The Boston American league club
and the Brooklyn Nationals will NEE;
in the 1916 worlds series. the open.
ing game of which will be played on
Braves field at Boston Saturday. The
teams viii remain in BosrOn over sun

field on Tuesday ana Wednesday Tn
fifth and sixth games, if necessary
VIII be played on Thursday and Fri-
day at Boston and Brooklyn, re-
spectively. Should a seventh game be
necessary to decide the series, the To-
cation OF the contest will be decided
by the toss of coin as in past years.
All these details were arranged at
a meeting of the national baseball
commission in New York city yester-
day afternoon.
Tentative arrangements already
have been made covering the pOssibili-
ties OF either Philadelphia or Brook
lyn in the National League being the
opponents of the Boston Americans
and the schedule of worlds series
games was arranged after a short dis
cussion. President Lannin suggested
that the series be opened at the park
of the Boston Nationals, where the
American leaguers will stage all their
games, owing to its immense seating
capacity, instead of deciding the place
OF the initial games by the custom
mary toss OF a coin. This plan was
adopted in view of the fact that both
the Brooklyn and Philadelphia clubs
required several days in which TO in
stall additional seats and boxes to ac-
commodate the large crowds which
will attend the series.
President Baker of the Philadelphia
club proposed that the series begin
en- Monday but this was vetoed by
the commission as being an unneces.
the play start Friday on the grounds
that the National league winner re-
quired a day or two of rest before be-
ing flung into the worlds series
against the Boston Red Sox who
clinched their league pennant two
days ago. The commission also dis
missed the proposal to alternate the
games between the contending cities
but decided that in case more than
four games were necessary the fifth
and sixth would be alternated. with
the place of the seventh decided by
the Tipping of coin.

President the Had Obey Before Trusted
SPORTING GOSSIP

1t is rumored in baseball circles that
the National League has under consid-
GRAFTON some proposed changes in the
rules, which will be acted upon at the
annual meeting in December. One of
the proposed changes is to abolish the
spitball and make the rule so that no
foreign substance of any kind may be
used by the pitchers. The present rule
would cover the use of the spitball
were it strictly enforced, for it pro-
hibits the discloring of the bail with
soil or otherwise or damaging it in
any way. Another proposition favored
by some magnates is to change the
foul-strike rule so that only one foul
may be called a strike instead of the
first two as at present. 1t is said the
short fields at the Philadelphia
grounds will also come in for consider
alton and rule may be adopted limit
ing a hit over the short fences to two
bases instead of a home run as at
present
1t is rumored in Boston that Percy
Haughton will retire as President of
the Boston Braves at the conclusion of
the present season. President Haugh-
ton is interested in several commerci-
al enterprises, which demand a great
deal of his attention. Mr., Haughton
is also desirous of returning to the ac-
tive command of the Harvard football
coaching. 1t is said that in the event
of Mr. Haughton retiring as the head
of the Boston Nationals he will be sue
ceeded by George Stallings, the pres
ent manager, and that Fred Mitchell,
who was recently signed to a three
year contract as coach will ttcome
manager No confirmation of the ru-
mors could be secured from the
Braves headquarters, and it is un-
likely that any official statement will
be made until after the world series.
Bill Clymer former owner and man
ager of the Wilkesbarre team of the
New York State League, has come
through with another winner, leading
the Louisville club of the American
Association to the pennant this season
Bill first gained fame as manager
with Columbus in the American Asso-
citation. leading four teams to the pen

mer has been mentioned several times
as a candidate for managerial posi-
ton in the big show and is deserving
of such a position in view of his sue
cess in the minor league.
Manager Christy Mathewson of the
Cincinnati team has made it known
that one player who is sure OF a place
next season IS nutiielder Ed Rousch.
who went to the Reds with Matty
from the Giants. Matty makes no
secret of his admiration for Rousch
and his ability as a ball player and is
said to have offered Ed a new contract
for next season at an increased salary.

WINDSOR MAN KILLED
Went over Bank in Automobile Near
Ascutneyville.


