 FIGHT ELkS' WEEK

LOS ANGELES, July 2.-With the matching of Stanley Ketchel and Jim Flynn for a ten-round bout for the evening of July IA, the date following after the Nelson-Wolgas, affair. the plans for a big week of three interna- tional matches for the fans who will gather during the Elks' seven-day celebration are shaping u3 iI form.
 As had been predicted, bouts of countrywide importance were sought for by Manager McCarey with the pur pose in view of giving Southern Cali fornia fight patrons and their guests. the visiting fraternal delegates, some thing in the fight line which would re- main In their memofy as long as there fingered visions of the reunion of 1909. This Is a splendid start With Flynn and Ketchel and Nelson and wolgast as the two cards, the fistic followers may well look for happen ings which will push tne Angei City to the front in the pugilistic world
 Flynn has been considered by the local promoters as probable con testant in an Elks' week card for sev- eral weeks. Negotiations have been pending with Ketchel in regard to his match ever since his arrival in Cali fornia, and with the receipt of wire from Ketchel signifying that the terms offered are O. K. the match was placed on the Pacific clubs calendar for the week of feasting and rejoicing.
 Flynn Predicts Victory.
 Lots of the fans seem to think l am in for a quick beating in this fight withKetcheL Now, that is one thing they want to forget This man is made for me, if ever any fighter was. I don't pretend to be a boxer. I'm a fighter, pure and simple, and I depend on my rushing tactics and boring in to win l must get in close to win With a showy boxer I always appear to disadvantage until I tire him and begin to get in close. Then you win always find me leading the way. Ketchers style is the same rough, az gressive mixing. will meet him in mid-rirg and we will fight 1t out, for neither of us win stand off and tap. It will be one of those slosc-in fights. and those are the kind always win. This is the time Ketchel will surely get his."

INDIAN MYERS OF
 GIANTS IS \ FIND
Educated Red Man is Showing the Way to Veterans With
 His Big Stick

Catcher Jack Myers of the Giants. Is proving one of the real baseball finds of 1909 Any youngster who can break into fast company and show the way to veterans in hitting, after the pitchers have had plenty of occasion to study his weaknesses must pack the right sort of goods. Yet the case of Myers is of added interest in that the big fellow is an Indian.
 Myers, is of course, al assumed name, a college bequest to mark the good-natured aborigine from the se- questered people of his tribe. At the Pala reservation, in California, the notable backstop is known to the Mis- sion Indians as "Tortes." A strictly English interpretation of the word Is beyond even the educated ingenuity of Myers himself. It is fusion of the Spanish-Indian dialect, and con veys about the same sense of meaning as our slang hot stuff"
 Myers Is not a reservation Indian, though much of his time has been spent on the California reserves. Un- til the social barriers had been some what removed by the refinement of university education he naturally sought the life of his instincts. A born athlete, he still preserves a deep ven eration for the pursuits of his fore fathers. Already he is counting the days until he is free to return to the hunting grounds of his valley home.
 Raised at Riverside, Cal, Myers had every advantage of securing an educa- ton. As a boy he played with his little white brothers of the town. He just naturally took to baseball, and as he was always big and strong he accepted but one position on the field, that of catcher. From the sand lots he drifted to high school ball. Then he went east to study at Darmouth. A year in college and Harrisburg, of the Tri-State League, persuaded him to seek the diamond as vocation. He drifted west to Butte, Mont of the Northwestern League, and made such hit there that St. Paul. of the Amer ican Association, procured him almost two years ago. From St. Paul he went last fall to the Giants.
 Myers is a bright fellow, despite his native reserve When warmed to en- thusiasm he can discourse on almost any topic intelligently. In no wise vain, he takes his success in New York as a mere matter of fact.
 I like baseball" says he. T have played much Why should not play we'll? I am strong. I love the game have tried only to catch since I was litle boy. I haven't yet shown the best that is in me. can hit much better than I have for the Giants. I could always hit we'll. I will hit bet ter and catch better, too, as I get better acquainted.
 "No. l am not superstitious," he continued as a camera hove in sight Not so much so. anyhow, as the gen eral run of players. I don't mind be- ing snapped a bit any more. used to be sensitive on the subject. But it's different now. realize it may help the club at times and anything that helps my club goes for me.
 You know, we show business peo pie canot afford to be too independ- ent- The public actually interests It. self in us. We belong to them and they to us-if we amount to anything So why shouldn't they be humored? Go as far as you like"

GIVEN
 HIS CHANGE
St. Louis Twirler Will Have His First Opportunity While
 Bucking Douglas
EACH GAME OF SERIES
 TO BE CALLED AT FOUR

Promptly at 4 o'clock this afternoon, Umpire Graham will toss ou. the white leather to Twirler Otis Peebles with the welcome command, Play ball" Short Stop Sandom will be the first man up for Douglas and as soon as he has struck out, then the big game will he on. What? Incidentally, the Doug- las fans will be here with that $2,0O0 with which to wager on the individual games or that they capture the series.
 They will not be without takers, judging from the local spirit, for Cap tain Dorsch has many followers in Bisbee who like the looks of the War riors and who are willing to pin their faith to the Bisbeeites. It will be the first opportunity for the fans to see the work of Peebles, the St. Louis boy who has been doing such steller work in the Trolley league in the brewery town.
 Since arriving Peebles has worked out both afternoons and declares him. self fit for the trial of his life. His fast ball looks like black-eyed pea while his benders remind one of Kansas cyclone. While Manager Wolf has been disappointed in man re gently signed whom he thought would be here in time for the opening game, the line up has been switched to the best possible advantage so that the dope continues to look good for the Warriors.
 playing in every game, will be sta toned out in right field, Thomas to left and Boswell will preside in the nfhnrU1cn hA will line up as in last Sundays game with McCann at first and Royal doing the receiving. When the fan stops to figure it all out, the line up listens" mighty good and is one capable of giving Douglas nice run for the change.
 During the entire series, the games will be called at 4 o'clock, which time has been adopted so that the sports and other features may be enjoyed in accordance with the program without interfering with the national sport. According to the official dope, the two teams will step to the plate as follows:
 Douglas-Sandom, short stop; Wolfe catcher; Ford, second base; Harper, center field: LeBrand, first base; Woolen. third base; McGee, right field; Clifford. left field; Kane or Bar nett. pitcher.
 Bisbee-Ward, short stop; Royal. catcher; Dorsch, second base; Me Cam, first base; Hoschelle. right field; Boswell, center field; Waxey, third base; Thomas, left field; Pee bles, pitcher. Newberry of Courtland will also be here and may possibly be used either in the garden or oil first.

