EBBETS DEMANDS

7 TORONTO DIG UP FOR W LAJOIE Indianapolis Has Hard Time Getting Manager for the 1918 Club.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. April 10. Charley Ebbets now kicks through with an If to his statement that he is willing for Lajoie to be turned over to the Indianapolis club. He says he Tiiii mnv a torrthlft fieht for the Frenchman unless he gets the $3,000; from Toronto that ho paid McCaffery for Lajoie. It would seem that it would be an easy matter for the National commission to tell Mr. McCaffery to pay the $3,000 he received for Lajoie if the commission had any desire to make the Frenchman a free agent. The latest angle to the whole affair would lead. one to believe that Ebbets i thn nna that is holding ud the de cision of the Supreme court of baseball. It is not to be expected that Ebbets would want to be knocked out of $3,000 in the deal and there Is no reason under heaven why he should be. McCaffery got something for nothing and then tried to convert this something into cold cash. Does it appear that he could be able to gobble up this money in the manner in which he got it? 4U Lajoie didn't cost him a cent other than the salary paid him, because he was a free agent when the Toronto boss signed hira up. Not being satisfied with turning the Frenchman into a gold mine by his winning the pennant for the club, he tried to knock down a few more shekles by pulling the small trick of selling Lajoie to another club ogainst his will.

JAC Jack Dempsey, whose real name,! by the way, is supposed to be Julius Shinsky, has still got us on the fence. Any heavyweight who makes a practice of palming off his own sparring partners on unsuspecting cities, as Dempsey has done in Memphis and other places is to be regarded with suspicion. It may be that Dempsey is the victim ot some shrewd managers who hope to rush their protege into a big-money fight on the strength of his really impressive looking kayo record. Whatever the purpose of the Dempsey crowd we will soon get a real line of the fighter's abilities. Next wees ne is matched to meet Tom Cowler, a slashing manhandler who recently floored Fred Fulton, and on April 26 he meets Billy Miske, a clever boxer and a much better man on the defensive. If Dempsey whips these two men we are ready to accept him as a legitimate contender for the heavyweight crown and we don't mind admitting that we have our doubts. x-r TiVir fiuv Morton of the Cleveland Indians is being criticised for his ungracefulness. Must one be a Pavlowa to play this game of baseball? Here is something you ought to know about Edward G. Barrow, the new boss of the Boston Red Sox. Barrow knows baseball from the mess tent to the front line trenches. He has been in the game twenty-three years. He quit the International this Bering when his salary was reduced to $2,500. What a powerful factor he was in that organization is proven by the fact that the -Set 'Em Up On The Other Alley in the Tuesday games of the Wo men's afternoon bowling league at the Y. M. C. A., the Nusbaums aeieaieu the Stanleys, bowling 632 in the last prime. The score made by the nus baums was the high team score for this year.

April 10. The lepers at Molokai, one of the Hawaiian Islands, have bought $3,000 worth of thrift and war savings stamps, the national war savings committee announced today. The committee's attention was called to the contribution of the lepers by a letter written to a friend in Memphis, Tenn., by Brother Joseph F. Dutton, now in cnarge 01 the Island colony. The committee statement says: "Formerly an army officer as well as a social favorite, Brother Dutton has devoted the past 3 years of his life to the leper colony. Like his charges, Brother Dutton may. not leave the island, but he flies the stars and stripes above the leper camp, and communicates regularly with friends in Memphis. At the conclusion of a long letter, displaying a keen interest in the affairs of the war. he says: " 'And 60 here we are all the world in a big war all in fact being affected by it. So far away we are busy with it over here. Even our lepers have bought $3,000 worth of thrift stamps the money earned chiefly by those who are still able to do some work." "Hall, Hall, the Gang's All Here." An old classic sung fn a rollicking way by the Shannon Quartet. The tune is familiar to all. "So Lone Mother," one f the many war songs secured Instant recognition when brought out about six months after war was declared. It depicts a scene that is dally occurring In thousands of homes and Is perfectly sung by George Wilton Ballard.

5 HAkVE TEA IWO FRENCH QtiCOlTS league will not start the coming season at all. This isn't Barrow's ftrst experience in the -main tent. He bossed the Detroit Tigers in 1903 and 1904 and later on directed the Montreal au-i Toronto teams in the International. Barrow never played professional baseball. He was born in Des Moines, Iowa, and was a newspaper man in that city. Te first baseball job he had was with the Wheeling (W. Va.) team in 1895. The following season found him with the Patterson club of the old Atlantic league. It was while here that Big Ed, as he is generally known, brought out the rodoubtable Hans Wagner. "Dear Sir: Which do you consider the more effective, a right cross or a left hook?" It all depends; sometimes a pair ot running shoes is to be preferred. It will be interesting to keep tab on the work of Lee Magee this season. t.x' hack in the National league with Cincinnati. As an American leaguer he was more or less of a "minor operation," as they say in the war bulletins. We believe the Federal league spoiled him. He was only twenty-five when he left the Cardinals to manage the Brookfeds. He made a great record as a player, but was deficient as a manager. Maybe he'll do a comeback in 1918, since Cincinnati is his old home town and be is only twentyeight. DO YOU KNOW THAT: Ty Cobb has stolen over 700 bases during his career with the Tigers?

