Bernstein, in the third round, landed B right
swing which opened the Denver boys left eye,
and throughout the battle the claret flowed free
~ from the wound. -
After five rounds of sparring the champion
went after Bernstein and succession of rushes
followed. He found that the New Yorker gave
as good as he received and showed no inclination
to- shirk. At the end of the seventh round
Bernstein called Referee Joe Pollock Of New York
to his corner and showed him that small bone
in his left hand was broken and Bernstein 8
second then threw up the sponge.
One Of the best sparrlng contests ever wit
messed in Philadelphia took place last night at
tile Pennsylvania club between Marvin Hart OF
Louisville and Kid Garter of Brooklyn.
These two men were in fine form for six
rounds, and they were at 1t hammer and tongs
Although under the law no decisions are permit

in declaring the bout q draw. D..
In the first Of the bouts forming the second

Haley and Kid Abel opened the hostilities and
after eight fast rounds Referee Siler gave the
decision in favor of Haley. Harry Forbes and
Chick Sullivan were to have fought eight rounds

MICHIGAN TEAM IMPROVING.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Oct. 1.-THE University Of
Michigan football prospects look more favorable
than at any time since carly in the season.
Sweeley has made up his school work and is ell
gible Redden and Heston have recovered from
their injuries and more with the team.
Captain Weeks. Baker and McGugen are suffer-
ing from slight strains, but are able to be In
the practice.
The probable personnel Of the team has been
determined with the exception of left tackle.
This place is being contested by Baker, Palmer
and Cole. 1t now looks as though Lawrence
will remain at fullback and Sweeley will go In
at right end, do the punting and play IN the
back field defense. .....
Wednesday was the first open practice since
Case scored on the team. This was Sweeley's
first night out, and Coach Yost spent much time
which place he occupied in the Beloit. Iowa and
Stanford games Of last year. sWeeley spent
about thirty minutes punting and fully came
up to his previous form, averaging sixty yards.
The varsity, when given the ball, rushed the
second team up and down the field Then the
second team was given the ball on the varsity g
twenty yard line. No account OF downs was
made, but after fifteen minutes OF play me
ball was till on the twenty-yard line. Yost
Is giving much time to his defense, as he realizes
that this will be put to the severest kind OF
test in the game with Wisconsin Nov. 1.
The physical condition Of the Michigan eleven
is thought by many to be not quite up TO the
form of a year ago. but II no accidents occur IN
the Notre Dame game Saturday, Yost's hurry
up methods will give it sufficient endurance be-
fore the Wisconsin game. The probable line up
for the Notre Dame game at Toledo Saturday
will be: Left end, Redden; left tackle, Palmer
Cole or Baker; left guard, McGugen; center,
Gregory; right guard, Carter; right tackle Mao.
dock; right end Swee1ey; quarter, Weeks; lett
half, Heston; right half Hernstein; fullback'
Lawrence.
Michigan should win decisively from Notre
Dame ut Toledo. whether or not Notre Danes
hospital stories are true.

FRIDAY EVENING,

Is that between Chicago and Northwestern. The
maroons are rated much higher in popular opinion
now than they were at any time since their
game with Purdue. If they defeat the purple
eleven, they will be directly in line for cham
pionship honors. Stage Is now credited by
most critics with having developed strong
team out Of bunch Of raw material. ana tnere
Is A pretty rood chance that the maroons will
hold their own against the badgers and the
wolverines. -
Wisconsin and Michigan play Beloit and Notre
Dame, respectively, and neither of these games
will give a line on the strength of the champion
ship favorites. In the east, Harvard will prob
ably get a good try out In her game with the
West Point team, which generally Is one OF the

FREE TO EVERYONE.
"A Priceless Book Sent Free for the Ask
IND.

ing.
"rhere be books and books;" some edi-
flying, others entertaining, and still others
Instructive. The average man Is so busily
engaged in the labor Of money making
that he has little time and less inclination
for books which instruct; hence when he
feels out of sorts, either he gives no heed
to Natures warning, or he consults a
physician, at an expense which a little
knowledge would have enabled him to
avoid. There Is probably no complaint
upon which the public IS SO little informed,
as hemorrhoids, or piles; this little book
tells all about their nature, cause and
cure; it treats of the different forms Of
blind, bleeding, itching and protruding
piles, describes their symptoms, and points
the way to cure so simple and 1nexpen-
sive, that anyone can understand and
apply. The Importance of promptness and
thoroughness Is vital, for the disease will
not cure itself, and Nature, alone, unaided,
will not accomplish a cure, While the con-
sequences are too painful for detailed de-
scription. You are told how piles origin
ate, the reason for their appearance usu-
ally being that some Of the rules Of correct
living have been violated, and (what is
more to the point) how you may rid your
self Of this bane Of human existence. AL
affections Of the rectum are treated ir
simple plain language, so that all may un-
derstand, and learn how the cause may be
removed. Many people suffer from piles
because after trying the numerous lotions
ointments and salves that are on the mar.
ket without relief they come to the con.
clusion that a surgical operation Is the
pnly thing left to try, and rather than sub.
NIT to the shock and risk to life Of az
operation, prefer to suffer on. This little
book tells how this may be avoided, and 6
cure be effected without pain, inconven
fence or detention from business. Writ,
your name and address plainly on posta
card, mail to the Pyramid Drug Co., Mar
lshall Mich. and you will receive tn
book by Ieturp mail.