Y.M.C.A.ATHLETES
 ID COMPETE
At Seattle Fair Every Section of United States to Be
 Represented
STADIUM WILL SEE
 MANY RECORDS BROKEN

SEATTLE, July 2.-For the first time the teams of the Young Mems Christ ian Association organizations from all parts of the United States will contest supremacy in one huge track and field meet. which will be held at the Stadi- um of the Alaka-Yukon-Pacific expo sition. Friday and Saturday, July 23 and 24.
 For years it has been an endeavor of the N. L. N. A. as the National League of North America Associations is familiarly known. to bring about such meet. Owing to the size of the undertaking, however, these eff forts have failed to materialize. The A. '. P. E. meet has for this reason been received with the greatest en- thusiasm by the associations of the country.
 G. J. Fisher, secretary of the New York association. has written to Will jam M. Inglis. director of athletics at the exposition, that New York will be well represented. Philadelphia and Buffalo have also signified their in tention to send teams. By the time of the meet. it is estimated that most of the larger associations of the coun- try will have entered representatives.
 Without exception, the associations of the Pacific coast will be repre- sented at the meet. San Francisco and the California contingent are enter ing heartily into the spirit of the meet. Denver and Spokane will both be represented by large teams.
 The list of entries for the contests will include many of the best ath- letes of the country. In some of the events it is estimated that record time will have to be made to win.
 The track at the exposition stadium is one of the fastest on the coast. IL is being constantly worked prepara- tory for the met.

use them, iron and gold must
first be got out of the ore. The
same principle applies to cod liv-
er oil. It's virtues are not in it's
fatty matters much less in its
sickeninig taste and smell. No
consumptive, or sufferer from any
other wasting disease, was ever
greatly benefited by the so-called
''plain" cod liver oil. The shock
it gives to the nerves, the repul-
sion and disgust it excites in the
stomach, the outrages it commits
upon the senses of smell and
taste, are enough to spoil any
medicinal potency that may be.
in it for the majority of people.
This-to say nothing about its
being indigestible. Yet there
has always been reason to believe
that, among the elements which
form cod liver oil, there ex-
listed curative properties of the
highest value. But it was neces-
sary to separate them from the
nauseating waste material with
which they were combined. This
was successfully accomplished in
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
and IN this efectiUe remedy,
made palatable as honey, we have
the very heart and soul of pure
Cod Liver Oil, combined with the
Compound Syrup of Hypophos-
phites, Extracts of Malt and Wild
Cherry These constitute tissue
builder, plooo purifier, a health
remover beyond comparison. Dis
ease yields to it with complete
ness aud rapidity which aston
ishes medical men quite as much
as it delights their patients. In
all wasting conditions, Scrofula
and Blood Disorders, La Grippe,
Influenza, etc., it never fails
to relieve and cure. Dr.. E. j..
Boyes says: sI have found It
preparation of great merit. In
a recent case a patient gained
nearly twenty pounds in two
months treatment, in which it
was the principal remedial agent.

river was split by roar as the report
echoed from bank to bank. Down tum-
blcd the chief over the edge, rolling
over and over like shot rabbit till he
landed plump In the water.
A yell from the band he had led, and
a score of Indians swarmed up to the
bank. But our men drove them back.
and they gave up the attack as a bad
job. At dawn we limped worn out into
Fort Kearny. The soldiers there start

slashed, scalped bodies of our dead
were found beside the wrecked, looted
wagons.
When I was thirteen my mother was
building hotel for the use of passing
gold hunters, for this was late in 1859.
when the gold fever swept America
and oil roads led to Pixies peak. Our
Salt Creek valley home lay on one OF
the most travelled routes.
Hotel building and furnishing are
not on the free list. So wanted to
help raise money for our Valley Grove
House. With an older boy named
Dave Phillips I planned a trapping
trip. Winter was setting In when we
started.
We bought an OK team and wagon
to transport the traps, camp outfit and
provisions and took large supply of
ammunition, besides extra rifles Our
destination was the Republican river.

We chose q hollow In a side hill and

We had seen no Indians on our trip

plainsmen to relax our vigilance.
There we're other foes, as we discov-

We were aroused by a commotion

KNOCKING.

From the president of the
United States down, it has be-
come a custom among people to
knock the other fellow, especially
il the other fellow happens to
stand in the way. or if they need
something to attract public at
tention in another direction.
1t seems especially to have be-
come a custom with high officials,
and in every instance when the
smoke Of the battle Of accusations
and charges Of bad conduct have
been cleared both participants
have been worse off.
II may pay to be a knocker,
but if one will stop long
enough to think, he will see that
he not only loses the energy
that might be directed in a bet
ter direction, but the things that
would have been quiet about him
are brought to light, two men
are atleast worse off as a result
of some knock administered.
The same time and energy ex-
pended in saying good things
and giving credit for right
motives would accomplish a great
deal and better feeling generally
would prevail.
