Of American Sport Which Did (

NEW CHAMPIONS SPRING UP

list OF TRAGEDIES LONG

With the exception Of professional
base ball, sport of every kind, anna
teur and professional, indoor and
outdoor, enjoyed a phenomenal de-
gree of prosperity in the United
States throughout the year of 1915.
The absence of international COM
petition due to the current Euro
pean war lessened the interest Of
american sport followers to a small
degree in a few branches of sport,
but despite this fact American sports
and pastimes engaged more atten-
tion to a greater degree than ever
before in the history of this country.
New champions sprang up. sur
prises were many and frequent and
a trail of dead ones are noted in
the wake of the passing twelve
month.
In practically every kind of competition
The number of aspirants for honors was
Greater than ever before. Several sports
over which the public had once held
last rites came back with vengeance
and once again attained a place In the
spotlight.
Many Pass Away.
The year of 1915 also saw the passing
of many prominent figures in the world
of sport. The number of fatal accidents
VS. extraordinarily large and the num-
per of prominent leaders of sport who
died through other causes was great
The most surprising shock Of the year,
perhaps, was the tragic death of Lincoln
tlseachey, who was the greatest of all
bird men. Beachey came to his death
while giving an exhibition at the San
francisco exposition on March IA.
Automobile racing exacted an unusually
large toll during 1915. Harry Grant, Billy
Garrison, Joe Cooper, Charles Cox, Clar-
hnce King. Richard Clarke and Dane
Francis are numbered among the promi-
hent motor drivers who were killed on
Fhe track Motorcycle racing also re-
suited in a number of tragedies.
Two, Die in War.
The European war caused two deaths
in the ranks OF prominent sport figures.
pohnny Poe, the great Princeton quarter
back. and Anthony r. wnding. tennis
champion, are the men whose lives were
snuffed out by the enemies shrapnel
Less tragic methods of death also called
amany other prominent sportsmen from
this world during the last year. Robert
d. Ward. president OF the Brookfeds and
pne OF the leaders of the Federal league,
passed away on October Is. Wallace
bray, better sl1nown as Happy Hogan. a
famous base ball manager; Tim Hurst.
one of the best known umpires; Bull"
Perr1ne, another we'll known umpire;
Mark Hall. former Rourke; John HERES
hoff, the most successful yacht builder
the world has ever known, and Albert
g. Spalding, base bail pioneer, are among
the most prominent.
But despite this tragic side sport in the
UNITED States prospered to superlative
degree and the year of 1915 can be
chronicled as the greatest In history.

The year OF 1915 will go down in the
records of professional base ball as one
of the most disastrous in history. But

SHARP REPLY TO BE SENT.

Washington, June ia sharp rejoin'
der is being prepared to the Carranza
note. 1t will repeat the determination
of President Wilson to keep American
troops in Mexico until the Carranza
forces have shown their ability and in
tention to properly police the border
states. 1t is also to rebuke the de facto
government for the suggestions and
statements in its note, its questioning
the good faith OF the Washington admin.
istration. Some officials regard parts of
the note as insulting to degree not to
be tolerated, and if their advice is fol-
lowed its author will be called TO sharp
account
Secretary Lansing has had before him
a mass of data dealing with the asser-
tions of fact set up by the Mexican
note. He expects to be able to refute
most of these statements, and the daily
crop of messages from Mexico telling of
new disturbances will supply additional
evidence that the de facto government
does not in fact exercise the control it
claims over the boarder states.

SPRING MEDICINE
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the Great Blood Pu
rifer, Is the Best

Spring sickness comes in some degree
to every man, woman and child in our
climate.
II is that rundown condition of the
system that results from impure, impov'
erished. devitalized blood.
II is marked by loss of appetite and
that tired feeling, and in many cases by
some form of eruption.
The best way to treat spring sickness
is TO take Hoods Sarsaparilla. This old
reliable family medicine purifies, enriches
and revitalizes the blood. IL is an all
the-year round Alternative and tonic, and
is absolutely the best spring medicine.
Get your blood in good condition at
once-now. Delay may be dangerous.
Ask your druggist for Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla, and insist on having it, for nothing
else can take its place.-Adv.

A Desert Honeymoon in three parts.
with Romaine Fielding depicting how
out of the East came a young man,
cleanly fashioned and nobly made,
answering the call of the deserts
waste that pioneers have responded
to from time immemorial.
On the deserts rim, the moral
youth, whom we had known as such,
tastes of the bitter fruit of the cautus,
a plant of death, and as the poison
gurgles madly through his veins, he
meets with Chiquita. a Spanish dane
er, and the quiet, sane youth Is
turned by this foreign incense into a
mad animal, bent on lust.
The girl of his boyhood dreams
comes into the West after her moth
er's death to wed him, and finds the
wreck of a man, the shell of the
youth she had known and loved.
The story is an old one, but a true
one, to those who have lived and paid
the price of the many desert money
moons which have gone before.
