SCHEDULE IS SAME National and American Leagues will Play 154 Games Com ing Season. MOVE TO SHORTEN FAILt National Opens in West at Cincinnati and St. Louis Americans at ' Chicago and Detroit Cincinnati, Ohio, Jau. S. The ..Na tional and American leagues will open their seasons.-on April 14 this year, three days later than their 1907 inaug ural. The Chicago Cubs will start the race in this city. Pittsburg will open in St. Louis and the American league openings will fall to the lot of Chicago and Detroit. These were the more in teresting facts gleaned from the mem bers of the joint schedule committee who met here yesterday. Although the American league rep resentatives desired a later opening and a return to the HO game schedule which existed "before the war," the National's committee was firmly in favor of the 154 game schedule which has been in force for several years. Their only concession was delajing the opening date three days later than last spring. Alternate Opeuiu. The choice of cities for opening dates was made by alternation, the American league having had the open ing in St. Louis last year, that priv ilege belonging to the veteran league this year and the American clubs will be compelled to start playing in Chi cago, where the Cubs opened last year and in another of their northern cities. After playing Cincinnati the world's champions will go to St. Louis for a series before appearing on their own grounds. the noiiday dates were agreed upon in the same way by the joint committees, but their arrange ment was not made public, except the fact the Cincinnati club waived claim to any holiday dates.

Nowhere in America has- such care been taken to put a company on the road with more com pleteness. than that exercised by the managers of "Toyland." Especial at tention has been taken in selectini the chorus. While it is not necessary in the usual rim of companies to have) chorus people absolutely perfect in voice, this is one of the main reasons why "Toyland" is a success: what is considered a good principal in the or dinary musical production, are the requisite of the chorus in this com pany.'

JOE WALC0TT IS GROWING TOO OLD Shows Age in Battle with Jimmv Gardner at Boston Couion-Mur-phy Fight Tonight. Boston, Jan. 8. The Armory Ath letic club opened its new house last night with a bout between Joe Wal- eott and Jimmy Gardner. The go be tween those old local favorites, Wal- cott and Gardner, was down for 12 rounds, and it went the limit, but it was a disappointment. Walcott has begun to show his age, and was no match for the Lowell man, who had the jump on the colored boxer in every round. In fact, Gardner so clearly out classed his burly opponent that two or three times he could have scored a knockout had he been so inclined.

SOME TOWNS ARE ISOLATED Epidemics Reported by Board of Health in 27 Communities in 17 Counties. For the first time for many years in the history of Illinois, according to the state board of health, cities and villages are being brought into a con (lition of complete stagnation through the invasion of smallpox. In some lo cahties all holiday festivities were abandoned at the order of the state board of health, while in others schools will remain closed, churches will abandon their services and all meet ings of every character will be declar ed off. The outlcok in the slate is t;aid to be exceedingly grave. In 27 communi ties scattered throughout It counties. smallpox prevails in epidemic form and new cases are being reported by every mail. New communities are ac quiring the disease and not only spreading it among their immediate neighbors, but are contributing to the widespread invasion throughout the state. UIH .ol Ilrr.l Warning. The unfortunate feature of this t;i demic is that it might have been large ly if not entirely avoided if the people of the state had heeded the warnings o? the state board "of health issued fully six months ago.- At that time the bulletin of the board called attention to the unusual prevalence of smallinix for that time of the year and prophe sied that, unless something out of the ordinary was done, Illinois would be visited with a blighting pestilence of smallpox during ,the present winter. Aside from a campaign of educa'ion however, the Illinois state board of health is carrying out a drastic policy of supervision. The recent amend meiits to ihe state board of health act give the board power to assume con trol of municipalities in case the life and health of the people are not af forded sufficient protection by local authorities. $ $ $ $ I THE BEST WAY I '.'.'
