March 31—Detectives were .at Bennings. track today for.the purpose of getting evidence upon which a test case is to'be based to settle the ques- tion as to whether or not betting on hoi races can be prohibited under the-prei laws of the District of Columbia. Upon the evidence gathered, which is | to be submitted to District Attorney Ba- | ker, may depend the fate of the bill now | pending in the Senate. | duced by Senator.Dillingham and -seeks This was intro- to amend the code by a provision spe- cifically prohibiting betting on races, as well as other.forms of gambling. It gives the courts distinct power in the case of a violation of the proposed law of prohibit- ing by injunction any future race meeting within the District.

FOOTRALL RULES HE ANERDED Intercollegiate Committee Finally Adopts the New| Conditions of the Game NEW YORK, March 31.—Th¢ Ameriéan intercollegiate football rules Eommittee, a “consolidation of the old football rules | committee and the representatives.of col- | leges who attended the recent conference on football reform held in this city, finally adopted today the new playing rules for 1908. One of the principal changes doubles the distance to be gained in three downs, | ten yards now being required of thé team | on the pffensive instead of.five as here- | tofore. Forward passes are to be allowed and whenever a forward pass crosses.the goal line it shall count as a touchback. Reforms In methods. of tackling, holding | and interference have been provided and | the penalties for fouls have been severely | stiffened. Six men .only are to be on the line of scrimmage. A central board of control is to pass upon the competency of all officials. More power is given the officials. It is provided there shall be a referee, two umpires and a lineman in all games of importance.. The committee has endeavored to cover all points of the game over which complaints have arisen. During the next two. weeks Walter Camp, editor, and Willlam T. Reld Jr. of Harvard, secretary, will codify and arrange the new code. A meeting of the committee will be held Saturday, April 14, at which this codification will be pre- sented. The committee will-then make such alterations as are necessary, (I) in wording, clarification, but not in sense; (2) to remove inconsistencies, and (3) such other changes as may meet with unani- mous approval of those in attendance. The present code' as passed was an- nounced in toto. | There were a number of minor points settled today. The quebtion of retaining the punt-out after a:touchdown for a try at goal was decided favorably. Had ' it been'acted on adversely the goal posts would have been widened. The question of ‘allowing the punter out to make a fake Kick to draw his opponents offside before actually kicking was-settled affirm- atively. Other similar questions were de- cided. On the new rule requiring men to | be on the'line of scrimmage this addition was made: ¢ “When a man is supposed ‘to' be on the line of scrimmage he shall' be ‘on the line of scrimmagé in a bona fide ‘way.” The way will be specifically ‘presecribed. In the new ‘rule defining holding a definition is to be prepared for the words “the arms close to*the body” indicating permissible blocking. ——————— . Baseball Player Disappears. VALLEJO, March 31.—Friends of Billy Hulen, the well-known baseball player, and ‘his parents, who reside at Dixon, are still in a quandary over his sudden disap- pearance. ' He was last seen near Ash- land, Or., where he has been with his wife for meveral years past. This was several weeks ago and nothing else has been heard of him, excepting that his | trunk has been traced to Denver. Hulen never claimed the luggage and it is still awaiting its owner in the Colorado city. His aged mother, to whom Hulen has | written with regularity for years, has not heard of him for weeks and is pros- trated. It is feared she will not long sur- vive ‘the terrible suspense.' The Kiks, to which order Hulen beionged, have ex- hausted every endeavor at its command to find out what has become of him, and it is now given out that he must have been murdered. g e Aottt Seek a Match for Herberts. VALLEJO, March 31.—The Palm Ath- Jetic Club of this city is looking for a good welterweight to meet George Her- ! berts of Crackett for the club's card for the Iutter part of April.’” Herberts will not go out of his class, which 1s 1421 pounds at 6 o'clock, but is open to meet any man of reputation at that weight. | circus, | coast without a struggle they would bet- }a miniature of Kid McCoy from the | will"aid Tommy Sullivan and the other Randolph occupied the box during the | first five innings and@ held Fresnoidown to two runs.

