Harvard at the present time; and that.

the college world have been able to
score against Princeton, while none
has vet tailed against the blue. the

Though winning over Carlisle, Pennsy
is credited with being outplayed all
the way. Columbia and Cornell have
shown too consistent a weakness to

Nfagnates Said to Be in Favor of a
POst-Season Interchange.
New York, Nov. baseball magnates
have a plan on foot which promises to
settle annually the relative strength Of
the clubs in the two major leagues as
well as filling the box Office Golfers un-
to bursting.
The plan proposes to cut the regular
schedules in both leagues a month or
six weeks and take up the remaining
playing time between the clubs of both
organizations in post-season games.
Every club is to play all the clubs in
their rival league four games, two at
home and two abroad, and then the
pennant winners will play for the
worlds championship. Ban johnson
and Garry Hermann are both behind
the scheme and it is very likely that
the scheme will be adopted at the De-
cember conference.

A great many people suffer more

than at any other season of the year.
the changes in weather seeming to
have a bad effect upon the disease.
Some of the cures made by Hyomei
seem marvellous when one remembers
that the patients had suffered from
catarrh since childhood and that for
years they had been unable to get q
good nights sleep, on account of the
disagreeable tickling and dropping at
the back Of the throat caused by this
offensive disease. A few days treat
ment with Hyomei brought quick re-
lief, and its continued use made a
complete and lasting cure.
BY breathing Hyomei through the

every outfit, all the air passages Of
the lungs and throat are filled with
air laden with Natures own remedies
for the cure of catarrh. All disease

Cans present standing in the pugilis-

recently lost considerable prestige. It
is generally the opinion of close observ-
