IF THE JOB WE'RE PERMANENT
Speedway Winner Would Have an
Awful Salary.

Indianapolis. Ind, Jan. 6.-Who
wants salary of $13,140,OOO year?
Nobody?
The figures almost stagger the aver
age person who figures that a salary
of $4,000 year is good. yet the use of
a little calculation shows that the win
ner of the 500 mile international
sweepstakes motor race on the In
dianapolis motor speedway, Memorial
day, May 80, will be drawing a salary
of that rate for the time consumed in
driving the contest.
The figures would mount much
higher If the side money which will
be given along with the $4,000 purse
is considered. The winner will receive
$4,000 from the speedway while
makers of various accessories will con-
tribute about $1,000 additional to his
pot of gold and donate literally to the
winners of the other nine prizes offer
ed which total $4,000.
On a mileage basis the winner will
receive $50 for every mile driven. and
the rate of travel maintained in the
race will be about rs miles per hour
This is the richest offer ever made in
the history of automobile racing and
is proving a magnet for the greatest
pilots in the world. True, the race
will be one of the toughest battles

TENNEY OUT WITH GRAB HOOKS
Becker viii Leave McGraw Bunch for
Boston Steady.

New York, Jan 6-"The shopping
tour" of Fred Tenney, manager of the
Boston rustlers who was in New York
last week calling on "the trade" may
result in the return of Outfielder Beals
Becker to the team that harbored him
until last spring, when he was trans
ferred to the Giants. At least that is g.
theory projected by the Boston scouts
Tenney also needs a catcher, and IL
McGraw develops a good youngster
next spring, the veteran Admiral Schlei
may don Boston uniform.
Tenney signed his contract in Boston
last Wednesday and got busy right
away. First he inspected the baseball
wares of the New York club and then
hoped on a train and came to New
York, where he had a long talk with
Shopkeeper McGraw. So far no holi-
day packages have been delivered to
is known that Tenney fancies Becker
and would be glad to acquire Schlei,
as he needs an experienced catcher to
assist Peaches" Graham.
Becker never was satisfied with his
New York engagement, not that he did
not get along with his teammates or
McGraw, but because he was not as
signed regularly to the outf1eld. In
Boston he was regular and a capable
performer, but McGraw could not see
last summer by banishing either De-
wore or Murray, and, as Snodgrass hit
so we'll up to the last month of the
season, there was no chance for
Becker to break into center field.
But Becker never fancied the utility
role and pinned for a chance to play
every day He would have preferred
to have remained in Boston as a regu-
lar than to be with the Giants as a
substitute Many athletes would rather
play occasionally in New York than
steadily in Boston, but Becker was not
one of these. He has a lot Of energy
stored up in his little frame and It
gave him the fidgets to stick to the
bench Neither did he care for the
pinch hitting assignment, for he
claimed that he could neither hit nor
run bases as we'll as if he played in the
field every day. Every time Murray
had a batting slump the fans would
| importune McGraw to put Becker in
right field, but the manager considered
Jack more valuable man, both as
base runner and a ground coverer in
| the field

George Starnagle, the catcher includ-

man ahead of him, Blair. Rochester

season sold him back for s., 1000, accord

LEFT THEIR MARK.
SIayers of Boron Branded His Cheek
With an S.

London, Jan. 6.-Another element of
mystery developed today in the inquest
into the death of Joseph Boron, whose
mutilated body was found on Clapham
commons last Sunday. The murder is
attributed by the police to the Hounds
ditch anarchist burglar gang, two
members of which were killed in the
raid on their den Tuesday. The physi-
clans who examined Beron's body said
they found on each cheek a wound
cleanly cut in the form of the letter

ate cutting did not cause death, was
quite symmetrical and obviously sunnbo-

The inquest was adjourned to January

The police accept the theory that
Boron was killed by the members of
an organization who left the sign of
their order upon the body of the vic
tim. The police are not satisfied that
peter the Painter" was one of the
two men killed in the Sidney street
battle and are now working on the
theory that he is alive and still at
large. Throughout the night 200 armed
officers secured the district of the east
end and another spectacular fight is
feared should the fugitive be cornered.

His Wife Says They Are Going

Yes. indeed, Jerry makes a lot of

RHEUMATISM
WEAK KIDNEYS & Thin BLOOD

Not only is the blood the great
nourishing source of our systems, but
equally as important is its work of
removing the waste of oxodized it's
sues which have been consumed In
force and bodily heat. This waste Is
filtered out through the kidneys.
When, however, the kidneys become
weak and unable to perform their
regular duties, the waste is allowed
to remain in the circulation, soon
forming uric acid which destroys the
greater portion of nourishing elements
Of the blood and leave it weak and
acrid. This imperfect blood deposits
into the different muscles and joints
the uratic impurity with which it Is
contaminated. Then the pains and
aches of Rheumatism commence. The
gritty formation which uric acid
causes collects in the joints and pro-
duces the aches and stiffness which
always accompany the disease. Like
wise the muscles are coated and lose
their elasticity, while the continual
irritation to the nerves produces SWELL
ing and Inflammation of the flesh.

The Kansas City Alumni has been
talking with Bluck recently and they
say that he is willing to return to
school and study hard II he will be
allowed to play football. The matter
was taken up with Captain Hackney
and he consulted the university au-
thorities. He was told that there was
no reason why Bluck could not return
to school and that If his school work
for the second semester this year was
satisfactory he would be eligible to
play with the Tigers next year. Many
football rooters here believed that 1t
would be impossible for Bluck to re-
turn to school because he had been
expelled from the institution. But he
was not expelled. He was suspended
and only for one semester. He could
have returned to school last fall If he
desired, but he could not have played

that the recommendation urged by
