Speculation Over
the Receipts From Coming
Heavyweight Ring Battle

price of seats at SIS was not because
Of the protest of Tom Jones, Wizards
manager. When he first announced
that the top price would be $50 the
promoter did not see his way clear to
come out better than even Oh tile pro-
position.
The charts Of seats have made up
and the prices arranged so that the
promoters will manage to make a tidy
profit. There will be 1.4C0 of the $50
seats in the front row boxes, about
the ringside. Richard said that these
have practically been asked for. Judg-
ing from the demand for seats the pro-
moters predict that the garden will
be sold out long before the bout takes
place. =
The promoters realize that it is go
ing to be a difficult task to keep the
pasteboards out of the hands Of seal
pers. All the ticket agencies have
made demands for tickets, but Rick
ard has refused to permit the agen-
cies to distribute them unless they
do 1t on the same basis as theatre
tickets are disposed Of, All advance of
so cents ticket. AS the agencies
realize that they can get price far
in advance of this they are holding
out for the privilege Of disposing of
them at their own prices, to be regu-
lated by the demand.

Mystery Surrounds the
Nelv Gunner Of Cleveland
.... American League Team
Rumor Has it That Prominent
Chicago Man Has Purchased
Team; Not Confirmed.
LEE FOIL MANAGER
FOR NEXT SEASON

Chicago, Feb. 17.-Probably when
the name Of the new owner of the
| Cleveland American league. team is
announced the fans will wonder who
he is. Rumors from Cleveland were
to the effect that the chief hacker was
prominent Chicago business man.
Others had it thai big Cleveland
man, was to lead the cub. President
Johnson of the league will give no
hint Of the name OF the man.
The American league boss said pos
itively, however, that Lee Foil would
be manager for at least another year
regardless of the alleged plans OF
George Stovall and Roger, Bresnahan
to break into the job. He also scoffed
at the report that Charles w. Murphy,
former boss of the Cubs, was the real
hacker Of the new syndicate
Il saw a report in the papers that
the Cleveland club had been solo,
said Johnson, ,"and called up Mr..
Sherwin on the long-distance tele-
phone. Mr.. Sherwin is president Of
the bank which has taken over Mr..
Somers' affairs in Cleveland. l. was
told by Mr.. She1win that he did not

control the Cleveland club. Mr.. Hold

land club for about the last four
weeks, and at the same time, the
bankers who have the affairs Of the
club in hand have shown no concern
whatever. Consequently 1t is only
natural to suppose that things have
been fixed up for at least month.
and because of the quiet and secrecy
of the affair it. is supposed that in
reality the American league magnates,
at least few of them of the type of
Charles Comiskey, have agreed. to
carry the Cleveland club for the time
being with the hope that it will be
winner and that it's former owner,
Charles Somers, will be successful in
other business ventures and that In
the end the whole thing will be slip
ped back into his hands.

New York, Feb. 17.-There is a lot
Of speculation about the prospective
profit out of the Willard-Moran fight,
for Pickard and McCracken. the pro-
motors.
The expense of the bout will be I'M
usually heavy. The purse and bonus
es offered the boxers amount to
S77,5O0 alone. The state tax on the
bout will reach more than $4,000
while the large number Of compliment
tary seats which will have to be taken
from the total number of 1900 will
mean a loss of more than $4,000.
Richard figures that these items, with
incidental expenses, will bring the ex-
penses of the bout up to at least
$4,000. 1t was On account of seeing
such a great expense in store that
Richard and McCracken hesitated
about charging less than $50 fo1 ring
side boxes.
They have, however, decided to
make $25 the maximum price for
seats.
If all the seats are sold the promot-
ers figure they will have profit of
$4,000 above all expenses
The price of the seats will be SO,

will be only 500 of the So pastebOards,

The Double Charm Of the Suburbs.

simeon Strunsky. in Harper's Magazine.
Walking in the outer suburbs is a
fascinating exercise because of ther real
estate operator who has filled the land
scape with surprises. You have reached
the outskirts of the city. Before you
lies a primitive vista. fields as far as
the eye can reach, a good deal OF
marsh, some old trees in the FORE
ground, and perhaps a bit of water
large enough for skating in winter. Or
there may be a tangle OF dwarf timber
and scrub running clear to the horizon,
unbroken by those deadly enemies Of
rural beauty, the factory chimney and
the gas tank. Looking across the
waste of brush and fallow, one might
imagine it melting into the prairies OF
the west. and SO on to the Pacific. You
scent the genuine primitive, the real
suburban. To your right, a path. a
zeal country path, leads through q
grove. So o follow it. prepared for
adventure, feeling something like
Stanley or Captain Scott.
In two minutes you are through he
grove and slap up against a steam
shovel. Across the field runs a cash
a quarter of a mile long, and 1t is
crossed by five similar scars. They arc
new streets. The sign posts are up.

Mink a Clover Thief.

From the Philadelphia North American.
Very talented is the mink. He can
climb trees like a squirrel. win like a
fish, dig a hole like a mole and kill chick
ems like a weasel. In addition, he Is en-
lowed with an unusually fine fur, which
makes him valuable prey for the hunter.
He's more or less common along woodland
streams, and altogether too common in
the neighborhood of the farmers poultry
yard.
Although he can dig as good a burrow
as any other animal. the mink sometimes
chooses to steal a muskrat's home rather
han build one for himself. To avoid flu
ture trouble with the ousted muskra the
mink kills and eats him.
Usually he prefers to max his home
along the bank of a stream or at the foot
o ia waterfall. Sometimes. when hts
taste for poultry becomes cultivated. he
will stablish himself under the me
barn to be near his food supply. LIe can
track his prey like a hound. Besides Eoul-
try he has a taste for rats. mice, fish ard
frogs.
To aid him in his fishing, the mink has
partly webbed feet. His sharp claws help
him in climbing trees, and sometimes he
will attack birds in their nests. He is a
little more than IL inche long. has n lark
brown fur and a light spot In his throat.
Before seal skin became popular a single
skin OF the mink was worth from SO 20

The Madison County Medical society. he
said. had not decried as ''unethical" the
publication OF physicians business cards.
but there had been a gradual decrease In
