NEW YORK. Aug B.—Both Young I
Jack <>’Brien and I.eaeh Cross today '
claimed victory as a result of their ten
lound boxing contest at St. Nicholas
rink last night. Fight fans who saw '
the contest were divided in their opin- I

for O'Brien, while still others thought I
that the boys had fought to a draw.
O'Brien, who is not yet 19 years old. 1
showed himself a marvel of speed, and :
at times had the New York lightweight]
guessing by his fast work. in the fourth I
round Cross tried to .put the Phlladel- I

but Jack stood up and saved himself.

COBB MAY DEMAND $45,000!
FOR NEXT THREE YEARS
DETROIT. Aug 8. This is Ty Cobb's
last year under the $27,(100 contract
which he signed three years ago with
the Detroit club. Before the great play
ei dons a uniform next spring lie will
have to be signed to a new agreement,
and it is needless to say that Ulis will
call for decidedly more salary than he
is at present drawing.
Cobb is mum on the subject; only to
say that if he plays next year he will
be well paid. While there is nothing
authentic about It, it is asserted that
he proposes to demand a three-year
contract which calls for $45,000. a figl
ure by no means exorbitant when his
ability as a player and his drawing pro
clivities are taken into consideration.

The Oldest Blood Disease
The most ancient history furnishes evidence that mankind suffered
with Contagious Blood Poison. The disease has come down through all
the ages and is to-day, as it has ever been, a scourge and blight upon hu
manity. The symptoms of Contagious Blood Poison are the same as in its
; earliest history, but its cure has now become an accomplished fact, where-
I as, it was once considered an incurable infection. S. S. S. is an antidote
efor the virus of Contagious Blood Poison, and cures
it in all its forms and stages. S. S. S. possessing
both purifying and tonic properties routs out all the
poison, and at the same time builds up the general
health. A person who has been cured of Conta
gious Blood Poison by the use of S. S. S. need not
fear a return of its symptoms at any future time.
This great medicine checks the progress of the
poison and gradually but surely all sores and erup
tions heal, ulcerated mouth and throat pass away,
the hair stops falling out, copper-colored splotches
’ fade away, and when the blood is thoroughly purified no sign of the disease
:is left. Home Treatment book and anv'medical advice free.
