She Sure Was Dead

A produce dealer shipping limbur-
ger cheese had trouble getting his
product to the field without break
age.
Heavy tools and other emergency
equipment rushed by express were Of
ten placed on his crates IN the bag
gage car, crushing them.
Finally, in desperation, he hit upon
the novel idea of shipping his cheese
in coffins, figuring that these would
be treated with respect.
When the train stopped he went up
ahead to the baggage ear to see how
his scheme was working.
is it a near relative?" asked the
express messenger alphabetically.
Eyes, it's my mother-in-law," said
the cheese merchant sadly.
The express messenger wiped his
eyes while his nose twitched.
WELL" he said slowly, you have
one consolation She sure is dead, all
right"

Q.-S. P. n asks: How can | use
wavemeter to calibrate a receiving
set?"
Ans.-If the wavemeter has buzz
ger or an oscillator in it, set the
wavemeter to dial the desired wave
length and start the buzzer going.
Then tune in on the buzzer with your
receiver until the sound is the loudest.
1t may be necessary to move the
wavemeter away from the receiver to
allow the set to tune sharply enough
to get ar. accurate celebration.

"a. J. L. asks: What is the
trouble when the tubes refuse to light
up and the A battery shows a full
CHARGE"
Ans.-First examine the connec-
tions to the A battery, making sure
that the terminals as well as the ends
of the connecting wires are perfectly
clean and tight. Next, test at the
binding posts of the set by shorting
them for an instant with a piece of
light copper wire If you can get a
spark from this test you will know
that the A current is getting that far
OK. Next trace up each wire from the
A binding posts through the rheostats
to the tube sockets, looking for loose
connections. Finally, remove each tube
from its socket and clean the prongs
thoroughly with a piece of fine sand
paper. The trouble will be found
somewhere along the foregoing path.

DEMPSEY is FACING
OPERATION ON SPINE
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Los ANGELES, March 14--Dr.
Warren Clark, personal physician to
Jack Dempsey, today said an oyer
alton, intended to correct an inAec-
ton at the base of the former heavy
weight champions spine, was being
considered following a recent consul
tation.
Although DR.. Clark declined I'd
specify the nature of the proposed
operation, he said a statement would
be made upon Dempsey's return from
San Diego.
Dempsey suffered an infection OF a
number of lower vertebrae as a result
of a heavy fall during one OF his fights
about six years ago. This is believed
to have been responsible for several
outbreaks of blood poisoning during
the last year. Recently he underwent
operations to prevent the spread of
poisoning in his left hand and arm.
Since Dempsey's recovery from the
latest outbreak he has submitted to
examinations by a number of physi-
clans and specialists in an attempt to
determine the cause Of the trouble.
The former champion and his wife,
Estelle Taylor, are expected to re-
turn today from San Diego, where
they Went to attend Sundays horse
races at Tia Juana, Mexico.

NEW YORK, March 14.-The value
of Major League base ball clubs is
$50 900, in the opinion of Col.
Jacob Rupert, owner of the New
York Yankees.
Golf was supposed to have taken
fans away from the ball parks" he
said, ''yet / think in reality golf has
increased interest in base ball. / sup
pose you might call it the sporting
the athletic complex.
THE American idea used to be to
work early and late. The business
man used to start his tasks at 8 am,
or earlier and quit at 6. Now he
starts at 8 In the morning and quits
earlier in the afternoon"
With Col. T. l.. Huston, Rupert
bought the Yankees for $3.50 900 in
1915, when the club was by no means
the lowest quoted on the base ball
exchange. The value of none of the
seven organizations in the American
League at that time was over 81 ,000,-
600, he thought The National League
values were slightly higher
Now the American League clubs are
worth a total of SIS, 5000, 900, Rupert
said, and the National League has the
same value. Babe Ruth alone will
represent an investment of $500 900
by the Yankee management when he
has completed his three.year contract
calling for annual pay of $40, 900. The
Ruth figure included purchase price
and salary payments, he said.
Base ball has attracted a better
class of players" Rupert says,

