After Saturdays sale, eleventh OF

of 1884 per head. A year ago the

hammer brought 81 1874 800 for All
average of s2,258 These are the
official figures Of the Fasig-Tipton

On this basis it seems likely the
average will fall below the $1,000

and the consequent absence of Brit

factor in the lower prices.
Mrs Katherine Tranter, presi-
dent of Fasig- -Tipton. is of the opin-

the decrease

Another expert pointed out that
Saratoga is the place for the cream
of the crop; that wealthy buyers
here are looking for possible stake
winners. At Lexington the useful
platter type is in demand He also
said that too many consignors breed
for quantity rather than quality.
Bidders Are Cautious.
The bidding this year seems to
bear out these statements. 1t has
been spotty. with the big buyers

SPOKANE. Wash. Aug. l9-Frank
Filchock, veteran Redskin quarter
back, signed his 1910 contract in
the wee Sma hours of this morning
after his old and prospective new
teammates had retired from the
night clearly worried over his status.
Apparently compromise be-
tween the Redskin management and
Filchock was reached, for the former
earlier had said it had made its last
offer while the player insisted that
he would not sign until he was
satisfied.
The agreement climaXed a long
negotiation between Filchock. Owner
George Marshall and Coach Ray
Flaherty in which contradictory
statements about terms were made
by each side. According to Filchock.
the Redskins original offer last May
was practically the same as last
years salary According to Tribe
officials, it represented a third
increase.

Marshall admitted having advised
Fllchock the middle of last week,
via long distance telephone, to re-

an offer made at that time was
agreed to by the player. Upon his
arrival Yesterday morning, however.
Filchock is said to have raised his
demands and was denied the right
to work out with the squad before
it adjourned for an afternoons out
ing at Hayden Lake in Idaho.
Filchock accompanied the party
and was seen in conference with
both Marshall and Flaherty through
out the evening. But not until
after midnight did the Redskin
coach announce that Filchock had
signed

Disagreement over salary wasn't
the sole reason for Filchock failing
to report, he said. as he had wished
to finish the baseball season with
the Fulton ky team he had been
playing with as an outfelder.
Il was doing right we'll" Filchock
told teammates, and might have
earned promotion to higher

On the lighter side of the news
was the announcement that Assis-

manage the Pacific Coast All-Stars
against Flaherty'S Redskins in the
lntrasquad game at Seattle Thurs
day night, had effected a trade de-
signed to strengthen his offensive.
To humor his assistant and also
because he apparently realized he
had most of the best running backs

suaded to give Bob Seymour to

engagement this week would be a
natural for the present tournament.
Further opposition can be expected
from the English Wightman Cup

a tussle in the Essex final.
But the English tandem is in the

your neighbors, your employees, and
your friends. Yet they form only
part of the organization built and
equipped to provide security for
working men and women in Old age

Reports on Account.
How does your insurance account
stand? Have you always given your
number to your employers? Obtain
a postal card form from the nearest
Social Security Board field Office
and inquire about your account. You
will receive a report which shows all
the wages which have been credited
by your various employers since this
insurance program began.
Beginning this year your employ
er must give you statement, in a
form suitable for you to keep, of the
amount of wages which he is re-
porting in your name. He will do
this at least once a year, or oftener,
If he prefers. Thus, you will always
know how your social security &C
count stands. Keep track of it. Re-
member it is one of your most val
liable possessions. Your future in
surance payments when you retire,
the monthly checks which your
widow and children would receive if
you should die, are based upon the
average monthly wage which you
have received during the period OF
your insurance.
But suppose you are not a young
worker just establishing your social
security account. Suppose you are
worker nearing the age of IS, or
even past it. You may be eligible
to retire now, or in the very near
future. You will want to be sure
just how to proceed to get your ben
eflts. In that case 60 to the nearest
Social Security Board field office to
file your claim.
No worker eligible for benefits
should lose his benefits through
misunderstanding or ignorance of
his rights. The Social Security
Board wants to be sure of that.
During the last three months we
have sent letters to more than 300,-
UUU possible DenenclarleS informing
them of the changes that had been
made in the act. We asked them
to come to the nearest Federal in
surance field Office to file their claim
if they had retired, or when they
did retire in the future There the
records are ready for them, so that
their claim may be handled with
dispatch.
During each month of 1910 letters
will go out to other workers who are
approaching the age of IS. They
will be invited to come in to discuss
their applications. Some may apply
now. Some may await a future
retirement date.
