nimssary to ninend the constitution of tho

In the president, but the board of directors
las of one mind, and the work was car
Jed on Willi B'pnl nthuslnsm.
Indeed the enthusiasm reunited In sev
.,! outbursts of souk, and Charles II.
Fbbets, Squire of 1-Tntbush, and Harry
t Hempstead, of tho CSIants, yodclcd
with great effect, "There's a Hole In tho
Bottom of the Son," and Percy D. ITaueli
ton said in awed tones: "no they do thoso
things In New York: do they really?"
After a lengthy discusslon-onc which
hai been rairled on Intermittently for
..voml months the directors decided to
abolish lh0 PrlvilcKo of appeal from tho
decision of the picsldent of tho Ioiikuo
on protested Knmefl, nnd by tmatilmous
consent tho constitution was amended.
Thli decision by tho dliectors will pre
vnt nny such appeal as was mndo by
Barney Drcyfuss on a game played In
Philadelphia hi which the Pirates were
defeated.
Other reforms may bo worked before
the meeting Is brought to a close soino
time today. Harney Drcyfuss proposed
that a rule be written Into the playing
code malting It imperative that the fence
at the point at which the foul lino In
tersects It be 2T0 feet from tho homo
plate. I'niler the present rules tho fenco
need bo only 23". feet from tho home plate.
Ores fuss Is hitting at tho Philadelphia
Katlonal I.eaguo grounds, which are so
small that a ball which would bo only a
long fly. easily caught by a fair out
fielder on another Meld, sails majestically
on for a home run.
Drcyfuss said that tho right-field fenco
was responsible for Cravath's fnmo as a
home-run hitter, and iiuoted tho world's
series In which a couple of his long drives
wero caught bv Duffy Lewis to sub
stantiate bis statement. Ho also said
that Craath made only llvo homo runs
on other grounds all season.
In accordance with an older promul
gated yesterday afternoon, the diamond
of every National league paik will bo
surveyed prior to the opening or tho
playing season, and a report made to
the president of tho league. This may
result In several changes on several
grounds where tho net rules have been
violated. The Tolo Grounds In this city
may have to be remodeled If tho letter
of the rule Is to be obeyed, for the grand
stand Is much closer to the plate than the
W feet prescribed in the rules

12th and IStli sessions, when Ilauber camu
back strong, but ho rallied quickly and
finished In good shape.
It was a fast battle from start to finish.
There was action In every louud, nnd tho
large number of Haubcr's pals In the au
dlenco had plenty of opportunities to
cheer. There Is no doubt that Hnuber
was the favorite of tho ciowd, and he
remained a favorite throughout tho battle.-
Thoso who expected to sec a slow, un
interesting battlo wero disappointed In
the very llrst round. Ilauber rushed
O'llrlen nit over the ring, lauding stiff
blows, while Young Jack look the de
fensive. The speedy work continued
louud after mund, until It looked as If
three sK-louud bouts had been lolled
Into one.
Haulier Dangles in Air
Secrnl times when Haulier rushed,
O'Urlen slopped him with his shouhler,
lifted him otT his feet nnd had him dan
gling In the air. It looked like a wrestling
scene on a busy evening, lull Henry met
with nu mlsfnitune and always leached
tho Hour wifely. It showed how hard
the .toys were boxing and their eager
ncs to get at each other.
Philadelphia .lawn put on some big
league stuff hi the eniller 1 omuls, when
he distracted Ilnuber's attention long
enough to allow Ilrother .lack to get lu
some telling blows. Haulier was plainly
worried and hurled 11 few kind words lu
Jawn's dliectlon. It Ms said that .lawn
was making faces at Henry, but nt a late
hour this could not be verllled. At any
rate, Muggsy Tnjloi whlspeied a cou

of the round nnd It was noticed that
Henry Kept his back turned to Mr.
O'Urlen as much as possible during thu

IF A MANUFACTURER in
his advertising' tells you (truth
fully,ashebelieves)thathehas the "best tasting cigarette in the
world" and you believe him, you
probably try his cigarette. It may
be a very good cigarette. But his
over-enthusiasm has led you to
expect something almost impos
sible. You light that cigarette
and
Well, there's a good chance that
you're disappointed. It may not
be the fault of the cigarette. The
cigarette may be mighty good.
But you've been led to expect too
much. You've been "over-sold."
And besides, rasres differ
who can tell what cigarette will
best please your taste before
you try it?
That's why we leave the taste
of Fatimas entirely up to you.
We believe you will like them;
but you may not.
To be sure, most men like the
taste of Fatimas better than any
other cigarette they ever smoked.
Figures indicate that. More
Fatimas are sold than any other
cigarette in the world costing
over 5c.
But the taste isn't all.
If you do like Fatimas taste
as well as these thousands and
thousands of other men do, you'll
find a second reason for sticking
to them for good. And that reason
is that Fatimas will give you
cigarette-comfort at all times.
This is why they have won the
name of being as SENSIBLE a
cigarette as a man can find any
where. They are comfortable to the
throat and tongue. You'll never
experience any "sandpaper
tickle" or "hotness" in the cool
smoking Turkish blend of
Fatimas.
And Fatimas can be smoked
more freely than any other ciga
rette we lcnowofwiriiourleaving
any mean after-feeling, as some
less skilfully blended cigarettes do.
If you have never smoked
Fatimas you should try them.