The gymnasium of the Olympic Club is as full of life and action these days’ as the three rings in Balley & Barnum's Quiet youths from the far East with aggressive looking shoulders and bulging muscles are gathering theré Lo prepare for the American boxing cham- | plonships which will be declded next week in Mechanies' Pavilion. If any, Californian -boxers think they will_retain the ‘champfonships on this ter awake from’ their day dreams. There | ara some of the neatest boxers and hard- est hitters among the Eastern contingent seen here In many days. It is a foregone conclusion they will be popular with the spectators. By a curious coincidence three of the boys have their protoypes in the protes- sional ring. Robert Gresham of 'St Louis could be palmed off on almost any- | body as Terry McGovern. Oliver Kirk is top of his dark curly head down to his feet. He is built on the most gracetul of lines and has a clever style. He is a 115-pound man and won that. class at St. | Louis, beating Firnigan, who went out | of his class to meet him. Kirk then went, out of hfs class and won the 12-pound championship. Hugh McKinmmon of Boston will be a star in the 145-pound class. He is built on the lines of Tom Sharkey, and is at once a comedian and an acrobat. He was bubbling over with animal spirits in the Olympic - Club gymnasium yesterday, turning flipflaps and twisters when he was. not boxing or wrestling. Maurice Schneider, who comes from the far-famed Kerry Patch district in St Louls, is expected to make a hit with the spectators. He has won eleven fights in the past six months, and can hit like a steamhammer. - He is an' aggressive little boxer of the bulldog type, and keeps an opponent. guessing. : Joe Lydon, also from St. Louls, will make the lightweights step lively. He Is a tremendous hitter, and his hands show the effect of his work. This is his only weak point. He is an all-around athlete. being ‘a fast sprinter and a weightputter. Roger Cornell, the Olympic Club traiier, handlers of the -HEastern men in getting them ready for their engagements. The boxers all arrived heére in excellent condi~ tion and need only to be kept on edge. Cornell has already laid out the following schedule for his charges: Arise at7a. m., breakfast at 7:30, road work in the park at 10, luncheon at 12-and gymnasium work at 2 o'clock. This morning the Eastern- boys will leave the clubhouse at 8:30,. go- ing to the Cliff House by electric car. They will spend a short time on the beach and will then walk in through the park to the clubhouse. In the afternoon they will visit the training camp of the Olym- pic boys at Larkspur. The bouts for the champlonships will be three rounds of three minutes’ dura: tion, with the usual one-minute interval for rest. The referee has the power to order an extra round if necessary. This is not done unless the judges disagree. The final bout which decides the cham- pionship in each class will consist of two three-minute rounds and one of four minutes. x The following are thé records of the boxers who came all the way from Bos- ton to compete in the tourmament: Coleman F. McGowan, 12 pounds, won from the following boys this season in bouts held at the Boston Athletic Asso- ciation: James Jones, three rounds; Al Murray three rounds; Joseph Sweeney, three rounds; Eddle = Daniels, three rounds; Frank Ah Chung, three rounds; Thomas Rawson, four rounds; Charles Raedel, four rounds.

EDITED BY R.A. SMYTH | NURRAY PROVES CLEVER PLAYER Young Tennis Expert Wins Handicap Tournament on Golden Gate Park Courts MARCUS RUNS SECOND Sl New Three-Time Trophy Is Competed For by the Enthusiastic Youngsters The handicap singles tennis tourngment commenced on the Golden Gate Park courts by the juveniies two weeks ago was completed yesterday. W. Murray carried off the honors, beating W. Marcus in the finals. Murray , played good tennis throughout the tournament and.his vie- tory was a well-earned one. He played from 3-6 above scratch and made good use of his handicap. By virtue of his vic- tory Murray will have his name inscribed on the new three-time trophy, which he will hold until the next handicap singles event. The final match between Murray -and Marcus was an interesting one. The first set was by far the closest of the three. Murray took thé set after twelve games had been played. The second set Marcus won easily, but he fell down in the-third set, which, his opponent won with little trouble. Murray received odds of 3-8'and they proved about right. A majority of the matches played were won in straight sets. In future evénts the handicaps will be better arranged.and the matches should prove closer. On the opening day’s play thére was an unusual number of close matches. The handicaps | were exceedingly large and the piayers | placed below scratch did not get far. John Strachan, playing from. scratch, reached the third round, but fall down when he met Marcus. They met on even terms and Strachan was beaten badly. One of the closest matches of the day was that between D. Easton and L. Ros- enshine. The latter received a handicap | of 3-6, but.could win but one set out of three from his clever opponent. Easton | had another hard match with B. Brough. | The former’s odds enabled him to win in | straight sets, both of which were close. | The score: First round—D. Easton (3-6) beat L. Ros~ 6-3. Second round—Easton (3-6) beat B. | Brough (scratch), 7-5, 6-4: B. Batkin (scratch) beat J. Wallace (30), 6-1, 6-0; J. Strachan (scratch) beat T. Willlams (15), | 81, 60; W. Marcus (scratch) beat R.

OF ALL GREATEST TONICS Everyone should take a tonic in the Spring; their systems require it. The blood has become thick and sluggish with the accumulations left in the system from breathing the impure air of closed rooms and overheated buildings; the heavy, rich foods of the Winter season, etc., and when this vital fluid is aroused and stirred to quicker action by the return of warmer weather, these waste matters and poisons are distributed through the circulation, to act depressingly and injuriously on the system. The blood being in this unnatural and impure condition is unable to furnish the body with the proper amount of nourishment atd strength, and the system suffers from debility, weakness, nervousness, indigestion, loss of appetite, and many other unpleasant symptoms of a disordered blood circulation. The depleted system must have assistance; it needs a tonic and it is important that the proper one be selected. When the health is m this disordered condition it is not safe to take unknown concoctions, sarsaparillas, ete., because they usually contain potash or other strong mineral ingredients which act unfavorably and often dangerously on the rita-down, weakened system, at a time when it needs gentle and natural stimulation to “throw off the impurities and recuperate its great deal is being said these days about living close to nature, and it is. more apolicable to medicines, perhaps, than anything else.
