Still to Be Paid. dent' Jolmson’s anpnouncement the 2 that the $110,000 lllfld w upon to reimburse backers of Federal league clubs still remained unpaid caused & surprise. He said that the American league was ready to - pay its share—$656,000—at once, but that the entire issue would have to be .settled by the ¢lub owners of the two leagues tomorrow. It was revealed that Edward Gwinner, who lost heav- ily in backing the Pittsburgh club of the Federal league, is to receive $50,- 000 of the fund and the balance is to be divided between Harry Sinclair, who financed the Newark club, and the Ward estate of New York, which supported the Brooklyn Federals. Division Unfavorable. The suggestion advanced by the National league that a new division of the world’s series receipts be made did not gain favor with the Ameri- can league club owners. The Na- tional league proposes to limit the amount the players of the contending clubs receive and divide the remainder among the players on the four lead- ing clubs in the two leagues. Presi- dent Johnson said he believed this proposal probably would be voted down by the American leaguers, who thought that the ‘spoils should go to the victors.” $50,000 Pald for Pair. Philadelphia, Dec. 14.—It was learned from a trustworthy source here vesterday that the money consid- eration involved in the sale of Pitcher Grover C. Alexander and Catcher 'Willlam Killifer by the Philadelphia National league club to the ‘Chicago Nationals is $50,000. Of this amount, $25,000 is to be paid at once and the remainder is to be turned over before the 1918 season opens, provided Alex- ander i3 not drafted into the National Army before that time. Fuvors War Clause. President Johnson favored insertion of a war clause in contracts for the 1918 season. The clause would in- clude all drafted or enlisted players to the extent of protecting the club owners. The latter would be absolved from all salary obligations in the event the player enlisted or was draft- ed. But if the player should return to the game after being discharged from military service he must consid- er himself still bound to the club Wwith which he last signed. While it was regarded as virtually certain that the two leagues will de- | clde on a 154-game schedule for next season, August Herrmann, president of the Cincinnati Nationals and chair- man of the National Baseball commis. sion, advised the American league e ecutive over the long-distance tele- phone that the question of a schedule still was open with the National leaguers. President Johnson favors a 140-game schedule and will make'a fight for it, but probably will be obliged ta accedée to the wishes of the ‘ leagues | older organization, as ‘both use the same park in New York. «“Bat and Ball Fund.” After agreeing to retain the present player limit, the American leaguers decided to hold a “bat and ball fund day” in every city in the league next June. Twenty-five ‘per cent. of the gross receipts will be donated to the fund for the purchase of baseball paraphernalia for \American soldiers. President Johnson\ also announced that the leagne would raise a fund to buy baseball equipment for Canadian soldiers.

DRINK HOT WATER BEFORE BREAKFAST Says you really feel clean, sweet and fresh inside, and are seldom ill. If you are accustomed to wake up | | with a coated tongue, foul breat}x or a dull, dizzy headache; or, if- your meals sour and turn into gas and acids, you have a real surprise await- ing yo Tomorrow morning, immediately upon arising, drink a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This is intended to first neutralize and then wash out of your stomach, lver, kidneys and thirty feet of intestines all the indi- gestible waste, poisoms, sour bile and toxins, thus clednsing, sweetening and 1 purifying the entire alimentary canal. Those subject to sick headaches, backache, bilious attacks, constipation or any form of stomach trouble, are urged to get a quarter pound of lime- stone phosphate from the drug store and begin enjoying this morning ln-l side-bath. It is said that men and women who try this become enthu- siastic and keep it up daily. It is/a splendid health measure for it is more important to keep clean and pure on the inside than on the outside, because the skin pores do not absorb impuri- ties into the blood, causing disease, while the bowel pores do. The principle of bathing inside is not new, as millions of people prac- tice it. Just as hot water and soap cleanse, purify and freshen the skin, 1 so hot water and a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate act on the stom- ! ach, liver, kidneys and bowels. Lime- | stone phosphate is an inexpensive | white powder and almost tasteless. ——ee exhibition game early in the season to raise a fund for the widow of William G.
