The March af Advanced Science Throughout the World AND ITS VALUE TO US A Declaration Made by the Great Doe- ter Fothergill for the Benefit of the People of the World Has Aroused Much Attention. LONDON, Eng., September. — The following statement, made by the late Dr. J. Milner Fother- gill, the eminent sclentist, who was for the Loudon Hospital for Diseases of the Ctest, has made quite a sensation. After denouncing olls and similar substances when used as food, he said: “Fatty, olly foods cannot be taken by those whose stomachs are weak or whose digestive organs are out of order. What food should such people have? I say they need food which acts as @ strengthener and’ sustainer, as fuel to feed the lamp of life, and that Is starch food. A soluble starch food which will be readily assimilated by the digestive organs ts the food for people whose digestive organs are weal It was ouly natural that such 9 statement, com- wat, J. MILNER FOTHERG ing from so high aa authority, should have made & profound impression among the leading physicians and selentists of Euroyt, and it brings into special prominence the recent discovery of predigested starch food known to doctors, to selentists and the world as Paskola, Comparatively few people outside the highest medical circles Know of this wonderful discovers, but it Ix known to possess the qualities of flesh-forming, strength-imparting, life- power Which bas never been known before in the history of the world, s have been made upon patients in a weak, run-down condition, accompanted with indi- gestion and general loss_of energy, and the results are truly remarkable, It really looks as though this newly discovered food-Paskola—will take its rank as the most efticient flesh-producer and cure for dyspepsia of the nineteenth century, It ts certainly superseding cod liver oil and the fatty preparations which have been used so extensively, and this but contirms the wisdom of the judgment of those Who predicted for it unequaled success. In the treatment of disease, as in all else, “The proof of the pudding is In the eating.” The Rev. A. F. Beebe of Worth Center, N. Y., 18 but one of thousands who have been benefited by this in- genious and valuable preparation. He writes, under date of April 14, 1504, as follow: “I can troly say it ts a pleasure to give to the world a testimonial in regard to Paskola, for it has certainly accomplished wonders for myself and wife. We have taken $4.50 worth, less than the price of one visit from our physician, and it has done for us what no doctor's prescription or patent medicine has ever done. For twenty-five years I have suffered untold miseries through a disordered stomach. For years I have had to abstain from meats, but after one dose of Paskola have eaten meat or any other food my appetite craved, with no evil results, ‘In regard to my wife I hardly know how to write. It certainly appears like a miracle. Months passed with her with no appetite, and so reduced fn flesh and vitality was she that we were looking for nothing short of a speedy death. But Provi- dence appeared in the shape of a little pamphlet tucked under the string of a package brought from @ neighboring town and by me tossed upon the table with the remark, ‘Here, wife, is something to cure your fils and give you an etite.’ She read it and said to me, ‘I have faith to believe that if { had that Paskola it would help me.’ The next day I secured a bottle and she began taking it. That was four weeks ago. ‘Today she can eat anything she craves—something she has not before done in months. “I regret we did not weigh ourseives before we began to take Puskola, but the truth fs that I had no great faith In it, so many things had failed, but you have won our lasting gratitude. You can make such use of this testimonial as you wish. I send it for the simple reason that I have the good of my fellow-men at heart."” Such words as these carry conviction, A pamphlet fully describing Paskola and what it does will be sent free to any address by the Pre- digested Food Co., 30 Reade st., New York.

