Vndor this plan each club would play four game nt home and foltr abroad with each team of the other league, op sixty-four game In all, 'n which teams of tha National leasue would be pitted against American league teams. ;. , .ln tuber of Usmn, Each club would thu rday 179 pames durln? the aeason. which Would start about April 10 and close about October 16. The old world's championship series would lie eliminated, If being; calculated that the team -winning the. greatest number of games In the whole season would be de serving of a real world's championship title. From statements attributed to President Johnson, there seems lltble probability that the American league would take kindly to the plan for this season at least. It was Indicated that the American league season would he I'kely to betfln about April 12 and consist of the usual 1M games. What the other National league magnate thought about the new lnter-league sched ule proposition had not been developed up to the time the club representatives got to gether for the day' business.

He was born on April 8, 18J1, and he engaged In his first Important flgnt.when 24 years of age. In fact he beat Blusher Blacy In nine rounds, but In those days tho facilities for puglllstlo encounter were' not quite so great a they are today and It was not until about eighteen hiouths later that he met Pill Thorne, whom Mace defeated after a con test which lasted for eighteen rounds. Ills next fight was a lotting one, for he waa beaten' In two rpunds by Bob Brattle. Thut wa In September, 1S6S, but the fol lowing Junumy, Mace made amend and regained the confidence of his admirers by beating i'onh Price !h 'eleven rounds. In 1M2 Muce Jmet Tom King in January for iti0 and 1 tbe championship, and beat him after a terrible oontest, which lasted for forty-three rounds. The men met again In the eume yuar, when, In November, King turned, the tables on his opponent In twenty-one rounds. Mace's next appearance In a contest fof the championship was In when he drew l'h Joe Gosa. He had beaten (Joss thrve years before, and when they met agaliu Mace defeated his old op ponent In twenty-one rounds. In 1HG7 Maoe . contested the title and a pure of iJuo a 1 le with K.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14-Renewal of the fight on the rules which signalised the Inst session was precipitated today by Repre sentative Hughes of New Jersey. The question under conslde-atlon Was whether a bill for the codification and re vision of the laws relating to the Judiciary, consideration of which occupied all Inst Wednesday, should again be taken ur to day, simply on the call of the chairman of the committee, representing the measure. The question wa raised by Mr. Hughes after the house met and after Represen tative Moon of Pennsylvania, chairman of the committee on revision of the laws, had asked that the house proceed with the consideration of the bill for codifying the Judiciary laws. Representative Fitzgerald of New York led the democratic side of the house In opposing consideration of the bill. He declared that the house under the rules could decide for Itself what business It shall consider.

After the first three-quarters Kohler of the Idaho team emerged with a bandage round his head and others were limping, but It did not matter, for Idaho won with 19 points to nothing. They received the challenge cup from tne duke of Man chester. "It's a great game," said Columbus, A. B. of .the Idaho, with his mouth full of sponge, "but the ground's too soft to fall on here.

In 1909 twenty-three American league players succeeded in securing twenty or more sacrifice hits during the season, last year twenty-two were enrolled upon this particular scroll of fame. The twenty three high guns of 1909 made 643 sacrlfce hits as campared to 541 mode by the twenty-two high men of 1910, a difference of 102. Ilalldogr Is Drake Fiublrm. DES MOINEB, la..

On all streets on which there are street car tracks, and on ell hills which cross or terminate on streets having street car tracks, there is a CONSTANT DANGER to those indulging in the exhilarating sport of coasting. Men and women, as well-as boys and girls, have lost their lives, or have been seriously injured by dashing into moving or standing cars on their sleds or travelers. Why jeopradixe your lives by coasting; where the hazard is so great, when there are so many places in this city of hills, where this sport may be indulged in with perfect safety?
