Dream That's Almost a Nightmare.
New York. Feb. 1. While the
Giants and other institutions of great
wealth are paying Christmas Iree
prices for stars of the late lamented
Federal league, there is weeping an1
wailing and gnashing of teeth .among
of mixed bouts, contests between
whites and negro fighters. Genera)
opinion among men who give the
the great majority of ball players game its touch of class is against the
manager oi uunuoac amun.
The spectacle of a black fighter de
feating a white man, toying with him,
kidding him perhaps (as was Jack
Johnson's wont in his prime) before
handing him his quietus seems to
grate on the white man's sensibilities
even in prospect. The reality, i
would appear, would be a blow to the
sport.

Commissioners of I41 Grande, who
were specially invited guests. The
banquet, served by the Ladies of the
Altar society, was much appreciated
by those present. " F. L. Meyers was
toastmaster, for the after dinner
speeches. Right ' Reverend Bishop
O'Reilly was the first speaker. He
responded to the toast, "Our country
and our church." In stirring words
the bishop refuted the time-worn cal
umny that a Catholic cannot be a
good citizen. He recounted the his
tory of the country, and showed that
at all times Catholics have been to the
front in its defense. His burning
words aroused great enthusiasm.
District Deputy J. H. Peare wel
comed the visiting Knights and candi
dates and reminded them of the obli
gations that they had taken.
W. A. Barrett, state deputy of Al
bany, was the next speaker. He ex
pressed his appreciation of the cere
monies of the day and urged the
Knights to continue the good work

Maybe a crowd of athletes wi'l
have to pay the conductor for the ride
from their respective homes to their
equally respective rendezvous. Maybe
they will have to go through finan
cial formaltities with the hotel man
this year which were attended to in
1915 by the club treasurers and may be,
while the same of supposin' is
strong, maybe some of the players
will find the price of their own uni
forms deducted from the first semi
monthly pay-check.
Ball players winked at their finan
cial and gastronomic strategy on the
road in other- years.,. They dropped
off at way stations and stayed the
pangs of hunger with lunch counter
sandwiches, though they were allowed
liberally for dinning-car meals at
dinning car prices. Jt was a form of
great graft and with some athletes
amounted to quite a sum in the
course of the season.
New York boxing enthusiasts work
ed themselves into a heated statu of
mind during the recent agitation to
allow decisions in ten round bouti.
The opponents of the plan advanced
several objections, chief among them
being the game was doing pretty
well, thank you, under existing con
ditions. The logic of the situation
however, was expressed by an author
ity who cited the case of the fighter
and the boxer appearing short bout.
"Suppose a rough, tough, durable
fighting person were champion ,"
said this fight expert. "That type of
man has to go ten rounds and havo
his pay altered quite u bit to get his
fighting instinct aroused. He is badlj
beaten ns a rule for the first ten
weakens under his own exertion and
succumbs to a knockout in a finish
fight. Would you have a fighter lose
his championship on his showing in
ten rounds under those conditions?
It's all wrong, Fred Wenck; entire
ly erroneous." 1

I sake of the sport alone are alarmed
I over another agitation in boxing cir

"It's a pleasure to sell a medicine j
when your customers come in after
ward and tell you how much good it
has done them," said Newlin's the
popular druggists to a La Grande
man, "and thut ij why they like to
sell and recommend Mi-o-na, the
dyspepsia remedy. They have so
much faith in this article that they
are going to guarantee it in the fu
ture, and will return the money to
any purchaser of Mi-o-na whom it
does not help. That may seem rash
but their customers have said so
many good words in its favor that

"Anyone -who has dyspepsia, whose
food does not digest well, and who has
to take thought as to what he can
eat, and when, can leave 50 cents de
posite at their store and take home
a box of Mi-o-na and if the remedy
does not regulate his digestion 3iid
help his dyspepsia he can withdraw
his money."
This shows great faith in the merit
of Mi-o-na. It is really a most un
usual medicine and tho rapid ti.crease
of sales since they introduce:! it in
La Grande shows that it does all that
it is claimed to do relieves dyspep
sia, regulates digestion and enables
those who" use it to cat just what they
want with no fear of trouble after.

replied, "why if they diavn't bread, let them eat cake."
