ECZEMA LODGES IN THE SKIN
Not a Blood Disease-Cured by Oil OF
Wintergreen Compound.

For many years eczema was sup
posed to be blood disease and was
enormously treated as such, but Few
the best authorities agree that eczema
is only a skin disease and must be
cured through the skin The eminent
skin specialist, DR.. ID. ID. Dennis. first
discovered the eczema germ and his
discovery was quietly taken up in
both Germany and France.
To kill the eczema germ and al the
same time heal the skin. Dr. Dennis
compounded oil of wintergre"n, thy
mol, glycerine, etc. The remedy is a
liquid. not a mere salve, hence it sinks
right into the pores of the skin. Wash
ing with this oil of wintergreen con-
pound seems to take the itch away at
once; soon the scales drop away and
the disease disappears-Harper House

been used so long as to have proven
its absolute merit and we do not hest

Latter Has Little Chance Against the
Champ at Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, March 2-Abe Attel,
the featherweight champion of the
world, outpointed Young Pierce of
Philadelphia last night in the windIp
of the Washington Sporting club. It
is likely that Attel held Pierce too
chcaply and did not train sufficiently
for the contest, flor after the third
round he seemed to get tired and did
not force the clever colored lad DIS
hard as he did in the first couple of
rounds. The contest was on of the
fastest and most scientific ever seen
in this city and it could really be
called boxing treat, for. barring a
slight bleeding at the mouth by Pierce,
neither man seemed to suffer any and
at the end of the contest neither Doe

WILL REPORT LATE
Jimmy O'Hearn, Much Touted In
fielder, Cannot Come Till
School Closes.
GRADUATES AT TORONTO
Is Some Batter and Is Expected to
Make Good-Beginning CT Practice
Here Awaits Groundkeeper.

Manager Jack Tighe received word
this morning from James O'Hearn OF
Toronto, Canada, to the effect that he
will be unable TO report until the latter
part of April. O'Hearn is one of the
most promising candidates on Jacks
list, and the big manager regrets that
the season will be so far advanced be-
fore he can put in his appearance, but
there seems nothing to do but to make
the best of it.
O'Hearn is a young fellow who has
not passed out of his 21st year as yet
and is still in college. 1t is the fact
that he is in college that prevents him
from reporting earlier in the season.
He is to graduate from the University
jof Toronto in the middle of April, and
he feels that it is necessary for him
to stay in school until the close. He
: is one of the mainstays of the Toronto
team, and when he arrives here he
will be in good condition, as he is to
figure in number of exhibition games
WHICH the team will play before the
opening of the league season.
| O'Hearn has a good reputation as
an infeldcr and also as a batter In
an exhibition game against Providence
tof the Eastern league last year, in
which Barry was doing the twirIing
for the leaguers, O'Hearn secured two
home runs, two doubles and single
out of five times up. His batting has
always been considered remarkable
and Tighe feels sure that he will prove
a find for the Islanders.
| Awaiting on Grounds.
| Jack Tighe and several others of the
Islanders who are wintering here are
getting anxious to get out to the park
and commence the warming up eXer
cises, but are unable to do so until the
grounds are put in better shape. AS
yet there has been no Sroundkeepel
Engaged for the season. although there
are several applicants for the posi-
ton. 1t is probable that the position
will be filled at the next meeting OF
grounds all ready for practice by the
middle of this month, as he wants &c
get out and Timber up. Os Bruner. who
is in charge of the grounds and Presi
dent Van Calder are planning a TRIP
out to the park to see what improve
ments or changes they can recommend
to the directors. They had planned t
so out Saturday afternoon, but Os go
into a discussion of baseball in gen
eral and forgot to keep his appoint
Iment
i The schedule for the exhibition
games is about completed and it will
give the local fans some good attrac
tons. There will be two teams of Is
landers, according TO Jacks plans a
i present, and on several dates one team
will be on the road while the other il
at home. The officials of the club ar
Il trying to arrange to have zone of thu
j regularly appointed league umpires a
i this city to ofiiciate at the exhibition
games. One of the umpires has ex
pressed a desire to umpire the exhibi
ton games here and he will probabl,
!, be taken on.

his Aberdeen team. Guess he has
about enough from the Three -Ey e

The result was a decision to extend
