BURMAN VS.. HAHN.

The strong yearning for bantam
bouts has caused Promoter Billy Hack
to arrange one of the most enticing
cards of the year for next week at the
Southern A. c., when Bernie Hahn
meets Joe Burman in the main event
Burman Is a Chicago entry under the
management OF Tommy Walsh and
Nate Lewis and Hahn Is a Philadelphia
starter from Joe Levy's stable. Both,
too, have close connection with Pal
Moore, the Memphis flash.
Burman has been touted by Walsh,
as a better lad than Moore on the
grounds that he is every bit as fast and
can hit five times as hard. 1t is no
secret that Moore has never carried
papers Burman is blessed with one Of
Inc most wicked wallops in the division.
Long before he split arrived that
separated Moore and the Walsh Lewis
Combination Silent Tommy was singing
The praises of his now star Walsh

Then You Will Be Able to
Treat 1t Intelligently.

The medical profession has
not yet fully determined all OF
the causes OF rheumatism,
though they are pretty well
agreed on two points.
The first is that the disease
is more than a mere local trou-
bic, that the pangs OF pain come
from a source that is far below
the surface, and therefore it is
not reasonable to expect any ra-
tional relief from a treatment
that is locally applied and
reaches only the surface
When you realize the logic OF
this conclusion. YOU will see that
YOU are really wasting your time
and money ii YOU are expecting
any permanent relief from the
use OF liniments, lotions, and
other locally applied treatment
which can only reach the sur,
face, and have no effect what.

Any disease should be treatet

ADAMS CHOSEN.

Tho selection Of Platt Adams to coach
Italys team for the Olympic games to
be held at Antwerp, Belgium, next
year, is another instance OF the respect
foreign countries have for the ability
of Americans as coaches. Adams Is
the third American to be thus hon
ored. The other two are Ernie Hiert
berg, who worked wonders with the
Swedish team. which proved to be the
most dangerous rivals the Americans
had to defeat at the olympics held In
Stockholm in 1919, and Lawson Robert :
son, who had a tempting offer to coach
the Austrtans. which he had accepted,
the war broke out in 1914.
Adams demonstrated his ability as a
coach with the American forces in
France during the war.
