Why Helen Returned Dough
Is Deep MYSTERY to Ross.

The $1,000. she points out. were
designed to take her to England, feed
her through the Wimbledon tourna-
ment. bring her home again. and keep
her stocked and lodged throughout our
own national championships. in which
latter carnival she would have rep
resented the chief cash asset and
principal drawing-card.
Because she found herself unable
to make the date she refunded her sal
ary. That argues pretty definitely that
the check covered her work for the
full year
Naturally, even on starvation wages,
an amateur tennis player manages to
lay by a dollar here and four bits
there. Take Wimbledon, for instance.
The amount of tea that is served in
and around Wimbledon to tennis play
ers by the social leaders and other
fauna of Great Britain, free of charge,
is enough to turn your hair white,
especially if you are rye-and-water
drinker yourself, knowing tea for what
1t Is, carrier of the dreaded drug
tannln.
Have you ever seen a tea drink
er's liver? However, that is neither
here nor there. Enough tea (plus
cakes, scones. crumpets and similar
sucker hait) is dealt off the bottom
of the deck at Wimbledon to fill the
Bay of Fundy at low tide A tennis
player gets sufficient tea and trim
mings to keep him or her alive,
though it might be called a living
death.
Then. in certain tournament towns,
the player may De boarded free by
friends or relatives, or by sponsors
of local tennis activities. AS I say,
the amateur can lay by nickel
now and then. He can live.
But what kind of life is it? And
what kind of business is it where
the leading lady amateur of her day
and age, the box Office magnet and
belle of the ball for nigh onto Is
years, gets niggardly Sl,309.45 for a
full years work?
That's one point. The second point
and I admit that it bothers Mr..
Barney Ross and his colleagues even
more than the first one-is, why in the
blank blank blank did she give the
money back?

SKINS GET FIRST
[AMPL|GHT DRILL
Session Called Tonight at

By BILL DISMER. Jr.

Another final" reprieve to five
Washington Redskin rockies who are
slated to be released was given by
Coach Ray Flaherty this morning. AS
he stepped off sleeper from Phila-
delphia, where he last night secuted
the Eagles as they beat the Eastern

nouncement of the five to 60 would be
made until after this afternoons

After today's cut, 81 will remain on
the squad which has been working out
at Ballston since August 10 and all
will be taken to Chicago. After the
All-Star games, however, three more
will be dropped as the Skins take on
Andy Farkas in Chicago and Roy
Young in Texas for a total of 80
players. No more than 30 may be
under contract, according to National
League rules.
Tonight the Skins will take their
first workout of the season under
lights in preliminary preparation for
their games with the College and
Texas All-Stars on August 81 and
September S, both OF which will be
played at night. Because Of this eve

Tennis Body Thought Lovish
But Professionals Pow More.

It all boils down to truth that
your correspondent has been ham
mering at for long while-the United
States Lawn Tennis Association pays
bum wages. SWeatshop wages. when
you come right down to it. Legend
has painted the U. S. l.. T. A. as a
lavish employer, but the fact is the
professionals pay better money.
Look at the amount of labor trouble
in amateur tennis lately. Look at
the unrest. The salary of Don Bulge
and Gene Mako was so low last
winter that the boys staged a two
hour strike in New Zealand and
gouged the New Zealand officials for
an extra so bucks. They could not
buy coffee and sinkers on what the
U. S. l.. T. A. was paying them.
Robert L. "How'm I Doing" Riggs,
the No. 2 singles player of the United
States. has had to speak sharply sew
eral times to his employers about
back pay and cut-throat wage scales.
That is to say, Riggs financial Sec
retary has had to speak sharply.
Riggs himself does not deal directly
with the association. He cashes his
checks and keeps to himself.
In view of the background-the
No. man striking for coffee money
and the Nc man complaining
about back pay-it is really not sur
prising to learn that the No. l woman
earns a paltry s13o945 a year-cigar-
cite dough, as the boys would say.
There's no doubt whatever that
this sum represents her full years
salary-or expenses as the phrase
goes. Mrs Moody made that very
clear in her brief and courteous note
to the U. S. L. T. A, severing busi-
ness relations with the firm for the
time being.

Auto Manufacturers

Association Predicts
Increase of Around
Third Over 1888
By the Associated Press,

DETROIT, Dec. 31.-The Auto
mobile Manufacturers Association,
noting rapid rise" in automobile
buying during the fall of 1898, pre-
dicted last night that automobile
production In 1899 would approach
the 3,500,000 unit mark, or approxi-
mately one-third more than were
manufactured this year.
The A. M. A. is composed of all
major automobile manufacturers
except the Ford Motor Co.
The association set production for
the calendar year of 1888 in the
United States and Canada at ap-
proximately 2,635, 900 passenger cars
and trucks, or Al per cent below
1887, rejecting the full effect of the
1878 depression"
The wholesale value of the 1898
output was estimated at S1,616,OO0,-
900, which included 2,1lOO00 pas
senger cars valued at 81 ,283 ,O0O, 900
ana $4,000 trucks at a wholesale
value of 1888 100000.
Parts, accessories, service equip
ment and replacements of parts and
tires were manufactured to an esti-
mated value of $980,O0O,OO0 during
the year, the association reported.
Thus raising the total value of new
vehicles, tributary products and
manufactured requirements for 1898
to $2,596 100000, or Al per cent below
1887.
The association said $4,000 motor
vehicles were sold abroad during the
year which, with tires and parts
exported from the United States
and Canada, were valued at $780,
100000.
World registration of motor We
hicles was set at 42,9OOOO0, of which
68 per cent were registered in the
United States OF the latter total,
25,150,000 were passenger cars and
4,250,000 were commercial vehicles.

Chicago Grain
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Dec. 31.-Trading
in the wheat market was at a
standstill much of the time today.
but year end adjustment of accounts
found the pit bare of sellers, which
gave prices an upward trend.
Early gains amounted to as much
as as cents. with the market near
its best level in three months, but
the buying subsided later.
Expectation of revival of export
and flour business after the holidays
tended to discourage selling. Unfav-
orable crop conditions southwest
and the possibility that the market
would continue to have underlying
support through removal of hedges
on both wheat and flour business
also tended to restrict selling in
terests.
Liverpool and Buenos Aires were
closed today and this eliminated a
certain type of trading which nor
mally is gtided by the action of
these markets.
Hot weather in Argentina and
the absence of moisture relief for
the corn crop helped steady corn
prices here. Export sales of almost
100000 bushels the past few days
during the holiday season when
demand usually is quiet indicated
corn was priced attractively to the
importer.

Exchange 1ightens Rules
On Handling Of Proxies
By the Associated Pres.

B! the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-The New
York Stock Exchange sought today
to stimulate the interest of stock
holders in corporate affairs by
Tightening its rules governing the
handling of proxies for votes in
company meetings.
Under the revision of proxy regu-
lations, brokers must consult their
customers wishes before acting on
requests for authority to exercise
shareholders voting privileges at
corporate. meetings.
Brokerage houses hold, directly
or indirectly for customers large
amounts of stock, sometimes amount
ing to thousands of shares in single
corporation.
The Committee on Stock List, in
a letter to member firms, outlined
the machinery for informing stock
holders of proxy solicitations and
the issues involved.
If the share owners ignore the
proxy communications, brokers then
may proceed on their own unless a
controversy or contest for power is
involved.
