MEXICO CITY, Oct. Ga hidden
treasure of the ancient Indian rulers
of Mexico has been found in a cave
near Cuernavaca, according to Dr..
Marcelonio Ramon. who got the Sc

and found much treasure but was
forced to leave on account of SER
penis. He added that he found a
large quantity of gold handsomely
wrought into vases set with precious
stones. He urges that the govern
ment department of archaeology make
a search of me cave.

How to stop
BOILS

There's only one way to stop
boils. Stop the cause Of boilsi
That's common sense-isn't it? All
right. Boils thrive because the
blood gets SO weak in healthy, red
cells that it can't throw off the i'm
purities that get into the body.
There's not enough rich, red blood
to purify the system.
Now-S. S. S. builds back the
blood TO fighting strength. S. S. S.
builds red-blood-cells-builds them
by the millions! Boils dry upl
s. S. S. is the thing. Impurities
that cause boils and other skin
eruptions can't stand up against
the rich, healthy, red blood that
S. S. S. builds. That's all there is
to H.
Stop boils with S. S. S. It's the
way. Get il at any druggist. The

Rv r. D. THOMAS

Whatever opinion any other per-
sons may hold as to their supe-
riority over the Mercury AthleLlc
Clubs footballers, the MohaWks
have refused to take anything Tor
granted and their coach, Doctor
Jack Hegarty, today admitted can
didIy that his team regards the
Mercury eleven as its most lot
nidable antagonist of the season. :
Doctor Hegarty, quite aware OF
the severe handicaps of the coacn
in developing a smoothly playing
team from sandlot players, many OF
whom find it difficult to attend
practice regularly, pointed TO lns
individual makeup Of the Mercury
eleven when kidded about the posi-
bility of an easy victory Tor the

PLAYERS. 1t has happened before
that either Mercury or Mohawk mas
sported a superior record only TO
be held to tie in the big annual
game. i.
In the event Mercury is able TO
prevent the Mohawks from cross
ing its goal line, the Indians will
/ cali into use the expert ability Of
shorty O'Connell as a dropkicker,
and make no secret of this plan.
O'ConnelI is the MohaWks' ace In
the hole. He is regarded by veteran
observers as the most dependable
dropkicker and punter that Wash
ington's sandlots have known in
many years. Beyond a question OF
doubt he is the most valuable
player on the Mohawk roster.
He is as capable in a pinch az he
is when booting field goals for prac-
tice.
The possibility OF the issue being
put up to O'Cennell Sunday recalls
that notable contest of 1922 be-
tween Mercury and Mohawk, in
which a Mercury Hnennan, Sullivan,
kicked a placement goal from the
44-yard line to win the battle. Il
was a desperate effort, and fortune
was with Mercury The ball hit

teams in their annual clash, and
that such a game would be an

CLIMB
Coast Is outdoing East in
Producing Ring
Champions y
BY DAVIS J. WALSH
International News Service


NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-"West-
ward, the tide of empire takes its
way" And, unless all signs fair
some of our best and most highly
esteemed fight titles are about to
move with the tide. The East
might as well brace itself for the
shock. The trans-continental move
ment of titles seems inevitable.
It is hardly more than q year
that California has enjoyed the
ten and twelve round game; yet
the coast already has produced two
American champions and has sew
eral more en- route, at least IN tne
smaller classes. They don't seem
to grow them big and good at the
same time in the land beyond the
Sierras. But, otherwise, every
thing is Jacob.
Two nights ago, Tod Morgan. a
Californian. knocked Mike Baller-
inn ont from under his 130-pound
title in the tenth round and, almost
AZ the identical hour and minute,
California. Joe Lynch was getting
the decision over Charley Phil
rosenberg. The latter holds the
y-ather sonorous title of world s
bantanweight champion but con-
trived to retain it on this occasion
because the young men neglected
the fornality of making the ban
tamweight limit.
OF course, Ballerino and Rosen-
berg are a couple of near-bums but
SOS your elderly father. There
isn't a representative champion in
the game today, barring Mickey
Walker, Harry Greb and Paul Ber-
ienbach.
We Thought we had the best
FIvxveiphf i'm the world i'm Frankie
Genaro but FideI La Barba, Of
Los Angeles, only a year ont Of
the amateur game, took him like
GIycerin took rose water, That
was the coasts first title. Nor
gan's was the second. There are
more on the way.
There is. for example. one
Mushey Callahan, lightweight OF
California origin. He slapped down
Pal Moran only a short time ago
and it is a matter OF record that
Pal never before had taken the
count. There is, for another,
Jimmy McLafnln, VINO DeaE the
late Pancho Villa out of a decision
and is now reported to be growing
into a lightweight. &
Either or both probably could
take the title away from Jimmy
Goodrich, although the latter is far
from the sap that some Of the
exhorters would lead one to believe.
James, however. hardly would fig

weights.
AS for welterweights and middle
weights, California can produce a
two in one specimen in Dave
Shade. The latter heat Mickey
Walker by a city block but
referee and two judges were look
ing out the window. Some say that
David can't make the weIterweight
