Fred Lake Will Take No Gold Bricks
From Other Managers.

Boston. Dee 23-When Manager
Fred Lake of the Boston Nationals was
seen at the Paddock building yesterday
he most eInphatically denied the story

that the Boston club will take several
of the Pittsburg players. including
Vic Willis, Phillippi and Abbaticchio.
Il intend to try to build up the team,
and will go after the younger players,
said Mr.. Lake. "The two major
leagues will have to cut the number
of their players to % to go through the
playing season, and I hope to secure
several good men in this way. rather
than depend on securing the minor
leagues.

Michigan Football Team.

Ann Arbor. Mich, Dec. 23.-Prof.
George W. Patterson. chairman of the
board in control of athletics at the
University of Michigan, which today
declared Captain elect JOY Miller of
the football team ineligible, and ad-
dressed letters of apology to Pennsyl-
vania, Minnesota, Marquette, Notre
Dame and Syracuse Universities,
Michigan's opponents in games in
which Miller played with Michigan last
season, said tonight:
LAS the matter stands, any of the
teams Michigan defeated during the
year now has the right Of protest and
may ask that the game be declared
no game or its result reversed. We
are expecting some such action.
The whole university is sick about
the business. The board, in an effort
to find some eXtenuating circumstance
or elicit some explanation from Mr.
Miller has kept the matter quiet until
today. Though Miller dsregarded our
probable the faculty will have an in
teresting session with him should he
come to Ann ArbOr'
The election of Miller as captain of the
football eleven has been repudiated. Mil
ler's letter M has been recalled and
letters of apology have been sent to the
five universities against which Miller
played because of the discovery that Mil
Ter was not enrolled in any class.

PLAYERS MAY STRIKE.
National League Players Want Extra
PAY for Extra Games.

Chicago. Dec. 23-Thc Record-He
aid TODAY saws: National League
ball players may go on a general strike
when contract signing time rolls
around. There is something more
than mere suggestion Of budding
strife behind the players side Of that
1S6-game schedule in 1910. Several
big leaguers, discussing the problem
yesterday, expressed curiosity over
their probable fate as regards salary
increases Talk Of war seemed to be
the only right and proper source Of re-
lief in the event the magnates declined
to boost the pay checks in proportion
with the extra games.

To every reader of the Journal the
American makers of Partisan Sage wish
to emphatically state that they do not
guarantee Partisan Sage to grow hair on
bald heads; because In the great majority
of cases the hair roots are absolutely
dead and not even the wonderful virtue
of Partisan Sage can resurrect them.
Sage in time before the hair root was en-
tirely dead and in such a case there is no
good reason why Partisan Sage should not
restore his hair
Bowditch, Webster & Co guarantee
Partisan Sage to remove every trace of
dandruf. stop falling hair aud itching
scalp in two weeks or money back but
they do not guarantee it to grow hair on
bald heads.
