WOODS GO
COMPLETES FIGHT
CARD
North End Club Now Ready to
Entertain Local Fans on
March 20
BY William J. SIaffery

The North End club last night COM
pleted its fight program for this month
by matching Tommy Woods, the light
weight champion of the club, and
frankie Edwards the Oakland light
weight. who has had his ups and downs
and his ins and outs in the fistic arena
for the last few years. The boys will
meet at 1873 pounds at o'clock and
will go Is rounds. with Gus Koster
of the Mission club as the third man
in the ring.
Woods is looked upon as great man
by his admirers on the beach. He has
not been, lighting much for the last
two years. His last great showing
was when he beat Paul Martini, up to
that time the peer of all the amateur
lightweight boxers. Woods has never
fought a professional fight.
He is not only a clever fighter, but
he Is also possessed of good wallop
in either hand. If he is successful
in his go with Edwards, Woods Will
blossom out and go after the best of
them. If he is beaten decisively by
the Oakland man the. chances are that
he will let the professional fighting
game alone. for he does not have to
mill for a living.
As it stands now the North End
Is round bouts. Maurice Sayers and
Lew Powell will furnish the. main
event, Monte Attell and Harry Dell
are carded as the next best pair and
Woods and Edwards fill out the card,
which will be decided at Dreamland
pavilion on the night of Friday,
March 26.
Eddie Madsen. the clever little local
lightweight, who so bravely withstood
the rushes of Battling Nelson when the
champion was training to fight Joe
Cans. is looking for. action. Madsen is
a classy boxer and the local clubs might
do far worse than give him chance.
He always has shown a disposition to
tight fast and he is we'll liked by the
fans. In the event that either Woods or
Edwards falls down in the coming fistic
show MadSen will be on the job to VOL
unteer his services. All he asks is a
class. He has not fought here in some
months He has been working steadily
and is in good shape to mix 1t with any
of the lightweights;.
From New York comes a mournful
trying to get away with another chaI-
lenge TO Nelson. Some of the eastern
sports may fall for this stuff, but the
san Francisco fans will only laugh at
the champion run out artist of them all.
He could not get d fight here with Gyp-
sy Ed or Durango Bud. Packey is billed
to entertain Leach Cross in 10 round
setto before the Fairmont club of. New
York soon. 1t looks very much as
though he will be forced to conflne him
self to the. east and take whatever they
slip him. AS for Nelson, the chances
are that the great lightweight champ
will not look at Mcfarland. Why
should. heo

Sends His Lawyer to Arrange

Who Ignores Appeal

NEW YORK. March 10-James j.
Jeffries today received an invitation
from Jack Johnson to meet him in the
office of Johnson's attorney in this city
to arrange a fight. The invitation was
handed to Jeffries by an attorney for
Johnson as Jeffries appeared in mag

violating the penal code by sparring

performance last night The note was
as follows:
John H. Johnson. the worlds heavy
weight, desires me to inform you that
he will be glad to meet you at my
Office to complete arrangements for a
contest between the champion and
yourself"
Jeffries would not comment on the
note.
The charge of violating the penal

eSSary to sustain our bodies.
The disease is caused by an &-
cess of uric acid in the blood,
which gets into the cir
culation because of indi-
gestion, constipation, weak
kidney action, and other ir-
regularities of the system,
which are sometimes consid-
cred of no importance. This
uric acid produces an inflamed
and acrid condition .of the
blood, and the circulation, in
stead Of nourishing the differ
ent portions of the body, con-
tinually deposits into the
nerves, muscles, joints and
bones the irritating pain-pro-
ducing acid with which if is
filed. Then follow the pain
full and torturing symptoms of
Rheumatism. The very life
and vitality of the blood is
being destroyed by the uric
acid poison, and every muscle,
nerve and Sinew of the body
suffers in consequence.
We do not claim for

more than a frst-clasS blood

applications, often Temporal

enough to use them for the

course can have no permanent
