Gates Will Play O'NeiII.

Neigh, Neb., Nov 20.-Sporting
Editor The News: A casual reading
of the essay written by Ducky McNic-
hols, captain of the O'Neill football
team, may raise some doubt as to
whether the "senseless clamor and
baby play" and Childish prattle," has
been on the part of the 'puny, ciga-
rette-eating, perfumed boy" and
"senseless mutt like Enthusiast No.
q" from Gates. While neither | nor
any other person connected with Gates
academy, have or has, heretofore, had
anything to do with the controversy
appearing in your paper regarding
football between Gates and the O'Neill
high school, yet the statements made
by Captain McNichols are so palpably
untrue that | desire to put the Gates
team right with the public.
| do not care to comment upon the
alleged unjust assault upon the foot
ball team" but on "O'Neill citizenship
generally" as those who have read
the articles published and who are
acquainted with the facts as they ac-
tually exist, are probably able to draw
their own conclusions as to whether
an injustice has been done.
AS did not attend Gates in 1904,
I have no personal knowledge concern
ing the contests between O'Neill and
Gates on the gridiron during that year;
but my information, (Which l believe
to be authentic) is that Professor Bar
Der did not participate in a single
game between Gates and O'Neill In
the capacity of a player, but that he
did play with the Neigh high school
team in a game between that institu-
tion and team purporting to be com
posed of players from the O'Neill high
school. With reference to the player
Grabiel, mentioned in Captain Nc
Nichols treatise, the records of the
academy show that Mr.. Grabiel was
a regularly enrolled student of, and
actually attended, that school during
the year 1904-1905. 1t might not be
out of place here to state that at
least one of the players from O'Neill,
participating in the contest between
Gates and O'Neill at Neigh the fore
part of the present season, was not
student of the high school at O'Neill,
but was a practicing dentist at that
place.
The statement that O'Neill would
be willing to play at Ewing is GER
tainly unique in view of the fact that
there is no football field at that place.
If ONeill really is desirous of play
ing a game of football with Gates,
(Which is not borne out by the state
ments published and letters from Cap
tain McNichols to the manager of the
Gates team, we will play them at Ne

SUPPORTERS OF COOPER
THEORY MULTIPLY INC
Belief That Stomach Causes Extensive Illness
Grows In New York

L. r. Cooper's theory that the
American stomach has grown weak
and is responsible for most sickness
is receiving the strongest sort of en-
dorsement from q surprising number
of New Workers.
Among many people who have re-
Gently become convinced that Cooper
is correct and his medicine all he
claims is Mrs. Eleanor Harris, of 226
Rodney street, Brooklyn.
Thursday afternoon Mrs. Harris
called at the store where Cooper is
meeting the public, and when inter-
viewed said: 81 am only too willing
to tell what a remarkable experience
have had with Cooper's New Dis
covery, and what a wonderful
medicine 1 know it to be.
'I have had rheumatism for sixteen
years and took so much medicine in
trying to get rid of 1t that for the past
eight years my stomach has been in
a fearful condition, as my digestion
was almost ruined. For ten years 1
consulted one physician after an
other, but my rheumatism got steadily
worse. Finally my stomach got in
such a state that had to stop taking
medicine altogether.
when I first heard of Mr.. Cooper's
medicine and what it was doing in
New York I was afraid to try it; but
I finally decided to take it, and if it
did me no good I would never take

any medicine again. 1 started the
treatment six weeks ago. The first
effect it had was to give me a better
appetite than have had for ten years.
Then my food began to digest and no
longer distressed me for hours after
eating. At the end of the third week
I noticed that I was not suffering as
much from rheumatism, and each day
the pain and stiffness grew less until I
no longer had any rheumatism. For
the past week I feel as though 1 had
been made over entirely, as have no
pains or aches and eat three hearty
meals a day, with no indigestion
whatever.
MY two nieces and my sister have
had stomach trouble. When they saw
what the medicine was doing for me
they all tried it. It has helped them
just as it did me, and they are de-
lighted with their Improvement. One
of them told me that 1t was worth
more than its weight in gold to her.
This sounds almost impossible, but
every word of it is true"

THE PASSING OF TAYLOR.
Dummy and NTcGraw Were More Than
Ordinary Friends

New York, Feb. 9.-The dropping of
Dummy Taylor by the Giants is prob
ably the hardest official order that Nc
Graw has ever been compelled to issue.
There was a feeling between. Taylor and
the chief of the Giants which was more
than ordinary friendship. On account OF
his rare good humor and his love for fun,
coupled with his inffrmity. Taylor en-
deared himself to McGraw, and it is likely
that if McGraw had been in a position to
on his payroll for life. On the other hand
Taylor thinks there is no man like Nc
Graw, and his forced retirement from the
Giants will be the bitterest moment of his
life. Taylor has felt for two years that
McGraw did more for him than his SER
vices really warranted. and when the
manager offered to raise the deaf mute
pitchers salary he declined He is the
first ball player on record that ever re-
fused an increase in salary.
