ALL SEEM TO
| BE SATISFIED
WITH BIG DEAL
Corriden, Sold by Tigers for
$4,000. Goes to the
Cubs
LOOKS AS IF CUBS HAD
BEST OF THE BARGAIN
Chance Will Go to Manage the

Doubt

rNEW YORK, Dec l2.- Garry Herr
mdhn ma Johnny Evers were receiy
ing the congratulations OF baseball
fans today. over the biggest deal In bis
league history since Frank Chance
gave four men for Jimmy Sheckard
and thereby built a championship
club for himself, In 1906.
Hermann turned loose Mitchell, one
OF the topnotch fielders and hitters in
both leagues; Phelan. a rattling good
third baseman; Kinsely, center field
er: Humphreys. pitcher, and Infield
er Corriden, for whom he paid $4,000
"a bunch Of players representing a
cash outlay OF $50,900--to get Joe
Tinker to manage the Cincinnati
Reds.
The only other PLAYERS given up by
the Cubs were G. Laudermilk, pitch.
er. and Chapman, a catcher, recently
obtained from Topeka, Kas.
From financial point OF view the
Cubs undoubtedly got the better OF
the bargain. And 1t Is known that
Johnny Evers was the man with
whom Hermann did business. Presi.
dent Murphy, while present at the con.
ferences In which the deal was closed
up, let It be known that his role was
passive. He explained to Evers, and
to friends OF the Chicago club, that
when Johnny was made captain OF the
team he was also invested with full
authority to make whatever changes
and additions he wished In the lineup
Immediately after the consumma-
tion OF the Tinker deal, Evers bought
AL Bridwell from Boston, presumably
to have a good substitute for Corri.
den, in case the latter proves to be a
busted phenom."
A surprising feature OF the Tinker
trade was the fact that seven OF the
American league clubs, In session at
Chicago, waived claims at Corriden,
when II was explained that such ac-
tion was necessary, In order that the
National league magnates might put
through their plans. Ii Is confidently
predicted that the New York High
landers, who have obtained Frank
Chance through the granting Of waiv-
ers by National league clubs. will be
very glad to waive their claims on
Corriden.

STAR CARD OF
SEASON AT THE
WINDSOR A. c.
All Four Bouts Prove of Great
Interest to the Fight
Fans
DELANEY HAS SHADE
OVER JOHNNY GREELEY
Pendergast, of Detroit, Out-
points Fellow Townsman,
Heffren

| The star ail-aronnd card OF the sea
son thus far was the verdict Of the
flair houseful OF fight fans today who
saw the four excellent bouts at the
Windsor Athletic club last night when
! Cal Delaney, OF Cleveland. got shade
on Johnny Greeley, Of Pittsburgh,
Johnny Pendergast, OF Detroit, won
Fon points from Paddy Heffren, also
from Detroit, and Johnny Stevens,
Lennie Navel. Happy Davis and John
ny Griffin furnished two preliminaries
that were full OF action.
! The fans at Windsor usually count
on the first preliminary as being a
scrap that Is worth while, for the boys
have the idea that they must fight
and fight they do. But last night,
both the first and second preliminaries
were OF the zip-roaring kind.
| Johnny Pendergast always gives the
| fans their moneys worth. Matched
against Heffren, he couldn't show TO
great advantage because Heffren re-
NAMED covered up most OF the time.
Johnny tried to use a long left swing
that Heffren detected coming most OF
the time. A right uppercut got through
to Heffren's body occasionally In
the meantime, Heffren concealed a
hard punch that he managed TO slip
over once in a while.
When the bout was over, despite the
fact that II had been hard-fought, the
lboys shook hands twice and laughed
and kidded each other In boy
ish way. To those who see moth
ing but brutality In boxing, the actions
of the two youngsters would have been
a revelation.
II was very evident that Manager
Glassco had not worked In vain In
striving to serve his patrons with real
action In the main bouts as well as
in the preliminaries. Both Cal De-
laney and Johnny Greeley worked
hard and earnestly during their "a
minutes at bat. There wasn't a dry
round in the eight of the windup.
Although Delaney looked like the
better boxer, Creeley's evident fight
ing ability kept him about even with
| the Cleveiander until the ebbing mo-
ments OF the last round, when Cal
went after his boy In hammer and
tongs style and managed TO get "a
shade over his opponent.
Delaney was very clever on his feet
and a nimble boy. He forced the
| lighting the majority OF the rounds.
He couldn't hurt Greeley badly. how
ever.
Delaney had big advantage in hav-
ing in his corner NJ. A. Grealis, one Of
Jimmy Dunn's assistants, who direct
ed Delaney's every move.
| "Uppercut," yelled Grealis once. Up
shot Delaney's left. quick as a wink.
The right" yelled urealis Out shot
Delaney's right. And so II went.
Delaney followed his coaching more
closely than any boy seen recently In
Windsor.
Billy Aooks refereed the three con
tests preceding the main bout and
then stepped down to let Harry Bul
lion do the officiating In the finals.
George Brooke. who was slated NJ
Pennsy's football coach for next year
has announced that he Will remain al

