fat should try eating a little Sargol
with their meals for awhile and note
results. Here is a good test worth
trying. First weigh yourself and
measure yourself. Then take Sargol
one tablet with every meal for
two weeks. Then weigh and measure
again. 1t isn't question of how you
look or feel or what your friends say
and think The scales and the tape
measure will tell their own story, and
most any thin man or woman can
easily add from five to eight pounds in
the frst fourteen days by following
this simple direction. And best of all,
the new flesh stays put
Sargol does not of itself make fat,
but mixing with your food, it turns
the fats. sugars and Starches of what
you have eaten, into rich, ripe fat
producing nourishment for the tissues

assimilated form which the blood can
readily accept. All this nourishment
now passes from your body as waste
But Sargol stops the waste and does il
quickly and makes the fat producing
contents of the very same meals you
are eating now develop pounds and

Cutter Wants
TO Whip Jess
Bitter Feeling Causes a
Challenge to Willard.

CHICAGO, Nov. 12.-Bitter feeling
between Charley Cutter and Tom
Jones, when the latter took Jess Will
lard from the Chicago wrestler, has
widened to such an extent that it not
only cost Jones a few punches in the
face, but today threatens Willard.
Cutter, whose athletic profession is
wrestling, but who says he knows how
to fgmt and that he taught Willard
all he knows about the glove game,
today hurled a challenge at Willard,
and is ready to step into the ring at
any time.
Il want to give that fellow Willard
a licking for his ingratitude and if he
don't accept now, I'll challenge him
from the ring Monday night at Mil
waukee, where he is to box George
Rodel,' said Charles. Il have no hope
of becoming a white hope or a Aghter
but l do want to give Jess a licking.
Cutter brought Willard out and just
as Jess began to gain prominence,
Jones slipped in, whispered some
promising words to Willard, and the
big fellow hiked westward and mes
tied under the wing of Jones. That S
the rub.

Until the Y NJ. c. \, officials can
decide upon d regular basketball
evening. none OF the teams can pro-
coed to arrange their schedules for
the present season. II had been prac-
tically determined 10 have the games
on Saturday evening. but it has been
found that business men OF the city
cannot support the teams unless
games are played on some other eve
ming.
While it could be readily arranged
for the teams to have the gymnasium
floor on other than Saturday evenings.
most of the teams that could be
brought here wOuld much prefer To
have the games played on SATURDAY
evening. II is thought that since the
merchants OF the city have signified
their Willingness To stand behind the
association teams that the schedule
will be arranged so that they can at

INDIANAPOLIS CLUB
MAY CHANGE HANDS

RumOr About Indians At

sideration.
NO ACTION is TAKEN

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov 12.-Just
National Association of Baseball
Leagues will take on the demands of
the baseball players organization, is
a matter of conjecture. Some of the
magnates yesterday were of the opln-
ION that the demands would be re-
TERED to a committee while others
we're strongly of the belief that they
would not be presented at all.
Rumor still has it that the Indiana
polls American Association club is go
ing to change hands. All the parties
interested refused to confirm the re-
port. There was considerable talk of
arranging for a post season series of
games to be played between the clubs
of the American Association and the
international league.
Minor league baseball men are Of
the opinion that the Central league
has greatly strengthened it's standing
in baseball by refusing to expand
next season. Rumors that Youngs-
town and Erie of the defunct Inter
state league would be taken into the
fold proved to be nothing but rumors
The league will again be composed of
Dayton, Fort Wayne, Springfield, Ev-
ansville, Grand Rapids and Terre
Haute with thes anne men controlling
the clubs and thes anne men handling
the executive reins.
The Sentral league has always had
pretty fair standing IN baseball, but
it was never as well thought Of as
now The Big Six circuit showed last
year that six clubs make good Glass
B league, and the determination of the
ter, has given other leagues conf
dence in the Central. Constant shift
ing of clubs has in the past never
done the league much good The mis-
take of expanding to twelve clubs in
1912 made the league a dead one for
the time being, but the way the cir
cult was handled this year has put
it back on the map with both feet,
and the stand taken against another
expansion has brought forth favorable
comment on all sides.

Sheldon came to |. Z. as coach
eight years ago after starring as end
for Chicago University under Alonzo
Stage. Under his supervision the
teams of the state university at once
began to command a prominent place
in the Middle West. The team this
year played in exceptionally hard luck,
winning only one game on its schedule
but Coach Sheldon is just as popular
this season as ever before.
The coach did not wish to come
back to Indiana this year but in the
end did SO with the understanding that
this would be his last year in the
work. The resignation came as a sur
