Myers Is Best Catcher
In National, Says AnsOn

ALBANY, n. Y, Jan. Eff Pop"
Anson's measurement of baseball play
ers is to be regarded as the last word.
then Big Chief Myers. the Indian
catcher of the New York Giants, has
every reason to swell out his chest.
Anson declares that the big Indian IS
the best catcher in the National League.
He so stated during brief visit he
had with Gov. John A. Dix. He did not
elaborate. He merely stated that New
York city should be proud Of the Indian
catcher, and that before another season
ends he will have shown himself the
peer of Killing, Gibson, Archer, Street,
and all the rest of the backstops.
Anson merely called to pay his re-
spects to the governor, who, unlike
some other persons in public life, nota-
bly, President Taft and Vice President
Sherman, is not a fan" Singularly
enough, Anson arrived at the chamber
at the same time as did John B. Stanch-
field, one of the leading Democrats of
the state and once a pitcher.

John McGraW Predicts
Pennant for His Team

NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-John McGraw,
manager of the New York Giants, pre-
dicted today that New York would win
the National League pennant in 1912.
McGraw, basing his predictions upon
the strength of the present years team,
declared that neither Chicago nor
Pittsburg would stand a show against
the 1911 aggregation of Giants.
1.-The Cubs and Pirates are sure to
play inferior ball because they have a
clared McGraw. THE Cub combination
has been busted and the Pittsburg
Pirates lack pitchers. Cincinnati may
give us a tussle, but they can't beat
US out"

Shilling Not to Ride
In Germany Next Year

PARIS, Tex. Jan. 12.-Cal- Shilling,
probably the best jockey of the last
decade today declined the offer of
princely retainer to ride in Germany
next year for Baron Weinberg.
Shilling said that he is tied up as
long as he is able to ride. with Sam
Hildreth. and will ride the best of
that wizards horses whether he races
in this country, England or France
next year.
Hildreth was extremely liberal with
Shilling last year. For winning the
Futurity with Novelty, a race that
was won more by the boy than the
horse, Hildreth gave Shilling $1,000.
All told the big owner gave Shilling,
on whose services he had the first
call, $4,000 for his riding. In ad
dition Sam picked Shilling's outside
mounts with such care that he was
able to annex $4,000 additional, max
ing his winnings for the season $50,
coo.

SHERMAN PLANNING
MANY POOL MATCHES
Former Champion May En-
ter Lists to Regain
Lost Title.

With a view Of priming himself for
future competitions for pool titles,
Frank Sherman. OF this city, former
worlds champion, has decided to enter
a number Of matches during the winter.
The last time the Washington man
appeared in a championship match was
at Chicago in 1903, and. although he was
most successful, he retired after this
and most of his playing since then has
been simply as a pastime.
In his exhibition with L. F. Carter,
of Ruffalo. on Tuesday night, Sherman
showed such flashes of his old-time form
that his friends have persuaded him
that he can regain his proper stride, so
he has decided to once more enter the
field.
Within a short time Sherman expects
to announce a series of exhibitions with
cracks of washington and other cities.

RHEUMATISM
PAINFUL g. DANGEROUS

Rheumatism is due to a diseased
condition of the blood cells and cor
puscles, brought about by an excess
of uric acid in the circulation. Itis
not only very painful disease but an
extremely dangerous trouble. The
briny, acrid state of the blood gradu-
ally forms a coating over the mus
cles, and by depositing cement-ltke
substance in the joints frequently
terminates fatally, or leaves its vic
tim a hopeless cripple 1t Is natural
to doctor the spot that hurts, and
tits quite right tp use liniments, hot
applications, etc, to get temporary
relief from a painful joint or swollen
tendon; but Rheumatism is not a
skin disease, and such things, when
depended on alone make one care
less, and the disease gets a frrrer
hold on the blood. S. S. S. cures
the disease because it is the greatest
OF all blood purifiers. It goes into

day announced that the annual indoor

DR.. d. Elmer Wiber, of this city, de-
ceased, will be definitely determined at

From present indications it would ap-
pear that to ]. Edward Tyler, jr., the
vice president, will fall that honor.

be willing to ha3uIe t5e reins of the as

Secretary Treasurer w. J. Leimkuhl-
cr has notified all the members of the

before DR. Wiber's death plans had
been formulated for carrying on the
indoor championship events. and it
was to have been decided the week
the chief executive died. This will be
one of the matters formulated. Sew
cral of the officers on the board who
have been approached on the subject
are favoring a complete championship

deemed it wise to award several
events to the various games to be
held during the winter.

RACING GIVES FAME

Makers of Automobiles Often
Get Start BY Success
of Speed Cars.
By HARRY WARD.


