As yet, the semipro does not ex- ist in Japan. But if the further plan carries to have teams organized in all the leading city centers and temporari- ly trained by American college gradu- ate coaches, the Oriental kingdom and its far-flung dependencies will fairly go wild over baseball.

Every lover of pure amateur sport in Japan hopes this latter idea will prevail. thus preventing a long and inevitable train of evils which would follow commer- cialfzation of the game.

My nerves went to pieces and l had no appetite at all hardly and sometimes just the smell of food would turn my stomach.
 "I heard so much about Tanlac that 1 commenced to take it to see if ii would help me. Well sir, the way 1 have improved is certainly surprise to me for my kidneys and bladder are not only in fine shape now but I have been built up in every way and feal better and stronger than I have in years You ought to come out to see me eat and when I go to bed at night I sleep like a log till morning ani when get up l feel just fine and don't know when I've had more life and energy about me than I've got right now.

Atlanta, oct. 27.-In a letter , to Frank l.. stanton of Atlanta made public here today Governor Cox charged that efforts were being made to arouse racial hatred to defeat him.
 We are making this campaign for peace for progress and for prosper ity." said Governor Cox's letter. An attempt has been made by our op- ponent to distract from the issue by setting up racial groups. each with a selfish purpose. To each of these groups something has Eoen promised. Nor has there been any considera- ton about the conflict in promises that have been made.
 'None of those who have been against America in the last four years is going to vote for me. To my mind the most serious of all things presented is the attempt to arouse racial hatred. Promises have been made to the Afro-American party which I do not believe the promisers have any intention Of carrying out.
 There are some classes of social equality which can be quoted in the words of the immortal Lincoln we do not want the negroes to be slaves but that does not mean that we want negro women for our wives. I know no better way to express the evils in the attempt to array class against class in America"
