PEDIGREES OF PROMINENT
AMERICAN ATHLETES

The Athletic Almanac, edited by
James E. Sullivan, devotes considera-
BILE space to the athletic pedigrees of
prominent American athletes, giving
the event in which the athlete ex-
cells, the date and place of birth,
height, weight, year when first started
in athletics, etc. According to this
list Ray Ewry. the worlds greatest
standing jumper, has been competing
for % years and is still in class
by himself in his favorite events. II
also shows that Abel Kiviat, the Irish.
American Athletic club miller, is the
youngest athlete in the United States
with an American championship to his
credit.
Another important feature of this
book is the section giving the win
ners of all the different events in the
Olympic games since their revival in
1896. This should be of interest to al
those who expect to follow up the
doings of the team that will represen,
America at the Olympic games il
Sweden next summer.

people with thin, wispy hair, faded or
streaked with gray, and realize that
most of these people might have soft,
glossy, abundant hair of beautiful color
and lustre if they would but use the
proper treatment. There is no neces-
sity for gray hair under sixty-fve years
of age, and there is no excuse for any
one, young or old, having thin, stragg-
ling hair, either full of dandruff OF
heavy and rank smelling with ex'
cessive oil.
You can bring back the natural color
of your hair in q few days and forever
rid yourself of any dandruff and loose
hairs, and make your hair grow strong
and beautiful by using Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy. For gener.
atoms common garden Sage has beer
used for restoring and preserving tbs
color of the hair; and Sulphur is recog
nfzed by Scalp Specialists as being
excellent for treatment Of hair ant

the Illinois.

That George Nicholson, the Greek
demon wrestler, is still entitled to con-
sideration before the wrestling public
though he was defeated a few weeks
ago by Harry Brondell of Davenport.
is evidenced by the showing
that he made in Waterloo Friday
evening with Carl Brown, touted by
Waterloo dopesters as welterweight
champion of the middlewest, though
he never has come within five pounds
of making the welterweight limit,
145 pounds. This is what the Water
loo Times-Tribune had to say of the
match Saturday:
In the greatest wrestling match of
the season Carl Brown, the champion
welterweight of the middlewest, de-
feated George Nicholson, the Greek
demon, in two straight falls at the
Waterloo theatre Friday evening.
Brown won the first fall in "a minutes,
30 seconds with scissors on arm and
half nelson and the second fall in 16
minutes and 40 seconds with a ham
merlock.
Although defeated Nicholson show
ed his superiority over any of the
other men who have met Carl Brown
in this city. He was a great defen-
sive wrestler and he repeatedly broke
Browns strongest holds. He put up
a game battle and at the conclusion
of the bout he stepped to the front
of the stage and announced that he
was willing to meet any man in the
country at las pounds and declared
that he was outclassed by Brown, adj
hitting that the local man was the
best wrestler he had ever tackled at
his weight"
WEIGHS TOO MUCH.
Browns weight when he hops on to
the mat is usually announced at 154
pounds, or Whereabouts. His manager
refuses to let him go on at any speci-
| fed weight Nicholson tipped the
beam at $50 Friday night In order to
claim any championship honors
Brown will have to come down to 14E
| POUNDS, or else change his claims tC
the middleweight class. He has de
feated Harry Brondell and Lucas Lam
piris of Davenport, and horde o.
other Iowa wrestlers. McClary O
