It is to be regretted that one of t mightiest of them all—Ralph i the Michigander who won I h the 100 and 200-meter dashes at the Olympics—has not sent in his name to the committee in Charge of the entries. He has just a couple more days In which to do so, but it now seeftis beyond all hkeiihood that his friends who have been urging will be able to f ail upon the little flier to aban (l m his intention to retire from the game for good and rest on his laur won at Sweden and on many tn intercollegiate battlefield in the past. H nvever, it Is matter for jubila tion that Crraig is about the only “big man* who will be missing when the starter's pistol goes bang.

Look For Many Upsets. There are bound to be a num ber of upsets of form. In fact, it looks as if a good many of the Olympic winners will suffer the loss of their supreme position in the "champs.” The hurdles, mid dle distance races and jumps look like sure reversals from this seven days distance,, with the weight events appearing the only ones with the odds in favor of their running true to the dope. One of the greatest fights of all will be waged in the half-mile run. where the veteran Mel Sheppard, of the Irish-Americans of New York, copes again with his youthful Olympic conqueror, Ted Meredith, of Mercersburg. Meredith has been doing good running in minor races since the Stockholm games, but nothing like the kind exhibited by- Sheppard. The latter has been within a couple of seconds of rec ord time on several occasions, and not once has ho gone as slow as two minutes even. To make a world's record in a race like the half, a man first has, of course, to be of record caliber. But that does not mean he can break the record every day. Far from it. Such a man may ap proach within fifths of the mark and yet never quite reach it. He has to be lucky enough to strike that lucky one-day wonderful shape that no man can exactly explain. Sheppard, running at least three seconds faster consistently than Meredith recently seems more like ly to experience such a streak of form, and if he does he may wipe Meredith's new record off the boards. Hurdle Mark May Go. The high hurdle event is another that looms up as a tumbler of i THE BASEBALL CARD ! SOUTHERN LEAGUE. Games Today. Atlanta in Memphis. Montgomery in Birmingham.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 14. 1912. Olympic results. John P. Nichol son, the Missouri university timber topper, is expected by many to der feat Fred Kelly, of Los Angeles, the Olympic victor. Nichelson, be fore the Stockholm final, was fig ured the class of the bunch. He got off to a poor start, but caught up to within two feet of the leader at the next to last hurdle. At that point he was going much speedier than any other man when he fell in his overarixiety and, of course, was shut out. \V ende 11, the' Massachusetts youngster, also may miike them all go in this event, and Jack Eller, of the Irish-American A. C., must not be forgotten. The last named seems a certain conqueror in the 220-yard low hurdle event. At least five men—Horine, Erick son, Grumpelt, Lawrence and Thorpe —loom equal to or better than Alma Richards, of Utah, who won the Olympic high jump, and any one of them, or all, may de feat him. Harry Babcock, of the New York A. <?., meets a dozen men who may beat him, in the polo vault. Ben Adams may lick his brother Platt in the standing jumps. With the little darkey, Howard Drew, of Massachusetts, entered in the dashes, he should defeat Meyer and Lippincott. Olympic point win ners, in the absence of Craig. It will be recalled that Drew sprang a tendon in his heat of the Olympic century and was unable to run the final. In the weight events things look different. Matt McGrath, of the Irish-Amerleans, should have little trouble beating his opponents in the hammer throw; Jim Dunean, also a New Yorker, should clean up the discus, and if Ralph Rose fails to appear, Rabe McDonald, the big New York policeman, ought to walk away with the shot put.

Get Rid Os Rheumatism Rubbing' with liniments, blistering the affected parts, the application of plasters, and other means of external treatment, are usually helpful in relieving the pains and aches of Rheumatism. But such treatment does not get rid of the disease, because it does not reach its source. Rheuma tism comes from an excess of uric acid in the blood. This acid circulating through the system acts as an irritant to the nerves, musclesand joints, and produces the inflammation and swelling, and sharp cutting pains char acteristic of the troublf. When the blood is overburdened with uric acid it continually grows thinner and more acrid, and poorer in nourishing qualities. Then Rheumatism Us gjHrX becomes chronic and not only a painful but a dan- JBMiilhiiain g tlousi disease. You can get rid of Rheumatism / fPI I i'V purifying the blood with S. S. S.

Yost Favors Changes Made in Football Rules Four Downs Will Be Big Aid to Light Elevens By Fielding 11. Yofct. Coach Michigan Football Team. Nashville, tenn., sept. 14. A':er careful consideration O: the new code, I do not see that a rule was added or changed by the football rules com mittee that v.iil not be for the betterment of the. game. The rules have been materially simplified so far as they affect the ’ actual play upon the field. For, while but few changes have been made that vitally affect the game, there has been a decided lessen ing of the complexity of the old system. The committee, in my opinion, has at last reached the sought-after combination -that of saving the player and the play. Under the system of 1911 the "break" of the game, v inch em brace s flukes ami chance plays, was "a per cent of the scoring re sult. Under tile present cede, these elements of chance will not go be yond U. per cent, and. in the pro portion that luck has been elimi nated. science, speed, versatility and power have been given their chance to shape results. The changes, as I view them, will not work against the smaller and ’-•w- ■ w aMMtwn-'■»*mEo«amnaana»BW*rrniw ■■ tvonrvMMvw-w lighter teams of ability. The granting of four downs and the right to make a forward pass for any distance and for ten yards in goal have given the lighter team a better chance to win on its merits than this team ever held under the previous rules. Under the old reg ulations it was almost impossible for a light team to gain consist ently by rushing the ball, and so they were forced almost entirely to open field work. Heavier and stronger teams, finding a close defense unneces sary, were able to shift back and thus easily block this open field play. As the rules now stand, the heavier team will he forced to con centrate its defense more than be- NEW DAILY TRAIN COLUMBUS==ATLANTA SPECIAL via SOUTHERN RAILWAY Premier Carrier of the South Effective Sunday, September 15th, 1912.
