President C. b Power, Of the Inter
state Base Ball League, has sent out
the playing schedule for the coming
season for publication on Saturday
morning. The schedule provides for a
season of 14O games, including Sundays
in Toledo, Dayton, Grand Rapids and
Fort Wayne. The season opens May
1st and closes September 10th. The
Interstate will play more games than
the more pretentious Western League.
which has adopted a schedule of 126
games.
Wheeling fares very well at the
hand of the schedule makers. The
season will be opened on the home
grounds with New Castle. Youngstown
and Mansfield following for three
games each. The team then goes to
Mansfield, Toledo, Fort Wayne, Grand
Rapids, Dayton and Mansfield, playing
two games on Decoration Day in that
city, then going to Youngstown and
returning home to open with Toledo on
June 5th. The Fourth of July games
will be played in Wheeling with Mans
field as the opposing club. New Castle
plays in Youngstown July Fourth,
Dayton in Toledo, Grand Rapids in
Fort Wayne. The schedule was pre-
pared with view to having as many
Sunday games as possible, but it is evil
dent that no favoritism was shown to-
ward Wheeling.

Oscar Gardner returned yesterday
from New York, accompanied by Win
ME Winder and his trainer Hugh Ar
mold. Gardner at once retired and took
some much needed rest. His friends
say that O'Donnell was very much
afraid of him in his battle Tuesday
night and was evidently determined to
lose it upon a foul. He did not fight
fair at any stage, and the result was
inevitable almost from the moment the
men entered the ring. Arnold trained
Gardner for his last battle with O'Don-
nell and says the latter won simply be-
cause Gardner was not in condition.
He did not land single effective blow
upon the kid" but toward the end Of
the fight Gardner swung and missed
and fell from weakness, taking nine
second to arise. O'Donnell saw his
condition and rushed him with the re-
suit that he got the decision. Gardner
in condition can whip ring full OF
O'Donnells. Oscar will now train for
his coming battle with Joe Hopkins.

Washington, April 13.-During the
practice games of the various base bal
clubs it was found that the balk rule
adopted by the National League was
unsatisfactory, and many complaints
were made in regard to it. The old
rule in relation to the bases provided
that a motion made by the pitcher to
throw to any base without delivering
the ball should be balk. A change
has been adopted SO as to make the
rule apply to first base only.

AFTER REEDS PLACE.
Iowa Has Two Candidates Already in
the Field.

Des Moines, Ia, April 21--Iowa has
two full f1edged candidates for the
speakership. A Dubuque special says
that Hepburn, in an interview has sta
ted that he will support Henderson. and
Henderson's friends here are confident
he will have the full Iowa delegation.
As he is chairman of rules and next to
the speaker, his nomination would be
natural
From CIarinda, the home of Hepburn,
1t is claimed that he has the solid sup
port of Iowa. Captain Hull, of Des
Mofnes, chairman of the military COM
Tnittee says he will not be a candidate.
Politicians here say no Iowa congress-
man is entitled to claim a solid dele
cation No conference has ever been
held by the deIeaatiOn on the subject;
till it is held nothing can be known
Hepburn and Henderson Will both make
strong effort for the delegation and IL
is expected the unit rules will prevail
giving a solid delegation to the man
with majority.

IRONOUILL AT HOME.
Will Write Some Poetry Founded on
Mexican Legends.

Eugene Ware has returned from Old
Mexico and is again plunged in the
depths of legal controversies. He
brought back with him a healthy MeXi-
can tan. a number of Mexican memen-
toes and the impression that Mexico is
a very picturesque country. When he
gets time he will write several poems
founded on legends and theories he
picked up in the land OF the Monte
zumas.
Mr.. Ware says that Mexico is be-
coming rapidly Americanized, that is.
in the busiest districts He advises
those who wish to see Mexico in its pic
turesque state to visit il soon, as the
advance of modern ideas will in a few
years rob the greater portion of the
country of this interest. The Kansas
poet met President Diaz, and he in
tends to send the Mexican executive a
copy of his poems soon in accordance
with request. He says President DiaZ
is very brilliant man.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ware made the trip to-
gether. and travelled extensively over
Old Mexico They were absent from
topeka for some weeks
