Practically every change met with unanimous approval but the "Cincin nati base hit." This ruling, which last year was to give a batsman credit for a hit when a play was made to get a base runner going to a base, but, ■ being too late, was the bone of con-, tention. On the vote polled 35 mem bers voted against continuing the rule, while 26 were in favor of it. Most of the opposition to the ruling came from Chicago and New York. Philadelphia writers were divided on the question, so were the Hub scribes, while in other cities in the West the "Cincin nati" WHS in favor. Jack Ryder, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, fathered the rule, but now that the baseball scribes have come out flat-footed against it the pitchers will benefit and the bats men suffer. There was quite a difference of opinion on the stolen base ruling. It was suggested this year that a base runner should be given credit for a stolen base as soon as he made a start to steal a base prior to a battery error. l,ast year if a man started to steal and a battery error was committed on the same play the error was charged up, but no stolen base. This year the rules committee suggested giving credit to the base runner and also crediting the battery error to whom it belonged. There was some opposition to this, but not enough to change the new ruling. Hereafter a batsman will get credit for a sacrifice, no matter whether the fielder catches or drops the ball, as long as the base runner scores. Of course, if the fielder drops the ball, he will get credit for an error, but the miscuc will not rob the batsman of a sacrifice hit, providing, of course, the base runner scores on the play. Another new change is that only one assist will be given any player who assists, in running down a man be tween tho bases, no matter how often . he handles the ball. Ail error shall also be charged to a player who prolongs the life of a base runner. An instance: With Cobb caught fairly off first on a snap throw by Bender to Mclnnis, but. Stuffy in his eagerness to tag Tv drops the ball. This prolongs Cobb's life, so therefore Mclnnis gets credit for an error. Last year no error was given on such a play. TAKE SALTS ID FLUSH KIDNEYS Eat less meat if you feel Backachy or have Bladder trouble Meat forms uric acid which excites and overworks the kidneys in their efforts to filter it from the system. Regular eaters of meat must flush the kidneys occasionally. You must relieve them like you relieve your bowels; removing all the acids, waste and poison, else you feel a dull mis ery in the kidney region, sharp pains In the back or sick headache, dizzi ness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine la cloudy, full of sediment.; the channels often get irritated, obliging you to get up two or three Umes dur ing the night. To neutralize these irritating acids and flush off the body's urinous waste get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take a table spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast fcr a few days and your kid neys will then act fine and bladder dis orders disappear. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys and stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts is inexpensive; harmless and makes a delightful effervescent lithla-water drink which millions of men and women take now and then, thus avoiding serious kidney and bladder d iseases.—A dvertisement.

Mrs. Heekert is one of the star wit nesses of the prosecution against Men del Gross and Florence Wilson, charged with pandering.

Eoeser, is counsel for the defense, took a hand at cross-examination. "Isn't it a fact." demanded Mr. Car-] ter, "that Miss Wilson loaned you this I kimono, her own kimono, so that you could take a bath.'' "SIR!" "That you might take your bath," reiterated Mr. Funk. "What?" Plainly the pretty wit ness was more than amazed. "That you might take your bath," again insisted Mr. Carter. "NO, SIR!" finally exploded Mrs. Heckert.
