Where CEILINGS Count.

The landlord was very seriously dis
turbed by the final clause which the
prospective tenant insisted upon writ
ing into his lease.
Decorate the ceiling every six
months" he exclaimed. Ridiculous,
l never had such request from any
other tenant, and many Of them have
been unreasonable enough, heaven
knows"
May be none of them was bar

ceilings of ordinary trades people
don't count for much, because no.
body is going to spend much time
staring at them. With barber it is
different.
THE average man spends good
deal of time every year looking up at
some BARRIERS ceiling, and the least
the barber can do to make it tolerable
for him is to give him something in
teresting to look at.
Il have known men to change bar
bers just because they got tired of
staring at the same old ceiling. May
be you have changed on that account
yourself before now"
The landlord consented to the I'M
usual clause.

ECZEMA SPREAD OVER BODY

Roxbury, Ohio.-"When my little boy
was two weeks old he began breaking
out on his cheeks. The eczema began
just with pimples and they seemed to
itch so badly he would scratch his
face and cause matter to run.
Wherever that matter would touch it
would cause another pimple until it
spread all over his body. 1t caused
Disagreement while it lasted. He had
fifteen places on one arm and his
head had several. The deepest places
on his cheeks were as large as sill
yer dollar on each side. He was SO
restless at night we had to put nit
tens on him to keep him from scratch
ing them with his finger nails. If he
got little too warm at night 1t
seemed to hurt badly.
1--WE tried a treatment and he didn't
get any better. He had the eczema
about three weeks when we began
using Cuticura Soap and Ointment. l
bathed him at night with the Cuticura
Soap and spread the Cuticura ONT
ment on and the eczema left. !"

champion boxer, won over Knockout
Sweeney, of Cleveland. in a six-round
go last night before the Williamsport
Athletic Club. in Williamsport. Pa.
Fitzsimmons had all the best of the
fight. and was never in the slightest
danger. In each round Fitzsimmons
staggered Sweeney with rights. lefts
and uppercuts The old boxer ap-
peared as fresh as in his prime, and
finished the fight without even a
sign of WEAKNESS. Sweeney seemed
scared after the first round and COW
cred up every time Fit zsimmons came
at him, showing a poor fight and
being Kissed for not opening up. If
he had opened up, however Sweeney
would not have lasted over one round
In the third round Fitz had a nice
chance for d knockout, and passed ii
by. Sweeney was unable to lay hands
or his antagonist, who outgeneraled
and outfought him. Again and again

President Ebbets, Jr., Will Take
No Action to Recover
Big First-sacker.

President Charles II. Ebbets, jr, of
the Newark International League
Club, announced today that he under
stood that Harry Swacina, the Tiger
first sacker, had signed with the Bal
timore Federal League Club and add
ed that he did not care.
"Swacina took advance money from
the Newark club" said Ebbets today.
But we will not get out an injunc-
ton against him. He can go his own
way. He asked for more money than
he was worth and / would rather
spend 1t on players who deserve 1t.
There are men on the Tigers worth
more than Swacina in my estimation
worth more to club in team work
and team spirit. L don't believe in
giving a man a good dollar TO get a
| bad dollar and If | gave him more
money than he deserved, other play
ers would be looking for the same
thing and couldn't blame them. We
will have a firstsacker who will fill
the job satisfactorily, you can depend
| on that.
Conflicting reports come from Balti-
more TO-DAY concerning the case of
Harry Swacina. According to certain
baseball authorities, Ned Hanlon,
who is Interested In the Baltimore
Federal League Club, refused to deny
or confirm the report that Swacina
had signed, Or had reached point
where he was about to join Otto
Knabes team. Hanlon is said to have
been peeved that the story, which
was published exclusively in the Eve
ming Star last night, should have
leaked out He accused someone con-
nected with the Baltimore Federal
League of giving out private informa-
ton in both the Swacina case, that
of Benny Meyer and also Joe Fin
neran.
Otto Knabe, when quizzed by rep
resentative of the Evening Star in
Baltimore today, declared that he had
signed big infielder. who was a hard
hitter and batted around 1925 last
season. All of these points fit Swa-
Gina perfectly. He answered ques-
tons put TO him evasively, declaring
that he had not visited Swacina on
any of his pilgrimages, but the Eve
ming Star story explained that the
correspondence had been carried on
by mail.
II was also stated In Baltimore to-
day that Fred Jacklitsch, the big
J Rochester catcher who has been dick
ering with the outlaws, as told In
these columns last week, had signed
with Baltimore, as well as Catcher
Simon, of the Pittsburgh Club.
} While it is impossible to confirm
, the reports of Swacina having taken
, any definite action beyond the an
nouncement made yesterday, 1t is be-
lieved that Knabe is satisfied with
i the terms Swacina named and that

