Tlje animals who were assumed not to.'have a chance were Skeptic at 16, ■ Happy Chappy at 30 and Pllon, Dusky Secret and Victor at 100 to 1 each. .As will be seen 'by reference to "weights, ' Fireball was giving Colonel Ruppert fifteen pounds and Amerlcarto sixteen pounds. Fireball's speed was for making him • such a favorite over a colt 'who showed re markable form as a two-year-old on the Chicago track last summer. • Colonel Ruppert and Fireball cut out the early pace 'and raced through the stretch noses apart. The verdict went to. Fireball iby a nose, with Colonel Ruppert seven lengths in front of Americano .at the wire. . '.; <*';.■»■ .......

CHICAGO PLAYERS STALLED IN MUD UNABLE TO PLAY SCHEDULED GAME YESTERDAY National Leaguers Pall to Arrive In Time— Picked Teams Play Seven Inning* of Interesting Ball A mud bank -was the cause of It nil. The Chicago Nationals were billed to engage the Seraphic legions at Chutes park yesterday afternoon, but the men of Selee did not appear In Los Angelea until late In the afternoon— too late for the scheduled game with the local ball basters. To take the keen edge off the disappointment of the fans who TWO LOS ANQELES FAVORITES-JUD SMITH AND JIMMY TOMAN hied out to the grounds 'yesterday a game was thrown together between picked teams of the Seraphic squad and an Interesting, exhibition of what a ball game should be was held for seven Innings. The Cubs were trounced by Mike Fisher's men at Fresno Friday and they entrained for Los Angeles In plenty of time to keep their appoint ment with the Morleyltes yesterday af ternoon, but the fates Intervened and reports had It that they were stalled for several hours with ' a measure or two boulders and mud between them and the land of sunshine. The men from the windy city will "positively appear", .today, however; and It, will probably 'be . the last time that they wlil cha9e the leather on a local dia mond, as the management plans to de part northward Monday or Tuesday. With the possible exception of the umpire the game between the Percys and the Yannlgans was decidedly sat isfactory. The umpire was a lad . who is known In some quarters as "Mor ley," but the cognomen is supposed to be an alias assumed for the occasion. This aspiring indicator holder claims to be from the I. I. I. league, , but but doubts are also entertained on this score: : Until . the first inning he had fine control on balls and • strikes, but toward the latter part of the game he was frequently assaulted individually and collectively by irate ball players, who took exception to his • uninter rupted string of odorous decisions. Four for the Percys The Percys had things all their own way despite the throbbing efforts of the Yannlgans to baste the ball around the lot. In the first canto the Percys brought their first two men around the sacks. Bernard tipped a fast one through Dillon, and Chase got on 'the bags by poking a slow one down to Jud Smith, who operated on the third pillow. Chase tried to grab the second bang and a most interesting nilxup en sued. The ball was slammed over to the "big cap" and Bernard went to the bench via the final patch. ■ Then Benedict Brashear manipulated the stick. He slipped one to Smith and beat out Jud's fire to the first angle, Chase completing his Journey with minutes to spare. . Again in the seventh and last did the victors connect with the twisters. Cravath lifted something that might be Interpreted as a base hit to the right hedge, and Arthur Ross bunted to "Rusty" Hall. The* big twlrler Blanimed the ball through Dillon, Papa Cravath scor(ng and Ross going to third. Heinle Spies then smote one to center and Ross made it four. It was not until the fourth that the Yannigans. could connect effectively with the borsehlde. Jud Smith passed one to short and Dillon tripled to the left fence,, scoring the forcep man. Eager was pensioned and Bowman walked and was' nabbed at second, fiautn then countered on the ball and doubled to left and Dillon formed the rear guard of the Yannlgan procession. William Betley, who has umpired the Chicago-Los Angelea games, divided his time between first and second for the Percys and pulled off some spec tacular stunts. Willy knows a thing or two about baseball himself. The figures tell the. tale: YANNIOANH. aii nmisnro a a Toman, S 0 0 0 3 10 Flood, £h 10 0 0 10 1 Bmlth, 3b 3 J 10 11 0 DllU.li.

