Former Troubles

Nearly everybody in Knoxville

years district passenger agent for the
Northern Pacific railroad, with Local
Offices In Chattanooga and general Of
fees in st. Paul, Mimi.
On account of generally failing
health, Capt. Patty was forced to dis.
continue active work and for the past
few years has been making his home
In Knoxville, where he numbers his
friends by his acquaintance. He is
a kind. genial gentleman of the old
school and Is beloved by all who know
him. The following interesting state
ment was made by him in person to
the Tanlac representative:
Il am SO years old and always en-
joyed good health up to about six
years ago. when | suffered a nervous
breakdown and my general health
gradually failed me. My principal
trouble was indigestion and catarrh,
but my whole system seemed to be
out of shape. My condition finally got
so bad | couldn't sleep at night and
always after eating l would suffer so
from Indigestion and heartburn that
! felt just like there was a coal of
fire in my stomach. My hearing and

several doctors here in Knoxville and
other cities and they helped me con-
siderably and I finally got so could
go around, but some how | lust
couldn't feel right and could not sleep
at night. which made me awfully nerv-
u and nothing / would eat seemed
to agree with me.
Il began reading about this Tanlac
when you first came here, but did not
decide to try the medicine until l
talked with a friend of mine who had
actually used it. He said 1t was the
best thing ne had ever taken, and that
was sufficient proof for me.
II have just finished the first bottle
and came here this morning, not only
to buy the second bottle, but to tell
you just what it has done for me. L
began enjoying my meals from the
first few drops. My is

for Gibbons has never been tested

Former Champion and Title

full Display of Their
Skill.

Willie Hoppe, champion of the
world at 1872 balkline billiards. and
George Sutton, former title holder,
entertained at the Omaha Athletic
club with exhibitions at billiards at 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon and s
o'clock last night. After each game.
Hoppe gave an additional exhibition
of his proves in the way of fancy
and difficult shots. The exhibitions
were held in the upstairs dining hall
and number of ladies were present
at both games.
In the afternoon game Hoppe won
the bank and took first shot. The
balls took some bad breaks in the
early part of the game and Hoppe
was away in the rear for six innings
Sutton started with a great lead of
IS in his first inning and 81 in the
second, but fell off after that. Hoppe
missed clearly on his sixth inning,
but in the seventh he made a high
run of 1l9. His opponent only scored
three on his spot and it proved his
last, for Hoppe needed 1l8 to go out
and he made them and the game was
over. Score by innings of the after
noon game was:

tention and the wrestling game is
lowering around the stage entrance
The heavyweight championship bat
tie of July 4 will continue to hold
the attention of the sport world
until it has passed into history, but
.When the squabble is over and Jack
Dempsey has had his try for the
title, the aforementioned subjects
will come in for their share of the
glory.
The main events of both wrest-
ling and boxing, outside of the
heavyweight affair, of course, must
await the return of the champions
from France. Earl Caddock. the mat
champion, and Nike O'Dowd, the
middleweight boxing title holder. are
still in France, and nothing definite
is known as to the date of their re-
turn. Gene Melady is certain that
Caddock will consent to continue in
the wrestling game and defend his
title against any and all the worthy
challengers. If he does, a heavy
weight champion wrestling match
will hold the interest of sport lovers
for time, though just who Cad
docks opponent will be, no one
knows just yet.
Middleweight Title Bout Next.
Following the Willard-Dempsey
match, the next big pugilistic affair
will probably be a middleweight
championship scrap between O'Dowd
and his famous fellow townsman.
Mike Gibbons Mike has signified
his willingness to meet O'Dowd in
a long bout for the title and it is
likely that when champion Mike gets
back from the land OF the lilies, such
a match will be arranged. A bout
between the two Mikes would arouse
worldwide interest and probably
draw almost rs we'll as the Willard
Dempsey bout. Realizing this, it is
unlikely that O'Dowde would over
look chance for grabbing or the
coin he could get out of such bout
as this. for he has never been a great
money-maker in the boxing game.
Before the war, O'Dowd never
had wonderful reputation, at least
not so wonderful that he could get |
any large purses for his scraps. |
Even in the affair in which he won
the title. he didn't get any more than
any ordinary wind-up fighter would |
get. The war broke out before he |
was able to get a start after any
big money, consequently, O'Dowd is |
the poorest, financially, of all cham
pions. Mike has evidently seen an
opportunity to make his champion
ship title pay him something, for |
he has issued a challenge to meet
Georges Carpenter, the French
heavyweight champion Even if he
lost a decision to the Frenchman, it
is unlikely that he would lose the
title, for Carpenter, though a small
man for a heavyweight title holder,
is still considerably over a middle
weight poundage

Forty-one athletes took part in
the contest this year. Omaha scored
5000 points. Last year we scored
1867 points; the lower record is ac-
counted for by the fact that all of

last year, and only one of the last
years champions has returned,
namely, julius Festner. Julius Fest

Notes From Sport World

The local semi-pro base ball stu
alton is in as chaotic condition now
as when first mentioned, in fact, il
any different, worse. Earl Higgins,
president of the Greater Omaha
league, declares he is disgusted with
the attitude of some of the manag-
ers, who appeared to favor a semi-pro
league at first and have now turned
around and want strictly amateur
base ball. Earl says the Bluffs teams
are the only ones in favor of the
semi-pro organization now, but he
has evidently forgotten that the Ar
mours have announced that they will
play semi-pro ball whether a league
is formed or not. The formation of a
semi-pro league would benefit the
Class A players and also the ANA
tear Association and it is to be
hoped the managers can get together
On it.
1t has been rumored that James !.
Corbett, former heavyweight cham
pion, would be selected to referee
the Willard-Dempsey boxing match,
on July a. Corbett should make all
excellent referee. as he has kept in a
touch with pugilistic affairs during
his travels as an actor and lecturer
and he has a thorough knowledge
of the rules of the game. The for
mer champion would make an ad-
ditional attraction to an already
wonderful drawing card. James JET
fries was mentioned at one time as
referee, but his time is taken up
with his business to such all ex7
tent that he has been out of touch
with ring affairs for some time, hay
ing taken no interest in them since

The commission form of govern
ing boxing and other athletic events
has proved satisfactory in most
places, but the city of Detroit goes
this method one better. They have
a board Of censors in Detroit whose
duty it is to censor all boxing shows,
burlesque shows and movie films.
The censors are two detectives, and
they certainly have their hands full

it. 1t is seemingly a good plan, for
no one complains about it. Ex-
players, boxers, managers
and promoters all act upon the sug-
gestions of the censofs and there is
no friction, consequently there is
nothing rotten in Detroit.
During the warm spell of January

tice, but of late have had to stick
pretty close to the fireside, some
times at home and sometimes at the
club. This story was told at one of
the golf clubs. An irascible golfer,
while playing with a clergyman on
a very warm day last summer, was
considerably annoyed by fleas, and
at length got desperate and vented
his feelings in a burst of decidedly
blasphemous language. The clergy
man demonstrated and pointed out
the advantages of self-control.
"See," he said, calmly, there is
fly on my forehead, but it does
not trouble me. By the exercise of
my self-control I can play my shot
without giving that fly a thought.
You see, it is now on the bridge of
my nose, but--oh, h! It's wasp!
When Barney Reilly gave UP the
base ball spangles to go on the oper-

promises to rival Mccormack in
