4. Il. u. Swimming Titles
ToBe Fought Out April12
Innovation Planned for Athletes by Having
Competition Here and in Baltimore,
Saving Two Trips.

An innovation has been planned
for the ninth annual indoor cham
pionship swimming races OF the
South Atlantic Association A. A. u.
events this year. Preliminary heats
in five events and two finals will be
run Off in the Central High School
pool a week from tonight, and the
finals will be held in Baltimore at the
B. A. C. pool April IA.
In dividing the competition be-
tween this city and Baltimore, Of
fcials have in mind cutting down ex-
penses for athletes. AS II Is i'm
possible to hold all events in one
night, A. A U. officials think It would
work a hardship on swimmers from
both this city and Baltimore to have
all events held in one city on two
nights.
Matters Now Adjusted.
Matters are now adjusted so that
but one trip will be necessary for
the athletes. Those coming from
Baltimore can qualify in the Central
pool and be at home when the hnals
are run OFF, save in the plunge for
distance and fancy dive.
The finals will find the Baltimore
athletes at home, and those Washing
tonians who have qualified, making
the trip to Baltimore. Aside from
the fact that the Central pool Is much
better for competition, the AFFAIR has
been successfully planned.

TOOK PLANT JUICE
FOR HIS TROUBLE.
George A. Thomas, 2o4S 9Th
St. N. W., Says His Father
Was Benefited By Plant
Juice.

stomach trouble Is simply a name
given to designate a variety of pains.p
said The Plant Juice Man, who has
his headquarters at The Peoples Drug
Store, corner Of 9TH and "E" Street
N. W., in a recent interview, "and can
only be reached by a systematic treat
ment. 1t Is true that the pains NAV
be eased with narcotics. or the mi
sonous acids may be neutralized for
the time being. Such methods are
only temporary at best and do not
even lead to permanent results for a.
soon as the effect Of the narcotic
wears away, the sufferer il in nre-
cisely the same condition as before
There is a standard remedy, Plant
Juice, which Is purely herbal, design
ed for just such ills as stomach, liver.
and kidney trouble. 1t contains only
extracts from purely medicinal pIantS
and is absolutely free from minerals'
narcotics or other injurious pAfsons
Since Its Introduction here many
people are calling out of gratitude, to
thank me for what Plant Juice has
done for them.
Mr.. George a. Thomas, of No. oo4s
sth Street; N. w. who has many
friends ana acquaintances here, tells
in the following statement how his
father was relieved OF a bad illness BY
Plant Juice, after years OF sufferinS.
He said:
My father had suffered for a long
time with stomach trouble; he would
be badly bloated with gas after eat
ing and In the worst kind OF misery;
he had no appetite, and could hardly
keep any solid food in his stomach:
he was afraid to sit down to a meal:
he was so nervous he could not sleep
we'll at night, had headaches, caused
from a deranged liver, his kidneys
were affected and he was always con-
stipated. He had read so much about
what Plant Juice was doing for Wash
ington people that he finally decided
to try II. He has taken IL for only
short time with splendid results;
he is now able to eat anything he
wants and digest it, and enjoys all
OF his meals; his headaches have dis
appeared and he Is no longer consti-
pated He says he is very thankful
that he heard of Plant Juice and Is
glad to recommend IL to others"
The Plant Juice Man is at The
Peoples Drug Store, corner Of 7th
and "E" streets N. w, where he Is
daily meeting the local public, and
introducing and explaining the merits
OF this remedy.-Advt.

Harvard viii Cancel Crew Events
With Declaration Of War.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, April 6.-Har-
ward University crews raced yester-
day in what were regarded as the
last rowing events of the college year.
The second varsity eight defeated
the first eight-oared crew, and the

All OF the crews had been shaken
up by the departure of former mem
bers to enlist in naval or military or
ganiZatiOns.
The training table was closed, and
after the races the class crews were
disbanded.
The varsity and freshmen oarsmen
were ordered to report for practice,
but 1t was said that all races undoubt-
edly would be Cancelled Immediately
after a declaration of war.
1t is understood that formal an
nouncement of disbanding the varsity
eight will not be made until the
graduate athletic authorities of Yale,
Princeton, and Harvard have con-
ferred on the situation.

NAVY WILLSUSPEND
ATHLETIC CONTESTS
Absence Of Opponents, Caused
by Training for War, May
Ruin the Season.

ANNAPOLIS. Nd, April Sit is
generally believed at the Naval
Academy, though as yet unconnrmed
officially, that athletic contests with
outside teams will not continue more
than a week.
This state OF affairs is likely to be
produced more by the decision of the
colleges that generally send oppo-
nents for the midshipmen to call OF
athletics during the war than by the
inception of the Academy authorities.
At the Academy IL Is felt that ath-
letics form an important part in the
training of the midshipmen, and
should be continued as long as pos
sible. The civilian institutions are
calling on athletics for the present
that military drills may take their
place. This reason, of course, does
not obtain at the Academy.
Baseball and lacrosse got under
way at the Academy yesterday, and
rowing, field an track. tennis and
rifle shooting were to follow shortly.

That Cobb-Herzog incident dies
hard. Now various New York writer's,
naturally siding with Herzog, are
claiming that Cobb's actions tend to
prove that Hughey Jennings is man
ager OF the Tigers, except Cobb.
There is much to support such a con-
tention, too. Cobb, contrary to the
rules OF baseball reports as he
pleases, where he pleases, and when
he pleases. Knowing himself to be
an advertised star, he fiouts training
rules and club rules. He Is working
for Ty Cobb. not the Detroit club, and
this has been his fashion for several
years. Jennings might do worse than
to bring the Georgian up with q
