SAN FRANCISCO, July a.
Many ambitious boys in the four
round fight game are willing to
testify that Willie Hoppe is a sure
'nough tough man to meet in the
ring.
However, there's one person
who is not the least bit afraid
of Willie. and that person is a girl
-Willie's twin sister Frances, to
be definite.
Hoppe has had two or three Of

Thin Folks Who
Want TO Get Fat
Increase I'm Weight Ten Pounds
or More

increase III W elSnt len fOunuS
or More
"Pd certainly give most any
thing to be able to fat up a few
pounds and stay that way" de-
clares every excessively thin man
or woman. Such a result is not
impossible, despite past failures.
Most thin people are victims of
mal-nutrition, a condition which
prevents the fatty elements of
food from being taken up by the
blood as they are when the powers
of nutrition are normal. Instead
of getting into the blood, much of
the fat and flesh producing ele-
ments stay in the intestines until
they pass from the body as waste.
To correct this condition and to
produce healthy, normal amount
of fat, the nutritive processes
must be artificially supplied with
the power which nature has de-
MED them. This can probably best
be accomplished by eating a Sar-
Hgol tablet with every meal. Sargol

splendid assimilative agents. TAX

no means infrequent. Yet its ac-

PUT HATCHERY ON
CHAMBERS CREEK

L. N. Darwin, state game ward
en-, notified the city council today
that he had decided to establish
Tacoma's new fish hatchery on
Chambers creek, at site to be
approved by the commissioners.
The city is paying $4,000 for
the construction of the hatchery,
because the dam at Nisqually
power plant does not permit fish
to pass up and down the streall.
Darwin recommends a site on
the land of the state insane asy-
lum at Fort Steilacoom.

City to Raise
Water Rates
to Big Users

After a debate lasting two
hours, the city council today cut
Water Supt. Savidge's estimate
for new city water mains from
$153,000 to $4,000, and tenta-
lively decided to raise water rates
of large consumers.
Sayidge told the council that
trunk water mains, some of which
are rotting so fast that they can
hardly be, repaired, must be
replaced at once.
He recommended the construc-
ton of an auxiliary pipe line from
the South Tacoma Wells to Hood
street reservoir, costing $45, 900.

London, Feb. 24-Jimmy Britt, the American boxer who is touring the music halls of London, is doing spleD- did work with the wounded soldiers during time not taken up by vaude- vile. He returned to London a few months ago. after some years absence and sought a way to assist with h,s experience at training, and finally finding it when his help as a physical expert was sought. At present he is giving the cOnValescent soldiers at Endell street hospital the benefit of his knowledge as a physical culturist and boxer.

YANKEES THAWING
 OUT IN THE SOUTH
Good Weather FaVOrS Training
 More Players Join the Team

Macon, Ga, Feb 24--Four more ball players reported today to Man ager Bill Donovan of the Yankees and the practice became more or- derly, shipshape, and elaborate. The new arrivals were Schwert and Wal tors, catchers; Cliff Markle, the pitch- CT, and Don Brown. a bulky and ac- tive looking outficlder, who played With the Topeka club in the Western league last year. Herman Schaefer, the comedian coacher, and Charles Mullen, infeld candidate, are the only ones who were to report early who are among the missing
 Good training weather favored the players yesterday, and there were two sessions of labor. Nothing of conse- quence in the way of sore arms was reported following yesterdays opera tions, but few participants therein es- capped general soreness. Two more
 days such as the last two will work
 out and enable the men to make a
 good start in their Spring preparation.
 With two more catchers on hand, the large array of pitchers was able to unlimber arms to better advant- age, and there was d good deal of this both morning and afternoon, but with all hands twirling at a circum- spect pace. .. Ray Caldwell had his first practice this morning and let his Well-known wing perform with an easy sweep The morning also contained a drill for the three-fourths infield compoE-
 ed of Cable at short, Gedeon at sec ond and McGovern at first. The Cable youngster, who is short and thick set, capered with noticeable az ility and skill.
 In the afternoon the pitchers prac- ticed in squads, all but the veterans, | Heating, and Caldwell taking part. | Those two chased flies and grouno- l CTS.
 A long batting drill followed, with | Gedeon, Brown, Cable, McGovern, Nu-
 namaker, and Caldwell doing the 1 batting, and Vance Blodgett, Gay,
 Brady, Pieroy, Love, and Meadows 1 doing the pitching. Gedeon damned two balls over the left-fieid fence,
 which is a short one as boundary | fences go, but requiring a fairly long 1 drive to be cleared. Each batter ran | the bases when he hit. Then camv bunting practice for those who had
 enough pepper left, and in this Nick | Cullop again showed ntmbleness as | a fielding pitcher. He seems to be on | springs and inexhaustible and a live wire generally.
 The Yankees will carry twenty two men this year. so Captain T. R. Illus
 ton says. They could carry twenty 1 five. but one motive for the lesser
 number is based on economy and an- 1 other is founded on the belief that
 better work can be had from those
 who are retained These probably
 will be apportioned as follows: Eight 1 pitchers, three catchers. six infielders, 1 and five outfielders. Captain Huston | says this is enough for any ball club.
