OLD LEAGUE IS
COURT|NG TROUBLE
Lengthening Of Playing Season Like
ly To Meet Determined Opposition
From Organizations Employees.

CHICAGO. Dec, 23.-If the Nations
League magnates decide year FROM
now TO continue their policy OF play
ing los game schedule. II IL predict
ed today that they will have fine
players strike on their hands.
Indications OF discomfort are already
being shown here by players who have
not yet signed up for the season ot
1910. The management OF the Chi
cago Cubs has no fears. as practical
ly all the players have already sign
ed up. Other clubs however will not
be 80 fortunate. IL is predicted the
number OF hold-outs will be greatly in
creased before the 1910 season opens.
II is believed.
The players object especially to tho
double-header games. They take the
ground that the fact that the season
must begin SO early makes IL almost
certain that many early games will
have 10 be postponed on account OF
the weather. This will increase TO at
least % the number of double headers
that will have TO be played later on.
Players also foresee that they will be
compelled to play from 10 to Is double
headers in the last few weeks OF the
season just at the time when they
ought 10 be reserving their strength.

York after Boston had passed on the
charges against these persons.
The real feeling OF the trustees is
that Boston is trying to make a black
sheep of Mrs. Stetson. They are forth
flying themselves with evidence to sup
port this view and have collected data
to prove that her teachings on subjects
too risky for clear statement in books
We're taught to her by Mrs. Eddy.
When lessons dealt with the various
phases of demonology they needed to ne
handled so as not to shock studenls
or bring public discredit on the belief,
is the Boston view. 1t is said The idea
was that these lessons should be taught
by gradual approach and not ofr-hand
or by plain speech, as was Mrs. stet-
sons habit.
The local trustees have been weigh
ing the consequences of possible sepa-
ration from the Boston control as bear
ing not only the fortunes of the local
church, but on its influence on the
church at large.

Elgin, ILL.,, Oct. 2O.-Speaker Joseph
G.. Cannon opened fire on the republi-
can insurgents last evening in an ad-
dress before the Illinois Mayors Asso-
citation at the Elgin Opera House.
Senator Cummins, of Iowa, and Sen
ator La Toilette. Of Wisconsin, and
their followers were read out of the
party. Speaker Cannon defended him
self against the charges of car rule
and branded as false the report that
six of the. Illinois representatives, will
join the revolt against him. Vigorous
denial was made of the assertion that
his election as speaker was brought
about thru a deal with Tammany. w.
j. Bryan was dealt with in blistering
terms and was declared to be two-faced
in his attitude on the house rules.
Representa- tive Fowler, of New Jer-
sey, who recently attacked the speaker
came in for incidental mention. Mr.
Fowler's refusal to report to the house
the emergency currency measure was
given by intimation as the reason for
dropping him as chairman of the cur
rency and banking committee.
The new tariff act was characterized
as the best ever passed in the history
of the country. Speaker Cannon spoke
for nearly two hours, devoting his en-
tire time to subjects relating to con-
gress. More than 1000 people were In
the audience.
II was over In Iowa last week and
found that it is an open secret there
that Senator Cummins not only pro-
poses to join hands with Bryan, but he
says the agitation will not stop and he
will appeal to the peaple until the tarif
is revised according to his notion,
