SCALE OF WAGES TO DECREASE,

A. these contracts expire, the scale
OF baseball wages will be seen to de-
crease until a healthy standard of com
pensstion can be established. This is
one OF the most potent effects which
tho proposed peace pact will have on
the game, and when the matter of sat
isfaetory salaries is adjusted then the
game will begin to flourish from a
sporting standpoint. Satisfied players
play the best ball; they play winning
ball, and the public goes to see clubs
perform which are at or near the top.
Many have overlooked during the riot
OF peace talk that another element than
; the magnates and players has TO be
satisfied in this baseball business. 1t
IL the public.
One fact seems to assert itself more
strongly than many others in the pres
ent crisis: the Federals are not going
to stand to lose anything now. 1t
seems that all conciliatory measures
have got to be granted by organized
baseball II calm is to be brought about.
The F'ederals are not going to surren-
der their holdings now without proper
reimbursement is made, even though
they are about ready to step out OF the

Tho futilty OF "fooling" the news

nash which comes from New York to-
day which rurnors that John X. Ten
er's days as president of the National
League are numbered. Many OF the
club owners in the National League, it
Is reported, are dtspleased with the
manner in which Tener handled the
announcement of peace negotiations
between organized baseball and the
Federals.
When the first intimation came that
peace vas about to reign, reporters
denied the story, and later when the
official announcement came from the
American League meeting in Chicago,
1ener backed down on his denial.
Many Of the baseball writer's demand
ed an explanation OF these tactics from
. the National League head. and his only
q @nswer was that he did not know the
ways Of newspaper men," More expert
enced National League magnates know
well the support the press can give
them In whptever course they under
take, and hguring that Tener is in bad,
they are said to be ready to dispose

Quickly stops Sour Burning Feeling ard
Makes Digestion Painless.
The most universal use OF magnesn
oy physicians and specialists In the treat-

fact that 1t stops food fermentation and
neu.ralzes the acid--the direct cause IL
nearly all stomach troubles. OF the many
forms of magnesia such as oxides. CIT
rates, carbonates, sulphates etc. the
most suitable and efficient and tile one
prescribed by leading specialists Is
bisurated magnesla, teaspoonful OF
which In a little warm water immedlate-
ly after eating win instantly neutralize
the acid, stop fermentation. and thus
ensure painless normal digestion. Care
should be taken to get bsurated mag

fective 1t Is also, by the way, usually
stocked by druggists In convenient COM
pressed tablets as well as In the ordinary
powder form. Stomach sufferers and
dyspeptics who follow this plan and
avoid the use of pepsin, charcoal, soda

ably astonished to find that the stomach
relieved OF the irritating acid and gas,
soon regains its normal tone, and can do
its work alone without the doubtful aid
