HERZOG IS TALKING
Tenperamental Charley Asks $5,O0O Bonus and Extension of Contract

New York, Feb. p -Tempera- mental Charley Herzog is giving the Boston Braves cause for a lot of worry. He not only demands an eX- tension of his contract to 1919, but also wants a bonus of $5,00O for go- lS to Boston. As the Boston club is in no position to meet either of Her zog's demands it may result in fur ther complications between the New ork and Boston clubs.
 When Herzog was traded to Boston for Doyle and Barnes it was made conditional on his reporting to the Boston club, and if the Giants can- not deliver the player the New York club will have to get busy and use some more persuasive power on Charley to complete the deal. It is even hinted in Boston that Herzog's demands may result in breaking up the deal.

BASKETBALL TONIGHT
Silver City Baslxet-Tosse to Oppose New Britain High Quintet-Captain Hubbard to Return to Team

Reports from the Silver City indi- cate that the New Britain High school team is in for a warm battle this even ing at the Y. M. c. A. gymnasium when the Meriden High school quin- tet will do battle with Coach Bearses S charges The Meriden boys are not in the Interscholastic league, but the team, this year, is one that has given an excellent account of itself on the basketball court. The game will start at S:15 o'clock with Referee Slater in charge.
 It is probable that Captain Ben Hib- bard will be seen in action again to- night after a long layof, due to in- juries to his knee. The coach is planning to use Hubbard at one of the guard positions Taylor, who has been playing a sashing game all sea- son, will be moved to forward, where he will, no doubt, be a, valuable play CT, owing to his ability to locate the net.
 Next weeks game at the Y. M. c. A. should prove very interesting when the New Haven High school will play here. This will be a league game. To- morrow night the locals will jnurney to Sufheld for a game with the Con- necticut Literary school five.

MEDIOCRE BOWLING
Levy, of Cincinnati, Only Timber Toppler to Display Oass-Hot Fight On for 1919 Tourney.

Cincinnati, O., Feb. 22.-The bowl ing in the individual and two-men events at the eighteenth annual tour nament of the American Bowling con- gress here yesterday was mediocre, with one exception-F. Levy. of Cin- cinnati, rolling into third place in the individual with 636.
 St. Louis bowlers were in the major ity on the alleys in the five-men squads last night Up to this time the only outsiders to bowl in the five-men class were the Cabanne team, of St Louis, and the Neuberth Colts. of Newark, N, J., who are first and sec- ond, respectively, in the standing of teams. No phenomenal scores have. as yet, been marked up, but with the entry of the high-class bowlers from out of town it is expected that much better marks will be set on the tally boards.
 Politics loomed up strong among the delegates here who will attend the annual meeting of the congress today, and several contests appear to be cer- tain. Both Toledo and St. Louis have come before the congress for the next tourney.

MAY PLAY ON SUNDAY
Hampstead, of Giants, and Ebbets, of
 League Contests at Harrison, N. J.

New York, Feb. 22.-H. N Hemp stead, president of the Giants; w. F. Baker, president of the Phillies. and c. H, Ebbets, the Brooklyn head, met Wednesday at National league head quarters for an informal conference on the future uses of the Washington park ball grounds in Brooklyn and the Harrison (N: J.) grounds, where the Newark Feds played through two ill-starred seasons.
 There can be no final action until the committee named by the Amer lcan league consisting of Messrs. Johnson and Navin is consulted but it is generally understood that both the big circuits are planning to utilize the New Jersey grounds as a haven for major league Sunday baseball by the metropolitan clubs.
 It is suggested that all the Monday games of both the Giants and Yan- kees be transferred across the river to get the increased Sunday revenue, providing enough postponed games do not crop up early in the season to keep the Monday schedule intact
 In the meantime a determined eff fort is to be made to get Sunday ball in this state. If that could be brought about the Washington park grounds would quickly become an asset instead of a liability.

The work among the prisoners in my estimation signifies one solid pillar around which all these thoughts and feelings can be col lected, which breathe out the spirit of worldwide brotherly love. That brotherly love which declines to see in the wounded and captive enemy anything other than 8 suffering nor tai.
 ~The conversations that I have Ina q along these lines with your leading men, among whom I would name in first place Dr. John R. Mott and Dr. A. c.

