Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due to
anemic nerve centers. The nerve
centers are the reservoirs of nervous
vitality. These centers become blood
less for want of proper nutrition.
This is especially true in the spring
season. Every spring a host of invalids
are produced as the direct result of
weak nerves.

A NEW PLAY BY
A SOCIETY WOMAN.

A New York society play is in prepa-
ration by David Belasco. the authoress
being Miss Norma Leslie Munro, the
New York society woman who has writ
ten considerably for the magazines and
who formerly owned and edited paper
called the Impressionist. She has been
under contract to Mr.. Belasco since
May, but the fact did not become
known until recently.
When asked for details Mr.. BelascO
would give no further Information than
that Miss Munro under his guidance
was constructing a drama Of New York
society life. Il believe Miss Munro's
play win prove powerful and daringly
original" said Mr.. BelascO. THE chief
incidents of its story are taken from
actual life. She related them to me at
the time of our hrst interview, last
May. and asked If I did not think they
would be the making OF a play. The
idea struck me so forcibly that I asked
Miss Munro why she herself would not
undertake it. I knew that as writer
her work possesses a quality essential
in play writing, vigorous and direct ex-
preston. think the idea and story OF
her play viii be a sensational surprise.
It is. so far as know, absolutely origt-
nal not only in It's episodes and charac-
1 tiers, but in the manner Of It's telling"
Miss Munro said she was very happy
to work under the direction Of Mr.. Be
Iasco. He is a master among drama
] tists-that every one must admit-and
if my new play succeeds in pleasing him
shall feel very, very proud. Yes, this
is my first play, although have written
| a good deal for various publications,
sometimes under my own name, but
frequently under a nom de plume"
Miss Munro Is the daughter Of the
late Norman Leslie Munro who was a
publisher. and is a cousin Of Mrs. Leslie

her degree at the New York Law school

Mention of the name of Charles
(Kid) Nichols brings to mind several
remarkable features OF his career. He
has pitched in major league company
continuously for more than fifteen
years. The ten year limit of effective
service has had no meaning as applied
to his case. It is claimed by veteran
critics that when with the Boston Ma
tionals Nichols was instrumental in
actually capturing no less than four
pennants for the bean burg IN all, he
has pitched on eight pennant winning
major league teams-an unprecedented
record.

THE LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION

With the customary confusion that
follows a fight of distinction, a cham
pionship has already been attributed to
Battling Nelson. AS a matter of abso-
lutte fact. Nelson is entitled to no cham
pfonship for winning from Jimmy
Britt Britt himself was no cham
pion, although he has been considered
so informally by some because of his
splendid battle with Joe Cans.
The process of reasoning by which
Nelson is made a champion is twofold.
The first, already stated. is that when
Cans made 1873 pounds for Britt in
battle not so very long since although
Britt lost on foul he was credited
with being much the better of the pair.
and Nelson beat Britt. Second, that
as Joe Cans can no longer make better
than 1S5 pounds he is not entitled to
be considered a lightweight or % main
tain a hold on the championship, which
he won from former Champion Frank
F5rne with a blow on the point OF the
law after one round of conflict.
For the first argument it may be
stated that Cans is generally considered
as having done something which pre-
vented his best showing. Furthermore
is still technically champion, for, after
all. he got the decision and bets We're
paid of on the referees verdict, as was
the stake dependent on the result.
Now. who ever made the law that 1913
hounds is to be the limit of Iightweights
or 1872 pounds for featherweights?
The first Of the modern lightweights

0ueensberry rules as well as London.
was Jack McAuliffe, who fought at
weights ranging from 1913 ringside to
1913 at 8 D. m. When he became con-
WINGED his fighting days were over he
laid down the scepter and permitted
George Lavigne to wear the iaurels
Lavigne, when he took up the task OF
defending the lightweight champion
ship. was a genuine 1873 pound man, but
he soon grew out of the weight and
pushed up the scale to suit his increas-
ing avoirdupois.
Finally he was challenged by Frank
Erne to fight for the title, and the pair
met at Buffalo In a bout that went the
limit of twenty round Erne winning
on points The men weighed in at 8
p. m. at 1875 pounds.
Therefore if there is but one weight
for a championship bout, and that 1873
pounds ringside, Erne never won the
title, and Cans never won the title from
Erne as they fought at 1876 pounds at
II p. m.
When Lavigne went over to London
and fought Dick Burge for the worlds

A usefuI Interferer.

The fullback is a great aid to the
halfbacks when the latter are carry
ing the BAH. If the left half goes
around right the fullback's duty is to
precede the runner and block of one
or two opponents. He does the same
on a tackle play and repeats the same
tactics when the right half attacks
through the left wing. On center
plunges by the halfbacxs the fullback
pushes the runner through from the
rear. FREDERICK r. TOOMBS.
