MANAGERS SHY
OF GAME LEG
BALL PLAYERS
Two Fracture Victims Try
to Work Back Into Game
This Season.

Ball players who suffered fractured
usually find the shedding rough when
they don the ,spangles and attempt a
comeback. A fractured leg does not
necessarily mean that the victim will
be a cripple for the remainder of his
life. but big league managers are not
taking chances on the boys who may
have to favor n of their pins, when
other players may be obtained.
Two striking examples of fracture
victims trying to York their way back
into the baseball limelight, are to be
observed this season, and the students
closely and keep tab on results.
Two years 6 Vic Safer, then star
first sacker for the Chicago Cubs,
broke his leg. Vic was knocked off
the Cub payroll and Barney Dreyfuss
picked him up. Rather than play
with the Pirates. Vic temporarily
withdrew from the game. Recently
he buried the Ratchet and is now
down in Birmingham trying to make
good for Hugo Bezdek. .
The other case is that of Bert
Niehof, who fractured one of his pins
while a member of the Giants. Bert
was waived out Of the majors and f.
nally landed with Bill Clymer at Sc
attic. He must show hat his injured
leg is as good as ever before he will
be returned to the big show" Eth
er or both of these players may be
as good as ever, but McGraw would
not take a chance on Niehof and
Dreyfuss would offer Safer nothing
substantial until the former Cub ac-
tually made good.
With the player limit and salary
Limit cut down for this year. pilots are
going to be certain Of their talent be-
fore they sign any binding documents,
and in these and similar cases, it ie
one of the tragedies of baseball that
a man should be injured on duty and
then refegated to the minors-until he
proves himself. The scheme doesn't
seem to admit of much substantial
appreciation Of utmost effort, which Il

The fans will keep close ccoun OF

MORGAN AFTER
MONEY FOR HIS

Manager Says Champ Will
Not Hold Welter Title

Dan Morgan. managing Jack Brit
tons who recently won the weller IT,
tie by stopping Kid Lewis at Canton,
to get the money with his aged title
holder. before some husky youngster
rocks Jack to sleep.
Morgan only last week sent out an
nouncements that while Britton holds
the 142 pound championship. clubs
figuring on using him must be pre-
pared to guarantee Britton $1,000 for
10 or IL rounds, Or else give him the
privilege of SO per cent Of the gross
receipts, where the gross capacity is
not less than $4,000. Where Britton
is wanted to fight more than -
rounds. promoters must orange

Manager Morgan is nothing if not
perfectly frank in his announcement
when he says Britton does not ex-
pect to carry the weller title to his
grave. He declares Britton will fight

Is a nice way of saying Britton will
get the money while the getting is

Britton has always been a high
priced workman. Before he had the
title. cinched, and even after Lewis
beat him in that now famous Dayton,
Ohio, engagement. Britton would not
entertain negotiations for a match

a privilege Of rs per cent.
It has always been properly the
duty Of American fistic champions to
state their terms in bouts where the
title was involved. but the money

THOUSANDS OF
ITALIANS HOMELESS
BECAUSE OF QUAKES
Earthquakes in Northern Italy Did
Great Damage Extent Of Which
Is Not Yet Known.

Rome, June 30.-The earthquake
which shook northern Italy yesterday
continued until early today.
Scores of persons are dead and hun
dreds injured. With the resumption
of communication, it is expected the
casualty list would increase. A num-
Der of villages we're razed and at least
20 were partially in ruins.
Forty persons we're dead at Vicchio,
which almost entirely was wiped out.
Miralond also was razed and a large
part Of the population buried under
the ruins. Heavy casualties are be-
lieved to have occurred there, but no
acurate estimate is possible yet.
At Olmi scores of houses we're de-
stroyed Many casualties occurred.
Destruction was great at Rabatta and
Casaglia, a number of persons being
buried in the latter town. Florence,
where the earthquake first was felt,
| was among the cities reporting cas-
| ualties.
Only meager news was being re-
| ceived today, owing to dislocation Of
communication facilities, but it was
recalled that in the Messina earth
quake few casualties and light dam
age were reported until communica-
tion was re-established, when the ex-
tent of the disaster revealed itself.

SCHOOL BOOK BOARD
OPENS new BIDS
MONDAY MORNING
Mason County Member of the Com.
mission is Late In Arrlying-Un.
ion Printers are Represented.

Frankfort, Ky. July Bids and
proposals for the adoption of the text
books for the common schools of the
state for five years were opened Mon
day by the State Text Book Commits
sion. This work was done by the COM
mission in executive session held in
the office of Governor James D. Black
The commission decided by resolution
to open all other meetings to the pub
lie.
Only a short session was held the
commission adjourning until Tuesday.
This was done in order to give Super
intendent of Public Instruction Gil
bert an opportunity to tabulate the
bids and proposals so that when the
commission convenes today it will be
in position to get down to business.
All members of the commission
were present with the exception of
John Hurst Adams, of Minerva who
failed to arrive in time to attend the
meeting.
The Grinstead Speller was submit
ted by Thomas Scott, of Lexington,
president of the Pennsylvania Publish
ing Company.
The Heller Physiology was offered
for adoption. The book was incom-
plete when offered at the previous
adoption. Since then it has been re-
vised and edited, and is now in COM
plete form.
Although books and bids submitted
to the commission are not known, it is
reported that CHM & Company have
submitted bids on their physiologies
now in use at the present price, the
American Book Company bids on first,
second and third readers at the same
price and Lyons and Carnahan on
arithmetics at the same price. 1t is
also reported that the languages sub
mitted by CHM G. Company are at an
advanced price and that the American
Book Company did not submit bids on
their old geography at the same price.
Peter Campbell secretary of the
Kentucky State Federation of Labor,
believes that the adoption made by the
State Text Book Commission, which
was declared invalid by the Court of
Appeals, was a good one and that the
commission rendered the people of the
state a splendid piece of work The
selection, he said, was the best Ken
lucky has had, and that in face of the

CITY DOG CATCHER
IS AGAIN ON The Job
First Dog Catcher Maysville Ever
Had And the Best Returns
From War and Takes Up
Job Again.

Harry Wilson, who was the first Of
fetal dog catcher the city OF Mays
VILE ever had, returned from France
a short while ago where he had been
fighting for Uncle Sam for several
months and where he was rather bad
ly wounded. This morning he was in
duced by Mayor Russell to take back
his old job as City Dog Catcher for a
while and he has started on the job.
Harry is dog ketcher" who knows
his business and will certainly rope in
many.
Mayor Russell says there are about
7S licensed dogs in the city of Mays
VILE and there are thousand worth
less ours within the city or more.
Those who do not pay their dog IL
cense promptly and get tag on their
dog are standing a great chance OF
having him picked up and carried OIL
to the pound.
