OMB regret la felt at the revolt of the
S Irish-American Athletic associstlen
cf New York against President Hal
pin of the American comralttie to
elect competitor for the Olympic
a-amra In London next summer. Br Ita ac
tion the Irish-Amerk an club la likely to d
frlve the American team of the services of
rnany athlete who have ahown their prow
ess on the field, and whose strength and
kill may be needed to bring home the hon
ors. But It Is a bad ign when sne rlub
undertakes to dominate the affairs of a
nation s athletic organisations. The Amer
ican Amateur Athletic Vnlon la a bigger
body than a single club, even If all the
champions that ever wrre the laurels were
fathered into that club. A more patriotic
and sportsmanlike spirit would be for the
Irish-American club to register Its protest
agaJnst Halpln, and then come on In and
five to the American Olympian team the
on or it services. IT Halpln la forced to
select men from outside the rebellious or
ganisation, and suoceeds In winning, the
portion of the Irish-American Athletic as
sociation will not be pleasant, and If Amer
ica loses because of the absence of euch
men as Flannarran arid his associates the
chagrin will not bring any credit to the
men who now seek to dlctste. The condi
tio Is not encouraging, but the determina
tion of President Halpin Is likely to be sup
ported by the best of Amerlcsn sportsmen.
George Tebeau serve notice on the Sport

Mm In the future. The S;ortlr.g News

admits that It has been antagonistic to
Tebeau. and asserts that this opposition
hss been one of Its most valuable assets."
The wheels of the gods grind slow, but
grind. Outlsws and outlawry In bsse ball
are slowly but surely coming to their doem.
Individuals who have been injurious to
the game for several years because of
their unscrupulous. Indefensible methods,
like their kind In any other spnere of pub
lic enterprise, when cornered, die hsrd:
they resort to ell sorts of sophistry snd
Muff to divert attention from the central
point, their own culpability, and arouse
false sympathy In their U-half. Th line
if policies pursued by the men who have
ought to and have succeeded In dominat
ing the Western league and American as
sociation affairs, will lead Inevitiibly to
ruin for themselves and their leagues, un
less cut off and diverted Into a channel of
legalised activity by acme power with a
motive other than personal aggrandisement
tr selfish environment. When the Sport
ing News condemns ownership of more
than one team by a single man In any
league It condemns a policy and Influence
which carry the seed of ultimate destruc
tion to organised base ball and the paper
deserves the commendation of true friends
of hase ball for such a stand. It Is prc
rlretj this spirit of avaricious combine and
love of power that has afflicted the West
ern league snd kept it from attaining the
results so esally obtained If only lawful
methods ;i:ild hae been employed in the
nanasA-rivent.

IRISH-AMERICAN A. A REVOLT
(Continued from Psge One.)
for the statement that Sheehan will be

Sill Ste a Arc Star.
America's mllers Include: Ughtbody. the
two time l.WO-metre world's champion;
Haskins. who ran 4 J9 lsst spring; Sullivan,
the rejuvenated Irish-Amerlcen Athletic
club runner, who ha done 4 3; Coe of
Michigan and Lewis of Cornell, both J
men, and Fred Rodgers of the New York
Athletic club, who ha a 4:21 race to his
credit also. Of the string the most likely
appear to be Lightbody and Haskins.
Light body Is a wonderful runner. When In
condition he has never been pushed In a
mile race, and proved on the trip to
Athrns thst he can travel a bit, too. with
out losing his running form. Haskins,
though he haa a powerful mile to his credit,
has hardly been as consistent as Light
body, but It he Is In shspe to run one of
his great races at London, something will
happen. At any rate, with this great
bunch of mld-distancers It seems certain
that Vncle Sam will glesm. tnsnv telling
points in these races providing his men are
all on the ground. In the qusrter-mlle snd
half-mile the Americans must be granted
an even chance to win the honors, while In
the mile our chances are about one in
three. Thia state of affairs, months before
the big gsmes, is eminently satisfactory.

A truly Idyllic stste of affairs prevails
In Calhoun county, Illinois, according to
the news which seeps through the inter
vening distance separating that favored
community from the outer world.' Cal
houn county has no railroads and conse
quently is not afflicted with tramps. Thus
one of the most prolific sources of day
labor Is not available to the authorities
of Calhoun county, as peripatetic offend
ers sgalnst town ordinsnces In thst part
of the country cannot be secured to w-ork
out fines under the wstchful eye of rosd
overseers.
In lieu of hoboes, however, the home
supply of disorderlies Is drawn upon, and
the authorities have devised an admirably
working system whereby they get fines
worked out, but do not have to fed the
tollers In the meantime. In considera
tion of enjoying all the comforts of
hqrae literally and In reality, the citlxens
of Calhoun county who so far forget
themaelves ss to fracture any town ordi
nance or law affecting the county agree
to board at home and wwrk out their fines
during their leisure hours.
This delightful system robs arrest of
many of Its most unpleasant drawbacks.
In fact, it la almost a pleasure to be put
constructively Into Jail. Punishment be
comes a mere Incident and expiation only
a form. Nobody ever objects to being
arrested, and the officials of Hardin, the
county seat, were greatly put out the

