FLY TO PIECES. The Effect of Coffee on Highly Organized People.

'I have been coffee user for years, and about two years ago got into very serious condition of dyspepsia and indigestion. It seemed to me would fly to pieces nervous that at the least noise was distressed and many times could not straghten myself up because of the pain
 My physician told me I must not eat any heavy or strong food and ordered diet, giving me some medicine I followed directions carefully, but kept on using coffee and did not get any better Last win ter my husband, who away on business, had Pos tum Cereal served to him in the family where he boarded.

Young Pugillst Who Has Suffered De-

George Memsic and Clarence Eng
lish, who will meet at McCareys fistic
arena Tuesday night, have finished
training, are the right weight and are
ready for the battle. Both fighters
say they are in the best of condition
and each expects to win.
English is practically unknown to
the sports of the coast. this being his
first appearance in a California ring.
William Murphy, his manager. has
great faith in the lad and is convinced
he will give a good account of him.

Memsic, on the other hand is we'll
known to the fight fans of the West.
His recent battles have gone against
him. This he attributes to being COM
PEELED to make the weight necessary
for lightweights weakening him to
such an extent that he is not at his
best when at 1873 pounds. AT catch
weights he says he is confident he will
give better account of himself than
he has at his last few battles.
The boxing contest at Uncle Tom s
cabin Tuesday will be one of the best
which the Los Angeles fans have seen.
This is evidenced from the interest the
participants are taking in their train
ing, which practically has ended
This match means much to each OF
the men. For Memsic it is the chance
of his life to make good before the
fans after having suffered defeats at
the hands of three of the lightweights
in his latest fights in Los Angeles.
viii Retire If Beaten
If Memsic wins Tuesday evening he
will have whipped one of the best men
at the weight and he will have many
chances to show again in this city. On
the other hand. if he is not victorious
he will retire from the ring, according
to his own assertions before entering
upon the contest with English.
|, With this battle English will make
his first bow to the Los Angeles fol-
lowers of the fistic sport He has a
fine record, but he must gain the VIC
tory over Memsic in order to show the
fans that he is of the best caliber.
With the men thus keyed up to the
highest pitch by the rewards of vic
tory, the fans undoubtedly will wit
ness one of the hardest and most in
teresting bouts which McCarey has
staged for the past year.
English finished up his regular work
Sunday by his spin on the road near
Watts and his exercising in the after
noon on Manager Murphy's ranch. He
boxed five fast rounds with Charlie
Dalton at the end of the session. Mon
day he will do a little road work in
the morning.
Memsic repeated his regular pro-
gram Sunday, which included four
rounds of boxing with the Turk at the
East Side gymnasium, which was well
filled with spectators who wished tc
see the boxer in his final act of prepa-
ration.

Oakland s, Los Angeles 8


The Angels went down in defeat yes
terday afternoon at Chutes park before
the oaks. Berry's men started well,
scoring two runs in the first inning,
and held the visitors down to zero
until the fourth inning, when the OAKS
punched their hits and brought in
three runs. The Angels tied the score
in the last half of this inning by Sc
curing a single run. The rooters
cheered Justify and seemed assured
the home team would win. They were
sadly disappointed, however, for the
inning ended without another run be-
ing scored.
In the fifth Heitmuller came to the
hat one man was on base. He sent
swift one over, Heitmuller connected
with it and the sphere scared over
the left field fence, scoring two runs
for the visitors. This gave the oaks
q lead the Angels could not approach.
In the eighth the visitors made one
run on an error by Smith, who missed
a throw from II. Hogan and allowed
the ball to roll into the left garden.
Hosp was touched up for eleven hits,
while Deller held the Angels down to
seven. The honors were even as to
strike-outs, each pitcher striking out
five men, Deller allowed but one man
to walk. Hosp was more liberal and
gave three men passes to first.
A feature of the game was the diff
f1cult running catch made by Brashear
in the sixth inning, when he sprinted
from his position in deep right to the
bleachers and snatched W. Hogan's
high drive. The play brought the fans
to their feet and their cheers were
deafening.
The crowd took exceptions to several
decisions rendered by O'Connell and
showed their disapproval by kissing
and hooting.

