CHICAGO, February ga kindly
midas of the gentler sex. with a flair
for finance, after years of seclusion in
cramped hotel rooms and eating In
cheap restaurants while giving thou
sands to charity, today at 10, is fight
ing to regain her health.
One of Chicago's wealthiest women
and prominent in society in the days
of the horse drawn street cars and gas
lights, Mrs. Ada Sawyer Garrett.
seriously i'll from malnutrition and
lack of care, was taken to a hospital
by friends made In recent years
through business affiliations.
The little old lady who inherited a
fortune and a love for making money
from her maternal grandfather, JUS
tin Butterfield. friend Of Daniel Web
ster. was known at her bank for her
shrewdness and ability in handling her
81. 0O0. 900 estate 1t was when she
failed to appear as usual one day that
her friends there found her in her
room, not 100 yards from bank.
Belle Half Century Ago.
Half a century ago she was known
as the belle of the North Side" liv-
ing in the mansion which she left
after the death 20 years ago of her
husband T. Morrow Garrett, an of
fetal of the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy Railroad.
One by one she d smissed her serv-
ants until she was alone in the family
home, and as she turned to res
taurants and hotels she chose the most
modest. Relatives said she preferred
automatic food shops. where she could
drop a couple of nickels and get a
cup of coffee and bit of food.
The social prestige of the family
dated from Justin Butterfield, who
was chosen, instead of the young Abra-
ham Lincoln, as Federal land COM
missioner OF northern Illinois. Her
grandfather was leader in politics
when appointed United States district
attorney in 1851. He defended Joseph
Smith, the Norman leader, who fought
extradition to Missouri on a charge of
conspiracy TO murder the governor of
that State.
Afraid of Automobiles.
Fearing automobiles, Mrs. Garrett
refused to ride in anything but street
cars, and as she grew older this be-
came more difficult. So she moved
into the business district to live, grad.
ually growing away from old friends
and relatives
in her business affairs. She cared
nothing for clothes, and money to her
was merely figures. Her attire was
shabby and her friends worried lest
she suffer from exposure. but her gifts
to charity were known to total as high
as $4,000 a month, a fact she always
tried to keep secret.
Mrs. Garrett talked to few persons
other than those in her bank. She
even refused to deal directly. with
brokers, forcing them to put their
propositions up to her bankers, who,
in turn, interviewed her. A few point
ed questions, a moment of thought
and her answer was simple Yes" or
No"
Followed Market Closely.
She followed improvements and ex-
pansions closely and was the first to
realize when any of her large holdings
were affected. Sundays were her days
of exploration and inspection, and each

hibition of the Chicago fight film, and
that the only thing they could do was
attempt to reach the persons respon-
sible for the actual bringing in of the
films from another state or from Mex
leo.
Gardner's attorneys tonight said
they could prove that Gardner was in
no way implicated in the actual i'm
portation of the films. The picture
now being shown in the Los Angeles
and Hollywood theatres, they said,
we're copies from a single negative
which had been brought in by per-
sons whose identity was not known.
Government attorneys agreed with
counsel that it was no vio-
lation of the federal law to show the
fight films made from the copied print
and that the entire situation had to
do only with the transportation Of the
original negative.

GIANTS BATTLE
ENDS AS FISHER
BROS. WIN POINT

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 90 (P) = A
fight in which a voice in the business
if not control of the Baldwin locomo-
tive works, was the big stake, came to
an apparent end today when directors
of the concern took steps to give the
Fisher brothers of Detroit representa-
ton in the directorate.
The board at a special meeting de-
cided to take the necessary steps to
increase its present membership of IL
to Is and invite Fred j. Fisher and
Clarence r. Biting to become mem
bers. No announcement was made as
to who would be the third additional
member, but it was believed here to-
night that Arthur w. Gutten, Chicago
grain operator, might be the selection.
The announcement of the result of
the boards action was made by Sam
uel M Vauclain, president of the COM
pany, who left for New York shortly
after the meeting of the board.
Vauclains statement said that
Messrs. Fisher and Biting would be-
come members of the board as soon as
the necessary legal steps could be tax
en-. This was taken to mean they
would become members after stock
holders formally authorize the in
crease in the directorate.
Entrance of Fisher brothers into the
locomotive works brings the Philadel-
phia company into closer relation with
General Motors corporation, it is be-
lieved. The Fisher brothers are allied
with the DuPontS of Wilmington, Del,
in this organization through the pur-
chase of the Fisher Body corporation
hv General Motors.

EXPERT SPECULATES ON Who
WILL Be HEROES OF WORLDS
SERIES IN CLASSIC OF 1921

NEW YORK, Sept 20 lPD--It
wouldn't be a. worlds series without
its heroes and so, with the baseball
classics start less than a week off,
the experts already are speculating
on where the laurel wreaths may go
this season.

