IS READY 10 FIGHT 11! Champion Wires Paper That He Wants to Settle Packey Grudge. DEMANDS $23,000 PURSE Literary Dane From Hegewisch Declares He Will Battle All Comers. Battling Nelson is ready to defend his championship. Furthermore, the fighting Dane from Hegewisch has reached the point where he is not' only willing but anxious to meet Packey McFarland, who has been hounding him for over a year for a battle, and endeavor to impress upon the Idol of the stock yards that he Is still of the Dane of great durability and the real cock of the walk in the 133 pound division of flstlana. ' Hegewlsch's first citizen evidently has finished his- literary toils, has wiped the Ink stains from his fingers, discarded his theatrical makeup and is ready once more to swap punches in The ring. The Dane, who for months has refused even to discuss "seriously a fight with McFarland or any other lightweight, has Invited battle with Packey, but of course has named his conditions, as is the right of a champion. The lightweight champion always has prided himself that his word was as good as his bond, and, this being true, there can be no doubt as to his eagerness to wage battle with McFar land or any other lightweight. He be lieves himself the master of them all, and Jiis Intention to je-enter the ring is shown plainly in the following tele gram: Dallas, Texas, Feb. 14. Latest yarn that I am matched to fight Welsh at New Orleans is a fabrication of the worst sort. I would rather beat Mc Farland than Welsh, because I have a grudge to settle with Packey on account of that "infancy" affair, as I guaranteed McFarland to the clipping bureau as well as Introduced and O K.'d him Before I dlscuBS a match with McFarland he must pay that bill I have been credited with asking a $12,000 purse for a go with Packey There must be a $23,000 prize. I leave today for Obear. N. M., en route to San Francisco. BATTLING NELSON, Lightweight Champion of the World. CHICAGO FIVE HAS MORTGAGE Oil .TITLE Maroons Have Won All Six Games and Lead Con"ference TeamsThe University of Chicago basket ball team has practically mortgaged the conference title, the Maroon five having gone through its six games without a defeat.

The Maroon five plays Indiana a Bloomington Friday night and then goes to Lafayette to meet Purdue, j Friday night the Maroon swimmers will meet the Illnols tank squad at Bartlett gymnasium. The vote on the question of allowing seven football games next fall has not been ordered by President Moran o the conference, who, it is said, claims the seven-game rule is yet in force The Maroon idea was that the limit went back to five for the coming sea son, but the conference officials believe that a careful reading of the rule will show that seven games in 1909 are permissible. AUTO RETREAT SOUNDS Exhibitors Who Appeared a Show Scatter to All Parts of Country. Retreat was sounded yesterday by the array of exhibitors who held the fort last week In the eighth annual automobile show at the Coliseum an First Regiment armory, and the moto car specialists, tire experts and motor cycle demonstrators who contributed to the buiest week the industry has eve experienced are now scattering for all points of the country.

Over 12,000,000 worth of autmobiles, motorcycles and appliances were whisked out of the Immense show building in almost as short a time as It takes to tell about It. The spectacle was like that of a monster circus loading itself into wagons and freight cars after the night performance and hieing away to the next town in time to

DRISCOLL PICKED TO WIN BOUT Critics Believe Briton Too Clever for Attell. New Tork, Feb. 15. That Jem Dris coll of England will out-Attell Abe Attell, or, in other words, mystify the feather-weight .champion at his own game clever boxing when the pair meets before the National A. C. next Friday night is the general belief of local pugilistic authorities. Clever as Attell Is, the general impression Is that the Briton has considerable on Abe in the line of fancy boxing, Dris coil's victories over Baldwin, Hayes and Cross have been so decisive that he probably will go into the ring against the admitted king of the feather weights a slight favorite. MILLIONS OF LIVES LOST The Awful Toll Collected by Consumption. If people could only understand that Catarrh is an internal scrofula that nothing applied externally does much good they would not need to be warn ed so often about this fatal disease which, when neglected, invariably ends up in consumption, at the cost of mil Hows of lives every year. Tet Catarrh is easily cured if the right treatment Is employed. Catarrh Is caused by germs In the blood which circulate throughout the entire system. External remedies give but temporary ease. Although the effects are often seen In the form of pimples, rash, eczema or dry scaly skin, the trouble is internal, and can never be cured by external remedies. The only way to cure Catarrh Is by employing a medicine which is absorbed and carried by the blood to all parts of the system, so that the mucous membrane or internal lining of the body is thoroughly medicated, soothed, disinfects dof germ matter, and the soreness healed. We have a remedy prepared -from the prescription of a physician who for thirty years studied and made Catarrh a specialty and whose record of success was a cure in every case where his treatment was followed as prescribed. That remedy is Rexall Mucu-Tone. We are so positive that it will cure Catarrh in all its various forms, whether acute or chronic, that we promise to return every penny paid us for the medicine in every case where It fails to cure or for any reason does not satisfy the user. We want you to try Rexall Mucu Tone on our recommendation and guarantee. We are right here where yo ullve, and you do not contract any obligation or risk when you try Rexall MucuTone on our guarantee. We have Rexall Mucu-Tone in two sizes. The prices are 50c. and $1. Very often the 50c size effects a cure. Of course, in chronic cases a longer treatment is necessary. The average in such Instances Is three $1.00 bottles. Kaufman & Wolf, Hammond, Ind,

ROYS 11, GIRLS LOSE Ifj BASKETBALL GAME East Chicago High School ' Five Defeats Harvey Team. DEFEAT AT MICHIGAN CITY Young Ladies' Score Is 6 to 4 Cur tain Raiser Is a Snow Under ' for Amateurs.

The Michigan City game was refereed by Melvin Hascall of this city. Small Crovrd Torni Out. The games at East Chicago were attended by a very small crowd, the inclemency of the weather preventing many from attending the games. The Harvey game was especially fast, as Harvey is acknowledged to have one of the strongest teams In Illinois. Cadman played the scoring game for East Chicago, scoring six goals, while Riley and Spence each played their usual game. The Harvey game was preceded by a curtain raiser in which the E. C. H. S. second team were defeated by a terrible score by the Hammond Baptist's third team. John Dreesen played a sensational game for the East Chicago team, while Howard Caruso Clark, at center, found something holding him to the floor at the very time that he was supposed to jump. The score against the East Chicago boys was so great that it was lost track of and the time was spent merely In watching the Hammond players pass the ball skillfully to one end of the hall, plunge for a basket and score an additional two points.
