FOOTBALL TOO ROUGH
Pugi|ists Dodge Gridiron Game
 Because Too Strenuous.
Average Fighter Would Sooner Face Pack of Fallen Angels Than Take Any Part in the Popular Col
 Ieae Pastime.


 ''If you want to get a fighters goat just ask him to help out some team in a football game" said Bug Slattery to a party of friends the other day, writes Walter c. Kelly in the Cleve- land Leader.
 ~How's that, Bug; don't the mitt artists like the gentle gridiron pas timer" asked Harry L. Davis, who is an enthusiast on all branches of clean sport
 "The average pugilist would sooner face pack of fallen angels than take part in a football contest" answered SIattery. The professional fighter has a horror of the strenuous college sport. He does not like the roughing, and the terrific bumps that the gladi- ators of the gridiron are so accus- toned to. A fighter likes to have a single opponent, and he wants him in such a position that he can keep his eyes upon him all the time. He dis likes to have king upset him from behind, and then have dozen or more other chaps stamp all over him and wipe up the mud with his physiog- nomy.
 They brought big fighter to Buff falo few years ago to play against the Oakdales. The manager of the vis- iting team thought ,his fighter could take care of anything they would place opposite him in the game, and he went in thers> with the express de- termination to knock out his man. But he counted without his host. The game had not gone the first half before the pugilist was being carried off to the side lines by his friends. He was Sorry looking specimen, and so sore about the body that he did not leave his room for few days. That guy never tried the college sport again.
 T remember some years ago when the Detroit A. c. brought team here to play against the c. A. C.. they brought fighter named McGee with them. It was to be his job to put Sport ,Donnelly. the c. A. c. captain. out of commission. Donnelly, who was great football genius. and a fighter as well, was put wise to MT. McGee's intentions, and he watched the D. A. c. slugger closely. Along about the lat ter part of the first period there was scrimmage near the grand stand and when the smoke cleared away McGee remained prostrate on the sod while Sport was in his position inno- gently chewing his finger nails.
 T guess the fighters were never known to make success at football 2 said Doctor Kvz. They do not under stand the game in the first place. nev- CT having been trained to that sort of thing. Football is college game, and it requires different sort of tutoring altogether to develop players than what is given the pugilistic gentry. Then, too, it requires a different sort of pluck Co that shown in fistic engage ments. Football is much more strenu- ous, and far more dangerous than fighting in the ring. The gridiron hero is more daring and reckless than his pugilist brother. and the football man is obliged to train much harder, and to suffer more hardships. He needs more moral courage than the fighter"

COULD HAVE SAVED MONEY

You can save money by spending it
right. as well as by laying fl aside.
For instance there are many people
who do not buy the right medicine for
their ailments, and pay out many dol
lars before they learn just what to do.
Mrs Alex Dumas, of Malone. n. Y,
knows this row. She says a very
heavy cold settled on my lungs last
winter and for three months 1 coughed
almost constantly. At night I could
hardly get any sleep. 1 tried several
medicines but none of them did me
any good Then I thought L would use
Vinol and it began to help my cough
from almost the first dose.
II do not cough at all now. I can
sleep well and have gained much
strength, all because I took your SPLEEN
did tonic"
When YOU buy Vinol for your cough,
or to build you up, you are getting
the best remedy that can be had and
will not need to experiment with any
others. We guarantee VinOl to do you
good, and VIII give back your money
If you are not well satisfied. Kelly &
