CESEEAL EPORTIKG KLWS OF THE DAI
A movement has fieen commenced to or
ganize what is to be called "The Middle
States Baseball lieagne" for next season.
The circuit is to be made up of cities from
the following list: Heading, Wilkesbarre,
Scranton, Allentown and Pottsrille, in
Pennsylvania; Camden, Trenton, New
Brunswick, Paterson and Hoboten, in New
Jersey; Waterbury, Uaupatuck and Meri
den, in Connecticut, and Poughkeepsie, in
Kew York.
A gentleman who is interested in the pro
posed venture said yesterday: "I think the
League will be a go, as we bare some good
territory to select from. "We will shortly
have a meetinc in New York, and then
we'll see what cities hold out the best pros
pects. My idea is to have the season open
in the latter part of Mav or the first of June
and close October 1. This will give us a.
chance to pet some rjood players that the
big League does not want.
"I feel sure there will be no Pennsyl
vania State League next season, and that
will prompt the Pennsylvania cities on the
4ist to make strong efforts to join the pro
posed League. There has been talk of
organizing a minor league to embrace East
ern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania, but it
seems to me that little or nothing will come
of it Hen who have a little money are not
to eager now to invest in baseball as they
were a few years ago. I know that I am
not. although I take so much ihterest in the
game that I am prepared to invest a little.
For reasons that are private I do not want
it known what club I expect to be interested
in in the proposed league, but if it is a go
everything will soon be made public"

by several skaters of-promlnenoe that the

Donozhue's remarkable work, assisted, no
doubt, by the benefit of a great deal of pre
liminary training. It be Is successful In de

CnicAoo. Dec 16. Special To the
amazement of the wheelmen it was pub
lished a short time ago that Colonel Pope
had ranged himself with those who believe
in the movement being projected In the

terer. The'Colonel says there was not a
word or truth in the Interview.
"The Pope Manufacturing Company Is not
in favor of cash prizes,' said the Colonel,
who stopped over hen- ror a few hours on
his way to Mexico. "There is nothing In
the scheme that commenuS itself to our
favor."
"But you nre distinctly quoted In an opin
ion exactly contrary," was Interjected.

pats I told him I favored the Idea of cash
Srizes he lies. There is no change in me. I
elieve in the amateur system ana will not

