After 15 rat tling rounds before the Acme Club last night, Toby Irwin, of San Francisco, was awarded the decision over Jack Clifford, of Butte, Mont, by Referee Phil Wand, whose verdict, while doubtless a fair one, was not pleasing to the friends of Clif ford, who showed their disapproval of "Wand's ruling by hissing and, -hooting that official. A large majority of the habitual Ting-goers, however, sustained "Wand's ac tion. Irwin's cleverness won the fight for him. The Butte boy was the aggressor, during the greater part of the contest, and forced the fighting in surprising style, but his jqdgment was bad and what he made up in strength he lacked In generalship. Ir win landed far more frequently than did his opponent, and his delivery was more clean and scientific. Clifford had Irwin in poor shape in more than one round, but could not put In a winning punch, It was one of the best contests, from a spectator's standpoint, seen here for some time.

Dallas College Is Defeated In Basket Ball 26 to 10. The Portland Y. M. C. A.'.s All-Stars' ability to throw the ball Into the basket last night was too much for the team from Dallas College, and the local team won out by a score of 28 to 10. The game was fast from the start, and was much more Interesting than" the contest with Oakland. A number of times during the game Dal las had a good chance to score, but the thrower always failed ta land the sphere In that receptacle, and many points were lost lor the, visitors In that way. Then, too. several times 'when the visitors were allowed to toss on a foul .Wilson failed to judge the distance, and this, accom panled with the Inability to get field goals, made the Dallas score much -smaller than It would have been If the forwards had been In better practice at throwing. The team work of the Dallas men was excellent, and the way they got the ball from one end to the other was a surprise to the All-Stars. Portland's "team work was. up to the usual standard! and the baskets obtained were all the result of perfect understanding of the game among the players.

There la a tendency nowadays to aacrlbe cases of lost vitality to lack of- nerve force and- to treat them aa euch. with tonics, electricity and stimulants, resulting In but the most temporary benefit. If at all. As a result of observations and practical experience, I have been convinced that the nerves play but a subsidiary role In the production of disorders of men. It Is very unusual to find any trouble. In an otherwise strong man. other than a damaged prostate or deep urethral Inflammation, particularly In those whose disorders orlz lnatedN In too-lcng-cbnllnued and too-often-repeated excitement, or the' harmful Influ ence exercised by all Ill-treated contracted dUorder, and If exhausted nerve force seemed to be present. It la only aa a concomitant, or perhaps we may say a compli cation of chronic pnwtatls, and. disappeared with Its cure. Still further, these facts are verified by purely local treatment, for procedure directed toward repairing the damaged gland are always rewarded by the most brilliant cures. Special attention given to Varicocele, Contagious Blood Diseases and Acute and hronlc Urethral and Pn-etatlc Inflammation.
