MILK IN WINTER.

Why do your cows give less milk
in winter than they do in summer
Just because nature does not supply
them with grasses and green food.
But we have some to the assistan..e
of Dame Nature with B. A. Thomas
Stock Remedy which contains the
very ingredients that the green feed
supplies in season, only of course, in
q more highly concentrated form. We
guarantee that this remedy will make
your cows give more milk and better
milk with the same feed.--F.- F.

REV. BILLY" PUTS
o. ON RING GAME
Evangelist Declares There is
Nothing Wrong viii Boxing
Game When Regulated.
SAYS IT'S BULLY EXERCISE

New York, April 1.-THE Rev
Billy Sunday, the evangelist, is box.
ing as we'll as base ball enthusiast.
Talking on the ring game recently, he
said:
Nothing wrong with it. Boxing,
properly regulated, is not harmful and
does a certain amount of good. Ger
tainly won't corrupt any ones morals.
There can't be any harm as long
as they don't slug with bare knuckles,
as in the old days." added Sunday.
Boxing makes a fellow courageous,
makes him self-dependent. The boy
or man who can box isn't afraid. He
knows he can protect himself and you
never find that sort Of fellow seek
ing trouble.
Every boy should be taught to box.
Bully exercise. ! want my boy to be
able to box and protect himself. You
never heard of a good boxer going
around with a gun in his pocket, did
your No, you bet you didn't.
Il believe in boxing and all manly
sports, just as l believe in universal
military training. Good things for
the nation at large. Makes boys and
men strong Of body and mind. That's
what we want7-strong men, not weak
old fossils. Athletics keep you in
good health, That's the main thing.
And" concluded Sunday, with a
wink, II don't mind telling you that |
can handle my own dukes pretty well.
In my younger days | was somewhat
Of boxer myself, and haven't for
gotten how"

Crack at the Game Fish

MotorCyclists Will Hold
Hill-CIimbing Contest

The Omaha Motorcycle clubs hill
climbing contest will be held this aft
ernoon at ESQ o'clock. The hill Sc
leceted for the contest is located at
Third and Elm streets, three blocks
east Of the Bancroft boulevard, near
the entrance to Riverview park. No
hill on Travelled road could be found
steep enough to test the high-powered
motorcycles so hill located in deep
rayine and almost perpendicular has
been chosen. The hill is easily ac-
cessible to spectators and signs along
the boulevard win direct those who
wish to attend.
Practically all the best motorcycle
riders will enter the contest and il
unable to ascend the hill the winner
will be declared from among those
who travel the farthest distance up the
incline. The riders will meet at the
clubs headquarters in the Crounse
block, Sixteenth and Capitol avenue,
at p. m. and all entrants must be at
site Of the contest by 1850 p. m, where

Fulton and Morris Both
Show They Are FJiyverS

New York, April l4.-Aecepting the
performances OF Fred Fulton and Carl
Morris in the ring at the Manhattan
Casino at face value, it must be patent
to the veriest laylnan that neither
would have the palest ghost Of a
chance in a championship bout with
Jess Willard. This statement is based
upon the presumption that the cham
pion can attain somewhere near the
same physical condition that he en-
joyed slightly more than year ago,
when he punctured Moran's cham
pionship aspirations at Madison
Square Garden. --.
Morris showed plainly that he is
rough and trouble fighter, absolutely
devoid of science and prone to en-
ploy foul tactics. Fulton demonstrate
ed clearly that he is wanting in fight
ing spirit, ring generalship and lacks
the self-control that d prospect must
possess before he can be truly reck-
oned as . contender.
So it seems Willard still stands
alone at the head of the procession.

