EASTERN LEAGUE TO
 CHANGE ITS NAME.
It's President Not After Nations
 Presidents Job.

Newark, N. J., Dec 7-Radical changes in the Eastern league are looked for when that organization meets in New York Monday, according to a statement issued tonight by Presi- dent Edward c. Barrow. One will be a change in the name which the organ ization has had for 20 years
 There Is nothing in the rumor that row in his statement referring to the Is a fine fellow and i5 deserving of re- eIectlon Tor a longer term
 There will be no objection to my ce-election for a five year term. I am satisfied with my present salary, $5, 900, and would refuse an increase"
 Mr. Barrow replied vigorously to Charles T. Chapin, the Rochester club owner, who gave out a statement de- claring that MT. Barrow did not know the baseball law regarding post season games. MT. Chapin insisted that in terleague meant games within the same league.
 "The report that the Eastern league overlooked the national association rule 26 Is false" says Berrow. 'T consult ed with the national commission about the matter, and it looks as if Chapfn does not know the meaning of the word fnterleague. The national com mission would not bother with the se- ries because 1t was an interleague af- fair.
 "A desire t0make the Eastern league huge success Is my sole object in life just now"

THE RELIABILITY TEST.
Runs Have Resulted in Education of
 the Motorist.

When reliability runs first were con- .ceived the promoters only had in mind teaching the buying public that the motor car was dependable, that it was possible to make country trips and that 1t could cover much more ground iE a day than the horse, says Motor Age Later as the car improved
 largely by the lessons taught by these contests, the object of the reliability was to demonstrate the in6allibility of the motor, that 1t could run day in and day out, over all sorts of roads, and in all kinds of weather, with only occa- sional mishaps and those only minor ones. Then came the day of the tech ntca1 examination which so often proved to the public that fin point of stamina and endurance the modern motor really is superior to the loco motive, which has to have it's steel rails to run upon and tc have careful atten- ton every few hundreds of miles. Now it would seem as if that stage has been passed and that the reliability run of the present day has other ramdhcations
 The public knows the cars dependa- bility and therefore the reliability run as it is now Is more in the nature of good roads missionary, awakening the people to the need of better highways and showing them that if the country was a network of fine roads that mo- torfng would be far moro enjoyable. Then, too, the modern reliability arouses city folks from their lethargy,

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
EfsTLEss TRADING.
Sharp Bear Attack Depresses Prices
 at Close.

New York, Dec. Achievements of prices on the stock market t7dty 20 nearly duplicated those of the previous days of the week that the market ap- peared to have fallen deep into rut- Trading was liStless and without mi tiative from any quarter during the most of the session. The undertone was heavy and some issues were decid- edly weak. Toward the close the bears repeated their tactics of earlier days of the week, bringing the session to an end with a sharp attack which depress- ed prices generally. Among the active stocks Union Pacific, Reading, Le- high Valley and Amalgamated Copper were forced a. point or more below the previous days close.
 Traders said that the markets ap- pearance of heavtness. not only today, but during the earlier part Of the week, probably was due in part to the ques ton of speculative holdings by inter ests which took into consideration the prospects of a lCng session or con- gress. Another factor which was talk en into consideration was the probable effect of January 1 financial settle ments in restricting buying on a large scale.
 Maintenance of the call money rate at the higher figures which have pre- vailed since the beginning of the week was regarded an important factor in governing trading. Interests which have been committed to the bull side construed the DTmu6SS or tue money market as pointing to a lessening of accommodations which in itself prob ably led to some liquidation of spec ulative accounts. The ruling rate for call funds was 1-2 per cent, though some loans were placed at as high as 1-2 per cent. Time money also was frmer, with strong demand for all maturities. The gates for sixty and ninety days equal1ed the highest rates of year ago this month, while call mn f1f hot ysfG 1b 1-2 nc cent in December of 1910. Further selling of inactive industrials, such as has been in progress for several days resulted in some substantial losses Poor trade conditions during the past year. low prices of steel and unfavor- able financial statements have given rise to reports that reorganization of several companies is not unlikely.

Federal Mining registered q further loss, and American Can pre- ferred relasped after it's rise of yester- day.

