Lefty Dav broke his leg the same way on the same | grounds, and Mike Donlin fractured a leg while making & alide on the Cintinnati) grounds; Another player who broke a leg | sliding was Otis Clyme | As a matter of fact the second cushion has been prominent as a station at which accidents have occurred. There have been innumerable spikings at that position, most of them accidental, but & few inten- tional, and oth: accidents resulting in the incapacitating of a player for a considera- ble length of time. Year before last Larry | Doyle was stepped on by John Hummel while the latter was trying to reach second base at the Polo grounds, and Larry was out of it for the rest of the season. In a previous season Tim Donahue of the Chi- cago Nationals was severely spiked by | Jack Warner while the latter was making | a slide, Harry Steinfeldt and Napoleon Li- | Joie had a collision at second base. Every- body thought for a moment that Steinfeldt had been killed, but -he soon recovered. Lajoie, howeve result of the accident | developed water on the knee and was out of the game for a considerable length of time. Hal Chase has been spiked on the hand a couple of times sliding to second. Fewer and in some cases fatal accidents on the ball field, however, have been more due to other causes, such as head-on col- lisions and players being struck by pitched and batted balls. Already this sea- son there has been a death from a pitcher being struck by a batted ball. Also dad- gerous is a swiftly pitched ball, the narrow escape of Roger Bresnahan two vears ago being a proWinent case in point. A singular fatality was that the other day a boy was hit on the head by a fly ball, death re- sulting in a few hours, AERO CONTEST FOR OCTOBER St. Louis the Place for the Interma- tionnl Balloon Waces Also.

RULES ARE HARD TO EJNICE; Most Colleges Are Tryim, Amatenr Rul to Rase B s Well as to the Other Sport NEW YORK, Aptll 9.~With the base ball | season once again under way the interest- | Ing and puzsling problem in collegiate athletics becomes again prominent. It Is well known that some of the colleges in the country have entirely given up (heir efforts of prohibiting the playing of sum- mer base ball for money or its equivalent by thelr students. d These colleges say that it is not prac- ticable to enforce the amateur rules with regard to this sport; that it has been tried n the past and failed; that it is better to come out squarely and permit the students | to play. for money under certain restrictions than (o prohibit it and not be able o en- force the prohibition. They also say that | the efforts toward control result In a great eal of hypocrisy and falsifying with a Jonsequent greater injury to the student body than the open permission to the play- | ers to spend their summer vacation in play- Ing base ball for money. These colleges permit men who play on professional teams during the summer time to play in Inter- colleglate contests the following spring. There are other Institutions which aie endeavoring to control this matter by allow- ing the students to play summer base ball | for money, but not permitting them to| play afterward in intercollegiate contests. In order to give them opportumity of play- ing base ball in the spring speclal teams of ineligibles are formed and these play | with the intercollegiate representatives, but do not take part in intercolleglate contests, Most of the colleges of the land are en- | deavoring to_apply the amateur rules to college base ball as well as to other forms of sport, These institutions find that it is a most difficult problem in intercolleglate athletics with which they have to deal. | Very stringent rules are necessary, and ! the temptations to violate them are so| great that many students undoubtedly do | 50 and then conceal the fact. } The demand for good base ball players| is s0 great In this sport-loving country that the problem is bound to continue no]‘ be a most serfous one. Many organisa- tions are dealing with the subject fn a | most drastic manner and have succeeded in- applying amateur rules pretty (hor-| oughly to summer base ball among the colleg and universities represented in thelr membership. Among these colleges | are (he Intercollegiate Southern associa- | tion, the Ohio State assoclation and the | “Big Nine," centering about Chicago. | The Intercollegiate -Athletic association | has been studying the question for several | years. It obtained a report in 1907 from all | parts of the country, which showed that | the evasion of the amateur rules in sum- | well, and for this purpose we have prepared a sp mer base ball was prevalent among, college athletes In all parts of this country Since then it has had committees working on the ! subject endeavoring, first, to get a satis- faotory enunciation of the amateur law, | and, second, 1o devise a uniform means for enforeing this law with respect to sum- mer base ball. The task is not an easy one and it is by no means as yet com- pleted. The greatest trouble is that the public and the student body’ itself are not educated equally as to what is the law| of amateurism or as to its necessity. The | matter Is to be reported on again. The| Amateur Athletic Rescarch society is mak- | ing a speclal study of this problem and it is hoped that some satisfactory solution wiil be evolved by next December. any should desire to do so. Hackenschmidt is the wrestler, it will be remembered, who was handled so roughly by Frank Gotch, the world's champlon, when the two met in & title bout two years ago. | One of the men who if workiug to get| Hackenschmidt to come to this country again is W.

