five or six man trying out for each

place on the varsity are as follows
Three Out for Center.
At center are the scrappy A1 Loeb
who is heavier than last year and
ran hold his own with most any of

big 200-pounder from last year’s
or rubs.
Rig F5d Means will be on one guard
while Morrison. Merville and Gole

The team will be well fortified at
ta< kies by Rainey, a hefty sub of lav
year; Johnston, the Chattanooga

Mallory the I,ou1aville High Rcho .i

The ends will be taken care of by
Bushman. the Chattanooga epee]

With Pntton to do the line plung

SPORTING COMMENT
w'
By Ed W. Smith.
-HY is it that the big men
of the ring, the heavyweight.*,
have been the pests that have
stirred up trouble and more or lea*
have always been the disturbing
element In having the game
stopped in various place*’ You've
noticed, haven't you, that big fel
low’* usually are concerned when
trouble starts'.’ This idea is sug
gested bv the "confession'' made
by Arthur PtelkyVthe man w ho wna
in the ring with Luther McCarty
w lien the latter dropped dead in a
Calgary ring. Pelky says IPs battle
with Tommy Burns, n six-round af
fair of last March, was a 'frame'
and that It was previously re
hearsed several times Burns later
managed Pelky and a abort time
ago announced that he intended to
lake him to Europe and possibly
'gel on a match with Jack Johnson
• • •
F OLLOWING recent fatalities «n
the ring this ' confession.” even
U Is after war da found to have no
foundation, is going to do a whole
lot of harm. Unfortunately, the
target of Pelk' » remarks, who
makes vehement dental to th» whole
thing, has been mixed up in pecu
liar looking affairs before and In
stantlv that old scandal out in Los
Angeles between Tommy Burns and
Jack O’Brien, of Philadelphia, is
brought tn mind when the former's
connection with this latest off
color scandal Is uncovered Bums
and O’Brien were matched out there
and later development* were to the
effect that Burns had agreed to
let O'Brien stay the distance or Ut
him win or something of the kind.
As they were ready to start the
content Burns advised O'Brien that
the battle would have to be on the
level O'Brien thereupon made a
desperate effort to ha\e the bets
called off. but failed and the ring
sole scandal lhat ensued is still
being discussed out that way
• • •
OCANDAL has trailed Burns in
v other directions There was a
row when he failed to battle Rob
Fitzsimmons at Esaington. Pa., and
there was much sour talk around
here when Mike Schreck was bat
tling at his beat and Tommy re
fused to meet him. Nasty telegrams
were produced to ehow that Burns
wanted to "talk it over'' with John
\\ .lie but a 1 of this was forgot
ten when Burns won the heavy
weight championship by defeating
Marvin Han.
• • •
T HERE’S an old rtngaide saying
that the "bigger they are the
harder they fall " In the light of re
cent events well have to change
that to read "The bigger they arc.
the less courage they have.” At
least the assumption is that fixer*
are entirely .acking in courage or
e!.*o they wouldn't want to fix Good
little men like Bat Nelson, Ad Wol-
cap' Freddie Welsh. Packey Mr
Fariftnd. Willie Ritchie, and dozens
of others we could name, have al-
way s been content to otand on their
• wn merits and fight their beet
losing if they must, but always
losing Honorably.
VT08T notable of all the aoan-
* VI rialou* tlghi* of the rlnc that I
entailed a lot of suspicion have been
among the bigger men. There was
an awful stencli following the night
that Big McYey jumped into the
ring the night Jim Corbett and Tom
Sharkey were boxing and lost the |
fight for Corbett on a foul. The
facts of the Wyatt Karp decision
in San Francisco the night Sharkey
Is supposed to have been beaten by
Bob Fitzsimmons on a foul are stlil
fresh In the minds of those who
follow such matters, to say nothing
of the scandal that followed the
Jim Corbett-Kid McCoy encounter
at the expiration of the boxing law
in New York in 1899
* • •
’"THERE was much trouble over
* the Jack Root-Tommy Ryan
battle in Philadelphia and more
recently almost everybody will re
call that scandal came out of the
Jack Johnaon-Stanley Ketchel bat

I him down with the aid of a base.
r>all # bat. So it looks as if the mon
umental faking has been done
among the big fellow*, though
doubtless there are many entirely
honest and upright men trying to
battle their way into h prominent
place 1n that division Probably
there are a lot of rhady boys among
the minor class** too. but they cer
tainly never pulled off things aa
rotten a* acme of those shown by
the heavies.

IT BEHOOVES those Athletics to

game®, although they can continue
to do w> safely unless the Cleve
land bunch braces and win* now
and then while the Sox and a few
other teams are taking vigorous
w a Hops at the Philadelphia gang.
The Naps certainly have wilted sad
ly under the present strain, worse
even than did Mack's crew They
haven’t shown a high degree of
courage, that’s sure

THE end of the baseball races is

exciting One league or the other
may pull a close finish, but it isn't

used to the fire and nothing is going

ANOTHER LOCAL LADY
WONDERFULLY BENEFITED
It certainly must be a pleasant
surprise for a person to find a re
lief from long years of suffering,
especially when they have tried al
most every treatment on the mar
ket. Quaker Herb Extract and Oil
of Balxn are surprising these suf
ferer* every day. There have been
thousands of bottles of the Quaker
Herb Extract sold in this city, and
the sale is increasing every day.
What is the cause of this wonderful^
demand” Here is a report thaJf
will explain, arid others that you
read about every day.
Miss Florence Harris, who lives
with her mother and father at ID
Lindsay street, has taken two and
one-hatf bottle* of the Quaker
Herb Extract, and this has caused
her to expel a female tumor or
growth which she says positively
weighed in the neighborhood of
eight pounds. She said she tried
every doctor of any repute, with
the advice from each one that an
operation would be necessary. She
also state* after this thing was re
moved she had to go to her family
physician and have several appli
cations made to overecy*i<* th*=* irri
tation caused by this trouble
She could do walking any kind
and could t enia in up for Just a few-
hour* at the time Buffered from
shortness of breath. She was very
weak for some time after this thing
was expelled. Now. as 1 have just
stated, there is no doubt but some
thing was expelled, and no doubt
she is sincere in her statement.
She U very enthusiastic over the
result* obtained.
If you suffer as did this woman,
or with rheumatism, catarrh, liver,
kidney, blood troubles, call to-day \
at. Coursey & Munn’s I>rug Store,
29 Marietta street, and obtain Qua- j
ker Herb Extract 6 bottle* for SR;
3 for S3.50. or $1 per bottle Oil of
Balm. 25c. nr 6 for $1 We prepay
express charges on all order* of 88
or over.
