LEAGUE MANAGERS WILL
CONTINUE ORGANIZATION
Penin-tuln Magnaten Hold .Meeting In
Hampton?Team Mny De Put
In I'ltoebun.
"~ [Spc'.1 to The Times-Dispatch.]
Newport News, Va.. February 27.?
The Peninsula Baseball League man?
agers held a meeting in Hampton to?
night, and decided to continue their
organization during the coming sea?
son, regardless of the formation or
the Tidewater League. The Newport
News athletics will continue in the
league, and it is proposed to put in
another team to replace the North
enders, who have agreed to soil out.
and quit ,n favor of the new league.
No assumneeh that Fort Monroe will
continue In the league were given,
but it was decided to put in a Phoebus
team if necessary. It was apparent
that tho leading Hampton fans, who
are backing the Hampton Peninsula
League team, will fight the Tidewater
organization to the limit, and It is
entirely problematical what patronage
a Tidewater team playing in Hamp?
ton will he able to draw.
The final refusal of Hampton to come
tnto the new arrangements means that
a team will be placed in Elizabeth
City. N. C._

FUTURE BOOKING
Syndicate Offers to Accept Bets
on Outcome of Pennant
Races. \
New York. February 27.?There were j
received here to-day by express from
Kentucky circulars of a betting syndi?
cate which offers to accept bets on the
outcome of the approaching pennan1
races In the National and American
Baseball Leagues, and the American
Association, and also on club against
Club series.
The circular caused some uneasiness
Among local baseball men, who were
quick to denounce the scheme, and It
Is understood that immediate steps
will be taken by the officials of the
National and American Leagues to
check, If possible, what they consider
a menace to the national game. Gamb?
ling has long been tabooed In profes?
sional baseball, and the feeling seems
general that If it is brought into the
game it will be to the detriment of a
sport that Ik now clean and healthy.
Some persons attribute tho new
scheme to bookmakers, whose revenue
has been cut off by the passage of antl
race-track betting laws. The syndi?
cate announces In its circular that It
It willing to accept hets of $5 or over,
which shall be sent by express, tele?
graph or telephone. According to the
"book" it has planned, S to 5 Is offered
that New York will not finish first In
the National League race. That the
Giants will not finish second 3 to f> is
offered, and for third place 1 to -f i>
quoted.
In tho American Leagvie, Philadelphia
is the favorite at 6 to f> to win, 1 to :>
for second place and 1 to 5 for third.
In addition to bets, on the pennant
races, the offer 1b made to lay odds
on the standing of the clubs In mid
season In fact, every sport ol imagin?
able combination for wagering Is of?
fered baseball enthusiasts.

"A man is as old as his arteries/' Old age is merely
a hardening of the arteries?and hardening of the
arteries comes from excessive eating of high-protein
food such as meat and eggs. Gut down the high
protein diet for awhile and eat Shredded Wheat. It
supplies all the body-building material in the whole
wheat prepared in a digestible form. Of course
will not "cure" appendicitis?nor will any other cereal food. The
excessive eating of indigestible foods, however, gradually brings on
stomach and bowel disorders?and these can be prevented by a
daily diet of thoroughly cooked cereals. Shredded Wheat is best
for this purpose because it is steam-cooked, shredded and twice .
baked, retaining the bran coat, which is so valuable in keeping
the bowels healthy and active, f
Heat the Biscuit in the oven to restore erispness and serve with'hot or cold milk and a little cream,
adding salt or sugar to suit the taste. It also makes delicious combinations with stewed or preserved
fruits. Two Shredded Wheat biscuits with stewed fruit makes a wholesome nourishing meal.

