Just how fast a game can the wond-

question that arises in sood; HAny
minds of local basketball followers.
The writer has talked with nearly Il
dozen people who have soen the Ger
mans perform in Buffalo. Toledo Cleve-

OF other Ohio cities and In reply TO inc
above, all state that the Germans arc
playing as fast and clever a game 70
day as they ever did. This c. calmly
speaks we'll Of their endurance, especl-
ally as 1t has been said that the usual
basketball player shoots his wad al
ter six years Of strenuous playing; II
either that the Germans have almost
sdper-human endurance or that the SIX
year playing theory has been exploded
BY taking the games played each
year by the Germans and studying LOT
moment the circumstances under
which each game was played. one can
readily arrive ut the conclusion that
the Germans are still superior to all
basketball organizations in this coun-
try. While on the road, the Germans
play practically every night and any
one familiar with basketball will know
that after playing one night. team is
hardly Mt to perform the next so 1t is
no wonder that the Germans drop
game or two each season. When a team
defeats the Germans. they are not nee

things easy in the first half. letting
Marietta get a lead Of 1913. They made

However the Germans started playing
the second half and scored II points

Marietta beat their oppohents out by

COMPROMISE AGREEMENT WITH
THE PLAYERS FRATERNITY
National League Promises There Shall
Be No Discrimination

NEW YORK. Feb. 14-Therc will be
no strike OF baseball players this year.
This ending Of long controversy was
, assured when President David l.. tuit@
of the Baseball Players Fraternity ls'
sued here the following statement:
Owing to the unfair position In
which the major league owners nave
been placed in the present baseball cons
trovcrSy between owners and players
tho fraternity has submitted TO the
owners tho following proposal:
ITO release all players from their
pledges not TO sign contracts upon the
unders landing that tho owners wi not
discriminate against fraternity players
! nor discipline them for their loyalty TO
the fraternity in observing their
pledges"
Early In the day Manager McGraw OF
the New York Nationals and President
Fultz held a conference at which the
fraternity executive said that If he was
assured that the members OF tho play
, ers' fraternity would. not be discrim-
mated against financially or otherwise
by the major league club owners, he
pledges. -.
President Tener Of the National League
and after tho situation had been cx-
| planned TO him Mr., Tener sud:
You can assure Mr.. Fultz that I give
my word Of honor. as the president OF
! the National League. that the National
| League will not discriminate. in any
way, shape or manner against any ball
player because Of his connection with
the fraternity" :
Upon receiving this statement from
President Tencr. McGraw declared to
several newspaper representatives:
II feet perfectly justified in announc-
| ing that to ell intents and purposes tho
strike Is off insofar as It affects the
National League"
When President johnson or the Am
/ erican League arrived here later in tho
day. TO attend the annual schedule meet
ing Of his league tomorrow. he was in
formed OF the action taken by President
| Tener and in reply to a query as to
whether he would give similar assur-
ances he said:
| so far as the fraternity is concern
, cd we give no assurance. All Of our

and if the men come along to their
training quarters. we'll and good. Thai

never expect to rid yourself OF the

For the chances are that you. like
thousands Of other sufferers, have been
misled into the hope that unlments,

Nj Vernon. Ohio.

This is a typical case. and everyone
who has had the slightest experience
with rheumatism will continue to SUI
fer and grow worse until they are
finally practically helpless. unless they
realize that the disease must be COM
batted at its source. Rheumatism is
a diseased condition Of the blood, the
disease attacks the body through the
blood, hence the system can be rid OF
its pain only after the blood has been
cleaned Of the germs of the disease.
Lotions, liniments and ointments, ap-
piled to the surface may In some
cases de den the pain for the time De-
ing. but until you attack the disease
at it's foundation, you are making no
progress toward a cure, and you are
permitting the trouble to get hrme-
hol don YOUR system every day. This
Is one reason why Rheumatism is
usually permanent disease. staying
withGts victims years after year. Get
ting rid Of the disease is merely mat
ter II treating it intelligently. Know
ing that it cannot be cured by exter-
nal applications, it is folly to rely upon
such treatment.

thorough blood medicine ever made.

out Of the blood. all Impurities and
cleansing it thoroughly, acting as
tonic to the entire system at the same
time. It has been in use for more than
fifty years, and thousands of sufferers
from rheumatism give it unstinted
praise.

Les Darcy, king of the Antipodcan

fa- away from the idea Of clogGirg up

demonstrate the punches he used to win
his way to Australian fame.
The junket through Eastern cities has
been one Of the most f1ivvers history
ever has been called upon to chronicle.
The reason for his failure should be
apparent and should be warning TO
other theatrical ambitions scrappers.
Folks who really are interested in ring
battlers don't care to see boxer step
on to a stage and merely go through
the motion Of till. They want to see

Anyone go popular as Darcy would

Darcy was out of his sphere when he
went on tho stage. He will have to
get the vaudeville reputation before he

than we sold in January, 1916. Our increase alone
in the sale of CAMEL cigarettes is more than the
total sales of any other brand of cigarettes tor the
period stated. We have information from reliable
sources that the WONDERFUL SALE AND

of our competitors to circulate damaging and
