BILLY SPEAS TO
MANAGE TACOMA'S
TEAM THIS YEAR

Wrapped up as the average
sports fan Is in American sports he
Is apt to disregard or minimize the
endeavors Of the athletes across
the seas, even though they are
superior to athletic enterprises in
the United States.
Some attention has been paid
to athletics in Sweden recently on
account Of the Olympic games held
there in 1912 and the fact that
four of our best athletes spent
several weeks in Sweden about
year ago in competition with the
best the Scandinavians had to
offer.
But Swedish track and field ath-
letes enjoyed their best year in
1917, according to reports from
Stockholm. Athletes under the
direction Of Ernie Hjertberg set
four new world records and
smashed a total OF 22 Swedish
records.
John Bolin and A. Zan6er, the
greatest of the Swedish athletes,
were responsible for eight of these
records, three of Zander's being
world standards; the 1900 metre

bits in Seven Days Leave the
big military comedy success direct
from its ten months vogue at the
Lyceum theater. London, coming
to the Tacoma theater Tuesday
and Wednesday nights.
The incident is said to reflect
something of state OF the public
and private consciousness of the
British mind today. In the play
conditions develop where the
young lord is the regimental un-
derling Of the cooks son, and
seems to welcome his change of
viewpoint and OF state quite as
sood-humeredly as the audience.

SPORTS
FAST BATTLERS
SIGNED UP FOR
EAGLES SMOKER

Announcing the two main
events for his next smoker,
Matchmaker George Shanklin Of
the Eagles Athletic club gave as
surances today that the card for
March Fl will be one of the best
of tho year.
AL Sommers of Portland, the
flashy Electromagnetic who put
mp such a corking battle with
Micky King, champion Of the
coast, in Seattle last week, will
meet Frank Farmer in six
round battle.
Marty Foley of Tacoma, well
terweight whose phenomenal
strides during the past season
have taken him from the prelim-
mary part of the card to the main
event division, will meet Fred
Gilbert of Portland.
These two bouts promise
the fans a lot of real action,
and the SOmmers-FaImer
scrap should prove whirl-
wind affair. Farmer boxed
III hStOEo
seasons ago, when the Port
land boy had just started
his ring career. Farmer de-
feated SOmmers but there
was quite a fuss over the de-
cislOn, and the real merits Of
the two boys have not been
tested since. SOmmers is q
top-notcher among the coast
light-heavies, and will give
Frank a hard battle. Farm
er's blOod-poisOned finger is
healing rapidly and he will
be I'm good shape for the
scrap. ..
Fred Gilbert, the Portland bay
whom Marty Foley boxes, is 60
ing to give the Tacoma Irishman
some fun. Shanklin was a little
dubious at first over matching
Foley with the tough Portland
scrapper, but Marty insisted on IL,
so George went ahead. Gilbert's
latest achievement Is the knock
ing out of Lloyd Madden at Port
land, and any boxer who can put
Madden to sleep must be some
slugger!
Marty Farrell, recent arrival
on the coast, meets AL Sommers
In Portland Wednesday night of
this week. Farrell is a fast,
shifty scrapper, but is not looked
upon as a dangerous foe for the
Portlander. Muff Bronson, now
holder OF the coast light title
meets Chef Neff ON the same
card. Joe German and Weldon
Wing are also matched.

You Can Tell The People Who
Haue Iron in Their Blood
Strong Healthy, Vigorous Folks

And this, after they had in some cases
been going on for months without get
ting benefit from anything.
If you are not strong Or well you
owe it to yourself to make the follow
ing test: See how long you can work
or how far you can walk without be-
coming tired. Next take two five-grain
tablets of nuxated iron three times per
day after meals for two weeks. Then
test your strength again and see for
yourself how much you have gained
There is nothing like good old iron to
help put color in your cheeks and
sound, healthy flesh on your bones.
But you must take iron in a form that
can be easily absorbed and assimilated
like nuxated iron if you want it to do
you any good, otherwise it may prove
worse than useless.
NOTE--Nuxated Iron recommended
above by Dr. E. Sauer, is one of the
newer organic iron compounds. I'm
like the older inorganic iron products,
it is easily assimilated, does not in
jure the teeth, make them black,nor
upset the stomach. The manufacture
ers guarantee successful and entirely
satisfactory results to every purchaser
or they will refund your money. 1t is
dispensed in this city by Wilkinson &
Co., and all other druggists, :.

COLORED GIRLS
IN THE WORK
Y. w. C. A. Extends Its Operations
and is Securing Leaders to
Carry on Among Own
Race.
[By United Press.l


WASHINGTON, March 13.-Ameri-
can women are caring for the well
fare of the colored women engaged
in war industries.
They are extending all efforts IN
organizing the colored women into
effective organizations for the carry
ing out of necessary constructive ma
tional measures among the coloreG
population. ~
Through their welfare organizations
the American women are taxing
necessary steps to guard the morality
of the numerous colored girls en-
ployed in munition factories and In
other war industries.
AS one or the prominent national
woman's organizations that has taken
I'D the problem of guarding the wei
fare Of the colored woman war worker
is the national Y. w. G.. A, which IS
putting through an elaborate program
to that effect.
OF the four million dollar budget
of the Y. w. c. A, 100000 is to be
women and girls
Among the features Of the assocla-
tons program is one to furnish
leaders among COIOiCu NohiSh W
train them to carry on the work
among their own race.
The association is taking care OF
emergency housing in war industrial
centres where the government fac
tories employ colored as well as
white girls.
Lectures on social morality for
groups of colored women near the
environments is one part Of the well
fare work by the association.
For this purpose the association
has secured a list of all the colored
women graduates from medical
schools of the country for the last
twenty years.
Organizations of colored women for
war purposes is proving difficult
task, because of the absurd rumor
prevalent even among them.
Many refused to register in one
city because they believed they would
be sent to fight the Germans, like
the Russian women.
