Their stimulating foods, unless their

an their choice and combinations Of
foods by the physicians OF the insti-

disposal Of the patients Tea, coffee,
and flesh foods are not found on the
sanitarium tables. but their place is
supplied with healthful foods, which
are made SO inviting that those foods

responsible for the disease from which
the patients suffer, are no longer de-

CHARLES COMTSKEY HAS
PLAN TO STOP KICKING

Chicago. July I4-CharIes Comiskey.
Of the White sox. yesterday suggested a
way TO lessen the wrangling with UNI
pires and the punishment OF ball players
for kicking
His suggestion IS TO compel club own
ers 10 send their captains OF managers.
or both. TO q meeting at which all the
unpires OF a league also must be pres
ent before the opening Of each season. At
such a session the playing rules could be
taken Up n detail and q uniform inter
probation agreed upon by the umpires- In
addition, the umpires could make known
any and all Instructions they had re-
ceived regarding the Interpretation or en-
forcement Of the rules This, the ''Sox-'
magnate believes. would insure a thor
ough understanding by everybody con
cerned Of Just what could or could not
be done, and Just how a rule OF play was
TO be interpreted.
7 would be willing" said the ''sox''
president. "to pay the expenses Of my
manager, or captain. or both. to a con-
ference with the other team leaders and
the umpires for the purpose Of going

ing Of the rules. The meanings Of many
are not plain. and authorities differ as to
their interpretations sometimes. Often 2
player or manager thinks he is getting
the worst Of it from an umpire. when. II

pire made a decision contrary to the in
depreciation agreed upon in the spring.
the manager would have the Official rec
ord Of that conference to base a protest
upon Not only would -disagreements over
rules be Iessened. but there would be bet
ter feeling and understanding all around.
This would have nothing 20 do with
the question OF Judgment on close de-
cisions Of simple plays. There is no way
to make a player and umpire look at
those decisions the same way. but it is
my contention the most serious troubles
grow out Of the players belief that the
uulpires are misinterpretinz the rules. or
interpreting them one way for one club
and another for another The kicking
over close decisions alone would occasion
