Manager Makes Answer


 The following communication was received from the manager ot the Tracy block bowling team in answer to the statement by Dr. l.. H. Frost in his refusal to recognize the team challenge.
 "The statement of pr. Frost as manager of the Neri block bowling team a, published in the Herald oi Thursday night, has caused qulte stir in bowling circles in Plainvllle. II would be well for Dr. Frost to note that regulations in the bowling wor'h are built upon the score sheets by the results of good bowling. John Nalen- tine feels deep regret at the man. rer in which the Neri block team re- ceiyed his challenge. Mir. Valentine wonders whether it would be worth his while asking his men to bowl the Neri block team after the interesting match between the manegsr last eve ming.

Can't Be Cured from the Outside.
 External treatments seldom cure Piles.
 Nor do surgical operations.
 The cause is inside-bad circula- ton.
 The blo, is stagnant, the veins flabby.
 The bowel walls are weak, the parts almost dead
 To quickly and safely rid yourself of piles you must free the circulation send fresh current through the stagnant pools. Internal treatment IS the one safe method
 J. s. Leonhardt. M. D., set at work some years ago to find a real inter nal Pile remedy. He succeeded. 6e named his prescription HEM-ROlD, and tried 1t in 1000 cases before he was satisfied.

Think Spain's Chances
Good at Paris Olympiad

Madrid, Sept 1O-(A. P. by Mai)-
Spaniards interested in the athletic
standing of their country are turn
ing their eyes toward Paris and the
Olympiad OF 1924. an7 considering
what should be done to secure the
best possible representation.
/ \ member Of the Spanish Olympic
games committee said recently he
thought SPANS chances were good
in nine OF the 16 principal branches
of sport; for the others lie had little
hope.
The SPORTS in which Spain believes
she has chances of success are lawn
tennis. horse riding, polo football.
golf hockey yachting. fencing and
rowing. Those in which she admits
She is poor are boxing. wrestling.
swimming. cycling, running and 9TH
CT tiell sports, winter sports and
Rugby football.
Gabriel Maria de LATTE. president
Of the Royal Athletic Federation of
Spain, spoke recently with King al
fOnso about the games. The king
was much interested and said: THE
government must be asked for sup
port. hut VIC must not rely solely on
this aid. We must do what is be-
ing done in England and the United
State and open a national subscrip-
ton in which sporting clubs, lovers of
athletics and the wealthy class
should Join freely. I shall be one of
the first to subscribe ard will also
encourage others to do so. Spain
should be represented properly in
these games. The Spanish competi-
tors must he trained y Oroughly. and
for this purpose funds al necessary.
We must take practical means to
find the money. and think we shall
be able to do so.'
