Dumonts debut into fast company
has perhaps never been equaled. Even
Walter Johnson did not perform as
we'll when he broke In, though he was
not long In establishing the fact that he
was one of the games greatest per-
formers.
The selection of Messrs. L. c. Widrig
and Louis Werk to the dictatorship of
the Cincinnati National League Club,
to the two places vacated by the
Fleischmanns. puts a pair of ardent
fans and high-class fellows in a posi-
tion where they can serve the club to
good advantage. Both have been fol-
lowing base ball for many years, and
will be of great assistance to Presi-
dent Hermann in the conducting of the
clubs affairs.
1t has been denied that there is any
chance of the Federal League buying
into the Cincinnati club. This story
was created by the fact that Hermann
frequently has been in conference with
some of the Gilmore league club own
ers, but this was along lines which
have peace for an object and his own
club was not involved any more than
any OIL the OCHeTS.
While there are those in the National
eague who would go long way to
bring about peace in bose ball. it seems
that the entire American League is
tanding behind President Johnson and
paying no attention to the efforts or
he older circuit in its efforts to get in
line with the Feds.
There are no less than three of the
big men in the old league. however.
who have taken stand against any
negotiations being carried on with the
so-called outlaws. Dreyfuss of Pitts
hurgh is the most vigorous objector to
any lines being put out to the Feds.
and Hampstead Of New York and Eb-
hetts of Brooklyn are right in line
with him.
Gaffrey of Boston always has been
friendly with the Fed promoters. and
has expressed himself as being willing
to make concessions to end the war.
but prospects do not appear as bright
now as a few weeks ago, and realizing
this the Feds are preparing to go into
another campaign.

of unrestricted racetrack betting as the

against jockey clubs when they tried
TO restrict betting to tracks, and it was
his efforts that led to the adoption of
the New Jersey anti-racing law In 1894
which closed all New Jersey tracks per-
manently. Later De Lacy resorted to
legal proceedings to close race tracks
in this state, and went to Albany when
the Hughes anti-betting bills were un-

mote the success of the measure OF

Baby Of Future

Much thought has been given in late
years to the subject of maternity. In
the cities there are maternity hospitals
equipped with modern methods. But
most women prefer their own homes and
in the towns and villages must prefer
them. And since this Is true we know
from the great many splendid letters
written on the subject that our Mothers
Friend" is a great help to expectant
mothers. They write OF the wonderful
relief. how II seemed to allow the
muscles to expand without undue strain
and what a splendid Influence 1t was on
the nervous system. Such helps as
Mothers Friend" and the broader
knowledge OF them should have q helpful
influence upon babies OF the future.
