HOW RECEIPTS OF BASEBALL
 CLASSIC ARE DIVIDED BY
 CLUB OWNERS AND PLAYERS

add almost as much to the players pool as the big games themselves.
 The owners of clubs taking part in the worlds series do not get all the money from the receipts even after the shares of the national com mission and the players are deduct ed The regulations provide that after th9se have been subtracted the balance of the gross receipts shall be divided equally between the two clubs. The club owners, however, are their respective leagues 50 per cent of their gross receipts up to seven games and if it be necessary to play the eighth and ninth games, then 7$ per cent of the gross receipts re- ceived by the two clubs under this division shall be paid into the league treasuries.
 As outlined above a game with re- ceipts of $1OO,0O0 after five had been played, would give $1O,00O to the National commission and $90,000 to both club owners or $45,000 for each. Of this $45,OOO each club for the sixth and seventh games would be obliged to turn back $22,500 to their respective league treasuries, and if they received like amount from an eighth or ninth game they would each have to pay to the league treasurer's 75 per cent or $33,750, leaving $11,25O for each of the clubs.

President-eIect Harding De-
Iivers Address in Open
ing Of Senate.

Washington.-Co Congress reconyened
Monday with the customary brief and
routine opening sessions, which were
attended by great crowds, and mark

and historic feature. Senator Hard

The senate was in session twenty
five minutes and the house just twice

tive and legislative branches that ne
expects to insure the highest nation

Visibly affected by the courtesy
shown him by his colleagues and by
crowded galleries, the president-elect
voiced deep regret at the surrender O!
his associations of six years, includ
ing both democrats and republicans II
this tribute of affection and respect
for his fellow senators. He termed
campaign charges of senate oil

clared that as president he would re
gard both senate and house with higl
esteem, but without a thought Of an!

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises Of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
sn endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Ro q
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re.
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success Of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
60 many people claim, that it fulflls al.
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