Windsor. Oct 2.-Between and 8
o'clock this evening, big automobile
owned and driven by w. B. Tuxbury
of this place, in which A. Fullerton
Phillips and w, H. Case, also Of this
place, were the other occupants, left
the road about four miles from the
town, near Ascutneyville, and colided
with a nearby tree with such force
that all three men were thrown from
the car.
Mr.. Case was killed almost instant
ly The other two men escaped with
minor injuries, Mr.. Phillips having
quite a few bruises and cut artery,
which will not, however, prove serious,
while Mr.. Tuxburys injuries are con-
fined to bruises alone. The car was
but slightly damaged and was driven
into Windsor on its own power.
At the time the accident occurred
the men were returning from Lake
Sunapee, where they had been in camp
for several days. They were proceed
ing at fair rate of speed when they
suddenly came upon bad piece OF
road where extensive repairs were be
ing made. Both Mr. Tuxbury and Mr.
Phillips have been too dazed since the
accident to give comprehensive and
exact account Of how it occurred but
it is believed by those who visited the
scene and looked over the ground that
the car must have slowed on the bad
road at which time Mr.. Tuxbury was
unable to control It, and the collision
with the tree resulted. The car did
not overturn.

10 more than in August and only four
less than were issued during the ban
ner month of the year, July. Since
January there have been 7O6 licenses
issued from the Office of the local town

lowing the victories gained by the Ser

extent that it does not demand the same consideration from the United Kingdom that it demands from other nations mo- tably that of the Teutons, it is pointed out today that this government could not break with the English government even if desired so to do.
 William Jennings Bryan is due the credit or should be held responsible for the situation, according to this argument For while Secretary of State, he nego- tiated treaty with England under the terms of which any dispute which can not be otherwise adjusted, must be sub- mitted to arbitration, and the arbitrators must prosecute an investigation extend ing throughout one year.
 While it is very probable that if cir Cumstances warranted war, neither na- ton would abide by the letter of the Bryan treaty, it is interesting to note that if this government Is partial in it's relations to England, it need not force fully demand respect for American com meree until the passage of one year after the beginning of arbitration. And by the passage of one year, the European war in all proba bility, would be ended. It is claimed in further extenuation oi the policy of the United States, that Bry- an offered Germany a similar treaty which Germany declined.

THIS OLD SOLDIER, WOUNDED 4 TIMES
 IS STILL IN LINE
Goes to the Reunion and Marches Three Miles in Big Parade-Gains 13
 Pounds.

If it had not been for that Tanlae couldn't have gone to the Confederate reunion at Memphis on the Sth of October and marched afoot for nearly three miles in the big parade" said Frank B.

 As a member of Company l, Second Kentucky cavalry, Basil Dukes regiment, Gen. John E. Gordon's command MT. kendrick saw service throughout the civil war, and was wounded four dlrrerent times
 During the winter" said MT. kendrick, .'I suffered intensely with rheumatism and when springtime came I went all to pieces. I had just about made up my mind that my end was not very far off, It looked like I was on the verge of a general physical decline, and had about despaired of ever walking again. l am 70 years of age, have fought good fight and proven my record, and was ready to go. But since I got hold of Tanlac 1 have set my head to round out 90 years, and from the way I feel now l believe I will do it. Before l began taking this medicine I was rapidly losing what little strength and flesh I had, and was so weak and debilitated it was all l could do to walk from the bed to the chair, and even that required great ex- ertion. I had no appetite at all, couldn't sleep to do any good and was awfully nervous. My flesh seemed to dry and l suffered a great deal with headache
 "I doctored and doetored, but did not show any sign of improvement l attfIbu- ted my failure to get relief to my old age and declining physical powers. But ] made bad guess, because after talk ing Tanlac two weeks [ felt better and younger than I had felt in years. l am now ,on my ninth bottle, and am actually Sc pounds heavier than was before began taking Tanlac. My clothes were too large-noW they are too small, and l Iuess I will have to buy clothes that will fit me more comfortably. To make ( long story short the medicine just seem cd to fill me with new life and energy, end put me right on my feet l nave a fine appetite now.
 tAs I told you before, I can now walk anywhere, and have thrown my cane aside because I don't need it any more, except for bad eyesight I spent TOUT days in Memphis at the reunion and just tramped around all over town with the boys All around were men who gave cut during the parade, but at the end I was right there, and didn't feel the least bit tired. I just got back few days ago. and was awfully glad to tell you what Tanlac has done for rne. If I had the money I would buy every old soldier bottle of Tanlac, because l believe it would add years to their lives"
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exciu- svely by Patton-Pope Drug company and Eugene Jacobs drug store; in Ensley by D. w. Morris Drug company, in Bes- semer by Pegram-Patton Drug company, in Pratt City by Gale Drug company and in North Birmingham by Walker Drug company.-Adv.
