The New York Graft Hunt.

District Attorney Whitman is pursuing
the grafters diligently a he promised
to do before election. According to all
reports, he has a fine field for activity.
and as he is assured OF the assistance
Of the state authorities the fruits of his
labors should be considerable.
He may not uncover AS much fraud as
was alleged to exist by campaign speak
ers while their blood was up and every
thing was going. At that time one
might have supposed the state full OF
liars and thieves. and corruption the rule
of Official life. The vocabulary of abuse
was exhausted In the saturnalia OF
blackguardism.
But allowing for that, much rottenness
doubtless exists in the state. and should
be cut out. And Mr.. Whitman has
his hand in. he will not find the difficulty
that would confront a new man in ONCE

Bible-Reading Campaign.
From the Philadelphia Press.


Ehe campaign to promote interest in
Bible study which has been started in
Philadelphia Is movement with much
to be said In it's favor. even though the
strictly religious side of the question
be left alone. 1t is gratifying fact
that an enormous number Of Bibles
are sold-more than ever since it was
first printed. Can 1t fairly be said that
the book is carefully studied or
even habitually read as it ought to
be: Is It not in many households amid
the multiplicity of other reading mat
ter frequently left to languish on the
bookshelf forgotten? Yet nobody can
leave the "old book thus in the cold
without loss to himself. In a recent
publication the Bible is called the
classic of the ages

Purse for Automobile Racing
Reaches Total of $500, 900

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec 23--With a
total prize list for automobile road
and track contests aggregating nearly
100000. the indianapolis Speedway
will contribute one-fourth of this
amount. The 500-mile international
sweepstakes will be worth $4,000,
while Seattle will come next in order
with 100000. The amounts are graded
to $4,000, which will be offered by Gal
weston for the beach races. The actual
amount now in sight Is $197,700. but
with various minor events, such as
the San Diego road race and dirt track
meets over the country, 100000 is
easily attained. Europe, with all its
multiplicity of contests, does not offer
one-fourth as much. In point of sheer
financial worth the sport of motor car
racing is more strongly entrenched IN
the United States than anywhere else
in the world,
Considered from the angle of pres
tlge. the East is held still to outrank
the West by far Ranged In the order
CT their numerical strength, purses
now in sight are as follows: Indian

BOXERS GET BIG PURSES
COMPARED TO OLDTIMERS

AS they figure fighters pay these
days Georges Carpenter, the French
boxer, gets the palm as we'll as the
laurel wreath. When the French
champion knocked out Bombardier
Wells in one minute recently, at the
National Sporting Club. of London,
his pay was $4,000 out of an $4,000
purse, in addition to winning S5,-
900 side bet. In other words Carpen-
tier received $4,000 for one minutes
work. That's got the earning capac-
ity of both John ID. as we'll as Andrew
Carnegie beat to a FRAGILE, writes
Otto Floto in the Denver Post
And to think that Jack Dempsey,
one of the greatest middleweights- the
world ever knew, used to fight for
$3.50 purses to a finish with sSin-tight
gloves--times have certainly changed
since that period-as we used to say
in the Limelxiln Club. 1t may be
news to many that the only time
Dempsey fought for large purse he
met defeat. 1t was a $4,000 prize
that he and "The Marine" battled for
when a pivot blow" laid him low,
and it was the same amount with a
$40, 900 side bet added when Fit2sim-
mons put him out of commission So
that 1t does appear. rather unfortu-
nate that this wonderful miller had
fate deal with him in this manner.
On the other hand, his great pal,
Jack McAuliffe, was always in the
big money. 1t is true that McAu-
life fought for the small purses that
Dempsey did at one time. but he
always had thousands and thousands
bet on his chances at the ringside and
never in all his long career did his
hackers lose q single penny wagered

Roche, who backed Jack in all his
fights. left the building in the thir-

money I am losing so much, but l

A short time after that the news was
carried to Roche at the old Palace
Hotel. that McAullffe had won. Dick
wouldn't believe 1t for a time, but
when it was confirmed he was beside
himself with Joy. We mention this
incident to show that Jack was never
beaten in fight unless he was COM
pletely knocked out, and that never
happened during his whole career in
the ring.
But on the whole the pay of the
fighter today runs up into so many
thousands that he earns more money
in one single engagement than some
of the old-timers earned in life

Ham, Hyatt Comes to Rescue
of 0utfielders in Distress


The cleanest spoken bunch of out
f1elders in the world, in all prob
ability, is the set used by Pittsburgh
in the latter months of 1918. Mike
Mitchell. as everyone knows. never
uses bad language of any kind, and
it is repellant to his nature. Chief
Owen Wilson hardly ever says any
thing to anybody, and has never been
heard swearing on the few occasions
when he did break out in speech Max
Carey, the left fielder, Is a minister
and, as can be easily imagined, even
SO strong an expletive as "Oh, thun-
der!" Is never heard.
One day last fall, in a close and
hard fought game, high fly went
sailing out where Mitchell and Will
son were both tempted by its prox-
unity. They got their wires crossed,
however, each thought the other had
1t. and the ball fell untouched be-
tween them. With moan of inter-
nal agony Wilson recovered the ball
and drove 1t in. Carey, with some
idea of backing UP the play. ran over
and tried to intercept the ball. 1t
glanced off his glove and rolled away.
while procession of runners went
whooping round the bases.
The three religious athletes stood.
purpling In the face, their lips with
ing, but utterly unable to express
their feelings. Finally Mitchell called
Ham Hyatt, the reserve man, from
the bench
INF. Hyatt," explained Mr..
Mitchell, "you saw what just hap
pened We can't say what we would
like to about 1t. Would you mind do
ing justice to the occasion?"
And Mr.. Hyatt, being bound by no
such scruples as the three regulars.
poured forth language suitable and
fitting, while Mitchell, Wilson and
Carey, cap in hand. stood respectful
ly around and thanked him for his
kindness

Some of the superstitions of great
batters would be laughable were the
great ones not so earnest.
Cobb swings three bats and knocks
the dirt from his spikes before facing
the pitcher. Jimmy Scheckard's gum
always reposes on a certain spot on
top of his cap. Lajoie draws a line In
the dirt with his bat before stepping
into the box. Jimmy Ryan, the old
Colt. insisted upon bats with red
stripe. Frank Chance never looks at
the scoreboard during a game Davy
Jones always touches third base when
returning to the bench from the field.
Roy Thomas walked around behind
the umpire when going to the plate.
Frank Schultz believes he will make
two-base hitiif he picks up a hair
pin on the street and is famous as a
hunter of them. They tell that Roger
Conner used to take his bat TO bed
with him,
