Ed Asher and George Campbell Are
TWO New Men Added to Indian
Roster by
Boyle.
ASHER rs EXPERIENCED
played for TWO Years in Central
League-BoyIe Thinks Claim on
HoIIcher is
Valid.

Ed. Asher and George Campbell,
pitchers, and Russell Eggleston,
catcher, have sent their signed con-
tracts to Manager Frank Boyle OF the
local baseball association who Is win
terfng at Waterloo, according to a let
ter received here from Boyle today.
Eggleston accepted terms with the
local club some time ago, but was not
submitted contract until last week.
Both the pitchers signed by Boyle
are good men who will in all prob
ability stick here next summer, Boyle
thinks Asher won fourteen and lost
seven games with the Ludington club
Of the Michigan State league last
summer. He is the only man so far
signed by Boyle who has had experl-
ence in a league higher than class D.
with the exception Of Giff1n. who was
here last summer. Asher pitched for
two seasons in the Central league.
Campbell is a young pitcher who
comes to Boyle highly recommended.
Despite the fact that Secretary Far
rell awarded the services OF player
Hollicher. the young ST. Louis 1nfield-
er. to the local club, the bloomington
club of the Three-Eye league threat
ems to take the matter up to the ma
tioaal commission for settlement.
Boyle, Essays the claim of the local
club on the player is valid and says
he has no fear OF the commission re-
yersing the decision of Secretary
Farrell.
Practically all the men shat have
been signed by Boyle so far are youns-
sters, who, however, have made rec
ords of very satisfactory character
and are pretty certain of being able
to win permanent jobs on the keokuh
club. With the men he now has sign
ed fur a nucleus. prospects for fast
team seem very promising. 1t is very
hard to tell from their records: now
ever what these men will be able to
do when they come here, as often the
records are incorrectly given and as
the players show up to better ad-
vantage one year than they do in an
other.

Be PRETTY TURN
GRAY HAIR DARK
Try Grandmother's Old FavorIte Re
cipe Of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded,
streaked or gray; also ends dandruff,
itching scalp and stops falling hair
Years ago the only way to get this
mixture was to make 1t at home,
which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays, by asking at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" you will get large bot
tie of this famous old recipe for about
so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another
application or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy.

Who Stays Longest
Meets lowan.

CHICAGO, Feb. appropriations
were begun yesterday for a novel
elimination tournament" of heavy
weight wrestlers, the winner to meet
Frank Gotch before the movies" for
the title of champion of the world.
Jack Herman, representing the Selis
Polyscope company, which will stage
the tournament and later will put on
the championship bout, said all the
matches will be held in private, with
only newspaper men and specially
invited guests present.
Suitable purses will be put up by
the Se1ig people, said Herman. but
there will be no frenzied finance In
this game. The matches will be abb
sclutely on the square. There will
have to be two bona fide falls or no
purses will be paid.
Drawings From Hat.
Arrangements for the elimination
contests are still under discussion,
but in a general way we know about
what we viii do. There are several
top-notch wrestlers, such as Cutler,
Mystery Hussane, Stechler. Ameri-
Gus and Others, who undoubtedly are
eligible to enter the tournament.
Probably we will give each man
number, place all the numbers in o
hat, and hold public drawing to
determine how the men will be
matched up. think that would elm
mate any monkey business by the
wrestlers themselves since the draw
ings could take place just before the
match itself"

match with Gotch, but nothing took

don't know how else it could be done,
except with a shotgun. An eastern
promoter has written to ask If we
would meet Westergaard; another
asks If we will wrestle Ordeman;
still third wants to send us against
Roller. The Mystery replies to all
these challenges that he will wrestle
any man in the world, including
Gotch. But he is not wrestling for
his health.
Finally White made the proposition
that the Mystery" would wrestle
Gotch for a purse or side bet of any
amount, winner take all; or that the
Mystery would guarantee to throw
Gotch in thirty minutes or make him
a present of $1,000. Herman ex-
pressed the opinion that no such a
match could be closed with the Iowan
and said the elimination tourna-
ment" was the only plan now con-
templated.
The elimination matches probably
will be begun in about two weeks.
They will take place in the Selig
studio, admission by invitation only.
There will be a fairly large purse for
each bout, to be split on. the basis Of
two-thirds to the winner and one
third to the loser.

who has followed the fight chatter

match will ever materialize.
