WHAT'S THE USE
Sticking to a Habit When 1t Means
Discomfort?

Old King Coffee knocks subjects
out tolerably fiat at times, and there
is no possible doubt of what did it. A
Mich. woman gives her experience:
Il used to have liver trouble nearly
all of the time and took medicine
which relieved me only for little
while Then every once in while /
would be suddenly doubled up with
an awful agony in my stomach. 1t
seemed as though every time l took
a breath 1 would die. No one could
suffer any moro and live.
Finally 1 got down so sick with ca
tarrh of the stomach that I could not
turn over in bed, and my stomach did
not digest even milk. The doctor fin
ally told me that If 1 did not give up
drinking coffee would surely die.
but felt I could not give it up.
However, Husband brought home
a package of Postum and 1t was made
strictly according to directions. 1t
was the only thing that would stay on
my stomach, and I soon got SO liked
IT very much
Gradually I began to get better.
and week by week gained in strength
and health. Now l am in perfect con-
dition, and I am convinced that the
whole cause of my trouble was coffee
drinking, and my getting better was
due to leaving off coffee and taking
Postum.
"A short time ago 1 tasted some cof-
fee and found, to my establishment.
that I did not care anything about 1t.
I never have to take medicine any
more. I hope you will use this letter
for the benefit of those suffering from
the poisonous effects OF Coffee"

Americans.

Chicago, March z1.-T1e Chicago
Federation of Labor yesterday placed
a boycott on the Cleveland American
baseball team because the ball park at
Cleveland was built by nonunion labor.

instructed to communicate with Presi-
dent Charles A. Comiskey of the Chi

organized labor in Chicago has the
highest regard for Mr.. Comiskey and
the club but on account of the unfair
attitude of the managers of the Cleve-

this TWIRLER IS
A REAL "PHENOM'

Atlanta. Ga, March 24-Charles
Freine, the boy from the Pacific coast,
whom Connie Mack Is trying out down
here In the fried ham belt for a regular
position in his flock of. pennant- chas-
Ing pitchers, is physical freak. Not
that Freine possesses any physical pc
culiarities that would pull down the
coin in dime museum circuit. as he
has the regulation number Of arms and
legs and isn't thin enough to earn his
salary at the human skeletons job nor
fat enough to hit 800 as the prize fat
boy.
Freine isn't that kind Of a freak. To
the casual observer he is nothing more
or less than an ordinary human being
but, just the same nature must have
got mixed in her signals when she
turned out Feline.
One day, when she was working
overtime in a frenzied effort to I'LL a
large order of baIlplayers for the out
law leagues on the Pacific coast, ma
ture ran out of accessory arms and had
to finish UP the last OF the consignment
by hanging good all around working
fin on each side of his frame. This one
they called Charles Freine.
II was >2S years old when nature
pulled off this stunt and Frenie grew
up doing everything with equal facility,
from either the starboard or port side
of his works. When he got ready to
go out and stab the world in the face
as baseball player he couldn't decide
whether to be a southpaw or right
handler, SO he split the difference and
became both. -
Freine first attracted attention while
pitching for Santa Clara college, the
school that turned out Hal Chase. He
won nearly every game he, appeared in
for Santa Clara, and when things be-
gan to break a. little badly for his
right hand curves he would switch his
glove to his right hand and begin to
shoot 'en in with his offside paw. This
switching business always nipped any
threatened batting rally. Of the opposi-
ton in the bud, as Freine can steam
the move with just as much speed and
curves and control with either hand
Last spring Freine pitched game
against the Chicago white sox for San
jose. and let them down with six hits,
and that's some pitching for a bush
league team. stacked UP against big
league hitters. 2&
F'reine hit 1886 out in the alfalfa belt,
which Is also some hitting for a pitcher,
and is corking good outnelder as
well. Everything seems to come natur-
al to this freak of nature.

BLACK NAN in
JEFF'S CORNER

Los Angeles. Cal, March 24.--Jack
Johnson has hearkened to the rumble
Of the Langford noise. Jack, / in an
swering the I; Weymouth darkey, has
laid down few stipulations. as be-
comes the man in the dictator's chair.
Joe Woodman has already partially
complied with Johnson's .ultimatum, $50
that the prospects of meeting be-
tween the two great negro boxers are
bright
Just before leaving Chicago for New
York, johnson demanded that Lang
ford post a side bet. For answer,
Woodman this afternoon deposited
$1,000 the sum to go as a forfeit for
the: &c., 900 side bet. The remaining
$4,000 will be posted, so Woodman as

dy morning session at the Jeftries
camp that Eangford may be added to

ners during the last ten days or two
weeks of training.
The rain and slush. failed to bother
Jeff today. He was hacking away al
the woodpile as early as 8 o'clock with
oOD
under big tree with his umbrella
hoisted. After three hours tussel with
the Eucalyptus logs, Jeffries jumped
into a tub of cold water with such de-
liberation as to cause. his visitors
teeth to chatter. Armstrong gave the
champion good rundown, the stunt
giving his guests a good chance te

scalp. The unanimous verdict was
that Jefrries could fight on the shortest
kind of notice.

'YANNIGAN CANE
FROM SAM irwin

Atlanta Constitution: Maybe you
have wondered where the word yam
nigan originated, and you may have al
SO wondered who originated it. The
man who did so, is in Atlanta with the
Philadelphia Athletics. He is Sam Ir-
win. manager of. the Philadelphia yam
nfgans" tst
This word has been in existence since
1888. 1t was during the season that
Mr.. Irwin named the Reserves" as
they were then called, the "Yannigans,"
and 1t came about in this way, accord
ing TO Mr.. Irwin:
Il had a pitcher with the team nam
ed Matimore We were transforming
through the New England states at the
time. On coming into the bench after
each inning he would yell at me. oh
you Yannigan.' The name struck me
as original, and / asked him what IL
meant.
Hang IL know said he, but he
kept on using It. After the game ]
thought 1t over. and 1t struck me as a
pretty good name for my bunch OF IRE
serves I named them the Yannigans
the next day when they, came out to
the ball park. 1t stuck from that time
on, and all the other teams have used
it ever since.
Other persons have claimed the dis
tinction of originating that word, but
that Is how 1t really started
Mr.. Irwin is over 40 years old, but
is hale and hearty, and as lively as al
the youngsters over whom ne has
charge and with whom he is extremely
popular.

Minneapolis Journal: They must be

In Kansas City 10 stand for draw
match after two hours of work. Zbys-
ko and Roller put that over on the
'Kaw last night and the fans are said
to have liked it, so we'll that there
is already language flowing about
a return match. .5,-
Local followers OF the mat game are
smiling cwGR che Kansas City decision.
Locally IL had been thought that
Zbyszko would throw Roller in decisive
style. Both men have worked here and
the town picks class rather accurately.
If Zybszko was sick that might cox
plain it,, but hardly any other explana-
tion would go here. sf-'
zbyszko is peer Of Roller at the
skill of the game and his superior at
strength, endurance and weight.
zbysko, barring illness or injury,
should have won. The calling of a
match a. draw after only about two
hours of, work does not particular good
to the game Local conditions, which
the reporting agencies omitted to
mention, may have had something to
do with calling it a draw after only
two hours OF work, but IL none such
existed ait is poor way of keeping
wrestling at a high standard.
Locally, wrestling goes in straight
handicaps or finish bouts and the
grapplers are made to finish no matter
If they hang around half the night.
So unpopular did the straight handi-
caps become that they have been cut
out. A draw of this kind in Minneapo-
lis would provoke a riot. They are
kindIier on the Kaw.
