The Worst Form

Multitudes are singing the praises Of
Kodol, the new discovery which is
making so many sick people well and
weak people strong by digestsng what
they eat. by cleansing and sweetening
the stomach. and by transforming the
food into the kind of pure, rich, red
blood that makes you feel good all
over. Mrs. Trantil, of Troy, Indian
Territory, writes: "For number of
years | was troubled with indigestion
and dyspepsia, which grew into the
worst form. Finally | was induced to
use Kodul and after using four bottles
I am entirely cured. | heartily recon-
mend Kodol to all sufferers from indi-
gestion and dyspepsia ,; Take a dose
after meals. 1t digests what you eat.

AMATEUR ATHLETIC
UNION In EARNEST.
COLLEGE, TEAMS SUSPENDED.
Yale and Columbia Basketball Play
ers Guilty of Breaking Rules
-Pennsylvania Ignores
Debarmcnt of Its
Men.

| Following the example of the University
! Of Pennsylvania. the basketball teams OF
| Yale and Columbia have incurred the dis
| pleasure of the Amateur Athletic Union
registration committee, and in conse-
quence have been suspended.
The offence for which the players have
been put under the ban is the same as
that for which the Red and Blue players
suffered-the playing against unregistered
teams.
All players and teams will have to be
reinstated should they care to further
participate in any line of amateur sport
promoted by the A. A. U. The latter is
decidedly In earnest, and will take such
a stand that all athletes in whatever line
must see the necessity of strictly obey
ing the rules.
Pennsylvanin Ignores Suspension.
At a meeting of the faculty athletic
committee of the University OF f.ennsyl-
vania, held yesterday afternoon in Phila-
delphia, the ruling of the secretary Of the
Amateur Athletic Union in regard to the
suspension of the varsity basketball team,
debarring it from playing registered teams.
was completely ignored.
The ruling was made when a team of
the members of the Houston Club went
to Newark. N. j., during Christmas vaca-
tion and played team which was not
registered. They denied that they repre-
sented the University of Pennsylvania,
and had announcement made to that ef-
feet before the game was played.
The faculty committee censured the
team for not submitting its schedule be-
fore playing, but told II 20 complete 1t
and go ahead with practice.
Yale may play Penn; IL so, the game
will be played in Philadelphia the last Of
February or the first Of March.

age the New YOrks.
BROOKLYN, n. Y. Jan. I1.-There
seems to be considerable mystery about
the source whence came the report that
Freedman had secured the services Of
Hanlon to manage the New York National
League team. President Ebbets, of the
Brooklyns, has been considerably annoyed
by the report and promptly denied it,,
stating that 1t was his opinion that the
story was sent out by Freedman.
He expresses himself about the matter
in the following unmistakable terms:
Manager Hanlon will remain with the
withstanding all reports to the contrary
emanating from Andrew Freedman or
others. The club has a contract with
Hanlon and his services have been emf
nently satisfactory to the controlling Of
f1cials of the Brooklyn Baseball Club, of
the National League. wish to
make this statement just as positive as
possible, and will say that the Brooklyn
officials will not release Mr.. Hanlon from
his contract with the organization II he
should desire TO go to the New York Base
ball Club. which l am sure he does not
wish to do"
In this connection Hanlon has stated
fiatfootedly that he has no contract with
Freedman, and never intended to make
one until he was at liberty to do so
through a release from the Brooklyn
club,

Julian. Bob Fitzsimmons' brother law,
and former manager, is here, and is in
conference with Billy Delaney and James

The sporting fraternity of this vicinity

managers are planning to get the cham

match. This is, however, denied by both
Julian and Delaney.
Julian said today: It am hardly on

here to get Jeffries to consent to fight
before Philadelphia Club, of which l
am matchmaker. in about three weeks"
Delaney said, in speaking OF the in

clined Julian's offer. He says that he
will meet nobody, not even in exhibitions,
before his match with Sharkey in San
Francisco early in April
Jeffries said: Il think that Sharkey is
the hardest one TO beat in the business,

CORNELL OBJECTS TO HARLEM
Prefers to Row "SecOnd" Varsity
Race on the SchuylkilI.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. n.-For a time
last week it looked as If the Cornell and
Pennsylvania crews might agreee to take
stand against rowing the second
varsity race on the Harlem river. which
favors the Columbia crew.
Both regard the course as unsuited be-
cause of the tides and the great traffic.
Both prefer the famous national Schuyl-
kill course and Pennsy would favor this
or Lake Cayuga. But. on account of the
agreement with Columbia, Coach Ward
thinks it would be unfair to row on any
other course than the Harlem. as 1t is
now Columbia S turn, as originally agreed
upon, to name the course. This agree
ment provides for race every third year
at Philadelphia, Ithaca, and New York.
This decision of Wards and the fact
that Harvard has been invited to row
with the crews in the May race will make
the reason all the stronger why the orig
inal plan should be adhered to. Column
bia and Harvard would undoubtedly OBJ
ject to favoring Cornell, and the race
will be rowed on the Harlem, where the
majority wants 1t, whatever the several
objections to it may be.

basketball department of the Yale Athlet-

committee, with a view to renewing the
agreement to play series of basketball

1899.
The games between the two teams were
decidedly interesting and profitable. and
as Pennsy has heretofore expressed a
Willingness to renew the agreement, an
early settlement OF the matter and the ar
rangement Of a series of games may be
expected. The last games played by these
teams resulted In an easy victory for
