BASEBALL GOSSIP.

Readers OF The Times have been kept
well posted as to the plans of the National
League for the coming season, so that they
can ridicule any statement relative to
reduction in the number of clubs.
Persons who are not in close touch with
the situation In the League have been
trying to make capital out of the consoli-
dation of the interest in Brooklyn and
Baltimore and in Cleveland and ST. Louis.
No matter what blunders the magnates
have made in legislation or in conducting
the sport on the field, there never has
been the slightest shade of suspicion cast
upon the honesty of the game. Even In
the Brotherhood war in 1890. when the
bitterest of feeling existed between the
National and Players leagues, and all
sorts of mud throwing was INDUCED in,
neither side made charges calculated to
reflect upon the squareness Of the contests
on the diamond. The action of the League
in expelling Hall. Devlin, Craver, and
Nichols more than twenty years ago be-
cause of crooked practices, and their in
ability TO regain their former employ
ment, effectually placed baseball on the
high plane where it has remained ever
since. Students of the business end of
baseball know that a club to be successful
must win as many games as possible. The
fact that teams managed by Hanlon, Selee,
Ewing, Tebeau, and one or two others
have monopoliZed the leading places in the
League race for the past ten years, while
the unsuccessful clubs have, with few
exceptions, been the same from year to
year, is sufficient proof that the games are
played on their merits in each and every
instance. The recent attack on the hon
esty of baseball, therefore, which was in
spired by the man who has been accused
of making an attempt to kill the game,
is regarded as absurd and unworthy of
belief Baseball cranks are legion. They
know the game, in some instances, better

A Congressman's Story.

In presenting Mr. Clark's endorsement,
two symptoms are mentioned which the
general public do not realize as being
caused by catarrh. These are irritability
OF temper and confusion of memory. IN
relating his experience, Mr. Clark says:
For some time previous to the organi-
zation of the Fifty-fifth Congress / began
10 notice several very uncomfortable and
disagreeable symptoms in my nose and
throat, which not only affected my voice,
but prevented me from fixing my thoughts
on subjects In question. Ny nose would
stop up, my head felt dull, heavy, and
ached. j became nervous and irritable.
Ny throat was dry and frequently filled
with macus, difficult TO expel. My voice
lost its volume and force. After speaking
only short time ! would become hoarse,
and only those very near me could hear
what / was saying. My distressing oondi-
tion became apparent 10 all, and it was
while considering what best TO do l was
advised by the late lamented Governor
Nelson Dingley to adopt the Cowden-
Riegel treatment. He said he had suffered
from the same aggravating symptoms and
had tried a number of remedies and several
eminent specialists, but had found no re-
lief until he adopted the Cowden-Riege
method. and then for the first time pro-
cured almost immediate and permanent
relief.
Such advice from such man must be
accepted without question, so ! applied at
once for treatment. Ny experience was
most pleasing indeed. / was relieved
almost at once. My head became clear, I
breathed freely through my nose, my voice
cleared up, mucus ceased to accumulate
and cough stopped. Since this treatment

MoIecuIizer Fees.

All patients desiring home treatment by
the Moleculizer method will be furnished
a complete outfit and remedies suitable to
their case at the rate of IS for the first
month and $3.50 for each month following.
The privilege of one office visit week for
consultation and medicine is also allowed.
This is great offer and will prove of value
10 the following class of patients:
Those who cannot afford to take office
treatment.
Those who cannot spare the time to call
regularly, and those who live at too great
a distance.
The Moleculizer overcomes all these OBJ
jections and permits each patient to treat
himself by the identical method that has
cured Mr.. Clark and thousands of others.

Those who expected Janey would have a

the Brooklyn boy and the sudden termi-
nation early in the game in favor of
Janeys adversary. Fisher is a good one
and Ulman is fully aware of the fact but
thinks he is more than a match for him.
Manager Herford is arranging for the ap

DEATHS FROM SPOTTED FEVER.
Two More Victims Claimed by the
Dtsease

Spotted fever. which has been productive
of such an alarming rate of mortality in
some sections of the city, is not yet on the
wane, as was thought by the Health De-
partment last week. Two more deaths
were reported yesterday. bringing the total
to twenty-five deaths within three weeks
Ordinarily there are not that many deaths
during an entire year from any one specific
cause. The disease is not epidemic. but
its fatality is such that more dIaths occur
from it within a given period and to the
same number of patients than from almost
any other disease. The mortality in this
city from spotted fever has been about so
per cent during the past three weeks.
