supervision of Coach Reynolds, of Yale,

Chronic Diar. hoea of Nine

the Use of Mrs. joe

For nine long years 1 suffered from
chronic diarrhoea, which weakened me
down greatly. My weight went from 1872
pounds to 81. l got so I could not do
any work, but could sit up little. For
twelve months 1 lived on sweet milk and
bread. If 1 ate anything else it would
start the bowels to troubling me, from
four to ten times a day. My doctor said
1 would never get well; l might get bet
ter but my bowels would always be my
weak point that would cause me trouble
when 1 would take cold. Seeing Mrs.
Persons advertisement on the South Bos-
ton bridge, / wrote to her and stated my
case. She said she did not think there
was any doubt of her Remedy curing me.
1 commenced it and soon I could eat and
drink anything 1 wanted, except butter
milk 1 took % bottles, which made a
perfect cure of me, and I gradually re-
gained my weight until l again weighed

since I was cured, and I am now perfect

a bowel trouble which nothing would
reach. He was born in May and in July
he had a bad boil which he suffered from
for six months. didn't know Mrs. Per-
sons Remedy could be used on so young
baby, so I wrote to her. She advised its
use. Before he had taken a bottle the
bowel trouble was cured and also the
boil, which the doctor said threatened to
be serious trouble as it was so obstinate
and lasted so long.

MAJOR LEAGUES AGREE
ON OPENING DATE
J, 4. Hart and Robert Nc
Roy Confer on Schedule.

CHICAGO, Jan. 3E-The first sequel to
the ratification of the peace compact
between the American and National
Baseball Leagues came yesterday after
noon. when Robert Mercy. secretary to
Ban r. johnson. president Of the Ame-i-
can League, conferred with James A..
Hart. president of the Chicago Club of
the National League. regarding the
schedule Of games
1t had been expected that Mr.. John
son himself would appear at baseball
headquarters yesterday afternoon and
confer with the local National League
magnate. but he was too i'll, and notified
AGcRov,. to talk with Hart. The Ameri-
can league president is anxious to nave
the schedule drafted before the meeting
Of the American League at New York
next month.
Secretary Mercy was in conference
with President Hart for more than an
hour. Hart is a member Of the sched-
uIe committee, but ne failed to make any
pledges .lecting the schedule pending
consultation with Barney Dreyfus, Of
the Pfttsburg Club. who is chairman Of
the schedule committee Hart. however,
agreed with McROy that the National
League should be willing to open the
season on or about April y.
Mr. Hart was in favor Of an intercity
series of games in the spring and also in
the fall He was in favor also Of having
the two leagues play a series Of 40
games during the regular schedule.
Neither Mercy nor Hart cared to dis
cuss the result Of the conference, but
it is understood that such progress vas
made that the American League presI-
dent, with the aid of Mercy. viii Iraft

zation today

FIGURES SHOWING EFFECT
OF FOUL-STRIKE RULE
Last Records Prove Why 1t
Should Be Wiped Out.

Taking the official averages of the Ma
tionaI League for 1901 and Of the Amer
lean League for 1902 as basis, it will
be found that the foul-strike rule did
not play such an important part in the
ork Of the swat artists. The dope on
thirty players who were in National
company last year, and in American So
ciety during the past season, show col
lective gains of 4s3 points and losses
OF 522 in the aggregate Fourteen play
ers increased their batting averages over
the 1901 mark. and five pitchers, who
are recognized as the erratics of the
sticking brigade, piled up 329 Of the
49, leaving 143 points dividend to be
distributed among the other nine. Ed
Delehanty, who was second IN the Ma
tionaI League in 1901. captured the slug
ging honoTs in the American. Such old
time good hustIers as Tom DAILY, George
Davis. Ed Mcfarland. Elmer Flick, Bob
by Wallace. Deacon Mcclure, and Topsy
Eart5el cannot make any claim that the
return to The old rule Of straight strikes
no fouls to Count-perceptibLy cleared
their batting eyes, for that squad lost
a chunk of 362 points. One pitcher,
Jack Townsend, monopoIized nearly one
third OF The total gain No student Of
the dope who gazed at this winters
layout could put up much OF an argument
against the fouI-strike rule as a factor
in the shrinkage of batting averages.
These are the figures for the two sea
sons:
