Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
By JAMES J. CORBETT

Speculat tion as to the sort of training that will be indulged in by Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey recalls the fact that the era of elaborate conditioning pro- grammes apparently passed with the old timers.
 Perhaps men of the present day do no, train like we used to do simply because the majority of their bouts are short ones.
 Naturally, it is not necessary for a fel- low to possess the same stamina endur' l ance for a four, six or finish contest. Back in the old days the shortest bouts in which star performers were involved
 usually were l5 rounds Twenty round
 CTS were very common, while, as every l one knows fights in which the champion ship was involved were, with few excep- tions. to finish.
 John L. Sullivan really established the , fashion in extensive training. John, a great publicity getter realized the value of big training camp. Whenever John l.. began conditioning for real cham
 pionship contest he always went into it in rip roaring way.
 The mighty Bostonians greatest train- ing achievement was his preparation for the great fight with Jake Kilrain-the fast bare knuckle contest on American soil. At the time that Sullivan made the match he was far from his real self. He realized it was necessary to secure the best men possible to whip him into shape. John l.. surrounded himself with boxers, wrestlers and athletic trainers
 of the finest kind and spared no expense in fitting himself for one of the greatest battles that was ever fought.
 At the time that I was matched to meet
 Charlie Mitchell I established a camp in
 Florida and hired the very best trainers
 that 1 could get. It cost me approximate
 ly $1o,000 to train for that fight, but 1t
 was worth it. When I went in training
 for my first fight with Jeffries I located
 my camp in Lakewood. at a cost of $15.-
 900. I had peculiar ideas as to buildings
 I wanted and because they weren't on
 the grounds I built them myself.
 Just how much was spent by Jim Fef-
 fries and Jack Johnson when they were
 training for their big Reno fight is some

MOLLY SIGNS NEW HOT CORNER ARTIST Warner of Central League to Get Tryout-First
 Sacker in Sight

Manager Molesworth writes from his a thirdsacker who should star in the Southern league this season. His name is Warner. He was given to Moley by Pittsburg as part payment for Pom der and he played in the Central league year before last. A glance at the 1917 record shows that Warner batted up 42S times, made 136 hits, stole S4 bases and finished the season with an aver age of .S1S with the willow and q fielding percentage of .909.
 That doesn't necessarily mean that Eddie Mcdonald will get the can without tryout, but it does mean that the veteran hot corner artist will have to display the goods i'll large packages to retain his berth under the ''7 Class A men" rule. It is hoped that Billy Webb will be out of the navy in time to compete for this job as Sir William is known to be a capable hitter to say the least.
 Moley declared that he discovered a first baseman while in Camp Sevier who has never played on a sure huff ball team, but who has enough stuff to hit 300 in this circuit and to field with the best of them. The chubby one does not disclose his name for fear that rival managers will attempt tc grab him first.
 Moiey also has his lines out for a catcher two young hurlers and an in fielder. More news may be heard from him soon

Harold Taylor Wins

thing that 1 cannot say with any degree of definitenes, I know that it cost Jef- fries in the neighborhood of $15.000. The great Californian secured the best possi | ble men to assist in getting him in shape. and no expense was spared to get for Jeffries everything that he wanted. John son didn't spend as much money as Jeff | fries, yet the negro certainly squandered on training expenses alone what some | fighters of today do not spend for d dozen contests.
 In the olden days, none of the boys | thought anything of training two or three | months for a contest. Practically every
 athlete gets the feeling after he is in | training for a month that he is as fine
 as a feather" But we never thought so | in our time, and we kept right on train | ing. None of us ever went stale. Ninety | five per cent of the fellows who stepped | into the ring in the old days for tituiai contests were conditioned to the minute. And that is more than can be said about | fighters now who train for few days or few weeks and then announce that | they are in "tip-top shape.
 | Perhaps the training that Dempsey and Willard undergo will depend very large | ly upon how long fight they are asked | to wage. Naturally, Dempsey will not | have to train as hard as Willard. He has been fighting almost constantly during | the past three years, and is in tlptop con- dition now. Willard, on the other hand, hasn't fought once in three years and will need to train in most strenuous
 fashion to whip himself into anything near championship fettle. But l daresay 1 that Willards training-that is, as far as duration and strenuosity is concerned, will depend very largely upon how long fight his affair with Dempsey will be. Ii it's 10 rounds, Willard, who never
 was very fond of training, undoubtedly will not throw himself into the thing with his whole heart and soul He will figure that his natural endurance will enable him to stand up for 10 rounds under the battering of Dempsey.
 But it seems to me that the safest game that Willard can play is to condition himself for his fight with Dempsey as he
 never was conditioned before, because
 when he takes on the Utah Mauler" he
 will find himself pitted against bat tler who is a real wonder.

DON'T EXPERIMENT
 WITH CATARRH

breath you take is difficult, when the throat and nose are so clogged up with offensive mucus that you are constantly hawking and splitting in an ef- fort to clear your nostrils, ev- cry effort you make to get re- lief by the use of sprays and douches is promptly followed by new accumulations, so that no headway whatever is made toward getting rid of the dis ease.
 Realize that the Catarrh comes from a germ which in- fests the blood, and that the disease cannot exist when these germs are routed from the blood. The rational and suc- cessful treatment, therefore, is one that reaches the blood, and cleanses it of every trace of inn purity and rids it of these tiny Catarrh germs. Of course, no local remedies can reach the blood supply, and that is why Catarrh is not cured by sprays and lotions.
 The one great blood remedy that has made a wonderful rec ord is s. s. S., which has been on sale by drug stores every where for over half a century. If you would be rid of your Ca tarrh, get a bottle of this great old remedy today, which will give you satisfactory results, as it has in so many cases. You will find that you are on the right treatment at last, as s. s. s. will do for you what it has for thousands of others. Start taking s. s. s. today and write a complete description of your case to our head physician, who will give you all necessary instructions by return mail, without charge.

Here Is a Sensible Treat. ment That Gives Prompt
 Results

Winter and Catarrh are com panions in evil. Catarrh is sweeping civilization from one continent to another, just be- cause civilization does not heed Natures simple laws. Nature tells us what to do and we pay no heed.
 Don't think lightly of Ca tarrh. Do not make the mis- take of believing that it is merely an aggravated bad cold. True, this trouble usual ly starts with what is apparent ly a cold in the head, but be- ware of any cold that "hangs on." You may as we'll realize at the outset that Catarrh is a serious disease and one that should not be trifled with. In fact, in many instances it is a forerunner of the most dreaded of all lldiseases-consumption.
 Don't permit yourself to be deceived. Perhaps, like thou sands of others afflicted with catarrh, you are about ready to believe that the disease is in- curable, and that you are doomed to spend the remainder of your days hawking and splitting, with no relief in sight from inflamed and stopped-up air passages that make the days miserable and the nights sleepless.
 fyou are in the grasp of Ca tarrh, your experience should convince you that the disease is beyond the reach of sprays, douches, jellies, balms, salves and other locally applied rem edies.
 When the air passages be- come so stopped up that every

Pittsburg, February 19.-Trom Phil- adelphia a few days ago came a story to the effect that Billy Southworth had returned the contract rendered him by Dreyfuss, and had announced that he would stick to the shipbuilding job at Chester, and play with the Upland team of the Delaware County league, an independent organization which has furnished a haven for a number of big leaguers in the past.
 < The peculiar thing about the story was that it came out before Southworth had been rendered his contract. To that extent at least the talk was false. for it would have been impossible for Billy to return a contract before inc received it.
