New York. February l5.-Magnatcs
Of the National League of professional

agreement In New York to-day on a
schedule OF games for the coming sea-
son. After INDUCING in heated de-
bate from 2 o'clock this afternoon un-
til after . o'clock. adjournment was
taken until o'clock Tomorrow after
noon.
Argument, which at times waxed
acrimonious did not serve to clear the
the so..called long, schedule--16s games
or the short schedule of 154. Muir
ply. of Chicago: Robson, OF st. Louis.
and Ebbetts, of Brooklyn. the latter
holding the proxy of Fogel. OF Phila-
delphia, who Is i'll, remained firm in
their demand for the long schedule.
Dreyfuss, of Pittsburg: Hermann, of
Cincinnati, and Dovev, of Boston. We're
equally emphatic In their stand for
ia games John 7. Brush, of New
of the decided split no vote was taken.
1t appears to a matter of more
speculation as to which schedule will
be adopted tomorrow. Perhaps
neither will be ratified in it's en-
tirety; there may be a substitut de-
cided upon.
After the meeting adjourned. q sum-
mons and complaint was served on
Murphy, of the Chicago Club, in a
suit brought by Andy Oakley to re-
cover $3.50, claim for salary last
season. Coakley, a pitcher, was sold
to the Louisville Club of the American
Association, but he refused TO play III
Louisville. and played last season with
semi professional clubs in the vicinity.
Murphy said tonight that If King
was renstated he would not sell him
to any club.

BUGS RAYMOND TO

McGraw Still Has Faith in This
Erratic Pitch

New York, February 15.--Bugs Ray
mond has promised to be good He
has signed contract to pitch for the
Giants again this year and Is prepar-
ing to start for Texas. He has made
1T plain to Manager McGraw that he
intends to walk a crack In future and
will be dashed firmly to the front seat
Of the water wagon. Raymond has
been wintering In Chicago, and writes
that he Is hungry for pay day: also
that he is willing to obey the rules OF
tho New York club to the letter and
Is ready to pitch his arm off IL Nc
Graw SO ordains. The big pitcher Will
receive $1,000 in excess OF the salary
named In his contract at the end of
the coming season IL he makes good
his promises, and as his pockets arc
empty Just now he is in serious
mood.
Raymond is Just a big. good naturcd
kid" said McGraw. He means us
no harm and Will soon steady himself.
He's one OF the great pitchers of the
profession, and II / can make him too
the mark this year he'll help us won
derfully. The trouble with him Ia that
lie doesn't know the value of a dollar
because he's inclined to regard base
ball as joke and the salary he re-
ceives as a cinch. But he'll soon get
over that, for he'll be made to realize
that he's got to earn his pay. I think
he's learned lesson this winter, and
will be another person when he gets
into harness at the training camp"
In spite OF his boisterous behavior
last year Raymond won eighteen
games and lost twelve, pitching three
shutouts. giving cighty-scvcn bases on
balls in total OF thirty-ninc games
and striking out lei batsmcn. He Is
comparatively young. has a rugged
constitution and possesses natural skill
Last summer while on ono OF tho West
ern trips Raymond had "A personal al
tercation with McGraw in a sleeping
car and was partially subdued. It Was
McCiraw's only chance to assert his
authority and the cratic slabman was
disagreeabIy surprised. But the incl
dent was soon forgotten and since then
Bugs has been decidedly tame. His
good resolutions as expressed in the
letter 10 McGraw. therefore. would
seem to indicate complete reformation.
At least McGraw thinks so. and he
probably knows Raymond better than
anybody.

Jurist Met Death in Auto Accident.

Montgomery, Ala, Aug. 10
julius G. Richardson, Judge Of the
Third Judicial Circuit of Alabama,
is dead, and Ed. Winkuer and Glas-
Cow Stewart, Of Greenville, Ala, are
injured, as the result Of an automo-
bile accident yesterday afternoon,
fifteen miles from Montgomry, on
the Mobile road.
The party was coming to Mont
gomery from Pensacola, and the
chauffeur was unfamiliar with the
road. At a high rate Of speed he
drove the car to the centre of a
bridge on which there is steep rise.
The car sprang for I'd, fell,
crushed one wheel, skidded and then
suddenly stopped, throwing Judge
Richardson over the hood. He was
rushed TO a Montgomery hospital in
another car. He died this evening
few minutes before the arrival Of
his young wife. He was one Of the
best known jurists in Alabama.

As to Worthless Checks.

Columbia, Aug. 12.-In view of
recent arrests on the authority of
the act Of the General Assembly,
passed at the 1910 session Of the
General Assembly, making 1t mis-
demeanor to issue check with no
funds in the bank, there has arisen
some interesting discussion among
the legal talent with regard to the
construction Of the act. Some seem
to think that a man has thirty days
to make the check good after being
arrested, while Others hold that he
has thirty days to make the check
good after It's issuance; then he IS
subject to arrest and fine.

A Cheese 125 Years Old.

In the cantons Of Vaud and Valais,
Switzerland, cheese-makers often
preserve their product for years be-
fore eating it. They say that it
grows better with age. In some
Aplaces 1t Is the custom to make spe-
'cial cheeses for family celebrations,
keeping them in reserve, properly
dated, for years. Sometimes such
cheeses are made and kept to be
used at the funerals Of members af
the family, and often certain chosen
cheeses are handed down from gen
GRAFTON to generation as family heir
looms. Recently, at Ormonts, in an
abandoned house, a cheese was found
bearing the datet t7S5. 1t had become
SO hard that it was necessary to
cut 1T with a saw, but those who par
took Of it declared that it was still
an excellent cheese.

Robert Treat Paine Dead.

Waltham, Mass, Aug. 11.-Rob-
ert Treat Paine, president of the
American Peace Society, and widely
known as philanthropist, died at
his home here tonight.
The end came at 1910, the sick
man sinking into death almost i'm
perceptiblv. He was a sufferer from
paralysis and had been unconscious
for several days.
IT was through his efforts in be-
half Of peace among the countries of
the world that Robert Treat Paine
became a figure of something more
than national prominence. AS presi-
dent Of the American Peace Society,
his work occasionally took him to
Europe and at The Hague his name
was enrolled among the prominent
advocates of disarpament.
He was born in Boston in 1855,
and was the son of Charles G. Paine,
who was a grandson Of Robert Treat
Paine, one Of the signers of the Dec
laration of Independence. Mr..
Paine's career of philanthropic and
religious endeavor forms a chapter
in the history of that city during the

voters OF the State at the

for Governor, do hereby in meeting

AS Representative for two years,
as a Senator for four years, he al
