Miller.
The Miller Brothers, owners of the

00O' cold cash, to be divided accord
ing to any agreement the principals
may decide upon, to bring the biggest

A personal representative of the
prominent ranchmen will meet Pro-
moter Cochrane, the man who ar
ranged the Carpentier-B bout,
When the latter arrives in New York
on December 20, and will tender the
large offer personally.
The 100000 offer is the largest
which has yet been made. 1t is with
out doubt the largest sum of money
ever offered to pugilists for a single
match and it should cover all other
DDS. However, indications are that
should another larger offer be made,
the Miller Brothers are prepared to
open their purse strings and bid to the

Thin, Nervous People
Need BirO- Phosphate

Weak, thin people-men or women-are
nearly always nervous wrecks; thus con-
cIusiveIy proving that thinness. weakness,
debility and neurasthenia are almost in
variabiy due to nerve starvation. Feed
your nerves and all these symptoms due
TO nerve starvation Will disappear.
Eminent specialists state that one of
the best things for the nerves is an
organic phosphate known among drug
gists as Bitro-Phosphate, a five grain tab
let Of which should be taken with each
meal. Being a genuine nerve builder, and
not a stimulAnt or habit-fOrming- drug,
Bitro- Phosphate can be safely taken by
the weakest and most delicate sufferer, and
the results following its use are often
simply astonishing.
BY strengthening the nerves, weak, tired
people regain energy and vigor; thinnesa
and angularity give way to plumpness ana
curves: sleep returns to the sleepless

ity and gloom: dull eyes become bright,

SELECTING CLUBS.

When our prospective golf champion
has selected his clubs it will proba-
bly, save him much future trouble if
he has them inspected by the pro-
fessional of his club or some friend
who really plays well. Proper equip
ment is absolutely necessary in any
field of endeavor If one is determin d
to get the best results. In buying a
set of clubs there is always a chance
that some blades may be poorly set or
that the iron may he imperfectly
forged. This extra precaution of a
careful examination by an expert is
essential because iron clubs particu-
larly are intended to be the compan-
ion of years of play.

obliged to break in a new iron club,

another loft before the player will abb
soIutely know what he can count upon

that the grips of the clubs will be

is the only one for the man who ex-
poets to become an expert golfer. l

While battering Babe Ruth is slug
ging his way to the heights of base
ball fame, threatening the home run
record of Buck Freeman. some of the
more apprehensive fans point to a
conflict in base ball rules which might
perchance rob the Boston behemoth of
his record. To be sure. the chance OF
such a contingency is remote. but the
unexpected defies rules and regula-
tions and pursues its capricious viii.
Back Bay fans are wondering just
what would happen under circum-
stances similar to these: Grant. Tor
the sage of argument, that in the
ninth inning of the last game of the
season Boston needed one run to win
a game and two men were out. a run

pitcher served one within reach OF
Ruth, who forthwith proceeded TO
knock it out of the lot. To stretch the
situation a bit further. suppose at the
time Ruth had made twenty-four
home runs previously, tying the rec
ord of Buck Freeman.