"Therefore, we proposed to extend the military service act to Ireland under the came conditions as in England. As there is no machinery in existence and no register has yet been completed in Ireland, it may take some weeks before actual enrollment begins. As. soon as arrangements are complete the government shall by an order in council, put the act into immediate- operation." "This is a declaration of war against Ireland," interrupted William O'Brien, Nationalist member for Cork, and Michael Flavin, member for Kerry, added: "And Irishmen all over the world." "Without delay!" replied the pre-' mier, who continued: ! "Meanwhile, we intend to Invite parliament to pass a measure for selfgovernment for Ireland." "You can keep it," said Alfred Byrne, Nationalist for Dublin. "Let there be no misanDrehension. Both questions will not hang together. Each must be taken on itd mer. its" said the premier. "You can keep both," replied Mr. Byrne. "Well." said the nremier. "if that is 'the view of home rule, it is a new view for Ireland. Need Every Man. 'If hv anv chance or mischance this colossal battle went against us I do not say the war woula be over any more than it was when Great Britain fought against another attempt at military domiuancy when Napoleon, having overthrown the armies of Europe, had the continent at his mercy.

"But on the other hand, this battle must exhaust the German reserves. The enemy's last call must be thrown in before this battle is over and America is only now putting in the first installments of her first call. . "If we wish to avoid a war lasting for years this battle must be won now and to win it we must be ready to throw in all our resources. The men we propose taking today may well be the means of winning the decisive victory of the war and with these measures and with the promise of America we have no fear of the ultimate iSMie.

Unless you have visited one of our army camps you can hardly realize the importance that war songs play in the daily life of our soldiers. Many of them will not last through the war but without a doubt history will record some of the numbers. "Knit, Knit, Knit." This is the song hit from the musical show "Jack O' Lantern," in which Fred Stone is appearing for the first time since the death of his well-known partner, David Montgomery. Sung by a trio of female voices the tune is as dainty and catchy p you will ever expect to hear. "T 'Lantern Foxtrot" on the reve is already making a tremendc. ...t with dancers.

If you are one of the many thousand victims of torturing Rheumatism, make up your mind today that you will abandon your efforts to rub the disease away with liniments, lo tions, ointments, and local applications. Such treatment by itself is not only futile and devoid of results, but is a waste of time, during which the disease is getting a firmer hold on your system. Rheumatism is a stubborn disease. It is not on the surface, therefore you must not expect to be able to cure it with remedies applied to the surface. No one ever yet ettectea a permanent cure in this way, so why should you continue to suiter while relying upon treatment that has failed in thousands of cases ? The experience of others afflicted with Rheumatism is your best guide, and by following their advice you can not only save yourself untold suffering, but rid yourself of a dis ease that will eventually wreck your body and leave you heipIpss. Almost every victim of Rheumatism has practically the same experience, iney are so impressed with the pains and suffering of the disease, and are so anxious to get rid of them that they have treated the pains alone, and overlooked their cause. They have rubbed with liniments, lotions and ointments in an effort to get temporary relief, with no chance of doing themselves any p e r m a nent good. Such was the experience of Mr. Caspus Bibb, of 2424 Tenth Avenue, Bessemer. Ala., who writes to tell how he found relief from this terrible affliction. He says:

WE "A few yam ao I suffered fram a severe attack of articular Rheumatism that rendered, ra almost helpless. By the use of the usual external remedies I was able to cheek the pain somewhat. bjt did not regarfn the full use of my limbs, and on cloudy days or when exposed to dampness or cold I would Immediately suffer from stiff and aching joints. I bean to take S. S. S., and all symptoms at once began to disappear, until now I have no fear of exposure to the worst sort of weather. I feel it mv duty to recommend S. S S. to all who wish to free themselves from the torturing clutches of Rheumatism." Any physician will tell you that Rheumatism is a deepseated blood disease. The pain is not the disease itself, but merely a symptom nature's warning to you that you have been attacked. The only intelligent treatment, therefore, is through the blood; treatment directed toward eliminating the disease germ from the blood. For years nearly all the prescriptions used by the medical profession were those containing iodide of potash or mercurial substances, but in nearly every case these minerals are more injurious to the system than the disease itself. One reason why S. S. S. is so successful in the treatment of Rheumatism and other blood disorders is the fact that it is a purely vegetable remedy, being made from roots and herbs gathered direct from the forests. It contains not a particle of mineral substance, and acts by driving all disease germs from the blood and cleansing it of all imuprities. S. S. S. has been on the market ior nicy years, and every druggist has sold it ever since he has been in business. It is sold under an absolute guarantee that it is purely vegetable. Our medical department is maintained for the benefit of the afflicted, and if you will write fully about your case you will be given complete advice as to the treatment necessary for your individual case, for which no charge is made.
