Governor Morehead today gave out the
following statement relative to the sttua-

There are two plans which present
themselves. One is to close up the de-

braska its services. This would throw
the state wide open and place food and
other matters on the same basis that
existed ten years ago.
THE other plan is to keep the depart

lected and give the people the benefit
of full enforcement Of these popular laws.
The whole state is interested in keeping
the department open as is easily shown
by the correspondence on file and by
word coming from every quarter OF the

MUST PLAY BALL GAMES OUT
President Tener Issues New Rule on
Hating Contests-Must Catch
Trains Leaving Later.

A check on the calling of games to
than necessary to get them to their
next scheduled stop one hour before
game time has been put into effect
by the National league. 1t also Is
ruled that games may not be started
earlier than the usual hour. The an
nouncement was made in a statement
by Secretary John A. Heydler which
read:
Hereafter no club in the National
league will be permitted to begin
championship game prior to the usual
starting hour, or to discontinue play
before the game is finished in order
that participating club or clubs may
catch early trains. The last train,
as stated in the leagues laws, will be
construed to mean the last train
scheduled to- reach the next city at
least one hour prior to the customary
time of starting games.
"The above ruling WAS made and an
nounced by President Tener of the
National league. The case upon
which the ruling was based occurred
in Pittsburgh recently, when the game
was called at five o'clock before its
completion and with the score a tie.
Pittsburgh being scheduled to play in
st. Louis next day, an agreement was
entered into before the game that the
teams should stop play one hour prior
to the departure of the six o'clock
train for ST. Louis"

NEW UNIFORMS FOR MACKMEN
Players on Philadelphia Athletic Team
to Wear Gray-Green Suits When
Away From Home.

Along with the new stars who have
left the Philadelphia American fold
this year go the much criticized road
uniforms of the Athletics. When
away from the Shibe park the Mack
men wear costumes of grayish
green, while the old coal scuttle caps
have at last been discarded in favor
of the more up-to-date ball players
headgear, the cap being white with
black bill and stripes.
This is the first time since Mack
won the first championship for Phila-
delphia that there has been a change
in the uniform of the Athletics. Mack
IS more or less superstitious, and he
believed that the dull gray uniforms
In which the Athletics formerly ap-
,eared were partly responsible for the
good fortune of his team. For that
reason he was ioath to change, al
though his team was often criticized
for its slovenly appearance.

The most surprising feature of the
Yanks showing to date has been it's
pitching. Caldwell, Heating, Fisher
and McHale, are in great shape. War
hop will round into form with warmer
weather, and "Old King" Cole is ex-
pected to perform nobly in relief roles
as soon as he RECEIVERS from his recent
operation.
Caldwells greatest achievement to
date was his to victory over Walter
Johnson, in which he allowed the Sen
ators only two hits. Not to be out
done, Heating pitched two-hit game
against the Red Sox few days later,
and Fisher has been pitching consist
ent low-hit games.
Pipp and High, secured from the De-
troit Tigers, have added greatly to the
batting strength of the club. The club,
as a whole, is hitting at great clip
and hitting in pinches. It's fielding

And now, let us discourse a bit con-
corning those pop-eyed New York Yam
KEGS.
Up to the present moment, we have
refrained from uttering a few kind
words concerning them There's a
| reason, as they say in breakfast food
circles. The reason is that in the
past whenever someone asserted that
the Yanks look good" the Yanks
promptly rose up and called that some
one liar by trying to burrow through
the bottom of the American league.
But this year it may be different.
At any rate, we cannot do other than
make the plain statement that the
1915 Yankees look better and have
been displaying better baseball than
any Yank team since Jack CHESHIRE
and associates nearly won q pennant
In 1904
The Yanks, so far, have been the
real surprise of the American league.
No one expected them to get away
with jump because of two seemingly
good reasons. One was that it was a
comparatively new ball club and it
was figured that it would take month
or so for it to get to working smooth
ly. The second reason-and most i'm
portant-was that during the first
three weeks of the campaign, the
Yanks have been pitted against the
supposedly best teams in the Ameri-
can league.

THE SECRET

Of good coffee is to get pure, sound coffee.
If you ask your dealer he will tell you
that all coffees are pure, as the law pro-
hibits the sale of substitutes as coffee.
Not all apples are pure although they
are apples. Some of them are often rotten.
Some coffees are windfalls, and whilst
the law allows them to be called coffee
they are impure and have harsh taste.
Denisons Coffees are picked coffees, the
berries picked by hand from the trees,
consequently they are always pure and
sound in every sense of the word, reliable
and delicious.
Denisons Coffees are always packed in
cartons, bags or cans with the name on
every package All others are limitations.
If your grocer does not stock Denison's
Coffees, write the Denison Coffee Co., Chi
cago, ILL.,, who will tell you where they
can be obtained in your vicinity.-Adv.

FRED MERKLE PRAISED
StaIIings Says Giant Is Player OF
High Degree.
Much Better First Stacker Than tho
Jokesmiths Would Have Us Be-
lieve-BIamed by the Fans for
Many Excusable Slips.

George Stallings is quoted as saying
that he considers Fred Merkle great
first baseman.
George is not alone in his opinion
that Merkle is much better man than
the jokesmiths would have us believe.
If he is punk, it is strange that Nc
Graw has held on to him so long, and
has made no prodigious effort to get
substitute. Whenever McGraw has
been in the market for successor for
Merkle he has sought one of the
brightest stars in that position, and
has never considered men of ordinary
caliber. Merkle is and has been a
good first sacker.
If support for that is desired, ask
Jake Daubert. Jake said last spring it
was a crying shame the way Merkle
has been belittled in the public mind
because of the bone play which he
was charged with making in 1908. 1t
was a play that SO out of every 100
ball players would have made, and
which would have been forgotten in
week if the National league cham
pionship had not depended upon one
game.
Haywood Broun of the New York
Tribune recently held conversation
with Merkle, which shows just how
badly Merkle feels about his mistakes,
and how he longs to redeem himself
in some sensational manner for his
famous failure to touch second.
Here is the story:

ball?" we asked Fred Merkle, as we

on the Gallipoli peninsula took the Of

nouncement from Constantinople says
inflicted heavy losses on the Franco
British left wing. In consequence of
the fire Of Turkish artillery, the allies
were compelled to change their posi-

b~ombardment against the new posi-
tions and silenced the artillery of their
opponents.
The correspondent of the Associated

mitted the following in an undated dis
patch:
British losses at Avi Bernu thus

lower, although the Turks now are con-
stantly on the offensive and they make
bayonet attacks almost every night.

the German commander, is high opti-
mistic regarding the outcome of the
operations. He declared to the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent that not
only are the British unable to make
progress, but they are losing ground
