BOXING SPORTS OF ALL SORTS BASEBALL

For the first time in several sea-
sons the Cubs will be divided into two
squads on the spring training trip
this season and each team will have
several exhibition games carded
after the departure from Tampa is
made. Joe Tinker will handle one
squad and a fair guess would place
RoIlie Zeider at the head of the other
contingent.
In this way Tinker hopes to give
all his players practice in real games
prior to the opening of the season,
and he will accept Zeider's report on
the ability of some of the rockies.
Rollie is ampy qualified for such a
position of trust.
George Pierce may not be with
either team. He will be wearing a
ST. Louis Cardinal uniform if Miller
Higgins is willing to pay the salary
George now receives from the Cubs.
No sale price will be put on him. His
contract is large and Tinker sees a
chance to make deep cut in the sal
ary list by transferring the left
handler to St. Louis.
Pierce has done some good pitch
ing for the Cubs and he has also
done some work that was strictly to
the bad. He has an unfortunate
habit of ascending to lofty heights
when his mates fail in the defensive
side of the game, and his temper
causes him to lose control and eff
fectiVeneSs.
It is difficult to secure much of a
line on the Cub team. Tinker has
much cutting to do, and until he lops
off some athletes the affair is mere
Iy. guesswork. But there are thou
sands of Cub fans who are pulling
for the retention of Cy Williams, at
least as a utility outfe1der.
Cy has not the experience of Frank
Schultz, but there are critics who be-

New Orleans is now offering $45,-

Willard viii jump at the chance and
he is positive Moran will not be hard
to deal with. Moran would naturally
jump at chance like this, but Will
lard will not.
Why should Jess imperiI his title
when he can get just as much money
for going ten rounds, with no chance
to lose his crown except by a knock
out. He will reason, in this instance,
just as Freddie Welsh has reasoned
throughout his career in this coun-
try. The easy money will be grabbed
and Jess will not defend his title in
a long bout until the necessity arises.

Yuan's Bad Leg

From London Ideas.
 The most picturesque figure In the east today is undoubtedly Yuan Shin Kai who has accepted the position of Emperor of China.
 Most people know that Yuan has had an exciting and romantic life, but few are aware that an attack of rheumatism in his leg was once made the excuse for at tempting to ruin his career. This hap pened after the deaths of that wonder full old woman, the Empress Dowager, and the Emperor, in 19o0 The Emperor s brother who became prince regent had no love for Yuan, and directly he came into power he dismissed him from all his public appointments.
 X The excuse given-for the Chinese can not even cut a mans head off without going into ecstacies of politeness-was that Yuan had rheumatism in his leg, and therefore badly needed d rest.
 For most men that would have meant a very long rest indeed, but Yuan Is no or dinary man, and about three years after ward he had emerged from his enforced obscurity and become no less a person than President of the Chinese republic, with all the power, however, of an abso- lute dictator.
 The way in which Yuan Shin Kai mounted the ladder of fame before the death of the Dowager Empress was al most uncanny. Born in very humble family, he entered the civil service when quite a young man, and was lucky enough to come under the notice of the famous Lii Hung Chang.
 From that position to foreign minister was an easy step, and he was greatly ad- mired by the old Empress Dowager on account of his strong royalist sympathies at time when the first dawn of repub- licanism was awakening in the country
 Great as was the miracle of the fall of the ancient Manchu dynasty and the establishing of a Chinese republic, the fact that humble son of the people should ascend from the ruins of that re- public on to the very throne he had helped to abolish is greater miracle still

DRINEg HOT WAITER IF YOU DESIRE A ROSY cOMlPL LEXTON Says we. can't help but look better and feel better
 after an Enaide bath.

To look ones best and feel ones best
 is to enjoy an inside bath each morn
 ing to flush from the system the pre-
 vious days waste, sour lamentations
 and poisonous toxins before it is ab-
 sorbed into the blood. Just as coal, when it burns, leaves behind a cer- tain amount of incombustible material in the form of ashes, so the food and drink taken each day leave in the ali- mentary organs a certain amount of indigestible material, which if not eliminated, form toxins and poisons which are then sucked into the blood through the very ducts which are in :. tended to suck in only nourishment to
 sustain the body.
 If you want to see the glow of
 healthy bloom in your cheeks. to see your skin get clearer and clearer, you are told to drink every morning upon arising, a glass of hot water with a teaspoonfuI of limestone phosphate in
 it, which is a harmless means of wash ing the waste material and toxine from the stomach, liver. kidneys and bowels, thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary tract,
 before putting more food into the stom- ach.
 Men and women with sallow skins, liver spots. pimples or pallid com plexion, also those who wake up with a coated tongue. bad taste, nasty breath, others who are bothered with headaches, bilious spells, acid stomach or constipation should begin this phos- phated hot water drinking and are assured of very pronounced results in one or two weeks.
 A quarter pound of limestone phos- phate costs very little at the drug store but is sufficient to demonstrate
 that just as soap and hot water cleanses. purifies and freshens the skin on the outside, so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the inside organs. We must always consider that internal sanitation Is vastly more im- portant than outside cleanliness, be- cause the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood. while the
 bowel pores do.

NEWS NOTES

Anchorage is now making a strong effort to have a lot of money spent over there by the Alaska Road Com mission. It seems to want all the money of both commissions and who can blame it? It wants the money of the Road Commission to build feeders for the railroad Of the engineering commission and it will probably be a little sore if it does not get what it asks right away. No one can exactly blame Sister Anchorage for this, only it is to be hoped it's soreness will not develope into abuse of officials.

Williams, collector of internal revenue, that the Juneau of five will be abolished after Oct. h..
