HOW BILL BRIGGS FOUND
A FIVE DOLLAR BILL
But You Can't Convince Dan Scadden
That He Wasn't "SOuth"
With The Money.

The story is told by Danny Scad-
den, who is now playing with New
Orleans in the Southern league.
Dan and Bill Briggs, going broke
after the season had closed, decided
10 move, and, being shy OF money,
took the usual course.
They got an Illinois Central train
and went underneath-"hit the
trucks "-and rode until a kindly
brakeman asked them to unload
TO chit the grit"
Going up town Briggs. who had
been riding the rear trucks of the
coach, asked Danny If he would like
to have drink-which he would
and sprung a five-dollar bill on him.
This put Danny on the blink for
moment, and finally he gasped:
Where did you get that, Mr.. Hold
out?'
Old rBill" with smile, said:
Say, Skate, as | was doing on
the trucks right back of you, taking
all the dust and mud that was COM
ing-all at once something hit me
in the face. | reached up to take it
off, but when | grabbed it off, it
looked like money, and I held it
till the train stopped. Dis is de
result" and he passed over two dol
lars to his pal.
Danny said: "Old pal; I've read
Monte Cristo, and had bad dreams,
but you are one of two things-the
best holdout in the country, or the
d-dest liar the world ever knew"
which is probably the truth.

SULLIVAN MAKES GOOD
AND GATHERS FRIENDS
Greatest Little Boxer Seen i'm Ring
at Ogden With Good Backing
Can Whip Thompson.

Pete Sullivan was seen Thursday,
the day after his victory over Cyclone
Thompson, and he stated that the
Cyclone gave him a hard run for his
money, but with three or four weeks
training he is now confident that he
can defeat Thompson in ten rounds
at 1873 ringside. He said that Thomp-
son had several pounds weight over
him, and, together with only a few
days training, he got tired early in
the contest. Sullivan said that
Thompson had done no damage until
the fifteenth round, when Sullivan
got careless and put over a slow
right. Thompson came back quick
and landed hard right to the jaw
which nearly put Sullivan out of
commission. Sullivan said that he
could not understand the light prop
osition in the ring. The lights were
put out twice and it was suggested
that the match be called off, but Sui
Ivan insisted that he could box in
the dark as well as in the light The
only mark Sullivan bears is cut
over the right eye which had just
healed up the result of stiff punch
from Mantell during training. Sui
Ivan says that there are no more
hurry-up affairs for him. He must
have at least three weeks training.
He was very happy yesterday be-
cause of the fact that he has proven
to the public that he did not come
as a dub, and today stands as one of
the best lightweights in the country.
If Thompson will make 1913 ringside
for another match, several of the
local sports say they have $4,000 to
back Sullivan, or any part of 1t.

SOME AUTO TIPS
FOR AUTO FANS

An effective and easily procured
dope for gasoline joints Is soap.
When the front tires show unusual
wear the wheels are probably out OF
alignment. Have them trued up.
Don't operate your engine with
too rich a mixture. 1t will inevitably
lead to a deposit of carbon on the
sylinder walls.
The motorist who uses the same
funnel with which to fill both water
carburetor troubles.
After cleaning a bearing with gas
oline or kerosens, don't forget to lu-
bricate it. The absence of oil will
result in the presence of ''hot box
Don't use resin on leather-ined
clutch to prevent it from slipping
1t will wear it quickly. An applica-
ton of castor oil is best When that
fails, tighten up the clutch spring.
Here's temporary relief from APP
parently dead dry cells, that will
tide you over until you reach home.
Remove the paper covering of the
dry cells, bore few holes in the zinc
and pour over them a solution of
weak vinegar.
When the motor misses don't jump
to the conclusion that the spark plug
is worn out. It's efficiency may only
be temporarily impaired. SCOT or
dirt may have lodged on the points
and insulating surfaces, resulting in
a short circuit. The impeachment can
be removed with gasoline.
When testing the gasoline tank
for leaks. use kerosene in preference
to gasoline. because the latter eyapo-
rates too quickly to locate slow leaks.
Kerosene is also useful for testing
an oiling system. It's better and
shows up leaks through which the
oil would not penetrate for some
time.

hard fight to keep their position. He
has brought the New York Ameri-

game, and it is sorrow to all fans
to hear of his quitting the game.
Griffith was wonder in his day,

greatest baseball managers in the
game today. The diamond loses one
of it's brightest stars, and fans who
knew and loved him will mourn the
loss.
