NELSON WOULD TRY AGAIN.
viii Meet Cyclone Thompson in Long
Journey and Then WOlgast.

San Francisco. Feb. 24.-Now that
the smoke of the Nelson Wolgast bat
tie has cleared, the sporting world is
devoting it's attention to the possibility
of a second meeting between the men.
Nelson has demanded another chance,
insisting he was not in form: that he
should have had a chance when Ref
cree Smith stopped the lighting. VOL
CAST agrees Nelson is entitled to an
other fight, but says the Dane must
wait upon him.
In the meantime fight fans are cast
ing about for the next fstic event. 1t
appears to be Nelson against Cyclone
Johnny Thompson.
The managers of the pair met last
night to discuss a 45-round match at
no distant date. They are said to have
virtually agreed to general terms. the
winner to challenge Wolgast. Nelson
spent the day in the baths. He left
for Chicago last night. He was much
battered about the face, but showed no
loss of spirit He says he was over
trained. On his ability to @'come back"
he said he was prepared to wager
$1,000 as a side bet. Nelson said he
would devote himself to his theatrical
engagements and later go to his ranch
in New Mexico.

Nervous
ProstratiO

"I suffered so with Nervous
Prostitution that I thought there
was no use trying to get well. A
friend recommended DR.. Miles
Nervine, and although skeptical
at first, 1 soon found myself re-
covering, and am to-day well"
MRS. D. I. JONES,
$500 Broadway, Cleveland, 0.
Much sickness is of nervous
origin. It's the nerves that
make the heart force the blood
through the veins, the lungs
take in oxygen, the stomach d.
gest food, the liver secrete bile
and the kidneys filter the blood.
If any of these organs are weak,
it is the fault OF the nerves
through which they get their
strength. DIR. Miles Nervine is
specific for the nerves. It
soothes the irritation and assists
in the generation of nerve force.
Therefore you can hardly miss
it if you take DIR. Miles Nervine
when sick. Get bottle from
your druggist. Take it all .ac-
cording to directions, and If It
does not benefit he will return
your money. -e

The Sioux City Journal says:
About the only thing the Sioux City
management didn't get that it wanted
was the opening date at St Joseph.
Even that would have been secured but
for the fact was that one of the con-
tended points of the schedule meeting of
1909 was projected into the recent meet
ing. 1t seems that in the meeting of q
year ago Des Moines did not want 70
open at Pueblo, and as a compromise
the Capital city magnates were assured
if they would open in Pueblo in 1909
they could. have their choice of opening
dates in 1910. AS result Des Moines
this year chose St. Joseph.
One of the bones of contention in the
making of the Western league schedule
is the fact that Omaha, Denver and
Sioux City are the best Sunday towns
on the circuit and the five remaining
clubs are anxious to be guests of the
three first mentioned cities on those
days.
