NATIONAL COMMISSION PUTS CRIMP IN BONUS

Makes New Ruling That No Extra Money Can Be Paid to Players in - World’s Championship Series.

Baseball players competing in the world's championship = post-season series hereafter will be deprived ‘of the rich ‘bonuses which it has been customary for club owners to distribute among both the winning and losing teams at the conclusion ‘of the series. The national commission, supreme in organized baseball, has passed a rule absolutely forbidding the practice with a penalty of a $10,000! fine for violation of the new rule. :

~ When the Chicago Cubs won the world’s championship last fall President Murphy, on behalf of the club, added enough to their share of the gate receipts to make a pot of $45,000, the club’s contribution amounting to about $12,000. President Yawkey soothed the lacerated feelings of the Tigers with a cash contribution of $15,000. When the Sox beat the Cubs for the world’s honors in 1906 Comiskey added $15,000 from his pocket to the Sox earnings. ' ‘Succeeding battles for honors promtsed to bring about a race of generosity on the part of clubowners which eventually might result in nearly the entire proceeds of the games going to the players, and the magnates determined to stop the practice before it went any farther. The national commission makes the ruling, and thus becomes the buffer between the players and public, -on the one hand, and club owners on the other, but as a matter of fact the aétion was practically' decided upon and urged by the club owners of the two organizations at the annual meetings last December. : '

Under the rules as now standing, the players will receive 60 per cent. of the receipts from the first four games of the world’s series, and this will be divided, 75 per cent. to the winner and 25 per cent. to the loser. :

The new rule is as follows: Ruie 17.—Neither one of the contesting clubs shall be permitted to pay a bonus or prize to any or all of its players who may take part in the series before or after the same has been completed, and the commission will retain the certified check which each club is required to deposit under rule six, until such time as they may be satisfied that there has' been no violation of this rule, and in case there is a vgolation of the rule, then said certified check shall be cashed an 4 credited to the funds of the national commission.

MAJOR LEAGUE NOTES

Outfielders of the present time throw out many less men at the plate than in the earlier days of the sport. Lobert is the only Red to play all the games. He has not missed an inning and hopes to go through without a break.

Spencer, of the St. Louis Browns, is said to be throwing more accurately just now than any other catcher in the American league. Clarke Griffith says he considers Stone, of the St. Louis Browns, the most valuable player on any team in the American league.

Big Ed McQuillen, of the Phillies, is truly a pitching marvel. He is always good, and best of all, willing to do the biggest share of hill duty. ; If the Boston 'Americans keep on improving at the ratio they have been doing since McGuire took hold, they’ll be up among the first flight next year.

.Osborne, the Phillies’ middle fielder, plays with more confidence than he did earlier in the season, and that’s because he is fielding and batting better. .

One of the things that is pleasing Manager Ganzel almost as much as the winning of games is the batting of Mike Mitchell. Mike is hitting the ball often and on the nose and is going around with a smile a mile wide. A New Yorker says: “There’s many a ball player who outshines another while he’s playing, but isn’t half as valuable because he’s hurt and out of the game twice as much.” Connie Mack has signed Pitcher Martin' and Shortstop Mcllnnis of the Haverhill team, in the New England league. Mack is said to have landed a star in Mclnnis, who has been playing sensational ball this season. John Hummel, to the Brooklyn way of thinking the greatest utility player in the league, is playing second base as it has ‘not been played in Brooklyn in years. Pattee was looked upon as something of & star, but “Silent John” is covering m,zww he ever did. And he leads the slub with the Ll e oL

NOT MUCH CHANCE FOR OUTLAW JIMMY SEBRING Will Hardly Be Able to Get Back Into Major Leagues—Case of Pitcher} Jack = Doescher, | There seems to be no immediate prospect that Jimmy Sebring, the-ban-ished out-fielder, late of Pittsburg and Cincinnati, and now on the reserve list of the Chicago Nationals, will be seen again in the spangles. of a big league star. ; ; !

