-. Luther McCarty has practically sign
ed up for four fights within Ave weeks. .' The white heavyweight champion of the world will be kept as busy from now ori as it will be possible for him to be, and he intends to take all of the offers made to him that are reasonably fair In a financial way. From present indications McCarty's bank roll will be increased by a matter of $24,000. if all of these fights go' through per present schedule. Here 1 are the engagements that his manager, : Billy McCarney, has either closed or will close within the next few days: . April 16 Six rounds in Philadelphia
with Jim Flynn. April 23 Six rounds in Pittsburg
with Frank Moran. May 4 Ten rounds in Kansas City with Carl Morris or some one else. May 15 fabout) Ten or more rounds in Calgary," Alta., with Tommy Burns. The first three matches are regarded by McCarney as absolutely clinched at "the present time. He is still negotiating by letter and wire with the pro- : moters In Calgary relative to the Burns match, and last night it looked very much as if the two sides would come ; to terms. The Flynn and Moran matches will net the McCarty party $5,000 each, the . Kansas City match will bring him in J4.000. and he will receive for himself, Srespective of the result with Burns, a . guarantee of $10,000. making a total

Sheppard, who was recently hurt In i railroad wreck while en route from De
troit, where he had attended a track
: meet, is reported to be regaining his health at Wildwood. N. J., where he went on arriving In New York. Sheppard was considerably shaken up in this wreck and was forced to go : to the country to" recuperate .from his injuries and the reaction following. . His numerous friends throughout the country are wondering if the peerless j one will ever' be seen in action again. ; While Sheppard's injuries were not ' dangerous in any way, yet they were severe enough to keep him out of athI letlc competltlo "nfor some time. In all probability he will not be seen in a . running suit until the middle of the ! summer.
MICHIGAN MAY RETURN TO BIG 8 Ann Arbor, ' Mich.. . ' March -22. .Whether or. not Michigan will decide
j to go back in the conference and ;play
in western athletics with western athletes will, in all probability, be decided
today, when a meeting of the board of .control of athletics is - scheduled. A straw vote, taken bv the stuirnt hnilr
i
r agreement for the Moran match. , Then
, he will proceed to Philadelphia and try ..to close up the Flynn affair. . From there McCarney will go to Boston, where next week McCarty is showv Ing in the Howard Athenaeum. Mc-
Their contention Is that the big games axe ever played at home, or rather that there Is not more than one good game
of the year on the home schedule. It
S Is uncertain Just what the board will
decide.

They Refuse to Retrieve Lost Ones. London, March 22. According to a recent experience golf seems to have dealt the deathblow to the women's special quality of carefulness In details. The golf ball, even the half-crown golf ball. Is left where It lies with as much llghtheartedness as a man is said to abandon an umbrella or a righthand glove. One golf player alleges that he dated the change in his fortunes
from the day he played a round
after a ladies' competition. The link! were fairly . peppered with
new balls, some peppered from afar. Women really lose more balls
than men. Where men will count lfke misers the number of rounds
played with a particular ball, worn
n resrard this unconsidered trifle
as a thing not worth an extra mln
ute's search or any careful atten
tion. If It grows dull-colored, they
give it to the dog for a plaything.

RHEUMATISM AND ,
ITS TREATMENT
For the last, several days we have
had much to say about the cause and complications of rheumatism. But If
you are afflicted you are more Interested In the treatment and a cure. Of
course the treatment depends upon the !
cause, that first must be removed, then the antl-dote may be more intelligently employed. For years, medi
cine In the stomach, was the only
treatment employed and today It Is
perhaps the standard. But there are many stomachs that rebel or. at least wilt not digest such strong medicines. In these cases, my intra-venous medication of ten acts like a charm. Here
the medicine, delicately prepared, is
put directly into the blood stream, does not go through the stomach and the uncertain process if digestion, hence nothing is lo6t. The method is
practically painless and is used In con
nection with the radiant light and other electrical and manual "treatments. We- cannot discuss here the
theory of electrical treatments, but we can refer you to many well pleased
patients, Whom we have treated during the last two years. -
We use electricity, not only in our
treatment of rheumatism, but in stom
ach, and bowel troubles and nervous
complaints. Also in diseases of wom
en and diseases of men. In skin dis
eases it is indispensable. It afflicted,
we inite you to call for free consulta
tion. Open evenings. DR. LEEDY (Over Lion Store) HAMMOND, INDIANA
