Mr.. J. W. Turner, of Truhart, Va,
saws that Chamberlain Stomach and
Liver Tablets have done him more good
than anything he could get from the

was able to compound medicine that
would produce such gratifying results

or constipation, bis whole time would
be used in preparing this one medicine.

FAIR RACKET WIELDERS
ORGANIZE ONCE AGAIN
Devotees of Golden Gate Park Courts
Elect New Officers and Plan
Many Tournaments

About twenty fair enthusiasts met
yesterday and reorganized the Ladies'
Annex to the Golden Gate Tennis
Club. This club at one time had a
large membership list, but has lacked
a leader for some time. Mrs. L. c.
Bozarth, the former president, gave up
the game about a year ago and since
then the fair racket wielders have held
very few tournaments. The young Ia
dies have at no time lost interest in
the game and are anxious to appear
again in tournament play.
The following officers were elected:
President, Miss Dorothy Weed; wee
president, Miss Vera Crocker; secre-
tary, Miss Wooster; treasurer, Miss
Ida Mearns; assistant treasurer, Miss
B. Gully.
All of the new officers are active
players and they will do all in their
power to make the club what 1t was
when Mrs. Bozarth presided.
Most of the old players at the park
have given UP the game. but there
are many new players who will un-
doubtedly develop into experts. The
lady players on this side of the bay
greatly outnumber those from Ala
media County, but the latter have al
ways carried off the honors. Many
tournaments will be held so that play
ers may be developed who can at least
make showing against the out-of-
town experts.
Heretofore the ladies have received
neither moral nor financial support
from the members Of the Golden Gate
Club and some attribute their poor
showing to this. The club will do all
In its power to help the ladies out in
future.

ANCIENT CODE OF LAWS
REGULATING PHYSICUANc
Severe Penalties Prescribed for Mol
practice by Hammurabi
225O Il. G.

About 2250 B. c., Hammurabi King
of Babylonia, established certain laws
which he embodied into a code in
scribed upon stone stelae and set I'M in
the principal cities Of the domain. We
are rather inclined to look upon medi-
cal legislation as somewhat modern.
that Is because we do not know anv
better. In Hammurabis time medicine
was specialized, surgery was a distinc+
branch OF the science, quacks and pre-
tenders were known and legislated
against. From advance sheets NJ a
translation Of these laws bv Profassor
Harper, president Of the University of
Chicago, we read: "If a physician on
crates on a man (please note that the
physician did not operate a case in
Hammurabi's time) for a severe wound
with bronze lancet and saves the
mans life, or If he opens an abscess
Tin the eye) or man with a bronze
lancet, and saves that mans eve. he
shall receive ten shekels of silver (as
his fee)." But, under the same cir
cumstances, IL he causes the mans
death, or destroys the mans eve. "thev
shall cut off his fingers" That would
tend to discourage unsbilIed operators
and experimental operations. In 1908
the Royal College Of Surgeons was au-
thorized by charter to examine those
who would practice medicine and
physic and to issue license to those WIN
were found qualified. This would not
have been done had it not been found
necessary, nor would Hammurabi. 4154
years ago, have had need to discourage
quacks had they not existed. Yet. in
this year of grace, 1904, there come
those who practice medicine and
physic, and they stand before the high
est court in the State, In the persons of
their attorneys, and say they prefer to
have no law governing the practice of
medicine. This is indeed a progressive
age, when educated men will strive to
put the commonwealth back of the
time Of Babylonia; to make us lose
what has been gained in 4154 years.

UNCANNY PLAY
MOVES HANLON
Eddie Strives to Dodge Mr..
Hyde and Runs AfOul of a
Banister Post in Dark
EASES UP IN HIS WORK
Hot Weather Hits LarkSpur
and Battling Nelson Lets
His Trainers Have a Rest