NEW YORK. Jan. 4-Manager McGraw
has completed all his arrangements for the
spring training trip of the New Tork Na

with the Dallas and Fort Worth club to
use their grounds during Msrch for all
gsmes. Marlln Pprlngs. a short distsnes
from Dallas, haa been selected for train
ing purposes.
It Is planned to send Ground Keeper
John Murphy ahefd so that the grounds
will be In condition for playing ball from
the start. All the paraphernalia will be
shipped at that time, consisting of push
ball, medicine balls, bats. etc.. so thst on
the arrlvsl of tl.e advance guard every
thing will be in readineas for active work.
McOraw will arrive about February 3D.
and it Is his plsn to hsve all his young
player report at that time so that he can
get a-.llne on thalr capabilities before the
arrival of the regulars on Msrch 1.
Games will be played every Saturday and
Sunday In March with the Dallas and Fort
Worth tesms. It being the plan to divide
the team so ftist games csn be played In
both cities on the same date. It la also
possible that a series of games will be ar
ranged with the Washington club of the
American league some time In March. The
final game at Dallas will be played on
April 6. when the team will atart for home.
On April and 7 they will play at Little
Rock, on April 9 at Columbua. on April
W at Wheeling, arriving In New Tork on
the morning of April 11. when they will
follow the time honored custom of opening
with Yale university; on April 1J the Jersey
City team of the Eastern league will
appear st the Polo grounds, snd on April
14 the Newark team of the Eastern league
will play at the Polo grounds. It Is poi

plans so that It can appear at the Polo
grounds on April la.

U. Last spring April 14 wss opening day
The Oiants played on a field from which
the snow had been removed In the morn
ing, and the Yankees had a similar ex
perience In Washington. A low tempera
ture all over the country frosted the In
augurals in other cities, and the managers
loudly bewailed a schedule that forced
them to bring pitchers up from a hot cli
mate and put them to work In freezing
weather.
The week's difference will help a little,
but not much. April 22 was once con
sidered the limit for early openings, but
the 164 game schedule brought about the
disagreeable change. The cold weather has
been responsible for many good pitchers
going wrong In the first month of the
sesson. Instead of framing. Independent
schedules the two big leagues will put the
selection of the dates up to a Joint schedule
committee In the spring.

GOOD YEAR FOR AMATEURS
(Continued from Tage One.)
men were pretty well aware of what Ne
braska wants for next year and as soon
ss their own alignment is announced the
Nebraska management will be able to close
dates which have been hanging firs till
the big games could be arranged.
As sjon as dates for the big gsmes are
definitely arranged the completion of tht
schedule aa a whole will be an easy matter.
Manager Eager is being deluged by appli
cations from Missouri valley tesms of
strength for games. The Is test applicant
Is Wsshburn university of Topeka, which
lajrt season defeated Kansaa university the
Saturday before the Jayhawkera went down
to defeat before Nebraska. Washburn be
lieves it is entitled to a place on Nebraska
Hat on account of Its showing during the
lsst two or three years. The chief objec
tion to the scheduling of the game Is that
Washburn is not well known In Lincoln,
and its strength is not appreciated by
many of the followers of Cornhuaker atu
lettcs. A defeat at the hands of the aouih
triurt would be by no means out of the
question should they be played, and the
Nebraska managers are not anxious to
encounter such a disaster at the bands of
a team which is generally considered out
of Nebraska's class. On the other hand
the showing of Waahburn laat year makea
the game one to be desired in order to
settle the claims the Kansans advanced
this year, and they may yet be given a
place on the schedule.
Farmers A Is Aaaloas.
Another strong Kansas college, the 6tst
Agricultural school at Manhattan, is also
bringing to bear all the pressure it can
summon to Induce the Nebraska managers
to give It a game next fall. Manhattan is
of the same cfaaa as Waahburn, having de
feated Kansas university In lioS and played
a strong game throughout the last season.
It la hardly likely that both Washburn
and Manhattan will be given games, even
if one of them lands, but that both want
to meet the Cornhuskers the worst sort is
evidenced by the amount of postage they
sre expending on letters to Manager Eager
With a game with Kansas university, there
la a strong proliabllily this expenditure on
the part of the Jayhaw-kvrs' rivals Is
uaeless. but the Nebraska Athletic board
msy look st the matter differently when
the time comes.
Knox college, which until last year had
been a regular opponent of the Cornhus
kers for several seasons, is s third aspirant
for a trouncing at the hands of the Corn
huskers. Knox was in the habit a number
of years ago of turning out teama that
were noted for clean, hard playing, which
won their college a place In western ath
letic which the amall enrollment of the
Institution did not seem to warrant. Al
though never auccecding In beating Ne
braska, the Illlnolans were always welcome
visitors to Nebraska field on account of
their dean sportsmanship, and It Is more
than likely that a game will be arranged
with them for next year. The reason they
were not played In 1W7 was that the re
form wave struck Knox with blighting
effect, threatening for a time to result In
the abolishment of foot ball there. The
team escaped this fste, but was hampered
throughout the season by various obsta
cles, played a light schedule, and had a
hard time of generally. With a return to
normal conditiona, Knox would be expected
to afford one of Nebraska's most attrac
tive games.

SAYS THIS DRUGGIST
"Of course yon can easily create a big demand by advertising, for al
most any article whether it possesses merit or rot. Especially is that true
of medicines. The great trouble with so many remedies is Ihey won't 're
peat'. The demand for them ia abort lived. Teople buy them once and
that's the last call for them. I have noticed a vast dirrence in the case
of HEATrrtMfUr' I m forced to the conclusion that it is because 'they are
different' from other laxatives. With but two or three exceptions all the
people who received the free box of "EASTHNCW" hve come in and bought
more. Our customers say there's nothing like "lASYTlrlCaXT. 'or constipation, in
dig ettioa and other stomach troubles. They are real
ly the most satisfactory sellers we have in the store
and the demand for them is constantly increasing."