tion of the Seven's
Team Work

There is one man who can make
the Detroit hockey team one of the
best in the country. IL not the very
best. That man must be leader who
can coach hockey players and com.
mand their utmost respect for his
orders.
Last night the Detroit seven had an
easy time with the Duluth eleven, win
ming 8 to 1. The Duluth team showed
up strong 70 the first half and held
the local chasers to two goals while
they raEg up one for themselves. In
the second half, there was nothing to
ut but Detroit, however.
The Detroit team won the game
very easily and demonstrated that Il
was the better aggregation of individ-
nails under the conditions of last
nights game. With last nights work
out under their belts, the Minneso-
tans may come back and show the
Orange and Black septet things. But
that Is another story.
The individual play OF Farlow, and
Capt. Black was brilliant at times last
night. and the new man, Kennedy,
also put up some punches of spectacu-
lar work.
But there was woeful lack OF
teamwork
The hope OF the Detroit seven
seems to lie in this new man Ken.
nedy just now. An old head at the
game, he Is to be given the Job OF

rather than a set of individuals. A

 PRICE ON BUTTER
Says Abolishment of Elgin Quotation Committee
 Will Affect Prices

"The consumers of Birmingham will have to pay more for their butter as the result of the abolishment of the quo tation committee of the Elgin butter board" said F. W. Blackford, a prorai. nent creamery and butter broker of Mor ris avenue yesterday.
 "The Elgin Board of Trade he said, lis au association interested in dairy products from all over the creamery pro- ducing sections of the country and meets at Elgin, Ill. on Mondays. In eonnec- ton with this board there has been un til today a. committee known as the quo. tation committee. When the board meets the various producers of butter who are members of this board. and this meaus practically all of the creamery men of the country, turn in a list of their actual production for the week, showing how many pounds of butter on hand and their sales.
 The quotation committee takes all of this information and together with sales made that day on the Elgin board they figure out the value of butter, and issue the official Elgin price This official price is not only the official price for creamery butter, but it also makes the official price that creameries must pay the farmer for his cream.
 "The butter business can hardly be oper- ated without some basis to work on and if the quotation committee at Elgin soca out of business. the trade will naturally have to turn either to the Board of Trade

(From The Woman Beautifully
 During the coming months of biting winds and intense cold, you who would keep your skins smooth, white nnd velvety, should turn your attention 10 mercolized wax. Nothing else will so effectively remove chapped. rough ened or discolored surface. By grad ually absorbing the weather beaten cuticle, the complexion Is kept in per feet condition, and even the beauty of depression appears more pronounced. If your skin be blotchy, pimply, freckled, coarse. sallow or over-red, why not shed 1t? One ounce of ordinary mer- colize wax, to be had at any druggists, will completely transform the most un- slightly complexion in less than fort :. night. Use the wax nightly, like cold cream, washing 1t off mornings
