SESSION IS AT ii
NATIONAL LEAGUE MAGNATES CON
CLUDE THEIR BUSINESS
AND ADJOURN -
CLAYING SCHEDULE ADOPTED
National Board of Arbitration Put
in (i Seven-Hour Session and
Announced Decisions in
Jinny Cases.
NEW YORK. Feb. 2S.—The National
League magnates concluded their annual
spring inciting at the Fifth Avenue
hotel today. Before adjournment, the
playing schedule for the coming season
was announced.
The national board of arbitration, con
sisting of A. 11. Soden, James Hart, John
T. Brush, F. Dellaas Roblson, Col. John
1. Rogers and President Young, went In
to session at 10:30 a. m. It took seven
hours to finish the business before them.
The official death knell of the Ameri
can association as an organization in its
present form was sounded. It is not im
probable, however, that a circuit of
Western clubs will be launched within a
few days under this title.
President Powers sent a letter to the
board, in which he gave up the tight for
his organization, saying the Eastern end
had gone to the wall under financial dif
ficulties. He then asked that the West
ern promoters be allowed to reserve their
territorial rights and to be allowed to
protect their players under contract for
the purpose of reorganizing under the
title of the American- association. The
circuit proposed includes Louisville, In
dianapolis, Fort Wayne, Dayton, Colum
bus, Mansfield and either Detroit, Grand
Rapids or Milwaukee.
If this scheme cannot be brought about
successfully it is probable that Indlap
apolls and Louisville will be taken into
the Western league
The promoters of the defunct associa
tion blame Col. John I. Rogers for the
smashing of the organization on account
of his lion in compelling the associa
tion team in Philadelphia to use league
grounds before he would consent to the
locating of a club in that city. The
rental was fixed at $5,400 for the year,
the association to pay all expenses for
employes, etc.
The 'hoard decided to protect W. H.
Watkins' interest at Indianapolis. With
the exception of Magoon and Hartzell,
who 50 to league clubs, the board, on
application of Mr. Watkins, decided to
protect him by allowing him to hold all
the players on his team, and also to pro
tect his territorial rights.
KICK FOR STROBEL.
Charles Strobel, the Toledo magnate in
the inter-state league, was turned down
hard by the National board in his pro
test against the Kansas City club of the
Western league. The Toledo .manage
ment failed to apply for protection with
in the prescribed time in the national
agreement. The Kansas City people took
advantage of the failure and signed five
of Mr. .-rebel's players. He protested,
but the board found, after hearing the
evidence, that inasmuch as Mr. Strobel
had failed to comply with the national
agreement, his players were free and at
liberty to sign with whom they pleased.
The application of the Western league
for protection with its original member
ship under the national agreement was
granted. _ VV- ' "
The board refused to grant the appli
cation of the Connecticut league to use
other than the regulation league ball in
championship games.
"Ma" McVicker's appeal to be re
leased from contract with the Omaha
club was granted. . -
McVlcker claimed that under the terms
of his original contract, he was exempt
from reservation.
Decision .was reserved upon the applica
tion of C. B. Kuhn, to be release*! from
the Syracuse club. The club was instruct
ed to.forward to the board proof of the
agreement between it and the player.
Kuhn claimed his release on the ground
that there was back salary due him.
The Chicago club was awarded the
services of Outfielder T. L. Hartzell, as
against the claim of the Cincinnati club
for the player. Under an agreement,
the Chicago club was to have first pick
of two players of the American league
for giving its consent to have the latter
organization place a club in Chicago a
year ago. That was before the fight be
tween the Ameiican and National leagues.
Late last year the Cincinnati club draft
ed Hartzell end played him in several
games. At the conclusion of the season,
the Chicago club decided to pick Hartzell
as one of the two players under the
pgreement with Ben Johnson. Cincinnati
wanted the player and. the case was car
ried to the National board with the above
result.
President Hart, of Chicago, tonight an
nounced that Jack Doyle had allixed his
signature to a Chicago contract. Doyle,
it is said, will probably captain the Chi
cagos this season.
Andrew Froedman made good his
threat and did not attend today's ses
sion of the magnates. He was represent
ed by Fred M. Kowles. Trie concensus
of opinion seemed to #be that Mr. Freed
man's proposed amendment to the con
stitution touching the question of "rowdy
ball," was entirely too sweeping. Mr.
Freedman quit the meeting in anger, be
cause of the failure of thi magnates to
act favorably on the amendment. W
The board of arbitration finished its
sessions shortly before 5 o'clock, and the
league went into session later. - The mag
nates immediately took up the schedule.
According to the schedule the season will
open April 18. New Yorks open at home
with Boston as the attraction at the
Polo grounds. Brooklyn opens the sea
son at Philadelphia, Pittsburg and Cm,
clnnatl open together at Cincinnati, and
Chicago begins the season with St. Louis
at St. Louis.
The Western clubs will be in the East
oil Memorial day, and the Eastern clubs
play in the West on Independence day.
St. Louis will be the attraction at the
Polo grounds on Memorial day, while the
Plttsburgs will entertain New York at
Pittsburg July 4. At Brooklyn, Pitts
burg will be the guest of the Brooklyn*
on May 30, while the Brooklyns will ap
pear at Chicago on the Fourth. .
The Western teams will be. in the East
on Labor day.
For the first time in many years the
Western clubs will invade the East first
and the Eastern teams will close the
•season in the West. /
. After closing the schedule the magnates
finished up some routine work and ad
journed.
Changes were made in the national
agreement to make it conform to the
action that had been taken by the mae
gates during the meeting. y S
r The majority of the magnates will
leave for their respective homes tomor
row.
SAIXTS BEAT MILLERS.
Meehiipic Art* Hockey Team Van
quixlienl *•( in licit Younsstcrs.
The Mechanic Arts hockey team of St
Paul, took another whirl at the 'Minne
apolis hockey team last evening, defeat
ing the locals by a score of C to 3. The
I^JPifiP IpllMv says the thpu^Wfulsnnoker

