That's what a prominent
druggist said of SCOTS
Emulsion a S h ort time
ago. As a rule we don't
use or refer to testimonials
in addressing the public,
but the above remark and
similar expressions are
made so often in connec-
ton with SCOTS Emulsion
that they are worthy Of
occasional note. From
infancy to old age SCOTS
Emulsion offers a reliable
means of remedying i'm
proper and weak develop
ment, restoring lost flesh
and vitality, and repairing
waste. The action of
SCOTS Emulsion is no
more of a secret than the
composition of the Emul-
sion itself. What it does
it does through nourish-
ment-the kind of nourish-
ment that cannot be OBJ
taincd in ordinary food.
No system is too weak or
delicate to retain SCOTS

MIKE TWIN" SULLIVAN.

Prominent among the many chal- Ienges of Champion Joe Cans is Mike C"Twin") Sullivan. the lad who has twice been defeated by the Balti- morean. But Sullivan claims to have improved greatly since his last bout with Cans.
 Sullivan is an ambitious fellow and fulI of courage Although he has been twice knocked out by Cans. he insists on another dose of the sleep producing medicine and has posted sI.O 900 as a forfeit to bind a match with the holder of two titles
 It would appear that Sullivan. who is certainly one of the best velters in the country and who recently stop ned Jack Dougherty. the Milwaukee its pounder. is just the sort of game that suits Cans. and the negro should have no trouble in making it three In a TOW.
 The logical bout for Sullivan. how ever. is with Joe Thomas. champion veiter of the Pacific coast vho has made a great record since he has been in the east

THE PUGILlSTS CORBETT WILL BE
 KEPT AT WORK Jack Me cCuigan Will See That Young Corbett is in Good Shape For
 Go With Terry.

Philadelphia, Sept 24.-As guar antee that Young Corbett, who is matched to fight Terry McGovern six rounds before the National Athletic club in this city on October 5, is busy getting himself in perfect condition for the battle. Manager Jack Mo Guigan has decided to spend the greater part of the time before the fight at Corbett's training quarters, near New York. McGuigan is deter mined that Corbett shall be at his best for the fight. Joe Humphreys will superintend Terry's work, and Michigan has Joe's word for Terry's training efforts.
 Corbett, however, loves the gay life so well that McGuigan has de- cided to take no chances, and every second day or so the manager will spend the entire twenty-four hours at Corbett's quarters rushing the Den verite through his paces.
 Interest in the bout is growing hourly here, with McGovern the fa- vorite in the betting. Corbett, how ever, has that same old list of ad- mirers who always cling to his vary ing fortunes. Already scores of ap- plications for seats have been re- ceived and despite the advance in prices the club expects a packed house. Several bets have already been recorded, with McGovern at 10 to favorite.

ISN'T ONLY FASHION PLATE.

The news that Abe Attel would go abroad in an attempt to get in the list of we'll dressed men, recalls some of the fighters who have made clothes speciality. Of course Jack O'Brien's name is the very first one thinks of, for Jack is nothing if not "dressy," and he has enough clothes to stock an ordinary store. But then O'Brien has as much idea about taste as the common garden variety of pig has about side pockets, and his efforts to go to the extreme in the latest styles result in something entirely different from what any other man Is wearing. or would wear.
 Jim Corbett Is still the same neat, stylish looking man who won the title of Gentleman Jim" at the time he took the other title away from John L. Sullivan. John L., by the
 way, never went in much for clothes, and for the last few years he has been so fat that comfort and not style has
 bothered him more than anything else. rrs ize Kid Mccoy is another one who al- ways dressed like a gentleman with out sporting anything loud. and Sam Berger is about in the same class, all
 though he is bit given to funny lit tie hats.
 Jimmy Britt has always been a fashion plate, and so has Young Cor
 bett, but Battling Nelson would be picked out of crowd of little fellows as a bruiser at any time, and cares little about how his clothes look just
 so they are lined with some good coin.
 Charley Mitchell was always neat and clean in his attire. but he never put on any Jugs and never will.
 But there are some others in the fight game or who have been in 1t who shine among the we'll dressed
 men from quite another standpoint. Kid Broad has always been a nota- ble example of what not to wear. and so has Tom Sharkey. and then, too, there is a host of little fellows | and big men who, perhaps when they get to winning few big purses may | spruce up a bit, but right now they are in the Broad class for fair.

BASE BALL NEW FORKS SHUT
 OUT CHICACOS ''Criff's" Men Win Farewell Game From Rivals Eastern Clubs
 Still in the Lead.

Chicago, Sept 24. New York shut out Chicago, 1 to 0, in their farewell game of the season yesterday before the largest crowd in the history of the American league in this city. Both Hogg and Walsh pitched superb ball, but the hitting of the home team was weak. The only run of the game was made In the first inning. Elberfield got base on balls, and scored when Chase singled and Dougherty fum- bled the hit. The defeat of New York by Chicago Saturday placed the two teams on equal terms in the race for the pennant, but by winning to-day New York goes ahead again. The score:
