tract, $4,000. The fact that the
one who must pay up was a wo-
man, an owner whom the major
ity of the other magnates dislike,
was the only thing that reconcil-
ed them to the rhorrifying fact
that real money must be paid out
to canned ball player.
Ebbetts and Hermann admitted
that Roger seemed to have an
ironclad contract which would
stand the acid test in any court
in the country. There is also
well-founded belief that the case
will be taken to the Missouri
courts. The case will be sub
mitted to arbitration, the state
having a law providing for such
procedure. The arbiter has the
power to call witnesses, and his
finding is as binding as that of
any JURY. The final disposition of
the case will be decided at this
afternoons meeting. Every eff
fort will be made to effect a com
promise and keep the case from
the courts, but Secretary Heydler
of the league admitted that the
chances Of escaping an arbitra-
tion procedure were dubious.
The only difference between
Bresnahan and Chance was that
Chance had faith in Charley Muir
ply, and did not have as strong
a contract as Bresnahan. Muir
ply is a greater disturber than a
whole flock of sufragettes.

WHITE PlMPLES ON HEAD

Ransom. Ill.-"The trouble started
on our baby when he was only about
two weeks old. Started like little
white pimples, looked like an old scab
Of blood and matter. His whole head
was covered for few months, then it
went TO his ear, shoulders, and his
whole body. 1t seemed to come out
thick and sticky on his head, while
on the other parts of his body it was
more like water coming out OF the
skin. He would scratch until the erup-
ton would be all covered with blood
and gradually spread. The least little
stir or rub would cause the sores to
bleed spread and itch. Never had a
full nights sleep, restless all night.
THE sores were horrid to look at.
1t lasted until he was about two and a
half years old. Then we saw an &C.
zema advertisement in the paper to
use -, but it did no good. Then
we used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment. We put the Cuticura Oint-
tight hood on so he could not scratch
the sores. Then we washed 1t clean
with Cuticura Soap and warm water
twice day, and he was completely
cured" (Signed) Mrs. 4. F. Sulzber-
