Whittet Wins by Sc Votes.

The primary contest for the nomina-
tion of assemblyman in this district was
the hardest fought battle of the CAM
paign. Friends of both the local candi-
dates were active in furthering their in
terests with the result that large vote
was brought out in Edgerton, Evans
Vile, Milton and a few of the townships.
That Mr.. Whittet won is largely due to
the fact that he is popular and made a
dignifed, clean campaign. Two years
ago rmGettle was beaten by Mr.. Baker
by Al votes and this year by SO. The
following is the detailed vote of the dis
trict.

Prof. Karl Won Noorden, in an open
letter published in a Berlin paper, defends
his position on the coholi question,
which was not clear to some of the physi-
clans who heard his lectures on the prin-
ciples of nutrition. He says that he has
called attention repeatedly to the injury
wrought by alcohol. Especially did /
warn equity subjects against the use Of
the smallest quantity" he adds. He does
not share, however, the opinion of those
neople who believe that alcohol should
be banished from the sick chamber.

Waiber Rule Patched Ub
 M the WajoY Companies

Cincinnati, September 2-It was an- nounced by the national baseball commits sion today that the rule regarding waiv- CTS by major league clubs for purchased minor league players had been amended at the meeting of the commission in this city yesterday. The rule, which is num- bered 35, was amended by striking out the words land has played at least 10 games with such club" at the end of the first sentence of said rule. Hereafter the rule will read as follows:
 Tn order to avoid friction in the oper- ation of rule 35, no waivers shall be asked by any major league club for purchased minor league players previous to Feb ruary 1 of the year following such pur- chase, except where the player purchased is for immediate use and joins the pur- chasing club, and has been under con- tract for at least 10 days and participated in at least one game with such club. When a major league club asks for waiver to a purchased minor league play CT, the president of the league containing such club shall immediately notify by wire the president of the opposite league, and the president of the opposite league shall be required within three days or I2 hours, to either waive claim to such

player or negotiate for his services for the particular club in his league desiring the same under the provisions of rule S5; the claim, however of any club in the league seeking the waiver to have pref erenee over the claim of any club in the opposite league.
 'The time limit within which inter league waivers can be exercised may be designated as running from the time of the filing of the telegram at the tele- graph office in the city of the headquar ters of the respective major leagues. with this proviso, that the telegrams received on Sunday or legal holiday, or after o'clock Saturday, shall be considered as received on the following Monday at o'clock, and that where the time limit expires on Sunday or a legal holiday 1t shall be extended until the following day, or the following Monday"
 The commission also passed on the cases of Players Grant and Doolin of the Phila- delphia National League club, who played with the Jersey City club in an exhibition game in Jersey City during this season and fined the Philadelphia club $50 for al- lowing these players to take part in the game It appears that the players played with Jersey City with the consent of their club. and as the club assumed all re- sponsibility the players themselves were not penalzed, but a fine was imposed on the club management.

Atlanta, September 2-(Special.)-The nervest football proposition in the south this year is the Clemson football team of Clemson, S. C..
 Last year at the end of a lusty rough house, the Clemson athletic authorities took a half day off and fired 304 men.
 Such a wholesale performance would cut quite gap in 8 big college, but at a small one like Clemson it cleaned the place pretty well out.
 And what 1t did to the prospective foot ball team of 1908 was a regular caution.
 And what made it worse was the fact that Clemson had previously mapped out a schedule for this fall which included games with Vanderbilt, V. P. l., David son, University of Georgia, University of Tennessee and Georgia Tech
 Here is what has happened to the Clemson football team since it ended its season last fall by defeating Tech:
 Allen, Clark and Britt dismissed during the wholesale job of April.
 McFadden and Wyndham suspended soon after the close of the football sea- son, one for breach of confinement and the other for hazing.
 Gaston left early in the session.

Clemson Has Poor Team
 BHt VeYy Hard Schedule

Caughman, Cannon, Warren and Lee graduated in June.
 The only members of last years team who will be back are Fleming, guard; Coles, end; Robbs, fullbaclk; odom, sub stitute tackle. Coles is captain.
 W. M. Riggs, president of the Clemson Athletic association, says:
 "I do not know by name what material is left of the 125 men of last years crop who will be in college this fall. We have asked no concessions from the s. I. A A. in regard to using first year n.en and 1t is probable that we shall not do so. We have determined to do the best with what is available, play out our schedule in as creditable a manner as possible and hope for better things in years to come. I believe that the harder the schedule the more quickly we will develop a team that will bring back our former prestige"
 Here Is the schedule that the Clem- son team will go against this fall:
 October 3-Open.
 October 10-V. P. l. at Clemson
 October 17-Vanderbilt at Nashville
 October 2S-Davidson college in Colum- ba.
 November 5-University of Georgia in Augusta.
 November 14-University of Tennessee in Knoxville.