Besides being secretary to thezNew

marvel He had complete charge of
the tickets for the Army-Navy foot

odd certificates of admission sent out
by Mr.. Foster he made just one SIN
gle, solitary mistake. That mistake
had to do with two pasteboards for
Ensign Cophart, of the U. S. S. May
rant. Mr.. Foster addressed the tick
cts to the U. S. s. Maryland. And
just as soon as the mistake was dis
covered the secretary made good by
sending the ensign a check for the
price of the ducats. Personally, we
know Mr.. Foster to be very accurate,
and for that reason we are sure of
receiving our season tickets for the

looks or his actions. He was too I'M
cerned, If anything, and. that, be-
lieve, is one big fault with the boy.
He is quick and smart, but careless,
and he goes into battle as If he
were going into a show house. Even.
the Importance of the bout last night
didn't seem ito affect him seriously,
although when he got into action
post winning one. Weinert partic-
ularly lacks vieiousness. There isn't
enough of the brute about him. He
is boy yet. with kiddish ways, and
he is inclined to be kind to his oppo-
nents, 1t is noticeable, however, that
he fights back hard whenever he is
"stung" which shows that he has the
savage stuff in him if someone can be
found to bring it out.
Weinert had the better of every
round, although Ashe made a pretty
fair showing in the ninth round
which was his best round of the mill
Weinert gave Ashe good beating in
the third round and he nearly put
him to the floor with a left hook.
Ashe was tired at the bell, and every
body looked for the Jersey boy to
come out in the fourth round and fin
ish matters. Instead, he let up in his
work, took matters easily and allowed
his opponent to recover. At times
Ashe became rough and rushed mat
ters, but outside of forcing Weinert.
up against the ropes, he didn't do any
damage. Weinert blocked beautifully
the numerous att empts of Ashe to
land his right swing, and at other
times he side-stepped or danced away
from the blow and Ashe would re-
semble one of Joe Marrone's cart
horses. The tenth round was very
fast and Weinert hit Ashe a thousand
times, it seemed. He had George
staggering at the bell, a beaten man,
and the Jerseymen present cheered
the boy to the echo at the finish.
G
Dispatches from Williamsport say
that Bob Fitzsimmons made good in
his fight with Knockout Dan" Swee-
ney in a six-round bout there last
night. Maybe Fitz did as we'll as the
story says, but 1t seems to be little
too strong to be the whole truth. One
report says:
"Fitz was in fair shape and finished
we'll. He appeared to be able to set
any pace he desired, but was content
to win hands down, making no great
attempt to knock out Sweeney.
Sweeney fought cautious fight and
vas covering up most of the time
after he had tasted Fits wallop a
couple of times. Fitz did his best
work with short jabs both right and
left, and seemed to have lots of power
behind them. The veteran stopped
several swings that looked dangerous,
but he showed no i'll effects from any
of the blows. Fltz was elated over
his showing and predicted that he
could win from most of the heavy
weights now fighting"
@
The report also has it that Fitz
weighed 1859 pounds, which of course,
isn't so at all, at all. Bob, If he
weighs pound. must tip the scale
around the 200-mark. The New York
Boxing Commission has barred Fitz,
and the court has upheld the commits
sion. If Bob is still good he will find
plenty to do outside of New York,
but, like all the big men, he wants
to show his wares near Broadway
