SPORTING

CHILL A ! n BILES CUBS Champs and Pirates Rest After Agreeing to Play Double-Header May 2. Congealed breezes, fresh from the Medicine Hat cooling-rooms, whistled down upon Chicago yesterday, temporarily flagging the vigorous pastime scheduled between Chance's world's champions and those sportive Pirates. To have attempted any type of baseball in those piercing blasts would have crippled a number of high salaried athletes, according to the respective managers, and at 2:30 in the afternoon it was agreed to call off bets until May 2, when a double-header will feature the "West Side entertainment. "While actual playing was out of the question, both teams were kept on the jump throughout the afternoon in the hardest kind of practice. The Cubs, keyed up to the highest notch in fielding, devoted the major part of their Time 10 Daiung tne department in which they appear slightly deficient. Chance ordered his entire twirling staff to work, and for two hours the playground echoed and re-echoed with the blithesome bombardment which all but exhausted the gardeners. SAYS JEFFRIES WON'T FIGHT Johnson Makes This State ment at Pittsburg. Pittsburg, April 20. Pausing long enough from his task of shaking hands with 99 per cent of the negro population of Pittsburg yesterday. Jack Johnson, champion heavyweight scrapper. found time to deliver himself of the following oration: "Jim Jeffries will never fight me. He Is afraid of me. He knows I can whip him. He doesn't want to get into condition, for if he did. he would have to fight me." Then, after wisely shaking his head, Johnson remarked: "No, sir, you can gamble on that, Jeff will never fight me. He would not recognize my existence when he was champion, and I would like nothing better now than to show him what I could do to him." "I see one of the fellows who was hollering for a chance at the title is crawling. I refer to Al Kaufman, who has just discovered that he broke a hand in the Ross fight. I guess Delaney found his big lemon was not of championship caliber. Yes, I am willing to battle any one who looks as though he would draw. Ketchel Is well liked and is a dangerous boy, for he can hit harder than Burns, O'Brien or the others." JEFF MAY BE A ,"PT?nT7T,cjcirm New Tork. April 20. Broadway heard yesterday of plans made by James J. Jeffries to open a physical culture school in this city to teach physical training development and boxing. Offices have been engaged in the Metropolitan Life building, a corps of instructors mustered In and the school will be open for business next Monday. Friends of Jeffries say he conceived the idea of establishing such a school as a result of the thousands of letters he has received from all parts of the world asking him what athletic exercises are necessary to attain strength and good physical development. JOHNSON RETURNS TO CHICAGO SOON Colored Champ Will Come From Pittsburg. Jack Johnson is to burst upon the Chicago scene once more. Instead of taking p.n immediate trip to Europe, as was predicted, the hea-yweight boxer will return to Chicago ApriL 26 and will open a week's engagement at the Haymarket theater.

Michigan met defeat in baseball yesterday for the first time this season, Notre Dame slaughtering the Wolverines, 11 to 2.

Go to Summers pharmacy today and get a box of Mi-o-na Tablets; the great prescription for indigestion and stomach troubles. Take one, or if your suffering is intense, two tablets with or after meals and at the end of 10 days If you can't eat a square meal without distress go to Summers pharmacy and get your money back. That's where the square deal comes in. But Mi-o-na is really a stomach upbuilder of great merit; every day the makers receive more than a dozen letters from grateful people which state that after they had lost all hope Mi-o-na cured. The quick and positive action of Mi-o-na on the stomach in case of gas, waterbrash, sour stomach and heartburn is worth a lot of money to any sufferer. Why not try Mi-o-na at Summers risk? Fifty cents buys a large box. E. D. Howe, Gardner, Mass., says: "I suffered from severe pains in my stomach. I tried different remedies without relief; after using two boxes of Mi-o-na I found myself completely cured." Mi-o-na is sold by leading druggists everywhere. Oh: what a difference In the morning when you take Booth's Laxative rills. Zo cents at Summers pharmacy.
