SPORTING NOTES
CARL ANDERSON HURTS HAND,
WILL NOT BE ABLE To FIGHT

Carl Anderson will not be in the ring
tonight to fight Tony Caponi. The
hard luck that has pursued Anderson
in his pugiIistic career is still follow
ing him, and last night in boxing Frank
Childs. a large negro who was train
ing him, he overreached in attempting
a blow at Child's face and injured his
hand so badly that it is out of the
question for him to fight.
No one feels worse over the accident
than Anderson He has been training
for this fight for several weeks and
all of the time and expense have been
for naught on account of the accident
which happened at the last minute.
The bones in the hand were not brok-
en-, but the hand was injured SO that
it would be out of the question for him
TO attempt to fight. 1t is doubtful If
he could get the hand into glove on
account of it's swollen condition.
While the management of the Co
lumbia Athletic club regrets very much
that Anderson will not be able to ap-
pear. they were very fortunate in be-
ing able to secure a man. at the last

CAUSE FOR ALARM
Loss of Appetite or Distress After Eat
ing a symptom That Should Not
Be Disregarded.

Appetite is just as a natural desire

distress after eating indicate indiges-
ton or dyspepsia Over-eating is a
habit very dangerous to a persons
good general health, and Unsuitable ap-
petite Is a sure symptom of diabetes.
1t is not what you eat, but what
you digest and assimilate that does
you good. Some of the strongest. heav-
lest and healthiest persons are moder-
ate eaters.
There is nothing that will create
a discordered stomach. and many peo-
pie daily contract serious maladtes sim
ply through disregard or abuse OF the
stomach.
We urge everyone in Hammond who
| is suffering from any stomach derange-
ment, indigestion or dyspepsia, wheth-
er acute or chronic, to try RexalI Dvs-
pepsia Tablets, with the distinct under
standing that we will refund their
money without question or formality.
If after reasonable use of this medi-
cine, they are not perfectly satisfied
with the results. We recommend then,
to our customers every day, and have
yet to hear of anyone who has not
been benefited by them. We honest
| ly believe them TO be without equal.
They are made from the prescription
of physician who devoted all his
| time to the study and treatment of
stomach troubles. They give very
prompt relief, neutralize the gastric
| juices. strengthen the digestive organs,
create good digestion and assimilation,
naturally regulate the bowels. promote
perfect nutrition, and create a perma-
nent cure of all unhealthy symptoms.
We urge you to try a Csc box Of Rex
all Dyspepsia Tablets. which gives Is
days treatment. At the end of that
time. your money will be returned to
you II you are not satisfied. OF course
in chronic cases length of treatment
varies. For such cases, we have two

minute, who will put up as good q fight
as Anderson.
The man who has been selected is
Joe German. That German is good
man is shown by the fact that he lasted
seven rounds with Billy Papke, the
Spring Valley whirlwind, who has a
peculiar habit of knocking out his men
in a round or two.
He won a draw with Young Ma
honey, got the decision over Billy
Rhodes and went ten rounds to no de-
cision with Terry Martin, according to
Burns and other Hammond fight fol-
lowers.
They say German mixes freely, and
this will probably make the fight even
more interesting than 1t was expected
to be. But one of the chief drawing
cards this evening will be the mill be-
tween Eddie Storms, the fighting con-
ductor of Laporte." and Bobbie Burns.
The Hammond fans know what Burns
can do and they also know what Stems
can do. and so this fight is sure to be
interesting. There will be other good
preliminaries which will make the con-
tests tonight well worth seeing.

COMMY TO SEE
FIELDER JONES

San Francisco, Cal. March "a
Thursday morning will probably see
Fielder A. Jones, for five years manager
of the White Sox, confronting the
greatest problem of his life. President
Comiskey and his party left last night
for Portland and the Old Roman is de-
termined to land his lieutenant for an
other season. He will have about seven
hours Thursday in which to argue with
Jones before the train for Seattle
leaves, and he believes he will be sue
cessful.
Il have received no further message
or letter from Jones'" said the Sox man
ager before leaving, nor have I an
swered his letter announcing his re-
tirement. so no offer of $4,000 has been
made. But I believe I can make Fielder
see that leaving the club in the lurch
at the time the training trip begins
is not fair to anyone. I still believe he
will be back in center field. It's too
late for him to quit.