CONTEST OF PARSONS
IS AGAIN LIVE ISSUE
Attempt Being Made to Have House Give Him
Seat Now Held by Judge
S?unders.
Washington. D. C, February 21,?
The Parsons-Saunders contested elec?
tion case from tiio Fiftii Virginia Dis?
trict, which was believed to have been
put out of the way for all time several
weeks ago, when the report of the
Committee on Flections, declaring the
seat In Congress now held by Judge
Saunders to belong to Stote Senatoi
John M. Parsons, was sent back to the
committee, suddenly came to life to?
day. The committee held a meeting for
the purpose of getting tho report he
fore the House during the present
week in order, if possible, to have Mr.
Parsons declared by the House to be
entitled to the place, and to award him
the salary for two years and expenses,
which amount to about ?18,000.
Two months ago. on motion of Chair?
man Miller, of tho Elections Committee,
the report, which previously had been
made, was referred back to the com?
mittee. This was taken by tho friends
of Judge Saunders to mean that for
all time the matter was dead. It turns
out now, however, that it was for tho
purpose of permitting certain changes
to be made in the report which prob?
ably would be in the interest of Mr
Parsons. One of the Republican mem?
bers, who is anxious to have tho lat?
ter seated now, is Congressman Ben?
nett, of New York. He has beon a
strong supporter of Parsons since tho
case got before the committee, last
.sear, and lias not lost an opportunity
to testify to the sentiment of tho House,
on the question of whether or not it
would vote to oust Judge Saunders
and seat Parsons. It appears now that
he lias reached the conclusion that if
a vote is had at this time Parsons may
win, therein- entitling him to the $1S,
000.
If the committee decides at to-mor?
row's meeting to report the bill again
It will be nt least Wednesday or
Thursday before It can come before tho
House, and a little filibustering now
probably would keep it down alto?
gether. On the other band, If the ro
port Is brought In and the Democrats
are caught napping Parsons may be
declared entitled to the seat, every day
now being suspension day under tho
rules of the House. with anything
privileged to be voted on which may
meet the approval of Speaker Cannon.
AMUSEMENTS
Academy of Manic?Dark,
Bijou?".My Cinderella Gin?'? mntince
and nlpbt.
1.11 hin?? Vaudeville.
Farce With .Music.
Of the big audience that filled the
Bijou last night, a great majority
seemed to enjoy tho performance, so
that the personal opinion of one man
should not bo considered by those who
contemplate going later In the week.
"My Cinderella Girl" is a farce some?
what after the order of those of the
lamented Hoyt, and In the hands of a
competent company would doubtless bo
exceedingly amusing. John S. Marble,
the stage manager, who also played
an old man part, showed real ability.
Alice Clark sang well and pleasingly,
handicapped as she was by the ruffian?
ly laughter of some young men who
chose that method of showing their
musical cultivation ajtd their superior
contempt for a young woman who was
doing her honest best to entertain the
audience.
The rest of the company also ran.
However, the house roared with laugh?
ter, and showed, by Its generous ap?
plause, that the performance was
more than satisfactory to the regular
patrons of tho popular priced play?
house. W. D. Q.

COAST ARTILLERY
CORPS DISBANDED
(Continued From First Pago.)
to serve. The disappointment to mil?
itary officer Is that the Virginia Coast
Artillery, with everything which a gov?
ernment particularly partial to them
could give, should havo turned out to
be such a disgrace to the State as to
call for Its summary and dishonorable
d'smlssal,
Order of Executive.
The Governor's order, embracing tho
recommendations of the court of in?
quiry, is as follows:
"The court Is of the following
opinion:
"Discipline in uny sense of tho word
does not exist in the Coast Artillery
Corps of Virginia Volunteers. Tho
most glaring breaches of discipline
have been passed over without notice
being taken of them, save In some
cases a personal reprimand was given.
Case after case has occurred wherein
enlisted men were allowed to treat offi?
cers disrespectfully and nobody was
punished therefor. Tho ofilcers do not
seem to reaiize their responsibility be?
yond their own respective commands,
and only In a few cases do thoy seem
to feel any responsibility at all.
"The attendance of this corps upon
their duties at Fort Monroe in August,
1910, was in the nature of an outing
j or picnic, in so far as a great number
of tho enlisted men wore concerned,
md In so far as any effective stops wore
taken by the ofilcors to persuade the
men that they were there ns a mili?
tary organization for military service
The efficiency and discipline of tho
companies of this corps rank In the
following order: The Fourth Company
the Third Company, the F'rst Company
&nd the Second Company. The ofilcors
of tho entire corps uro disorganized
and demoralized. As a corps the dis?
cipline and efficiency thereof cannot
be characterized, for there is none. Tho
officers and men in great part seem t .
be Ignorant of the fundamental duties
and responsibilities of a soldier, and
little or no effort lias been made to
remedy this fundamental defect. It
has boon the habit and altitude of the
, ntire corps to let things take their
course, in the hopo that the very worst
of conditions would he remedied by
the election of a major. Discipline
cannot he acquired or maintained by
entire absence of any effort to pro?
mote that end. It is hardly necessary
to add thnt this court entirely concurs
In the report of Colonel Townsley and
Ills officers upon the discipline and
efficlenoy of the Coast Artillery Corps,
Virginia Volunteers.
"Tho court, begs to recommend that
tho Coast Artillery Corps of Virginia
Volunteers be mustered out of the
service of tho Commonwealth of Vir?
ginia, and that one company be or?
ganized In Norfolk and one company in
"Right Medicine
for Grip."
So writes Mr. Hay Lymnngrover. He
was cured two years ago and ever
since he has been one of Duffy's
most nrdcnt endorsers.
"After an- attack of grip two years
ago I was left in a very weak and run?
down condition. On advice of a friend
I tried Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey and
found it just the right thing. I noticed
a steady gain in strength from the start.
Have user! considerable of your valuable
medicine and find it to be the very best.
I assure you I will advise my friends when
needing a good tonic and cure for grip to
take Duffy's."?Ray Lymangi-over, 547
Oakwood Avc., Toledo, Ohio.
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey
is a wonderful remedy in the prevention
and cure of consumption, pneumonia,
grip, bronchitis, coughs, colds, asthma,
malaria, low fevers, stomach troubles and
all wasting, weakening and diseased con?
ditions, if taken as directed. You should
have it in your home. It will do you good.
It. has been before the public for half
a century, and its curative value has never
been questioned. Its success in curing
disease has caused many unreliable deal?
ers to put up substitutes and imitations
with which to fool the people, claiming
that their substitutes "arc just as good
as" Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, but they
are thinking of their profits only. Insist
on the genuine.

in this corps who have tried to do
