In such caaes the patient losea time-In- consulting a doctor. But when the kidneys become affected there ara no nlarmlim symptoms to excite fear andi. the diaenne slowly extends into tne tiHMiiea. In the majority of canes the patient does not feel as well as he should, but lie.blames It on the weather, overwork, belpg on his feet too long, or thinks it's rheumatic.

He may feel bettor when he comes back, but tha disease in the ktdnevs has grown worsa every day, though he does not know it.

ROWE'S Entry blanks for the L. A. na tional meet will be sent out this week. They are now tu the hands of the chair man of the racing committee, Herbert Foltz, who is awaiting the approval of Chairman Mott before sending them to the riders. The two-mile multicycle han dlcap, which haa excited so much atten- tion, has been finally decided as to the way it shall be run.

As It now stands It will be a multlplet paced handicap. The entry blanks for this event will read as follows: "Entries for this race will be re celved from single riders with multicycle pace, each eptrant to state the style machine used," but not necessarily the names of his pacemakers. The handicap will be made on the ability of the single riders, and the finals will Include those machines qualifying in -trial heats, be they single or multicycle. Entries to this race will be confined to four of each class of multicycles, those received first having Via nraffiv.tivft Michael's pacing team will be reorgan ea once, Tom Eck, the veteran trainer, is said to have new troubles with the racine board. Eck refuses to say anything for uuuncauun regaramg nie latest trouble, but is scurrying around quite considerably In an attempt to right matters before a decided step Is taken by the much-dreaded racing board, with which he has had Sunnry troubles in the past.

These were adjusted at the time with the proviso that more dealings oi tne same nature would mean nis permanent retirement.

The MielKiel-Llnton race Is the sole tonl of conversation among the crack riders the east, one point or severe criticism In relation to Michael's ride, unon which all seem to agree, was that he should not have lost a lap and a half because of a sngnt puncture. Linton had several ex tra wheels stationed at various narts the track all the race, and If he nad experienced a puncture he would not have lost half a lap in changing wheels. Judging from the length of time It took Michael to make a change there was no extra wheel; for him held In readiness. This was a repetition of what happened lo him In his race with McDuflle at epringtield. Handicap singles closed the Canadian tennis tournament at Nlagara-on-the-Lake yesterday.

Titus con ferred with his backers, the American as sociation, and thev at once acreed to back him.

Titus has ridden five miles unpaced in and holds the five-mile unpaced record of 11:05, the faster mark having been made In practice, Martin's fastest five unpaced is said to have been, 11:80, But this dpes not figure as a very' great difference when it -is an unlimited distance race, for Martin Is a as his nickname lmrlMes, and the distance being unlimited. Titus Is thought to have his nanns run in tne contest, which will prob-ably be a hard one from start to finish Woodslde park, in Philadelphia, Is anxious to give a handsome purso for the race, ana may secure it. The pacemakers of the Michael team were a sorry looking lot when they entered last Saturday's contest against Linton. The Urquhart brothers. Tom Sulli van and Wlnckley, all of the Clint Davis quint team, were so badly scraped and sore that they could not undress themselves.

These riders came down through the bursting of a tire. The Wenzel aulnt also fell. Some of these men were fright- runy lacerated on the cement truck, which they said was like Band paper, demon strating tne tact ny snowing tneir snoes, through which holes were rubbed and on which the brass eye-hole pieces had been ground the level of the leather. In such scraping as tins tneir skin suffered and few. had any left at all on one side or their poay, Gardiner objects to the plan of counting points upon the championship.

Gardiner Is in the lead is riding better than the the others and is the last who should kick. The Chicago man feels that he may lose in one or two aays, providing tie tie at an nit rf Una in hla fftrt-r. all ha Vtaa nmn tnrough monthR of hard work in obtain ing the lead. He firmly believes that the points should be counted alike In all championship races and moreover looks upon the general points table at four for a win, two for a second and one for third, as the fairest criterion for all around competitive honors. Other riders believe as does Gardiner ana tear ror tneir standing at the national meet, owing to men perfectly fresh entering the held there, who are likely to scoop things.

Frank Waller, the Dutchman, has en tered Into his training for his attempt upon Cordang's 24-hour record of 618 miles, with the greatest enthusiasm. Wal ler Is 40 years of age. and is the eldest cyclist now at the game. Ho Is using moreover the largest gear used, 15, and is going unpaced and paced at racing speed. On the road he has ridden 100 miles in 6:17, and up around Boston he is breaking all tne roaa records from place to place by hours oftentimes.

