beatabie m his day. he easily outran
men like Maybury. Rush Long and Burk
in the short races n performed prodi-
Eious feats Of speed. A few years after
his retirement Wefers tried TO regain his
old-time form. but found out that the old
snap was not I'm his stride. He could
sprint tolerably wen. but he lacked just
enough OF his former dash 70 keep him
from regainiug his former place as the
greatest short distance man on earth.
There are many distance runners who
have gone through the same experience
that Wefers had. None of them have
ever Quit the game and come back"
again.
1t is the same story in every other line
Of professional and amateur sport. A
man who takes care OF himself and keeps
at the game may have many years or
success, whether Il be at tennis or foot
ball, or running, or baseball, or fight
ing, or anything else. But let him give
up the sport, stay out Of II for a time
and then try to be a champion again, and
where does he get Off Every one knows
the answer.
Ring champions who have tried 1t and
failed are too numerous TO mention. The
trouble, however. with most fighters has
been that they have tried to come back
after they were beaten, and after q long
period OF dissipation. Jeff has never
been beaten, and has has never 6issipated'
so you can't exactly compare him with
Young Corbett and Terry McGovern and
the other champions who tried to come
back and couldn't connect.
Take the case Of John L.. Sullivan. The
old fellow fought Jake Klrain and beat
him I'm seyenty-four rounds in Richburg
on July 8, 1892. Then followed q long
period Of rest-three years and two months
then Jim Corbett put the champion
out Of the running in twenty-one rounds
at New Orleans.
No one has ever come back yet.
Think It over. Does Jeffries have 20
come back to beat Jack johnson?
II he does have to, can he?

Detroit Chioaso game Of May - The
made twelve hits and two runs,
and the Chicagos twelve hits and one run.
The hitting must have been scattered.
-Four Runs an Four Days.
The Bostons n Athletics reciprocated
with 1 to 0 shutouts on June 2, the Bos-
tons making seven hits and no errors In
each game. The Detroits struck a scor-
ing slump in June and In four success
sivs games their runs were 0. 2 1, l. or
four In four days. The Bostons per
petrated twice as many errors as hits on
June H. In the New YOrk-Boston battle
Of the 23d there were the wholesale totals
OF nineteen runs, thirty-four hits and eight
errors. The New Yorks got eleven runs
out of ten hits on June % and the Wash
ingtons got only three runs out Of ten hits
In the same game.
New Yorks runs were two, hits two
ana errors two In the game of July g.
Considerable difference between that and
Boston's performance on the same day.
The Red Sox made twenty-six hits in two
games off the Washington pitchers. The
winning teams Of July 3 made an aggre-
gate Of seventy-three hits. Each batted
into doubled figures, On July 5 the figure
z occurs seven times in the runs and hits
totals. The Celevelands and Washingtons
each made eleven hits and one error on
July 3. The Chicagos and Bostons each
made eleven hits and one error in their
game Of July IL. The score Of both games
was 4 to 8, to prolong the coincidence.
Note the evenness as well as the liberality
Of the total hits in the five games Of July
Is: Twenty. eighteen. fourteen, eighteen
and seventeen.
Three errorless games were played on
July %, and only one error was made in
the four games. The three games on July
Is were all whitewashers for the losers.
Appealing to crap shooters as we'll as
others, on July 80 the Athletics and Bos-
tons each made seven runs and eleven
hits and each held it's opponent to one run.
In the Cleveland Philadelphia and Detroit
Washington Tits Of August 81 sixteen runs
and twenty-six hits were made in each.
The New Yorks were shut out by St. Louis
on August q. Notwithstanding they made
ten hits to the Browns four and fielded
as we'll.
One Of the most whimsical results Of the
season was on August 2s, when the White
Sox made only one hit, but beat the Wash
ingtons, who made seven hits, by a score
Of 6 to 4 Furthermore the sox made three
errors, while the Washingtons fielded with
out a mlsplay. In the Westinghouse,
Louis game of September Is there were
twenty-three runs. thirty-one hits and ten
errors. On September 25 eight games were
played the four victors each taking both
ends Of the double header. On October 3
three games were played, Chicago VS.. De-
troit. st. Louis VS.. Cleveland and st. Louis
vs.. Cleveland in a second game. The Sox
and Tigers made eight hits in their game.
the Browns and Maps made ten hits each
in their first game and five each in their
second.

FALL WORK ON WATER A HIT
Harvard Men Are struck with Coach
Wrny's Idea.

Harvard Men are struck WIN OeAeh
Wrny's Idea.
BOSTON. Mass, Oct. So.-Coach wray's
theory that fall crew practice on the
Thames is the proper foundation for Har-
ward victories I'm June is as popular as ever
with him. Just at present the crimson
coach is a busy man watching the move
ments of the Harvard Sweepswingers who
are on the river putting in good hard
practice tina win help them to get into
shape for the more gruelling work to come
later.
Fall practice Is popular to Coach Wray,
and incidentally It is becoming more APP
parent that other coaches realize its good
qualities. Yale and Pennsylvania have
always had their men on the water early
in the fall, and Columbia, Syracuse, Prince
ton; Cornell and the navy also are not
backward in this respect, the Red and
White paying more attention this time OF
year to the freshmen crew h the var
sity.
Harvard this year was the first Of the
large universities TO take to the water,
with Yale a close second. The Quakers
followed next. The Blue each day has
fourteen crews on the water, as has the
Quakers. When the Quakers began their
fall practice over 15 men reported for
work. Coach Courtney at Cornell pays a
great deal of attention to the first year
material. When he issued a call for can
didates some days ago a squad of LIZ men
reported.
For quite a while the Orange crew did
not enjoy the benefits of fall practice, but
since last year Coach Ten Eyck has
changed his views. His freshmen and var
sity men began work on Lake Onondaga
several weeks ago, and by this time they
are showing improved form. TIE Tigers
and Middies are also on the watel, but it

