ssSpeaks Out in Meeting

President Of the Western Association
s'Speaks Out in AIeetng.'
New York. Dec. 14.-The National asso-
citation convened in special session at the
stated that the meeting was called at the
solicitation Of about 20 of the minor
leagues. No business of any great I'M
portance was transacted but the IouIlQa-
ton for a lively session was built me
time was devoted to the discussion OF the
question Of an income in the draft process
for minor leagues and a committee com
posed of Doe Shively, president OF the
western association; j. h Farrell, presl-
dent of the New York league and Secfe-
tary of the National association and W
H. Watkins, president Of the Mtnneapoils
club, was appointed TO wait upon ian

today, when it will meet with Ban john

and Garry Hermann. the National
leagues commissioner.
1t is probable that the draft price viii
be advanced for all minors Class A viii
per man and the draft decreased TO one

price of $3.50 per man and G and y viii get

A great fight has developed IN the Ma
tonal association against George Tebeau
and Howard Griffith, who for the past
board. The classes below a are well rep
resented and they are pushing a relent-
less war against these two. The baltic
grew so warm that the friends Of Tebeau
and Griffith conceived the idea Of stand
ing upon their constitutional rights and
urging that this is not the annual meet
ing. Doc" ShiVely of Kansas City is
leading the fight against Tebeau and
Grimiths and he has been in the center OF
the caucuses. He is backed up sOlidly by
every league below class A, but the con-
sutution is so constructed that he is
working under difficulties and may not be
able to accomplish his end here. How
ever he has sprung quite a surprise on
the Tebeau faction and have made them
seek the remotest chance for future pres
tge.
An effort win be made today by Shively
and his following to declare this the reg
ular annual meeting and if they succeed
it means a defeat for Tebeau. If they fail
q compromise to a meeting in Chicago
next month is the only thing that will
prevent a rupture in the National asSo-
citation. If all parties agree. it may be
that the. meeting VIII go over to January
8 at Chicago. If not, it is probable that
Class A leagues, at least the American
association and the Eastern and Western
leagues. viii walk out and make an eff
fort to go it alone. If they do the Ma
uonal organization will be reOrganized
without their cooperation.

New York, Dec 14.--Harry @. Pull
liam has been reelected president,
secretary and treasurer OF the Ma
tfonal League Of Baseball Clubs James
A. Hart, the retiring president of the
Chicago club, was placed IN nomlna-
ton against Mr.. Pulliam by John L
Brush, president of the New York
club, but declined to run. Despite this
fact two votes were cast for Mr.. Hart
one by Mr.. Brush and one by aug
Herman of the Cincinnati club, IL was
unoficially stated, The casting OF
these ballots for Mr.. Hart in oppOsi-
ton to his expressed wishes led to the
introduction of a resolution declaring
cit is the sense Of this meeting that
James A. Hart, who was rendered a
complimentary vote for president, sec
rotary and treasurer, was in no respect
a candidate" The unanimous adOp-
ton of this resolution practically made
the selection of Mr.. Pulliam unani-
nous.
Barney Dreyfuss of Pittsburg nomi-
mated Mr.. Pulliam, Messrs. Shettsltne
of Philadelphia, Ebbetts of Brooklyn
and Murphy Of Chicago seconding.
There was no second to the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Hart, who had made a
speech declaring that under no cir
cumstanees would he oppose Mr. Pull
liam.
After the constitution had been
amended so as to provide for five di-
rectOrs instead of four and eliminating
the geographical QuaIlncauOuS-IVV o
from the east and two from the west
the following directors were chosen:
Messrs. A. H. Soden of Boston, Barney
Dreyfus of Pittsburg, Charles H. Eb-
belts OF Brooklyn, w. J. Shettsline of
Philadelphia and Charles w Murphy
of Chicago. The old board consisted
of Messrs. Dreyfus, Brush, Hart and
SOden.
Messrs. Brush, Hermann and Eb-
belts were reappointed a committee on
constitution and A1essrs. Hanlon, Drey-
fus and Murphy were named as the
committee on playing rules. The ques-
ton of having uniform tickets of adj
mission was referred to a committee.
At the meeting of the National AS
ISOLATION of Minor Leagues the only
business of moment transacted was the
appointment of a committee consisting
of Messrs. Watkins, Farrell and
Shiveley to confer with the higher or
CARNATIONS relative to the one-man
drafting system. This committee ap-
peared at the meeting of the National
league and requested that a committee
be appointed by that body to consult
with them and Ban Johnson, who had
previously been appointed for that
purpose by the American league.
Mr.. Hermann was named to repre-
sent the National league.

HANLoN's BATTLE WITH A FISH
Los Angeles Fighter Has a Desperate
LOSING Eight ON Coast.

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. fiddle
Hanlon was beaten in a great battle
this week, but it was not a fighter who
turned the scales against the little box
er. It was a monster Jewish weighing
at least 800 pounds. The struggle last
ed for an hour and a half and Hanlon
called loudly for help. But when as
sistance came the fish had so much the
better OF the argument that he won.
Hanlon was badly disappointed at not
getting him and his friends foresee an
unluclxy sign in this, as Herman, his
opponent of Friday night, is a Jew.
Both boys are in fine shape for the
contest. Hanlon continues to be a
slight favorite, but when Herman s
race track friends start betting there
may be a change.

The time WILL COME
When the Advice of This
Johnson City Resident
Will Help You.

Very few people are entirely free
from backache. 1t does not take much
to derange the kidneys. A little cold,
a strain stopping position or hard work
overtaxes those delicate organs and
many aches and pains promptly follow.
A Johnson City citizen tells you here
how every kidney i'll can be relieved
and cured. Read about it.
Officer I, NJ. Wilson says: II have
for long time been sufferer from
backache and other forms of kidney
disorders. For the most of the time
the symptoms consisted of dull ach-
ing pain in the small of my back, very
noticeable whenever I stopped or bent
over, and if took slight cold it al
ways settled in my back, increasing
the pain. Doan's Kidney Pills come
to my notice and / got box at the
store of the Patton Drug Co. They
did their work we'll and the good eff
fects were soon apparent. 1t was only

PURE FOOD
Pure Whisky and the Bad
Effects of Impure Whisky.

Unless the rectifiers are too strong,
the present session of Congress is GO
ing to pass Pure Food" bill, and
include whiskey. If they do, and these
retifers are forced to put the cross
bones and skull on their product, no
man will be foolish enough to buy it,
although they do now, and some with
the knowledge that it is not the genu-
inc article.
Who is to blame for the sale Of this
poisonous stuff? None, but the con-
sumner himself. There are two reasons
for this: Some want whiskey that
tastes pleasant; others want it cheap.
To the first, they should know that 100
per cent. is standard for pure liquor,
and that 100 per cont. or proof whiskey
will not drink as pleasant as water.
The Indians call it Fire Water" This
was before our forefathers knew any
thing about the new way of making
imitation whiskey. 1t was all pure
then, consequently it was all hot, 90 it
is today when it is pure. To the Sec
ond, the tax of $l.00 on every gallon Of
100 per cent. alcohol is alone sufficient
to make any whiskey cost more than
some want to pay tor it, and when
whiskey is sold cheap it is sold mean,
that is when it is sold below the posi-
BILE cost of production.
Whiskey bought at 100 per cent. al
cohol may be too strong for most peo-
pie, but they always have the privilege
in buying pure whiskey of adding
water to suit their taste, and not pay
ing from so to SO for water, which Is
usually plentiful most everywhere.
