fourth of what many of the battles
had been.
But the people want their returns
fast and furious when they come,
and the six round battle was just
the thing for this.
But the shortening of the battles
increased the chances for dirty
work. The referee could decide in
many instances the way there was
the most money for him.
Too many bad decisions put the
sport on the bum in Chicago a cou.
pie of times, and you know how
often the bets have been called off
by referees because the fighters APP,
peared to be running things to suit
themselves.
Philadelphia took a step to pre-,
vent the crooked work and elimin
ate the betting. An ordinance was
passed prohibiting a decision, and
the result was thereby taken out OF
the hands Of the referee.
The result Is that the game has
continued to flourish in Philadel
| phia. And the fans have learned
to like the short. fast fights better
than the long battles.
| No better illustration of this Is
found than the last battle in which
McGovern figured He and Nelson
drew $4,000 for their six rounds
In sport it is like in everything
else: the people want a run for
their money and they want it with
out any delay.

Weak Kidneys

1t Is of but little use to try to doc.
tor the kidneys themselves. Such
treatment is wrong. For the kid
neys are not usually to blame for
their weakness or Irregularities.
They have no power-no self-con-
troll. They are operated and actu-
ated by a tiny shred of nerve
which is largely responsible for
their condition. If the kidney
nerve is strong and healthy, the
kidneys are strong and healthy. IL
the kidney nerve goes wrong. you
know it by the inevitable result
kidney trouble.
This tender nerve is only one Of
great system of nerves. This sys-
TEN controls not only the kidneys,
but the heart, and the liver, and
the stomach. For simplicity's sake
DR.. Shoop has called this great
nerve system the Inside Nerves"
They are not the nerves of feeling
not the nerves that enable you to
walk, to talk, to act, to think. They
are the master nerves and every
vital organ is their slave. The COM
mon name for these nerves Is the
Sympathetic nerves" - because
each set Is in such close sympathy
with the others. that weakness any
where usually results in weakness
everywhere.
The one remedy which aims to
treat not the Kidneys themselves,
but the nerves which are to blame,
Is known by physicians and drug
gists everywhere as DR.. Shops Re.
Btorative (Tablets or Liquid. This
remedy Is not symptom remedy
II is strictly a cause remedy While
1t usually brings speedy relief, its
effects are also lasting.

The age Of the long fight is pass
ing away. When I was beginning
my career anything short Of a
finish fight was little advertised
and the sports as rule would not
patronize the event.
Gradually the ring following be,
gan to see and know that in a long
drawn-out battle there was not as
much real fighting as there was in
a limited one. First it was %
rounds. Then 20 rounds were set
as the limit, and still the crowds
turned out in great numbers to see
the battles.
But even in the 20 round battles
there was more or less waiting on
the part of the fighters who were
saving themselves for the final
burst of speed at the finish.
Usually the last two or four
rounds of the 20 round battles
fought in the past five years have
been faster and more interesting
than the first 10 rounds.
Then Chicago introduced the six.
round contest, and Philadelphia did
the same thing. and stu the PEG.
pie poured into the big halls to see
the fights that were limited to a
