n FANY women complain
N5 daily of their complexion.
of their headaches and gen.
eral i'll health, little realizing
that the trouble is constipation.
Women. too, are much more sub
ject to such congestion than men,
and much more careless of it.
The result is seen in lusterless,
D weary eyes, in sallow, pimply
complexion, in lassitude, bad
breath, and in that word SO often
used, ''indisposed."
At the first sign of these symp-
toms the wise woman will take a
laxative. and will see that the
young girl and others in her care
do likewise. DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin is the favorite with thou
sands of women because it is mild
and gentle in its action and in the
end trains the stomach and bowel
muscles to do their work naturally
without the aid of medicine.
This combination of simple lax
alive herbs with pepsin, which can
be bought at any drug store, is
also a very sterling first-aid in
colds, fevers and other sudden ills

CAROLINA j. WILL
PLAY TWICE HERE
TarheeIs to Meet Catholic U.
Tomorrow and Maryland
State Saturday.
BY H. c. BYRD.

University Of North Carolina's ball
team comes here tomorrow for two
games, being scheduled to meet Catholic
University at Brookland in the first and
Maryland State at College Park Satur-
day in the second. Tomorrow's contest
at Catholic University will begin at 4
o'clock and Saturdays at Maryland
State at 3.
North Carolina has a strong team.
though it's pitching staff does not
measure up to the standard of the nine
in other departments. There is a pre-
batting order. The Tarheels have a
good record for the season, and In the
game in which Maryland State played
at Chapel Hill early in the spring went
through an eleven-inning 3-to-3 tie.
Catholic University tied up the score
in the first half of the ninth yesterday
in it's game with the Navy at Annapolis,
only to have the Navy come through in
the second half Of the inning with the
winning run. Jackson was on the slab
for the Brooklanders and pitched good
ball. notwithstanding his defeat. Baker.
who held the slab for Navy, allowed
Catholic University only four hits and
famed nine.
Maryland State lost to North Carolina
State yesterday at College Parl be-
cause of poor fielding and opportune
batting by the visitors. The Mary
landers started well. scoring in the first
inning, but the Carolina men came
across in the third with five counts aft
er Bob Knode had errored on an easy
roller hit by the first man up. The last
two runs Of the inning counted when
Paganucci let the wind carry a high
fly over his head and allowed the ball
to drop ten feet behind him when he
should have been camped under the ball.
Murray of North Carolina State
pitched fine strike-out ball, sending
fourteen of the home players back
to the bench after whiting yainly
at the sphere. Faucet got four hits
for the visitors. while Eiseman con-
nected for a homer, triple and a
single for State. Riggs got a double
and triple and Snyder's only hit was
a home-run drive to left center.
The decisive game Of the three
game series between the North Caro-
iiHdHS anu NATyldnQeFS Will be played
this afternoon at o'clock. Maryland
beat the visitors at Raleigh early
in the year, and yesterdays meeting
tied up the series.
Gallaudet overcame George Wash
ington's early lead yesterday at Ken
dali Green and won by to 4. CAL
laudet counted three runs in the
eight. when it was on the short end
Of 4-to-2 score. The Hatchetites
could not hit the ball effectively.
though they flelded extraordinarily
well. O'Brien. at shortstop, did some
excellent work in this regard.
Technical High and Eastern meet
tomorrow afternoon in the high
school series. The game is scheduled
for the old Union League Park at
80 o'clock.
Western High goes out to College
Park tomorrow to meet the Mary
land State Freshman nine.

tinuatton of the annual fixture held

ton A. A., and Arthur s. Lyon, Fencers
Club of New York
They will cross blades in the final
round-robin for the title at the Hotel
Astor tomorrow night. So keen Is the
struggle among them that 1t will be
impossible to decide the winner until
each has completed his schedule. Ray
ner has completed his list of sched-
uled bouts-the only concluded string
on the schedule-and has slate of
eight victories and three defeats.
Hall has won eight and lost two. and
Nunes has a similar record for the
semi-final round. Russell. Breckenridge

Big Fight for New York.
Just when fight fans were wonder
ing what had become of the small
army of promoters who not many
months back were waving anonymous
checks for sums ranging up to a mil
lion dollars for bout between Demp-
sey and Carpenter. along comes Jack
Curley, the local fight promoter, with
the announcement that he has high
hopes of staging fifteen-round battle
for the heavyweight crown here on
Dor day.
Following a conference between
Curley, Jack Kearns, manager of
Dempsey. and Francois Descamps, who
pilots the Frenchman. Curley asserts
he Is confident of getting the men
into the same ring with gloves on.
There are several obstacles to be
overcome, however not the least of
which is that Carpenter already is
booked at a highly lucrative figure
for circus and theatrical engage
ments that extend through the sum-
mer. Dempsey cannot appear in a
New York ring unless cleared OF the
charges of draft evasion he now is
facing in California, and then there
is little matter of contract Car
pentier has signed with Charles B.
Cochran. 1t is said to stipulate that
Georges cannot fight during this
calendar year except under the aus
pices Of the British boxing impress
sario. This probably is true. too.
otherwise Tex Rickard. who is said
to hold an option on Dempsey's serv-
ices. undoubtedly would have formu-
lated plans for staging the scrap long
ago.
Joe Leonard. who has been confined
TO bed since Tuesday with abdominal
pains suggestive of appendicitis, Is
improved in condition, and although
still very weak. will leave for Wash
ington early this evening. He Will
he accompanied by George Erickson,
who probably will take the mound to-
morrow in the first of a five-game
series with the Athletics at the Geor-
gia avenue grounds.