Sebring’s case was discussed informally by the national commission some days ago and while nothing definite was done, it was found that there was no sentiment favoring the immediate lifting of the life-banishment sentence imposed upon Sebring. “In the first place,” said President Pulliam of the national league, “Se: bring has not yet applied for reinstatement. Then, again, the national commission is not going to be speedy in the matter of removing the disability on Sebning, for the reason that we have become rather suspicious of these contract jumpers. They do not appear to be entirely on the level, so far as we have experienced. i “Take the case of Pitcher Jack Doescher, who jumped the Reds last week. After he had been declared ineligible by the national commission for jumping his Brooklyn contract, he haunted my office for several years trying to enlist my sympathy to have him reinstated. He finally won my sympathy and I set out to help him. In due time we found that he had been apparently badly treated by the Brooklyns and went so far as to fine President Ebbets for his part in the matter. “Eventually the Cincinnati club, by a goodly outlay of money, secured the services of Doescher, paid him a liberal salary, and as soon as the team gets into a hole he jumps them, having the audacity to ‘resign’ at such a time. Isn’'t that enough to make one suspicious of these contract jumpers? Sebring may never be given another opportunity to show that he is sincere.”

COBB TARGET FOR PITCHERS

Several Said to Be Trying ‘to Put . Him in Hospital.

“Put me in the box against Detroit and I'll break both Cobb’s and Crawford's ribs.” .

This statement is credited as coming from a prominent pitcher in the American league. ; It is a well-known fact that every team 'in Ban Johnson’s’ organization knows it can’t overcome Detroit’s lead unless accidents happen to their star = batters. Jennings has been warned of this also, and, for this reason, has been making his star batsmen duck away from anything which comes close to them. . Cobb and Crawford have been the stumbling blocks in the paths of almost every team in the league, and for this reason several pitchers have been aiming terrific shoots at Cobb’s midsection.

Cy Morgan of the Red Sox has been accused of trying to hit Cobb on several occasions, and, ds a result, the Boston pitcher and Cohb cagre close to blows at Boston a few days ago. Cobb is not the most Beloved player in the world. His hot temper has put him in bad more than once, and his frequent habit of breaking up games with mighty clouts has made him still more unpopular with many pitchers. To help out either St. Louis, Cleveland or the Sox to beat Detroit, many pitchers of the other teams could easlly;tum the trick of puiting Cobb or Crawford in the hospital. Under these conditions Cobb will be a very busy personage from now on ducking weH:aim?d shoots for his ribs. > st ‘Hears Flapping of Pennant. Owner Robert Hedges of the St. Louis Browns recently made the prediction. that his team would win the American league pennant, with Detroit second. { “With Emmett Heidrick back I do not think we can be beaten,” said Mr. Hedges. “The team has been going finely, but we needed one more hard hitting, speedy outfielder. Heidrick is the man. I have tried to get him to return to the game for two years, and now that we have him first place will be our:destiny. Powell is back in good shape again, and I think when we meet Detroit in our 11 wscheduled | g;mes we will deal them @& surprise. The White Sox I am sure will not catch us. ; : iy _ ~ “The little setback the Boston series gave us, as wefl as the two games we have just lost here, hurt us some, but we will go through the rest of the

feathered in delicate pearl gray with wing tips of black and white. Stand upon the shore of one of the great lakes and the same bird will be found picking up its daily bread from the face of the fresh water. Float in your canoe with the current of the Mississippi and your gray clad friend of the Atlantic and the lakes will bear yYou gentle company. The public little knows . the bird fight—it was a, fight,” nothing less—that was waged for years before the men who had espoused the cause of the innocents could claim a victory. Unecle Sam took a hand in the fight and put himself at the head of the little band of bird partisans. The men who engaged in the conflict had first to overcome that most potent of all weapons, ridicule. They were called dreamers and ‘“old women,” but the blows they struck soon knocked the thought that they were weakling sentimentalists out of the heads of their antagonists.

