to own two baseball clubs In the same
league. IL this is true. u probably IS
due to conditions. | know OF several
times when one man owned stock in two
or more clubs. Chris Won der Ahe AZ
one time owned Ave In the association.
At one time Comiskey had money IN al
most every club in the American League
In both these cases owners OF prosper

ster weak ones. and would nave re-
joiced at the chance 10 get others IN IN
fact, Comiskey held on and saved the
league by turning his holdings over 70
strong owners who could carry them
without his aid. Possibly. IL Dunn owns
Newark, the motive may be similar.
Newark, In my estimation Is an excel

erly located and the proper owners M
city Is good otherwise.
Any way You Choose
p. O. Ker-You can get that question
rules vary In every section and In al
most every crowd. But the right OF the
onener TO split his openers Is strongly
upheld hy Hoyle who states that the
opener must at all times place MS ais
card in the center OF the table under
the chips which enables him to spit
his openers without notice. Many play
under rules forbidding the opener 10
split unless the pot is raised. but Hoy!e
does. not mention this
Walter Starr. Indianapolis. - Now

that same argument IN the Darkroom at
Johnny's once, and went TO the book
on it-and lost You lose. unless X was

than YOU lose twice. Overriding Is
dangerous in skat IL the player over

Passt-Mir-Sicht or Guckser, when the

from n fellow with that name.

Como Ancestry.
" T Iszacs-HaYe looked over thai
pedigree. Also have searched all the
record books IN sight. Can't find any
OF your DOGS ancestors Daisy Bell. his
.~randam. was a towboat on the Ohio
frtrer. Andy r. was the jauitor In tne
eor,rt house a. home. Blue WINK was Sol
HSdson's old mule. and Clap Trap was
n clown with RIngling's show. That's
A FAR as I can trace the pups ancestry.

The report stated also that Dempsey

This warn was largely accepted but
never proved an FAR as know. II SEEM
ed TO be based upon the fact that Will
lard's seconds and assistants failed TO
examine Dempsey's gloves before the
fight II you're going 10 believe half
that sort OF stuff told after fights you'll
have a fine idea OF the honesty OF the
sport. The safe rule in fighting Is
that IL you win It's on the level; II you
lose It's fake.
