BASEBALL MAeNATEs TO MEET
The National League Men Afraid OF
Johnson's Organization


NEW YORK, Dec when the mag
mates OF the National League OF Profes-
siolaI Baseball Clubs meet here on next
Tuesday among other things to be dis
cussed is the project OF the American
Le-sue, formerly the Western, to extend
its circuit to the East Though there IS
10 direct evidence TO that effect there is
every Indication that there is 2 secret un-
Outstanding between the two oFganiza-
tions with the idea Of nnonopoIizIng all OF
the profitable territory and thereby shut
ting out OF the field of competition the
national association of which H. D. Quinn
is q prime mover. Here are the two RI
val circuits;
National League - Boston, Brooklyn,
New York. Philadelphia. Chicago, Pitts
burg, Cincinnati. and St Louis
American League-wsshisgtoD Balti-
more. Philadelphia Buffalo. Chicago, Nil
waukee. Detroit, and Cleveland.
The National League has received So
many serious blows, among them being
the jump Of McGraw and Robinson to the
American League with Baltimore, the loss
of the lease OF Charles River Park, Bos-
ton, because Of Promoter Thomas McCar-
thy's inability to pay the rent, aud the
more recent detection of Quinn himself,
that there IS little chance for il to take
the field with weIl-baianced and
equipped cidcujt-
But the American League is a reality
President Johnson has been East and says
he has made ali the arrangements, but
without the consent OF the National
League. He has awarded the Baltimore
franchise 70 MeGraw and Robinson, the
Washington franchise to James Manning,
who will transfer his Kansas City team
TO that city, and the Philadelphia fran
chise TO the veteran BALI player and man
ager. Connie Mack, who is said 20 repre-
sent d rich man"
Johnson's fourth club in the East at
present is Buffalo Arthur Irwin, an ex-
perienced baseball man. has been trying
10 lease the Charles River Park so he
might put in an applica ton with Johnson
for Boston franchise. 1t is said that
Scden. of the Boston Club. will not con-
sent to the placing Of an American
League Club in his city and for that reas-
on johnson is stuck at Buffalo The na-
tionaI magnates as 4 whole are saying
nothing which appears strange IN view OF
the explosive pTopensities OF many OF
them
For this reason it is believed that the
scheme is cut and dried and that when an
iron clad alliance between the two leagues
has been effected, the ball players asso-
citation Will be thrown down hard 1t is
generally believed the American Leaguers
are looking ahead to the time when the
argument binding the National League
clubs together will be dissolved. That
will occur Immediately after next season
and there will be one of the biggest Up
keavals on record in baseball This is
what johnson is after. and his friends say
that the American will lay the foundation
for new organization from which OBJ

be eliminated

The trouble really was caused by in

The lady referred to above is Mrs. C. V.

years and suspected that coffee was hurt

quit it. Ny heart troubled me so that 1
was very short of breath. and could do
little or nothing that required exertion-
/ had fearful nervous headaches NEARLY
every day, and was exceedingly nervous
with Indigestion and badly constipated
The doctor laughed at my IDEA of heart
trouble, but knew that I was in a serious

months ago. and the change has been
wonderful I feel like another person
My heart does not trouble me at all, and
the stomach and nerves are decidedly in

regular without any purgatiyes or medi-

Mr.. GILMAN's SUCCESSOR.
Johns Hopkins Trustees Looking for
a Suitable Wan for President.


BALTIMORE. Dec. 5.-The question of
a successor TO DIR. D. c. Gilman as Presi-
dent OF Johns Hopkins University occu-
pied considerable time at the monthly
meeting of the board of trustees
Throughout the discussion no lanes
were mentioned in connection with
the position and no definite action was
taken. As stated by one of the trustees
the board is exceedingly anxious to make
selection by early spring and even
sooner, if possible.
1t was generally understood among the
trustees that in the selection of a new
president the wishes of the academic
council and the alumni viii be taken into
favorable consideration.
We desire to have a gentleman" said
a trustee. who is eminently qualified to
take hold Of the university and give it
a wise and efficient administration. The
right man must possess business aeumen
as well as intellectual ability. He must
be an administrative as well as an exeeu-
tive officer This is the kind OF man
we want, and there is no telling when O.
where he may be founG. BY general
interchange of views among the faculty,
the suggestions of the alumni and by cor :
respondence with educational lights
bringing their ideas, we hope to centre
upon some one man who viii fill the bill
So far we are all at sea with nothing
tangible in sight

MUSCLE AND NOR FAT.
What TIan People Need to Round on

TONED every person should have a certain
amount Of excess flesh, bututo be plump
does not necessarily mean to be fat
Fat is undesirable; it clogs and Tetards
the action Of the muscles, ipterferes with
the healthy action OF the heart and lungs
and when very excessive predisposes to
fatty degeneration of vital organs. to say
nothing OF the discomfort resulting from
too much adipose tissue.
Common sense would suggest that If one
wishes to become fieshy and plump the
thing most needed would be 1esh-forming
food that is. albuminous foods like eggs.
beef. oatmeal. etc.
The kinds OF food which make flesh are
the foods we nave on our tables every
day: but the trouble is that our stom-
schs, from weakness or arrangement of
some kind, do not promptly and properly
digest e.
Really, the principal reason so many
people remain thin is because their stOm-
achs do not properly and completely di-
gest and assimilate the desh-forming
beefsteak and eggs we eat every day.
There are thousands of such people, and
they are really dyspeptics, although they
may not suffer any particular pain or in
convenience from their sJemachs
If such persons and all thin people
would take after their meals some simple
and natural digestive, like Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets. the food would be quickly
digested and the proper degree of plump
ness very soon result because these tab
lets are prepared exactly for that puT-
pose They digest every variety OF flesh
forming food which is the real reason
why they so quickly build up and
strengthen thin, dyspeptic men aad
women
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure every
form of Indigestion on this common sense
plan. that they thoroughly digest the food
promptly, giving strength to every nerve
and organ in the body and the weakened
stomach chance TO rest and recover its
natural vigor. Nothing further is re-
quired 10 cure any stomach trouble. ex-
cept cancer Of the stomach. They make
