At the time that Jack Tolliver made the statement that Marin Plestina could beat any wrestler in the game, he also said that Adolph JJrnest could do the same thing, ex cepting Plestina. Now Jack Lewis, the local promoter of big , matches comes to bat with the announcement that he .will s'tage a match between Ernest Ind John Pesek if Tolliver is empowered to make a match for Ernest. Lewis is certain that Mart Slattery, Pesek's manager will grab a bout with Adolph and all, that is necessary for the match to be closed is for TolliYer to post a forfeit to bind the go. , " Just when the Western league clubs have their hands full lining up their players for the coming season, E.

Al Tear ney has stated that he will step aside and allow Dickerson to fill the posi tion if he really wants it. The matter will be adjusted this afternoon at a meeting in Chicago and the National Association of Minor League Clubs. No action has been taken by the Municipal leage on the application ot the Greater Omaha league for permission to play in enclosed parks and still be classed among the amateurs, but the opinion is freely expressed that there will 'be nothing doing. Omaha will be a member of the Mid West Amateur base ball as sociation, which body frowns on players receiving money directly or indirectly for playing ball and as the Greater Omaha league players re ceive a "cut" of the gate money, they would not be eligible for mem bership in the big association, It looks like the G. O. leaguers are los ing valuable time, in not organizing their own semi pro body and in stead, testing1 the Muny league rul ing. It would be better for the class A players to perfect their or ganization and elect' their officers for the year and then if they cared to, they could make their formal ap plication for a place in the new amateur association.

IWhy Suffer from It? Sufferers Should Realize That It Is Blood Infection and Can Be Permanently Relieved. Rheumatism means that the blood has become saturated with uric acid poison. It does not require .medical ad- vice to know that good health is ab solutely dependent upon pure blood. When the muscles and joints be come sore and drawn with rheuma tism, it is not a wise thing to take a little salve and by rubbing it on the sore spot, expect to ge rid of your rheumatics.