The' gulls and terns perhaps best known to the people of the United States are the herring gull already named, Bonaparte’s gull (Larus philadelphia), Wilson’s tern (Sterna hirundo) and the black tern (Hydrochelidon nigra surinamensis). A sum of money known as the Thaver fund is being

The Black Tern, Nest, Young and Eggs.

used this year for the protection of the gulls and terns upon their breeding islands along the Atlantic coast. The black tern, however, gets little of the benefit of this protection, for it nests largely in'the marshes of the inland. This beautiful bird, with its fore part a glossy black, which takes on an iridescence in the sunshine, has been shot so ruthlessly that hundreds of its former haunts know it no more. There are few sights in nature more beautiful than the view of a nesting colony of black terns, as the old birds glide backward and forward, turning as lightly as swallows above their nests lying at the base of the bending flags.

The black tern has been in such demand for millinery purposes that

HER TEARS WERE WASTED

‘lnstead of Tale of Woe, Caller Wwas Relating a Joke. I " This really happened in a publisher's office the other day, and the girl it happened to tells it thus: “Well, 1 just wish I wasn’'t so ten-der-hearted. It takes the least thing in the world to make me cry, and when some poor old man or woman comes into the office for a check and begins to tell me a hard-luck -story I have to bite my lips to keep back | the tears. Yesterday a real old man | came in, ‘husband to one of our wom- | en authors, and I had to listen to his tale of woe, - “Thig couple have a very hard time to keep the wolf from the door, and 1 | have always been sorry for them. The ' old man began to tell me something in , a low voice, and I knew he was relating his troubles. He kept wiping his eyes, and his voice trembled. Well, I thought of the poor, poor man, so forjorn and helpless, and the sight of his | tears made mine come. Finally he got more and more excited, nnp 1

a man with knowledge of the nesilng place of a colony in his breast and with a shotgun fn his hand has been able to make a month's wages & a day’s shooting. There is something absolutely conscienceless about the method of killing the terns. The mar ket hunter seeks out the nesting&plajce, flushes the birds from their nests, and while they hover about his head, uttering cries of fear and of distress at the danger which they suppose threatens their nests, he shoots them down ruthlessly. The survivors seemingly do not understand what bhas happened to their murdered fellows and they continue to circle about the head of the intruder until the last one is sacrificed on the altar of fashion. ~ This is a dark picture, but there is a lighter one. All along the Atlantic coast upon the islands where the: herring gull, the Bonapartes, the Kkittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla) and the other sea birds build, there are stationed this summer men who have the authority of the law tp stop the slaughter of the birds and to prevent the stealing of their eggs. These men are absolutely fearless. nThey must needs

be, for the class which preys upon thes birds is irresponsible and often willing to commit any crime rather than to have ended their lucrative occupation of bird murder.

Another story was. told by these returned summer residents of the islands. They said that in many cases the birds would fall wounded before the shots of the market hunters, and, still living, would' be picked up to have their wings torn off, the birds then being tossed to the beach to linger for awhile and to die in agony. There was an investigation of these stories of horrid cruelty. They were found to be true. If an additional ‘spur were needed to quicken the movement for the protection of the gulls and terns it was found in the recital of these tales of the inhumanity of the gunners. Money was raised, wardens were appointed and the birds were protected through the time of their nesting. : ~ Here is an answer to such doubters. It is only one case among ‘hundreds, and it is far from being the most fla. ‘grant of those reported. A man ‘named Small—something in a name possibly—shot gulls and terns for the ‘market. In the seven days he killed 2,625 birds. The selling price was 1215

cents for each victim. Small’'s week’s work of slaughter brought him in something over $3OO. The movement for the protection of the birds along the Atlantic started a similar movement on the great lakes and along the coast of California. Many of the gulls and terns breed in the islands of northern Lake Michigan and on the islands and along the shores of Huron and Superior. Moral suasion rather than money was used in the western territory. It is a sad commentary, perhaps, on human nature that the experience of the bird protectors has shown that money, cash down at that, has. been more effective in saving the birds than an appeal to the sympathies of men and women.

