Morris Meets McFarlandHere; Wolgast Battles Ritchie, and Mandot Faces Rivers on Coast By Left Hook. WHILE no championship is at stake tonight in the heavy weight mill at the Dixie Athletic club, it should prove an in teresting affair, nevertheless. Carl Morris will probably find Jack Me -I’arland a much stronger opponent than Jack Keating, and th. bout should go the ten scheduled rounds. It will be a slugging affair, and tiiat is the brand of sport local fistic followers desire. McFarland has a prettj fait record tor a beginner Fie certainly looks like a comer, olid, according to his Johnny Oliver, who has managed many top-notchers, McFarland can lit as hard as any heavyweight in rite world. Tonight’s fight means a heap to Morris. He still believes that he 111 capture the crown that rests uneasily on the head of Jack Johnson. But if McFarland should happen to knock him out. or even get the verdict, it means back to tiie engine in Sapulpa. And-there will be a keg of good Atlanta money for the winner to night. too. The club promoters have arranged to put the victor on with Tom Kennedy, and the win ner of that mill with Jim Stewart. In fact, it is the plan of the club owners to hav< a scries of bouts which will eliminate all the “dead ones” and find the real “white hope.” Corking Semi-Windup Bout. file semi-windup tonight will prove, every bit as interesting as the big show. Spider Britt and Mvy> ,■ Pries, two small packages of dyna mite, will clash for the 'steenth time. And any fan who has ever seen them mix it up knows that there will be action galore, Mike Saul and Tommy Lavelle will go six rounds, while Young Attell and Kid Superior are seliefi ded to go four spasm.;. :’.i i> J’IVD Important iightv i-rht bat tles Will be staged on the Pacific ■i.'C today.

The Wolgast-Ritviiie affair has ..roused a tremendous amount of enthusiasm in sporting circles, and It should be so, for Ritchie i- one of the must promising light weights in the land. A year ago he was almost unknown outside of San Francisco, while today he is con sidered a serious contender for the championship. Ritchie got his first opportunity To win fame in the squared arena on last Thanksgiving day. Freddy Welsh, the present English light weight champion, was scheduler • ■ meet Wolgast in a battle for the title at Vernon, Cal. On the very eve of the struggle. Wolgast was stricken with appen dicitis. and was forced to call oif his go with the boxer from across the Atlantic. Ritchie Made Long Trip. On the afternoon of November 24, Ritchie received a wire from Tom McCarey, reading as follows: “\\ ill you meet Freddy Welsh tomorrow (Thanksgiving)? If acceptable, take the afternoon train for the South.” Ritchie boarded the train for the South, rode 500 miles, and took breakfast in a Los Angeles case. Willie was unheralded and was unattended by a manager or a pal. He was among strangers, but his courage never deserted him for a moment. He finally secured a cou- iWx.

The veteran promoter thought that Ritehie was twenty-six or twenty-seven years of age 'when he sent him his wire, and was taken b> surprise at his youthful appear ance. “How old are you?” he asked. “Never mind; I can tight,” re sponded Ritchie. M illie was engaged to box Welsh and he donned ring togs immediate ly. as the “fans” were already gathered around the -ringside and were eager for hostilities to begin. M ben the men shook hands, they I presented a great contrast. Welsh was well groomed, was smiling and evidently thought that he would win with ease. Ritehie. on the other hand, ap peared tired and care worn. The long train ride had, of course, done him no good, while he had not trained a day for the contest. Re gardless of this handicap, lie gave Welsh a stirring battle for twenty rounds, and in the latter part ot the bout he was carrying the light to the Welshman. Got Bout With Wolgast. Ritchie’s showing against W elsh attracted widespread attention. He secured many’ good dates after ward and last .May he was selected as an opponent for Wolgast. The bout was only a four-round affair, and was arranged in order to test the “Michigan Wildcat’s” strength. No decision was given, but the majority’ of the critics at the ring side stated that Ritchie had the be tter of the mixing. He kept after ids opponent from the tap of the gong and gave him a terrific beat l ing. That was seven months ago when Ad was just regaining his strength I after being operated upon. The distance of the bout was also four rounds. Ritchie is a product of the four-round route, while Wolgast has always done his best work in I twenty-round contests. If Wolgast is at his best, he -iiotlld defeai Ritchie today.

