REV. {. S. UFFORD DIES.

ROCKLAND, Me, December 10 Dr.
Rev. Edward s. Ufford, who composed
the hymn Throw Out the Life Line"

the age of 70.
On a world tour a few years ago he
heard sung in a score of languages this
hymn, the four stanzaS of which, while
a young evangelistic preacher, he was
inspired to write in less than half an
hour while conducting services in the
village square at Westwood, Mass.

Children like the rich, fruity taste
of California Fig Syrup, and you can

it, because it is purely vegetable. For
over 80 years leading physicians have
recommended it, and its overwhelming
sales record of over four million bot

Jockey Earl Sande May
Return to Riding Again

Earl Sande, once Americas great
est jockey, may attempt a comeback
this year. Reports from Maryland say
that Sande is training strenuously in
an effort TO cut down the weight that
forced him to announce his retire
ment last summer According to these
reports, Sande will ride in the Coff-
roth handicap, possibly for Clifford A.
Cochran, provided his battle against
weight is successful.
Unable 70 endure the daily torture
of making weight, Sande quit the
saddle at the close of the fall meet
ing at BeimOnt last season. He trained
his own small stable and campaigned
with more or less success at Aqueduct,
Jamaica, Pimlico and Bowie. How
ever, he had no more than announced
his retirement and begun his work
as trainer than he began to lose
weight. He dropped ten pounds in
short order and now believes that he
can return 70 the saddle without much
difficulty.

Good Luck Has Followed
Infelder Mike GaZella

Good college baseball players can
not be blamed for taking whirl at
the professional game when one con-
siders the luck which has followed
Mike Gazella, utility infielder. recently
released by the Yankees to the New
ark club of the International league.
Gazella was a brilliant baseball and
football star at Lafayette college six
or seven years ago. He probably was
a better performer on the gridiron
than on the diamond, for he was
given all-American nominations by
several critics.
When he was graduated IN 1923 he
was signed by the Yankees and then
his good luck began. Gazella sat on
the bench nearly all of that season,
getting into the game once in a while
when some infelder was injured. The
Yankees won the pennant and Gael
la was voted part of share of the
world series money. He appealed to
Judge Landis and the latter upheld
GazelIa in his claim that he should
receive q full share. This was about
$4,000.
Twice after that GaZeIla was sent
20 the minors for seasoning and both
seasons the Yankees failed to win the
pennant. He was with New York in
three other pennant years. warming
the bench most of the time, but col
lecting full world series share each
time the Yankees won. 1t is estimated
that his four years with the Yankees
have netted him something like
$4,000.
