more completely than did JACK DEAP.

that JOHN HENRY was the best available

TERPS AND Gu.
FACE TOMORROW
BY HOWARD JACOBS

One of the strongest boxing
teams to represent Maryland Uni
versity will be on the firing line
tomorrow night when the Terps
engage the Clouting Cardinals of
Catholic University in the out
standing college mitt session of
the current campaign at College
Park.
Coach Harvey "Heinie" Miller Sc.
lected his starting lineup this
morning following the final hard
workout yesterday. The team is
as follows:
120-pound-George Dorr.
127-pound-Bob Bradley.
135-pound-Ben AIperStein,
145-pound-Nathan ASkin.
155-pound-Frank Cronin.
165-pound-Newton Cox.
175-pound-Bob Lodge.
Heavyweight-Herman Raisin.
The above mentioned eight
leather pusherS are all regarded
worthy performers, with the
lighter boys considered to have
an edge on their Brookland op-
ponentS. The heavier classes
from the 155-pound division up
is where the Cardinals shine, and
despite the i'll fate that has cost
Coach Eddie LaFond two of his
battlers, the match looms as a
tosSup.
LaFond has pressedN Ricardo
Fernandez, a Junior, into action
to take Dave Bernstein's place in
the 120-pound class. The inter.
collegiate champion was declared
ineligible the other day, and his
replacement, Tony MesSuri, from
the 127-pound division, suffered
a broken nose, thus leaving a big
gap in the two most vital spots.
LaFond is working on q couple of
newcomers to fill the 127.pound
spot.
The rest of the team will line up
as follows:
135-pound-Nestor Martinez.
145-pound-William Gearon.
155-pound-Joe BunSa.
165-pound-Gerald Strang.
175-pound-Fred Slant.
Heavyweight-JameS Turner.

PILOT MCCARTHY,
GEHRIG RECEIVE
$4,000 SALARY
Tops Previous High
Mark by $4,000
BY PAT ROBINSON

NEW YORK, Jan. 81 QN.S).
The world champion New York
Yankees this year will be the high
est paid club the game has ever
known. The Yankee pay roll will
exceed even the high-water mark
it attained in the years when Babe
/ Ruth was drawing 100000.
A checkup today disclosed that
Ed Barrow, president Of the
Yanks, inclosed with each players
contract little note advising the
recipient to say nothing about the
salary offered.
WILL EXCEED $780, 900
Nevertheless, we are in position
today to say that the Yankee pay
roll for 1899 will exceed $500, 900,
which is some $4,000 more than
their previous record.
This huge sum, Of course, In
cludeS the salary Of Manager Joe
Mccarthy and the three coaches,
as we'll as the Is regulars who will
stick through the season.
When a club lays almost q
third of a million dollars on the
line for salaries, it expects few
holdouts and it is unlikely to have
any. One or two of the players
have indicated that they want
some minor adjustments made in
their contracts but none Of them
want to be listed as a holdout.
Monty Pearson, who pitched the
only no-hit game in the American
League last year, says he is not

This Is a strange way for a
heavyweight champion to act. He
is shattering a moss-covered prece-
dent by defending his title more
than once a year. However, Joseph
feels the need of more rounds of
actual combat. It isn't the fight
ing that botherS him as much as
the isolation Of training camps.
FOUR KNOCKOUTS
In less than IL months Louis
has started only 10 rounds of ring
warfare and finished only six. The
difference is four knockouts. That

managing directors, tarried here

think any match will be made
until after Max Baer and Lou

FANS ARE INSTALLED
IN RALEIGH OFFICE

Raleigh, July 12.-(AP)-Twelve
large "cyclone" fans and 70 addl-
tional small fans were installed in
offices of the unemployment COM
pensation commission here today to
allay heat conditions that recently
caused the prostration of score OF
girls.
Mrs. J. B. Spillman, commission
member, said workers had COM
mented Immediately after installa-
ton that the working quarters were
cooler as result.
Since working hours were changed
from $50 to 4:30 to a. M, through
2 p. M, Mrs. Spillman said, there
have been no further heat prostra-
tions. She said she hoped the COM
mission would be able to "get along
under the new arrangement until the
new UCC building is ready for oc-
cupation sometime next fall
The series of heat prOStratiOns re-
suited in urgent demands on the So
cial security board at Washington
that additional windows be cut in
the office building and that cooling
units be installed. Both requests were
denied, and the fans just installed
were obtained after the governor ano
Congressman r. L. Doughton took a
hand in the affair.
Partial remedy has been a cooler
trend in the weather since the mid
die of June, when prostrations reach
ed a peak.

Will Ask Cut
In Insurance
Charges Here

Mayor Henry T. Powell said to-
day he and Alderman L. w. Ellis
would go to Atlanta the latter part
|Of this week for a conference with
officials of the southeastern Under
writer's with view to optainlng i
reduction in insurance rates in Hen
derson. 1t is felt that rates are high
er than justified, in view of the
city'S low fire loss rate for several
years, and an adjustment is to be
sought.
Several months ago a proposal was
put before the City Council that an
anti-Wooden shingle ordinance be
passed for the city, which would
eliminate all wooden shingles in the
city limits by the end of twelve
years. The argument for this was
that it would reduce the insurance
rate charged here Immediately. The
Council did not at that time adopt
the ordinance, and has not done so
since then. At the time it appointed
a committee to investigate the mat
ter and report back.
The Council now has a committee
Of its members investigating the
desirability of purchasing a new fire
truck for the fire department, and
this committee is expected to make
report possibly at the next meet
ing of the aldermen. After the visit
of the mayor and Mr.. Ellis, who is
supervisor of public works for the
Council, to Atlanta, they are ex-
pected to be able to make def
mite report to the board on the pos
sibility of obtaining a lower in
surance rate for property in the city.
