Red Cloud Franchise;
Money to Go Ahead
Committee Has Raised Four Thousand
Dollars to Start with and

YORK, Neb.. Feb 0-tspecial 1T looks
very much as n York viii play ball in the
Nebraska Base Ball league. At a recent
meeting York was elected a member Of
the state league and Yesterday the commit
tee appointed to secure subscriptions re-
ported that It had raised 5000 with ease.
Ministers assisted and attended meetings
and il seems as II every one helped or
wanted TO held.
The fans here are now looking for a play
ing manager and arrangements will be
made to contract for players. Negotiations
will be at once put under way to buy
the franchise OF the Red Cloud team and
its players and 1t is probable that the
committee here will be pleased to entertain
propositions from ball players who wish q
tryout or get on the team here.
Regarding the base ball situation here ii
Is believed when the ball season opens and
York has a team that Il will win a fair
per cent Of the games. York promises to
be one Of the best base ball towns in
Nebraska. Yorks geographical location
makes Is more convenient for other teams
in the league to come to York and play
ball and less travelling expenses for the
York team.
The East hill base ball grounds is being
considered as a park. Another more CEN

SKIN DISEASES
HUM0Rs IN THE BLOOD

Nature has made ample provision
in the moisture and sunshine Of the
air for the outward protection and
healthy condition of the skin. But
the more important work OF nourish-
ing the cuticle has been left to an in
ward source-the blood. 1t is from
the circulation that the pores and
glands receive their stimulus, and
the fbrous tissues are all preserved
in a healthful state because of con-
slant nutriment supplied by the blood.
1t is only when the circulation be-
comes infected with humors or acids
that we are troubled with skin affec-
tions. The humors producing these
troubles are carried through the cir
culation direct to the skin, and their
irritating or infammatory effect re-
mains until the blood is cleansed.

HackenSchmidt Fails

NEW YORK, Feb. tO.-In ninety minutes

Russian lion, failed TO throw Stanislaus

den last night and the match went to the

zbyszko twice in an hour and hair
Hackenschmdt was the nggressor IN the
early part OF The bout and the tasteI'
cleaner workman of the two. but Aoys1ho
great weight began to tell with every ad-
ditional minute and at the finish he seemed
the stronger of the two.
The weights were given on the program
as fackenschmIdt 30 and zbyszko 20
but experts thought the Pole weighed at
least ten pounds less, In spite of his huge
bulk. Hackenschmidt twice, heaved him over
his shoulder and slammed him to the mat
with all bis force. The shock shook the
Pole heavily, but did not, lessen his
strength. rFt EG
For the most part zbyszko chose chance
hold and Hackenschmidt found difficulty
in working loose from it. At other times
the Pole tried Frank Goteh's favorite toe
hold but Hackenschmidt, with his tre-
mendous strength, repeatedly broke 1t by
driving his leg back like piston.
Whenever Hackenschmidt got half Mel
son, zbyszko broke It by Tipping back
sOmersault For perhaps half the period
they were off the mat.
Towards the close Of the bout Zbyszko'
who had been on the defensive, took the
aggressive and continued to show the
stronger to the end. His, work was rough
and sometimes drew the disapproval Of the
crowd. He butted with his head and
