MAY HANDICAP THE PITCHER
League Magnates Reported to Be Con-
sidering a Three Ball Rule.

Chicago, Jan. 22.-Charley Nichols.
who is to be the manager of the reor-
ganized Cardinal team the coming year
is out in statement that he believes
that the joint rules committee of the
American and National leagues will
decide to handicap the pitcher this
coming season with a new rule, cut
ting down the number of balls to en-
title a batter to a base from four to
three.
Il am unable to give the source of
my information, but I have it pretty
straight that the big fellows are urging
the three-ball rule as a halfway COM
promise on the foul strike rule" said
he.
The three-ball rule was a suggestion
made by President James A. Hart last
fall when the controversy about the
foul-stril1e rule was resurrected. The
local magnate, who has had more to
do with the framing of the present
laws governing baseball than any other
man in the game today, believes that
the pitchers should be Handicapped a
little rather than abolish the foul
strike rule.
J. F. Kilfoyle. president of the Cleve-
land club, was a Visitor at baseball
headquarters yesterday, but kept the
nature of his business here a secret.
He was in close conference with Man
ager Griffith for a good part of the
forenoon and left during the day for
the west. His destination was not an
nounced. Hector Clemmes, the Wash
ington stakeholder. is spending this
week here on business, but has some
time left for baseball talk.

THEY ACTUALLY
DO THE WORK.
Food Eaten is Worthless Unless Di-
gested - Some Stomachs Must
Have Help.

Food taken into the stomach which.
from the nature of the food or the con-
dition of the stomach, is not dlgeSted,
is worse than no food at all. This is a
tr,1e statement as far as it goes. and a
great many dyspeDtics go only this far
with their reasoning. They argue with
themselves that because their stomachS
do not do the work given them. they
must be given less work: in other
words they must be starved. 1t would
he lust as sensible for a business man
who is unable to do all his own work
to cut down his business to his own
capacity as it is for man to starve
himself to relieve his stomach. The
sensible business man employs help
and goes forward with his business.
Likewise the sensible dysoeptic will
employ help for his stomach and give
his body proper nourishment.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually
do the work assigned to them They
relieve weak and oVerburdened stom-
achs of a great portion of digestive
action Their component parts are
identical with those of the digestive
fluids and secretions of the stomach.
and they simply take up the grind and
carry on the work 1ust the same as a
good. strong, healthy stomach would
do 1t.
ON this account Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are perfectly natural in their
action and effects. They do not cause
any unnatural or violent disturbance in
the stomach or bowels. They them
selves digest the food and supply the
system with all the nourishment con-
tanned in what is eaten ana carry out
Natures plans for the sustenance and
maintenance of the body.
How much more sensible is this
method than that employed by many
sufferers from weak stomachs. BY this
means the body and brain get all the
good, nutritious food they need and
the man is properly nourished and
equipped to carry on his work and per
form his duties. He could not possibly
be in proper working condition by
starving himself or employing some
new tangled, insufficient food that does
not contain enough nutriment for a
year-old baby. A strong man doing
strong work must be. properly fed, and
this applies to the brain as well as the
BODY.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets by reliev-
ing the stomach of it's work. enable it
to recuperate and regain its normal
health and strength. Nature repairs
the worn and wasted tissues just as she
heals and knits the bone of a broken
limb, which is of course not used dur
ing the process of repair.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists at 80 cents box.
and they are the one article that the
druggist does not try to sell something
in the place of that's Just as good.
Their UNQUALIFIED merit and success and
the universal demand for them has
placed them within the reach of every
one.

GEAR AS BASEBALL COACH.
z. q. Is After the Old Jayhawkel
Pitcher to Handle Candidates.

Lawrence, Kan. Jan. 22.-Manager
Plank has been authorized by the ath-
letic board to make a trip to Chicago
and to the seats of several other uni
versities to attempt to secure some good
games for next seasons football team.
The management is not meeting with
very great success in arranging games
with big teams for next season, and the
board thought that it would be well to
send a representative to conduct nego-
tiations in person. Chicago will be the
first place visited but the trip may also
include calls at Indiana, Ohio, Illinois
and Iowa universities. On this trip Mr..
Plank will not seek football dates alone,
but will also keep next springs baseball
schedule in mindand will help that out
all he can.
Kansas has asked for games of foot
ball for next season with Iowa, Illinois
and Chicago, and none of the institu
lions has absolutely refused the date,
but all have failed to give any definite
reply, and it is thought that the trip
may have the effect of bringing these
institutions around. Until some big
games are secured the work of making
out a football schedule for next season
is necessarily at a standstill and it is
getting pretty late already to fill up
schedule to the best advantage.
The board decided to try to secure the
services of Dale Gear as coach of the
baseball team here next spring. Gear
is an old Kansas university student and
is we'll known here. 1t is not known how
successful the attempt to secure him
will prove. The Kansas baseball team
has always been very much in need of
coach, and if Gear would take charge
Of the squad for a few weeks he could
do a great deal of good. What Kansas
has been very weak on is batting, base
running and team work on the infield.
There is about as much need for a
coach in baseball as there is in football,
although few of the western schools pay
much attention to securing them.

club would give that amount, with the
privilege of so per cent of the gross re-
ceipts. Hertz denies the report that he
has secured the old American club
arena on Thirty-first street, and says
he does not intend to re-enter the box
ing game as a promoter. He is prac-
tically out of the game, as his business
takes up all his time.

Death of Apostle Woodruff.

While returning home from the
funeral of his wife in the City of
Mexico, Apostle Abraham Owen
Woodruff of the Mormon church,
died of smallpox at Ell Paso, Tex,
Monday night. Mrs. Woodruff died
of smallpox about two weeks ago.
Her husband had hurried to the
Mexican capital when informed OF
his wife's illness and was with her
to the end. Believing full precau-
tions had been taken to prevent his
contracting the disease, he started
for his home in Salt Lake.
He was i'll when he arrived at FL
Paso about ten days ago and stopped
to recuperate. A physician pro-
nounced his case one of typhoid and
he was given treatment for typhoid,
when it developed that he had
smallpox. He was at once removed
to the isolation hospital at Ell Paso.
His case did not appear to be a
severe one and there was every IN
dicatlon that he would soon recover.
He ate a hearty breakfast Monday
morning and was thought to have
reached the convalescent stage, when
he suddenly became worse and
passed away Monday night, the
direct cause of death being heart
failure.
News of the death reached Salt
Lake in the form Of telegram to
President John r. Winder from A.