[their way through college shouid be | who needs to make money and can do it { approbation, A great deal of interest is manifested in the efforts of Dartmouth to settle this| question for itself. The authorities there ! are endeavoring to educate the student | body to the opinion that it is not falr for the professional to compete against the nonsprofessionals; that the young man who goes off and spends his summer months in playing professional base ball should not afterward return to college and compete in Intercollegiate contests, because it makes the game unfair to the other side. 1t, however, believes that the young men who need to make money fo pay lowed to do 80 on base ball fields if thy can, and yet not be deprived of .the priv- ilege of piaying during college season. To accomplish these ends this institution has elected the scheme of forming. teams of players eligible for intercollegiate contests. Such teams have every opportunity to play in intramural games, but are not allowed to take part in intercollegiate contests. This is the scheme being tried at Dart- mouth’ and it serves to have many good features. It is a practicable way of set- tling this vexed question of giving the boy on professional base ball nines an oppor- tunity for this and yet not deprive him of the privilege of playing during the a demic season. On the other hand, it will move the temptation to falsify, and it will do away with the unfairness that comes | from making the average college man in the Intercollegiate contests against any protessional. Something should be done to correct the evils resuiting from the' tempt tion to conceal professionalism on the part of our college base ball players.

There is nothing that equals 8. 8. for Contagious Blood Poison and I always recommend it in such cases, WALTER WEB No. 430 Fourth St., Evansville, Ind, The acknowledged virtue of S.S.S. as a blood remedy induced Mr. Weber to commence its use when he found he had contracted Contagious Blood Poison. The good results he obtained is just another demonstration of its value as a cure for this disease. Contagious Blood Poison is the most powerful and destructive of all blood disorders. Its virus permeates the entire circulation and this explains why any one afflicted with this malady usually finds its symp- toms manifested in every portion of the body.” From head to foot the insidious poison breaks forth. The hair and eyebrows come out, the mouth and throat ulcerate, skin eruptions and sores and ulcers break out on the body, the bones ache, glands in the groin swell, ahd frequently the nails on hands and feet are affected. The only possible way to cure Contagious Blood Poison is to cau Th just what S. S. S, does; and it is the only medicine that absolutely and thoroughly cleanses the circulation of every particle of the germs and virus of the « Mercury, Potash, etc., are often used by despairing sufferers in the hope that such strong treatment will kill the poison. But this cannot be done; the disease may be checked temporarily and the symptoms improved, but the old poison is slumbering in the biood, and when the treatment is left off the disease always returns. T!lc ability of S.8.8. to cure Contagious Blood Poison comes from its blood purifying properties. It goes into the circulation and i d pure and healthy, and leaves no dregs of the virus to break out later on. S.S.S. is made entirely of roots, herbs and barks, each of which has a direct and / specific effect in purifying s e s @ s LJ the blood. - S.S. S. does not PURELY VEGETABLE contain a particle of mineral b in any form to upset the stomach, affect the bowels, or inflame any of the delicate membranes of the body. Itis Nature’s blood purifier, potent and healthful, and so valuable are its_tonic effects that when S.S.S, has rid the circulation of the Conta- stem is left in fine physical condition. ontagious Blood Poison suffererto get ecial book for Home We will mail this book with any special medical advice THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA. gious Blood Poison the entire We want to help every Teeatment. free.
