Leading druggists in larger

Average Man Thinks
He Won't Die,
Says Banker

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. s.
''The greatest difficulty is not
getting money, but disposing of
it" declared Arthur Young,
Cleveland banker, addressing q
local audience. He asserted that
@the average man believes he is
the one exception to the in
evitable law of death.
Ownership of property ceases
at death. The right Of disposal
goes by law to the State; but
the State makes q concession by
granting the right to make a
win which, once drawn, is in
yiolable."

PIECE OF TAPE
 CAUSED TROUBLE
Zachary Once Made Great Hub,
 bub in American League
tBy NEA Scr,icc)

Washington, Dee. l7.--Is it per- missille for ball player. particu- arly a pitcher. to place a piece of adhesive tape on one of his pitching fingers.
 While not generally known, that seemingly trivial question caused much confusion in the home stretch of the American league race last season.
 Soulhpaw Zachary of the Wash ington club throws knucklo ball that is hard on the cuticle of the second finger Of his pitching hand.
 Al some time in every game he pitches, the finger becomes very sore. In a certain game last season Zachary applied a piece of adhesive tape to stop the flow of blood
 In that game Zachary discovered that the addition of the adhesive tape, which made is possible for him 10 get a iirmcr hold on the ball. caused his knuckler to take more deceptive break
 From then on adhesive tape be- came a part of Zachary's pitching paraphernalia.
 Ty Cobb was the first 10 discover the use of the tape by Zachary. Prior 10 the start of the game he com- pained 10 the umpircs that it was against the rules. The umpires up- held the contention after ascertain ing Zachary's finger was uninjured.
 Detroit then proceeded 10 knock Zachary out of the box in the first inning, after the umpres had com- peIled him to remove the tape.
 President Johnson ruled that Zachary had no right to use the tape in an effort to get a better break, on the ball, chasing it as trick pitching.
 Whereupon Clarke Griffith, up to every angle of the game, Insisted that if pitcher had a sore finger, there was nothing in the rules to prevent him from protecting the in- jury with adhesive tape. Also that 1t would be possible 10 always have the finger slightly sore, if so desired
 The fact that Zachary continued 10 pitch as effectively without the use of the tape, keeping up the fine work in the world series is probably the one thing that kept trouble from brewing.
 However. for time, little strip Of adhesive tape had the American league on the verge of another up heaval.

MIKE McNALLY, SUBSTITUTE, HAS 4 WONDERFUL RECORD
Has Been Ten Years in Big Show and Most of Time With a Championship Club.
By The A,soclnted Press.

Ny The Associated Press.
 New York, Dec. 17,--M. J. (Mikc) McNally remains an understudy Il substitute, despite ton years of sery- ice in the ior leagues, for the most part with world champion teams. Few men in the national game can ever approach the record of this player, who, banded about by winter trades, has again joined team of titlists, this time in Washington.
 McNallys presence in the majors was noted in 1915 ps member of the Boston Red Sox, He was an infielder a very fast man on the bases and an exceptionally good fielder. His weakness was hitting.
 At that time such well known performers as Larry Gardner. Heinie Wagner, Everett Scott and Jack Barry made their homes in the Metropolis of the northwest and played the Red Sox infeld. Later came Dave Shean, Del Pratt and Oscar Witt Mike remained a sub- stitute while the Red Sox captured a brace of world pennants under Bill Carrigan.
 In this first season, McNally par ticipated In 23 games, batted for .l5l and flelded for .S9l, an un- promising record. The next year he asw service in S7 contests, batted 20 points better and gained 73 points in fielding. He was doing a little better. The year 1917 saw him reach the 300 class as a hitter, his name appearing in IS box scores. With these figures left behind, a rather unimprcssive showing, he went to war and the official records of 1918 fail to show his name.
 When he returned the Red Sox found room for him and he had some part in 33 games In 1919. hit ting for .2G2. His longest season came the next year when he partici-

 PEACE OVERTURES
Efforts Being Made to Reconcile
 the Two

Chicago, Dec. 17.-Peace between Ban Johnson, president Of the American league, and Kenesaw NJ. landls, commissioner Of baseball. was the objective Of the meeting here today of club owners and of ilcals of the American and National leagues postponed q week ago iS New York
 First efforts 10 settle the differ enccs between the commissioner and the junior league head were in the hands of the American peace com mittee composed of Colonel Jake 'Ruppert of the New York Yankees, F, B. Barnard. president Of the Cleveland Indians, and President Thomas Shibe of Philadelphia. They planned 10 confer with Commission CT Landis before the opening of the joint session.
 The vote of confidence in Landis and resolutions upholding his ad- ministratlon, adopted al New York. were scheduled for presentation at the session.
 Up 10 the time the session opened there was no indication from either Landis or Johnson what action might be expected from either. There was a discounted belief that the commissioner might resign if Johnson remained as president of the American league, l. was also considered that a demand for John sons resignation might be made by the National league, which was rC- ported against any reconciliation moves. Others believed opposition would be strong 10 any effort to oust Johnson. whose contract has more than five years 10 run.
 Prospects that the differences would he threshcd out on the floor Of the session appeared likely with the announcement of prsident John- son that he would he present when the commissioner was expected to make some interesting remarks 10 the club owners,
