A Progressive Century.

We are living in rapid age; an
age of progression. The world
moves and We must keep up with
it. The requirements of this rapid
age demand the most modern APP
planes, the time saving and labor
saving devices, all the products OF
the most skilled and highly cult
waited minds. Science has given us
many good things in modern medi-
cine, especially in regard to the
treatment of rheumatism, which can
now, in the great majority of cases
be most satisfactorily treated. The
American Drug and Press Associa-
ton, of which we are members, are
manufacturing q preparation called
Meriltol Rheumatism Powders, from
formula adopted by them after
medical experts had pronounced the
formula one of great merit. If you
are afflicted with rheumatism in any
of its various forms, we would be
pleased to have you try Merito
Rheumatism Powders. We are au'
thorized to sell them on a positive
guarantee. +. j. Parman, exclusive

in the Ninth Round.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, March 1S.-Ad
Wolgast, the lightweight champion, de-
cisively defeated George Memsic in the
boxing contest, announced TO be for the
champ onship, yesterday afternoon at
Vernon. There was a big crowd in at
tendance, and it was said that the gate
receipts exceeded $4,000. II was reported
that the district attorney would stop the
fight, but there was no interference.
Manager NJ. Carey of the Vernon Club an
nounced that he stood ready TO give bonds
for $4,000 that the affair was a boxing
contest and not prizehght. EytOn
refereed the bout. Memsic displayed
gameness, but was clearly ou.classed, and
Wolgast gradually wore him down.
In the first round Memsic wrestled VOL
CAST to the floor. There was little effect

effect I'm the third round and took good
lead. The fourth round was fairly even,
both landing with rights and leftS. VOL
CAST rushed Memsic and hammered him
all over the ring. Wolgast landed at will
in the sixth round, and dazed his OPP
ponent with terrific uppercut.
WoiGast sent Memsic to the ropes III

The eighth was a repetition of the
seventh. Memsic getting considerable pun

The referee awarded the fight to VOL
CAST i'll the ninth. MemsIC was too
badly battered to continue. WolGast was
altogether too clever for Mcmsic. VOL
CAST was always a 8. to l favorite in the
betting.

terday In the high schools are sure to
nip in the bud the aspirations of some
young Lajoie or Mathewson. 1t is already
known that two of the schools have lost
one or more good men on whom they
depended to do good work In the high
school series.
Mulloy Of the Y. NJ. c. A. basket ball
team has shown himself to be one Of
the most accurate goal tossers in this
section this season. In each OF the games
played against Georgetown he made five
goals out Of six tries. and In the other
games his work has been no less good.
The Carroll Institute should be able
to send some good men into the distance
runs next season, as four OF the men en-
tered in yesterdays closed run finished
well together and strong in fair time,
with very little training. Twenty-one
minutes for the distance was not poor
time. when 1t is considered that instead
of three miles, as was advertised, the
course was almost four.
The Business High base ball team is to
play the American Security and Trust
Company down on the White Lot this

Two weeks from today Georgetown will
open its base ball season with the Wash

played at American League Park, but the
burning of the stands yesterday will prob
ably interfere with that plan, and it is
more than likely that the contest will

Just what chance the collegians will
have against the professional club is
hard to tell Coach Sprigman says that
the weather has been SO bad that he has
been unable to get the proper line on his
men, and it is doubtful as to who will
be in the regular lineup. He said yes
terday that he was going to pick squad
Monday and start in, whether or not the
conditions were right for good ball play
ing. 1t was his opinion that it will be
rather disa strous to the teams chances
to wait longer for favorable weather.
Several of the local scholastic institu-
tons will start their season this after
noon by playing practice games.
The Maryland Aggies and the Catholic
| University are scheduled to start the To-
cal collegiate ball season rolling next
week when they meet at Brookland.
The Post Office team of the Depart
mental League will open its season this
afternoon by meeting the Strayer's Bust

said to have a good aggregation of ball

the clerks will have their hands full dis

who is trying out for a pitchers job

Base ball fans consumed more peanuts
last year than during any previous base
ball season. Reports from Marseille,
France, where many OF the peanuts come
from, say that the exports to the United
States increased from $S,773 in 1908 to
1871 1858 in 1910.
Bill Newashe, who was Sub" fullback

who made his successful debut as
pugilist a few nights ago. has decided
that the ring is to place for him. so he
has notified the Tigers that he will join
the squad at the end Of the month.
Manager Fred Tenney OF the Boston Ma
tionals wants to get Harry Steinfeldt, the
Cubs veteran third baseman. Chicago
wants a good pitcher, and Chance has
suggested that Mattern be traded for the
veteran. But it isn't likely that Boston
will let Mattern go.
Neal Ball. who used to perform on the
Hilltop, and who engineered famous
triple play at Cleveland in 1909, refuses
to report with the Portland. Ore, team.
and announces that he will play with a

Manager Hal Chase of the Yankees is