The associaticn, it is said, will play 25-cent ball next season. It will embrace Pittsburg, New York, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Boston, Columbus, Indianapolis and Chicago or Buf- talo, The Pittsburg club will be managed by Mr. Buckenberger and Mr, Scandrett. It will be backed by the Pittsburg ‘Traction Company, in which W. L. Elkins has a con- trolling interest. Mr. Eliing is also taking up most of the financial burden in Philadel- phia. : One of the leading spirits is Mr. Al. John- son, who is to own clubs in New York and Brooklyn, one of avhich is to be managed, it is said, by Wm. Barnie of Louisviile. It is stated among the details that Mr. Frank Richter of the Sporting Life in Phiia- celphia has already got hold of the old Brotherhood park in Philadelphia, and will be the principal man jn that city, Fred. Pfetfer will probably manage in Chicago and Ward and Comiskeywill be among the managers. Many of the players of the present league teams have been signed by the new organi- zation, including Beckley, Bierbauer, Smith and Stenzel, Lowe of Bcston,Joyce andAbbey of Washington, Cross, Delehanty and Taylor of Philadelphia. The new association will try to avoid conflicting dates with the league. Many Rumors. From now on rumors will be rife as to the new circuit and the players which will ‘be secured by each team. Little o> no credence, however, shculd be placed in such reports, and it is hardly likely that anything defi- nite as to the circuit or as to the players will be done until after the next meeting’ of the league, which is scheduled to take place in November, Every city has a circuit of its own that it would like to see adopted, and even those who will hold big positions in the associa- tion are at sea as to what circuit will final- ly be adopted. The organization is, though, in favor of twenty-five and fifty-cent bail, which will make it popular with the masses at once, eGuningle, the old Brooklyn manage-, in Boston yesterday, and said he had Teceived on offer to manage a team in the new association. No one in Boston is anx- fous to enter a club in the new association, although it would pair off in good shape with Providence. Yhé Congress street grounds, where the o@ brotherhood club Played, cannot be | as the grounds will be broken up next. apring. In Cleveland it has :been rumored that nearly every man on*the:team has been ap- preached in one way Sr #rother, and nobody there doubts that thk.s¢heme is one of big Proportions and will be organized, but it will not go in Clevelamd, unless indications are away off. Manager’ Tebeau and Presi- dent Robison said yesterday that the Cleve- land players to a man would be loyal to the league. 42 ng The former said: “‘T'we men on the team admit that they have had communications on the subject. I belfeye that others have been approached, but. pone will take the bait here. The Cleveland club will be of about the same material next year and in the league.” ‘The tw@ ‘nven referred to are supposed to be Catcher O'Connor and Left Fielder Burkett. President Robison, it ts said, will favor fighting the new organiza- tion from the start. Manager Bancroft's Idea, A dispatch from Cincinnati last night says: Base ball people here are discussing the Proposed new base ball association and the sentiment appears unanimous that it would be a good thitg. Manager Bancroft of the Cincinnatis heard a great deal of it on his recent eastern trip. He said tonight that, if organized, the new league would be com- posed of eight clubs, which would reduce the number of old league clubs to eight. The plan that met with the most favor, he said, was the one to take Brooklyn and Washington in the east and Cleveland and Louisville in the west, from the present tion composed, Of irpokiyz ¥ on, im, ol rooklyn, Washington, Providence and Albany in the east and Cleveland, Louisville, Indianapolis and But- falo in the west. This would form a strong organization and leave the old league with the strongest circuit it ever had. The new organization will co-operate with the old league in all matters: Gro at Pittsburg. A Pittsburg special says: Grounds have already been secured in Oakland. They have been provided by the 5th avenue and Forbes avenue street car lines, free of expense to the new ball man- agement. These lines expect to get their money back through the travel on their cars to the games. The Pittsburg players who have already consented to unite their fortunes with the new scheme are Beck- ley, Smith, Blerbauer, Stenzel and Menefee. The best players of the Baltimore team are also in the deal. Frank Richter of Philadelphia is one of the leaders of the movement, despite all denials to the contrary he may make. The old nemes of ball teams are to be revived. The Mutuais for New York, Ath- letics for Philadelphia, Atlantics for Brook- lyn, White Stockings for Chicago, Alle- ghenys for Pittsburg, etc. Mr. Diddlebock’s Explanation. Sporting Editor Diddlebock of the Phila- delphia Inquirer scouts the idea that a war is to be made on the National League. He explains the recent publications re- garding a new base ball organization as follows: “There has been a great deal written about the formation of a new league for next year, and