TROUBLE WITH K. o. PLAYERS
Allen, Hicks, Pooler, Griggs and Rice
Nav Be Barred by Kansas.

Lawrence, Kan, Jan. S.-Prof. NJ w.
Sterling, chairman of the K. U. athletic
board, has returned from Missouri,
where he has been investigating the
cases of Allen, Hicks, Pooler, Griggs
and Rice, the Jayhawker football
men who played in the Lamar-Carth-
age game for a purse of $1,000. Mr..
Sterling has not yet prepared his re-
port for the board and is waiting for
more affidavits from Lamar and Garth
age men. The former assert that there
was no purse up, but that it was in
dividual betting, while some Carthage

Investigated and the five players, some
of the best and most promising men on
the Kansas team, Including this year $
captain, may be declared ineligible. It
is reported that Hicks, Allen and
Griggs of the basket ball team will not
be allowed to play today against
Olathe. Whatever the outcome of the
investigation may be, it is conceded
that the five players will have been
doing the school more good in Law
renee than at Carthage and they are
to be severely condemned and criticised
for playing. Mr.. Sterling said last
night:
Il cannot say definitely just what

deavor to maintain a high standard OF
clean athletics, even at the cost OF

briggs is GUILTY.
Former Congressman Convicted
Of Accepting Bride.

New York Jan 8.-After celebrating
45 minutes, a jury found former Con-
gresham Edmund H. briggs guilty OF
between a private company and the
government while serving as a member
of congress. The jury recommended
mercy.
In response Judge Thomas said the
recommendation was eminently fitting
as Mr. briggs had conducted himself
with dignity and because he undoubt-
eddy violated the statute unwitt1ngly.
Judge Thomas said he believed Mr..
briggs was guilty only in technical
sense.
After the jury had been discharged
the court denied a motion for a new
trial and reserved decision on mo-
ton for stay of proceedings pending
an appeal. Judge Thomas told the
counsel they might agree on a day Tor
sentence. He said:
81 wish 1 could inflict a sentence
without Imprisonment but can not
under the law. I shall make the SEN
tence as light as I possibly can. You,
briggs. are free to come and go as you
please"
Mr.. briggs admitted that he had
placed $50 of the cashier company
machines in various departments of the
postoffice at Washington and that he
was paid $12,500 by the company.
Mr.. briggs also admitted that he gave
money to Geo. w. Beavers, who was E

xnittee of the National Racing associa-
ton has decided to disallow Lou Dill

this was done because the mare had
previously performed in faster time,
which performance was her record, and
precluded a slower performance being
a racord.

TOMMY Ryan CONFIDENT.
Believes He VIII Be Able to Get to
Jack O'Brien.

Chicago, Jan s.-Tommy Ryan, the
worlds middleweight champion, today
announced that he will defend his title
for the last time when he meets Phila-
delphia Jack O'Brien in Philadelphia
on either January 20 or q. mo mat
ter how the fight ends, it will be the
last in which 1 will ever appear. re-
alize that my fighting days are num-
bered, and it is not my desire to hang
on and on after have outlived my
days of usefulness.
Il think, though, that there is one
good. hard fight left in me, and that
will give O'Brien the hardest battle
he has ever been in. AS there are no
decisions rendered in Philadelphia, it
will be necessary for Jack to win the
championship. This 1 am positive he
cannot do. On the other hand, I feel
confident that, no matter how cleverly
he may guard himself, I will be able
to get to him with a sleep producer.
IF succeed in beating O'Brien ]
shall give my title to some other young
fellow, probably to Hugo Kelly, the
Chicago boy. who fought a draw with
O'Brien last week, and at that got the
worst of the decision"
Ryan declared that he would post
$500 today to guarantee his appearance
in the ring.

Chicago, Jan. 8.-Teddy Murphy,
manager of Eddie Santry, the west side
featherweight, claims that his man has
the best right to meet Ben Jordan, the
English champion, when the latter
comes to this country. Murphy's con-
tention is that as Santry is about the
only man that ever knocked Jordan out
and is showing his oldtime form at
present he and no one else is entitled to
meet the Englishman. americans have
gone to England cunning for Jordan's
scalp Murphy says. but he beat them

York in clean style and if anyone is
worthy of meeting him in his first trial
it is Santry'

sBrother Joe" May Be Induced to
Remain With Los Angeles.

San Francisco, Jan. 8.--Joe Corbett
may be playing with Los Angeles again
this summer. There is more than an
even chance that the star pitcher will
not sign the unusually liberal St Louis
contract he still has in his pocket. Los
Angeles does not intend to resign Cor
bett without effort to coax him to re-
main, and effort has been made in the
shape of a generous increase of salary
# Joe will only sign his name to a
Los Angeles contract.
Before Manager Morley, who has been
attending the annual league meeting,
returned home yesterday he had long
talk with Joe Corbett and finally made
his star player an offer of larger sal
airy, saying it was as far as he could
afford to go in competition with
DeHaas Robson of St. Louis. Corbett
admits he would sooner play with Los
Angeles and as good as says he is will
ing to play for less than he is offered
by the worlds fair city magnate- But
less in this case is something impress
sive, for it is conservatively estimated
that the offer from across the noun
tains is pretty near double the best
Los Angeles can do.

MAKE PEACE WITH
YOUR STOMACH.
You Are Certain to Lose if You At
tempt the Use of Force and Violence.

You cannot force your stomach to do
work that it is unable and unwilling to
do. It has been tried time and time
again with always the same result. The
stomach is a good and faithful servant;
but when pushed beyond the limit it
rebels. Some stomachs will stand much
more abuse than others, but every ston-
ach has it's limit; and when that limit
is reached it is a very dangerous and
unwise proceeding to attempt to force
it into doing further work. The sens1-
BILE and reasonable course is to employ
a substitute to carry on the work OF
digestion and give the stomach an OPP
Dortunity to recuperate and regain its
lost strength
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the
only perfect substitute to take up and
carry on the work of. tired, wornout
stomachs. They are natural and easy
in their work and cause no d1Stur Dance
in the digestive organs. They contain
all of the essential elements that make
up the gastric juice and other digestive
fluids and will digest any food that a
strong healthy stomach will, and do 1t
/ in the same time and in the same way.
They work Independently OF surround

stomach is weak or diseased does not

HERRERA's HAND GONE.
Report Has It That Mexican's Right
Is in Bad Condition.

Chicago Jan S-A damper is put on

the report that comes from the cream
city that Herrera's right hand, his chief
stock in trade, is badly broken and that
he will not be able to punch much with
if when he meets Charley Neary before

when he passed through the city on his
way to Milwaukee to train for the con-
test that his hand was in poor shape,
but he hoped to patch it up well enough
SO that it will carry hin through with
Neary.
Considerable interest is being shown
locally in the meeting. Herrera's swift
defeats of Tommy Howatt and kid

experienced Neary, but the latter seems
