We all know how prone people are to deny they have Consumption. It is a flattering disease, and the sufferer is filled with bright hopes of
improvement. Call Consumption by its oun dread name and then take Eck man's Alterative, because It is effective in Tuberculosis. No one need doubt about It there is plenty of evidence from live witnesses. Investigate the following: Amenla, N. Y-, July 9, 1909. Gentlement: Prior to Feb., 1909, I was located in Rochester, N. Y., suffering with LaGrlppe," which developed Into Tuberculosis. My physician gave me one month to live. I was havinar terrible nlsrht sweats and mtd-dav
chills and losing flesh rapidly, having gone from 155 to 185 pounds. I coughed and raised oontinually and beoame so weak that walking a few feet exhausted me. On my return home, my regular physician gave me little encouragement. My father, who is a clergyman, heard of Eckman'i Alterative and induced me to take it. The night sweats and chills disappeared, my cough became easier and gradu-' ally diminished and in a few days I developed an appetite, the first in months. I am now in perfect health, back to 155 pounds. I feel certain that I owe my life to Eckman's Alterative. (Signed) " e. H. COWLES.

"Peaceful" Mordeeai Brown has become a real holdout, according to a
dispatch from Terre Haute last night.
The "miner," according to the story, has been unabe to come to terms, with
President Murphy of the Cubs and will now wait for the appearance of Man
ager Chance on the scene. Whether he has had any serious conversations with
the boss of the; city champions the
pitcher did not say, and It is possible that he figured that It would be to his
advantage to deal with the two to gether.
Brown, according to the reports, has
two grievances. One could be settled
Dy a substantial raise and the other
could be satisfied If the clause forbidding barnstorming at the close of the
season were cut out of the contract.
Not that Brown has gone daffy over the latter proposition, but he feels that It is unjust that the club should dictate as to what he should do after he is
through for the summer.
To his friends Brown said that he
expected an increase of something like
12,000, which would make him the high
est priced player In the National league. The three-fingered wonder figures that he will be. unable to hold up his end of the job very many more years and that the wisest policy for him Is to make hay while the sun shines. Brown thinks he will get the raise all right.
but he has also told his friends around Rosedale that he will not go with the
team until his contract is fixed up. As
he is not given to idle boasts he probably means what he says.
With the return of President Johnson
of the American league in company
with President Comlskey of the Sox
another matter affecting the Cubs is ex
pected to soon come to a head. The
question of Kllng's reinstatement will
probably be taken up by the national commission at once and the "pool ehark" will soon know the worst John-
ST. YVES LEADS BY A LI IL E JTJT.1 A R AT H 0 f J French Runner Outdistances Marsh, Canadian Champion, at Los Angeles.
Los Angeles, Cat,' Feb. 7. Henir St. Yves, the crack French Marathon runner of the world, successfully defended his title at the Chutes ball park yesterday afternoon when he won the big Marathon race in the rather slow time of 2:46:03 2-5. He distanced John D. Marsh, the Canadian champion, by more than a mile, James Fitzgerald of Calgary finished third, his time being 3:27:27. A crowd of 4,000 spectators witnessed the big race1, which proved to be one of the most exciting ever held in the west for the first fifteen miles. Every previous Marathon mile record was lowered up to the fifteenth mile, and it looked as though the Frenchman would lower his present record. A sudden
change in the temperature is claimed by
St. Yves as the reason for his not es
tablishing a record. He caught a cramp in the side and before the twentieth mile was blue with the cold. Marsh was badly distressed -as he crossed the finish line. He stated that the pace was too fast for the first few
miles.

A. A. STAGG GIVES FOOTBALL IDEAS
Tells What He Thinks of Proposed Changes. New York, Feb. 7. In an interview today concerning proposed changes in football rules, now so prominent in the public eye, Coach A. A. Stagg of the University of Chicago was asked whether the spirit with which the game is played does not smack too much of the heroic, or, in other words, too much of the do-or-dle idea. "It not this spirit in a measure responsible for Injuries?" "Yes," replied Mr. Stagg, "that is one of 'the causes, but that is the American spirit of doing things, and I don't think it would be toned down." Mr. Stagg was then asked If he thought if no substitutes were allowed and a team lined up at the kick had to play without substitutes that this would make the men more cautious and minimise the probability of inJury. To this Mr. Stagg replied: "The same thing occurred to me some years ago, and It was tried out west.

against Kllng's reinstatement, arguing
that the roles of the commission should be lived up to. It is, however, the belief that eventually "Noisy John" will
get back, but that a mighty stiff fine will accompany the decision.
Tip" O'Neil, Sox exhibition manag
er, is also due to report to President
Comlskey today.. "Tip" has closed all
the dates for the spring training trip and is supposed to be loaded down with
games all the way from the Golden
Gate to Rock Island. Aunougn me
chances are that Comlskey will abandon
the trip to the northwest, there will be
plenty to do along the more southern
trail. The squad will be split in two sections the same as last year, and most of the time for both will be spent
on the sleepers.
The coming trip to the coast will
probably be the last for the Sox for -. . 4 1
some years to come. exi year m
wearers of the white hose will be found nearer home with a short trip south to taper off the practice season. PIRATES SIGN AN UMP Van Sickle to Officiate in the
Spring Games.
TMttsbursr. Feb. 7. The Pittsburg
champions will play ball under a sal
aried umpire from the first time tney don a uniform at Hot Springs until the
close of the championship season, iz
has been decided to carry a real umpire on the training trip to offlcate at games that will be played at Hot Springs betwen the regulars and the Yannigans. Umpire Van Sickle of the American asociation, a Chicago man, will get the Job. Clark thinks players
do not do the same sort or worn wnen another player or some spectator Is umpiring and requested Dreyfuss to get a real umpire. HESTER IN QUANDARY Wants to Told Nelson Bout
in Alameda. San Francisco, Feb. 7. Sid Hester is in an uncertain frame of mind. He cannot decide whether to continue his fight for a permit in Alameda or accept the hospitality of the Point Richmond authorities and take the Nelson-Wol-gast battle Into that bailiwick. Hester's objection to Point Richmond is Its inaccessibility. It is nearly twenty miles from San Francisco. Meantime the Battler and his ambitious opponent are going right along with their training routine. Kelson took a fivemile jog this morning and gave a pub-
-vhlhtion at Milieu, s mis
was aban-
rp.kisslT as ever and It
doned." "Should not the men guilty of foul play, at all events of a second offense during a game, be at least ruled off the field for the rest of the game?" "I think," said Mr. Stagg, "men indulging in foul play should be summarily dealt with. In fact, I have always thought referees and umpires of a game are far to lax in this direction. To me a man guilty of brutal or foul play should be treated as one would treat a garroter or a man using a sandbag. Probably," continued Mr. Stagg, "the rules committee will adopt a drastic measure toward eliminating indulgences of a brutal or foul nature.

Ames, Iowa, Feb. 7. Baseball at Ames will be rather late in starting this season owing to the fact that the candidates cannot work out in the

which was put in last fall for the foot
ball rooms prevents all throwing. As the team will be a green aggregation
this year, according to the coaches, the
handicap of no preliminary training
will be a serious one. Of the old men who are back there are: Captain Belt
er, Herbert, Matter, "Van Slyke, Johnson and Maytag. The new men and their positions are: Pitchers, Maloy, Kingman, Weller, Federson and Sprague;