A BDBST OF SUNLIGHT.
The Discovery of Doctors Who Can Care
Where Others Have Failed Mrs. Eliz
abeth. Hipner Suffered Terribly for
Months and Sought Every Means to Ob
tain Ttellef Drs. Copeland, Hall and
Dyers' Constant Battle Wltb Disease.
How many people there nre who go from
doctor to doctor, from clinic to cllnlo, and
from hospltaito hospital, suffering from ft
complication of diseases, being treated for
one thing and then another, and never re
ceiving the rizlit treatment after all.
To such the discovery of a physician who
understands his or her case, who applies the
right treatment and lelieves the sufferer
from pain and distress, is like a burst of
sunlight through an apparently Impene
trable fog.
Dm. Copeland, Hall and Byers do not pro
tend to be more skillful than alt other phy
sicians, but the statements they present
from week to week frequently show that
they have succeeded in curing cases that
dozens of reputable physicians have failed
in. The following statoment is additional
evidence in this respect, and Is interesting
a showing how completely Drs. Copeland,
Hall and Byers master cases of chronic dis
ease that come before them.
Mrs. Elizabeth HInner, a widow lady, re
siding at rear Xo. 633 Firth avenue, has been,
suffering ror some time with a complication
of troubles which bad baffled the skill of her
family physicians. One treated her for liver
trouble, another lor heart trouble, and still
another for stomach trouble, but she found
no relief until she consulted Drs. Copeland,
Hall and Byers.
It seems very strange to Drs- Copeland,
HaU and Byers that so few physicians look
beyond the actual seat of pain for the cause
of a disease,' when thoyall are taught the
same lessons In pnysiology and pathological
anatomy at the different medical colleges.
Now that physiology Is being taught in the
schools even a child knows that thepneumo
gastrio nerve, which has nerve filaments
distributed to the bearr, the lungs and tba
stomach, controls these different organs, and
that where one is affected the others are
liable to sympathize with it by exhibiting
pain, dlsoidered function, etc.
If a glass or cold water is drank while one
is in an oveiheated condition paralysis of
the heart and instant death are apt to occur
thiough the action ot this great nerve.
Hence it Is easy to understand bow a disor
dered condition of the stomach can produce
a perverted action of the heart and lungs,
causing palpitation or fluttering or the
heart and difficult breatblmr. and all the
various symptoms resulting from disordered
circulation and respiration, such as cold
hands and feet, smothering or suffocative
sensations, dizztnes,nervousness and trem
bling ot the limbs and body, so bad at times
that one staggers as if intoxicated and has
to eventually sit down or crasp something
for support to keep from falling.
Tour Nervousness, Palpitation. Smother
ing Spells, Etc, Are Not Due to Heart
Trouble! No! Read Mrs. Hipner's State
ment as Given Below and Ton Can Then
Understand the Cause, and, Understanding,
Seek the Physicians Who Have Obtained a
Scientific Mastery Over These Ailment.
STOMACH AND HEAET TEOUBI.E.
Another Cure Which Again Proves the Cor
rectness of Drs. Copeland, Hall and
Byers Theory That These Troubles 1Bjto
Dae to a General Catarrhal Condition of
the Body.
"I have been troubled since last May with
a complication of diseases," says Mrs. Hip
ner, "and have tried numerous doctors and
patent medicines without avail until I con
sulted Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers. My
principal ttoubie seemed to be with my
stomach. I had a bad, pasty taste in my
mouth every morning when I first got np.
with no appetite at all for breakfast. If I
forced mvseir to eat something then the
trouble began with pain, sickness, a heavy
distressing feeling, bloating and rifting, etc.
After awhile paloi tation or fluttering of the
heart would set in and I would feel as If I
Mm. Eliz beOi Bipner, Rear SSS Fifth Av., Cit.
was coing to smother or choke. I would get
so dizzy or licht headed and my heart would
beat so hard 1 would have to sit down and
gasp for breath.
"At night my heart would often beat so
hard I could not sleeo. and I would awaken
in the niornlmr sore, tired, and aching all
over, not a Ditrestea orroiresuea.
"I also had a constant headache, stoppage
of the nostrils with drooping of inncus Into
my throat, which kopt me hawking and
spitting to clear away. A ball would often
gather in my throat which I could neither
get np nor down, when I wonld got these
suffocating spells.
"When I called at Drs. Copeland. Hall and
Byers' office I was feeling very miserable
and the sympathetic manner In which they
talked to me nnd explained my trouble
brightened and cheered me np. They as
sured me that they understood my trouble
thoroughly, as thev saw hundreds of cases
just like it and knew exactly what to do,
that my trouble was due to a general catar
rhal condition of the whole system, more
particularly affecting the stomach, aud
that the other symptoms were merely sym
pathetic and would disappear as my stom
ach trouble was relieved.
"The results in my case have proved the
wisdom of their counsel and the Justness of
their claims and methods of treatment, as
all the distressing symptoms have disap
peared. My stomach Is now all right, have
no trouble with my heart or with my
breatbiiifr, and I sleep all night and wake In
the morning greatly refreshed and rested.
I heartily indorse Dis. Copeland, Hall and
Byers as skilirul physicians and kindly and
humane gentlemen."
Of a Personal Nature.
If Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers are
proud of one thing more than another 1c Is
the fact that their patients have a feeling of
genuine affection and gratitude for them
long after giving up tieatment, for the
kindly interest manifested in their cases. It
is a genuine pleasure for thotn to follow a
peculiarly aggravated chronic disease
through its different phases, noting the
symptoms or each stage, especially as it
nears a favorable termination. Next to the
patient and the patient's family they are
best pleased at the approach of this end, for
there Is nothing so precious as perfect
health, and there is no happiness so perfect
as that or a physician when he can say to a
loving husoand, wire or parent, "hero, I
hand you back your loved one restored to
health at last."
