An Easy Way
to Remove Blots-

Nothing is more provoking
than to blot or make a wron,
mark on a sheet of paper
that requires neat prepara-
tion. The rubber eraser
spoils the surface of the
paper SO that it cannot be
satisfactorily written on
again. The Sanford ink
people have placed an ink
eradicator on the market
that completely overcomes
all annoyance. You Simply
put a few drops Of fluid on
the blot or line and it disap-
pears leaving the surface OF
the paper as it was before.
You can get the preparation
at the Coop. Just ask for
Ink Eradicator. Our sales
people will show you exactly
how it works.

BUSH OF DETROIT
 DREW MOST PASSES
MIDGET sHORTsTOP LIED AMERI CAN LEAGUE IN WORKING
 PITCHERS.

Owen Bush, shortstop of the Detroit
 Tigers. must have two regrets as he scans the records showing the mum Der of bases on balls received by the American League players last season The midget drew more passes than any one else-110 all told, three of
 which were of the casualty kind-but all he gets for his activity in working the pitchers for transportation is hon orable mention.
 One of Busffs regrets is that an aI1- tonobile was not offered to the player obtaining the greatest number of passes instead of to the player who was the most valuable to his team
 Regret Mo- is that the scoring rules
 of 1912 as regards bases on balls are
 not the same they were in 1887. Then when a player received his base on balls he was not exempted from a time at bat, but he did get credit for making 8 base hit. Under the 1887 scoring rules Bush's batting average last season would have been .351
 Bush established an American League record last season by obtain ing no passes. In 1908 Fielder Jones of the Chicago White Sox procured 1O2 complimentary tickets to. first base from the pitchersIa record which held until last season, when Eddie Collins equaled 1t and Bush sur passed it.

DETROIT OWNER l. SAYS HE WILL NOT
 PAY COBB $I5,OO0

President Navin Of the Detroit club says: eff Cobb insists on SIS, 900 or nothing, it will have to be nothing. I positively will not pay him that much money, even if Detroit doesn't have a ball club in 40 years. Try simply is wasting his time talking about that fancy salary. I know how much the club can afford to give him. and it isn't any such sum as the one being discussed. haven't told him yet just what we are able to give. am willing to take a chance on build ing up the Tigers with youngS terS. We can't get very much lower than we finished in 1912, with ny playing every day, and in time we probably star that makes ball club play, any how. If the team is winning the fans will turn out regardless of the personnel, and if it is losing the pa tronage will be poor no matter what you have to offer in the way of bril- liant individuals
 Stars are fine thing and help you to draw, providing they have the proper setting, but they are altogether too expensive to be maintained at S15,- GOO year on a second division club. Probably Cobb and I will reach some sion-or rather what the newspapers are making a discussi ior-before the season starts in April. If we do not, the Tigers will have to get along the best they may without the great cen ter fielder. I feel the same way about Crawford and Dubuc. have told each of these men exactly how much I will pay him, and on my honor l will not raise this offer cent. We are not running a philanthropic insti- tuition and must make our salaries agree with sound business ideas"

KNOCKOUT BROWN MAKES
 YOUNG GRaDWELL QUIT

ttKnockout'' Brown, the New York lightweight, treated Young Grad well, of Newark. to such a Christmas present of hard left swings that the latter found he had had enough in less than seven rounds of fighting in the main bout at the Irving A. C.. of Brooklyn, yesterday afternoon.
 Gradwen did well in the first four rounds. but began to tire, in the fifth, when Brown backed him repeatedly into a corner and pummelled his body with wicked jolts. At the end of the sixth round the Newark boy was in such shape that he had little spirit left to continue. He went out for the seventh, but as it was apparent that he was merely inviting a Knockout Gradwe1Ps second threw a sponge in- to the ring, bringing the fight to a finish with only about minute of the session. gone.

