troubled with constipation. Mrs. Rob-

when she first moved to Nation she
was great sufferer from indiges-

her and there was a feeling like a
heavy weight pressing on her stomach

Easter Program Appreciated


Our Easter program was success
fully carried out, practically on the
lines originally laid down, except that
we were unable to give one number,
"Seno the Light" by the quartet, as
Mr.. Howland's voice was nocessary
for the proper rendition by the quar-
tet of that number. Mrs. Pearce was
scheduled to act as substitute for
Rowland, but unfortunately, her mo-
Their, Mrs. McElroy, is III anil Mrs,
Pearce could not attend the service.
We had many visitors Mt the service
In all the attendance was about so.
We appreciate this support from our
friends and well wisllers, especially so
as this was our first formal attempt
to bring a special program before the
public. AS in all FIRST attempts there
were errors, but it is only through
profiting by mistakes and correcting
them that success can finally be at
tanned. We desire TO thank our
friends for their kindly interest in
this initial effort and to say that only
by such support and cooperation can
we hope to mako a success of our So
cial efforts.

This swift depreciation, coupled with high
gasoline and oil costs, in most cases makes
long-haul rapid transit by truck IN
profitable.
Tire equipment which could cancel these
disadvantages while increasing speed and
radius, would do more for the motor truck
than any other one thing.
Such equipment n0qy is aUa12a6le for every
motor nzck usev-in the Goodyear Cord
Tires for Motor Trucks shown at the top
of this page.
These are pneumatic tires made especially
for heavy truck service-with carrying
capacity greater than that Of the ordinary
truck itself.
They quicken the speed of the truck,
lengthen its range, save tremendously in
gasoline and oil consumption, and cut
depreciation to the minimum.

The Worth of Sbeed and Range

TUST two things make the motor truck
more efficient in its field than the
:. horse and wagon: these are speed
and range.
Just two things bar the motor truck from
a far wider field of usefulness: lack of
speed and lack of range.
Given these two qualities in sufficient
degree, the motor truck might very we'll
compete formidably with even the major
forms of transportation.
The chief obstacle to such employment for
the motor truck now, is the solid rubber
tires with which it is commonly equipped.
The solid rubber tire unquestionably is sat-
isfactory for slow-speed short hauls through
congested districts, but it excludes the
truck from high-speed long distance work.
The vibration set up through the imperfect
cushioning it affords in such service soon

They disencumber the truck of every him
drance to full utility, and in the sternest
service make it ride like limousine.
Goodyear Cord Tires for Motor Trucks
are in no way an experiment-theya are
development of fifteen years time.
They are the practical expression of an old
Goodyear idea, brought to final success
only through the perfection Of the Goodyear
PRINCIPLE at cord h1p construction.
The extra speed and range they afford the
motor truck means faster deliveries and
more of them each day-more profitable
operation over a greater area.
Except in the most CONSTRUCTED service, it
means lower cost per ton mile than now
is delivered by the solid rubber tire.

TENER DEPl0RES
THREAT OF STRIKE
BY BIG LEAGUERS

New York, Jan. 12-John K. Tener,
president of the National League and
one Of the three members Of the
National Commission, said last night
that he deplored the threatened
stand Of the, baseball players fra
ternity in so far as it might affect
the National League. He declared
that there was absolutely no ground
for what might be termed a strike on
the part Of the players.
1--WE have granted every request
that has been made to the National
League he said. ''fn fact. think 7
am safe in going further and stating
that the major leagues have dealt
with perfect fairness and harmony in
the matter of contractual relations
with their employees.
''The National Commission has no
jurisdiction over the minor leagues or
the National Board, and these bodies
have a perfect right, to adjust their
relations with their players as they
may see fit. So far as the big league
players are concerned, a refusal of a
majority of them to sign contracts
with their respective clubs until mat
tiers concerning the minor league
clubs are adjusted to their satisfac-
ton is equivalent ina broad sense to
sympathetic strike
President Tener refused to say what
methods of retaliation might be
adopted in case the fraternity mem
bers carried out their threats to
strike, but stated that the situation
would undoubtedly be discussed al
the schedule meeting Of the big
leagues in this city next Monday.

consideration.

consideration.
The head of the fraternity admits
the weakness of the organization in
the New York clubs. He declares
that this is due to the fact that SO
many of the Giants and Yankees are
held to long-term contracts. Fultz
says that not only are the members Of
the fraternity standing in solid array
behind the minor leaguers, but also
players who are not members of the
organization at all are willing to join
in the movement. He says that let
ters have been received from some Of
the brightest stars in the game de-
manding that the players stand for
their rights.
The statement given out by Presi-
dent F'ultz is as follows:
The Expulsion of SalIec.
The report that Harry F. Sallee re-
Gently signed a contract with the New
York Giants has been investigated bv
the fraternity and found to be true.
Sal1ee was member of the fraternity
and voluntarily pledged himself, with
between 600 and 700 other PLAYERS,
not to enter into a contract until he
was instructed to do so after our re-
quests to organized ball had received
proper consideration. AS no consid-
Grafton whatever has been given our
requests to the board, and as Sallee
acted in direct violation Of his pledge,
he was yesterday expelled from the
fraternity. This Is the necessary result
Of any such act and no exceptions cum
be made. Sallee now stands discred.
tied among ball players as man who
broke his word and who would not
stick with his people.
It has been reported that Ritter,
Sandberg and Witterstaetter have
also signed. Witterstaetter has not
signed, ,and the report was evidently
given out for the effect it would have
on other players. Ritter did not
pledge himself to the fraternity, and
his case will be taken up later. Sand
berg is not a member.

