TO SIGN CONTRACT
Says He is Making More
Money Sticking to the
Billiard Parlors.

Johnny King. cub holdout catcher,
and President Murphy of the Chicago
Nationals had an informal talk yester-
day in the latters Masonic Temple Of
fees over the position in which the
star backstop stands this season in re-
gard to rejoinfng the club. Nothing
of a definite nature was decided. King
came on here from his home at Kansas
City, Mo, where he is running a bill
lard hall, at Murphy's request.
Although Murphy would not divulge
the essence of his talk with Killing, he
intimated that he would not be sur

usual position some time during the
championship season.

s0X-RED GAME CALLED OFF.

Cincinnati. O., April S.-The worlds
champions We're once more baked in
an effort to show before the baseball
fans Of Cincinnati. Rain poured down
yesterday after the team and about
1000 fans were at the ball park. Men
rushed sawdust and blankets on the
base lines and the fellows continued to
practice while the big drops spattered
over them, but it was Of no use. The
thunder clashed a couple of times and
the clouds poured barrels OF water on
the park and it had to be called off.
However. the fans here are to have
another chance to see Nick AltroclS
perform as we'll as see what worlds
champions can do. After much DELHI
GRAFTON Cominkey and Manager Jones
have consented to bring the champions
back here Wednesday for a game with
the reds. They are to go up to Spring
field in the morning for a two days
stand against the Central league club
OF that place and then will exhibit
here before going to St Louis for the
opening game of the season on Thurs
day.

PLAYERS ANNEX MANY SHOES
Home Run Batters In Major Leagues
Are Often Rewarded.

On the eve of the 1907 baseball sea-
son the players in the major leagues
are specializing on the prospects of
such substantial rewards as character
lied the national game last season. 1t
Is not generally known, for instance,
that exactly los pairs Of shoes were
given away for home runs on five
grounds alone-the New York National
and American, the Boston National and
American and the Brooklyn National
grounds.
Necessity IS the mother of pinch
batting. as it is Of other inventions"
declared Cy Seymour the veteran slug
ger of the Giants at New Orleans the
other day. For instance" he added,
Il never try SO hard for a home run as
when I need another pair of shoes, and
yet I cannot pull off a four base hit
anywhere near as certainly as on the
home grounds. Why? Because there
is always a pair of shoes waitin' at the
plate or Whereabouts"
Twenty eight pairs of shoes were
given away on the Boston American
grounds. fourteen on the Boston Ma
tional and twenty three pairs on the
Brooklyn, besides eighteen pairs on the
polo grounds.

LINEUP SAME
AS LAST YEAR
White Sox Begin Season
With Same Players on
the Same Sacks.
MAY Be ONE CHANGE
Handsome Nick" Altrock VIII Like
~ Serve as Pitcher-Otherwise
No Difference.

The White Sox will go into the first
game of the season of 1907 with prob
ably the exact lineup that played in
the last game last fall that made them
champions of the world. The pitcher
may be different, but otherwise the
team is likely to start off just where
1t quit Nick Altrock will likely be
the pitcher, with Sullivan catching.
Donohue will be on first base, Isbell on
second. TannehiIl at short and Robe on
third. Dougherty will be in left field,
Jones in center and Hahn in right.
That lineup should be enough to strike
bit of fear into the Browns, but they
will undoubtedly have Harry Howell
in the box and the Sox have always had
a difficult time beating his spit ball.
The White Sox are well prepared for
the start of the season. There is no
question that they are better fixed than
they We're at the opening last season.
Then they fell back for a time and had
to scratch to catch up with the lead
ers. This year. Manager Jones pro-
poses to go after the games right at
the start and never get back in the
second division. With the men in their
present condition it will take a lot of
good teams to keep them from leading
at the start
The Sox pitchers alone should be able
to hold the team up this year at the
start. There are five of them here with
the regulars now and they are all in
condition. Last year Doc" White was
not ready for more than six weeks af-
ter the season opened. Walsh was not
in shape until July and Nick had a
sore arm much of the time at the start.
Frank owen had almost double the
work to do at that time. but made good
until relief came. But this year DOC"
White is ready to pitch the first game
If asked. Altrock is humming right
now and Walsh has his spit ball down
Just about as god as he did in the fall.

CRECENTS RETURN.

