WALTHOUR MOVES UP FRONT.
Intense Excitement While "Bobbyr
spurts in siS-Dny Race.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1l.-Today proved to
be the best and most sensational Of the
week for the bicycle riders in the six
day race at Madison Square Garden. Ten
teams. the same IS on Tuesday. remained
in the race, but at night there came a
change in their relative positions. the
first one since Monday morning.
Tae change was brought about through
a sprint Of Walthour's. After long rest
Bobby came out TO relieve MeEachern.
and upon doing 1t, started a terrible
sprint. He gained nearly half a lap be-
fore the string. led by Nat Butler, over
hauled the ruua way. He carried with him
three others. bDt Of these one represented
a second place team. and one of the lead
ing teams was left behind In a bunch OF
five that could not stand the clip and
were eventually Iapped by the other five.
The excitement during the progress OF
this shift was OF the widest description
No enc Of the 5000 or 5000 persons in the
house thought Of keeping seated or re
naming quiet.
At midnight. Butler and Mclean gained
a lap, but It was not allowed because
they violated the rules in doing It. The
incident caused a great sensation.
The score at midnight was:
McEachern and walthour. l.29O-S;
Newkirk and Munro. .3gO-S; Maya and
Wilson. 1905; Butler and Mclean
Babcock and Turyille, 3g0-7. King and

A FEW REASONS
which Are RAPIDLY Making New
Cntnrrh Cure Famous.

stuart's Catarrh Tablets the new Ca
tarrh cure. has the following advantages
over other catarrh remedies.
First. These tablets contain no co.
cEine. morphine, or any other Injurious
drug, and are as safe and beneficial for
children as for adults: this is an import
ant point when it is recalled that many
cRtarrh remedies do contain these very
Objectionable ingredients.
Next: Being in tablet form this remedy
does not deteri0rate with age or on OK
posure TO the air, as liquid preparations
Invariably do.
Next: The tablet form not only pre-
serves the medicinal properties, but It is
so far more convenient to carry and to
use at any time that II is only q question
OF time when the tablet VIII entirely SUI
persede liquid medicines. as It has al
ready done In the medical depart ment Of
the United States Army.
Next: No secret is made of the compo-
sition Of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets: they
contain the active principles of Eucalyp-
tus bark, red gum. blood root and Hy-
drsstin, all harmless antiseptics, which
however. are death TO catarrhal germs
wherever found, because Trey eliminate
them from the blood.
Next: You cannot cure catarrh by
local applications to the nose and throat,
and such treatment cannot possibly
reach the real scat Of catarrhal disease.
which Is in the blood; for this res son. in
halers. douches sprays, and powders
never really cure catarrh but simply
give temporary relief v bich a dose OF
plain salt and water viii do iuy. as we'll
Catarrh must be driven out OF the sys-
TEN, out Of the blood, by an internal
remedy because an internal remedy is the
Lii ubf fab ls Until f,s,n
the blood.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets do this better
than the old form of treatment because
they contain every safe specific known to
modern science In the antiseptic form Of
the disease.
Next The use OF inhalers, and spray
ing spparatuses, besides being ineffec-
tive and disappointing, is expensive,
while complete treatment of Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets can be had at any drug
store in the United States and Canada for
% nants.

DEATH BLOW TO

MagnateS Decide League

AGREEMENT GOOD AFTER dec. 10.
New Baseball Scheme Accordingly
Not Put to a Vote-Colonel Ro-

ton and Proves is Legality.

NEW YORK, Dec 11.-John T. Brush s
baseball trust received a knockout blow
during the days proceedings at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel While the scheme was not
put to an actual vote, the promoters OF it
soon discovered they were in the minority
and concluded to keep the document bot
tied up. for the present at least.
The Present Contract.
1t was when the question whether the
National League, as a body, would dis
solve on December 19, the date OF the eN-
piration OF the so-called ten years In
disnapolis agreement, that Brush and his
allies got a line on the situation that
sent them to the woods. Brushs conten-
tion all along has been that the National
League would die on the above date and
that a new organization would be effect
ed which would pave the way for his
trust scheme.
Accordingly. Brush offered resolution
this afternoon that was calculated to
sound the magnates. Much TO his sur
prise the vote STOOD to /, New York and
Cincinnati not voting. that the National
League would continue to live after De

Another Little Incident.
But there was another incident. when,
Just before the magnates went into ses-
sion at o'clock, A. C. Spalding walked
into The hotel. He made n speech saying
be had seen his name mentioned as a can
didate for the presidency. that 1t had
been used without authority. but that he
as personal matter, would like to have
an expression of opinion in the shape OF
a vote
This speech was followed by remarks
by Freedman, Brush. and Rogers. after
which Dreyfus made a motion that the
regular order OF business be suspended in
order to take up the election Of officers
This resolution was amended that the
election Of Spalding be made unanimous.

drawn
Inc result was deadlock, 4 TO 4, the
New York, Cincinnati. ST. Louis. and Bos-
ton clubs standing together against the
resolution on the ground that the order of
business should not be changed because
an Important report Of the board of d.
rectors had not been adopted.
Vote No Criterion.
In explaining this vote, soden, who was
chairman Of the meeting, said
''The fact that the resolution was lost
does not reflect in any way upon Mr..
spalding. You can say that under other
circumstances there would probably be a
different expression Of opinion"
After this had happened ii was the
opinion of many OF the delegates that
Spalding would surely be the next presi-
dent OF the league.

night until it was time to put out the