BRICKLEY. tiie z mighty Harvard football star, lias been crowned king of the ollege gridiron players by the foot ball experts and followers of the country. The Everett, Mass., boy has proved that he is without a peer. Brickley is a sophomore at Har vard and as a result will be with the team for two more years. He is improving and should be even better in 1913 than he Is now, if sueli a thing is possible. Fol lowing are statements by some of the leading football authorities in the country, who saw the Harvard- Yale game, in ■which they give their opinion of Charley’ the Great: By PERCY HAUGHTON. (Harvard Football Coach.) Charlie Brickley maintained bls reputation as the best drop-kicker in the country, and to this he has added that of being an exceptional ly clever halfback. Not only did he make more punts, but he made more ground than any man on either team. By MAURICE B. “LEFTY” FLYNN. (Yale’s Star Fullback.) Charley Brickley is one of the grandest football players who ever donned armor. He vindicated all the praises that have been sung over him. He is the most versatile back J have ever seen.

Nov. 28.—Plans for a radical change in Yale’s football coach ing system will be taken up by’ the new athletic committee during the winter, but it is impossible to forecast its action. Most of the older football alumni wish a graduate coach of ex perience appointed for a series of years, demanding that a progressive system be established, and pointing out that Yale lias won from Harvard and Princeton only once the past four years. i Till this year tiie question would have been settled surely by the football cap tain for next year. A new athletic constitution was adopted the past spring turning matters of athletic pol icy to the new committee which was then chosen and which lias organized this fall for action. The undergrad uate members of the committee, in cluding the captains and managers of the four major sports teams, are a ma jority on the committee. Yale’s football coaching headquar ters at the Hotel Taft were closed last night for this season. Head (,’oach Howe has gone to his home in New Jersey and will devote tiie remainder of this school year to Y. M. C. A. work. He may study law later.

Former Exeter Player Made Good From the Start With Crimson. His goals were well planned and kicked to perfection. By PAUL WITHINGTON. (Assistant Graduate Treasurer Har vard Athletic Association.) Brickley played the greatest game of his career and demonstrat ed to the satisfaction of all his friends that the dastardly attack published Friday by the Boston press and purporting to come from a former Exeter coach was entirely untrue, to say the least. Never has Brickley shown to better ad vantage and bls playing Saturday was more skillful and harder than at any time this year. He played errorless ball rind he was in every play throughout the game. Two drop goals, a touchdown, two in tercepted forward passes ami two long runs in a Harvard-Yale game are enough for any player to be proud of, but Brickley’ added to this splendid defense tackling, good ’ judgment and speed in all his line plunging. By DR. ARTHUR E. BRIDES. (Ones Famous Yale Tackle.) Brickley, because of his wonder ful kicking and line plunging, de serves a place in football fame sec ond to none. By ROBERT T. FISHER. (Captain of Harvard in 1911.) Just as Felton upheld the honors in punting, so did Brickley- come up to all expectations in his drop kicking. Two successful tries out of four in a Harvard and Yale con test is a record which Brickley may well be proud of. But Brickley's kicking was only one of his many good points which he displayed in the game. By HENRY H. HOBBS. (Former Yale Tackle.) Brickley was the most conspicu ous man on the field. He scored a touchdown on a fast run around Yale’s left end. He kicked two pretty field goals. He also made a brilliant run after intercepting a forward pass. His secondary de fense against both line rushing ami open plays left little,to be desired. Brickley was in all respects a fin ished player. By JAMES W. SCULLY. JR. (Yale’s Line Coach.) Brickley played a wonderful gulm and was directly responsible for fourteen of the twenty points scored. His drop kicking was th-' best ever seen in a Yale-Harvard game and hi. general headwork on the defense and coolness stamp him as being a great football player. He ran well with the ball, hitting the line with great drvles, and showing some great form in end running. In fact, the playing of the whole Harvard backfield offen sively and defensively could hardly be improved. Bv HAMILTON FISH. JR. (Former Harvard Tackle.) In Brickley Harvard has not only a great back, but a splendid drop kicker who can get the ball away quicker ami surer than any one who has played in the game for a long while. -Z<ATO k MARTIN MAY X* 19*4 PEACHTREE STREET UPSTAIRS STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL UNREDEEMED PLEDGES , X.

Many an ulcer which could have been cured if it had been properly treated, in time, has been allowed to remain open un til it became infected with some degenerate poison from the outside which made it a malignant, eating sore. Most old sores come from an impure and polluted condition of the blood and can be healed if the circulation is cleansed and purified of the predisposing cause. To attempt to cure a chronic ulcer with salves, washes, lotions, etc. is trifling with what may become a serious condition. S. S. S. heals chronic ulcers in a perfectlv natural way. It goes down into the blood and removes the impurities and matters whiqh are the means of keeping the place open; then the sore is bound to heal. Not only does S. S.