always the same riO<.
f£j HAfIT& MUftPHY, MAKERS, ST.BUJ,.
Saints were: in prime form, outplaying
the Minneapolis men and shooting the
little puck through the goal posts at will.
The Flour City players, while apparently
in good form, lacked the vim of their
opponents, putting no team work-in their
play and otherwise failing to come up to
the expectations of their followers.
While the contest was a one-sided affair
there was nevertheless some fast and
exciting playing at times. Both sides are
out to win, and all battled the best way
they knew how. Several exciting plays
'drove the crowd enthusiastic, and to a
great extent proved a" redeeming fea
ture to the contest. Lablatt and Grimes
were the star performers for the locals,
cutting in at every opportunity and caus
ing much trouble to the visitor Best
also played a good "game for "the Minne
apolis team. Cook and Kenny, the St.
Paul forwards, were the main figures in
the visiting aggregation. Both played
with vim and dash, scoring all the points
for their side. The remainder of the
team did good work also. The team lined
up in the following order:
Minneapolis—\Vh:teorr?b, goal; Shepherd,
point; Miller, cover point; Lablatt, Best,
Currie and Grimes, forwards.
St. Paul—Lamphere, goal; Wyman and
Culter. point; Merrick, cover point; Cook,
At water, Robinson, forwards.
MURPHY'S RINK WON.
Lennon & Gibbons Curlers* Play
King._ Around Omaha*.
Ed Murphy's rink of green curlers,
from Lennon & Gibbons, played circles
around the Omaha aggregation last night
at the Raspberry island rink, and won
out in a one-sided game by 22 to 7. Skip
Murphy claims that most of the credit
of the victory is due to him, but this is
strenuously disputed by the other players
on his side. Jack Elliott, of the uraahns,
admits defeat in a sportsmanlike man
ner, and his only excuse is that his en
were overtrained. The rinks wer*,:
Omaha—G. Gorman, Sidney B. Dean,
Jack Start, Jack Elliott, skip. 7. Len

J. Wagner, E. J. Murphy, skip, -2.
The next game for the winning team
will be against a rink picked from the
editorial department of the Globe.