C. campus yesterday afternoon to witness the dual track meet between the col legiate track teams. Although it was expected that Occidental would win the meet, few thought that the Pres byterians • would finish so far In the lead. The final reckoning gave Occi dental 86 points and St. Vincent 36. The meet was well managed and things ran along smoothly until the two mile run. The hammer throw was being contested while the two mile event was being run, and as the com petitors came around on the third lap Petty of Occidental was just preparing to hurl the weight. The husky little Highland Parker puts lots of force into his heaves, and as he swung around and sent the hammer sailing toward the track, where the distance men were running. Shea, who was in the notch and stood a good show 1 of winning the race, ran directly under the falling hammer. Roth of Occidental was disqualified In the mile run for tripping one of hi* opponents.

Shipped up from Ancot park and kppl In the car 2t hours after he got here he was made an added starter and then at a long price, shocked the talent by cleverly capturing the nice fat purse from the heavily played pub lic choices, Veterano and Horatlus. In the betting on the big race Horatlus closed favorite at 11 to 10, Veterano was held almost as tightly, being at 6 to 6. Flying Torpedo was played from 10 down to 7. Grafter got the over look and when the bugle sounded 13 to 1 could be had against his chances. Flying Torpedo set out to make* the pace and led for three tlmeß nround the ring, with Grafter second and Hor atlus third. Just before .the final spurt the horse .with- the explosive name blow up.

What Sulphur Does For the Human Body in Health and Disease - - The .mention of sulphur, will • rjecall to many, of us the early days when our; , mothers and grandmothers gave :; us. our dally dose of sulphur and i mo- I lasses every spring, and fall.' ;'.,,.,' i, - It was the universal : spring , and fall "blood purifier,", .tonic , and 'cure-all, : and '. mind you, .'. this ' old-fashioned;, remedy was not without merit. ' >;' •. The. idea' was good, 'but <the remedy was . crude and unpalatable > and a large ; quantity had ;to '.be . taken -.to j get any effect.. ' . '■ i. ■• • ''<:■ Nowadays we get all the , beneficial- effects of sulphur In a* palatable, con- . centrated form, so that a -single grain. Is far more effective than a table^ . spoonful of the ■ crude sulphur. ' ■ ' ' • . In recent, years, : research, and ex'-. r- perlment ha ye i proven that • the ■ best ■.'• sulphur for medicinal use Is. that ob-. tamed from- Calcium (Calcium Sul-~ : phide) and sold In drug stores ■ under I the name of Stuart's Calcium ■ Wafers.' They are, small 'chocolate . coated pel- lets and contain the ' active medicinal/ principle of sulphur in a highly con- centrated,' effective. form. . y : *»■ ..: ■ ,■.•-' Few people are aware ef the value- of this. form, of, sulphur in restoring -. and maintaining . bodily . vigor ; and', health; sulphur acts directly on thei liver and excretory organs and purl- • fies . and enriches ■• the blood', by. theY prompt elimination of waste material.':' Our grandmothers knew., this when, they dosed us with sulphur, and !mo-';! mo-'; lasses every spring and 'fall, but the crudity and' impurity "■' of ■. ■■ ordinary/ flowers "of sulphur were often worse :'■; than the disease and cannot compare 9 with the modern concentrated prepar-' ; ations of sulphur, of which' Stuart's J Calcium Wafers is undoubtedly ■■■ the best and most widely used. ;.. : •';',; ■•! They are the natural antidote for' liver and kidney troubles, and ■cure- constipation and purify. the blood In a way- that often surprises patient and physician alike. •"'.-.', Dr. R. M. Wilklns while experiment- •'' ing with sulphur remedies soon, found;- that the sulphur from I Calcium ' was ' superior to any other form. He says:; "For liver, kidney and blood troubles, . especially when resulting from consti- pation or malerla, I have V been sur- prised at the results ' obtained ". from Stuart's Calcium Wafers. In patients, suffering from bolls and pimples ' and even deep-seated carbuncles, I havej repeatedly seen them dry up and'dis-' appear In- four or five' days, leaving; the skin clear and smooth. Although' Stuart's Calcium wafers is. a proprie- 1 . tary article and sold by druggists and for that reason tabooed by many.phy-' sicians, yet I know of nothing so safe ," and reliable for constipation, liver and. kidney, troubles, and especially in all forms of skin diseases , as .this rem.-; edy." ;. :;* V" ' -.'.''. ' '■■ ; ';•* : At any rate people who ■•• are tired ; of pills, cathartics and so-called "purifiers," will find: in' Stuart's Calr ■ clurn Wafers a far safer, .more pal-{ atable and effective ■ preparation. , . ; ; ( >