I told it at my club last week, and I never heard the fellows laugh as they did. It brought down the house.” Imagine! There he had been telling me a funny story all the while, his tears being those of laughter, and I had sat there weeping because I thought it was something sad. I surely must be getting deaf.” ‘ Sapphires of Different Colors. ‘To Say that anything is “as blue 28 a sapphire” is to make use of an incorrect comparison. = Sapphires are not excluéively one color.

DAVID MADE KING OVER ISRAFL AND JUDAH Sunday School Lesson for Sept. 13, 1908

LESSON TEXT.—2 Samuel 2:1-7; 5:1-6. Memory verses, 2 Sam. 5:4, 5. { GOLDEN TEXT.—*“David .went on and grew great, and the Lord God of Hosts was with him.”’—2 Sam. 5:10.: e THE COUNTRY.—The cleavage which became permanent after Solomon had long existed in tendency. Apparently united under Saul, the tribes showed their divergence in the early years of Dayid—- & northern and a southern kingdom.

PLACE.—David’s first capital was at Hebron. Later he made Jerusalem his capital as more central, and more easiJy defended. : : o

TlME.—David was king over Judah seven and one-half years, B. C. 1055-1048 (Ussher); or as revised by the Assyrian ‘Eponym Canon, about 40 years later. Comment and -Suggestive Thought. David had fitted himself for the kingship. He had almost ideal qualfties. But he needed training by lesser and easier tasks for the great, enduring, glorious kingdom he was to create and rule. Hence, for seven years he was faithful over a few things in order that he might rule well over many things. David was now 30 years old. He had had a checkered life for the last ten years; but every hour of it was a part of his preparation. S It takes a great variety of experiences to make us complete and fitted to do the greatest good. David’'s life was filled “with the strangest vicissitudes swinging trough an arc that embraced much if not all of human experience. Edward Irving finely says of him, ‘Every angel of joy and of sorrow swept, as he passed, over the chords of David’s harp, and the hearts of a hundred men strove and struggled together within the narrow continent of his single @ heart.’”—Professor Moorehead. :

Hebron, the Capital, was one of the most ancient cities in the world, sit uated in a high, mountainous region, 3,300 feet above the sea. It was easi--17 defended. It was far enough from the Philistines and from the northern tribes to be safe. It was in a region familiar to David in his exile, and where he himself “was well -known. Hebron had been the home of his ancestor Abraham. In the-side of a neighboring “ravine was the cavé of Machpelah, where the fathers of the nation slept in God.” Isaac and Rebekah had lived here. Near by was the the brook Eschol where grew the luxuriant vine from which the spies, more than four centuries before, had cut down the famous clusters. Says Professor Blaikie, “To live in Hebron, and not feel faith guickened to new life, would' have indicated a soul dead to every impulse of patriotism and piety.” ° ;. <5 ; V. 4. “The men of Judah . . .~ anointed’ David- king.” This was the public ceremony of coronation. -The kingdom came to him, not only by divine appointment, but by choice of the people themselves (v. 7;1 Chron. 11:1-3.) The two coincided.

David Reigned at Hebron seve},and one-half years (2 Sam. 5:5), in & quiet and peaceful manner, growing in favor with God and man, and laying the foundations for his great work of consolidating and reconstructing the. nation. : ;

The Civil War. Abner having brought all the other tribes into submission to the dynasty of Saul, next proposes to conquer David and Judah. Then he will be at the head of the whole nation.