Eddie Hanlon experienced an attack
of the "creeps" while making his way
in the dark to his room in Croll's Hotel
Tuesday night, but the tremors were
not due to any thought that the little
boxer might have given to Battling
Nelson, his next opponent.
Hanlon, in company with Trainer
Frank Mcdonald and several of his
sparring mates, attended Ye Liberty
Theater in Oakland and witnessed a
presentation of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr..
Hyde" Eddie became absorbed in the
uncanny transformations of the brutal
and demoniacal Hyde and upon reach
ing the stairway leading to his lodg
ings in CrolTs Hotel began to 'see
things" There was one thing Eddie
did not see in the gloom and that was
the banister post, which he struck
foul. Toby Irwin, who was right be-
hind Hanlon. struck a match. when Ed
die remarked, well. Toby, I'm not
afraid of Nelson, but that fellow Hyde
has got me going There are so many
of him."
Warm weather prevailed in Alameda
yesterday and Hanlon did not work as
much as usual He walked six miles
with Irwin in the morning and in the
afternoon boxed two rounds with Fred
Landers and two rounds with Irwin.
He also swatted the bag twenty one
minutes and manipulated the wrist ma
chine.
That Hanlon has gained in speed
since visiting the Eastern States and
trying conclusions with the boxers
there is the general opinion of those
who have seen him preparing for his
next fight.
The weather was extremely warm at
Larkspur yesterday and Battling Mel
son took things easy. He was up bright
and early, but only logged five miles.
In the afternoon he did a few gym
stunts and boxed four fast rounds with
Frank Renhouse. Battling had Frank
going, and at any time during the
short engagement would have easily
knocked him out.
Nelson finished the days work by
breaking the rope of the punching bag
and sending 1t flying the length of the
gym, over the spectators heads. He
was weighed late in the afternoon
and tipped the scales at barely 131
pounds.
Frank Murphy says Nelson will en-
ter the arena weighing about 129
Tuesday afternoon the boys of the
camp sent the following message to
Dave Barry: Keep your chin down.
Advice from the boys"
Late last night Smiling Metzner re-
ceived an answer, which read: Held
chin down; won in seven rounds Sign

STANDING OF THE CLUBS.
(Pacific Coast LeasueD

Parke Wilson steered his Seattle
charges to the Eighth street lot yester-
day afternoon prepared to give Lob
mans tobogganers a beating that
would make the fans UP north cheer
for the home team. Wilson had visions
OF Mike Fisher weeping in despair over
the loss of the rag and other nice things
that smokers are wont to behold
And the blissful spell lasted till the
eighth, when Oakland hammered in one
more run-just enough with which to
win the battle. Score-Oakland 3, Seat
tie 4.
Oakland made One Of the gamest and
best uphill fights seen on the lot this
year. With the score to against
them in the fifth, the Commuters grad
ually got Jerry to Mr.. Hall and kept
easing runs in till the score was finally
a tie. Nor did they stop there. In the
eighth they made the one which count
ed most and put the Siwashes out OF
the going, for a day at least.
Seattle opened up with that rush that
is characteristic of a roughhouse ball
team. After Van Haltren was down
Mohler and Delehanty walloped the
ball to right field. Frisk shot a liner
to Schlafley, who returned the /, ball to
the plate in a twinkling. 1t looked as
though the runner was out, but the
umpire said nay, 80 Seattle was one to
the good for a starter.
The fans thought the game was
broken UP for fair in the fifth, when
Wilson beat a bunt and Hall rested
safely on Buchanan's error, Van Halt
ren's sacrifice advanced both and Moh-
lers single scored them. Then Dele
hanty swung through to center with a
long two-bagger and Mohler arrived,
making 1t to o.
Oakland got busy in the same round.
A base on balls, hit and couple of
infield outs gave the Commuters two
to start with. They quit then till the
sixth, when another one was pulled off
by Dunleavy's daring work on the bags.
He hit safely and Schlafley lined the
ball at Hall. The latter threw to Moh-
Ter, who dropped the sphere. Dunleavy
overran the bag, and as he tried to get
back again Mohler made stab to
touch him. Then Dun rushed for third.
and Schlafley, who had nearly reached
second, started back again for first.

field in an endeavor to run Dunleavy
down. But the nervy one managed to
escape them all, and was safe at third
when the visitors turned their attention
to getting Schlahey. But he, too, was
a slippery one, and while the whole
bunch was running him down Dunleavy
started for the plate and reached 1t in
safety before the ball, Schlafiey going
to second.
That made the score to in Oak
lands favor During the next round
Buchanan brought Byrnes in from sec
ond and made it a deadlock by lining
the ball to left field for two bags.
Schlafiey responded to left for a double
shot in the eighth. and Brick Devereaux
scored him with the winning run with
a drive over Mohler's head. The score:

The United States is going about the

It is tradition that the price paid by

went home. The only Tiger hit came
in the second inning and Lynch made
