BASEBALL SPORTS OF ALL SORTS BOXING
Chicago Speedway Ready for Auto
Racing June 1

SNliS
Chicago is at last making a bid for
some of the classic automobile races
which have in the past gone to other
cities. -..-f
The Speedway Park association
has closed contracts for the building
of two-mile oval ten miles west of
the loop, on 18th St, to be bounded
by 18th and 22d sts., First and 9Th
avs, surrounded by stadium grand
stand to accommodate 100000 peo-
pie. ,.. ~. ..
The track will be 70 feet wide on
the straightaways and S0,feet wide on
the turns, banked to an extent that
will allow of unlimited speed. 1t will
be modelled on the Brooklands
course of England and will be supe-
rior to the track in Indianapolis.
The track will be board surface
over a foundation of concrete. Safety
bulwarks will line the wall for the
protection of spectators and to pre-
vent any skidding machines climbing
the grandstand ratings.
An expenditure Of $4,000 is
contemplated before the work on the
park is completed. The infield, ac-
cording to present plans, will be util-
lied for a golf course.
The contract with the builders calls
for turning the park over to the pro-
moters June 1, ready for racing. 1t
is probable an effort will be made to
secure a good program for July 4
to christen the track.
II is planned to have at least one
racing fixture a year which shall
transcend in Importance the Decora-
ton day race over the Indianapolis
speedway. All of the leading manu-
faeturers will be invited to compete
and world famous drivers will be seen
in action.

National League Ends Session-Groh
Not To Come Here.


The more or less National League
has adjourned its meeting in New
York without any sensational results
to show for the session. ,
Charley Murphy. Horace FogeI and
Tom Lynch were not among those
present, so a comparatively quiet
time was had by all. The league did
solemnly adopt resolution declaring
it was opposed to the Federal League.
This will be surprising and terrifying
news to President Gilmore and the
magnates of the baby circuit
As usual, the weaker clubs did not
receive any consideration worthy of
the name from the bigger fry A reso-
luton introduced by julius Fiesch-
mann providing that a club could not
withdraw waivers once they had been
asked, was calmly shelved, being
passed over to the schedule meeting
in February. At that time it will prob
ably be found that there is SO much
business on hand the magnates will
have no time for the resolution.
Fleischmann's idea was supported
by the weaker clubs of the circuit,
but New York, Chicago and Pittsburg
were strong enough to block it: In
the past there has been some dissatis-
faction because waivers were asked
on a player, and then withdrawn
when an undesirable club put in bid
for his services.
The main purpose of goodIy share
of the waivers. is to feel out the
ground regarding trades.

RATS ATE ALL HIS MONEY
Aiken Man Hides Money Between
Floor and Ceiling but Lost ALI

Jack Simpson of Aiken, Mimi, saved
for many years and accumulated the
sum of $2,565, with which he intended
to buy farm. Mr.. Simpson wrote
to the secretary of the treasury at
Washington, D. c., saying he had care
fully hidden his money between the
upstairs floor and ceiling"
1t was safely secreted from the
burglars, of whom he was afraid, but
he says the rats and mice got fat of
it. When Simpson endeavored to use
it, he found that the rodents had re-
duced his roll Of money to dust, Simp-
son wanted to know if the treasury
department could not refund.
The experts Of the redemption
bureau of the treasury are mighty
skillful in identifying mutilated
money, but the problem submitted by
Simpson was beyond their ability.
And Simpson was informed that the
government can't reimburse him be-
cause there is not sufficient evidence
of the existence of the money.

CONVICT ROAD LABOR
Columbia University Investigator Sub
mits Facts Supporting the Idea
Now Being Tried

Road building by convicts has stood
the test of the scientific investiga-
ton made for Columbia university,
through its graduate highway depart
ment, by Sidney Wilmot, a road en-
gineer, recently an advanced student
in that university and attached to
the staff of the national committee
on prison labor.
The investigation into the costs of
convict labor on the roads emphasizes
clearly the economic advantage OBJ
tanned by this joining of the problems
of the convict and the road. This adj
vantage reverts to the taxpayer and
also to the convict's family, through
the wage which can be paid for his
labor.
The Academy of Political Science
has undertaken to make this study
available because of it's broad social
and political significance. When each
state and county is engaged as at
present, in the reorganization of its
prison system and in endeavoring to
do away with crude methods of tor
ture, scientific methods of successful
ly employing the convicts with advan-
tage to all parties become of public
interest.
The findings of the investigation
show that the work performed by the
convicts in the different states ranges
in value from S150 to $3.50 day
with a profit to the state by the use
of this labor of from so cents to S4.03
a day. In short, the contention is well
sustained that there is a general and
considerable profit at present going
to the state by the use of convict Ia
Dor for road work over the cost BY
other methods of construction, this
saving being quite Independent of To-
cality and types of construction.
The prisoner himself benefits most
of all by his work on the roads. The
healthful outdoor labor, the better
food, the incentive of the honor sys-
tenn, and, above all, the wage, increas-
ing in proportion to the profits of the
state, all combine to make him bet
ter fitted to re-enter society. The
investigation proves conclusively that
the building of good roads can be
made definite factor in the upbuild-
ing of men.

THE MAIL ORDER STOVE

The following taken from the Cass
Lake Times will apply to most any
town that may be named.
Several years ago man went in
to hardware store in Cass Lake
to price stove. The merchant was
told that he was too high. The Gus
toner ordered his kitchen range from
certain catalogue house. The hard
ware man wondered why his whole
sale houses could not supply him
with stoves so that he could COM
pete with the catalogue houses. He
hadn't been in the hardware business
very long and didn't know. He pro-
ceeded in his own way to find out.
He got the catalogue of the big house
that supplies the people direct. From
it he ordered range, which from the
description and pictures had his stock
beaten. He got it. He has had it
several years. He keeps it in his
store on exhibition with his other
stoves. He is fair with the catalogue
house. He shows prospective custo-
mers the catalogue house stove and
shows them the catalogue descrip-
ton and price. He told me this
morning that he hadn't lost out to
the catalogue house once since he
put that stove in.
The idea worked so well that he
has sent to the catalogue house al
various times for other hardware fol
comparison. He keeps them to show
people when they get the catalogue
fever. That isn't all the story either
| A few days ago the man who CAV,
this hardware merchant the idea O
sending to the catalogue house TO
a stove came in and bought a new
one. He said that the stove he ha'
bought from the catalogue hous
proved so unsatisfactory after thre
years trial and was in such poor con
dition that he had sold it off for
song and now would buy reliabl
stove such as he had seen at hi
neighbours, who had his for severs
years longer and still had it in goo
condition, that being a stove bough
from local merchant. l suggeste
to the merchant that he ought to fin
and buy that three years old cats
logue house stove and put it besid

hibit of it."
