A NEW SCHEDULE
Baseball Men Favor Shortening
of Number of Games in
Home Series.
STAND BY THE BUFFALO RULES
Move for Uniformity i'm All Matters
Throughout the
League.

The Three-I league directors COM
| pleted their deliberations about &
o'clock last evening and all of them
at once left for their homes. y great
amount and variety of business was
attended To ana unless something un-
forseen occurs il will not he neces-
"ary to hold another meeting before
the opening of the season. The only
matters left open were the schedule.
which was rejected. and Il new one
ordered drafted, and the arranging
of railroad rates, which was left with
President Sexton.
The schedule was taken up immedi-
atcly upon assembling at i'm the af-
ternOon. In arranging the one that
had been submitted the period of
each team i'm the home series was u
days. There was general objection
to this on the ground that the loss of
interest in the different towns would
be greater than the saving effected i'm
railroad fare by reason of the shorter
mileage, and it was finally voted to
refer the matter back to President
Sexton and j. +. Hayes. of Davenport,
To arrange. with +. {. Lander. of
Rockford. to draft new one. The
feature i'm the old one providing for
the playing of all holiday games by
the same teams was approved and will
probably be incorporated in the next
one.
Buffalo Rules Endorsed
The rules as adopted at the Buffalo
conference were indorsed. by which
act the Threc-I league renews it's al
legiance to the National association
of minor leagues and the committee
which met i'm conference. Another
resolution was passed specifying the
town which captures the pennant dur
ing this season as the place of hold |
ing the November meeting and requir-
ing the club of that place to give
banquet To the delegates.
\ number of details were decided
upon with view of securing uni /
formity throughout the league. Each
club is to furnish Il band for the
opening day at home. All tickets and
passes will pass through the hands |
Of the president. The regular tickets

Brain-FOOd NOnsense.

Another ridiculous fad has been
branded by the most competent au-
thorities. They have dispelled the
silly notion that one kind OF food is
needed for brain, another for muscles,
and still another for bones. A cor
rect diet will not only nourish a par
ticular part OF the body, but it will
sustain every other part. Yet, how
ever good your food may be, its nutri.
ment is destroyed by indigestion or
dyspepsia. You must prepare for
their appearance or prevent their COM
