If Gen. Crowder recommends to

to be granted the national commission
tomorrow. that the work-or-isht reg
ulations be amended SO that base ball
owners and players be given . respite

This Is tho situation of the sport to-
day.
Gen. Crowder told Manager Griffith
yesterday at a conference which was
attended by President Minor of the
Washington club, President Tener of
the National League and President
Hampstead Of the New York Nation
ais that he would make his recon-
mendation to Secretary Baker imme-
diately or accede to the request of the
national commission and postpone it
until after the governing body of
base ball had submitted a brief set
ting forth the reasons why the effec-
tive time of the work-or-hght regu-

ball players should be extended Grif-
fith's opinion is that the interests of

from Cleveland, where meeting of
the American League was held yester-
day. to join President Tener of the
National League. the other member
of base balls governing body. and
appear before Gen. Crowder tomorrow.
Magnates Are Optimistic.
Dispatches from Cleveland last
night were to the effect that an opti-.
mistic feeling prevailed among the
American League club owners that
some concessions will be made as
result OF the meeting here tomorrow
to permit the carrying out of this
years schedule. 1t is assumed this
the league directors that the govern

would be an injustice to the owners
and to the players with dependents to
support to be compelled to go out of
business Immediately. as the directors
assert they will have to do If the
going into effect of the work-or-
fight order Is not delayed.
Base ball men overlook the fact that
government officials do not believe it

leaders Of the sport have displayed
gross ignorance OF the provisions OF
Gen. Crowder's edict in suggesting to

time In which to get their affairs
in order before notifying them to find
some essential occupation.
Gen. Crowder's office has nothing to
do with the notification of the players.
This duty has been and Is vested In
the local boards with which the players
registered These boards are supreme
unto themselves. They can Immediate

choose, or can advise the players in

Regardless Of what the hnal deci-

 Catarrh of the stomach is dangerous because the mucous membrane llnlng of the stomach is thickened and coat ing of phlegm covers the surface so that the digestive fluids cannot mix condition soon breeds deadly disease in the fermented. unaSsimilated food The blood is polluted and carries the infection throughout the body. Gastric ulcers are apt to form and frequently an ulcer is the first sign of deadly cancer.
 In catarrh of the stomach a good and safe treatment is to take before meals a teaspoonful of pure Bisurated Mag nesis in half glass of hot water as The hot water washes the mucous from the stomach walls and draws the blood to the stomach while the bisurated magnesia is an excellent solvent for the hot water treatment. Moreover the Bisurated Magnesia will serve as powerful but harmless antacid which will neutraliZe any excess hydrochlorlc acid that may be in your stomach and sweeten its food contents.
