Read what a Hammond citizen says: Mrs. J. W. Addy, 307 Indiana street, Hammond. Ind., says: "Why will women suffer from kidney trouble when they have such a grand remedy right at hand in Doan's Kidney Pills. It was afflicted with kidney complaint and I gave every remedy I thought would help me a trial, but without being benefited in the least. My back was weak and ached severely. Finally, I heard . about Doan's Kidney Pills and how many cases they have cured, even after doctors had failed. I decided to try them even though I was not sure that my kidneys were" the cause of my trouble. I procured a supply and I commenced to feel better soon after I began using them. Before I ha taken the contents of one box, the benefit I had received was unmistakable. I used In all three boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills and by that time I was cured.

ffVCAREY IS "CHEAP FAKIR", WIRES JEFF Refuses to Enter Controversy Regarding Boilermaker's Telegram. Los Angeles, Cal., Dec. 13. Jim Jeffries, in a telegram sent to his Los Angeles business partner. Jack Klper, hands out a blistering indictment I against Promoter T. J. McCarey. He ! names, and when Jim resorts to this stand it is safe to say that the big fellow is thoroughly aroused. The Jeffries telegram, which was received here at noon yesterday, reads as follows: "Rochester, N. Y., Dec. 12. "Jack Kipper, Los Angeles: "I understand that McCarey' says there is nothing crooked about the match! He is simply sore because" Rickard outbid him. I never knew anybody who could holler longer and louder than a cheap faker when he has lost. Show this message to the newspapers. "JAMES J. JEFFRIES." This is taken to mean that Jeffries is angered at the screened statement made by McCarey upon his arrival home last Friday. McCarey, upon this occasion, gave it as his belief that he had been "counted out" by the rival promoters, said in so many words that no matter how big he might have made his bid that the opposition would .have found a way to beat him out. The Rochester telegram was read to McCarey over the telephone. A moment of silence followed before he answered in a firm voice: . "I shall refuse to enter into any controversy in this matter. I lost the fight and that settles it. So far as I am concerned my future interest in the Jeffries-Johnson battle will be only that of a spectator. Jeffries will hurt only himself and his own interests by calling me names. It is unlike Jim to do this sort of thing, and I am sorry that he has made this mistake for mistake it is. This telegram will act in boomsrang fashion. "The whole sporting world knew in cdvance how scant my chances were of securing the fight. The New York critics were saying two days before the bids were opened that my trip from California to that city was but a waste of time and money. I merely went through with it to show that I was sincere and game. Every move I made spoke for itself. Nothing that I could say now would help the prospects of the big battle.' BANTAM C H A f. . TRAINS FOB BOOT Much Interest in Proposed Boxing Carnival for Gary Dec. 20. Johnny Coulon. the bantam-weight i champion, is working out daily for his ' ten-round bout with Earl Denning be- j fore the Gary Athletic club at Gary Dec. 20. The little fellow is devoting I most of his time to boxing with a re- ; tinue of trainers at one of the local j athletic clubs. j Coulon was never in better shape ' than at the present time. Although ' the articles call for 115 pounds at the ' ringside, Coulon is way below that fig- j ure and will entor the ring at below 111 pounds. Will Give Away Weight. Johnny Is strong at 110 pounds. In ' the coming match he will give away at least three or four pounds. Denning figuring on entering the ring at about 114 pounds. Denning is training hard for the bout. He realizes that his opportunity to make a strong impression has arrived, and he is doing all in his power to be in perfect shape when he faces the champion. A good fight on Denning's part against Coulon will Insure him many bouts in the east, and he is working to this end. Bouts Limited to Ten Round. Barney Green secretary of the Gary Athletic club. Is working hard to make the show a success. He is negotiating for a number of good men to appear in the preliminary bouts. Nona of the bouts will be more than ten rounds, that being the limit of bouts in Gary. No decision is given in the bouts. Otto Williams is the official referee for the club.

The second team of the Hammond Athletic association basket-ball squad journeyed to Chicago last Saturday night, where they were defeated by the Hull House Midgets by the score of 61 to 9. The game was played in the Hull House g3-mnasium, at the corner of Polk and Halsted streets, and the Hammond boys report that they were given the most gentlemanly treatment by the Chicago boys. The game was arranged thrpugh the Intercity Basket-ball league of Chicago, of which Eddie Mason of this city is vice president. The defeat of the Hammond aggregation was due to the fact that the team which made the trip never had any practice together and was merely a scrub team. The lack of team work on the part of the Hammond boys and the evidence of It in the case of the Hull House Midgets explains the defeat of the local team. BAPTISTS ARE V1GT0RS (Special to The Time?.) Indiana Harbor, Ind., Dec. 13. The Baptist Athletic club's first team, of Hammond, defeated the independent Athletic league of Indiana Harbor at the Coliseum roller skating rink Saturday evening in a well played game of basket-ball, by a score of 27 to 13. Buttner and Parker, guards for the Hammond club, played an excellent game and their good work greatly helped to hold the Harbor five to a low score. Campbell of the Baptist kfive starred at Forward, playing a superior game. George Wall officiated as referee and the decisions given by him were satisfactory to both sides. The Harbor five took their defeat like gentlemen, and a return game is expected in the near future. HAYES FIRST IN RACE Olympic Star Nears Record in Frisco Marathon. San Francisco, Cal., Dec. 13.

The Cornell university faculty, at an executive session Saturday, passed a resolution advocating strong reform in the rules governing football, for the guidance of Professor L. M. Dennis, Cornell's representative on the rules committee.
