HOBBIES BARRED
American Trotting Association
Adopts Report of the Joint
Committee.
ELIMINATION is GRADUAL
Must Not Be Used on. 2-Year-OIds
This Year, 3-Year-Olds Next,
and So on.

Chicago, May 4.-The use of hob
American Trotting association has
been doomed and after 1914 the nags
with the straps on their legs will
have disappeared. This move was
decided upon yesterday when the
members of the association in bi-an-
nual meeting at the Auditorium ho-
te', voted to adopt the rule as drawn
up by a joint committee recently.
The doing away of the straps will
be gradual, their use being barred
from 2-year-olds this year. from g.
year-olds in 1911 and from 4-year-
olds in 1912, with absolute abolish
ment in 1914. The doing away with
the straps for the side-wheelers was
the most important charge made at
the meeting and was carried by a
vote of 267 to So.
Opposition to the adjustment de-
veloped with the owners of half-mile
tracks, as it was argued that the
larger part of their entries came
from PAGERS that are obliged to wear
hobbies. The greater per cent of
those who attended the meeting came
prepared to stand for doing away
with the straps and carried the vote
of many of the members who could
not attend. Secretary knight had
previously sent letters to officers of
every association track, and it was
found that at least 80 per cent of
them preferred to bar the use of hob
bles by the system of gradual elm
nation.
Books mt Matinees.
Another change of more than mi
nor Importance that was decided up
on was the change made in the mat
inee rule. 1t will now be possible to
conduct the matinee cards with book
making and pool selling.

ing it.
Manager Buelow Of Dubuque has re-
leased five of his recruits, leaving a
squad of only 16. Those remaining be-
hind are: Catchers, Mason and Lati-
mer; infielders, Lerchen, Roman, OAR
niger, Palmer and Bower; outfielders,
Reagan, Moore, Taylor and Backoff:
pitchers, Ray, Faber. Ferrias, Glass
and Miller.
Peoria Star: Fred Moore, the Dis
tiller second baseman, whom Manager
Rowan has been relying upon to fill
the keystone position for the locals,
has baked, and the indications are
that he will not be seen in the lineup
at Springfield tomorrow, when the Pc
oria club will open the Three-Eye sea-
son. Moore refused last night to sign
the contract offered him by Manager
Rowan in spite of the fact that it con-
tanned a substantial increase in salary
over that of last year, and the figure
was just as high as the best paid play
er on the Distiller pay roll. The action
of Moore was not entirely unexpected,
for although he has been playing good
ball throughout the exhibition season,
he has refused to consider a contract
or. give any idea as to the figure he ex-
pected until the last moment The fig
ure presented him by Manager Rowan
is probably as good as will be offered
any player in the Three-Eye league
this season, which is saying good
deal when it is remembered that sal
airy limit counts for little in the Three
Lamp circuit this season. Moore
however was of the opinion that he is
worth more money and turned the pa
per back without his signature. "If
Moore has signed his contract by to-
morrow morning he will accompany
the team to Springfield tomorrow,
said Manager Rowan today, "but I'M
less he has seen fit to accept the
terms of the contract offered him, /
will put Meyers on second base.'

GLOBE AND COPPER HILL ID PLAY SUNDAY Suburbanites Will Come in With Strong Lineup to
 Open Season

Baseball fans of this city will have a chance to see two of the teams of the new baseball league in action next Sun. day, when Globe and Copper Hill meet at School Hill park, if tacit agree ment made yesterday is carried out
 Copper Hill has been picking up what appears to be strong aggregation and from all reports, will come here with the intention of flashing the Globe boys to the scoreboard and making them yell for assistance. With Wisebacker on the mound and Doran behind the bat, Cross white on first, Dent on second, Reppert at short, Baker on the three-mile post, and Pruitt, Krumbeck and Thomas in the cutter garden, the Copper Hill boys are confident of capturing Globes goat in the first act and carrying it home as souvenir of the glad occasion.
 Not so with the Globules, however They have been warming up for nearly three weeks and are looking like a real live aggregation of National leaguers, In practice they are both fast and accurate and unless they develop a large-sized case of stage fright on their initial appearance, they will give Cop per Hill run for the extended verdant that will make Wright aeroplane flight look like a snail with cOrns run ming backwards.
 The local lineup has not been select ed as yet, but several strenuous practice workouts will be held this week and a strong team picked before Sunday.

 FULLY DESCRIBED 4 Lady of PizarrO Tells Story of Awful Suffering That Cardui
 Finally Relieved.

 "I tried doctors and other medicines and found little relief, until was induced 10 try Wine of Cardui, when found in- stant relief and today can heartily recommend Cardui to all suffering women and think there is no other as good"
 In some instances, Cardui gives instant relief; in others, it may take a little time. But in all cases of female trouble Cardui can be depended on to be of benefit, as it is specific remedy for women and acts in a curative way on the womanly organs.
 As general tonic for women, to build Up your strength, improve your appe- tite, bring back rosy cheeks and make you look and feel young and happy, nothing you can find will do so much for you as Cardui.

 The letters they had sent to tell him of the exact date of their arrival had not reached here until after his de- parture, and consequently he was not aware of their presence in the city.

Terribly Scared in Flaming Paint While Saving His
 Home from Fire
IS CARED FOR AT
 COUNTY HOSPITAL
In Terrible Agony, Makes Way to Business Dis
 trict Unaided

In an effort to save lis home from destruction, by carrying out can of blazing roofing paint, Louis Berndt, one of the proprietors of the Globe Bakery, was so terribly burned at noon yester- day that he may not recover.
 Late last night it was reported that Mr. Berndt, who is receiving medical attention at the county hospital, was resting easily and that the chances for his ultimate recovery were good The extent of the burns is such, however, that the seriousness of his condition will probably not be known for sev. eral days.
 According to the incoherent story told by Mir. Berndt after the accident, the ignition of can of roofing paint which he was heating on the kitchen stove was the cause of the accident.
 When the paint, composed largely of tar and creosote, caught fire, the blaze threatened to communicate to the wood work of the kitchen. To save the house from destruction, Berndt picked up the cadron of flame and attempted to carry it outside the house.
 Just as he reached the outside door he stumbled and fell directly into the blazing mass of tar and creosote.
 How he managed to escape alive how he managed to extinguiSh the flames from his clothing, MT. Berndt himself does not know. He was partially delir- ious when he was given medical assisH ance by Doctors l.. E. Wightman and J. Iq. Wales, after coming to the busi- ness district unaideI.
 An examination of his injuries show ed that he had been badly burned about the face, hands, arms and feet. Quite an extensive portion of the sur face of his body was scared by the flames, it being the extent of the burns, rather than their depth, which makes his recovery doubtful.
 As a partner with W. F. Koch, Mir. Berndt has conducted the Globe bakery for a number of years. The two part ners lived at ,346 North First street, Mir. Berndt being alone at the house when the accident occurred.