Col. John I. Rogers and other National League men believe that the Players’ League people are preparing to renew the old warfare, but I believe them to be mistaken. Just about a month ago Al- bert L. Johnson, Francis C. Richter, editor of Sporting Life, and, the sporting editor of the Inquirer, held’ a-conference at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, Wew York, at which it was determined to drgdnize a new asso- ciation to be know}i, fs the American League. This league syas not to antagonize the National Leagué, mut was to work in harmony with it understhe national agree- ment, and its clubs iver to play upon Na- tional League groufjis)"under a non-con- flicting schedule, and tha two leagues were to interchange players upon a plan to be hereafter cutlined. The#New York confer- ence was supposed, to, have been secret, but in some way the plan leaked out in a garbled form, and ever since sensational Stories of the reorgantzstion of the Players’ League have been in ciftulalion. There will be no Brotherhood gud no Players’ League in 1895. This can be.retted upon.” ee HAS BARNIE SoLD ouT? : ieee Loulsville’s Franéhixe Terms Accept- ed by Milwaukee, Manager Barnie of the Louisville base ball club practically completed’ a deal in Mil- waukee yesterday for the transfer of the Louisville national league franchise to Mil- waukee. . Negotiations to this end have been in pro- gress for nearly a year, says a Louisville ¢cispatch. Final action was delayed until some time ago, when President Byrne of Brooklyn went to Milwaukee and looked the field over. He stated that he favored the admission of Milwaukee to the National League. Mr. Barnie had a conference with H. D. Quinn and the other local base ball men yesterday, and the terms of the trans- fer were agreed upon. The Louisville team will play out the Na- tional League schedule and the Milwaukee team will remain in the Western League until the close of the season. Next year, however, Louisville will drop out of the Na- — League and Milwaukee will take its place A special dispatch from Louisville is as follows:, “President Stucky and the other officials ‘of the Louisville club deny the re- port of the sale. Mr. Stucky says Mr. Barnie has been after players. We could not afford to quit base ball; we built a stand last season that cost $20,000, and we have our grounds leased for ten years at $3,000 per year.” BOYD WAS HIT HARD. League Pitcher Was in the Box for Washington, Washington played a seven-inning game with Cleveland yesterday and lost it. In the first inning Selbach twisted his ankle and Ward was ordered out of the game for insolence to the umpire. Haddock play- ed right field and Boyd, lately secured from the Roanoke club, occupied the. box. The youngster was batted hard and received poor support. Schmelz’s men started off well with three runs in tke first, but Cleveland fol- lowed suit and kept on tallying with ease through the of the Washing- tonians’ misplay.

The umpires are again abusing Wash- ington’s long-suffering base ball nine. Brigandage in Italy is not a marker to the robbery of the local team in the west, ac- cording to reports. Virgiula State League star pitchers are not effective against league batsmen, as was found at Cleveland yesterday. Baltimore enthusiasts met last night and arranged for a great reception to the Orioles when they return from the west triumphant. The proposed special train to this city to meet the team here was not agreed upon. Washington “rooters” will probably be at the B. and O. station to greet the Balti- mores as they pass through on their way home. A cordia] reception would be a graceful act. THE FOOT BALL DATES. Yale Wants to Play Princeton the Saturday After Thanksgiving. Yale will try to arrange to have the Princeton game take place the Saturday after Thanksgiving this year. On account of the three-year agreement Yale must play Harvard upon the Saturday before Thanks- giving day. There is much fault being found with this, as Yale would like to have her struggle with the crimson team a week earlier than the agreement demands. Manager Cable of Harvard said several! days ago that Harvard will not consent to changing the dates, and that if more time is to intervene between the two big games it must be done by playing Princeton later. For this reason the Yale management will make every effort to have the date changed for the great contest with Princeton. ‘Capt. Hinkey said last night that as yet rothing had been dane in the matter. As tice is had twice a day. Mning up before Monday. Although the idea of holding the annual Princeton-Yale foot bail match later than Thanksgiving day is in favor of New Haven, the sentiment at Princeton is directly oppo- site. “Thanksgiving day is regarded by Princeton men as the natural termination of the foot ball season and any other date is entirely cut of favor. Capt. Trenchard, when seen last night, said: “Yes, I understand that Yale does vant the game postponed. We, however, heartily favor Thanksgiving day. not say that we positively reject every date, but we greatly- prefer the usual day. There will be no Thanksgiving is a favorite day for the game | among Princeton men.” YESTERDAY'S RACING. Alexander Island. First—Four furlongs.