LEONARD'S NEXT GO
is WITH MITCHELL
New York Lightweight Rapidly
Recovering from K. o. by
Kid Grippe.
DELAYS BOUT WITH CHAMP

New York, April l4.-.Although he
is rapidly recovering from the X. o.
wallop handed him by Kip Grippe,
which necessitated the indefinite post
ponement of his proposed match with
Lightweight Champion Freddie
Welsh, it will be a month or more be-
fore Benny Leonard will be able to
go through with it. Leonard's next
battle will be the scheduled one with
Richie Mitchell at Racine on April
II. As soon as this contracted obli-
CATION is fulfilled he will meet Welsh
in his next match.
Leonard has been having a tough
siege Of illness. but he is picking up
fast now. According to his physi-
clan, he is making remarkably fast
recovery. The medico accounts for
it by his excellent physical condition,
due to boxing and systematic exercise.
1t is planned to send Benny to AT
lantic City for about week to reeup-
crate. Then he will resume training
to fit himself for the Mitchell match.
Leonard's illness has cost him heav-
lily in a financial way. Manager Billy
Gibson figures that he lost about $25,-
900 in matches which he had ar
ranged. ..
According to reports from the west,
the Mitchell match will attract a
huge crowd. Tom Andrews of Mil
waukee, who is promoting it, writes
Gibson that he and his associates ex-
pect to play" to capacity crowd.
THE advance sale already amounts
to $4,000" said Tom, "and the bout
is still three weeks Of. This indi-
Gates capacity. Interest in the match
is at fever heat and / am confident
that it will draw the record house in
this territory"

CHRIS JORDAN Is
YEARNING FOR FOE
Omaha Middleweight Cant
Find Anybody Who Is Will
ing to Wrestle Him.
BIG BOYS STEER CLEAR

Is the entire crop Of middleweight
wrestlers suffering from frosted
pedals? That's what Chris Jordan,
ex-champion middleweight, who is
now making Omaha his home, wants
to know.
For almost year now Jordan has
been trying to land a match with one
Of the top-line middleweights. He
has coaxed, pleaded, wheedled and
cajoled, but all to no avail. Nobody
seems to want to tackle him.
He has challenged Mike Yokel, Pet
Brown, Joe Carr, Weno Ketonen and
. score OF others. But nothing do
ing, none of them seek any Of Jor-
dams game. In order to keep him
self busy Chris has even had to
wrestle men weighing as high as l85
and 100 pounds and practically all Of
his recent matches have been with
grapplers who tip the scales at los
and ITO.
Jordan was once the middleweight
champion. He held the honor for
some time until Mike Yokel took il
away from him by beating him in
Salt Lake City. Jordan had previously
won victory over Yokel.
Hikes for Tall Timber.
But as soon as Yokel won the title
from Jordan he started to steer clear
Of Jordan's path and has repeatedly
refused to meet Chris in a return en-
gagement, Jordan is confident he can
! regain his laurels II he ever gets
Yokel back into a ring again.
The Omaha grappler is also trying
to land match with Ben Reuben
the Chicago middleweight. Reuben
is the latest middleweight to spring
into fame and has has become quite
fayorite in the Windy City.
Jordan issues a sweeping challenge
which includes any middleweight in
the world. He bars nobody at 1ss
pounds ringside or at o'clock the
day Of the match. The better they
are the better Chris likes them. Any
wrestler who would like to take q
chance with Chris can communicate
with him in care OF the sporting
editor of The Bee.

Lee Foil Says Six
Clubs Have Chance
To Cop the Pennant

There will be six powerful teams
in the American league pennant drive
in the opinion Of Lee Foil, manager
Of the Cleveland club. Cleveland, he
believes, will be among the six. Foil
does not think that Washington and
Philadelphia will cut much figure.
Making predictions as to how the
teams will finish is not in my line and
this is one year in which it would be
foolish for me to start anything"
Fohl said. II think, however, that 1t
will be one Of the hardest fought cam
paigns In the history of the league.
my reason for believing that Cleve-
land will be up in the race is because
the team looks so much stronger than
year ago. | am not an alibi manu-
facturer. We had accidents in 1916.
So did the other teams,
We have strong pitching staff.
Morton Is going to cause a surprise
by his comeback and am most en-
phatic in saying that / am banking
on Joe Wood to hold up his end Of
the pitching.
II shall make no effort to say how
the teams will finish, Six powerful
teams are in the circuit and every
game should be hard fought. I an
counting out only Philadelphia and
Washington. | fail to see where
Washington has strengthened. In
fact, ! think the club has been weak
ened by the failure Of Harper's arm
to come back. As for Philadelphia,
it appears as il Connie Mack had
picked up some good players, but he
can scarcely expect to finish better
than seventh"