MATTY FINDS INSURANCE
 BUSINESS HARD TO GET

New York, Dec. 26.-Christy Mathewson, real estate agent, author bflIiardist, motorist, checker expert and also a baseball pitcher for the Giants. is just now in the insurance business, but he is having hard time making people believe it. When Matty begins to talk insurance with a prospective customer, the conversa- ton for five minutes is about insur- ance and for the next hour about baseball. So Matty had to call a halt.
 He doesn't mind talking baseball in summer, but in winter he wants to talk insurance. So many persons have dropped into MathewsOn'S office to talk baseball that he had to put up sign. It reads:
 This is an insurance office and not lounging room. Christy Mathewson is interested in anything that has to do with insurance. He does not recall the score of the last game of the worlds series.''
 But there are many that the sign has no effect on. The other day a man dropped in, sat down, and light ed a cigar and said: How are you Matty? I've seen you pitch many q time.''
 You've got the wrong man." an swered Matty "You don't seem to know me. I'm Mathewson, the insur- ance man, not the baseball pitcher. Can talk to you about a policy?"
 Matty says that if he could only hide his identity he might sell more insurance.

.MAGEE TO PLAY
 FIRST FOR PHILA.
MANAGER DoOIN PLANS TO USE LOBERT IN OUTFTELD
 IN 1913.

Philadelphia. Dec. 26-Manager Dooin of the Phillies yesterday announced that he will play Sherwood Magee, the heavy-hitting outfielder, at first base next season, while Lobert, the hustling third baseman, will be sent to the out field. The latter change, Dooin thinks is necessary in order to give Loberts s knee, which he hurt last season a rest. '-Cosey'' Dolan also will be seen in the outf1eld. while 'tRunt'' Walsh will specialize with mask and glove.
 Exclusive of the battery men, Dooin says. only three of his players are sure of their present positions Paskert will be found in centre field and Otto Knabe and Mike Doolan will cover short and second base respectively.
 Luderus will be a contender for first base, and if he should play up to his early form of last season Magee will have to do some tall hustlins to win out. Dooin now thinks Magee will get the prize.
 Dooin will start Friday for South ern Pines to make arrangem ents for the spring training trip of the. .PhillieS.

THE HEAVYWEIGHT WHO'S
 WHO.

Four years ago today Jack Johnsfn won the heavyweight championship of the world by defeating Tommy Burns in the fourteenth round at Sydney, Australia. Since then the big fellows of the white race have tried in vain to win back the title from the African. Now that sIil Artha' Johnson is ap-s parently permanently eliminated from the pugiistic ranks, by reason of his fragrant miscon- soma non grata among the sports of America, Europe and Australia, the question of choos- ing a successor has come prOmi- nentIy to the fore. A series of elimination bouts are now un- der way to find the best white man to contest with the blacks for the premiere pugiIiStic title. With Johnson out of the way, there remain Joe Jeannette, Sam Langford and Sam McVey to defend the honors of the black race. A few years ago either of this trio would have found the best of the present crop of white hopes easy pick ing, but it is by no means cer- tain that such is now the case. Jeannette laid claim. to the title when Johnson announced his retirement some time ago, but Joe has been going back rapid 1y of late. He is only thirty one years old, but the form he once displayed has been con- spicuously absent in his later battles. There are some who think Joe has purposely held himself in to get a match with some of the white hopes, but there is little to support this theory. Langford is apparently the best of the Africans. Sam uel at last reports was in Aus tralia, posing as the, heavy weight champion of the world, and it is not at all iInprobab bIe that he can make good, if he gets a chance. Langford is a Nova Scotian by birth, and if he title will again be held by na- tive of Canada. He will be twenty-seven next March, and is now in his prime. McVey is another cOlored gentleman who could probably give a good ac- count of himself in ring with the best of the white hopes, but he is hardly as good man as LangfOrd. If the title should go to either of these three men, the coIored people would not be likely to be disgraced by such actions as are atfr:buted to Jack Johnson. Neither Langford, Jeannette or McVey have ever manifested any tendencies such as have led to JOhnson's in- voluntary retirement. All are modest fellows and credits to their race.

