Money NEW SCHEDULE 1 TO BE SHORTER Baseball Season Lasted Too Long Last Year on Account of Late Start. HAVE FEWER OFF DAYS Same Number of Games to Be Played in Briefer Time Behring to Submit Drafts. The Three-Eye league delegates did not devote much time to discussing next year's schedule at their meeting in Chicago Monday, but it was quite evident that they were not entirely satisfied with the schedule which they followed last season. The concensus of opinion seemed to be that the sea son ought to begin earlier than it did last year and close considerably earlier. Last year the first game on the schedule took place May C and the final contest was played Sept. 20. This made it necessary to play 140 games, exclusive of ties and postponed games, in 147 days, and towards the end '-f the schedule the interest began to las, as the weather was more like foot ball than baseball weather. There was no disposition on the pari of the clubs to change the num ber cf fames to be played during the year, but all of them were of the opin ion that the schedule ought to begin earlier. In the meeting it was sug gested that there be fewer off. days and t';at the number of d:iys covered by the schedule bj the same as the number of games to be played. Dekrlaer to Draft Schedule. Wilson Behring cf Decatur, who is generally lecognized as one el' the best men in the country at drafting a schedule, has beca called upon to s"J i init three drafts of a schedule for next year. He was asked to commence the games about a week earlier than last year, or about May 1, and to closo about two weeks earlier than last year, which would end the schedule aboul Sept. 15. Another probable feature of the schedule this year will be the break ing away from the old idea that on every holiday the two cities nearest together ought to be matched against each other. For instance, oa Memo rial day, the Fourth of July and Labor day. Rock Island and Davenport have always been opponents, and the del? gatua believed that the patrons of the game are getting tired of having the same old holiday opponents each year. The mileage can Le cut down consider ably by carrying out this change and at the sara3 time the holiday patrons will get to see a new team in action. To Meet in January. It is expected that Mr. Bearing will be able to submit several drafts cf schedules, at the meeting which the league directors will hold in January at the call of President Al Teamcy. If any of the drafts are acceptable t will be taken by the league and adopt t d at once in order that it may be .Tinted early in the season for thi benefit of those who wish to know the locations of the different teams o.i certain days.

Hyomei Is a wonderful antiseptic, so powerful that it promptly destroys germ life, yet its action on the mu cous membrane is extremely sooth ing and healing. It relieves catarrh in five minutes; it cures in a few weeks or money back. It is made chiefly of eucalyptus and eucalyptol taken from the eucalyptus forests of inland Australia. The med ical profession knows that eucalyptus is an absolutely certain germ destroy er and with the active principles of eucalyptus as a base Hyomei is made more efficient, pleasant and quick act ing by the addition of Thymol, an antiseptic and disinfectant largely employed in the Listerian system. Guaiacol and other important medi cinal agents are also included in the Hyomei formula, which, without doubt, is the greatest destroyer of catarrh germs the world has ever known. Hyomei Is a powerful, penetrating antiseptic that is pleasant to use. It does not contain a particle of cocaine, opium or any habit-forming or in jurious drug. No dosing the stomach when you use Hyomei. Just breathe it in through the small inhaler that comes with every outfit. Sold by leading drrggista everywhere and in Rock Island by H. O.

He looks like a living ad for the newest breakfast food, and then some, but he is a wrestler of - class and Frank Gotch, who meets him for the world's championship at Buffalo, N. Y., Thanksgiving night, has a wholesome respect for him. " Since coming to this country a few weeks ago Zbyszko has downed every thing he has gone up against, includ ing our restaurant fare, and has not, as yet, beea compelled to show his limits. It is now impossible for him to get as a rule, anything but handicap matches, in which he is compelled to throw three or more men at one round, or to down a man in a limited time. Jlaa Worthy Opponent. When he appears at Davenport, how ever, he will have a sturdy man to meet. His opponent will be John Gor don of Minneapolis, the champion po liceman, he having defeated Rooney of Chicago some time since. Gordon is also after Gotch's title and means to forco the lowan into a match, 'f possible. Regardless of the outcome of the contest at Buffalo tomorrow night the go in Davenport Dec. 7, which will take place at the Burtia, ought to be good sport. MT.GARROLLLOSES Rock Island Y. M. C. A.

