HORSEMEN ARE
STILL HOPING
Labor Day Races May Open
Sport in Chicago.

The Hawthorne race track has been
narrowed. scraped and rolled to such
an extent during the last ten days that
the famous race course is now in as
fine shape for the thoroughbreds as it
was in the days when running races
were in their glory, some five years
ago In fact, it looks as though the
owners of the track have anticipations
beyond the one days card planned for
Labor day. Former Alderman Tom Car
ey says he will have a classy bunch
of horses on the program for this out
ing.
Owners, trainers and Jockeys that
came through Chicago yesterday for
the ingalls, park meeting are elated
with the thought that perhaps this one
days card may be the wedge for a fall
meeting. Carey does not commit him
self as to his intentions in the matter,
although it is costing him several thou
sand dollars to rehabilitate the build
ings and grounds. He offers free stable
room for horses from now until winter.
John J. Britain, chairman of the la
Dor committee under the auspices of
which the day and night outing is be-
ing given. with Mr. Carey and Elton
Lower of the Chicago Automobile club
will meet the heads of the leading au-
tomobile interests today and complete
plans for the auto races.

KETCHEL CONFIDENT
HE'LL STOP LANGFORD
Says He'll Whip Middle
weight in Jig Time, and
Then Trim Johnson.

San Francisco, Aug. 24.-Stanley Ket-
chel, who arrived today from Point
Arena, and looks as if he had been
gaining two or three pounds day ever
since he left San Francisco, takes is
sue with Jack Johnson on the question
of his coming battle. When 1e heard
that Johnson disapproved of his match
with Langford in New York, fearing
that he might be beaten and thus spoil
the Ketchel-Johnson contest, Stanley
merely laughed.
The only way I can account for such
a statement from Johnson he said, lis
that he wants to save one of his own
race from a grand trimming. Johnson
knows I can lick Langford, and do it
in jigtime, too. He also knows that
there is no danger of the Portola
match being injured by my trip to New
York. If Jack thinks he can put the
fear of the race in my heart by talking
about Langford he is mistaken. The
match at the Fairmont club will prob
ably be pulled off Sept. Is, after which
will scurry right back here and get
ready for Johnson. He has a good
trouncing coming. and I intend TO be
the one who gives it to him
Ketchel and Willus Britt plan to
leave for New York tomorrow morning
arriving there on Sunday. This will
give the Michigander fifteen days in
which to train for Langford. which
with his rest in the mountains. should
be sufficient Should he return imme-
diately to San Francisco he will have
nearly a month to prepare for the bout
with Johnson. AS there Will be nc
weight to make for this event a month
should be more than sufficient for Ket-
chel to get himself into championship

been secured from end to end by
agents of this big show in search
of novelties and the result is per-
Torrance brim full of sensational
acts new TO the circus world. In
the big Barnum & Bailey show are

RADlUM'S TRIUMPHS.

The great drawback to the use OF
radium has been that while it gives
heat, light and electricity, the skin is
burned in handling it. The least
touch burns the flesh.
But it has just been demonstrated
at the university Of Michigan in a
series of experiments that radium has
the power to convert ordinary well
water into mineral water having the
most wonderful medicinal qualities,
and this water injected into cancers
stills pain almost Immediately and
has relieved several sufferers from the
morphine habit.
AS this discovery is vouched for By
the faculty Of this well-known univer
sity 1t adds another to the great tri
umphs Of the wonderful metal.
