WANTS CRACK AT
CAPONI-COAKLY
WUMER
Tony Caponi. the Italian middleweight bearcat, and Glen Coakley, are to engage In a ten-round whirl at Ft. Wayne, Ind., tonight.. For the first time in four years Caponi is meeting a
man of hla own size. The weight is 158 pounds at 3 o'clock and Tony has reached the notch without trouble. Coakley Is a product of Fort Wayne and tias won several tough battles in an Impressive manner. lie has boxed such men as Jack Dillon, Jack Herrick and Jeff Clark without getting a licking. Fort Wayne is wild about Coakley. The fans there thirtk he is another Kid McCoy. Coakley Is a tall, rangy scrapper. He has an excellent left hand that he uses for jabbing purposes and carries a knockout wallop in his right glove. Jimmy Clabby, the Hammond crack, has wired George Beimer of the Summit A. C. in Fort Wayne that he will meet the winner of tonight's combat. Jack Concilia, the Winnipeg promoter, and a party of friends are coming from the Canadian city to see Capon! box.
Caponi left last nijiht for Fort
Wayne. This fight will tell whether or
not Tony is to be reckoned with among the topnotch middleweights, A decis
ive win over Coakley will boost the Italian's stock considerably. Not in many years has Caponi shown such excelent form as he has dtsplayed In his last five battles. His win over L?ill Perkins, who had a string- of twenty-one straight victories, was his most meritorious performance of late. His knockout of Bill Pettus at Dallas was another good trick he turned. Fort Wayne dispatches any a big ! crowd will see the setto. Kddie Santry
of Chicago will referee.

SIR THOMAS AWAITS REPLY London, March 2ti. Sir Thomas Lipton was keenly disappointed today to hear that the New York Yacht club had declined to reconsider his challenge for the America's cup. He said: "I have hot received any news of the declination of my challenge by the New York Yacht club except through press reports. I am hoping that the repjy of the New York yachtsmen will leave the way open to an unconditional
challenge by an intimation that the defending yacht will not surpass in size
the ttiallenger.
"Should a little bird from New York
even whisper this to me, I would chal

Crown Point Ind., March 26. "The
report in a certain Gary paper that I
am favorable to a man from Gary was
not authorized by me . I have not said or even intimated that I am in favor of anybody for the vacancy caused by the death of Richard Schaaf.
The matter may not be put up to me.
It won't if Mat Brown and Levi Hutton can come to a decision in the matter. "So far as I can learn the matter will not be taken up until the April session of the board of county commissioners. It is unfair to me for any paper to say that I am favorable to one candidate or another. No one will know how I feel about the matter un
less my vote is necessary to a choice.
AUDITOR CHARLES JOHNSON. There la still a great deal of tsres and strain, over the matter of the ap pointment to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Richard Schaaf. As a result there have been many stories going the rounds which have a basis in fact. It is understood that the saloonkeepers of the region would like some one appointed who will at least not be hostile to their interests. Then the stone and slag people may hint for the appointment of some one who will be friendly to them. In Gary the entire situation has changed. John Kirk, whose candidacy was promoted vigorously by his friends, has Indicated that he will not make the race. The Knotts forced then advanced the candidacy of J. J. Kelly, the popular real estate agent and former assistant to II. S. Norton In the Gary Land Co. The republican organization . there, however, is back of the candidacy of Herbert C. Francis, the former city chairman, and he is being urged for the vacancy. In Indiana Harbor City Chairman Thomas O'Connell is making a strong race for the office. His candidacy Is

Advertising Story No. 7. FLOATING KIDNEY. A floating kidney gives rise to pains that are usually very confusing to the patient and not uncommonly to the doctors. If it is the right kidney that is displaced, not uncommonly it is
thought to be gall-bladder trouble or even appendicitis. If it is the left kidney, as sometimes in the right, the
pain, is often thought to be in the bowel or even in the stomach. By
their reflex action, the pains often give
rise to much disturbance ofthe diges
tion and are thus often greatly misun derstood. v .
These cases should not be neglected, as each day makes a permanent cure
that much more difficult.
