SPORTINGC COMMENT
BY T. D. BONNEVILLE.

at present, the presidents give their
umpires instructions that differ ma
terialiy and become confusing to the
players and to the public. This Is
especially the case in cities where
clubs of different leagues are located,
as in New York and st. Louis.
The new National League president,
Lynch, has announced that 1t Is hts
intention To dfsfniss anyone nj his UNI
fires at any time for Incompetence or
misconduct In order to do no In
justice to hts arhiters, President Lynch
viii be constantly on the circuit to
make a personal inspection of the
work of the men. This viii put him
In a position to rely on his own judy
ment in making decisions and to turn
deaf ear to the protests of club
owners, the criticisms OF writer's and
the claims of interested parties.
1t In well known that President Taft
IL a genuine baseball fan, and he has
recently given evidence that he is a
lover OF all clean sports. He has rec
commended to Congress an appropria-
ton of $4,000 to enable the United
States to participate in the First In
national Sporting and Field Sport
Exposition, to be held in Vienna in
May of this year. An invitation to
take part In the exposition has been
extended to this country by the Gov
ernmcnt of Austro- Hungary.
The decision not to change the rules
relative to passed balls and Wild
pitches has met with general satisfac-
ton in baseball circles. The pitcher
and catcher take hundred chances
catching done and for the good balls
pitched the pitcher and catcher get
no credit In the fielding averages. II
can be seen that in view of this. II
would not be right to charge them
with errors for wild heave or a pass
ed ball.
Baseball ID becoming the Cuban ma
tional game 1t Is said that the Ha-
vana crowds rival those of the larger
cities t,f the United States, the attend
ance frequently reaching the $4,000
mark. The Cuban players are rapidly
advancing In proficiency, and they
promise to develop during the next
few seasons to such an extent as -
rival the American stars. They lack
development in batting. but are ex-
trcnely fast In the field and on the
bases A picked team of Cuhans are

A GOOD CHANGE
A Change of Food Works Wonders

The wrong food and drink causes q
lot of trouble in this world. To
change the food is the first duty of
every person that is i'll, particularly
from stomach and nervous troubles.
AS an Illustration: A lady in Mo. has,
with her husband, been brought around
to health again by leaving of coffee
and some articles of food that did
not agree with them. They began us
ing Postum and Grape-Nuts food. She
says:
For a number of years I suffered
with stomach and bowel trouble
which kept getting worse unutil was
very i'll most of the time. About four
years ago I left of coffee and began
taking Postum. My stomach and
bowels improved right along. but l was
so reduced in flesh and so nervous that
the least thing would overcome me.
Then I changed my food and be-
gan using Grape-Nuts in addition to
Postum. I lived on these two prin-
cipally for about four months. Day
by day / gained in flesh and strength
unit, now the nervous trouble has en-
tireiy disappeared and l feel that I
owe M life and health to Postum and
Grape-Nuts.
Husband is 73 years old and he was
troubled for a long time with occa-
sIonal cramps, and slept badly. Finally
prevailed upon him to leave off coffee
and take Postum. He had stood out
for long time, but after he tried
Postum for few days he found that
he could sleep and that his cramps
disappeared. He was satisfied and has
never gone back to coffee.

Training Horses.

1t is claimed by those who have
trained many horses that, taking the
colt when training first begins, they
can be trained to walk over four miles
an hour. The walking gait is the
most important one to the farm and
road horse. The mistake with many
in training young horses is that they
are too soon put to trotting. which is
a gait they more readily learn than
fast walking.