Seven trave1-worn young men, dis
tfnguished from the crowd that had
gathered to meet them by a small CO.
on their caps, stepped off the train at
Evanston yesterday and marked the
end of the Crescent five basket ball
tour, the longest and most successful
of its kind on record.
The Crescents have travelled 9.463
miles since their departure on Dec. II
and have played in sixty cities of the
United States and the two royal prov
inces of Ontario and British Columbia.
Their record in games won and lost
stands "a in their favor against sixteen
defeats. The team has met the strong
est fives in the country, on strange
floors, and the record made by the
Evanston team is remarkable in view
of the many handicaps of visiting bas-
ket ball teams.

Clean Food is
Best NOuriSher
Maintains Vigorous Health. Keeps Up
Energy and Wards on Disease.

Cleanliness Is next to Goodness"
Cleanliness prevents epidemics, de-
stroys disease and guarantees robust,
vigorous. rosy health in men. women
and children. 1t is positively necessary
in food. Cleanliness, absolute cleanH-
ness, is the rigid rule Of making Malta
Vita.
One may live entirely on Malta Vita
and never tire of il as of other foods,
because it is predigested whole wheat
in which the starch is changed by pure
malt extract into nourishing maltese,
ready for absorption by the blood. IL
supplies in correct proportions all the
natural elements required to build up
brain and body. 1t feeds muscles,
nerves and bones.
Children fed on Malta-Vita are free
from headaches, brightminded for
study and vigorous for work and play.
They thrive Wonderfully. Brain work
ers and hand workers are in every way
benefited by it's use.
Nervous and headachy people find ii
especially beneficial Women and girls
derive clear eompleXions and vigorous
health from a diet of Malta Vita. In
fact 1t is a food which can be relied
upon by every member of the family.
All like it. All grocers sell IL.

city and surrounding territory and is
having troubles with his partners and
creditors. Because of the feeling
against the promoter meeting of ten
leading sports has been called and
Riley will be relieved of the manage
ment of the Schreck- Willie fight.
w. S. Johnson and Abe Brown, in
whom the Nevada public has expressed
confidence, have been asked to head
the affair and will probably accept.

fight the proper attention, and if sat
isfactory arrangements cannot be made

IN MEMORIAM.

Little son OF Mr.. and Mrs. Jack
Bachelor.
Our little Ora has gone to rest.
He sleeps beneath the churchyard
sod:
Once sweet upon his mothers breast,
But now an angel with his God.
Obi how can parents help but weep,
At loosing such a darling child,
That now has gone to his last sleep
In life so gentle. sweet and mild.
It's hard to give our baby up;
A fathers pet mothers joy.
But we must drink the bitter cup.
And give to God our darling boy;
We can only say. Thy Will be done,
He has gone forever from our gaze;
1t seems as though our hearts would
break,
And a cloud hangs over our future
days.
Mrs. NJ Smith.

yell and singing class songs. The
juniors, who held forth in the gallery.
waited until the services had begun
when they hung an effigy of a senior
over the railing. The president of the
university managed to keep order IN
til chapel was over. Then the seniors
rushed out after the juniors and when
they arrived in front of the West hall
the juniors stopped, and a fierce class
fight followed, lasting over an hour.
The seniors were declared victorius
as they succeeded in wrestling the eff
fgy from the juniors and made off with
it.
During the fight none Of the students
were seriously injured, although some

1906 have never been disclosed. Ths
nearest approach to definite infor-
nation was the statement made by
tthe Comptroller yesterday. II is
known that the total profits from
1882 to 1896 were s244,O25.4S5. In
that period the dividend distributions
amounted to s164.49O,460, leaving
$79,536,O25 for the surplus fund.
The period OF the Standards great.
est earnings has been since 1896. In
the ten years its dividend distrihu-
tions amount to s3S7,432,44G. For
only three of those years, 1908, 1904
and 1905, were its profits known,
until the tremendous profits were
made public in the latest examina.
tion. In 1903 its distributed $42,.
S77,516 In dividends, and in that
year its profits were $S1, 900. In
1904 1t distributed $35,4O1,7SS in
dividends and its profits were SELL
100000. In 1906 It distributed in
dividends s39,335,320 and its profits
were s57, 10000
For the three years its profits
amounted to s199.SOO, 900, while It's
dividend distributions were s117.-
614,624, leaving in that period alone
$S2,1S5,376 to be added to the sur
plus, an average of $27,395,125 a
year.
II the surplus additions averaged
that amount for ten years, 1t was
estimated at total Of s2T3,951, 25O,
which, added to the surplus fund ~
to 1896. would make a grand total oi
S353.4S7,275. The officer of tho
company admits the profits to be
nearly two hundred million dollars