How She Fooled
 the Doctor

Three years ago my little girl, An gela, was taken sick with scarlet fever and later dropsy set in; her face and limbs swelled and her eyes puffed. A leading physician here at the time, treated her without the slightest sue cess. A sample of your Swamp Root having been left at the house at the time. I resolved to try it. and as it agreed with her stomach I continued using it with grateful results The inflammation began to subside after she had taken the first fifty y-cent bot tie and after she took two large bot ties she was pronounced cured by the doctor and has been in good health ever since. The doctor came to see her every day and examined her every second day until he pronounced her kidneys in perfect condition.
 Now then the doctor was under the his medicine. but as his medicine had failed to do bit of good, and desiring not to offend him. did not tell him I was giving her Swamp-Root and he did not know the difference. did not use one drop of his medicine after have always felt that Dr. Kilmers Swamp-R Root saved my girls life, for which I am grateful.
 I cannot praise it too highly. x, Very truly,

HERzoo FOUND BAKER.
Giants Third Stacker Brought Out His
 Great Rival from Maryland.

It is a remarkable story how Baker ana Herzog. the rival third saclxers Tn the worlds series, have always been associated since they were nothing more than big kids. If the question was asked, Who found this brilliant slugger and 'infielder, Baker?' the an- out of hundred, Connie Mack" 1t is true, Connie took Frank when he was an uncut stone and polished him into one Of the most brilliant jewels on his star combinati ton, says Frederic Iieb in the December number of the Baseball Magazine.
 But who found the rough stone? Who gave the rough stone it's first this question is no other than Charley Herzog, the rival third sacker on the Giants. Back in 1905, Herzog man aged an independent team in the Cum berland Valley. Charley was always a financier, and never slipped up on a money proposition
 He had played with Baker when they were younger, and Frank signed up with him as a pitcher. Now comes the part that Herzog had in develop ing for Connie Mack one of the best third seekers the country has ever known. Frank was not a bad pitcher, but an inspiration seemed to strike Herzog that Baker was never cut out for finger. How'd you like to try the infield2" asked Charley of Frank one day. Frank declared it suited him 70 u tee. ana rom tnaI time on Balkeh became HerZog's third baseman He could hit them a mile, and was a fancy fielder. though still a little un- couth-
 Let us hark back to Baker again, and review Franks early life. He first saw the light of day in Trappe, Md, March 19, 1886. Trappe is some twen- ty miles to the west of Baltimore and is an agricultural community, noted for its f1nc peaches and canteloupes. Among its finest peaches were those plucIxed by Managers McGillicuddy and McGraw- Bakers father was a tiller of the soil, and Frank was a typical country boy. He attended the district public schools, and his life was that of the average rural youth until his ball playing began to attract public attention.

Train Service Case Is knotty Prob
 lem to Solve.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 The CiarKsyille-hussellyi train service controversy. which came up Tor a hearing at the meeting of the Arkansas railroad commission, brought up legal yquestion as ,o whether the commissioners had the power to act in ordering a change.
 It was contended by w. E. fleming way, counsel for the Iron Mountain railroad company, that the special act of the general assembly of 1907 pro- yided for the selection of an initial point on the main line betwen th,s city and Fort Smith, as near half way as possible between the two places from which the local trains should be operated to the terminals of the di- vision and back each day. This pro- vision having been complied with, the railroad company contended that the commission did not have the power to order a change As the same body which created the special act had created the commission the point brought up the question of the legality of the commission acting in the matter at all. After considerable argument the case was taken under advisement pending the submission of further evidence on the legal point at issue.

 Los Angeles.-The only talesman, who had been considered assured of acceptance by both sides in the Mo- Namara murder trial. was virtually removed from consideration, and at the end of four weeks it could Dot be learned that any juror was even fairly certain to remain in the box.
 Seaborn Manning, 56 year old, a farmer, tue talesman who seemed agreeable to both sides, is physically unsuited for jury service in a long trial according to four of Manning's fellow-talesman, who waited upon Judge Bordwell and told him of aiaR- ning's condition.
 Judge Bordwell took the mattes under adyisement.
 Attorney Clarence s. Darrow, chief counsel for the defense, said be fear ed it would be impossible to retain Manning.
 Other possibilities of permanent jurors are Talesman Bain, Green and Sam Mendenhall. Of these, Green appeared to stand the best chance although he admitted having an ac. quaintance with District Attorney John b.