GAVE DOWLING A GAVEL.
The feature of the evening was a pres
entation of a gavel to Speaker Dowllng.
The gavel Is made of ivory and has an
ebony handle. There Is a gold plate
on the head on which is inscribed:
"Presented to Hon. Michael John
Dowling, 1901, Speaker., of the House of
Representatives, by the Minnesota Edi
torial Association." The gavel was pre
sented by President Mitchell in an inter
esting speech. He said' in part:
"Minnesota is proud of its newspaper
men, and well it may be. The strongest
men we have in the state are newspaper
men. You can find them in both branches
of the legislature, and they are a credit
to those they represent and to them
selves. Two years ago we had a speaker
in the house who wa3 a knight of the
quill, and today we have a man of whom
We can say the same thing. He is a
man of sterling quality and can always
be depended upon in time of need. The
time will come when he will occupy a
higher position than the one he is hold
ing now. I said he was honest in all
that he does. If he had not been he
would have taken greater part in the
apportionment of the state. He would
have gotten his own county in the Sixth
district, and then things would have
come his way, for is he not an authority
on lumber? He has two wooden legs, and
when these were selected for him ordi
nary wood was not selected, for he Is not
an ordinary man. Rosewood was select
ed, the symbol of strength, beauty and
sterling worth. Handicapped as he is, he
climbs, the'ladder as well as any..
"Speaker Dowling, allow' me to present
this gavel.. We all know you will handle
it well, and perchance, the time will come
when you will have the chance to wield
it in a higher place."
The speaker replied by thanking the
association and by saying that, though
he was I not born in -■ the association, he
was ' married in it. Furthermore, he had
just received the news by telegram that
his second baby daughter had arrived.
At this news the cheering was prolong
ed.' '-'-AA'::-.^: ■ ,;■'..,:.':■:.;"-
A smoke social to the men of the as
sociation was next in order at. the. Ath

"stein" and a cigar, and "athletic exhi
bitions were given under the direction of
Jack Murphy. Wrestling and boxing and

"FACTORY GIRLS."
The Graceful and Handsome
Women who Work at
the Loom.
Any one who has lived in a factory
town and has seen the tide of human life
which floods the streets when the mills
stop for the day, will have been struck
by the number of graceful and handsome
young girls among the throng. Light
hearted, smiling, mirthful, it is hard to
realize that they have just left a day's
fatiguing work. But another sight at
tracts the onlooker. He sees groups of
other women, thin of form, dull of eye,
( 1'
languid of movement, and he realizes
that these were but a few years ago as
bright and happy as their younger fel
low-workers. It is natural to ask the
cause of such a physical change, which
is not to be explained by the stress and
strain of daily labor, because there are
not a few who, in spite of years of steady
work, retain the girlish attractiveness of
face and figure. Perhaps the most im
portant cause of this change is to be
found in the prevalence of ailments
peculiarly femiue, which drain the vi
tality and sap the strength. If the truth
were known it would be found that these
worn-out women had been working
under physical conditions, which, if a
man suffered them would be enough to
send him to bed. With tlirobing head
and aching back the wage earner plods
on, feeling that she cannot afford either
to rest or pay a physician's fees, and
every day sees her grow more weary and
more weak.
THERE'S NO NEED TO STOP WORK
or . pay expensive fees in order to be
cured of womanly diseases. Hundreds
of thousands of weak and sick women
have been made well and strong by the
use of Dr. Pierces Favorite Prescription:
It establishes regularity, dries the drains
which weaken women, heals inflamma
tion and ulceration and cures female
weakness. It makes weak women strong
and sick women well.
"A few years ago I suffered severely
with female weakness and had at times
dreadful pains," writes Mrs. V. Brown,
of Creswell, Harford Co., Maryland. +1
went to my doctor, and he gave me
medicine which did me good for a while,
but I would get worse again. I had a
sick headache nearly all the time ; was
so weak around my waist could hardly
bear anything to touch me. My feet
would keep cold and I could hardly do
my work. I would work a while and
then lie down a while ; was completely
run down. Suffered from disagreeable
drain and also severe pains at times.
After using five bottles of Dr. Pierces
completed at the cost of much patient
labor. ,

