WRESTLER is A JOKE.
Frank Gotch Not Taken Seriously in
Challenge to JefTries.

Chicago, Dec. 23.-Frank Gotoh the
big Iowa wrestler who claims the
championship of the world at catch
as-catch-can style, is not taken seri-
ously in his challenge to Jim Jeffries
to fight for the boxing championship
of the world. The fact that he is one
of the strongest men in the world
and champion at the wrestling game
does not entitle him to attention from
the followers of the fighting game de-
spite the fact that Gotch puts up
rather strong argument to substanti-
ate his claims.
-Gotch says he has all the strength,
the speed and the hurry-up qualities
intends to get kid Mccoy on his
staff for the purpose of teaching him
the finer points of the game, and then
he WIT; be thoroughly equipped for
meeting with the champion. Gotch
says:

section and defeated all of my men
with ease-six or seven of them.
This showed me that have some skill

and plenty of it, and after 1 learn how

smile when such a statement is made,
but I am on the level with it. -

weight should be served in this kind
of a match. At any rate, am going

but the gong sounded for the end of
the round. When we got up for the
second round 1 hit him again and sent
him to the floor. Just then I saw
Graney look at Munroe and saw what
was coming. 1 tried hard to get him
again before Graney could stop the
fight, but Eddie was too quick for me,
and did not have the satisfact of
seeing just how hard I could hit him.
Jeff was then asked if he ever hit a
man as hard as he could. The cham
pion held uD his right arm and,
doubling his fist, replied: mo, never
did. I don't want to go to Jail. I am
afraid if ever let that fist go as hard
as I can there would be a funeral. No.
I generally gauge my blows and make
them just hard enough to make the
other fellow know he was hit"
When asked who had stopped the
hardest blow from his fist, Jeffries said
that he guessed it must have been

YALE's RULES BAR ROCKWELL
Small Chance of Electing Him Captain
| of Football Team

New Haven, Conn, Dec. 92S.-Coin-
cident. with the discussion of the
changes in football rules, the discus
sion oyer a football captain at Yale
of Rockwell has not yet been settled
officially by the FaIe committee and it
may happen that the election of a
captain will be postponed until after
January l.. Z A@.s e. '-zrs -. r.@e
It is an open secret that the football
men are strafning every point to get a
decision that will permit of Rockwell
playing another season and thereby
allow the team to elect him captain.
While this is being done the more
conservative element frankly confess
that there is no way in which the rules
can be construed so that Rockwell
can play. 49,
There is a good deal of talk over the
captaincy and some opposition to
Tom Shevlin, who is the natural
choice if Rockwell is not to be con
sidered. The objection to Shevlin is
that he is very boyish and not mature
enough for the captaincy. Those who
offer this objection have suggested
that Trip, the big guard, be elected.
This does not meet with approval be-
cause Trip has only played one year
on the Yale team and also because he
came to Yale from the University of
Chicago.
1t is urged that it is contrary to
Yale tradition to have a captain who
has not gotten all of his training at
Yale. A. r. Finn, who played full
back in part of the Princeton game
and throughout the Harvard game,
Finn is that he is not a good enough
player. In strong competition Finn
might be forced off the team next sea-
son and this would mean leaving Yale

guard returning to the Yale school

Major Gillespie's Medal of Honor
Is Adopted.

mated the Design.
CHANGE FOR OLD ONES.
To Take Place of $500 Now
Held by Heroes.
Some Objection to the New
Medal Is Made.

Fort Leavenworth, Dec. 2S.-Major
General George L. Gillespie, assistant
chief of staff. this week formally
made over his patent rights to the de-
sign for the newly adopted medal OF
honor to the government
The secretary of war has arranged
for the manufacture of 5000 of the
new medals, which it is intended shall
be exchanged for the old medals now
held by about 1880 heroes of the
American wars. The new medal will
cost in the neighborhood of So apiece
The design is the joint work of
Major General Gillespie and General
Porter. United States ambassador to
France. 1t is a five-pointed star, made
of silver, but covered with gold plate.
y green enamel wreath connects the
points of the star and in the center,
also in gold plate is the head of the
Minerva-the symbol of valor. A gold
plate bar. upon which is cast the
word 'Nalor," with a surrounding gold
plated eagle, is attached to the star.
The ribbon is of blue silk with the
thirteen stars representing the original
States
There has been some criticism of
the new design on the ground that the
medal, representing the highest award
which can be given by the United
States government in recognition of
valor, should not be an imitation. 1t is
true that the new medal is of silver,
but many officers, who hold the medal
OF honor, greatly object to the gold
plating, which, it is claimed, gives it
a cheap appearance.
1t is the intention to amend the
army regulations eventually requiring
the holders of the congressional medal
Of honor to wear their medal, which
the regulations viii specify must be of
the new design. with their full dress
uniforms. In this way it is hoped to
force an exchange of all the old de-
signs for the new.

Crysta1ized Poison!

You know that hard water leaves a de-
post of lime in the bottom of the tea-ket-
tie in which it boils, and soft water does
not This is because soft water is filtered
and contains no lime. while hard water is
not filtered and is full of it.
You can imagine that If that deposit
were to settle in the joints of your knee
II would be extremely painful And If
the deposit grew, you could finally no lon
ger endure the torture of walking.
Yet that Is the very way that Rheunna-
dsm begins and ends. Except that the
deposit which forms is not lime, but crys-
talized poison.
For your blood is always full of poison
the poison you eat and drink and breathe
blood TO absorb and carry OF this very
poison And the kidneys, which are the
blood filters, are expected TO cleanse the
blood and send IL back through the sys-
tern clean to gather more poison which,
they. in turn, viii eliminate.
But sometimes the kidneys fail. And
sometimes, from some other cause the
blood gets so full of poison that they can
not absorb il all. This is the start of
Rheuma tism. The poison accumulates and

and they increase In size. Then when IL
