one OF the football teams, composed
of young boys, has been annoying the
residents OF West Main street, between
Fourth and Fifth streets, every night for
the past week or ten days The boys
practice for their coming football games,
and they get out in the street under
the big arc light in the central part of
the square and make the evening hideous
for the people living in that neighbor-
hood. The people there would not OBJ
ject to the boys taking the street one
or two evening for practice football
games, but they do certainly object TO
the continued use of that part of the
street for their noisy demonstrations.
The boys should get nice place in one
i their back yards or else go out in
the country, where their center PUSHES,
tackles, goal runs, grand stand plays
and the necessary attendant howlings,
eheerings, roarings, Rawlings and signal
tngs would not disturb the quietude and
peace of the resident portion of the city.

Miner Jack AIunroe has had the mat
ter of a fight with Jeffries put to him
so straight that he had to accept or
dodge, and he has lodged. 4 direct
offer from the Century Athletic club
OF Los Angeles for a fight Oct. 16 has
been answered by request for post
ponement to January. Since Jeffries
whipped Corbett Munroe has been
claiming the right TO a fight. Now he
claims the right not to fight until he
gets ready. He thinks it will take more
than four months for him to get into
trim. although he gave the impression
from his challenges that he was ready
to fight at the drop of the hat.

George II. Collett. the professional BIZ
cycle racer. returned from France re-
Gently and has been astonishing the
patrons of cycle racing by riding in bet
ter form than ever before. FOrty-eight
hours after landing here he finished
third to Mcfarland and Fem in a
bruising ten mile contest where the
pace was so fast that only Il small pro-
portion of the riders finished.
Since then he has been in the money
a couple of times, and when he gets
into the game" again he should prove a
thorn in the side of the top notchers in
their search for prize money.
According to Collett, the racing game
abroad is in a very flourishing condi-
ton. There are about twenty-five first
class men there to our four or five, and
a couple of hundred second class men
there as against our field of about
thirty.

THE WRONG DIAGNOSIS.
Prompts the Use of worthless Remedie

Even an experienced physician will
sometimes make mistake in diagno-
sis, in which event his entire treat
ment is wasted and may even be in
furious to the patient.
The advocates Of all other hair
restoratives save Herpicide have
wrongly diagnosed the cause of dam
druff and falling hair.
They figure on a functional disease,
whereas it is now known and gener
ally accepted that hair loss is due to
a parasitic germ which Newbro's
Herpicide destroys.
There is no substitute for Herpi-
eide; accept none.

of being the only man In the world
who has run 100 yards in 3-5 seconds,
is now back from Europe. Duffy has
been abroad little over three months,
and during that time he has succeeded
in capturing a trunkful of trophies. In
fact, he has been more successful on
this trip to England than on any of his
previous trips, and he has visited the
home of King Edward three times. He
won the English championship easily
in 10 seconds and lowered the record at
several championship meetings.