The Eureka Athletic Club gave a fistic entertainment at their new quarters on Alexander Island last evening. It proved thoroughly interesting to about 300 of the better element of the genus “sport,” who took the trouble to go that far to see the scraps. The affair was well managed, and, with the exception of an incipient riot at one stage, passed off with good order. Five sparring bouts were scheduled and six were given. A man who said his name wes Duffy for such occasions only acted as referee in all the bouts. He made a preliminary announcement that the club would be fully established in their new quarters by the Ist proximo and that it Would exhibit only first-class talent. He added that Mr. Wm. Nally, @ local pugitist, who was present, desired to challenge the winner of the bout between Holcombe and Ccnnors, Nothing more was heard from Nally on the subject, and, so far as known, no fight was arranged between him and Connors, the victor of the battle. The first bout was between Howard Wil- son and Billy Patton, both colored and both of Washington. Wilson was a favorite, and bets were made on him at 20 to 15. The first round showed that Pa ton was outclassed. He had no guard, and Wilson upper cut him with both hands ter- ribly. ere were to have been eight rounds in this contest, but four was all that Patton could stard. Alfred Hoerael, a young white man, who was iniroduced as the “Texas cyclone,” and Obe Baker, a very black boy of the Dis- trict, were opponents in the next bout. It was to have been for six rounds, but lasted only three. The Texan's cyclonic tendencies were not developed until the , third round, wher the fighting began ‘in earnest, and right and left-hand blows were exchanged in quick successidn, in the midst of which Baker dropped slowly to the floor and refused to fight any more. The third bout was between Monk Robin- son, a very black negro of this city, and Bart Holmes, a stalwart mulatto of New York. They came together ike twe wild bulls, slugging viciously, without much at- science. In ‘the second round obinson landed several savage blows on is opponent's neck, and soon had him very groggy. He knocked him down twice, | the last. time Helmes falling through the | rope and off the platform. He was unable to respond within the allotted ten seconds, the fight was awarded to the Washing- ton man. Irving Knocks Out Lash. Next came two white boys, Ralph Irving and George Lash by name. They are resi- dents of the District, and are enemies of long standing. They were both in fine con- dition, and it was easy to see that they cant bre!ness. Lash had trained specially for this meeting, and was looked after by Fred Morris, a professional colored pugilist of some note. After a few moments’ spar- ring for an opening, Irving shot out his left arm like a piston rod and Lash fell flat on his back. He sprang to his fe2t immediate- ly «nd rushed at his opponent, and the two were fighting savagely when the round erd- ed. The second rourd was rather tame at first, Lash forcing the fighting. After some ineffectual fidéling, irving again made use of his terrible left. He struck but cne blow, but it settled the fight. It was a swinging under-cut, and landed flush on the I would | point of the jaw. Lash fell flat on his back and struggled all gver the floor of the ring in his desperate efferts to regain his feet and resume the fight. His game efforts, however, were tmeffectual, and he was counted out by the referee while he was ‘still endeavering to rise to his feet. lt was a rare exhibition of gameness, and made him many friends. He recovered rapidly, however, and elmost cried at his unexpect- ed downfall. He said that he was not hurt at all, and showed, by his conversation, that he did ret kiow exactly how it all had happened. Brown and Banks, two local colored fight. ers, furnished an extra bout, and it was 80 fast and furious that it caused more ex- citement than any of the others. There were six rounds, considerab! The Welter-Weight Champion Beaten. Then ceme the last and star event of the even'ng. It was a fifteen-round contest be- tween Charlie Holcombe, the welter-weight champion cf the District, and “Chuck” Con- nors, a member of the Down Town Club of New York, whe was brought here specially Holcombe played @ waiting game, end acted almost entirely on the defensive. Connors is a very most tention to his body. Holcombe succeeded, however, in landing two or three hard inaged to dodge a Jended frequently with his right and left on Holcombe's head, but did not seem to disturb the locai champion very much, ex- cept to make him more wary. Holcombe was the favorite with the betters. Before the fight the odds were five to three in his favor, and after he landed three hard body blows in the third round the odds in his favor rose = one. Connors, however, was a much ter man than he was given credit for, and seemed to be able to stand a good deal of punishment. He was infinitely superior to Holcombe as a sparrer, and clearly outpointed him at almost . every Stage of the game. Holcombe did very lit- tle fighting up to the* fifteenth and last round. He then tried to redeem himself, but it was tuo late, and every blow he gave ‘vas returned by Conno:s with interest, and there was no one ia the house, except Hol- combe, to dispute the referee's decision in favor of Connors. Holcombe was baGly dis- appointed at the result and was as mad as a wet hen. It is said, in explanation of Hol- combe's poor showing. that he injured his left forearm severely in the tenth round, and was unable to ve it effectively thereaf- ter.
