Tom first baseman of the Chester (Pa.) baseball team, was yesterday signed by the local aggregation of the Central league.

MURRAY SIGNS "In an age In which nothing is held sacred, from the Constitution to marriage, I supposo it is too much to expect that draw poker should bo exempt from the pernicious activity of tho reformer," said the gray haired young looking man, as he put his feet on tho fender in the club smok-, ing room. He continued: "The mere fact that I'm personally aggrieved nt the way this noble game is misplayed nowadays does not, as a matter of course, retard tho march of progress appreciably, and I am resigning myself as best i cua to tho thought that the genuine game is likely soon to become extinct. "I don't intend by any means," he continued, "to imply that there is any likelihood of draw poker dying out. On the contrary its vogue seems to be Increasing, but It is real sorrow to me to see the many changes that are being introduced from time to tlmo and the general favor with which these changes are regarded by average players. It might be claim- ed that these changes are Improve- iiit.iua, muni, mm.

If that be true It Is by no means Impossible that draw poker will die out alter a time as other games have declined In favor because of having no vital interest." Another of the party Interrupted at this point. "We know you are an enthusiast," he said, "and we respect you for your earnest admiration of a game we all regard with respect, but don't you think you may be overanxious about the well being of draw poker? It strikes me it is played more than ever and In about the same way it has been played since I can remember." "I hope I may be overanxious," said tho first speaker, "and I agree with you that the game Is played nowadays more generally than ever, rnnuirniiu imta TftfH In tho mind the average playcr, justifies his foolish ay anu actual UiaCilCC tends to demoralize the whole party so that If Evansville sells out, Torre Haute In time they are all playing foolish-; will probably want to quit and there ly and there are no longer any calcu-J will be little opposition from the mag-lutions to be made as to the probabil- nates. our specialty for years, and there- I 1 nrssn Aoena r9 VARICOSE or We Cure Without Cutting Come For One Visit WHAT IT DOES TO MEN So much has been said about Varicocele in medical advertisements that every man ought to know if he lias it or not. It Is a solid fact, however, that we run across men every day that are ja complaining of wanness who have been so negligent as to not even examine themselves and discover their trouble until it has run them down and weakened them mentally and physically.

WHAT "Varicocele," a preva- lent disease of man, 11 IS is a dilation or' enlargement of the veins, which from various causes become corded and knotty, feeling like A bundle of earthworms when taken in the hand. It usually occurs on the left side and produces dragging sensations in the groin and back. It often impairs the general health and then causes much worry and you may grow despondent. "DON'T No sensible man should wait. He WAI1 should realize that the longer he delays the more the parts affected will waste away.

Both McFarland and Kinney are two of the most popular boxers that have ever been seen in the ring In Davenport Both are strong favorites with the boxing fans and would undoubtedly prove a big drawing card. For the semi-windup, it ia proposed to match John Coulon with some other good 105-pound boy.

Malachy Hogan will be the referee. FINAL DECISION IN SEBRING CASE Cincinnati" Jan. 19. The formal report of the national commission on the case of Jimmy Sebring, the outlaw outfielder of the Chicago Cubs, has been given out. The Instrument, which was announced by President Herrmann of the commission, gives several reasons for the refusal to re-Instate Sebring.

The evidence offered at the trial showed that Sebring on several occasion! tried to induce players under the national agreement to jump thi'lr rontracts and join the outlaw ranks. This tampering with national agreement players is the main reason for Bebring's being refused reinstatement. The commission and the Chicago club were willing to excuse him for Jumping his contract with the Culm, but the baseball supreme court would ttot overlook the fact that he had tried to build up the outlaw league at the expense of organized baseball. lit RACE TRACKS So Declare Turfmen and Other Interested Parties in New York. New York, Jan.

19. Fully realizing (fhat race tracks without any betting would never work, racing men and Bdvocates of the sport in this state are preparing to make a strong fight against the probable laws that will be passed to this effect, and it is said that they have several millions of dollars to back them. The fight against betting at the tracks Is being conducted chiefly by Attorney Jerome, and it Is against him that race track men ere directing all their energy and money to prevent such a catastrophe to their interests. In the penal code, section 331, it etates that "it is a felony for anyone to be engaged in pool selling or book-making," and the penalty is a term In prison for not more than two years or the "imposing of a lino of $2,000." There exists, however, a clause which (declares that "this is not operative where another penalty is or was fixed." This other penalty is supplied by the Percy-Gray race track law, which Bays that the bet is to be forfeited In case of betting on the tracks. Attorney Jerome has In mind an amendment to this whereby a person belting In either poolroom or race track Is guilty of a misdemeanor.

YOUNG If by your own acts, through ignorance, you have violated a single law of nature, against body or mind, by omission or commission, especially by any habit, then there is no escaping the punisli-ment made and provided for every transgression, which is Sickness, Decay or Death. The immutable laws of nature, governing and regulating the universe, are so nicely adjusted, both in the animal and vegetable kingdoms, that for each violation of any law there is a fixed penalty of Sickness, Decay or Death. This is as certain as night follows day. And you, young man, may pay the penalty right here on this earth, in this life, sooner or later. Take courage and go to the Copenhagen Medical Institute and be cured.

Middle Ag f.isn The springtime of youth with you has passed. Life is a sober reality. You see, feel and understand differently now. You know more. Looking back over your life you can point, out the mistakes you have made.

For some of the violations of nature's laws in your youth you have no doubt paid the penalty, for punishment in these transgressions is swift. But written upon nature's calendar there are 'other and graver charges for which you are now probably suffering. Nature will make no compromise in your case, you must suffer tho penalty of Sickness, Decay or Death in this life and not in the life hereafter. Now is the time to act. Be a man and ask for help.

Go to the Copenhagen Medical Institute. They will lend a helping hand and make you well and happy. People who live In outside towns and in the country should write for information and ad vice free. ARCTIC OWL STALKED PIGEONS. Bostonians Watched a Combat on the Old South Church Roof.

An enormous specimen of the genus F.uboniho, with a spread of wings of nearly five feet, industriously stalked; pigeons on the roof of tho Old South i church recently, says the Boston i'ost. Like the raven made immortal by ttdgar Allan Poe, the great gray owl was probably brought to town by the Christmas storm, drifting along in the snow and wind for thousands of miles from the frozen north. Ex-Cashier F. A. Low of the Suffolk bank was the first to spy the owl.

He was seated in room 538, Old South building, when a shadow suddenly darkened the window and tno scores of pig' ons which have transformed the Old South ridgepole into a featb red lovers' lane set up a frightened coolng and i.ureu Uie s.at tW banker.

He declared If was undoubt edly an arctic owl driven ny some i thousands of miles from its home. When the bird left the vicinliy of the Old South church it proceeded toward the harbor at express train speed and was seen no more. Paic cnort lot tied beer In quarts and pints!

"I agree with you," said the critic. "The occasional jackpot certainly does add zest to the game, but playing all jacks is something like eating a dish made entirely of red pepper. It is pungent enough but the proper flavor is absent. "The nil jack game seems to havo 1 tieen anopieu on tno ineory mat makes the play higher, faster and more exciting, and I am not prepared to say that it would not accomplish this in a no limit game, or in a table stakes game, but you don't t'md cither of these, being played in tho average New York poker party.

Only the gong saved Baker from a knockout in the seventh round, and in the eighth round his seconds threw up tho sponge to save their boy from being severely punished.
