RECORD HELD
BY TIGER
COACH

Ty Cobb and Harry HeiImann are
not the only Tigers who are proud
holders Of worlds records. One of
the newest Tigers Of the lot has a
world record that doubtless will
never be equaled. The record has
stood for sixteen years.
1t is Otto williams, the new
coach, who won this distinction
away back in 1908, when he was
playing second base for indianapolis.
That year he accepted 1046 chances
IN 1855 games. In doing this Otto
perpetrated thirty errors.
That this performance can never
again be equaled IL due to the fact
tnat livelier ball is now being
used and more hits go to the out.
tleid, giving infielders fewer oppor-
tunities to get into the play. In
recent years 1t has been almost
unheard of for a second baseman
to have as many as 900 chances.
Ty Cobb could scarcely credit the
ngures until an old record book
was dug UP to verify them. .

SUE DIRECTORS
S150,000 Asked From
WeidIey Motors officers.

Seventy-six holders of preferred
stock in the defunct Weidley Motors
Company, recently sold at receiver
ship sale for $213000. today filed
suit in Superior Court for s150,000
damages against three former direc-
tors, alleging a scheme to defraud
the stockholders. Defendants are
Edward p. Showers, Bloomington,
Ind. OF the Showers Furniture
Company; William Umphrey and
William H. Fletcher. The latter
was receiver for Circuit Court for
the company.
Plaintiffs allege the three persuad-
ed the stockholders to consent to is
suance Of 100000 bonds which
should be first lien on the company's
assets Of 100000, and then bought
up large numbers OF the bonds them
selves. The company was then Sc
cretly placed in receivership by the
defendants, they charge. The direc-
tors had conspired to hurt the COM
pan credit by cancelling contracts,
according to the plaintiff. The de-
PENDANTS bought the assets in at re-
ceiver's sale, they charge, using
pay for that much of the bid. The

THE DOLLINCS CHARTERS
BY ED JACKSON

There are charters of various
kinds that may be issued, or,
rather, there may be permission
granted corporations or associa- =.
tions to transact business in the
State Of Indiana, without any
special restriction or provision
for the manner in which their
business may be conducted in be-
half of those interested after:
wards in the securities that may
be sold by the company in ques-
tion.
The R. L. Dollings Company
is an exception to the associa-
tions or corporations that come
into the State Of Indiana and ask
permission to do business with
our people. And what holds
good here holds good in other
states, for the requirements are
the same in regard to the issuing
of charters
Let me digress long enough
here to say that there has been
much said in Indiana about
"blue sky" When we speak Of
what is known as "blue-sky
laws" we understand that those
are laws that should be enacted
in Indiana by which men may be
governed who associate them
selves together for the purpose
of soliciting charters and propos-
ing to sell securities that are un-
reliable, these securities being
represented as valuable and
bringing great returns, and then
turn out to be absolutely worth
less and the purchasers receive
no dividends.
If all associations and all cor
poratiOns that ask permission to
do business in Indiana were as
careful about the charter provi-
siOns as The Dollings Company
we would have no necessity in
Indiana or in any State for blue
sky laws. In the Dollings char
ters there are inserted all the
safeguards possible so that GUS
toners are secured in their in
vestments. In other words, pro.
visions are placed in the charter
in order that there may not be
any question Of the management
afterwards.
