TOLL OF CRIDIRON
Twelve Players Killed During
the Season just Closed.
Most of Deaths Traced to I'm
proper Training.

Chicago ILL.,, Dec Football ex-
acted a toll of twelve victims durinS
the 1917 season which ended with
Thanksgiving day games, according to
reports to the Associated Press today.
The number was six less than 1916
and four less than two years ago. In
1914 there were fifteen deaths.
Defenders of the game pointed to
the fact that not a fatality nor a serj-
Gus injury occurred in the big uni
versities and colleges where the game
is conducted under expert physical
direction.
All of the victims, with oNe excep-
ton were either high school students,
or players, who with little or no train
ing participated in semi-professional
games. A majority of the cases show
ed that the players entered the game
without proper knowledge of it and
without proper physical condition for
so rough a sport.
Game Not So Rough.
The open style of play. instead of
the smashing game which rapidly is
being discarded, has eliminated much
of the danger, in the opinion of Fred
L. Murphy, former Yale star now
coach at Northwestern university The
players, he said, also are better pro-
tected thru improved heavily padded
uniforms and headgear.
A. A. Stage, the veteran coach at
the University of Chicago, said that
universal physical examination and
training of high school students would
reduce materially the number of foot
ball deaths. Some of the larger high
schools now require examination of
all athletes, but, he said, the practice
has not been put into effect in smaller
cities

Sport Wheezes
BY uUG-

Altho the college football season is over,
the army teams are expected to continue
to play games just as long as the weather
will permit. And army men seldom permit
the weather to interfere with anything they
want to do.
Nothing definitely has been decided
about the Washburn Ambulance corps
game that Ichabod authorities are trying
to arrange, but all local fans are hoping
to come here today.
And equally as many fans are hoping
that a game will be arranged for Topeka
between the Camp Funston and Camp
Donfphan teams. On the Funston team
there are some of the greatest players
who ever wore moleskins and among them
is "Posty" Clark Sport lovers from all
over the state would attend a game of this
manner ana Toul2 9 % SeE sTIa MAKE any
Coach Schultz, of the Kansas Aggies,
who offfciated in the Army-Navy game in
was in Topeka Thanksgiving. that he never
saw better exhibition of the pigskin
sport than the land and salt sea fighters
put up, and it is almost a certainty that
the Doniphan men would make things as
interesting for the Funston eleven the
be the added local interest in such a game
that players like Pete" He'll and Pinky
Beals would give.
JOCK Mcbride, former Topeka soccer
football star who is now in the Canadian
army, writes that he is working harder
and playing soccer harder than he ever
did in his life. Il had not been here two
days when they put me in at left fullbaek
on the company soccer team" Mcbride
writes, land we sure have been. doing some
hard playing"
Altho it is Canadian unit, Mcbride
says 80 per cent of the men in his company
are from the United States, claimin g
homes all the way from New York to
Frisco. He says all the men are expectin g
to sail between Christmas and the new
year.
According to the dope Jack Holland and
John Savage are dishing out, the Western
league will probably be entirely rearranged
before the start of the 1918 season. Dem
yer is still an uncertain proposition and
Holland thinks Hutchinson is too small to
support club year in and year out Saw
age will probably sell his Joplin franchise
before the training starts as he is now
busy getting the Kansas City Blues back
into the blueing.
In transferring his chief interests to Kan
sas City Savage took one of his players
with him to set the American association
on fire. George Cochran is the player
and Savage says If he goes next season
like he did last he will be recognized as
the best third baseman in minor league
baseball.

MUEHLEBACH SAYS TEBEAU
is ON THE OUTSIDE NOW

George Muehlebach, the new
president of the Kansas City Blues,
denied emphatically that George
Tebeau still owns an interest in the
club. Tebeau, for years a political
power in the American association,
was believed to have kept some of
the stock and put over the sale as
camouflage- But the new prexy of
the Blues says he paid for them
and he ought to know where the
money came from. MuehIebach,
tho a newcomer in minor league
circles, is a good sportsman and a
hail fellow well met He made a
hit with the minor leaguers dur
ing their meeting.

IF BACK HURTS

FLUSH THE KIDNEYS AT ONCE
WHEN BACKACHY OR BLADDER
BOTHERs-MEAT FORMS URIC
ACID.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally,
a weIl-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which clogs the kidney pores
so they sluggishly filter or strain
only part of the waste and poisons
from the blood, then you get sick.
Nearly all rheumatism, headaches,
liver trouble, nervousness, constipa-
ton, dizziness, sleeplessness, bladder
disorders come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full
of sediment, irregular of passage or
attended by a sensation of scalding,
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any reliable pharmacy and take
a tablespoonful in. a glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia and has been used for
generations to flush clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to activity, also
to neutralize the acids in urine so it
no longer causes irritation, thus end
ind bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes delightful effer-
vescent lithia-water drink which all
regular meat eaters should take now
and then to keep the kidneys clean
and the blood pure, thereby avoiding
serious. kidney complications.-Adv.

IN BIG NEWSPAPER

In a recent issue of the New York
Herald appears a photograph of the
new Gallaudet twin motored seaplane
which has recently arrived at the
aeronautic station here, together with
a brief description of the flyer.
Following explanation appears I'M

The Gallaudet Aircraft Corporation
has delivered to the United States
navy acronautic station at Pensacola,
Fla, twin motored seaplane. the
latest development of Edison F. Gal
laudet, whose experiments in aero
nautics go back to 1896. and who
built racing monoplane in 1912 cap
able of 100 miles an hour for the
Coupe IntcrnationaIe d'Aviation. The
Gallaudet seaplane has wind spread
of As feet, is SO feet long, has a
chord of Z feet between planes, and
6O2 square feet of wing surface.
Weighing 1900 pounds, its official
speed is 90 miles an hour, and, what
Is more efficient, it lifts 1854 pounds
per square foot of wing surface. The
most remarkable feature is the new
streamline system of propulsion and
location of propeller, which is back
of the planes about half way between
the pilots scat and the rear rudder.
The type of body construction affords
the aerial gunner maximum arc OF
fire and range of observation.