The acknowledged virtue of S. S. as a blood remedy induced
Mr.. Weber to commence its use when he found he had contracted
Contagious Blood Poison. The good results he obtained is lust another
demonstration of its value as a cure for this disease.
Contagious Blood Poison is the most powerful and destructive of
all blood disorders. Its virus perneates the entire circulation and this
explains why any one afflicted with this malady usually finds its symp-
toms manifested in every portion of the body. From head to foot the
insidiouS poison breaks forth, The hair and eyebrows come out the
mouth and throat ucerate, skin erupionS and sores and ulcers break
out on the body, the bones ache, glands in the groin swell, and
frequently the nails on hands and feet are affected.
The only possible way to cure Contagious Blood Poison is TO
the cause by purifying the blood. This is Just what S. S.
does; and 1t is the only medicine that absolutely and thoroughly
ceanses the circulation of every particle of the germs and virus of the
disease. Mercury, Potash, etc, are often used by deSpaning sufferers
in the hope that such strong treatment will kill the poison. But this
cannot be done; the disease may be checked temporarily and the
symptoms improved, but the old poison is Slumbering in the blood, and
when the treatment is left off the disease always returns.
The ability OF SIS. to cure Contagious Blood Poison comes
from its blood purifying properties. 1t goes into the circulation and
removes every trace of the poison, makes the blood pure and healthy,
and leaves no dregS OF the virus TO break out later on. SIS S. is made
entirely Of roots, herbs and barks, each Of which has a direct and

didn't find out 1 had contracted Contagious Blood Poison
until it had made considerable Roadway. had heard a great
deal of the value of SIS. S, as a blood medicine, in fact had a
friend who had cured himself Of the same disease through its
use, so as soon as 1 discovered the nature of my trouble 1 began
taking it. I got along splendidly from the very first and my
recovery was steady. When l first began the use of S. S. s. my
face was so full of sores and e~ruptous that l could not shave.
Other parts of my body were similarly affected, but there is
now not a blotch, pimple or any other sign Of the disease. I
was cured by S. S. s. and 1 know l am cured to stay cured as
this was several yeats ago. There is nothing that equals
SIS S. for Contagious Blood Poison and I always recommend
it in such cases. WALTER WEBER.

ONE WOMAN
WAY To BUY

A Spokane woman who manages
to have a very pretty wardrobe on
n small income was asked how she
accomplishes 1t.
To begin with, she never buys
anything because 1t Is merely pref
ty: she considers every purchase in
relation to what she already pos
sesses. When buying a hat, she
never thinks of 1t in connection
with one gown, but always asks
herself, How will it go with all
that | have?'
N Perhaps 1t would not go" at all,
II II were not that this little lady
always selects one colors. instead
of many. for her dresses, and wears
that color for several seasons, keep
ing every article which she buys
from time to time in harmony with
It.
One color Is never more eXpen-
Rive than another. so she has the
greatest latitude in successive sea
sons, If not in one year
Sometimes she follows a black
and white scheme for certain
time. She chooses her finest win
ter frock of black. For summer she
selects some kind of a white wool
skirt Any white waist which she
had worn with the black suit would
also be appropriate to wear with
The white skirt. Gray also enters
into black and white scheme. and
that's designed to wear with black
and white dresses harmonic
equally well with the gray.
Any change from one scheme of
color to another must, of course. be
gradual For instance, If brown
has been the central theme, har-
monizing color like green can be
introduced little by little, until an
entire change in the wardrobe has
been worked out. From green, an
other change could be made to red,
for by this time all of the brown
clothes would have been worn out.

very deeply. Several seconds slowly

Handsome" was troubled. In
truth his conscience pricked him
sorely. While he could use his
pony" with the next fellow. to be
helped out by an outsider, to be
given the answer, direct, seemed
to his peculiar code of ethics to be
very worng. And so, as an officer
and gentleman, he had decided to
tell it all to the commandant. He
met him on the parade ground and
respectfully saluted.
How now, Snodgrass?" asked
the ommandant. And SnOd. told
him his cause for worry. His supe-
rior heard him through with a Pc
culiar twinkle in his eye. and when
the story was finished he said face
tiously enough for an old duck, Go,
marry the girl; but don't let it hap
pen again"
At which they both laughed long.

Why not toy power boat. boys
and girls? They're as easy as fall
ing off log.
You might try the mississippi
packet" first. It's simplest.
Take thin piece of board, about
four inches wide and eight or ten
long, and with a sharp jackknife
white one end of 1t down to a
blunt point. That's the bow of your
boat.
In the center of the sten--the
other end--cut notch about three
quarters of an inh wide and two
inches long. Then take two pieces
of wood. one-half inch wide by one
and one-half inches long, and notch
them in the center so they will
dovetail together and make your
paddle wheel.
Now take a stout rubber band
and fit the paddle wheel together
over the center of it--so an equaI
length hangs out on each side
Drive a small nail through the cen
ter of the wheel to make both
blades secure.
Notch the outsldes of the stern
on line with the center of the
hole you have cut in 1t. Slip In
the paddle wheel and throw the
loops over the notches. Twist the
wheel on its rubber band axle
around backards as far as you
think the strength of the rubber
will permit,
Holding the wheel tightly, dror
into the water you want to sal
your Mississippi packet on, Re
lease the wheel and away shell
sail--until the rubber band un
winds. Then wind II up and start
her off again--and so on.
You may find that the weight
of the paddle lifts the bow of youl
packet out OF the water. If you
want to overcome that. make IA lit
tie cabin OF cardboard or an OLD
cigar box, and set 1t up near the
bow.
