Mrs. Laura Thomas, wife of DR.. J.
A. Thomas. a well known physician
of Bybee, near Newport, Cooke
county, Tennessee, is one of the
happiest women of all that section,
according to her own statement.
There is a good reason for this.
She has been very i'll with stomach
trouble for many months and the
treatment of physicians had failed
to give her relief She tried Tanlac
and Tanlac brought not only the re-
lief she was looking for but also put
her in condition to eat heartily and
enjoy life once more.
81 had suffered so and was so
weak that l could scarcely walk"
she was telling one of her neighbors
the other day. 81 had lost flesh I'M
til | fell off from 104 to only "a
pounds. Before 1 commenced TAX
ing Tanlac | could not eat anything
that agreed with me. After every
meal | suffered awful pains. | had
serious headaches and l tried all
stomach medicines l had ever heard
of, They seemed to do me no good.
was unable to sit up all day. |
couldn't even sit up long enough to
cook my husbands meals. | had to
sit in the kitchen in a chair about
half the time | was cooking. Then
my mouth began to get sore and !
water was about the only thing / |
could take without giving me pain.
Il saw Tanlac advertised in
Newport paper and decided | would |
try it. | felt a difference after TAX
ing one bottle. | tried another and !
to date | have taken five bottles.
My stomach is wonderfully improv-
ed. In fact l am eating vegetables,
meat and drinking coffee and can do
ny work with ease. l don't get tired
like | did and the soreness has left
ny mouth. l am now on my sixth
bottle and am improving all the
ime."
DR., Thomas himself is a great be-
lever in Tanlac and recommends it
o his patients. He has been a
physician for twenty years
md he declares it is one of the very
'est curatives he has ever found.
He had his wife to tell her friends
f its good to her. In one j>asAA.ce-I
letter she had written got LOST in

WENck IS ON DEFENSIVE
New York State Athletic Commits
sion Head Says He Is Victim
of a "Frame-Up."

ALBANY, N. Y, January 30.-The
defense that he was the victim Of q
"frame-up' has been made by Frederick
A Wenck, chairman of the state athletic
commission. at public hearing of
charges of attempted extortion preferred
against him by three New York boxing
bout promoters. The hearing was begun
late yesterday before a special commits
sioner appointed by Gov Whitman.
The promoters, Harry NJ. Pollok, who
was one of the states witnesses in the
Rosenthal murder case in New York !;
Patrick II. Powers and John J. White, all
were present, but only Pollok and Powers
testified for the compliments. Pollok
was the principal witness.
He declared that on November 81, 1916,
he interviewed Mr.. Wenck concerning an
effort to obtain a license for a boxing
exhibition to be held in Madison Square
Garden At that meeting, he said, Mr..
Nenck at first claimed that the promoters
lease on the garden was illegal, and
later demanded $1,000 to give his permits
sion for granting the license. Pollok
also testified that he gave Wenck q post
dated check for 500 because Wenck
told him he was terribly nard up"
Payment of the check was stopped by
Pollok, the witness said. His story of
later incidents in which the alleged
$1,000 bride was mentioned was corrobo-
rated by Mr.. Powers.

Here is what Folwell had to say con-
corning the playing of cards while on the
trip:

certainly there was. Show me the foot

not play cards and show me the success

ings 1t can't be done. That's all there
is to it.
Mike Murphy is an idol at Pennsyl-
wanna. Whatever he has done during his
life at the university is looked upon as
being for the best interests of the students
and the institution. Do you know that it
was one of his best stunts to have the
players in card games when on a trip
Bert Bell. one of the players, is quoted
thus:
These charges against Folwen are
false. There was nothing wrong done
on the trip. My father is member of
l.
know would oppose any action deroga-
tory to Folwell if he were here. But
he is i'll and down in North Carolina,
resting. He will he back in Philadel-
phia next Wednesday.
Il think that Folwell will be reap
pointed after all. Capt. ,Heine Miller and
al the payers are for him
Just what will be the outcome of the
controversy is problematical. 1t is al
most unnecessary to say that the
students will stick behind Folwell and
back him even against the edict Of the
faculty committee. In the Philadelphia
newspapers this morning there We're re-
ports of mass meetings to he called and
various other steps to be taken by men,
bers of the squad and students in order
to cause the retention of FolweH. Fol-
wells statements give an inkling of some
of the trouble, and probably the whole
situation will be given a public airing
before the end of the affair is reached.
There is little chance for comment on
such a situation until the facts are bet
ter known.