Pirates, as now appears probable,

series. Lou Gehrig might snap out
of his home run stump ana outbanI

The Pirates have the Waner broth
ers, Pie Traynor and Ray Kremer,
also that hardy old campaigner, Joe
(Moon) Harris, ready to step out and
distinguish themselves. Hazen Cuyler,
hero of the 1925 Pirate triumph over
Washington, has been on the bench
and may not get a chance to re-
peat.
i If St. Louis should do the unex.
pected and break through to the
National league top, Grover Cleveland
Alexander would have a chance to
duplicate the pitching feats that made
him the outstanding figure of the
1926 worlds. series.

DEMPSEY DENIES
@ " | N G S62,5OO
TO TEDDY HAYS

NEW YORK, Sept, % CF) - Jack
Dempsey went through preliminary
skirmish in the legal ring today, when
he was examined in the matter of
$4,000 which Theodore (Teddy) P.
Hayes, says the ex-champion owes him
in unpaid salary.
Jack, more at ease than his attor-
neys, quietly denied that he had ever
employed Hayes either as trainer or
secretary, as claimed. HIS asserted that
Hayes, lacking education, would not
have been capable of serving him in
either capacity.
In reply to Hayes attorney Jack
stated that he never wrote line Of
the syndicated articles which appear
over his signature in several news
papers. He said hc rarely saw the
articles, perhaps not more than once
a year.
He described Hayes as a mere "camp
hanger-on to whom he had taken a
liking and whom he had paid various
odd sums from time to time in reward
for various services. He never had
employed Hayes regularly save as
chauffeur, he said for time after he
picked him up when he was working
as a $12 week property man on
lot in Hollywood.
He said he could not recall sending
Hayes to Salt Lake City during the
investigation of the fighters so-called
evasion of the draft during the war,
nor accompanying him at that time
to the San Pedro naval base, San
Francisco, nor other places referred
to by Hayes attorney.
Jack denied that he had broken
Hayes nose during training exhibi-
ton, and while he granted that Hayes
was with him while he trained Tor
Miske, Brennan and Carpenter, he
asserted that neither Hayes nor any
one else had taken charge of his con-
ditioning as he took charge of himself
and trusted no one else.
Shown kilograms purporting to have
been sent by him to Hayes directing
Hayes to transact loans OF $150,000
and 100000, Jack said he could not
remember sending them, but thought
they might have been sent by Jack
Kearns, his former manager.
The examination concluded with no
date set for trial.

Stiff Work.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO. Aug. 81, - Another
strenuous afternoon of boxing was
in prospect for Jack Dempsey to-
day following the decision of his
manager, Leo Flynn. that the for
mer heavyweight champion needs
a lot of fighting" to prepare him
for his attempted comeback against
Gene Tunney.
Dempsey was possessor Of a black
eye today, a mark of battle for
which ne could not fix responsibility
because his sparing partners came
and went so rapidly Friday.
Mccain Scores
He had an easy time in two
rounds with Benny Kruger, German
heavyweight, but Jack AfcCann of
st. Paul was more difficult. Nc
CAMS straight left and right cross
landed with effect.
K. o. Christner succeeded Nc
Cam and the Akron fighter was
battered. Dempsey concentrated on
Christner's head, smashing with
both hands.
Dempsey's principal weakness is
believed to be inability TO shoot for
the face and his handlers believe
he can overcome it only by prac-
ticing on his sparring partners.
Dempsey also must remove weight
about ten pounds of the 203 ne is
now carrying. He painted hard dur
ing the workout Friday and did not
appear to be standing the exertidl
as he should.

Kansas CITY
Raps Toledo
Before
Sheehan Puts Blues Near.
Top-Pennapt Race Be-
comes Scramble.

There is plenty of excitement in
Kansas City, Milwaukee and Toledo
these days. Toledo fans are on the
point of collapse, near the breaking
point, as their Hens falter and
Blues and Brewers creep up.
Rooters in Kansas City and Mil
waukee are bowling gleefully and
the turnstiles are singing as the
crowds pour through.
Seventeen thousand fans turned
out in Kawtown Friday to see Tom
Sheehan pitch his twenty-first vic
tory of the year and bring the Blues
within less than one-half game of
the American Association lead. The
Hens we're the victims and the score
5 to l. Tom allowed the Toledo
FASTENERS only four hits.
The Brewers annexed close one
from the Senators at Milwaukee
and kept in the close pennant fight.
The weekend may see big shift
among the top three clubs. .
Toledo has been tossing money,
right and left in big salaries trying
to protect its lead, but the Blues
and Brewers refuse to give ground
and all indications point to a wild
scramble for the flag all the way to
the finish OF the schedule.
