WINTER MEAT EATING.
The Poor Stomach's Tale of Woe
just Now NIi-o-na Is Needed.

At this season of the year thous-
ands of people are already showing
| the i'll symptoms that are sure to re-
suit from the usual winter diet. In
door life, intoxicating, hearty food,
lack of exercise, overwork, and poor
ventilation spell sickness and poor
health.
If the stomach cannot do its work
properly, i'll health is sure to follow

If the digestion is impaired, the

sickness and suffering. Mi-o-na, act

absolutely necessary to have double
this amount.
There is another feature to Mr.
Johnson's proposition to which I de-
sire to call attention, and that is from
a players standpoint. After the six
teen major league clubs had once gone
to the limit in their drafts and pur-
chase of players-say "a or so players
there might be a dozen players left
IN the national association who were
better than either one of those secured,
yet they could not be advanced in their
profession because a limitation had
been placed on the number to be pur-
chased and drafted. Would this not
be in direct violation of that preamble
in the agreement which provides:
Promotion of the welfare of ball play
ers as a class by developing and per-
fecting them in their profession. and
enabling them to secure adequate COM
pensation for expertness?
81 believe the proposition of the ma
tional association, taken together with
the other amendments to the agree
ment to which they accede, would give
much better results.
1.-THE drafting section seems to be
the only one over which there is any
difference of opinion, and this differ
ence is based on two points:
l. That the price asked is too high
%. That it limits the number of
players to be drafted from certain
classes to one instead of two
while it is true that the new draft
ing price as proposed is double to that
now existing, it must be borne in mind
that nothing is to be paid until the

would not be a surprise to see one or
two more before the season opens, but
reports of trades so far seem to be
premature.
| st. Louis fans would have liked to
have seen Jimmy Sheckard in the out
field at League park, but the deal
seems to have been blocked, if it ever
was given consideration. Sheckard
had a bad season last year, but he is
Il good ball player, and it was probably
only a temporary slump Last sea-
son it was the Cardinal Outfield which
caused the most trouble, and young
sters viii have to be depended upon
to remedy this during the coming sea-
son. Shannon is the only one of the
present outfield that has shown the
batting strength to be expected from
an outfielder. Smoot slumped badly,
both in batting and neIdIng, but he
may come back again.
At the end of last season there was
talk of sending Brain to the outfield,
and this looked like good move at
the time. Affairs of the club have
since taken a turn which changes mat
terS, however Brain is now talked of
as the probable captain of the team,
and as such he would undoubtedly
play third base. Shay's refusal to sign
a contract has still further compli-

Garry Herman. chairman of the
national commission, says concerning
his rejection of Ban JOhnson's draft
ing scheme in the revised national
agreement, which is to be submitted to
the leagues for ratification at the
spring meeting:
Il believe that every person who
listened to the various arguments and
statements made by the representa-
tives of the national ASSOCIATION, as
well as those of the two major leagues,
at the recent meetings of the commits
sion, will admit that the greatest evil
under the present agreement is the So
called covering up of players, through
hde transactions.

effort of all the parties Interested.

Good Billiards at Chicago.

Chicago, Feb. 1.-The best game OF
billiards SO far in the tournament of

But in addition to this the so-calIed
fake sales are wiped out by an
amendment to the agreement which
prohibits the sale of minor league
players for prospective use until after
the drafting season has been closed.

league clubs will be enabled to draft

to speak-and will not be confined in
their drafts to those players who have
