DOESN'T LIKE JOB WHICH
NETS HIM $500 MONTHLY

Cincinnati, Ohio, July 18.-If you
had job that paid you $500 month
would you be sick of it and wish to
give it up?
William O'Brien is in just such a
predicament. What is more, he
doesn't care who knows it.
William is jockey, riding at the
Latonia race track here. His con.
tract with +. B. Mclean, millionaire
turfman, calls for a salary of $500 a
month.
A clause in this contract, however,
seeks to bind 0'Brien to keep his
weight under 11O pounds-and being
a growing youth, this is some job.
Every morning and several times
a day O'Brien runs around the track
muffied in heavy clothes in order to
produce the necessary sweating. Be.
sides, he has to forego the dainties
which other persons receiving such a
salary are able to enjoy.

The work or fight" edict as relat ing to baseball players has been pro- .ductive of good men for some of the baseball teams of the copper camps of the Southwest. for the selection of this kind of work allows the players to work and play ball at the same time. The high wages of the copper camps have been attractive to ball players, and the mining companies have been liberal in their support of baseball.
 The baseball club of Tyrone. New Mexico, where the Burro Mountain Branch of the Phelps Dodge Corpora tion is operating, has recently been very fortunate in securing the ser. vices of Bill Pertica. who has made an enviable reputation for a youngs- ter on the slab for the Los Angeles team. Pertica will help produce cop per and will also make the men of the Copper League sit up and take notice.
 The Tyrone team has the reputation of being an unconQuerable bunch of sluggers. and stand well in the lead of the Copper League of New Mexico which includes Hurley. Santa Rita, and Fort Bayard, the two former Chi no Copper Company teams and the latter a soldier team. The winning of twelve successive games by the Phelps Dodge bunch of ball tOssers placed them we'll in the lead. but the other towns have taken advantage of the fact that professional players are heinz rnleaepd and have qtrpugtbpnnd their teams also.