BUCK WEAVER'S PLEA
REJECTED BY lands

CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 14.-Base
ball scandals, once closed, must stay
that way, Commissioner Lands has
ruled in refusing the application of
Buck Weaver, former Chicago third
baseman, for reinstatement.
Weaver was one of the seven White
Sox fired from base ball forever for
the 1919 crooked world series and to-
day he had letter from the commits
sioner advising him that the decision
Of four years ago against him would
not be reviewed.
"You testified" the commissioner
wrote Weaver. that Eddie Cicotte,
your teams best pitcher, approached
you on the proposition of fixing the
Q919) world series, and you knew your
club officials were seeking to ascer-
tain the facts, but you kept still"
Weaver was the pet of the team in
1919 and perhaps more than any other
player the idol of Chicago's South
Side, where he still lives.
He said he expected to confer with
his lawyer today to draw up a reply
to the commissioner, taking exception
to one Of Lands statements, which
he declared was not true.

been able to get a piece of world series
money. They rather laugh at some of
the teams that have got 1t. Now, back
of this is O. reason, and that reason Is
none other than Cobb. The players
appreciate his worth as a ball player
even more than do outsiders, and they
think a lot of him, but they don't be-
Iieve he ever would have won the pen
nant, which was the height of his am
bition.
Many Players Sought Shift.
1t is limited that there We're players
on the Detroit team who went to the
owner of the club and asked to be
sent elsewhere because their mental
adjustment was worse than q fiddle
with three broken strings. They
wanted to be released because. they
couldn't stand Cobb's nagging. The
hint had pay dirt under 1t. There
were SO many such players that 1t is
astonishing. The men had been
nagged to distraction. They could
not argue with Cobb because they
knew they would get the worst of 1t,
but with his impetuous manner and
dictatorial method, and his why
didn't you do this and why didn't you
do that?" he had them all unstrung.
The players talk it out now. They
mentioned it in whispers in 1925 and
in 1926, but now they reopen with 1t
and the unusual thing is that they
don't hold anything against Cobb.
They say 1t is his disposition.
All of this and all else that had to
do with the Detroit Club, Moriarty has
tried to Danish. He wants the young
men to begin as If they had never
heard in the past that Detroit Is a
n xxyfa hut NJ
That is what the bob-fans and bobbed
fans have been saying about Detroit
for three or four years.
Moriarty wants the players to trot
along with him and note from time
to time by the wayside what he has to
tell them about ways that are fine and
tricks about the other fellows that are
pretty punk when you know all about
them.
The team is rushing to his support
with a unanimity that is interesting.

~ AN ANTONIO, Tex. March IA
Every little thing that might
have been heritage of this
base ball club is to be forgot
ten." said George Moriarty. who
now plies the salve paddle to the De-
troits.
"I don't mean to say that the play
ers have been instructed poorly, or
that they may not have been told
everything about base ball, but what
has been taboo in the past, or what
may have been base ball gospel to
them before, has nothing to do with
the Detroit club in 1927"
This observation today by the
Tigers new manager didn't exactly
indicate a case of a new broom trying
to sweep clean, but did indicate a new
broom making little path of its own
to success. For the more you come
into contact with Moriarty the more
you appreciate the fact that he is a.
man of keen observation, who has
been using his mental binoculars be-
hind the bat and on the bases as an
umpire for a long time. He has stored
away observations on pitchers and on
players throughout the league and
now is in position to make use of
them.
Ty's Ideas Are JunlSed.
The Detroit players have been
schooled in certain ideas of Ty Cobb,
but Moriarty has junked Tvs ideas.
He doesn't want them hanging around
the place. not because he doesn't agree
with Ty in any respect, but because he
wants his ball players to play ball his
way. If they attempted to play ball
Cobb's way, the Detroits would stay
back where they have been for SO
long, and they are tired Of being there.
No other club in this broad United
States is of the particular disposition
OF Detroit. Here are a lot of young
ball players, and some not so young,
who think they are as good as any
team in the American League. For
three or four years they have been
chatting because they have not won.
Great batters on the team for the life
of them can't see why they have not
