In preparing q purge dose for q
horse the medicine that is safest and

aloes should be used, not the Cape
aloes. A dose will generally vary from
four to seven drains. Linseed oil

1t was no easy matter to find men
with money sufficient to make the oeai
and satisfy the owners of the ciuo.
Yet President Ban succeeded in accom-
plishing this when he interested Rup-
pert and Huston.
The change Of ownership was ten
strike for the American League NOT
only was the change heralded as
winning move by the other magnates,
but the fans the circuit over recognize
the advantage it gives the league.
Ruppert and Huston are men or
wealth. Rupert is reported to be
worth anywhere from $25,O0O,00O to
sac. .O0O, 900. 1t is believed that In due
time he will build a new ball park
which will be nearer to the center of
New York city than are the Polo
Grounds Such an investment would
give the American League great ad-
vantage over its rival in New York.
The appointment of Bill Donovan as
manager of the Yankees is one of the
most popular moves ever maze IN 4
major league. Donovan is a favorlte
all around the American League cir
cult. and there is every reason for be-
lieying that he has the ability to build
up a winning team in New York.
According to advices from Ell Paso
the Jack Johnson-Jess Willard cham
pionship battle will take place at
:Juarez March 6. That is only about
nine weeks off. Johnson already ma:
started training for the bout but Viii
lard continues to display unusual mac
tivity for a person who hopes to emerge
successfully from a most difficult task
The chances are that the tight-lovine
public will display very little interest
in this match. There is no way to hg-
ure that Willard stands a chance to
win. There is nothing in his record to
create the impression that he has eyer
a right to figure on meeting Johnson
Willard has fought twenty-five times.
He started in 1911. yet he has met but
and that was Gunboat Smith, who got
the decision over him after twenty
rounds of milling. How Willard cal
be figured to have a chance with John
son if the colored champion is anything
like himself is hard to understand.
There is no one in base ball now
nor has there ever been, who has beer
winning team than Charley Comiskey
of the White SoX.
It is estimated that the total money
spent by Comiskey during the last few
years for six ball players amounts t,
s1O7,50O. This puts the owner OF tn
White Sox in class by himself whel
it comes to opening up his purse in al
effort to build up a penpant-winninl
team.
Here are the players and prices sait

biggest bargain Comiskey has ever
added to his team.
Bill Donovan will have a marked ad-
vantage over all his predecessors as
manager of the New York team. in
that he will work for a couple of
sportsmen who own the club, a conGi-
tlon which has never before existed
since the American League invaded
New York. Clark Griffith came within
game of winning the pennant with
the Yankees on two occasions, but he
was interfered with by the owners at
time when he was forced to rebuild
his team. George Stallings made a
great reputation with the team, taking
tailender and finishing in the first
division, yet he, like Griffith, could not
continue under existing conditions.
Frank Chance exposed conditions in
the New York club last fall when he
threw up the job.
Donovan starts in under a regime
that promises to be fair. well supplied
with money and a desire to accomplish
something besides commercial sue
cess. Few managers breaking into fast
portunity and in due time Donovan is
pretty sure to show results.
A cursory glance at the base ball sit
uation. would make 1t appear that the
Federal League is not going to prove
as much of a menace to organized base
ball the coming season as is predicted.
With the old circuit continued. it is
decidedly doubtful If the majority of
these cities can support ball teams
which, SO far as salaries are concerned,
are of a major league class. Further
more, the league in it's first campaign
proved itself to be far below the stand
ard of a major organization, artisti-
cally speaking, and the public has been
convinced on that point. What material
