NEW YORK, July 20-Urged on by
the fans and critics alike, Manager
Jimmy McAleer of the st. Louis
Americans is trying hard to put
through deals that will strengthen the
Browns. Manager Stallings of New
York has offered Outfelders Fngle and
Demmitt and cash consideration for
RUDE Waddell, the Browns star left
hand twirler. AS the St. Louis club
has been in sad straits for an out
fielder the past month or more and the
Yankees in the same predicament for
a star twrler, the deal is more than
likely to go through. McAleer's out
field is shot to pieces owing to what
looks to be a permanent injury to Al
Swietzer and George Stones crippled

CANNOT STEAL THIS CAR.
Gasoline Locks Prevent Theft Of the
Automobile These Days.

The problem of how to prevent the
unauthorized use of an automobile
has always been one of considerable
weight, from the owners standpoint
Not until the present season did
any manufacturer offer a solution
says Charles t Jeffrey of Thomas B.
Jeffrey & Company, makers of the
Rambler
1T is from these little things that
the motorists derive most satisfac ton
as in knowing that his car cannot be
used without his permission when it
is left on the street or at a strange
garage
The Rambler is now provided with
a gasoline lock which prevents the
gasoline supply reaching the motor
except after the flow has been made
possible by the turning of a small
key. This is one of the unpretentious
but excellent features OF this car
which is quite likely to become gen.
eral. Like the gasoline gauge of the
Rambler. it is not in sight until want
ed and then Immediately useful.

FRUIT HARVESTER
A NEEDED MACHINE

I carly months of spring, their talents
are directed to picking Strawberries,
the first fruit to show, the spring har-
binger of a whole host of delicious and
heaIthful natural sweets.
The grower of Strawberries on
big scale keeps a list of Italians who
can furnish him betty pickers in any
desired number.
The work is done on a modified
form of the padrone system, which is
so popular in Italy that it has been
carried along into all countries to
which the sWarthy Tuscans have mi
grated.
The farmer goes to the italian and
contracts for the services of say so
berry pickers. He pays the Italian so
much per hand, the prices ranging ac-
cording to the number of men, women
and children in the company The men
get the most, then come the women
and finally the youngsters.
The boss pays his help. From tene-
ments in which they have been living
in the winter months comes the mot
ley attired horde of betty pickers

NEW YORK, July 20.-Lives there
an athlete in America today who can

in athletic circles, interest being eX-
cited by Martin Sheridan's recd'd

put up the new mark of 1885 points.
Many think that Sheridan can do 700
points better than this record, but

Lost Twenty Pounds.
Here is another important point that
candidates overlook in their .prepara-
ton and the public never thinks about
and that is proper care in training
Sheridan actually lost twenty pounds
on the field at Celtic park dt,ing the
two hours he was engaged in the ten
athletic events. Physicians will shake
facts are proved by reputable wit
nesses who saw Sheridan on the scales
before and after the games In all his
recent training before the competition
Sheridan has never weighed under 1872
pounds, and averaged close to 1873
pounds stripped. Before going on the
field he weighed 205 IL pounds in his
street clothes. and when he was ready
to leave the park afteh the games he

1t seems almost beyond belief that
trained athlete coulc lose twenty
pounds in about two hours. and even
less credible that under such a loss he
would be able to get home without
assistance in an ambulance The Sc
cret is of the kind of athletes who
follow the ideas of Lawson Robertson
in not OVERRIDING their daily stunt and
in long and careful preparation,
doing a little every day and GRADUAL
ly increasing the stunt up to that
point where the body and vital organs
are all working in unison and all parts
can be dependen upon to do their du
ty. No athlete trained to the min
ute" could get within 1000 points of
Sheridan's record. One as hard as

Trained Carefully.
Sheridan began his training last
February. In the spring he did con-
siderable work at the Pastime a. c.
studied out his weakest points and
carefully worked to improve them. for
Sheridan is far from being the scrt
of athlete whose main reliance is brute
strength. On the contrary, he is one
of the best students of athletics in
America. and few trainers have b tier
knowledge on all-arOund subjects.
