The firm tone OF the latter part Of the

American Team Will Compete
Olympic Games, Next Year.

New York, Dec 29.-For the first time
In the history of the Olympic games a
team of American amateur fencers Will
represent this nation at Stockholm, Swe-
den next year. This decision was ar
rived at Thursday night. by. the ON
Gals of the Amateur Fencers League Of
America in connection with a series of
bouts held in the New York Athletic
Club. In speaking of the movement un-
dertaken DIR. Graeme NJ. Hammond, pres
ident of the national association. said
that 1t marked an epoch in American
fencing. 1t would serve to establish in
ternational relations between the fenc-
Ing organizations Of the Old World and
would inevitably plade American fencers
upon a more elevated plSce in sports
than they had previously enjoyed.
According TO DIR. Hammond, he has
just returned from Washington, where
he consulted Secretary of War Stimson
and Secretary of the Navy Meyer as to
including teams from West Point and
Annapolis with the American amateurs.
Secretary Stimson was enthusiastic over
the plan, he said, and an appropriation
was to be asked from Congress to de-
fray the expenses of the team. Secretary
Meyer was Of the opinion that fencing
was on the decline at Annapolis and that
II would be unwise to send a naval team
He did not positively decline to consider
the matter. however. and the Army and
Navy teams are thought likely to said
on the Charleston when that war vessel
leaves for Stockholm. According TO Dr.
Hammond. the bouts for the selection of
the American team will be held, late IN
April, in this city. following the decid-
Ing of the national championship tourna-
ment.
In a series of lively bouts A. G, Ander-
son, the national sabre champion, was
selected to represent the New York Alh-
letAc Club in the three weapon contests

Thousands of people will turn over a
new leaf and write dry on their first
page of the New Year
To make a resolution is one thing, but
TO keep it is quite anothcr-particularly
il the one resolving is a heavy drinker
Many an excessive drinker who is bar
tering business. health and happiness
for oVer-indulgence in drink Will turn
from liquor on New Years day only to
find himself drawn back to old drinking
ways, such Il man does not drink be-
cause he wants to- but for the simple
reason that his will to quit is over
powered by irresistible craving f0r liquor.
There is a way to turn over new leaf
and keep il turned. The Neal Treatment
for alcoholism will in three short days
take from any drinker-moderate or OK
cesSiVe-all craving and desire for liquor.
The system of the excessive drinker is
impregnated with alcoholic poison
(ToXemia) that is taken on too fast for
nature to throw off and this accumulated
poison causes the intense craving and
desire tToxiCOmdnial which more drink
and then more drink only temporarily
satisfies This condition is eliminated by
our treatment which is of a purely vege-
table Anti-toXic nature with positively no
hypodermic injections.
The happiest and most profitable period
of the Yuletide to any drinking man
would be three days spent at the Nea!
Institute.
The excessive drinker needs medical
help as badly as does the typhoid fever
patient. As we'll known business man
advises:
ITO any one who wants to cut out
drink. | would say-pon't be foolish and
try and fight 1t out with all thu tor
lures of Hell racldng Your body and soul
for weeks while making the fight. TAX,
the Neal Treatment and get the alcoholic
poison out of your system in three days
YOU will then b. in a position to meet
Mr. John Barleycoru anywhere on euua
footing.
This same business man had been a
periodical drinker for ever 20 years.
He said, Now the thought of liquor
is repulsiXe.
The Neal Treatment insures happier
brighter and more prosperous New Ycai
to the excessive drinker and Il onls
takes three days to bring about this re
sult-three days-not the month or nor'
which other treatments require With nt
such cheerful results.

Athletics Will Be
Hard Team to Beat.

Frank Chance, the peerless leader OF
the Chicago Cubs, is of the opinion that
the Worlds Champion Athletics will be
invincible fer at least another year.
This statement, made by Chance re
Gently in Los Angeles, is unique IN
that so far as known he is the only
National League manager to NoIHntari-
w recognize the superiority of the
American League leaders.
THE great strength OF the Ath-
letics," said Chance, lies in the fact
that the Mack machine really has no
glaringly weak place in it's lineup
First base is the only position that IS
open to question, and | am not quail
fed to pass en- that for the simple rea-
son that | lid not have al opportunity
to see McInnis in action. If he is as
good as claimed. the Athletic infield
practically is without flaw
Just to what extent McInnis would
have increased the effectiveness of the
Athletics in the series with the New
"Stuffy" certainly made fine and
dandy record during the regular sea-
son.
MACK mas a line pltehlHS Stdht HE
outfield has shown its ability to deliver
the goods. while the catching force has
demonstrated that It is good enough for
all practical purposes. In short, the Ath-
Ietics are a well-rounded baseball ma
chine. and l believe that they are in line
for another worlds championship, and
possibly two.
Returning to the Athletic pitching
staff, | regard Bender as one of the best
beavers which the game has produced
While Coombs won from as every time
he started in 1910 he was hit hard, but
there is no dlscounting his ability
..In my opinion it will take from one
to three years for the National League
TO develop team which is capable Of
wrestling the worlds title from the Ath'
Ietics. Most of McGraw's mainstays are
corners, and New York should have q
grand team two years hence. In fact,
1t is possible that this is the team which
eventually will take the measure of the
Athletics. Although in the process OF
rebuilding. we expect to be up in the
race ourselves, while Pittsburg will bear
watching New York World, Dec. o.
