H. Heilmann Beats Babe With Bat And With Sales Talk


 NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-Babe Ruth today took out a $50 900 life insurance policy with his greatest American league rival for batting honors, Harry Heilmann. of the Detroit Tigers, who is an insur- ance agent during the off season. Heilmanu witnessed the triumph of the Yankees in the last game of the worlds series with the Giants yesterday. and talked busi- ness with the Babe today soon after the big slugger received his part of the winners share in the series. The policy is made out in favor of Mrs. Ruth and Baby Dorothy.
 Heilmann and Ruth are the keenest of rivals on the diamond, the former winning out by a nar- row margin this year in the race for hitting supremacy, but also warm friends.

 RAIN THREATENS M JUNIOR SERIES

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Oct 16.--Low- ering clouds and a forecast of rain made it seem extremely unlikely tC- night that the fourth game of the junior worlds series between the Kansas City team of the American association and the Baltimore Inter- national league champions would be played tomorrow afternoon. Officials of the clubs asserted tonight that the game would be played if nc more rain should fall before tomorrow aft ernoon.
 If the game should be played to- morrow the teams will depart tomor- row night for Baltimore to conclude the series.
 The fourth game was postponed for the second time today on account of the sloppy condition of the diamond.
 The Landis contract still has few years to run. The judge is secure. His aggregate pay for the terms of his agreement is enough to make him rich.
 This is fortunate for the judge. Because when the time comes for re- newal, it is very likely that baseball will decide that czar is an eXpen- sive trapping, a mere luxury best done without.
 Then it will be: Good evening, judge" ........

PEGLER'S PEGS
IN REVERSE GEAR

Senor Luis Angel Firpo and all other amusement magnates in the large way of business, will be much concerned over the discovery of the reverse gear in human nature by a young Scottish scientist, Captain Pape. The ingenious captain re- gently told the entrants in a scien- dific field day at Liverpool that he had discovered an old but hitherto Sunknown device in the human brain self backward into the past and to participate in tumultuous events have gone before.
 '"This is no phantam panorama" " the captain said, nor any mere dream. I mean that persons exer- cising this power, which is inherent in every human brain, may actually throb to the living spectacle, may feel the concussions of events long past"
 To a Firpc who holds himself at s25 a peek from the public, this will be alarming news indeed. It will mean that you and I will sit at home and skim the crooks in the pantry on the nights when Luis Angelo light. We will absent ourselves from the world series. We will perch before the drug store soda fountain, chatting lightly of this and that while Harvard plays Princeton. And then, the instant that these high priced events assume the past tense we will kick our mental clutch ped al-, shift the gears into reverse and spin backward to the ringside, the field boxes CT the side lines to en- Joy the expensive spectacles without cost or effort.
 Tho discovery has several aspects of boon to mankind. Economy i- the amusement budget is perhaps the ftricrt of the possibilities which it ptQMises but there are others just a littIe less desirable. Never again need We s.t through slow fight CT a ieosided game of ball.

FINLEY AND PULLMAN FIGHT TO DRAW IN IO-ROUND BOUT

slugger looked weak. 1t was a nip and-tuck battle and could have been called nothing but draw but Till man was lucky scrapper to get 1t for Finley had very nearly enough margin to win the bout.
 lightening-like left and ter rifle right was 1immy's best weapon while the St. Paul battler relied on left and occasionally on a one two wallop. Findley landed more heaYey blows than Tillmand once caught him off his guard aud slammed him into the ropes. Till man showed cooler head and better science than Finley.
 In the preliminaries Max Scholder and Kid Pacely staged q terrific slugging bout. for q threeround draw. Both men are wrestlers and went into the ring with gloves to set tie grudge that they were unable to satisfy on the mat. However. the points were inotted at the end of the bout so after all it is still ] 5O-50 affair. Both wrestlers landed some terrific lieks during the bout although neither showed much science.
 Kid Lott threw Newman in the wrestling bout. Spark Plug won a four-round decision from Larry Brod rick, while Hooper slugged Kid Adams until his seconds threw in the towel at the end of the second round.

Canary Birds In Singing Contest
 88S ooS. Annual Operatic Event Of Birddom Planned In Chicago

owners claim. Cages of the foreign singers are being kept covered in a dark room until time for their first stage appearance on Tuesday. Dark ness keeps them silent, and thus avoids construction of bad throats. London Prince, the British champion of this year, is given special care, for he Is one of the favorites for the grand championship If he keeps quiet until the judges call for his number on the program, it is believed all will be well, but if London Prince becomes hoarse or get the dry heaves it will be all off, for he simply can't go the bootleg stuff they sell in Chicago.

 Besides individual awards. there are prizes for the best quartets. Each bird will run through the scales and then jump into it's favorite selections. while judges score it on all tones hollow roll, bass. water giuke. flute notes, Roller. bell roll and all the rest.

St. Paul Fighter Barely Able
 To Battle On Even Terms With Louisville SIugger At Birmingham Athletic Club

After considerable controversy as to the purse Johnnie Tillman of St. Paul. climbed through the ropes at the B. A. C. Monday night. came out with a bare draw with Jimmy Fin ley of Louisville. Tiliman would not go in for a purse less than $500, and as indictment weather broke into the proceedings no such purse was avail able. Matchmaker Dave Evans eX- plained the situation to the fans and stated that to get the $500 purse it would require $to0 more than gate receipts.
 It was then that Dan Dimicll broke into the show. Evans announced that a collection would be taken for the remainder of the purse and Dmick climbed through the ropes and after a very short and emphatic speech peeled off three $5 bills and asked the crowd to loosen up and throw their donations into the ring over s125 was gotten up in five min utes
 President H. L. Cobbs thanked the fans warmly for their support and stated that the fight would go on and the club would stand for the rest of the purse
 However. it proved that Tillman had little more than a reputation and nothing more than Finley. On the infightine and Slugging Jimmy was best but when Tillman crowded Fin ley into the ropes the Louisville
