CONGRATULATION
WIRED MELADY BY
COMMISSIONERS
Minnesota Boxing Board Mem
bers Commend Local ,
Sportsmen for Inter
est in Bout.
The boxing commissioners of
Minnesota have heard all about the
band of Omaha, sportsmen going to
their city to witness the champion
ship battle between Gibbous and
O'Dowd, tomorrow night. Two of
the officials . of the Gopher state
boxing Doard sent Gene Melady, the
leader of the movement, a telegram
of congratulation.
vThe Minnesota commissioners
hope, the Omaha party will enjoy
the program and will undoubtedly
go somewhat out of their way to
make it an enjoyable trip. Movies
will be taken of the Omaha boxftTg
boosters in a parade arranged by
St. Paul business men, which will
be headed by a brass band fur
nished by those same business men.
The boxing commissioners' tele
gram follows:
"Gene Melady, Omaha, Neb.:
"Want to congratulate you on
your interest in visiting our great
boxing show. Hope yw and your
party have nice trip and enjoy the
bouts while in our city.
"Signed: Thompson and Sieber
lick, Boxing Commissioners."
The Omaha enthusiasts will leave
on the Northwestern railroad to
night at 9 o'clock. They will stay in
St. Paul over Saturday and see the
;reat foot ball game. The party, with
one or two exceptions, will leave
Saturday night on the return trip,
arriving in Omaha eajjy Sunday
morning.
from The 4tf&
Jportin$h'totf'$
TONIGHT'S the night for the "Melady
Special" to get under way for St.
PauC where those who have made reser
vations with Gene Melady for berths and
ringside seats at the middleweight cham
pionship scrap between the two Mikes,
O'Dowd and Gibbons. Upon arrival in
St. Paul the party will be met by a large
party of business men of the Twin City
and the entire company v will parade
through V the town, headed by a large
brass band. During the march, moving
picture photographers will "grind" the
parade. It is thought that the films will
be sent to Omaha for display in the local
show houses.
rpHE title battle narrows down to a
question of whether "Phantom" Mike
Gibbons is in anything like his old form.
P.eports from St. Paul would lead a close
follower of the game to believe that "The
Shadow" has slipped. If he has, O'Dowd
will have a good chance of winning the
bout. At his best. Gibbons would have
no trouble in disposing of O'Dowd and
would have a good chance to win the title
by knocking the champion out. The same
reports carry stories to the effect that
O'Dowd is performing admirably in his
training, displaying form that surprises
the most sanguine of his backers. He is
said to be faster than he ever showed be
fore and carries tremendous power in his
punches. For that matter, he was al
ways regarded as a heavy hitter, but lit
tle thought was given to his ability to
land a finishing blow on his crafty op-'
ponent, Friday night.'
I rPHE rumor is current In Omaha fistic
matched at Fort Omaha with Pal Moore,
the Memphis bantam. No one seems to
know whether this is a certainty or not,
but unless Moore has grown rapidly in
the past year, the bout is unlikely. A
year or so ago Moore was nothing more
than a bantamweight. Callahan is a full
grown lightweight, perhaps a couple of
pounds below this weight. How then
could he and Moore make a good match.
Moore is not to be classed with Jimmy
Wilde, the wonderful little British fly
'weight, able to concede 15 to 18 pounds
and then beat top-notchers. If memory
serves me rightj Moore bond Wilde in
England not long ago. Has he grown
enough in that time to permit his being
matched with Callahan, a lightweight, and
one of no mean ability T Omaha fans
would welcome another appearance of Cal
lahan at the local fort, if an opponent of
equal poundage and boxing skill is pro
cured for him, but they would not coun
tenance the matching of a bantam and a
lightweight, even such classy performers
as these little fellows.
Are you going to the theater or
movies tonight? If so, see Amuse
ment page.
rpiiE contestants in the main event at
- Council Bluffs on November 28, Billy
Uvick and Harry Williams, started their
training a few days ago, and each states
that he will be in first-class shape ' for
their six-round mill. Both men declare
the referee will have no trouble in declar
ing a winner, as each is determined to
make the victory a decisive one. It is
needless to say that Williams and Uvick
are each claiming a win. Uvick thinks his
added weight will give his punching
greater power, enough to put over a
knockout on Williams, and the latter says
he will show Uvick and the fans that he
was really in no condition to box when
he met Uvick on November 1 after a 200
mile automobile trip. This time, he de
clares, he will be,in much better physical
condition and will have a good night's
rest before the bout and will be able to
punch his way to an early victory. Either
way, it should sure be some battle and
should draw as well as the recent Calla-han-Drexel
mill at Fort Omaha, if not a
little better, as the boxers each have a
great following.
REPORTING
himself already in fine
Earl Caddock the world's
champion heavyweight wrestler, has
started an extra strenuous campaign of
training to fit himself more surely for his
return to the mat game, when he meets
Sara Clapham, the British champion, at
the Omaha Auditorium on December 6.
Caddock's performance will be watched
anxiously by his many friends and ad
mirers, for it is feared by many of them
that Earl's experience in foreign lands
did not tend to benefit his wrestling. Gene
Melady. his manager, declares that the
champion will be in better form than he
ever was, when he makes his initial ap
pearance on the mat, sine his return from
France. If he is actually better than he
ever was. he should experience no grer.t
trouble " . defeating the British title
holder. Clanhara will make a great trial
borse for him.
New York, Nov. .19. 'At a meet
ing of the board of directors of the
American League, a call was issued

