Value of retanvs Antitoxin.

While the tetanus antitoxin does
not invariably prevent lockjaw, it does
so in such a vast majority of cases
that the Medical Record says all ply
sicians can agree with Kocher in his
statement: Il should strongly resent
it and call him to account if doc
tor, in treating a relative of mine
who had received a wound which was
infected with street dirt, did not adj
minister a prophylactic injection of te-
tanus antitoxin."

lariats could not settle about his neck.
Seeing his intention they voiced their
disapproval in a renewed outburst
of yells.
Further designs upon him were pre-
vented by the opportune arrival OF an
officer, who dispersed the crowd by
the simple process of beating them
about the heads with a stick
Have you come from the house

trifle uncertain, owing to his having

A sentry slept in the doorway.
From the interior came the smell of a
meal that had evidently just been
served
Following his guide, Kynaston en-
tered FL General Obispo, a squat
little man, whose high cheek bones
and full lips betokened his Indian an
cestry, looked up from the supper
which he was eating by the simple
process of stuffing as much carne seco
in his mouth as that organ would hold,
and then cutting off the balance with
none too clean knife.
: FL general growled out a question.
The officer explained who Kynaston
was. In answer the general rose hast
lily from the table, spat the meat from
his mouth, and began such furious
TRADE of scurrilous epithets as to be-
come nearly epileptic. Kynaston stood
silent.
Take him away! Place him in

fate shall be of any accursed gringo

He tossed a paper to the officer.

pigs walk on their hind legs and talk
and act as if they were indeed men

Pro Grid Ball is
Strong in the West

Professional foot ball has come
back with a vengeance in the middle
west. For years the teams were only
OF mediocre caliber, but judging by
the number of stars playing with
Cleveland, Canton, Massillon, Colum-
bus Panhandlers and Buffalo, the pro-
fessional foot ball game is back
where Vt was ten years ago, when
Canton and Massillon collected the
greatest alltstar teams in the history
OF the game.
Jim Thorpe is running the Canton
team, and has a backheld so strong
that King Of Harvard, an all-Ameri-
can back, and Julian, the Michigan
Aggies' star, are substitutes. Ghee
OF Dartmouth, an All-American quar-
terback, is plotting the team, with
Thorpe and Wilkinson Of Syracuse al
the halfback positions and Calac Of
the Indians at fullback. This prob
ably Is the greatest all-around back
field ever collected. In the line
Thorpe has Souey of Harvard, Carlow
OF the Indians. Abel OF Colgate ant
Buck OF Wisconsin, who were all
American forwards, and several lesser
lights. The Canton team is training
faithfully and the men are in as good
condition as they were in college
which Is rare thing in professional
foot ball, II the players do the right
thing the game should flourish, as The
public always is willing to pay fol
good foot ball.

Prospects Bright

II ever a school has had reason
to be optimistic over basket ball pros
poets, their future could not have
been brighter than that OF the Uni
versity OF Omaha this season. From
twenty to thirty men turned out last
week every practice day. The new
men have caught the spirit of the old
men and as the coach said: These
new men are some mixers" Coach
Harry Delamatre is satisfied with the
material and believes that the uni
versity can put out at least two good
teams. He has started to work 'out
his fippers with two hours OF hard
practice three times week.
Jap Leach, who comes form the
packing house town, seems to be in
better condition than ever. The coach
is trying hi mout at running guard.
Edgar Ernst is one of last years
veterans and has cinched running for
ward on this years team. His run
ming mate is Bill Thompson, Other
fast tossers are Perry, Allerton, Will
Roberts, Teddy Korbmaker and
Nixon, who comes from the South
Side High school. Among the promis-
ing new men are Mark Lowe, Howard
Widenor, Roy Greeting and Harvey.