WHITE WITHDRAWS
HILL-CLlMB CONTEST
SCHEDULED EVENT MAY NOW
BE HELD
test May 80 a Certainty-Had
Been Declared Winner of
1907 Free for All

Walter C. White has written TO
Chairman Thompson of the racing
board of the A. A A. formally with
drawing his protest made in connection
with the hill-climh of the Wilkebarre
Automobile club ~ Decoration day of
last year.
Mr.. White takes this action in order
that the Wilkesbarre club may receive
a sanction for their hill-climb sched-
uled for May 30. The conditions which
the racing board decreed should be
fulfilled by the Wilkesbarre club have
not been complied with, but Mr.. White
surrenders his rights in the matter
rather than prevent the hill-climb be-
ing held.
This magnanimous action of Mr..
White brings to a conclusion, with
credit to himself but with little credit
to the Wilkesbarre club, a controversy
which has been raging for nearly a
year.
1t will be remembered. that last year
Mr. White entered his White cars in
the free-for-all event at Wilkesbarre;
his entries were duly accepted and
nothing was heard regarding his being
barred out until he had shown the
speed of his cars in practice on the
hill three days before the contest.
The entry blanks and rules were then
hurridly reprinted with a new clause
inserted which barred steam cars from
the event. Mr.. White protested Wig
orously at this treatment, but the local
officials were obdurate. Through the
intervention of Starter Fred j. Wag-
ner Mr.. White was allowed to make
time trials up the hill, with the re-
suit that he made the climb in 1:49 40
or 10 seconds faster than the best
time made by a gasoline car. Mr.
White then entered a protest with the
racing board of the A. A. A. and that
body, after due deliberation, declared
him to be the winner of the free-for-
all and ordered the Wilkesbarre clut
| to deliver to him the first prize in thai
event, a handsome silver cup.
| The club showed no disposition tc
take any steps in the matter until
very recently, when it was found that
no sanction would be forthcoming fol
this years event until the decision OF
the racing board had been fully COM
| piled with. The club then opened ne
Cotiations with Mr.. White but, on va
| rious pretexts, still refused to sur
| render the cup. The club finally
agreed to reengrave the cup so that
| it would be evident that 1t was award
ed for 1.-The fastest time made by a

sent to Mr.. White. In the interests OF
good sport he now SurrenderS his

nation has now been collected with

In the next few weeks. An informal re-
port was made to the drivers by their
committee, which was in substance as
follows:
"A number of motor cabs were pro-
cured by your committee for trial.
Within a few days the exhaustive tests
which they underwent proved many
of them unfit for consideration. and
these were consequently eliminated.
The tests were then continued until
but one machine remained-the Thomas
taxicab. This vehicle has undergone
every possible test, with the greatest
credit to itself and without giving
it's driver the slightest trouble, always
starting on a single turn of the start
ing crank. We recommend this vehicle.
Demand Increasing
"The public demand for motor cabs
is Increasing daily and it will necessi-
tate the exchange of motor vehicles for
the present horse-drawn cabs If we
are to retain our patronage. Already
several prominent clubs, including the
Union League club, have adopted the
Thomas taxicab.
Lastly. earnings are enormous. AL
though the short tests which we nave
been conducting are not conclusive,
vet we feel safe in saying that a first-
class motor cab should earn from $40
to S15 per day, exclusive of a regular
salary allowance for the driver. In
Guiding tips, 500 per day may easily
be made in addition to the operating
expenses of the car. We believe that

Paul Reinwald, the Austrian, whose
shoes gave out in the Mount Wilson
climb. held April 30 under the auspices
of the Police Gazette, thus causing him
to drop out of the race, made the
climb up Mount Wilson yesterday, and
with sore feet beat the time of Wright
who finished second in the race.
His time going up the mountain was
hour 35 minutes. Time coming down
was 81 minutes.
Reinwald was timed at the top of
the mount by F. b. Ross, Ira A. Chase
and j. NJ Patterson. He was timed
at the foot of the trail by F. Huston
and M. McCurdy.
After the run Reinwald was the
guest Of Charles Fox and took dinner
with him at the Shirley house.