ing so that appropriate action could
be taken on the matter at the

per cent of the receipts from the
vorld's series. v
The board addressed the follow

key, president of the base ball club, t'ht
caso, 111., In response to a communica
tion addressed to you under d:ite of Sep
tember 17, 1919. and advised him at the
same time that you had addressed a
similar communication to the president
of each club in the Amerlean league.
"In your communication of October 15,
ypu, among other things, say:
" 'All contracts, documents, accounts or
papers of any kind pertaining to the
business of the American League which

have always been open at any time to
the Inspection of the -president . or any
officers of any club In the league, and
are now open to such inspeclion.'
"At today's meeting of the board of
directors (which you, as usual, did not
attend) the question was raised, as to
what your real relations to this league
are.
"To enable us to reach a proper con
clusion upon this subject we request that
you do immediately submit to our repre
sentative, Mr. Nicholas V. Lanssen, who
will present this communication to you,
all reasons, or contracts, arrangements or
agreements, which undertake to establish

IXTY-FIVE THOUSAND loose nuts rattled up to New Haven to
see Tiny Maxewell referee the Yale-Princeton tableaux viyants.
when Tiny referees a came there are alwavs three teams Dlavinjr.
The old boy only weighs about 400 pounds and a piano. He will never
be outweighed until the Bronx Zoo puts a team of freshman elephants on
the gridiron. Which ain't likely, owing to the lack of co-operation among
the alumni of that Bronx insnijtution of learning and peanuts. !
After piping Maxey umpiring the Penn-Dartmouth game Ring
Lardner chirped that Tiny should be disqualified for roughing. When
officiating he plays a roving game, swaying from side to side like a chained
hippo. When any trouble arises, Tiny just .falls onit and irons it out
like a Chink polishing a collar. It seems incredible, but 10 years ago
he was in the cerise" of condition, being trained, down to 300 pounds of
gristle and elbows. He played on the Swarthmore team that flattened
the works in 1906, and the "S" on his sweater made the sign on the But
terick building look like agate type. ,v
Tiny was an all-round athlete. When he put the shot it stayed put.
When he rolled out for the 100-yard dash 'the timekeeper- threw away
his split second watch and called for an eight-day clock. When Mel
Shcppard and Jim Mulligan were starring for Brown Prep of Philadel
phia Maxwell ran a relay against 'em. The track was narrow. They got
the rail and nobody's passed him yet. What he lacked in speed he made
up in width.

