New York, Feb 12.-Everything in
connection with professional baseball
discussed today, inside and outside the
meetings of the National League and

owed by the case of Johnny Evers,
deposed manager of the Cubs.
What is Evers going to do?' was
the question an answer to which was
sought unsuecessfully all day.
Evers Will Not Aid Murphy.
Late tonight, Evers himself had not
decided further than to reiterate
Il have made up my mind on one
thing, and that is that no matter
whether 1 play with organized base
ball or accept an offer made me by
the Federals, | am determined that
Charles Murphy of the Chicago club

action"
Evers has telegraphed to his legal
adviser in Troy, \, Y, to come to-
morrow and bring with him the two
contracts which Evers signed as
manager and player with the Chicago
Club. President James E. Gaffney of
the Boston Nationals has made an
appointment to meet Evers and his
counsel.

signed a contract with the Federals

the tonic effect of pure air is obtain ed, but we do know the benefits which follow living and sleeping out of doors and the excellent results obtained Tn open air sehoola One ,of the most most for better ventilation has been the de- crease in the impure air diseases, pneumonia, consumption and hron- chitis. The practice of ventilation is becoming more general but there IS stin room for improvement Those who are saill occupying hit, stufy living and working quarters run great risk of contracting lung diseases, and should know that an abundant supply of pure fresh air is the most power ful agent for the prevention of these diseases. When the weather is cold we should keep our bodies warm by clothing them prnperly and, not by shutting out the pure fresh air.
 One of the crying needs of the present days is better ventilation in our steam and trolley cars. No per these cars appears to have been de- vised, but conditions could be greatly improved by more attention to the
 ventiiatorS- now in use. Some Of the
 interurban trolleys are particularly
 bad in this respect and conductors could to advantage be instructed tC
 pay some attention to the ventilation of their cars. We know that or
 crowded cars their time is fully occu- pied in taking fares and letting pas. sengers off at the proper corner, bui this matter would take but few min. utes. The practice of having passen. gers enter by the rear door and leayt by the front door aids to keep up z ] better circulation of air than wheI only one door is used. Passenger also should learn not to object to ! little draft and should remember tha, l this draft will not injure them al
 much as breathing over and ovei again the stale air already used by 5l or 50 other people"
