PUGS AWAIT GONG TO AMUSE LOVERS OF FIGHTING GAME Benson Offers Fast Opponents in Bouts With Carpenter, Jeffries and Tommy Dillon at Coliseum. TONIGHT'S CARD. Time 8:00 o'clock. Place Coliseum. What Billy Bensons Boxing Card. Preliminary. Arthur Stegall vs. Ame Carpenter, 6 rounds. Semi-Finals. Cheater Meyers vs. Ray Jeffries, 10 rounds. Finals. Tommy Dillon-Victor Wrightf 10 rounds. Good bouts are promised the local fight fans tonight at the Coliseum when Billy Benson sicks his pugs on one another. All arrangements have been completed. Transportation was sent to the contestants Monday morning. Promoter Benson has invited women to attend the boxing cards, as there are several in the city who are interested in the boxing game. Every consideration will be shown every woman attending the 6how tonight, Benson promised." Quite a crowd of Victor Wright's followers will accompany their favorite from Mlddletown. Ohio, where he has charge of a large gymnasium j class. Nothing but a victory over Tommy Dillon will satisfy them. Dillon will also be accompanied by several fans from his home town, Indianapolis. There may be several challenges issued from the ring by Indianapolis pugs. Tommy it is said is coming in grand condition and while he expects to carry home the laurels knows that he is up against a good boy. Jeff Meets Meyers. The semi-finals between Ray Jeffries and Chester Meyers will be well worth the price of admission alone if they put up half as good a fight as they did their first meeting. Meyers is coming in the "pink" and Jeff is working his bead off preparing for him. Genial 8am Vigran, who gave universal satisfaction' as referee of the last card will again referee. Sam says: "The card as a whole is the best that has been offered and should be liberally supported by the boxing enthusiasts." BAND "TUNES UP" FOR WINCHESTER GO High School Puts Faith in Brown, Star Forward to Count Often. Great preparations are being made at the high school for the game with Winchester high at the Coliseum Friday night. The student band will be out with some of their harmonious tunes, and expect the boys to keep the spirit of harmony and walk away with the game in asy style. One noticeable weakness of the high snuad is the tendency shown by the guards to leave their men unguarded I to go up the floor to do forward duty, grandstanding it a little. This fault will have to be remedied if the local team expects to get away with its games this winter. Brown, the speedy forward, is improving right along, and is expected to make the Winchester boys step lively to keep him from running the score up. GREENHORNS WHIP LEAGUE'S LEADERS

FIGHT GUARANTEES CUT DOWN PROFITS OF ALL PROMOTERS Greedy Pugs Want Entire Receipts With Exception of Enough to Buy Chewing Gum Says Menke. BY FRANK G. MENKE. NEW YORK, Nov. 17. The fight promoters ought to get together and form a little trust for the purpose of twarting the fighters in their efforts to get about 99.44 per cent of all the money that is taken in at the box office. Promoting prize fight in this thriving metropolis and in other cities is just as profitable as raising chickens in one's back yard, since the fighters started demanding guarantees and huge percentages. In the olden days the promoters pulled down a fairly sizeable wad for their
trouble in staging a bout. But times j have changed. The greedy fighters j want about all the money that is taken 1 in at the box office. After the fight ers get their guarantee it leaves the promoters just about enough to go out and buy themselves a couple of packages of chewing gum. In some instances the promoters suffer a financial loss. This condition will continue just bo long as the promoters permit the fighters to dictate their own terms. The longer this condition exists the worse it will be for the fight game, for with the fighters continually increasing their demands it means that the promoters must boost the admis- , sion price to meet the increasing guari antees for fighters, This will hurt the : attendance. There is just one way for the promoters to beat the money-mad fighters, and that is for the promoters to get together and agree to fix a certain scale for fighters, and stick to that scale. The promoters to enable themselves to "get out from under" in all boxing bouts without suffering a loss should force the, fighters to flight for a certain percentage of the gross receipts. The business -of guaranteeing the fighters a fixed sum isn't fair to the promotor. It is a gamble with him. He may clear something on the bout, but if the weather is bad or something else turn& ttjjr.to increase the attendance, he not only doesu't get a dollar for his labor,, but he loses money on the venture. However, the fighter will continue to get the bulk of the gate receipts as long as the different fight promoters continue to compete with each other and try to outbid each other to get star bouts. Fighters will play both ends against the middle in trying to shake down the promoters for the largest sum possible, and the best the promoters will get is the worst of it. KEATING LOSES WAD BY LEASED WIRE. KENOSHA, Wis., Nov. 17 John Keating, "the man who put Kenosha cn the boxing map," was held up and robbed in his hotel apartments yesterday afternoon and money and jewelry worth $2,000 in regular movie thrills style.

