PINANCEAND REALTY

With Gas stock still inactive, very lit
tie activity in any stocks, and with bonds
in only fair demand. yesterdays session
was dull and uninteresting. No effect Of
the Standard Oil decision was seen in the
trading, though local financial circles
were agog over the ruling. Local brok-
erage offices felt the calm before the
storm yesterday as soon as it was an
nounced that the Supreme court would
withhold some decisions until after the
early afternoon adjournment.
This action Of falling to hand down all
the decisions at once. was taken as an
indication that either the Standard OIL
or American Tobacco cases. or both,
were to be decided adversely for the
the delay in announcement
being explained as an unwillingness on
the part Of the court to affect the New
York stock exchange unnecessarily by
the news Of the ruling in the middle Of

Gould DO NOTHING.

Judging by the foregoing dispatch
sent out from Bloomington the
southern clubs. in trying to decide
what to do, found that they could do
nothing but wait-and fall in line
with the suggestions made by the
northern clubs at their meeting here
Friday. Apparently the Blooming
ton and Danville clubs are sick of the
fight and anxious TO play ball and
they have refused to hold out long
er with Kinsella's war party.
At Chicago last night President
Al TeaTney gave out pacific inter-
view, the firsr of that kind he has
been credited with since the contro-
versy opened. He intimated that a
settlement might be reached at the
meeting of the league Wednesday.
His attitude is referred to by the
RecOrd-Ferald as "a virtual surren-
der of Napoleon Tearney." All the
Chicago sports writer's now concede
that Waterloo has won its fight.
STILL CRAVE TROUBLE.
The only notes of discord heard
now come from Springfield, where
Dick Kinsella is still chewing his
mustache and from Peoria, where
Manager Rowan discourses upon the
constitution. Apparently Rowan
thinks because one clause of the
Three-Eye constitution was declared
illegal the whole instrument is
worthless. Rowan declared Satur-
day night he would give up his fran
chise rather than play under such
bum old agreement, but fortunately,
he is not the whole cheese down Pc
Oria way and he will without doubt
be overruled by the real owners
when the time comes. Kinsella says
the letter sent out by the northern
clubs is rotten" and he wired one
of the northern magnates that he
had thrown it into the waste bas-
ket." adding, IF you were here I'd
throw you there, too" Poor, mis-
guided Dick.

CATARRH IS SURELY A
DANGEROUS DISEASE

Thousands of people allow catarrh to
slowly undermine the whole system
until a serious disease develops -
sometimes consumption.
People who have catarrh, should
use every effort TO get rid Of il, but
should above all adopt a sensible
method.
Stomach dosing, sprays and
douches wont cure Catarrh because
it is a germ disease and the germs
must be destroyed before the dis
ease can be conquered.
HyOmei is the one sens bic cure
for cataTrh because it reaches every
fold, crevice and nook in the mu-
cous membrane and gets where the
germs are. You breathe Hyomci
and as it passes over the infamed
membrane it's soothing influence
heals the soreness and dcstrOyes the
germs.
A complete HyOmCi outfit costs 81.
This consists of a bottle Of Hyomei
and a harb rubber inhaler Pour
few drops Of Hyomei into the iuhal-
eT and breathe it a few minutes each
day, that's all you have to do. II

TO DISBAND AT
END OF SEASON
M. H. Sexton Suggests Agree
ment to This Effect by the
Three Eye League.
MUST GET TOGETHER SOON
Would Give Name to Faction Show
ing Better Attendance During
the Pennant Race.

NJ. H. Sexton, president of the
National Association of Professional
Baseball Leagues, today gave out a
statement upon the Three-Eye con-
troversy in which he warned the
magnates that some decisive action
would be expected at the meeting At
Chicago Wednesday, declaring if
nothing were done by April l to in
sure baseball for the circuit tha-
he would take the matter up with
the national board of arbitration
with view of having the league dis
band for the good Of baseball and
the protection of the players.
Mr.. Sexton further suggested that
in order to get out of the present
difficulty that the clubs agree TO dis
band at the close OF this season. the
name and organization to go to the
end of the league having the larger
attendance during the season.
Mr.. Sections statement. which is
addressed to the Three-Eye league,
follows:
ADDRESSED TO LEAGUE.
The Three-Eye league in the heat
of the controversy over the Water
loo club seems 10 be about TO over
look several important features that
enter into the case at this time,
namely: The rights and interests of
their players; the financial invest
ments of their several clubs; the
question of the leagues present
classification and the entertainment
of the many loyal patrons Of the
game throughout this territory.
While it has been the general pol
icy of the National Association of
Professional Baseball leagues to
keep it's hands off of controversies
that have gotten INFO the civil courts
some of the questions above men
toned make it imperative on this
association to take notice of exist
ing conditions and to take such ac
ton in the immediate future as will
tend TO bring about a settlement of
this trouble.
Players are becoming nervous and
uneasy, are asking the national as
sociation to give assurance that
their rights to employment be not
denied them and have even gone so
far as to ask for a guarantee of
their 1911 salaries or an immediate
release from present contracts IN or
der that they may seek employment .