Note that David tries to unite the tribes by kindness and peace; Abner seeks to conquer by war. David acts only on the defensive. -~ <

All through the long war that followed—nearly - two years—David waxed stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul weaker and weaker.” €2 Sam. 3:1). - < : . David Became King in the Best Possible Way. (1) He did not seek the office, but the office sought him. V. 1. ‘“Then came all the tribes of Israel t(% David.” They came by their elders!' (v. 3), representing, according to 1 Zhr0n.“12:23-40, 339,600 warriors. They gave good reasons. . (2) He was Saul’'t natural successor, being his son-in-law; and to make this more evident, lie insisted that his wife Michal who hal been taken away from him by Saul, should be returned to him. -They said “We are thy bone and thy flesh,” both by race and by alliance with their royal house. ' (3) He had proved himself a strong and worthy leader, both as warrior and statesman. They recalled his splendid feats of arms when all the tribes were one kingdom. V. 2. “Thou wast he that leddest out,” etc. . All through his past life, since the conflict with Goliath, David had shown generalship, . wisdom, ° skill, forbearance, courage, knowledge of men, and trust in God. 52 g =

(4) He was divinely appointed, the one whom God saw to be the best one to be their king—“the Lord said to thee.” The man whom God chooses for an office is the man the people: need. - : ; S

. (5) He had the right ideas concerning the duties of a king. ‘“Thou shalt feed.” ~Literzlly, “Thou shalt shepherd;” a natural metaphor to express the ruler's care for his people. It is used by Greek poets, e. g.,” Homer, whose regular title for Agamemnon is “Shepherd of the peoples.”—Cambridge Bible. The true king, ever true ruler, seeks nut to obtain all he can from the people, but to do all he can for them; not to plunder the sheep, but to shepherd them. David well knew what was meant.’ 5 ' (6 David's was a constitutional monarchy, not a despotism. S

Practical Points.

David was a fine example of Christ's parables of the talents and the pounds. Faithfulness in lesser things is the only way to higher and better things. David was now hearing the Lord’s “Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over afew things, I will make thee ruler over many things,” (Matt. 25:21). To be king over ourselves. “He that ruleth his own spirit is greater than he that taketh a city.” £ A Syrian proverb runs, “Escape from self is better than escape from a lon.” e s S

What is Pe-ru-na.

Are we claiming too much for Peruns when we claim it to be an effective remedy for chronic catarrh? Have we abundant proof that Peruna is in reality such a catarrh remedy? Let us see what the United States Dispensatory says of the principal ingredients of Peruna.

Take, for instance, the ingrediens hydrastis canadensis, er golden seal. The United States Dispensatory says of this herbal remedy, that it islargely employed in the treatment of depraved mucous membranes lining wvarious organs of the human body. ' ; Another ingredient of Peruna, corydalis formosa, is classed in the United S:ates Dispensatory as a tonic. Cedron seeds is another ingredient of Perunsa. The United States Dispensatory says of the action 6f cedron that it is used as a bitter tonic and in the treatment of dysentery, and in intermittent diseases as a substitute for quinine, e

His Devotion to Duty Rewarded by : Strange Luxuries. A Boston bulldog owned by George H. Clapp was so determined to capture a woodchuck which he had chased into its den that he followed after and staid in the hole all night. ~ When the dog had got his jaws about the enemy he found that he could not get out owing to the small size of the animal’s hole. _ Rather than lose his prey the dog retained his hold on the woodchuck over night, and was helped out by his master in the morning. The dog was nearly exhausted, and revived after feeding and drinking in a curious manner. He consumed about two quarts of unguarded ice cream, which had been set aside for a party, and capped the climax by falling into a bucket of lemonade.—Worcester (Mass.) Telegram. ~ _CURED HER CHILDREN. Girls Suffered ,with ltching Eczema— Baby Had a Tender Skin, Too—- - Relied on Cuticura Remedies. “Some years ago my three little girls had a very bad form of eczema.

When the Little Man Scored.

A meek-looking little man with a large pasteboard box climbed on the car. As he did so he bumped slightly Into a sleepy, corpulent passenger with la. self-satisfied look and two littie Idabs of sidewhiskers. As the car rounded a curve the box rubbed |against“him again and he growled: “Thijs is no freight car, is it?” “Nope,” returned the meek little chap with the box, “and when you come right down to i, it ain’t any l cattle car, either, is-it?” , .