AnaoH ce @E dlnportant steps lead ing up to thb war program were the promotion Of the Red Cross Christ mas Seal from a sale of less than
 "0,0oO,O00 seals in 1910 to over 20O,-
 0O0,0O seals in 1917; the organiza-
 ton of field service by means Of
 which every state in the Union has
 been visited, and the prom otion of standardizatio ton and economy in the construction and administration of tuberculosis hospitals, thereby saving to comm unities throughout the coun- try hundreds of thousands of dollars / The association established recent " The American Review of Tuber- culosis." the only strictly scientific medical journal on tuberculosis pub Iished in English in North or South America. It also founded in CO., operation with the New York School of Philanthropy, an institute for the training of tuberculosis workers.
 This national body has organized or reorganized State associations in 28 states, published numerous re- search studies and i'm portant volumes on various phases Of tuberculosis work, and promoted legislation on tuberculosis in practically every state.
 It was the National association also which established the Framingham Community Health and Tuberculosis Demonstration in 1916. This demon stratlon aims to show how, with an adequate program any community in the United States may effectively con- trol tuberculosis as well as other pre- ventab1e diseases
 Summarizing the facilities now available for the war emergency, as the result of the associations activ- ites the leaf1et says:
 There gre at the present time in this country 500 tuberculosis hos pitals and sanatoria with a bed ca- pacity of over 43,00o; 1,400 anti-tu- berculosis associations and commit tees, including a state association in every state and most of the outlying territories of the United States; nearly 500 special tuberculosis dis pensar1es and clinics; more than 1000 open air schools; and approxim atefy 5000 special tuberculosis nurses as contrasted with the condition in 1905, when the association was start ed, at which time there were in this country only 115 tuberculosis sana- toria with a bed capacity of less than 5000; only thirteen ant1tubercuiosis no open air schools; and no tuberculosis nurses"

 yard Alumni Bulletin.

Cambridge, Mass, Feb. 22-A re- quired course in physical culture for freshmen at Harvard University was urged as the greatest need in athletics by William F. Garcelon, former graduate treasurer of athletics, in a letter to the Harvard Alumni BuI1e- tin yesterday.
 'GWe boys instruction in running, jumping, wrestling, vaulting, fencing, swimming, boxing, hurdlng and light gymnastics and they will naturally play games, and, further. they have the fundamental requirem ents upon which good soldiers are bui1t,' he said.
 Harvard should have a required course of physical training for fresh. men, not in calisthenics and dumb bells but a course such as have sug. gested above"

STFCHEK AFTER TITLE.
Joes So Confident He will Beat
 ZbyszR1o, He Challenges Caddock.

New York, Feb 22.-Jos Stecher the master of the deadly body "scis- sors hold" is so confident that he will defeat Wladek Zhyszko at Madison Square Garden week from tonight that he has already challenged Cad dock to a match for the world title This action of Stecher's is far from pleasing to Zbyszko, for he figures that as the winner of this bout is to get first whack at Caddock. Stecher should have waited until the outcome before he form erly challenged the soldier athlete.
 A remarkable feature of this com ing match is that it will mean the first meeting between Zbyszko and Stecher and will be a real test be- tween a terrible hold and crush ing body scissors.

HARTLEY IN TRAINING
Durable Dane, Starts Work for Mill With Bat Kunz, Feb. 2S-DOlfings Training Pete.

New Haven, Feb. 22-Pete Hartley, the Durable Dane, who is matched to box Battling Kunz in a 15-round bout at the local arena on Thursday night, February 2S, is working out at Fitzgerald & Malone's gymnasium. Pete is being handled by Dia Dollings, the famous Welshman who has trained more champions than any man in the world. Dollings recently left Matt Wells and was secured by Leo P. Flynn to handle Bill Bren- nan, the promising heavyweight and the man touted as having good chance for the heavyweight cham pionship of the world. When Man. ager Flynn made the match for Hart ley to box Kunz, he sent Dollings to New Haven to take charge of Pete and get him in the best possible shape for the important bout.
 Upon his arrival here from Derby yesterday afternoon, Hartley ex- pressed. confidence that he will be able to stop Kunz on the 18th. Pete says he feels strong and we'll and aft CT few more days workout under the instruction of Trainer Dollings, he knows he will be able to enter the ring and rock the South Norwalk lad to sleep in jig time.
 Hartley expected a bout with Willie Jackson, but has just been informed that Jackson ran out 0f the match and refused to meet him under any conditions
 Kunz is being trained by Joe Cans, the big colored fellow who put him in shape for his several bouts with Chic Brown and Cans claims Kunz will be able to more than hold his own against Hartley.

With Fingers!
 C0rns Lift Off
Doesn't hurt a bit to lift any corn or caIlus right off. Try it!

For a few cents you can get a small bottle of the magic drug freezono recently discovered by a Cincinnati man.
 Just ask at any drug store for a small bottle of freezone. Apply a few drops upon a tender, aching corn or callus and instantly all soreness dlS- appears and shortly you will find the corn or cal Jus so loose that you lift it off with the fingers.
 Just think! Not one bit of pain before apply ing freezone or after wards. It doesn't even irritate the surrounding skin.
 Hard corns, soft corns or corns between the toes, also hardened cal. luses on bottom of feet. shrivel up and fall off without hurting a par ticle. It is almost mag ical. .....
 Ladies! Keep a tiny bottle on the dresser ar:,l never let a corn or cal Jus ache twice.