1t Is a significant fact that every
manufacturer who has made a success
Of building and selling automobiles laid
the foundation of his success in racing
or endurance contests.
AS pointed out by c. A. Emise, racing
manager of the Dozier company, even
those manufacturers who have not
taken part in races during the last
three or four years, will be remembered
by those familiar with the early his
tory of automobiling as having been
prominently identified with road and
track events.
THE Packard Gray Wolf the Peer
less Green Dragon and the Winton
Bullet were speedy cars that made
early racing history in America" said
Mr.. Emise. 1T is likewise true that
the leading foreign makers made their
regulations through participation in
speed contests. Thousands of dollars
were spent annually In preparing for
road and track races and experimenting
on types of cars to be used for this
work. number of manufacturers have
withdrawn from racing, but the lessons
they learned in early contests are un-
mistakably shown in their product. The
thoughtless observer frequently COM
ments on the large expense involved in
preparation for and participation In con-
tests. believing that the sole object Is
to obtain publicity. The manufacturer
knows that a deeper lesson is learned,
and that the invaluable experience gain
ed enables him to build cars that will
stand and endure
Representative Nicholas Longworth,
of the First Ohio district, has been
asked to use his influence to secure Tor
the automobile show to be held in Gill;
cinnati during the week of February
~ some sort of a good roads exhibit
from the Good Roads Bureau OF the Dc
partment of Agriculture. Mr.. Long
worth has taken up the matter with
the department, and it is likely an at
tractive and educational good roads
exhibit will be sent to Cincinnati. Mr.
Iongworth is an enthusiastic motor1St
and spends considerable time touring
during the summer.
Commenting on the good roads tour
now being made by party Of motor

BOARD ADVOCATED
ASSEMBLYMAN BiCHLER INTRO
DUCES MEASURE PROVIDING
CHANGES IN PRESENT LAW.
NO COMPULSORY FEATURES
New System for Testing Cattle and
Adjusting Costs Set Forth is Bill
State to Return Full Value of
Stock /: Lessons Are Not Found.

Madison. - AssembIyman Bichler
Of Ozaukee county has put in his long
expected tuberculin test bill and it
was referred to the committee on
purity of commodities. The bill takes
away the present compulsory feature
of the law and makes several other
changes, the clause relating to ap-
praisal of animals being one of the
more important
The bill calls for the appointment
by the county boards annually of one
appraiser in each city, village and
town, who shall be competent judges
of cattle values. When animals are
condemned the livestock sanitary
board is required to submit to the
owner a list Of five appraisers from
which the owner selects three to make
the appraisal The value of the con-
demned animals is limited to 500
for pedigreed cattle, SIS for non-ped-
igreed and $50 for common cattle
The appraisers receive So day from
the county. Full value is returned
by the state if tubercular LESSONS are
not found and three-fourths the value,
not to exceed $50, if they are found
after slaughter.
The single feature in which the bill
is compulsory, has to do with cattle
sold at public auctions. The Bichler
bill requires sellers to inform buy
ers whether the cattle have reacted
under the tuberculin test within a
given period, but it contains no re-
quirement for test before a private

u. s. MAKES MOVE
IN MEXICAN WAR
American interests Must Not Be
Endangered.
| SITUATION Is NOW ACUTE
Army Officers Along Border Ordered
to Prevent Recurrence of Incl
dents at Battle Near
Aqua Prieta.

Washington. = Imperative warning
TO the government Of Mexico that ii
refrain from selecting places for their
battles with the tnsurrecuonists
which would menace American lives
and property was sent to the City OF
Mexico.
Acting on instructions from the
president, the war department has adj
Vised it's military officers along the
frontier and especially near Aqua
Prieta, to prevent a recurrence of the
incidents Of the battle at that place
by which non-combatant American
citizens in Douglas, Ariz., were killed
and wounded.
The British cruiser Shearwater
landed marines at San Quentin, Lower
California, to protect British citizens
at that place and has moved from
San Quentin to Ensenada.
The foregoing are three of the most
important developments in the Mexi-
can situation, which is described of
6ciaIly by the administration as acute.
While the administration is disposed
to regard the affair at Aqua Prieta as
an incident" of warfare, the official
opinion is that the recurrence of such
Incidents would precipitate an ex-
tremely grave crisis.
All the departments of the govern
ment are apparently exercising the
most friendly regard for the Mexican
government. In fact, it is officially
stated that the troubles in Mexico are
Of such character that it requires all
possible self-restraint on the part of
this government in dealing with the
situation.
The administration is disposed to
think that the presence of American
citizens near the battle of Aqua Prieta
was unnecessary and that many of
them put themselves voluntarily in
danger. But aside from that fact the
dispatches show that the mauser
bullets found innocent people in their
homes on the American side and that
one girl was shot
No sooner had the facts been ascer-
tanned than conference was called
by the president at the White House
There were present Secretary of War
Dickinson, Attorney General Wicker
sham, Acting Secretary of State
Huntington Wilson and Solicitor
Clarke of the state department.
At this conference the state depart
ment was instructed to make repre-
sensations to the Mexican government
and the secretary of war sent instruc-
tons to General Bliss to advise his
officers to prevent the recurrence of
the affair at Aqua Prieta.

Out of loyalty to his own sex the
manager of the woman's suit depart

first batch of letters dictated to the
man were written to about 100 old
customers, whom he invited to ex-

sale. The day after the letters were
mailed the women flocked into the
store, but the fire that burned in their
eyes was the fire Of the avenger rath-

word which each woman had under

wrath. The garments, so the manager
had meant to say, had been designed
for women Of stock figure such as they