M'CANN BUSH AGAIN.

Gene Mccain must be afraid some-
body else will win q pennant in the
Eastern league sometime. He has al
ready signed a couple Of Cubans for
his New London club and his latest
purchase is First Baseman DeNoville
Of the Lynn club. DeNoville is only
. youngster but looks like a first class
player. The chances are that he will
land in faster company after one more
year III the minors. He hit hard for
Lynn last season.
Mccain has also strengthened his
pitching staff by getting Soldier Full
Ter, who was with Lawrence last year.
Fuller did great work for the make
shift Lawrence club and many con-
sidered him a better twirler than
Pennington, who was drafted for the
big league. Mccain does not believe
in waiting until April to get ball
players. He starts in the winter and
by the time the other managers are
coming up for air he has a team all
selected.

Dave Sullivan Won
His Last Victory in
Ring Is Years Ago

Dave Sullivan, long famous as a
featherweight and lightweight boxer,
won his last victory IS years ago to-
day, when he defeated Jimmy Briggs
in Boston. Dave then went to San
Francisco and lost to Young Corbett,
after which Charlie Neary bested him
in Milwaukee, and Kid Herman stop
ped him at Hot Springs. Dave was
the younger brother of the equally
famous Spike Sullivan, who was long
one of the iron men of the ring.
Dawes ring career began in 1894,
and four years later he won the
featherweight title from Solly Smith.
He held the honor less than seven
weeks, George Dixon, the ex-cham-
pion, winning the title back on a foul.
That Dave was scarcely of champion
--''nre was proved in his next fight,
Oscar Gardner knocked him
Nthough his winning of a title
onething of an accident, Dave
was a mighty good fighter, as all old
timers KNOW

.FUL TON AND JESS
WILLARD MAY BOX
. ten ROUND AFFAIR

New York, Jan. 13.-There is a
movement on foSt to bring Fred Full
ton and Jess Willard together in a
ten round session in this city at no
very distant date. Frank Force, Full
toms manager, is busy with confer
ences which are expected to lead up
to such a match. lack Curley and
others interested in the ring affairs
of Willard are busy with the West
srner, and if Force is ready a meet
ing between Willard and Fulton may
2be arranged within a short time.
OF course Fulton and Force have
had a Willard match in mind for
quite q while., In fact before the two
got together Mike Collins, a former
manager was trying to steer the
trowel wielder into a battle with Will
lard in New Orleans. But the match
fell through At that time Fulton had
practically nothing in the way of a
record to indicate that he would have
any chance against the title holder.
The consideration which stands in
the way OF such a match just now is
whether Fulton is ready for the fray.
A very favorable Interpretation has
been placed on his performance in
knocking out Tow Cowler ALI agree
that Fulton is a vastly improved
boxer. Still, has he improved enough
to warrant that he will have even the
short end of a show with Willard
Both Fulton and Force want a. match
with Willard. but their better counsel
indicates that it would be advisable
to stave it off until Fred can try out
against Frank Moran and possibly one
OF two others
However, Fm!tor: might do well In q
ten round bout. Such match would
mean little more than fine chance

PLAYERS ExPEL SALLEE AND
THREATEN BIC LEAGUE STRIKE
Fraternity Members Sore at Giant Pitcher for Signing
tract Early