I'LL GIVE JEFF $4,000 TO SAY
YES $1,000 TO SAY NO. JOHNSON

Jack Johnson, champion pugilist of
the world, yesterday made the startling
announcement that he would give Jim
Jefrries $4,000 If he would say yes"
In answer to a question, VIII you fight
me-" and $1,000 If he would say no"
And Jeffries will get the chance to
earn this money. either way, IN a very
short time. for johnson will leave Chi
cago for New York Sunday afternoon
and will arrive in Gotham Monday, pre-
pared to make good his statement JEFF
fries is in Boston this week and will be
there next week. Johnson has an en-
gagement at the Hub City in short
time and the men are sure to get into
the same town before many weeks have
gone by.
When they do it is Johnson's inten-
ton to call on Jeffries personally If the
former champion will agree to see him.
| If JEFF refuses to see him Johnson will
send his business manager, Abe Arends,
to see the big fellow. Whoever makes
the call will offer money for just one
little word.
Johnson is in no hurry to fight JEFF
fries, but he wants to know as soon as
possible whether or not JEFF ever in
tends to meet him. That is the reason
| of his offer. He will fight jeff any
time, but would prefer to wait until
after he has made all the money he
can out of theatrical engagements and

plans with knowledge as to Jeffs in

PACKY GETS End VICTORY

New York, March 24.-Packey McFar-
land, Chicago's clever boxer, outpointed
Leach Cross for the second time in their
battle here last night. The New York
er made a better showing this time
than he did in the first meeting of the
boys, but Packey proved the better
man all through the mill.
IN almost every round the stock
yards fighter had the honors. He out
boxed and outhit Cross.
Mcfarland won as far a man
might toss a stone. and once more it
has been demonstrated that knockout
punch wins a man no money unless it

Knockout punches last night He filed
the air with them. He shaved Packey' S
chin with them and he rammed them
into gloves and elbows and shoulders
but not one of them got home on the
chin. which is the point from which
they begin to pay off.

game between George Sutton and Ora
Morningstar in the third match of the
international 1872 billiard tourney at
Madison Square Garden last night
Morningstar won by the score of 500
to 49O.
It was slow and tedious game,
something on the order of the after
noon contest, in which Cutler defeated
Kline by a one-sided score. However,
last nights battle was close and as
Morningstar in the middle of the game
had assumed a respectable lead, only
to be passed, the spectators were kept
interested.
Toward the close it looked as If SUIT
ton had the game sewed up, when in
the thirteenth inning he passed Morn
ingstar by making a fine run. of A to
the latters one. This put the cham
pion in the lead, 451 to 444. In the
thirty-second inning Sutton cut loose
with 81, which made him 400. counting
the 8 in the thirty first. In the thirty
third Morningstar got the worries to
! work and clicked off a total of 43,
which passed Suttons total

accompany the payment of the $3.50 in
to the city treasury. There are many
who pay nowadays, now that the police
have taken IN the matter Of collection
and there are many of the delinduents
who file a protest when they pay.
1 TIE protest was ihaugurated during
last spring, when 1t was rumored
abroad that a test of the street TAX
provision would be made. But now IL
develops that the fight on the street
tax. was to follow the Identical lines
as we're mapped out for the fight on
.tha prohibItion law. And as the
supreins Court upheld the prohibition
law. the street tax hght goes by de-
fault.
. The fight on the street tax was to
have taken the shape of an attack on
the new municipal code. which, II had
rufnored, was unconstitutional, on the

unconstitutionality of the prohibition
,iaw--that IL attempted, ut the same
time. to fufh1l the office of local ana
a general law. But in upholding the
prohfbition law, the Supreme Court
saiieiched the fight on the code.
AS to collection of the street tax, the
police are proving admirable tag col
fectors. Scores OF the recalcitrants
have been brought to pay the tax. with
an additional fifty cents fee for the be-
lated collection, and many have been
arrested and fined upon refusal TO pay:
