Coach Nespor has been hard at work
with his sta1warts during the past week

accustomed to the smaller field of battle.

to be more formidable than that of last

fident that their favorites will triumph
over the Athletic club five.

up with Peddy and Kilcrease. forwards;
Massey, center; Newman and Dozier,
guards.
The lineup of the club team will be
MCGOWAN and Thomas, forwards; Major,
center; Wharton and Seals, guards.
Little opposition is expected tonight
from the Auburn team and the game will
be used to give. the regulars a good work
out.
Tomorrow evening a dance will be held
at the club and returns from the game

WAR MEASURES ARE BEING
CONSIDERED BY FACTIONS

Indianapolis, January Eff Will
liam Killifer plays baseball at all he
will play with the Federal league"
E. E. Gates, general counsel for the
Federal league. said tonight in dis
cussing the action of the player in
signing a contract with the Federal
league and subsequently signing to
play with the Philadelphia National
league team. Mr.. Gates declared that
court decisions sustain this view.
IF Killifer actually has signed a
contract to play with Philadelphia
there are but two conclusions which
follow such action" Mr.. Gates said
First, that organized baseball has
abandoned its statement that 1t would
not take back into organized baseball
a player who jumped to the Federal
league; second. that the law will pro-
teet the Federal league In all contracts
it has signed with players. and Killifer
can be ehjoined from playing with the
Philadelphia club. Both the players and
their contracts will be protected even
If it is necessary to resort to the courts
to do so. and the courts have held
that a players contract for a specific
scuson cannot be broken"
Mr.. Gates departed tonight for Chi
oago, where a conference will be held
tomorrow.

Peculiar After Effects
OF Grip This Year
Leaves Kidneys In Weakened
Condition.

Doctors in all parts Of the country
have been kept busy with the epidemic
of grip which has visited so many
homes The symptoms of grip this year
are often very distressing and leave
the system in a run down condition,
particularly the kidneys which seem to
suffer most, as almost every victim
complains of lame back and urinary
troubles which should not be neglected.
as these danger signals often lead to
dangerous kidney troubles Druggists
report a large sale on DR.. Kilmer s
Swamp Root which so many people say
soon heals and strengthens the kid
neys after an attack of grip. Swamp
Root is a great kidney, liver and blad-
der remedy, and, being an herbal com
pound, has a gentle healing effect on
the kidneys. which is almost immedi-
ately noticed in most cases by those
who try it. DR. Kilmer q Co, Bingham

bottle of Swamp Root on receipt of
Ten cents to every sufferer who re-
quests it, A trial will convince any
one who may be in need of It. Regular