New York, Jan. 12-The threat of
a baseball strike in the major and
minor leagues took on a serious as
pect last night, when President David
L. FultZ of the Baseball Players Fra
ternity declared in emphatic terms
that unless the requests of the fra
ternity for the betterment Of cohdi-
tons for minor league players were
granted there would be no need Of
training camps this spring. The an
nouncement came like a thunder
clap to the baseball club owners, be-
cause up to the. present time they
have had unlimited confidence that all
the players would sign their contracts
without hesitation.
aThat the fraternity means business
is shown by it's action in expelling
Harry F. Sallee, the Giants pitcher,
from the organization, accusing him
Of breaking his pledge that he would
await permission of the organization
before afixing his signature to con-
tract. Sallee was the first player to
sign new contract, and President
Fultz says that Slim acted in direct
violation of his pledge. The New
York pitcher is the first player who
has ever been subjected to this radi-
cal action by the players organiza-
ton.
In the throwing down of the
gauntlet SO boldly to the baseball
magnates by the fraternity the danger
in the situation has assumed greater
proportions than the club owners had
thought possible. President F'ultz i'm
Inmates that the majority of the major
league players are solidly. behind the
minor leaguers in their fight for better
| conditions.
The object Of the whole movement
is to give the players in the minor
leagues the same recognition that Mas
been granted to the major league
players. Briefly, the, four demands
made by the minor league players,
which form the bass OF the threat
| ened strike are tas follows:
1. Elimination Of contracts permit
ting the suspension Of injured play
crs and the loss of salary during the
period of their durability.
| 2. Permission TO players to sign
new contracts immediately after they
J have been notified of their uncondi-
tional release.
8. Allowance to players OF traveling
| expenses from their homes to their
club headquarters or their training
camps.
4. That the frat rnity be notified in
full of the findings of the National
Board in cases brought by players and
receive an opportunity to reply
Ever since the National Associa-
ton Of Minor Leagues rejected the
players demands at the New Orleans
! meeting last November, the fraternity
has been busy in making preparations
! for baseball strike, and when the
signing of SalleeAto q new contract
marked the first break in the ranks
Of the players, President Fultz decld-
! ed to show his hand.
He says that the fraternity has a
membership Of between 900 and 7C0
players, and that they are all pledged
not to sign contracts for the coming
season until the -fraternity's requests
to organized bail for the minor
leaguers nave RECEIVED the proper

ROSS SHOWS Big
IMPROVEMENT BY
BEATING SWEENEY
(By Wagner.>

The fur overcoats and the loud
old Kid Cold at the Casino last night
and by II o'clock managed to get
draw. * the early part of the even
ing Kid Cold was leading by wide
margin. Fast footwork by the shiver-
ing fans was all that kept them in the
running as chilly as Les Darcy's re-
ception here. The mercury wouldn't
go upstairs in the thermometer at all.
BY paying close attention to the
bouts arranged by the Long Acre
A. c. the crowd managed to forget
the frosty air. The main bout be-
tween Hugh Ross and Knockout
Sweeney proved a walkaway for
Ross He was too clever for, Sweeney
but the latter won the admiration Of
the crowd by his game manner Of
| taking a beating.
In the very first round Ross landed
his left and cut Sweeney's face. From
that time on he continually plastered
blows on Sweeney's countenance un-
| til it looked like battle scene in
Belgium. But Sweeney never backed
away. Throughout the IL rounds he
| came forward for more and except
| for his battered face he was appar-
entity little the worse for wear after
| the final round.
Ross showed that he Is improving
all the time. He generally beat his
opponent to the punch and made
good use of his left. For some I'm
known reason he seldom used his
right after the third round. Referee
MCGOWAN, a licensed New York state
official, predicted that Ross would be
g. top notcher soon if he continued
his present rate Of improvement
I In the semi-final Larry Williams Of
Stratford knocked out Sailor Jim
Carroll in the sixth round. Carroll
was willing enough but he was no
match for Williams.
Charley Pitts furnished a surprise
by outpointing Red Allen in a ten
round session. Because Of his
punching ability it was expected AL
len would win but was unable to put
over his haymaker. He had to all
appearances wrapped it up but could
not deliver it. Pitts gave a clever
exhibition. Although not able to
hurt Allen he managed to cut the
local boys face
In the six round opener Pepper
Martin got a shade over Tommy
Shea of New Haven. Martin gave
the fans a good time by bouncing
around the ring and trying blows new
err before seen on land or sea. He
did most of the leading, though, and
landed more frequently than Shea.
The largest crowd of the season
saw the show, which was well han

CARPENTER REAL
BULLDOG WHEN IN
FISTIC ENCOUNTER

Georges Carpenter, Frances pugi-
iistic idol and most gallant of fighting
airmen, was born at Lens % years ago
today. Since becoming a military
aviator Carpenter has. thrice been
decorated for bravery record of
which all friends of the boxing game
may we'll be proud. Carpenter work
ed in a coal mine as a boy, but he is
now an owner of coal mines-al-
though these are now being worked
by the Germans. Beginning his ring
career at 10, Carpenter fought his
way through all the decisions from
bantamweight up = to light heavy
weight.
IT know Carpenter WE'LL" says
Eugene CORR in his book, Thirty
Years Roxing Referee and adds:
"He possesses all the natural charm
that characterizes the finished French
Frenchman. His manners are de-
lightful, and might well excite any
ones envy; but these things do not
comprise the character of Carpenter
There is in him as much Of the bull
dog tenacity and courage as any
Briton ever possesses.
HE can be frightfully fierce, though
in saying that I must not be thought
to convey that he violates the tradi-
lions OF the ring. He fights fiercely,
but he fights fairly, and never sa far
as have seen, subordinates his art to
ffoundering violence. Hiss cleverness
is very remarkable at critical juno
lures, while his hitting powers at
close quarters is astounding. The
young Frenchman, though the war
has cost him thousands of pounds,
Is brfNnful of cheerfulness and optim-
ism and all the virtues that go to
make O real man.
