REINSTA TEMENT PUTS
BENTON BACK AS RED
AFTER EIGHT YEARS
Lands Clears Pitcher of
Charges-Two Play
ers in Trade.

Chicago. March 81. c. "Rube'
Benton. crstwhilc American AssOcia-
ton pitcher, again probably will be
one of the hurlers for the Cincinnati
National League club, returning this
season TO his old, club after eight
years. six and one-half Of which he
played with the New York Giants.
This was indicated yesterday when
X. NJ. lands. commissioner of base
ball, ruled favorably to the pitcher,
on a controversy regarding his eligi-
bility, attacked on the grounds that
lie had prior knowledge of the 1919
world series scandal. Commissioner
lands said the charges should have
been against the pitcher when the
scandal became known and not two
years later. He asserted that at no
time had charges Of dishonest play
ing been filed against Benton.
The National and American league
presidents had announced that Benton
was undesirable" and would not be
permitted TO play. This decision was
contested and it was agreed TO leave
it TO Lands. The commissioner has
been investigating the case for sew
erll weeks.
In making his decision. lands said
the question involved was whether
Benton was eligible to play anywhere
in organized baseball, since the stand
ards of eligibility are as high in the
minor as the majors. Cincinnati had
purchased him during the winter from
the st. Paul club of the American
Association and had defended his
cause.
The Cincinnati club today an
nounced that Outficlder Chick Short
en-, recently secured. and Pitcher Cliff
Marklc would go to st. Paul. in adj
ditiOn to large sum of money, for
Benton.
Dispatches from the training camp
of the Reds in Florida told of re-
joicing among the players at news of
Benton's reinstatement. He is to re-
port at camp Saturday, having al
ready departed for Orlando.

WILLIE RITOLA

Once in while some athlete takes
a fall out of world record. But
seldom does contestant pull the
stunt of tumbling two records at the
same time.
Willie Ritola, the flying Finn. did
this. He set out to beat Joie RAY,
king of distance men-and TO do it
he put forth the greatest three mile
run the world has ever witnessed.
On poorly conditioned indoor track
he beat the cinder path mark.
Doggedly keeping at Joie's heels
with his peculiar. awkward gait, Ri
tola drove the veteran runner to SUI
perhuman efforts. Then, in the sprint
to the tape Taitola passed Ray and
hung mp mark Of II IA As. This
not only shattered the world record
for the inside three-mile run, but low
ers the record the great Alfred Shrubb
set on an English outside track in
1903.

DOUBTS THAT PLAYER
UNION CAUSE OF CUT
IN SOME PAY CHECKS
Magnates Cont Afford to
Tarnper With Public
Opinion Like That.
By JOHN Il. FOSTER.

Copyright. by The San Antonio Light.
New York, March 9.-It is impos-
Siblc in these or any other hectic
days to ascertain the amounts Of sal
aries which are given to ball players
by the various clubs TO which they,
belong unless one Of the parties con-
cerned is willing TO make public the
terms of the document which binds
the willing worker to his taskmaster.
1t is stated here that in the Ma
tiOnal League some of the players
who received contracts calling for
shortening of their financial skirts
had been foremost in advocating the
Players Union.
Players may think that TO be the
case but it Is doubtful il there is
anything in il. The National League
may have known that the union was
in process of formation but its own
ers are also clever enough to know
where public sentiment would land if
they trimmed contracts for purposes
of retaliation.
The possible shift of Dugan TO sec
ond base and Ward to third base
would be one of the hest moves that
could be made by the Yankees. Ward
is a splendid thirc -bascman. Dugan
is likely 70 show more natural ability
TO fit mt second base. During the
latter part of last season the writer
often wondered why higgins did not
make the shift even though his critics
should denounce il as another in
stance of managerial inefficiencv.
Probably he was afraid that if he
lost the championship after doing
such thing he would be written
down n failure.

Wood alcohol to an amount Of

samples. One wine glassful of this

The main difference between wood
alcohol and organic alcohol is in the

former. Wood alcohol in it's weaker
percentages is likely to irritate the
kidneys and bladder, and as result
nephritis and cysletis are frequent
after wood alcohol poisoning
