- AN FRANCISCO, Feb. 4-Ty
y Cobb, the great Detroit out
fielder will get the $4,000
salary he has demanded.
This information came through
letter received from President Ma
vim, of the Detroit club, by Oscar
Witt, the Tigers sacker.
Nevin wrote Witt that he was
satisfied with his work last year
and ordinarily would give him
raise in salary, but stated that in
granting the demands Of Cobb for
$4,000 it would be impossible to
boost other salaries.
Navin stated that Cobb was the
buIwark of the team and that the
club had TO have him at any price.

Fittery won ~ and lost games
last year with the team that won
the Carolina association pennsns.

above the average.
Sloane won Is and lost II lest

This lad showed good control, with
an average OF only a trfie more
than a base on balls to each gana
while he averaged nearly I'VE
strike outs to the game.

Baker won 9 and lost 8 for
Knoxville, for an average Of 500
His team won So per cent OF It's
games. So Baker was not much
above the average.
Moorer was a grand pitcher win
the University of Alabama team

if he is good enough to make the
Birmingham team this year. but

that it must be early. He batted

TN HE combination Of good
manager and a pot of money
is hard to beat. That is true
dope. Unwise is the man who bets
against It, The Birmingham club
has a real leader in Carlton Moles-
worth. 1t has a key Of coin in Rick
Woodward, the owner. Therefore,
don't overlook it now or any time
when that magical combination is
on the job.
DICK WOODWARD is a great
guy to work for. If manager
wants anything, Rick does not let
the coin stand in the way,
Il need a third baseman," says
MoIey.
Buy him." says Woodward.
He's very expensive" says
Moley.
Buy him." says Woodward.
And the deal is made. That's
they way Birmingham got Alneida
and he won the pennant for the
Barons That's the way they have
landed the men who have kept
them up in the race every year
since Woodward and Wordsworth
have been together.
In a league where four or five of
the club owners are tight wads a
team on which money is spent Law
ishly and intelligently is dangerous.
Of course, money has been spent
lavishly on the Crackers for two
years back and they have finished
last. But the money was not in
diligently spent and the players
secured We're not we'll handled.
7 ET'S see what the Barons have
H left over from last year. Well,
there's one catcher, digger. He
fields and throws we'll, but he
batted only 1T last year. For
pitchers. Wordsworth has that old
pest, Bill Foxen (who ought to be
on his last legs, if he isn'D; Boyd,
who won % games last year:
Prough, a big man and a danger
Gus chap, and Hardgrove, who did
not win enough games last year to
make his per cent as high as that
of his team.
All the old infeld-McGilvray
Marcan and Ellam-will be back,
with the important exception of AL
media. And Carroll, a hang over,
may be called in to fill his place.
Mcbride and Messenger are the
two outfelders who will be re-
turned.

Congressman Dillon has intro
duced two bills which have consid-
erable merit. One is to restrict
the franking privilege, a privilege
that has been grossly abused, and
the other .prohibi ting a federal
judge in trial by jury, from ex-
pressing any opinion upon the
facts in the case. The practice
has been growing for judges to
practically nullify the jury system
by expressing opinions upon the
question Of facts, if they have not
absolutely instructed the jury as to
the kind of judgment to render,
The interests of the contestants
may not suffer by such procedure
but it is contrary to the spirit ol

Attorney General Johnston rules
that the new veterinary act requires
all persons who desire to practice
as veterinarians in this state, to
procure license from the. new
board, unless they can show that
they have been making such pract-
ice their principal profession for a
period of five years previous to the
enactment of this law. This applies
to graduates as we'll as nongradu-
ates. One who reads the law
would have to stretch his lmagi-
nation little to get that meaning
out of it. The law provides that a
veterinarian licensed to practice
certain branches of veterinary
surgery or medicine shall be granted
a permit to continue such practice
without an examination, yet ac-
cording to the attorney gene ral's
ruling person holding license
as a full practitioner has his lie
ense revoked by this law. Again
the law provides that a veterinar-
ian licensed under the law of
1909 as amended by the law of
1911, shall upon a petition of 40
free holders be appointed a deputy
state veterinarian. His license is
therefore recognized as legal in
this instance, and yet he could not
have practised five years under a
license issued under the 1909 law,

Chicago, Oct. 5.-Mrs. Mildred Alli-
son Rexorat, dancing teacher, who
was shot to death at Wheaton, ILL.,,
a week ago, was the victim of a mod
ern bluebeard, who according to his
own confession, had killed 13 others
in as many years.
Henry Spencer, arrested in a room
near the South Side levee district
tonight, confessed that he not only
killed Mrs. ReXroat, but that he had
slain IA persons.
He was positively identified as the
mysterious Mr.. Spencer with whom
Mrs. RexrOat left Chicago on the
night she was killed. Mrs Retreats s
bfoOdstained rattan suitcase was
found in his room, as also was the
revolver with which he said he killed
her.
The police, while in doubt as to
the full truth Of Spencers story, are
confident they have found a whole
sale murderer.
Spencers confession was SO start
ling that it probably would have re-
ceived no credence had not the bloody
suitcase and the revolver at least
confirmed part of his statement.
All his murders except two, he de-
hn xf
robbery. The two policemen, Pennell
and Devine, who were shot to death
IL years ago, he said, he and a COM
paniOn killed to escape being arrested.
Il intended to kill Mrs. Scofield,
proprietor Of the rooming house
where 1 have been living" he said.
IF had not been arrested just at this
time, / would have killed her."
