MaeVeagh combines unusual qualifca-
tons for the Treasury post. He is a law

broad-minded and public-spirited citizen.
Though never a holder OF public ONCE
and but once an applicant for public

an address on good citizenship Mr.. Mac

man Of large affairs VINO stHl has time

for twenty minutes before Berger
summoned up enough courage to LET
the old grizzly of the ring enter.
At the conclusion of Jeffries' turf
with Berger he made short speech
saying:

smaller leagues for next season, ac-
cording to the records of the National
Commission. The American League
clubs have spent more money for
new material than the National clubs.
Charles Momiskey, owner of the Chi
cago American League Club, has
spent more than any other club, his
purchases amounting to $55,650.
Blackburn, the Providence short
stop, cost Comiskey $4,000, he being
the highest priced captured from the
minors. The Washington club has
spent only $500 for fresh material.

SHOWING
IN DESERT RACE

PHOENIX, Ariz., November Sine
Buick car, driven by ]. K. Nikrent,
won the great 480-mile desert race
from Los Angeles to Phoenix, which
ended here today.
The Columbia, with Harold Stone
driving, was second and the Stude-
baker, Bert Latham driver, third
The official time announced is: Buick,
1913; Columbia, 23:35:20; Studebak-
err, G4:56:40. The Kisselllar arrived
at 4:10, and it's running time is given
as 26:04:23. The Isotta had trouble
at Quartzite, which prevented it from
possibly winning second place. The
car was repaired, however, and con-
tinued to within a mile and quar-
ter of the fair grounds, where the
race ended when it's motor died and
the car was towed in. It's running
time was 22;36:06, including the tow
ing.
The Elmore and Pennsylvania have
not been heard from since they left
Ehrenburg
The time made by the Buick is re-
markable, considering the condition
of the roads. The time made in last
years race was 3O:36, and while it
was anticipated that this time would
be cut down materially this year, no
driver of any of the contestants was
bold enough to prophesy before the
race started that less than % hours
would be made.