The sick woman who begins the use
of Dr. - Pierces Favorite Prescription
begins the cure with the first dose she
takes. Women who have suffered for
long years and found no help from doc
tors or other medicines have found a
perfect and lasting cure in the use of
" Favorite Prescription."
IT ALWAYS HELPS
and almost always cures. This state
ment is based upon the fact that of
the hundreds of thousands of women
who have used «Favorite Prescription",
ninety-eight per cent, have been per-!
fectly and permanently cured. Only
two women in each
hundred have failed of
a complete cure, and
even in these case
there has been marked
relief and improve
ment - the headache is
less frequent, the back
ache less severe, and
household duties long
laid aside are under
taken anew with com
fort and satisfaction. >
"I can truthfully say
that Dr. Pierces Fa
vorite Prescription is a
wonderful medicine and
deserves the praise given
it," writes Mrs. Emma
Spooner, of Lakeview,
Montcalm Co., Mich.,
Box 288. "I was sick
four months and the
medicine prescribed by
the doctors did me no
good. Finally I wrote
to Dr. R. V. Pierce for
his advice. He an
swered in a very kind
letter, instructing me
what to do. I followed
his advice, and to-day
am a well woman,
thanks to Dr. Pierce."
No woman should delay the use of
" Favorite Prescription " if she is suffer
ing from womanly disease. The longer
womanly disease is neglected" the greater
its effect on the general health, and the
slower the cure. There is no object
in experimenting with other medicines
when the experience of thousands of
women proves that "Favorite Prescrip
tion^ is the surest and safest of put-up
medicines for the cure of disease pecu
liarly womanly.
THE PRIVILEGE OF SICK WOMEN.
Sick and ailing women are invited to
consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, free. All
correspondence is sacredly secret and
the written confidences of women are
guarded by the same strict professional
privacy observed by Dr. Pierce and his
staff in personal consultations with
women at the Invalids' Hotel and Surg
ical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y. Address
Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
It is hardly possible to overestimate
the value of this free consultation by
letter with Dr. Pierce. In numerous
cases such as Mrs. Spooner's, when local
medical advice and treatment had failed
to give relief, a letter to Dr. Pierce has
been the means of restoring perfect
health.
Accept no substitute for " Favorite Pre
scription." The substitute.medicine is
only the shadow instead of the sub
stance and is pressed on the customer
because it pays the dealer a little more
profit than is paid by a high-class
standard preparation like "Favorite Pre
scription."

Borough of the R;onx, New York
City, v rites. "1 have been troubled
with headache upon arising ln the
morning, and e_»ed not for break
fast, and very often felt so bad that
I could not go to work at my trade
us roofer. I have often lost from one
to three days per week and often lost
my job, too, for not" reporting for
work. I have tried all the medicines
that I could think of, until my
brother-in-law gave me, about two
months ago, his bottle of Ripans
Tabules and told me to take one, two
or three times a day. and if they did
not give me relief in two days he
would pay for a wine supper. 1
would have liked to have had the
supper, but I must admit that I was
cured. The next morning I awoke
without a headache, and what is
more, I surprised my wife when I
asked for my breakfast. From that
day till this I am never without my
little bottle of Tabules in my v pocket
and have not lost a day's work since..
I cheerfully say that Ripans Tabules
are the only cure lor patients
. troubled likewise. I hope you will
find a space for this among your tes
timonials."
