AN EXCITING CAREER.

Edward Victor Rickenbacher was
born in Columbus, o, about thirty
years ago. He has been identified
with automobile competition for the
last ten years, making his first ap-
pearance as a mechanician on the
Frayer-Miller entry in the 1906 Van
derbilt cup classic.
The first eight years of his racing
career were veiled in obscurity. and
it was not until July a, 1914. that
he leaped into fame. On that day
he won the first 300 mile event run
on the gumbo dirt tract at Sioux
City. He had his most successful
season last year. when he was the
only driver to win three open speed
way events. He repeated his VIC
tory of the year previous at Sioux
City, showed the way to the field at
Omaha and took first money at
Providence. In addition to these
victories, ne hnlShed tnlrd IN tne
Chicago motor derby. his Maxwell
being the first American car to COM
plete the 500 mile grind.
HE'S A BACHELOR.
Rickenbacher is as well-versed in
motor car construction as any driver
in the game. He has built and sold
automobiles. 1t is significant that
he is one of the few stars in the
racing game who has selected an
Amertcan-made car for his 1916
campaign.
Despite his fame and his good
looks, Rickenbacher has remained
single. He has but one love and
that's his Maxwell racing car. He
is captain of the Prest-O-Lite team
this year and has under his juris'
diction the four Maxwell cars that
are owned by Carl G Fisher and
James Allison, the Indianapolis race
magnates.

LEADING PLAYERS OF MAJOR LEAGUES MAY
 DECLARE A STRIKE
Refusal of Club Owners to Consider Requests of Play CTS Is Cause of Unrest in the Baseball World, Report.
(By Review Leased WIre)

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-The possibil- ity of trouble between players and club owners again looms large on the base ball horizon. The action of the Ma tionai association of professional leagues in tabling. without comment. the request of the players fraternity at New Orleans yesterday threatens to bring about a clash between the two organizations that will have a far reaching effect.
 Although officers of the fraternity refuse to talk for publication, it is known that there have been several recent conferences among players pro minent on the board of directors and that a campaign of relations has been mapped out which may evolve a situa- tion akin to a strike among the lead ing players of the major and minor leagues.
 To Force Reconsideration.
 It is apparent that the disposal of the fraternity's request by the Ma tional association was surmised in ad- vance and provisions made to force a

 Demand Agreement.
 They claim that they are similar in a general way to the agreements ex- isting between employees and employ CTS in other lines of business and must be observed in the future if players and magantes are to work in harmony for the advancements of the best in- terests of baseball. It is known that

.DR, E, W. WALKER IS CLEARED OF CHARGES
 MADE AGAINST HIM
Testimony in Preliminary Ex- animation Fails to Show He Was In the Least Connected With the Sad Affair.

The preliminary examination of Dr.
 E. W. Walker, charged with having
 performed an illegal operation on the person of Alma Erickson. was held yesterday before Judge Totman and resulted in the Doctor being discharg-
 ed and entirely cleared of any blame
 in the least in connection with the af- fair. The testimony introduced failed to show that the Doctor was implicated in the matter at all. except the state ment that was signed by the little girl just prior 10 her death in the Copper Queen hospital several weeks ago.
 The testimony of witnesses went to the real culprit and that he was en- tirely to blame in the disgraceful act and that the mother knew of the facts. It is surmised that the young girl
 was told by her father in particular to lay the blame on the Doctor and that the girl in fear of her life made the statement that she did.
 The father has not been heard of for several days, although an effort
 has beer made to locate him in all
 parts of the country. He left this city
 few days after the Doctor had been arrested and an investigation had been started by Attorney Fred Sutter in behalf of the Doctor.
 The many friends of the Doctor who have stood by him in his trouble were firm in their belief that he had been made the victim of circumstances and that he would clear himself when the time came, as he did yesterday. It is unfortunate that the matter could not have been cleared up before
 and the Doctor saved from being con- fined fin jail the time that he was and
 made to suffer for the crime of which
 he was entirely innocent.

THREE YEAR OLD CHILD IS BITTEN BY DOG
 WITH RABIES
Robert Lee Ritchie, the Young Son of Mrs. w. H. Ritchie
 of Lowell, Is Attacked By
 Dog and Bitten on Shoulder

The three year old son of Mrs. w. H. Ritchie of Lowell was bitten Tues day afternoon by dog suffering from the rabbies and as a consequence the local officers have begun the extermi- nation of all stray dogs in the dis trict.
 The little boy and a little girl were playing in the yard in the vicinity of the Brophy Fuel and Feed Yard when the dog came running in and bit the boy on the shoulder, drawing blood. He screamed and his mother rushed out to see what was the matter and the little fellow told his mother what had happened. Medical aid was sum- moned and the wound was cauterized.
 Yesterday the officers succeeded in finding the dog and he was killed and an examination made of his brain by Drs. Hunt and Durfree of the local laboratory. The examination disclos- ed the fact that the dog was suffering from the rabies.
 The little boy was not suffering any from the effects of the bite as yet but it is possible that he will be taken to Fl Paso today to be given the pasteur treatment so as to make sure that there will be no i'll effect from the bite.
 The work of, exterminating the loose dogs about the district was started last night and several of them were killed in Bisbee. Lowell and Warren by the officers. Parties own ing dogs are advised to keep them locked up for the present so that they will not be shot or exposed to the rabies.

MOST OF AMENDMENTS
 ARE DEFEATED IN ELECTION
Returns From Most of Coun. ties in the State Show That Majority of Proposed Meas ures Voted on Were Defeate ures Were Defeated.

Practically complete returns from nine of Arizona's fourteen counties on the proposed amendments to the con stitution and initiated measures indi- cate that five of the twelve measures passed on by the people have been defeated With the exception of the amendment barring the shipment of liouor into Arizona. the remaining measures and amendments are in doubt. The nine counties in which the count is about complete are Co., chise, Coconino. Graham. Greenlee, Maricopa. Pima, Santa Cruz. Yavapai. and Yuma.
 The five measures that have cer- tainly been defeated are the three so-called labor measures, proposed by the Arizona Federation of Labor, the local option amendment and the amendment to the divorce law. The labor measures provided for the abo- lition of the state senate, for the ere ation of a department of labor and for the establishment of the office of state architect. All three of these measures were defeated By vote of approximately two to one. The local option amendment, which would have permitted each county or incorporated town to vote on the question of per hitting the sale of liquor was defeat ed by majority of over two to one. A large vote was cast against the proposed divorce bill, which was viz ororsly opposed in some quarters on the ground that it was practically a duplication of the Nevada statute. The bill as drawn provided additional causes for divorce, including incanity and incurable diseases. and reduced the residence limit from one year to six months.
 The vote on abolition of the death penalty is so close that the result will not be known until after the official canvass. The bill requiring major f ity of all the votes cast to enact an | initiated or referred measure is also uncertain, the votes from nine coun- ties showing a slight majority for the bill. The measure providing for leg
 islative redistricting. the workman's i compensation act and the bill amend. ! ing the game laws are still uncertain owing to the close vote on each meas. ure., Indications are that a measure
 referred by the legislature clearing I up the statute regarding exemptions from taxation was defeated by the action of thousands of voters who did
 not understand what the measure
 meant.

 amendments and initiated measures
 in the above listed counties is as fol
