Joke on The Doctor.

The physicians in Mankato had
agreed that during their Chautauqua
assembly they would employ a call
boy. and each was to pay his share
of the expense. This boy was to call
any doctor who was wanted, without
disturbing the speaker, as it was en-
barrassing to him and looked as Il
they were doing 1t to advertise with
out expense. So it all went well un-
til the afternoon when Strickland W.
Gillfland spoke. AS he was talking
away certain doctor had call from
the platform. and he walked out rath-
er ostentatiously. Some OF the peo-
pie who knew of the arrangement
laughed or snickered. and the speaker
got it. He said: Don't laugh, folks.
That Is the way my brother got his
start" And everybody roared.

BOOSTS PRICES IN NEW
CLASS A A LEAGUES.

CINCINNATI. O.. Jan. 4.--Practi-
cally the only thing done by the Ma
tional Commission at Its meeting to-
day was the granting OF every de-
mand asked by thes9 National Asso-
cation of Minor Baseball Leagues.
They did more than that, In that they
asked in the formal applications OF
the association.
In the tirst place tho International
League, the American Association and
the Pacific Coast League were raised
to a Glass A A rating. The draft
prices on players we're raised in every
league, graduating from $4,000 from
the Class A A organizations to the
5000. which will be paid for class
ID men.
All players In the major leagues
are strictly prohibited from playing
exhibition games in minor league
cities, where their presence Is not de-
sired by the home team. And the
reverse OF this applies to the minor
! leagues IN the major cities.
Draft prices are fxed at the fol-
lowing figures;
Class A A. $4,000: class A. $500:
class 3, I.7uuy Grass e. sfoe, class
ID, $500.
A restriction has been placed on
the class A A leagues. whereby they
must sell all players for instant de-
livery. No delivery at the end OF
the season can be recognized by the
commission.
1t was decided that the sum OF
$1,000. which has come from the

Valveless Motors Feature of Salon
Show Of Foreign Made Automobiles

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.--There are
four types of valseiess motors among
the many poppet engine motors on

bile Salon In the Hotel Aston. They
are attracting unusual attention not
alone from motorists, but also from
American designers WHIP are In at
tendance to study some features
which are now seen tor the first time
In America.
At the exhibits of the English
Daimler, Mercedes, Minerva and
Panhard are cars fitted with Silent
Knight motors. but these differ from
each other in many details. according
to the ways in which the manufac-
turers have accepted Knights motor
FOR their individual products. This
motor. which has become we'll

motor made under the so-called Ar

and forward. thereby accomplishing
in what might be termed q double
motion the same functions which the
double sleeves perform in the Knight
motor. This car Ia . newcomer TO
