cording to Attorney Douglass Of counsel
for tha accused.
II saw Mrs Bonine yesterday" said Mr..
Douglass to a Star reporter today. land
while there is some unusual depression in
her condition, there is nothing to indicate
that she is in poor health or that she is
likely to become i'll. The fact that her hus-
band was recently obliged to leave the city
allowing their children to remain here un-
cared for has worried Mrs. Bonine and the
exceedingly warm weather lately has also
been cause of discomfort to her. Aside
from these conditions, however. she is
about the same as ever. There is no cause
for alarm concerning her health, so far as
we can now see."

rRIsrRArInn RAIN.

President Power announces that the
contemplated raid OF the National
League on the players OF the Eastern
League was forestalled by the inser-
tion OF the following clause in the
Eastern League contracts OF 1901:
THE second party further agrees
that the first party shall have the OPP
tion and right to renew this contract,
with all It's terms. provisions and con
dltions for the base ball season imme-
diately succeeding the one herein pro-
vlded for. provided that a notice OF
the exercising OF such option be given
the second party by a writing address
cd TO him at his last place OF abode
prior to September 10 Of the current
year OF this contract"
Formal notice has been served on
every player by his club in accordance
with the above provlso and President
Power claims that the players so noti-
fed are legally under contract for an
other season. After the close OF the
eastern league season its players are
free to 90 where they please. but I'M
less their services are sold they must,
under their 1901 contract report to
their respective clubs next spring. ac-
cording to the contention OF Mr.. PoA
or and his associates. II is a legal
proposition that will be passed on by
the courts. The decision OF the Lajoic
case is so sweeping that layman's
faith in all contracts between clubs
and players is shaken. The Phlladel-
phia common pleas bench held that a
contract between a club and player
was not enforceable by a court OF
equity. OF what value ia contract
with player to a club II he cannot
be compelled TO give II his services
An action for damages will undoubted-
ly lie. but judgment against the aver
age ball player Is not worth the paper
II Is written on. II Is true that the
reservation clause in the Eastern
League contract is not perpetual, as
was the case In that OF LaJole. but
where Is the mutually" feature

ed lacking In the National League in

must live up to II for two years, how
ever dissatisfied he may be. Certainly
there is no mutually in such an ar
rangement.

They may have a good appetite and
not feel III physically, And herein lies
their greatest danger, for they per-
suade themselves that all they need
is a nerve tonic OF some sort. or a lit
tie stimulant. and they dose themselves
with various advertised remedies. one

There may be no evident symptoms OF

but the intestines. where the assim-

effected. are at fault.
The food is not elaborated into such
shape that II cab be taken up by the

Furthermore. the imperfect intes'

INcREAsr woULDN'r PAY.

The protest OF President sexton
against the proposed increase OF the
salary limit OF the Indiana
Illinois League is well grounded
Patrons have been given good ball
and almost all the clubs have made
money under the conditions which ex-
listed during the present season. The
league is prosperous, why should II
not be made permanent Its future
will be jeopardizod II the limit the
players are paid is raised. II Is prob
able that the stars will be missing
next season, but the rank and file OF
the players will remain with their
respective clubs and there ia plenty OF
promising talent ripe for development
The people want to see well-matched
teams in well-played and well-con-
Quoted games. An excessive salary
limit viii give the larger cities an adj
vantage which will bring about the
bankruptcy OF the clubs In the smaller
communities. Civil pride plays an Inn
portant part in minor league affairs
and often leads TO the carrying of a
heavier financial burden than tho re-
ceipts OF club justihes. President
Sexton is right and those who have CO.
operated with him in reviving base
ball in the field that was practically
abandoned should heed the warning
that he gives. AS was to be expected,
there were mistakes and dlSappoint-
ments this year. but none so serious as
TO threaten the life OF the league. Ev-
ansville. for instance. made a wretched
start. but the clubs patrons were loyal
and now they have n team that In a