CAMERON ROASTS JACK HELLER
 FOR SIGNING OPTIONAL PLAYERS
New Haven Owner Gets After Pinsfield
 Manager With Harsh Language

joke of the whole affair is that Zellar is now putting Up a howl in an at tempt to have the league change the ruling so to allow optional agree ment players to perform here At the recent meeting zellar made a mo ton to this effect but his request was turned down.
 Since becoming a nagnate, Zellar finds it a hard proposition to get real baseball players. Cameron always was of the opinion that better base ball would be furnished with these stars, but Cellar never was of the same opinion until now.
 Cameron, in discussing the matter last night regarding optional agree nent players. said:
 .Ze1lar will now get a taste of his own medicine. While under contract to Carey as manager of the Springfield club, he had a first rate ball club and need not depend on the major leagues for young talent. But now. that he finds himself without players and Nit tie money, he comes around whining to get his candy back.
 T won the pennant last year with no optional agreement players, and I plan to repeat. Good night!''

JACK B2ITTON PUTS OUT
 TOMMY O'kEEFE IN SECOND

Philadelphia, Dec. 26-Jack Britton, the Chicago fighter, who has been talk ing part in plenty of bouts lately, ade1phia in the second round of their scheduled six round bout at the Olym- pia A. A. at the Christmas matinee yesterday afternoon.
 Britton was too clever and had too much force behind his punches for O'Keefe and the local lad had hard first round.
 In the second session O'Keefe made an excellent punching bag for Brit ton. He was knocked down early in the round and stayed on the mat for the count Of nine. Britton then sail ed in and finished the job. O'Keefe was dazed and staggered about the ring. Britton hit three times. the last blow sending the Philadelphia boy in a heap on the mat in his own corner.

TRICKY KID M'COY
 PUT ONE OVER ON SOUTH
 AFRICANS 16 YEARS AGO
Kid Mccoy. the Hoosier fighter who

Kid Mccoy, the Hoosier fighter who battled his way to the m1ddlewe1ght championship of the world, was al ways as full of tricks as dog of fleas- Today is the sixteenth anniv- ersary of the Kids scrap with Doher- ty. the South African middleweight number of the American wisen- heimers were badly stung. Mccoy had none of the appearance of the typical pugilist,' and this gave some of the African sports a poor opinion of his ability. Moreover, the Kid caused to be spread broadcast ru- nor that he was i'll and in poor con dition, and the local mans packers swallowed the story whole. Mccoy had his training camp in Johannes burg, and it was visited daily by large get a line on the American. The sparring exhibitions put up by Mccoy for their benefit would have disgraced novice. Doherty, on the other hand, showed off his entire stock in trade when bunch of spectators called at his camp, and he looked like an abso- lutely certain winner compared with the awkward Hoosier. Naturally, the up on Doherty, and everything they offered was quickly covered by the agents of the astute Mccoy. The battle was for $5,O00 a side and juicy slice of the gate, which was no inconsiderable item as the arena was crowded, sports coming from all over
 
 Australia to see the battle. It was an entirely different Mccoy that the packers of Doherty saw in the ring that night At the end of the second round the American was seen to have all the best of it, and those who had Wagered big sums on the African, who before the fight was a big favorite, sought in vain to place a bet on Mo Coy. The HOosier, always a marvel of c1everness, made Doherty seem clumsy amateur in the art of boxing, and in the ninth round Mccoy put over a punch that stretched out the African champion for the count. One of the few South Africans who had bet on Mccoy was Barney Barnato, the ex-clown who had become the diamond king of South Africa, and he presented Mccoy with a diamond medal. Barnato and Mccoy became close friends, and the former offered to back the American to any extent against any man in England. While on the way to England Barnato sud- denly decided that he had lived long enough and jumped overheard.

One George M Cameron, who looks after the affairs of the New Haven baseball club, of the Eastern Associa- tiou, Goes not hesitate to announce his disappointment at the actions of Jack ZeIlar, newly recognized manager of the Pfttsfield club.
 It was learned yesterday for the first time that utmost harmony did not prevail at the recent meeting or the league at Hotel Taft, previously announced. Cameron and Zellar got into a heated argument, though no blows whatsoever were struck. The nature of the disturbance was the re- suit of a wrangle of over a year ago. At a meeting of the league magnates in Waterbury, Zellar advocated a plan by which no optional agreement players should be allowed to play in the league under penalty of a $1O0 fine
 One of those opposed to this was Cameron. Zellar and a majority of the directors were of the same opinion and as a result the new baseball law was mace part of the consti- tuition Since, that time, Zellar and Cameron have been at odds but the