WHY MAKE THE
ANNUAL STRUGGLE
WITH RHEUMATISM?
Nature Gives a Cry for Help
That S. S. S. Can Answer
With the Right Treatment.
This is the season when the
damp, cold, changing weather
of winter intensifies the pains
and .other disagreeable symp
toms of Rheumatism.
Rheumatism never comes
by accident. It is in the blood
and system before a pain is
felt.
The symptoms of this dis
ease are almost unnoticed at
first, so insidiously do they
steal over the body; gradually
the little pains and stiffness
increase until they develop
great inconvenience day by
day,' and if neglected or im
properly treated will become
chronic.
Not only is rheumatism the
most painful of all diseases,
with its swollen, stiff joints,
throbbing muscles and sting
ing nerves, but it sis a formid
able and dangerous trouble.
Every day the poison re
mains in the system the dis
ease gets a firmer hold and
the patient is soon left a help
less cripple.
Of course, if this painful
disease Was on the surface
only, you might reasonably
expect to get relief by the use
of lotions, liniments and other
local applications. But the
source of the disease is in your
blood, the tiny disease germs
find lodgment there and mul
tiply by the millions, scattered
by means of the blood circu
lating throughout your entire
system. , N
In order t6 get permanent
relief from this dreadful dis
ease, the blood must be puri
fied, and all irritating matter
removed from the circulation.
No remedy does this so
quickly as S. S. S.. the best
blood purifier on the market
today, that has stood the test
of time with fifty years of
success behind it, and more
popular today than it has ever
been before.
S. S. S. not only contains
purifying and tonic proper
ties, but solvent qualities, and,
being purely vegetable, will
not injure the system as do
medicines which contain
potash and other mineral in
gredients. While cleansing the blood
of all poisbn, it builds up the
system and relieves the suf
ferer of the nagging pains of
Rheumatism and is the one
remedy that is so useful in re
pairing the damage done by
impoverished blood.
Don't wait for your trouble
to become chronic, but begin
the use of S. S. S. today and
purge the blood of the germs
of Rheumatism."
We maintain a medical de
partment for the benefit of all
who are afflicted, and our
Chief Medical Adviser, who is
familiar with all forms of
Rheumatism, will gladly give
you advice without charge as
to the treatment of your own
case. Address Medical Direc

SAVED HER LIFE
SAYS MRS. GAINES
AFTER RECOVERY
Bedridden for WeeksBefore
Tanlac Restored HerNow
. Does Own Work.
"Yes, this Tanlac saved my life,
and my husband here will tell you
the same thing, too," said Mrs. C.
A. Gaines, -wife of a retired farmer
of Minier. 111., as she, pointed to a
bottle of Tanlac i8utliff & Case's
Drug Store, m eoria, recently.
Continuing she said : 1 '
"Why, when I started on this
medicine I had been down in bed
for weeks with nervous prostration
nd a general breakdown. For a
long time I could not eat a thing
but liquids and every day I got
weaker, and finally was so bad off
I would become unconscious and
have terrible sinking spells and
there was little hope of my recovery.
This condition had been gradually
cominsr on me for eiehteen years,
and all this time I could barely drag
myself around. I never had any
appetite to speak of and had the
worst sort of nervous headaches
nearly all the time.' My sleep was
badlv disturbed by frightful dreams
and I had terrible nightsweats near
ly every night. I could hardly do
any work and would have to stop
and lie down and rest several times
while trying to do the least bit of
housework.. I suffered with such
pains in the small of my back I
could not get up and down without -it
nearly killing me, and I would
become so dizzy I had to be very
careful to keep from falling. My
1 I 1 T .AU
siumacn was au imuiy uyacv
become dreadfully nauseated after
each meal and could rarely ever
retain a thing I ate. Now.- all this
was before I got completely down,
and I gradually went from bad to
worse until I had to take to my
bed. as I told you before.
"My husband did all he could to
find something that would help me.
but everything I tried failed to do
me a particle of good. At last
some one advised him to get some
Tanlac. He did so, and the very
first night after I began taking it
I rested better than I had in a long
while, and I continued to improve.
By the time I had finished two
bottles I could sit up in bed and
every one who saw me was aston
ished at my improved condition.
Well, I kept taking it, and you se
how well I look now. Why, I art
in perfect health and can eat thre
good, meals a dav without even a
thought of suffering afterward.
No gas or dizzv spells bother me
any more and all my other troubles
have gone completely, and I now
do all my own housework and never
have that tired feeling I had for
so many" years. A medicine that
will do what Tanlac has for me
deserves all the praise one could
give it, and I couldn't say enough
for it if I stood here and talked
forever."
Tanlac Is sold in Omaha at all
Sherman & McConnell Drug Com

and West End Pharmacy. Also For
rest and Mcany Drug Company in