CHICAGO TEAM STRONG
Maroons Will Be Factor in the
Western Championship, Says
a Local Rooter. s5..

A local rooter who witnessed the Chi
cago-Purdue game III Chicago last Sat-
urday, says the maroons have shown q
wonderful reversal Of form since last
year. and are entitled to be classed in the
first rank this season. 49,
Chicago has lot Of real football play
ers on her team said the Minneapolis
man. ''Their lnemen charge hard and
low, and they fairly swept Purdue off her
feet. Possibly their play seemed better
than it was because the game was SO I'M
even, and because little had been ex-
pected from Chicago. Still it must be adj
mitted that they played football all the
time. Their play showed lots Of speed
and ginger, and several of their men are
really high class.
"sheldon, while not a line plunger, made
good gains through the line. He picks
his holes neatly and is very fast and
shifty. Bezdek, the other half back, is a
good man, and Ellsworth, the full back,
plays a good game. speik is one of the
best ends in the west.
II have not seen Wisconsin or Michi-
gan play this season. and do not know
whether Chicago would class with them,
but believe the naroons are in the same
class with Minnesota and Illinois, and
that they will be an important factor in
the western championship.

poor condition that all hope OF getting him into

While Van Ryper may be counted out OF the

NebraSkaS football squad, twenty live
strong, arrived in Minneapolis this morn
ing, and is at the West hotel. Nineteen
of the bunch are players, the rest coaches,
trainers. etc.
The cornhusker team looked very TIT.
Most Of the men are beefy, although Bell
and Bender, the half backs, are small
men, while Benedict although tall, is not
heavy. Coach Booth admitted that his
men were in fine physical condition, but
declined to express any opinion in re-
gard to their prowess as football players.
The squad includes besides Coaches
Booth, Palmer and Drain, Trainer Jack
Best, Manager G. w. Engel, and DR.. May
new and the following players: Cortelyou,
Shedd, Benedict, Nickel, Cotton, Mason,
Ringer, Westover, Borg, Bell, Bender
Thorp, Tobin, Wilson, Briggs, Follmer,
Melick, Englehart and Eazen. The first
eleven players named will comprise the
Nebraska eleven at the beginning Of the
game on Northrop Field tomorrow after
noon.
Coach Booth displayed his usual reti-
cence in regard to his team. Our men
are In good physical condition" he said,
land we have had a comparatively easy
time in all our games up to date, but you
cannot say that our eleven has been tried
out It Is pretty nearly as much of an
unknown quantity to the coaches as it is
TO the Minnesota men. The boys will
work hard tomorrow, and 1 think they
will give you a close rub, but I do not
think the game Is a foregone conclusion
Pretty near an even chance for each team,
i should say"
Palmer and Drain were quite as COM
municative as Booth. The Minnesota
rooters who were in the West hotel lobby
this morning were considerably impressed
with the size and apparent good condition
of the Nebraska men. The visitors were
given a free hand this morning. They
were excused from any work by the
coaches, and told to put in their time as
they saw fit.
Contrary to expectations, not more thar
@ dozen rooters accompanied the Nebraska
team, the excursion from Lincoln having
been abandoned on account of the high
rates.
The gophers are now at Minnetonka
keeping clear Of the noise and excite
ment which always precedes big game

taken out to the Ice Yacht club house
The men do not expect to take hare
work to-day but DR.. Williams will spent

MARooNs EXPECT A VICTORY.

Chicago, Oct 1.-THE maroons trotted of Of
Marshall field last night after darkness had
enveloped the field, and gave vent to ringing
shouts and yells on their way to the gymna sum-
The practice was one OF the best held this
week. The cool, invigorating weather OF the
afternoon put new life into the limbs OF CHI
cagos stalwarts and the plays were run on
more smoothly than the day before.
"We had good practice to-day said Stage
on his way home after the practice. 1T was
very satisfactory, considering the work OF the
week up to date. This kind Of work always slim
ulates team to do its best.'
The chief feature Of the practice yesterday was
the scrimmage between the scrubs and the regu-
lars. The scrubs used several purple plays which
the Evanston boys have used in years gone
by, and were told by the coaches to do their
best.
| 1t took the scrubs at least fifteen minutes to
| nuke twenty yards against the first eleven.
The Chicago eleven is in much better shape
| than a big college eleven usually finds itself.
Catlln Is the only who ia disabled 50 that
his presence in the game is doubtful. Perkine
Is the other maroon who ls suffering from slight
Injury, but this will not prevent him from
playing, nor will it hinder his work to any
| appreciable extent The linemen are In the
pink Of condition. The backs. too, are feeling
their oats, and should be able to stand good
| deal Of work.