Six games definitely have been
booked for Griffith's youngsters on
their return trip to Washington from
Augusta next spring. and but two more
remain to be settled upon before the
list will be complete.

of exhibition games that will take
them to Cincinnati. the youngsters also

yet definitely decided upon. Wednes-
day and Thursday, March IS and 29,
the rockies will play at Rocky Mount.
Friday they appear in Norfolk, Satur-

Georgetown's varsity nine will open
the Nationals exhibition season here
with 4 game at the Georgia avenue
grounds Tuesday. April 8. The collie
CLANS schedule will prevent their play
ing the professionals on April 4, the
date Griffith had in mind for them, so
the. contest was brought forward one
day. Griff'S regulars are not due to re-
turn to Washington until about noon
April 3. but he thinks his men will be
in shape to play the Hilltoppers, and,
if not. or If the first string athletes
are delayed en- route, the youngsters

Griffith has refused an offer from the
San Francisco club of the Pacific Coast
League for Joe Judge, the regular first
baseman of the 1916 Nationals. AL
though Shanks is slated to guard the
initial sack next season, he will have
to show more than Judge at Augusta
to get the job. and, even though he does
start the season there, Joe will be re-
tanned for use in case Howard fails to
deliver properly or is needed to fill in
in some other position in the infield or
garden. Besides, Griffith is off that
coast league. his experiences in the
Gedeon, Ehmke and Love cases having
left sour taste in his mouth.
Walter Johnson has notified his boss
he will report whenever the word is
given. In q letter received by Manager
Griffith from Humboldt, Kan, Johnson
declares he is not in sympathy with
Fultz's walkout movement, and says
he thinks the boys will make a mistake
if they strike.

DROPPING OF BOB FOLWELL
BY PENN CAUSES SURPRISE
Faculty Committee Announces Foot Ball
Coach Is No Longer Acceptable-De-
posed Tutor Demands Explanation

Folwell, with the chairman of the fac
ulty committee and with Bert Bell. one
of the players of last years eleven.
DR.. Goodspeed, chairman of the fac
ulty committee. refused reporters any
informa ton as to the specific reasons
ing at Penn other than to say there
was no salary difficulty and if there
was that was something with which
the faculty committee did not concern
itself.
one paper today carried the follow
ing interview with Folwell:
II have known for some time that
the faculty committee was opposed to
re-engaging me as coach, but felt that
in some way the matter could be adj
justed. Now that the committee has
seen fit to make its reputation of my
name public 1 am going to stand by
my guns and fight the matter to a
finish. Had the members quietly de-
clded to dispense with my services in
a manner that would leave no room
withdrawn. but under the circum-
stances l feel that ] owe it to myself
to demand an explanation.
This is not a matter of money; the
financial matter could have been set
tied without trouble. 1t is my ambi-
ton to see Penn first in foot ball. and
1 felt that much had been accomplished
during the last season. l expected to
carry on my work indefinitely and had
already made plans for next season.
Or. Goodspeed has said that my
name is not acceptable to his commit
tee. l want to know why. and 1 chal-
lenge any man In the world to prove
that my actions during the past sea-
son have reflected on the University of
Pennsylvania in any way.
1T seems to me that | was doomed
to be ousted at the expiration OF my
contract long before the 1916 season
started. The old guard which has been
running foot ball affairs at the uni
versity for years did not want me, in
the first place. and ! have been under

BY H. C. BYRD.

The dropping of Bob Folwell. head
foot ball coach at the University of
Pennsylvania, is the most surprising
chunk of news that has come from the
collegiate athletic world in many Il
day. 1t was generally considered that
Folwe1l would return to Pennsylvania.
and at one time last fall an offl-~.l an
nouncement was made that probably
he would direct the gridiron squad for
some years to come. Things went 50
far along this line that Folwell made
a trip to New Haven with other Penn
athletic authorities in an attempt to
make arrangements Tor game with
the Dark Blue in 1918. Everybody had
at Franklin Field. following the SPLEEN
did showing of the team last fan, and
the announcement from the faculty
committee that he would not be re-
tanned came as bolt out of a clear sky
to those familiar with the foot ball of
last fall.
No definite reason has been assigned
for the dropping of Folwell. The fac
ulty committee refused to discuss the
matter, other than to say that the sal
airy question had nothing to do with
the failure to accept Folwelrs name
among those of eligible coaches. One
Philadelphia newspaper carried Il story
to the effect that the objections of the
faculty committee arose out of GER
tain actions while on the trip to Pasa-
dena to play the University of oregon.
The story in that paper said that grad
yates of Penn had written to the fac
ulty about certain things which did not
reflect credit upon Pennsylvania What
these things were was not told, though
card playing was mentioned.
All the Philadelphia papers this
morning carried long interviews with

ROWING RELATIONS sTRAINED{
Cornell and Harvard Cannot Agree
on Date for Spring Race.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, January so
Probability of break in rowing rela-
tions between Cornell and Harvard de-
veloped at meeting of the Harvard
rowing committee. P. S. Howe. under
graduate crew manager, stated after
the meeting that Cornell had invited
the Crimson to row al Ithaca May Is,
that Harvard had replied the date was
too late and suggested an earlier time
be named. but Cornell answered that
May % was the best available.
Columbia rowing authorities, &C
cording TO Howe. have offered to come
to Cambridge to meet Harvard early in
May, and as this is the time desired by
Harvard, it is likely such a race will be
arranged.
Harvard officials now are considering
an invitation from Princeton to meet
the Tiger crew at Lake Carnegie during
the April recess. This probably will be
accepted, Howe said.
