than the open permission to the play ers to spend their summer vacation In play ing base ball for money. These colleges permit men who play on professional ferns during the aummer time to play In Inter collegiate Contests the following spring. There are other Institutions which aie endeavoring to control this matter by allow ing the students to play aummer base ball for money, but not permitting them to play afterward in Intercollegiate contests. In order to give them opportunity of play ing base ball in the spring special teams of Ineligiblea are formed and these play with the intercollegiate representatives, but do not take part in intercollegiate contests. Most of the colleges of the land aie en deavoring to, apply the amateur rules to college base ball as well as to other forms of sport. These institutions find that it is a most difficult problem In intercollegiate athletics with which they have to deal. Very stringent rules are necessary, and the temptations to violate them are so great that many' students undoubtedly do ao and then conceal the fact. The demand for good base ball players la so great In this sport-loving country that the pi-oblem is bound to continue lo be a most serious one. Many organisa tions are dealing with the subject In a most drastic manner and have succeeded in applying amateur ' rules pretty thor oughly to summer base ball among the colleges and universities represented In their membership. Among ttvso colleges are the Intercollegiate Southern associa tion, the Ohio State association and the "Big Nine," centering about Chicago. The Intercollegiate Athletio association haa been Studying the question for several years. It obtained a report in 1307 from all parts of the country', which showed that the evasion of the amateur rule in sum-, r.tL.,,w' then it has had committees working on th: J subject endeavoring, first, to get a satis factory enunciation ot th amateur law, and, second, to devise a uniform means for enforcing this law with respect to sum mer base ball. The task is not an easy one and It Is by no means as yet - com pleted. The greatest trouble, is that the publk) and the student body' Itself are not educated equally as to what la the law of amateurism or as to Its necessity. The matter is to be reported on again. The Amateur Athletic Research society i mak ing a special study of this problem and It is hoped that some satisfactory solution will be evolved by next December. A great deal of interest is manifested in the efforts of Dartmouth to settle this question for itself. The authorities there are endeavoring to educate the student body to the opinion that it Is not fair for the professional to compete against the non-professionals; that the young man who goes off and spends his summer months in playing professional base ball should not afterward return to college and compete in intercollegiate contests, because It makes the game unfair to the other side. It, however, believes that the young men who need to make money to pay their way through college ahouid be al lowed to do so on base ball fields if they can, and yet not be deprived ot.the priv ilege of playing during college season. To accomplish thes ends this institution has elected the scheme of forming . teams of players eligible for Intercollegiate contests. Such teama have every opportunity to play In intramural games, but are not allowed to take part In intercollegiate contests. This is the scheme being tried at Dart mouth' and It aervea to have many good features. It is a practicable way of' set tling this vexed question of giving the boy who needs to make money and can do It on professional baae ball ninaa an oppor tunity for thia and yet not deprive him of the privilege of playing during the aca demic season. On the other hand, it will remove the temptation to falsify, and it will do away with the unfairness that comes! from making the average college man p ay In the Intercollegiate contesta against any professional. Something should be done to correct the evils resulting from the tempta tion to conceal professionalism on the part of our college base ball players. One fea ture that complicates the situation la the fact that two or three colleges and univer sities in a region may be endeavoring to apply the amateur rule atrictly to base ball, whereas most of Its rivals may not apply these rules. The rivalry between in stitutions and th desire for victory are so atrong In many cases that It all leads to many infractions of the rules of ama teurism, Which have a serious result on the morals of the student bodies of the com peting institution. Probably within the next year or two methods wiil be estsbllshed which will con serve the rights of all, meet with public approbation, and preserve principles ef amateurism in college sports.

S. as a blood medicine, in fact had a friend who had cured himself of the same disease through its use, so as soon as I discovered the nature of my trouble I began taking it. I got along splendidly from the very first and my recovery was steady. When I first began the use of S. S. S. my ' face was so full of sores and eruptions that I could not share. Other parts of my body were similarly affected, but there is ' ' now not a blotch, pimple or any. other sign of the disease. I was cured by S. S. S. and I know I am cured to stay cured as this was several yenrs ago. There is nothing that equals S. S. S. for Contagious Blood Toisoii and I always recommend it in such cases. WALTER WliBER. N"o- 43.'i Fourth St., Evansville, Ind. The acknowledged virtue of S. S. S. as a blood remedy induced Mr. Weber to commence its use when he found he had contracted Contagious Blood Poison. The good results he obtained is just another demonstration of its value as a cure for this disease. Contagious Blood Poison is the most powerful and destructive of all blood disorders. Its virus permeates the entire circulation and this explains why any one afflicted with this malady usually finds its symp toms manifested in every portion of the body. From head to foot the insidious poison breaks forth. The hair and eyebrows come out, the mouth and throat ulcerate, skin eruptions and sores and ulcers break out on the body, the bones ache, glands in the groin swell, and frequently the nails on hands and feet are affected. The only possible way to cure Contagious Blood Poison is to remove the cause by purifying the blood. This is just what S. S. S. does; and it is the only medicine that absolutely and thoroughly cleanses the circulation of every particle of the germs and virus of the disease. Mercury, Potash, etc., are often used by despairing sufferers in the hope that such strong treatment will kill the poison. But this cannot be done; the disease may be checked temporarily and the symptoms improved, but the old poison is slumbering in the blood, and when the treatment is left off the disease always returns. The ability of S. S. S. to cure Contagious Blood Poison comes from its blood purifying properties. It goes into the circulation and removes every trace of the poison, makes the blood pure and healthy and leaves no dregs of the virus to break out later on. S. S. S. is made entirely of roots, herbs and barks, each of which has a direct and I PURELY VEGETABLE I cious Blood Poison the entire system we want to neip every contagious tsiood Poison sufferer to cet t .ft a .aa anfj for (-,iS purp0se we have prepared a special book for Home We will mail this book with any special medical advice Free.