In August he is going for the New York to Chicago record, arid then intends to get down to the last licks for the 24-hour, in which he will have the best of pace. Dave Shafer has discovered a wonder In a man by the name of Nawn. who joined the Michael outfit in Boston, and whose nativity is Scotch. Nawn is a great unpaced rider, and Shafer is anxious to matcn mm against uiimon ti. coulter for any part of l.ooo for a pursuit race So generally have the middle distance races of the present season been made farcical by unforeseen accidents to the machines of the contestants themselves or to the pacing machines, causing falls oftentimes of both man ana pacing team, that an agitation has been started in New York city leading to the change being made in all articles of agreement that will cause a cessation of the contest while a change of machine Is being made or the rider suffering -having time to get a new pacing The agitation has not been Annual Salea over 6.000,000 Boxes FOE 8HI0U8 AND HEEV0U8 DIS0EDEE3 inch as Wind and Pain In the Stomach, Giddiness, Fulness after meals, Headache, Dizziness, Drowsiness.

WILLIE WAS NOT STEADY. ioA Support Could Not Save Ridg- way Rhlnes From Defeat. Boston, July 19. Rhlnes' pitching yes terday was good in spots, between which Boston did enough batting to win.

Willis, one of the weakest stickers In the league, made three clean hits. It looked like a whitewash for Fltts-burfr until the sixth, when Rhlnes. who had beer passed to first, was advanced on a similar favor to McCarthy, and scored on Gray's base hit. O'Brien wns hit by -dhe ball and the corners were filled with but two hands out. Then with three balls and two strikea called, Shrlver lost his head and struck wildly at a ball that went a foot beyond tlie end of his bat.

The spectators were leaving the grounds when In the ninth the pirateB cut loose Brlen hit safely and then 1'ad den af.d Ely sent him home with scorch lng drives. It looked squally, but Willis settled down and retired the next men tasliy. Attendance, 1,800, Score: Boston. R.B.P.A.E.j Pitts R.B.P.A.E. Jjone.

"Hanlon Indorses the Idea of the infleld-ers wearing shin pads." says Joe Flanner, In Sporting News.

And Jim Hart and Tom Burns would doubtless indorse the idea of the orphans wearing brass knucks concealed in two-ounce boxing gloevs. Bobby Wallace's streak of hard luck at the bat was broken at tha exnense of Weyhing and Mercer In the two games or tne present series witn the senators. Bobby batted at a .3.33 gait in Friday's game, ana Dumped Mercer for a pair of singles on eaturaay. Bill Lange is still abed at the Arlington hotel, in Washington.

Sey-bold's batting would help out at least six teams In the major league, so Presi dent narrows, or tne Atlantic organization, believes, but major league magnates have learned not to place too much dependence upon the opinion of Barrows, Denny Long and others. The St.

Louis club hasn't money enough to buy Joe Corbett'B release," says Ned Hanlon. "This is a pretty poor market to come to just now. We are looking out for players, and haven't any more releases to sell. Joe Is a clever youngster, who has been spoiled by his brother Jim. Perhaps Joe will succeed as a writer, but I haven't heard of Richard Harding Davis or Stephen Crane being recalled and Corhett ordered to the front In the place of either." The players are wondering if Swartwood and Wood have signed with Chicago for the season.

They have been assigned to the orphans pretty regularly and have followed them so far from Chicago. Swartwood Is a good umpire, though far from Infallible, but Wood is always unsatisfactory. He Is well meaning, but has a fixed aversion to calling out any base runner unless the put out Is very patent and ha3 genius for absenting himself from the locality where a decision Is needed. Chicago Record. CONDITIONS OF THE SHOW.

Bettlne on the Bernsteln-Santry 2i- round bout, scheduled for the Lenox Athletic club next Friday night, Is brisk in New Ycrk.

Bernstein, although not so clever as his opponent, is the favorite, but as the race track men favor Santry these conditions will probably be changed before the fight. On tne surface it appears that McCoy and Corbett are fairly pining for a wallop at each other's anatomy. But there are certain students of human nature, as humanity runs in the Queensburg line, who feel convinced that the Kid and the Pompadour are working on a eub-rosa basis; that their bluff and cross-counter of elocution was simply a bit of stage play, mere acting. Aa was expected Gus Ruhlln found an easy mark when the Pelican A. C.

matched him against Jack McCormlck. Their bout on Saturday night was one-sided and interesting only for the fact that it gave an opportunity for the Akron giant to display hirabillty as a punisher. McCormlck withstood the onslaught much longer than was anticipated, it being eight rounds before the fight terminated, and then It was stopped only for the reason that McCormlck was a bartered and bruised mass and incapable of putting up a half-way decent defense.
