J6.-Metfthe"r of the American Olympic. games com , niittee, when informed by The As sociated Press of the selection -of the dates for the ' various Kmpti' lions at Antwerp -next -year7, ex pressed satisfaction with 'the prog ress, with the exception1 tf the dates selected for the swimming and row ingf events. It was pointed out that these contests, falling almost a month after the completion of the tracV and field games,' would badly upset the plans for the American team now being organized. Unless :i change can be effected it may be necessary to send the team to Bel-j gium in two sections, as the swim mers and oarsmen, a delegation run ning into double figures, cannot be transported with the track contin-. gent and held in Belgium for , a month after the major portion of i. the team is enroute for home.' American Plans. T Plans for the formation of the American team are rapidly advanc ing and arrangements for the hous ing of between 1,000 and 1,200 con testants from the United States are well under way. Owing to the low altitude of Antwerp, it has been de cided to quarter the 'team "at a con siderable distance from the scene of the games proper and transport the entrants from day to day to the Madium as required by the pro gram. This was considered to be a wiser course than to "permit the ath letes to be quartered amid the noise and confusion of the city and in close proximity to the damp air of the salt meadows. It was, also pointed out that the course for the marathon race, from Brussels to Antwerp will be over historic ground and along the same roads over which the Ge.-man army advanced in its initial attack on Bel gium in August, 1914. The run ners will pass through Malines, fa mous for the determined stand of Cardinal Merrier and the cathedral . which the Germans used as an ob servation' post in 'their attack on Antwerp. . All along the 25 miles will bl evi dence of the bitter fighting in the earliest days of the war, including the completely wrecked forts at Wavre, destroyed by the shells of the big Berthas, and the hundreds cf graves of the fallen combatants.

TAKING TANLAC Six Years of Stomach Trouble Has Disappeared and She Feels Like New. i "By the help of Tanlac I am rid of a case of stomach trouble that made life miserable for five years, and I, have gained twenty pounds in weight," said Mrs. M. Walter, who resides at 203 West Mulberry St., Bloomington, 111. Continuing, she said: ' ' ' '":" "I had an extremely por appe tite and would have to force down what little I did manage to eajt, and cvan-this would cause me intense 'mis-TV. I would bloat something awful and my heart would palpitate so badly it would frighten me, and I also had great difficulty in breath ing at times. I would also have such cramping pains in my stomach I could hardly stand them. I was troubled a great deal with my kid neys and I would just almost scream ' with pain that would start in the small of my back and jsem to work up under my shoulder blades.

Quality- First , 1 , g--; New York, Dec. 16. When the Na tional Base Ball commission is re organized, which will happen as soon as Garry Herrmann is forced from his job as chairman, it is planned to give the commission an allowance of 25,000 from the world's series re ceipts, instead of . permitting it to take 10 per cent of the receipts of world's series and .post-season games, as has been done heretofore. Took Nearly $80,000. The National commission took nearly $80,000 for its share of . the last Red-White Sox world's series,1 and base ball men iri both leagues believe that this is entirety too much money for the needs of the commis sion. John Heydler, president ' of the National league, said a few days ago that the National league was in fa vor of the commission turning a por tion of their funds over to the re spective league treasuries.- The ma jority directors of the American league voted to request the National commission to turn over $25,000 to the treasurer of each league. At the time it was explained that the National league favored similar ac tion. Heydler said he did not think it would be oossible for the commis sion to disburse'$50,000 between the leagues, but said that the club own ers of his league favored the return of the commission surplus to the league treasuries. "This is no more than equitable," explained Heydler, "for during the Federal league fight and after, the commission's . expenses were" so heavy for lawyers fees and other things that it was necessary in sev eral years to assess the different clubs to make up t)ie commission's deficit." "Ban" Favors Move. Heydler said he had, talked the matter over with Ban Johnson, and that the American league president also favors it. The idea of allowing the commis sion a budget of $25,000 a year came from the joint committee appointed to find a successor to Herrmann as chairman of the commission. - This committee believes that it is possible to run the commission on a more economic basis than in the past. Of the $25,000 yearly allow ance it is proposed to pay the chair man a salary of $10,000 to $12,000 a year, with $15,000 a year the top mark. "One hears so much talk of 'big ni,oneyv in base ball that one often loses all sense of realities" ex plained one of the men who is in terested in the budget system for the commission. A $12,000 salary still is not to be sneezed at, and I Becky Broomhill Wins K Derby Stake at Calhoun Montgomery, Ala., Dec. 16.- Becky Broomhill, liver and white pointer bitch, owned by u. L.

"Bushwa."- BUT ONE MINER OFFICIAL FACING CONTEMPT CHARGE Cases Against 83 Others Will Be Dropped, in Opinion of Prosecuting Attorney. Indianapolis, Dec. 16. Except .as to Alexander Howat, president of the Kansas district of the United Mine Workers of America, charges of contempt of court against 84 of ficials of that organization Tuesday were, continued by United States District Judge A. B. Anderson until such a time as, the i governor 'or at torneys for the defense again wish to bring them before the, court. The case against Howat, who with the other officials, was alleged to have violated the federal court injunction against furtherance of the strike, will be ' called for hearing next Monday morning. He is charged by the government with continuing in his violation of the injunction by using his influence to keep a local strike in Kansas in force. -., Continuing Strike a Crime. .This strike, it was stated in court today, was called July 17, 1919, but October 31, when the general strike of miners became effective, was merged with all other strikes. The government contends that the ac tion taken by the general commit tee of the United Mine Workers here last week, in accepting the pro posal of President Wilson to end the general strike, also provided for ending all local strikes and that continuation of them constituted violation of the injunction on the part ' of officials instrumental in keeping them in force. No Order Is Issued. It was declared in court that, an official in the Missouri district of the mine workers also is guilty of violation of the injunction in keep ing in force a strike called in sym pathy with that of the Kansas fields. The Missouri official, however, was not named and no order for his ap pearance in court was issued. It is generally believed that if the miners continue at work the charges against them will not be pushed by the government. Dan W. Simms, special United States district at torney, who represented the govern ment in court, indicated that it was the opinion of the government that, with the exception of Howat and the Missouri official, the miners had complied with the court's injunction order, but -stated that he did not vanl the cases dismissed as Ioiik us Jess Queen Throws i Two Men at Armour Men's Club Smoker The Armours Men's club held a smoker in the meeting room at the plant Tuesday night, with all the department heads present, including the retiring superintendent and the incoming head of the local plant and a number of their assistants.
