There Is only one way to cure DEAF

be taken out and this tube restored to
it's normal condition, hearing Will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of

day Afternoon

In one-sided game the locals
swamped the Bib Mill team of Macon
yesterday afternoon by a score thai
was approximately 20 to 2. There were
so many runs to be counted that it was
difficult to tell how many the locals
made.
The game afforded an excellent OPP
portunity for the locals to try out the
new left-handed, Pruett, who gave a
good account of himself. He struck
out the Bibb Mill batters right and left
and he had speed to burn.
The game gave an opportunity for
practice work on the part of the To-
Gals, and it was enjoyed for that rea-
son. Practice games will be held
twice daily throughout the coming
week and until the league opens.

WOODS PITCH
WORTH Sl.S2
1t is Said Every Toss Brings
This Amount

Neither Jimmy McAleer nor Joe
Wood has confirmed or denied the sto-
ry that Smoky Joe" will receive $500
for his efforts this year to smoke them
past the American league batters. If
it is true Wood becomes in one big
Jump probably the highest salaried
pitcher in the league Walter john
son is credited with receiving $1,000,
while the pay of Big Ed" Walsh is a
club secret.
Wood is but % years old, too, and
under favorable circumstances SHOULD
have at least seven more years as a
star in big league baseball Added to
his salary are the potential profits OF
the worlds series. Last year his share
was $4,000 If the Sox should win an
other worlds series Wood should re-
ceiye close to $4,000 as his seasons
income, including side" profits-if his
salary is really $500.
That's very tight little salary for a
23-year-old, working six months year,
Very few presidents of the leading
banks of the country beat that-esti-
mating on a twelve months to the year
basis.
Wood pitched in 43 games last sea-
son. At $500 a year that would
mean about $1,000 per game. He
pitched 344 innings-just averaging
eight innings a game. That would
be about $21 80 an innings. Not being
quite so old, or nearly so steady as
Walter Johnson, Wood wastes more
balls and more energy than Johnson
does. While the Terrible Swede'
pitches from 80 to 100 balls in game
of nine innings, Smoky Joe" goes
him about ten better on an average.
While no statistics have been kept,
you will find Wood averaging some
twelve balls to an inning. So you see
Joe Wood will be paid about $1.S2 ev-
cry time he hurls the horsehide in II
regular game of baseball this year -
always estimating that the $500 sal
airy tale is true.
In other words, Wood threw the ball
from 1000 to 1920 times last season,
and for probably just about the same
work he is credited with receiving ST.
500 this year, to say nothing of the per-
quisites, as there's still plenty of easy
money when you only know how to get