ABSENCE OF LI ITT HURTS High Hopes to -Win Nevertheless Moline aud Davenport Play 'Annual Game. Tomorrow winds up the football sea son in this vicinity and in practically all parts of the country. Furthermore the exhibitions tomorrow may be the last of the present style of football which are ever given. There has been so much agitation for a change ia thj rules that it seems inevitable that they will come and that when another year rolls around the game of footLall will be materially changed. Rock Island high school plays its last game of the year at Exposition park with the high school team from Peoria and the Turkey day contest ought to be a good o::e. Both teams have put up a good class of ball this year and so far as scores go they ap pear prettily evenly matched. The local team will not present its fu.'l strength, as Captain Dick Liitt will not be in the game. The backfield will suffer by his absence to a considerable extent, but Coach Gray feels that he has enough good men available to make his backstop strong enough to score beveral times on the visitors. Just what combination will be used has not been decided as yet, but the players from whom it will be chosen arc Ilk he, MaeManus, Canty, Sal. r.iana and Kittilsen. The line will pre sent its uMial aolid front and the coach doer, not fi-ar that the Peoria boys will be able to put up a strong offensive game. Moline at Davenport. The only other game of note in the tri-cities fcr Thanksgiving day is the contest in Davenpoit batween Moline and Davenport high schools. The lowans are confident of winning the contest on account of their having held Clinton to a tie game recently aud alo on account of the lack of con dition oa the -vxrt of the Moiine team. The follower of the maroon and white are gri y- worried about the outcome cf th. prae, as several of th ir strongest men are in no fit con dition to play. In case the Daven porters win the game they will claim t!ic tri city championship, a title which lias not been clear for two years. SGHRECKISAMARK Langford Stands Kim Up in a Corner and Punches Him to Finish. STOP FIGHT IN 12 SECONDS 1'iiiseo at Pittsburg Does Xot Im prove 1 Estimate of Colored Middleweight. Pittsburg. Pa.. Nov. 24. If Sam Langford by disposing of Mike Sehreck of Cincinnati in quick order, expects to get credit and hurrah, fur- ,'tbt'iing hid ambitions to meet John-if-on, he' will be disappointed. And if any more such matches are put on in I'iirsburg, the fighting game, now booming as well as any city in the country, will get a set back. Sehreck, who wobbled into the ring, carrying fat amidship, a-beam and ev ery place else, iaaJe a feeble attempt to punch the negro, and Langford, pin ning him r.p in his corner, was batter ing away at his head, while Pchreek'.s arms were at his side, when the ffght was stopped. It went about 12 sec onds. Then poor, old, fat Sehreck, having done his part of being beat u;), was led away. Langford then said he had $10,0i)0 with a New York news paper for a fight with Johnson. In this bout Billy Corcoran, the pro moter, secured a good house by stag ing Langfond. Langford took no chances with old Sehreck. Langford stood to make fight fans notice by dis posing of the Cincinnati man in jig time. Any fighter could have dropped Sehreck in the condition he was In when ho entered the ring last night. The whole bout was a fizzle, and the big crowd that turned out for it was not slow in saying so. Bnrry Knock Oat Cnllowny. Boston, Nov. 24.

Eddy Gra ney, the prize fight referee, left for New York yesterday with a check for $5,000 which he intends to place as a forfeit for a bid he will make for the Jeffries-Johnson bout. Graney will ni say what the amount of his bid will be, but intimated that it would be at least $100,000. Graney plans to obtain a permit to hold the fight within the city limits here, and claims that if .':e is successful he can afford to bid more than James Coffroth, whose arena 's in an adjoining county. TWO OUT OF THREE HEATS TO DECIDE American Association of Trotting Horse Breeders Does Away With ii Out of 5. New York, Nov. 24. Two out of three heats will hereafter constitute a victory in trotting races recogniz ed by the American Association of Trotting Horse Breeders, according to an announcement made at the an nual meeting of the association in New York last night. In a vote tak en by mail replies were received from nearly one-half of the 839 mem bers of the association and opposi tion tj the three-in-five races was rogwrfered by a vote of 3 0 5 to 3 8. The proposal made last year for the establishment of a national stake for the trotting championship of the Tinted States was renewed at yester day's meeting by Frank J. Kilpat rie.k of Santa Rosa, Cal., and W. E. Stokes of Kentucky. United Statet Senator Joseph W. Bailey of Texas, president of the association, who pre sided, said that the national cham pionship idea had the approval of the association and that the plan would be taken up for action when $20,000 stakes were guaranteed.

He is James Freeman Curtis ' 'of Boston, also the home of Mr. Reynolds, and when he was in Harvard, class of '99, he held the collegiate championship. Secretarj of the Treasury Mac Veagh, who has known him for sever al years, laughingly admits that he called Mr. Curtis' golfing record to President Taft's attention when rec ommending him for appointment as one of his assistants. Mr. Curtis, however, possesses oth er qualifications to make him a val uable member of this administration. He is at present assistant district at torney at Boston. Another Record Smashing Stock Show at Hand. Once more the International Live Stock exposition, which will be held ia Chicago from Nov. 27 to Doc. 10, has accomplished the seemingly impossible by again showing a most phenomenal increase in entries. Once more all past records have bevn demolished and once more we are brought to realize that interest is growing in this, the greatest of live stock shows this lead ing exponent of the live stock industry and that this great annual event is becoming more popular from 3-ear to year. Even though feeding operations have been exceedingly light during the past year, we still find an increased number of entries in the cattle depart ment. The draft horse exhibit will be the greatest ever seen In this or ajty other country. Horses, whose lineage dates back into the dark ages, will be seen in tho ring beside the most splen did specimens of the English and Scot tish types, whose equals have never before been brought together in such numbers in the history of the show ring. The number of exhibitors in the sheep department exceeds that of any previous year, and in quality their ex hibits will far surpass anything ever seen here in the past, as the entries show them to contain some of the choicest importations made to this country hi recent years. In the swine department all the lending types will again be represented and the quality will be superior to that of any show ever seen on this continent. All these and many other new features give promise of making the coming exposi tion the greatest in the history of this splendid series of events, and no one, be he ever so distantly connected with j live stock- the rifht arm of our basic I industry, agriculture can afford to miss this exceptional opportunity for education, entertainment and a pleas ure trip in one.
