JOHNSON PULLS CUM
BRA WI WITH LANGFORD

Although the fact was not blaz-
oned forth at the time, Pittsbufg
came close to having the honor of
being the scene of a furious battle
between the worlds champion
heavyweight, Jack Johnson, and
Sam Langford. This near battle
took place in a room of well
known negro club the night before
Langford knocked out Mike
Schreck. Johnson was the one to
crawl, and he made a movement to
draw revolver. Adam Mann, a
county detective, disarmed Johnson.
This interesting bit of history
came to light last night, when
Woodman Langford and McCarey
were chatting in McCarey's office.
For Johnson's sake we had de-
cided to keep this matter quiet and
had requested our friends in Pitts
burg to do likewise. But Jack has
been yawping about Langford, so

Resourceful Clark Griffith, lead

end is doing his best to make
Bescher bat left handed.
Griffith sent Bescher n batting
device which originated in the fer
tile brain of THE Fox" with Or
ders to stand up and whale away
from the south side by the hour.
The device consists of a regula-
ton league ball, sewede inside an
extra cover, otwhich stout rubber
cords are attached. One of the
cords is fastened to the ceiling and
the other to the floor, so that the
ball swings about waist high.
When struck the flexible cord
permits the ball to swing several

yards and it returns with great
speed. Then it is time for the bat
ter to get busy with the club and
soak the sphere again. 1t surely
promises large things for the bat
ting eye.
Bescher, who is big, strong fell
low, is naturally left-handed, but
unfortunately he was coached to
bat right-handed when a kid, and
has swung from the far side of the
plate ever since. He is SO fast that
he would beat out many an infield
hit batting left-handed, and he has
the strength in his left arm to do
it, as soon as he gets accustomed
to the shift
! Griffith has ordered Bescher to
| bat from the left side only with
the new machine, and says he is
confident he will have wonder
in the youngster when the season

that had kept up for several years.

Of any kind"
The above Is an oft-repeated story.
Troubled for years with chronic ca
tarrh. Tried different remedies and
doctors to no avail. Peruna was adj
vissd by friends. Instant relief expe-
rienaed. Great gratitude to Peruns
expressed. This, in brief, is a story
that is repeated to us great many
times every year.
No one could be in touch with our
vast correspondence for one month
without being impressed with the sim
certify and truthfulness of these kind OF
testimonials.
Peruna promptly produces an appe
tite, corrects digestion and relieves
stomach difficulties that have resisted
other treatment.
