lengthening until at last I would lie
helpless as many as three hours at a
stretch. had dizzy feelings, palpita-
ton of the heart, misery after eating,
hot flashes, nervous headaches, rheu-
matte pains in the back and hips. The

up his treatment, and really feared that
my case was incurable

NEW YORK. April 1A-It IS evident

been brought TO bear on the recent
meeting Of the American Bowling Con-

Jeff Too Wise to Jump
At O'Rourke'S Big Offer
Not Enough Good Men for Him to Fight for
That 0,000-Berger Loses
Head in Ring.
By W. W. NAUGHToN.

SAN FRANCISCO. April 14-At this
writing II looks as though Tom
O'Rourke's s10o.0oo offer TO Jim Jeffries
has fallen nat
1t doesn't follow that the farmer
champion wouldn't jump at a legitimate
chance to earn the lump sum named by
O'Rourke, and especially where the
work he had 10 accomplish called for as
little exertion and promised as little
in the way Of a setback as would the
trouncing of at least five Of the six
heaVies named by O'Rourke.
In all probability Jefrries thinks the
O'Rourke scheme too good TO be true.
AS matters are. he has every reason for
feeling dubious about it To begin with,
no matter what may have been the
outcome of a test case. it is a risky
thing 10 undertake TO establish twenty
round boxing in a section where it was
not permitted before. Maybe II O'Rourke
worked of a few matches between men
of established reputation and then re-
peated his offer to Jeffries, tbs Burbank