POLO PLAYERS GET TEAMJVORK GOING Play Shows Improvement Since Beginning of Practice Sessions.
Improvement was plainly shown in the work of the City league polo players last night when they staged their practice at the Coliseum. Although not much team work was in evidence, the players were striving to perfect this necessary part of the game. Once in a while some nice teaming was noticeable. The rushers, for the most part, seem to have become accustomed to their skates, but the poor "flop" artists had i an awful time getting started. This j will all work off, however, by the I time the season starts. A short game ! between the Seeders and the Smoke ! House team was played. Lou Quigley was the only one to smack one into the netting, getting the pill in a , mix-up in front of Badel's cage. The Quigley's and Greeks held a beneficial practice after this game, and will be ready when the gong starts the league rolling. i TEAMBOiSllllOONS Independents to Close Season Nov. 29. The Independent football team today booked the last game of the season with the West Alexandria Ma roons, the game to be played there on Nov. 29. The Maroons played the , Wolverines of Dayton a 0 to 0 game Sunday. The Wolverines are an exceedingly fast team and the Maroons to hold them to a tie must have a ' pretty good team. The local bunch, nowever, is improving witn every practice and it would not be surprising to see thein out after the championship of the state next year. LEWIS SCORES BACKS Coach Lewis has promised to be out tonight when the Independents stage their practice at the South Tenth Street park. Lewis will lay special stress on the mistakes made by the halves Sunday when they permitted Union City to get away with two forward passes that spelled defeat for the locals. The line as a whole more than took care of its end of the game and although it is likely that the same men will play the next game, they will be shifted to different positions. All are requested to report promptly at 7 o'clock tonight. ON THE FIRING LINE What it means to most men. There are many true heroes that have perished in the European war who "never smelled powder," but who succumbed to sickness after hard campaigning coupled with bad water and lack of food. The sick and debilitated man is as much out of place in his struggle for life and existence as he would be on the firing line. On the other hand the strong, vigorous man, his veins filled with rich, red blood, has an enormous advantage in whatever position he may be fated to occupy, in war or business. The prompt and certain action of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery in driving all harmful germs and impurities from the blood, sets in motion the repair process which works actively on the diseased membrane where Catarrh flourishes unchecked or where the skin gives warning of the bad blood beneath by showing pimples and boils, also the skin clears up and becomes wholesome and ruddy. Thus by building up a new and perfect covering and carrying out of the system the Catarrh infested matter by way of the blood, liver and kidneys. Catarrh is overcome and permanently conquered. There is not a drop of alcohol or any narcotic in Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, but in this safe vegetable remedy there is a mighty alterative power which by replacing the blood impurities with pure, rich blood, not only ends Catarrhal conditions wherever located, but vitalizes the kidneys, stomach, liver, bowels and every organ of the body. People who suffer humiliation and mental misery because of Pimples, Skin rash. Blotches, Eruptions, Boils, Carbuncles, are especially benefitted. It is not a secret remedy for its ingredients are printed on wrapper. Send tor free book on the blood to Dr. Pierce, Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y. adv.
