Chips and Slips

Jack Holland, owner of the Okla
own managing. has ideas of his own
about keeping players on their toes.
He got hold of 'possum. chained it
to the bench, told the players it was
to be the teams mascot and also sort
of register of events.
The possum, explained Holland, was
prone to play dead. Any time one of
his players played dead the animal was
to be called by the players name until
the next dead play came up, when the
player guilty would bear the shame of
having the 'possum named after him.
Holland thinks it a great idea for
keeping heads up.
A minor league manager tells Of one
of his pitchers who had had a bad day
and kept the bases we'll occupied for
several innings. Coming back to the
bench after one tough round, he said
to the manager:
Boss. you'd better take me out; you
know never could pitch good ball with
men on bases"

Jack Dempsey dipped deeply into a

"Haw. Haw!-this is a laugh" he
grinned. Here I am in New York

Dreakfast-the same amount of money
that used to buy me three complete
meals when hit the town for the first
time in 1916. Those were the days

over the chasm of five years-and then
he smiled again

1t seems that before the phrenologist
got around to me he had elected six of
the town kids to become future pres

out two United States senatorships and
had awarded four governorships to
some of the other kids. So when I
wandered along he had no more first
class political jobs left.
He monkeyed around with ny head

debating over some nice refined future
for me. But the best he could do was
to discover that Id be fighter.

Yankees Might Sell
Babes Old Clothes
In the Dull Season

The New York Yankees might make
a neat sum on the sale of Babe Ruth's
uniforms. Manager Higgins says the
team has hundreds of requests from
would-be purchasers of Ruth's uni
forms. Uniforms worn when he has
hit a homer are especially desirable,
according to the manager, and one
Pennsylvania club has offered to pay
5000 for all such outfits the Yankees
will sell. Since Ruth's uniforms cost

LIFE RAFT AID TO AIRPLANE

For airplanes that operate over the
ocean or other large bodies of water,
a life raft, described and illustrated
in the Popular Mechanics Magazine,
has been constructed that can be
used to rescue drowning men, or to
keep the plane Itself afloat IL 1t fails
into the water. Carried detachably
on top of the fuselage of the airplane.
the raft is a pneumatic affair COM
posed of two cylindrical tanks, of
much greater length than diameter,
which are filled with compressed air.
They are disposed opposite each other
in a long collapsible air bag, also
cylindrical, which joins the two tanks
together in continuous oblong form.
Centrally on the face of each of the
tanks is a valve connected to a short
pipe which leads to the air bag. This
forms an air passage by means of
which, when the valve is opened, the
compressed air passes into the air
bags and fills them, the pressure dis
tending them so that they form a
continuous rigid oval tube. Inside
this. and suspended from its flex-
IDLY, is a folding wooden platform,
which opens out when the air pres
sure distends the bags. Connected to
the bags are life lines with small
floats that can be seized by persons
afloat beside the raft. The platform
is for supporting the rescuers and
the rescued.

he said the teeth were worth much
more than this sum and that. as he

LANDRU GIVESADDRESS
OF WIFE HE is ALLEGED
TO HAVE MURDERED

Versailles, November 1s.-Some
doubt as to the guilt of the prisoner
appeared to have been injected into
the minds of the jury trying Henri
Landru, called THE Sluebeard of
Gambais." when Landru today gave
to the court an address of one of the
10 women he is accused of having
murdered. This woman, Madame
Heon, was declared by Landru to
have been alive and residing in =
small hotel in Paris six months after
her supposed death at his hands.
Prosecutor Godefroy told the court
he had good reason to believe that
Landru's statement thai Madame
Heon was living at date after the
alleged murder was correct, but that
an investigation would be made and
a report delivered to the court to-
morrow morning.
Tho general comment among the
lawyers in the courtroom was that
this was Landru's day, as the prose-
cution had reserved its last two
charges of murder against him to

the prisoner with the disappearance
Of the woman. This was not forth

RAILROAD BOARD
ANNOUNCES NEW
WORKING RULES
Rules viii Affect 100000
Men in the Shop Crafts and
81 RoadS-ln Effect
December !

Chicago, Nocember 1S.-The United
States railroad labor board an
nounced tonight that new working
rules for the six shops crafts prob
ably would be completed and issued
in time to become effective Deem
Der 1.
Issuance of the rules under saNre-
cent decision of the board paves the
way for consideration of request
which may be filed by the roads for
revision of the shop craft wage
schedules.
The new shop craft rules will af-
feet approximately 100000 men on all
Glass 1 railroads in the country.
Only "a railroads are directly con-
cerned In the present case, the 9TH
ers not having their submissions in
proper shape when the case was
taken up. but board members antici-
pate that all the Glass l railroads
Will probably carry out the decision
without further hearings.
The boards statement Issued to-
night said;
such satisfactory progress during
the past week has been made in the
consideration OF rules and working
conditions for the six shop crafts
that 1t is altogether probable that
these rules will be completed and
will become effective December l."
The board members said tonight
that the new rules have been prac-
tically Completed in less than five
months, while the national agree
mont which they supersede required
the attention of railways, govern
ment and labor Representatives and
experts for seven months before It
was completed.
The labor boards work on the
rules was interrupted by the threat
ened railroad strike which was
averted October 81. few days pre-
viously the board had announced
that no further wage reductions for
any class of employees would be con-
sidered by the board until working
rules and agreements in dispute for
that class OF employees had been
passed on.
The board 1t was indicated tonight
VIII next take up for consideration
the rules and working conditions for
the maintenance of way employees.
There are large number of disput-
ed questions regarding these rules
already before the board. and sta
tisticlans have prepared most of the
cases for presentation.
The national agreement, which the
new rules will displace, was first
brought before the railroad admins
tration in January, 1919. 1t was sub
mitted to a committee OF 2s men, IA
representing the employees and II
the roads. This committee consid-
cred the rules for four months, after
which the findings were reviewed by
the national board on railway wages
and working conditions. The rail-
way administration then passed on
the rules.
Steps for the revising of the ma
tional agreements between the la
Dor board were taken April Is. 1920,
after the railroads and their en-
ployes had finished preliminary ne
gotiations both as to wages and
rules and working conditions with
out reaching any agreement. The
board ordered further conferences on
working conditions. The results
were reported back to the board.
which In July began the work of
formulating new rules.
