- AN FRANCISCO, CAL, Feb. o.
The Olympic Athletic club. Of San
~ Francisco, which was the alma
mater of such world famous boxers as
Jim Corbett and Jimmy Britt is now
somewhat excited over the 1acU LnaI II
has produced another ring man who is
likely TO make as big spiurge IN the
professional pool as his ilustriOus
predecessors.
Bob McAllister is the youths name
and he has already distinguished him
self to the extent OF winning the "a
cific coast championships in the middle
and light heavyweight divisions
Resembles Joe ChOynski.
He is fairly tail with slOplnE shout
ders and has not yet turned the 70
wear mark. Some Of the club men think
ne bears considerable resemblance 10
the Jim COrbett OF % years ago, but
10 the writer he brings thoughts Of
Joe ChOynski when the latter was a
cub heavyweight
McAllister's last engagement was
with Tad Darbyshire, amateur heaVy'
weight champion Of the northwest. VINO
was brought here from Portland, Ore,
by Tom Tracey to compete In a tourney
a. the OLYMPIC club.
The Things McAIlister did to Darby
shire were outrageous. The nOrtherner.
although he had accounted Tor every
thing of heavyweight dimensions IN
his own baiiiwick, was as putty in the
hands Of the Olympic crack The AFFAIR
was so wOefully One-sided that Tracey
scrambled w the platform stairs after
a few rounds and acknowledged de-
feat for his man
Professional Bee Is Buzzing.
Now AIcAllister has the professional
bee buZzing in his bonnet. The fellows
who want to make JOurneyman night
OF of him have pointed out to him that
there are no sew worlds to conquer
in the amateur line. They have I'M
pressed upon him that various experts
have pronounced him a better man than
snv Of the middles or light heaTies box
ing for a living today and they have
urged upon him that he Is neglect1ng
his own interests by hesitatlng about
embarking IN a business WnIcn prom
fses such good rewards.
COrbett Finds Weakmesses.
While poor Bob was in the throes OF
indecisiOn Jim COIbet came to town
The Olympians promptly arranged an
exhibition spar between McAllister and
one Joe Herrick and invited COrbett TO
attend OF course the idea was to have
Corbett pass upon McAllister's merits
The test took place and COrbett was
genuinely enthusiastic over McAllls-
Ter's work At the same time Jim
checked the ardOr of the Olympians TO
some extent by pointing out weak
POINTS in their latest idol He instanced
that McALister Keeps his head too
erect while leading to his adversary.
IF he becomes a professional and
fails to correct this habit il viii get
him into trouble" said Jim. mo mat

sunny side Hitters at Beaumont.
Beaumont enters this years race
with a strange team OF uncertain
strength. The PECULIARLY OF the OlleE
team is that there are seven demanded
batters on the list. Since Red DoWney
has been bought from Austin the out
fielders are all sunny side myers, 5 1osH

hitters-
righthanders this combination might
work beautifully, but every manager
on the circuit plans to retain at least
two Iefthanded pitchers Beaumont ought
to have hard going. Nevertheless, the
team is an excellent one, and has some
good pitchers.
Good Pitchers at san Antonio.
At date. san Antonio has four good
pitchers and not much else. The SLAB
men are Browning Goodwin. Daven-
port and Ayres. StinsOn IS new man
aver in this league. The team VIII pc

thought that StinsOn will bring many
Of them with him.
Manager Joe Gardner, Of Dallas, has
a fine string of recruit catchers, a good
Outfield and half an infield IN IulIos

Duncan. Wilson and StOrch- The new
catchers are Kitty Basham, Jackley'

Altogether the material in the league
is good. Not so many players were lost
last year by purchase and draft as was
the case in former years. The club
owners anticipate q good year because
of the general prosperity in the state
and the increasing interest in the game.

Enthusiasm for the Tango dance
has taken hold of Topeka society, and
the members of the dancing classes
can be seen practicing in their houses
whenever the curtains happen to be
left up. Any evening when four or
half a dozen of them are together,
they put the Victrola into action, so
that no one will have to drop out of
the dancing circle to furnish the music.
This rage for the new steps is bound
to necessitate the construction of some
different skirts for the women dane
ers, and some new designs in dancing
dresses have been evolved and are be-
ing used in other places. Now that
Topeka has taken up the Tango some
two or three years after it has been
danced elsewhere, the women will
probably adopt suitable apparel soon
er or later. Some of these skirts have
slashes, while others are made in
trouser effects, with draperies which
partially conceal the divided skirt.
With each of these styles a petticoat
which allows of equal freedom is
necessary and to this end manufactur-
ers have brought out extreme styles in
the form of trousers petticoats. These
AMI have loose trouser legs which fall
in petticoat effect when the wearer is
in repose. Retailers who have offer
ed these models say that they have
been accepted by a number of their
customers, who are wearing these di-
vided skirts, not only with dancing
frocks, but also with the narrow street
dresses now in fashion

MEAT is BAD
FOR KIDNEYS
Take Salts at first sign of Bladder
Irritation or Backache.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says wel1-known authority,
because the uric acid in meat excits
the kidneys, they become overworked;
get sluggish, clog up and cause all
sorts of distress, particularly back
ache and misery in the kidney re-
gion; rheumatic twinges, severe head
aches, acid stomach, constipation, tor
pid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and
urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or
kidneys aren't acting right, or if
bladder bothers you, get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any good
pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
mbined with 1ithia, and has been
used for generations to flush c1ogged
kidneys and stimulate them to normal
activity; also to neutralize the acids
in the urine so it no longer iritates,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men
and women take now and then to
keep the kidneys and urinary organs
clean, thus avoiding serious kidney
disease.-Adv.
