 z When Ruth quit pitching, for the outneld, he was the best southpaw In the American league. Jack Bent ley Is rated one of the best left handlers in the National at present. Both are proteges of Dunn.

 Groves cost Dunn $S500. He sold him to Mack for c reported price Of $100.600--a very fair profit.

SELLS HIS BLOOD
Echstein, Brown Athletic Star, Does This to Help Defray His College Expenses.

This to Help Defray His College Expenses.
 Providence, R. l., Nov. it, Adolph w. Eckstein, Brown univer- sity's all-eastern center and out standing football player, who will captain the wrestling team during the coming season, has given two pints of blood for transfusion at different times, this fall, in order to help defray tuition costs, it was learned today. The price paid by the city hospital for the acceptable type of blood Is $50 a pint, so that Eek stein was able to meet one-third of his tuition.
 This fall was not the first time that the player has parted with blood for transfusion purposes, for last year on two occasions he gave three pints, while two other Brown football players, Freddie Sweet and Tom Johnson, both Pennsylvania boys, each contributed q pint. AL though the resistance of the body is temporarily lowered after the loss of blood. the fluid is regained after IS to A hours, it Is claimed, while three days approximately are re- qdired before the corpuscles are re- placed by new ones.
 Eckstein, senior, was elected three weeks ago president of his class. Three years ago he was light heavyweight wrestling champion of New England, but failed last year in the finals to regain his title. .,

LOCKETT RESIDENCE
BURNED YESTERDAY

The suburban residence of Mrs. III.
c. Lockett was destroyed by fire yes
terday forenoon.
This handsome country home was
located northwest of Flagstaff on the
Fort Valley road.
The fire department was called out
and made a fast run to the blaze, but
nothing could have been done to save
the building even had there been suf-
ficient water, which there was not,
the pipe connecting the place with
the city water system being of only
three quarter inch diameter.
"A few chairs and a drawing table
were about all of the lot of valuable
furniture that was saved.
An old colored man was caretaker
for the place, Mrs. Lockett being In
Phoenix, where she invariably spends
the winters. The caretaker sent in
the alarm. He said the blaze started
from an overheated stove.
So far as known there was no in
surance on either building or con-
tents, the value of which was some
where between seven and ten thou
sand dollars.
