MACNATES Would
Defer OPENING OF
BASEBALL season

A movement is on foot in the Ma
tional league to have the openings Of
the two major circuits set a week or
two later in the spring on account Of
weather conditions.
President Ebbetts Of the Brooklyn
Dodgers is fostering the move and Is
said to have other magnates with him.
There is also some talk. of the matter
being taken up in the American
league.
The main objection to the present
early opening Is that many games
have to be postponed on account Of
cold weather, rain and snow and be-
cause ballplayers who have condi-
toned themselves in the south lose
the benefits of the training camps
when they work in the frigid April
weather of the coast and lake cities.
1t has been argued that the weather
in mid-October is more likely to be
warm than in April and 1854 games
could be played by extending the sea
sons later in the fall

case the faculty representatives Of

consent for a post-season game for

Prof. Thomas F. Moran of Purdue,
chairman of the conference faculty
committee, has already expressed an
opinion in favor Of such a game.

when presidents should be waived, 3"

and Minnesota have discussed the
feasibility of meeting between the

For Catarrhal Deafness
and Head Noises

Here in America there is much
suffering from catarrh and head
noises. American people would do
we'll to consider the method en-
plOyed by the English TO combat
this insidious disease. Everyone
knows how damp the English eli
mate is and how dampness affects
those suffering from catarrh. In
England they treat catarrhal deaf
ness and head noises as a cOnstitu
tional disease and use an internal
remedy for it that is really very
efficacious.
Sufferers who could scarcely hear
have had their hearing restored by
this English treatment TO such an
extent that the tick OF a watch was
plainly audible seven and eight
inches away from either ear.
Therefore, If you know someone
who is troubled with catarrh. ca
tarrhal deafness or head noises. cut
out this formula and hand it 20
them and you may have been the
means Of saying some poor sufferer
perhaps from total deafness. The
prescription can be easily pre-
pared at home for a few cents and
is made as follows:
From your druggist obtain l OF.
Of Parmint Double Strength). Take
this home, and add to il "a pint

With the announcement that Mich

son game with the University of
Chicago eleven for the benefit Of
war charities, and to help clear
the question Of gridiron supremacy
of the conference and the west, a
furore was created in athletic cir

not only possible but probable has
caused interest in the Wolverine

Michigan board in control of ath-
ietics mad not given its sanction TO
the contest, as a special meeting
had yet 10 be called, but that with
other conference eleven Willing,
the game was a sure go.
Both Willing and Anxious.
Bartelme also stated this evening
that the game with Chicago would
certainly prove the indisputed wes-
tern title. and that both he and the
board were willing and anxious to
see il staged.
When asked concerning the re-
turns from ate receipts, Bartelne
stated that they would 90 70 some
worthy cause in connection with
the American soldiers or men in
the service. Gate receipts. he also
said, would more than double those
of the games played on the ordinary
schedule, and that from both the
point of view of the charity work
er, the fan, and the conference the
game would be a distinct feature.
When the announcement of the
plan for the big game reached the
campus tonight, it was met with
the widest enthusiasm. Michigan

the team and believe in its chances
for the title.