Cap Neal Not Only

ing that base ball stuff always goes

all. The Martin Beck who can grab

lean Association club and sign him

stories that they bubble out Of him
like oil out of one of Harry Sinclair's
wells. Most OF his time at New
Orleans was spent in telling them,
not because he wanted to, particularly,
but because once started they wouldn't
let him quit,
Here is one selected from more
or less jumbled memory. 1t concerns
Cap Neal, who is some character HIM
self, but too modest to admit that he
has wealth of stuff that would make
the average vaudeville artist take to

Neal had been elected president of
the Blue Grass league and in taking
the Office he laid down the law-there
should be no interference with the
presidents authority, no board Of d.
rectors, no court OF appeals, no any
thing but Cap Neal as president with

Neal talks with Kentucky dialect
that'is rich and appealing. Now for
the story.

the fine to President Neal for collec-
ton. President Neal on his rounds
visited the town where the offending
athlete was playing. Player visited
Mr.. President to see if the fine
couldn't be RENTED.

Promises to Rival
Great Tyrus Cobb

Sam Rice, converted from pitcher
to an outhelder, stands chance OF
being one of the contenders for the
American league battings honors next
season, says a Washington scribe.
Rice was the eighth batter in the
Johnson league last season, with an
average of 1916, made in only fifty
nine games. In at least ten of these
games Rice was sick man, suffering
from malaria and during these games
his batting average naturally slumped
and his speed, by which he beats out
many inheld hits, also left him.
He got back in the game in the fall
Of the year and gave the best hitting
exhibition of anyone in the American
league, hitting at 500 clip in the
closing games.
Ty Cobb said Of him this fall that
he was by far the most promising hit
ter he had seen break in in recent
years and that he was sure that he
would be a contender in the batting
struggle next season.
Cobb gave Rice particular atten-
ton in the closing series at Detroit
and he found that there was nothing
he could not hit, that pitcher had
nothing which would fool him,
whether it was right or left-hander.
Manager Griffith made it even strong
er SO far as Rice's hitting was con-
cerned:
Il never saw such hitting as Rice
did in Philadelphia and New York in
the closing games OF the season. He
drove in all the runs we got with long
clean-cut line drives between fields,
and he looked to be the greatest hit
ter | have ever seen. He will be in
good health next season, and I look
for him to come near leading the
league in hitting"

BALL PLAYERS ARE
FINED MANY BUCKS
Ty Cobb and Number of Other
Stars Penalized for In
fraction of Rules.
JOHNSON AND ALEX LET GO

Cincinnati, O., Dec. 9.-Fines were
inflicted by the National Base Ball
commission today on major league
ball players who have taken part in
various exhibition games following
the close of the season of 1916.
Fifty-one players from thirteen OF
the sixteen major league teams were
fined in amounts ranging from SIS to
500. However, the commission sus-
pended the fines on thirty-eight play
ers, allowing only thirteen fines to
stand. The men who must pay are:
Players Hendricksen, Janvrin, Short
en-, Hoblitze1, Lewis, Mentally, Scott,
Cady. Ruth and Barry of the worlds
champion Boston American league
team; Players Cobb and Young of the
Detroit Americans, and Player Davis
of the Philadelphia Americans. All of
these were fined 500 except Cobb,
who must pay.$50.
Why Red Sox Fined.
The fines on the Boston Americans
come as the result of game played
at New Haven, Conn.,, in violation OF
the rule against members of the
worlds champions playing in games
after the close of the season. Barry
did not play, but managed the team
that did play.
Davis was fined as the manager of
team which played in various eastern
cities, but the fines of the remainder
of the team were suspended because
it was brought out in the testimony
that Davis had assured his teammates
that he had the word of President
johnson of the American league that
here would be no official objections
to the team playing. The commission
states that President Johnson simply
advised Davis to take up the matter
with the chairman of the commission,
which, according to the chairman, he
failed to do.
Herrmann's Statement.
The chairman, August Hermann,
states that had Davis taken the matter
up with him refusal to play would
have been the only possible ruling.
Player Young was fined for playing
with a team in the east after the dis
bandment of the Canadian tourists.
while Cobb was fined on account of
his having taken part in game at
New Haven4against the Boston Amer
leans. 49,.
Among those players who were
fined, but whose fines were suspended,
are Walter Johnson of Washington
and Grover Alexander of the Phila-
delphia Nationals, SIS each.
