Jan. 27. —Tris Speaker, who has been leleased by the Washington Senators, may have a contract with the New York Giants, calling for as much as $30,000 for the 1928 season, it was learned today. But, like a hook and eye, there is always a catch in a crack of that kind and, in this instance, it is something tantamount to requesting the leopard to abandon his dots in favor of dashes. The New York Giants, it seems, would give Speaker a $30,000 contract if he was a right-hand hitter. However, preliminary feelers for a Giant-Speaker deal have been sent out and both are understood to be ready to do business. I am informed that the first New York bid will go as high as $20,000 for the season and Speaker can hit any way he pleases, provided they go somewhere, preferably outside the ball park. The Giants admit they want Speaker for two reasons, first, because he still is a fine ontfie’der and hitter and, second, because t' ey need a so-call-ed big shot to remove the departure of Rogers Hurt.Jby from the civic conscience. Their only possible objection to Speaker, provided he doesn't want the combination to tile strong box, is that the Giants already have five outfielders who hit left handed when they hit at all. If Speaker tomes to the club, therefore, somebody will take a left handed derarture in a trade with another national league outfit. o Yellow Jackets To Play Peru Here This Evening The Decatur high school Yellow Jackets will play the strong Peru h gh school Tigers here tonight. The game will start at 8:30 o'clock. The Centtul eighth grade team will play the Men , eville eighth grade team at 6:30 o'clock and the Decatur high school second team will play the Hart'o'd hfvh school first team at 730 o’cl.u . Chambers, of Fort Wij ne. will referee, and Elmer 'Sweco" Wilkins, of Fort Wayne, will umpire. o College Basketba'l Evansville, 31; Oakland City, 29. Manhattan, Km.—. Mike Ahearn, director of athletics at Kansas State Agricultural college, was to leave today for the east to “look around” for a football coach for the Aggies. Lincoln, Neb. — Spencer Abbott, owner of the Lincoln Western league franchise has threatened to move his club to Pueblo, Colo., if Lincoln does not guarantee him an attendance ot 70,000 nevt year. He said Pueblo had offered the 70,000 inducement.

I — “Stretch” Murnhy Takes Two Berths On Pullman So He Can Stretch Out , Lafayette. Ind., Jan. 27.—(INS) — Charles (“Stretch") Murphy, lanky Purdue University baskethull center, requires two upper berths when the team Havels in u Pullman. “He's too big for a lower,” declared Couch Lambert, "and only by leaving the partilio ..down be- ■ twren the uppers can 'Stretch' gel a good night's rest." The Purdue live has yet to be : defeated in the big ten conference, thunks to the accurate basket tossing of “Stretch." ffl.» GCALS By MARK M. UPP |IL-—— L.-==jy Just before the battles. Three games at the D- 11. S. gym to-1 night and everyone worth the price of admission. The Commodores wil be backed by a large delegation cf fans at Library Hall in Foit Wayne tonight when they meet their old rival, C. (’. H. S. May the good old ship Decatur, manned bv a crew of sturdy (’ nimodores. come through the storm victorious. There appears to be confidence aplenty in the Peru camp, on the eve of the Tigers' battle with the Yellow Jackets here tonight. The Peru Tribune said yesterday. “Coach Moore stated that a definite lineup for the game at Decatur had not yet been chosen, but that it was probable that the reserves would play. Following is the probable lineup for the game: Rees and Erb, forwards: Donaldson or Baker, center; Godfrey and Bishop, gi ards. Other members of the team who will make the trip are Jones. Brauneller, Newhouse and Griggs." Jones. Biauneller, Newhouse and Griggs are all regulars. Erb has been | starting at one forward position most of the time. Coach Moore must be tiying to k d us a little. By the way, Pein has won 14 game d and lost two this season. The two quintets to lake the measure cf the Tigers were Franklin ami Elwood, two mighty good teams. “WE’RE FOR THE YELLOW JACKETS", says Will Winn in his column. Time Outs, in the Berne Review. Winnie Winteregg, who used to help Will write the column but. who Is now wotking elsewhere, says the! following in a contrib to Time Outs,l "This is a little early to select the winner of this section, but I firmly be-1 lieve the Decatur Yellow Jackets are going to the state this year.” Garrett high school won its first basketball game of the season last Friday night, beating Albion on the Garrett floor, 23-27. First thing you know, they’ll be changing the name cf the town from Garrett to Cellar. — Dopey Doping The Scoreboard, in the Kendallville News-Sun, says: “Syracuse beat Kendallville by one point; Decatur defeated Syracuse by 36 points; Central of Fort Wayne beat Decatur by six points; the Red Devils beat Central by three points and then Decatur crushed Kendallville 20 points. Just try to dope basketball." Better check STRICKEN SUDDENLY Almost daily we hear of it—the story of some man, probably a friend, suddenly cut off in the niidst of his usefulness, in the very prime of life. That's what high blood pressure and heart trouble will do —snap off life without warning. All due to our abnormal living habits which put too great a strain upon the vital organs, especially the liver. The liver becoming weak and sluggish fails to cleanse the blood , of the poisons formed in food waste. The whole system then becomes toxic, with stomach, kidneys, heart and blood vessels affected. The liver, especially at middle life, needs a little help, and there’s nothing better for thin, as physicians today know, than a little ox ’ gall. Ox gall is a great natural '- stimulant for the human liver, pror inoting its normal active functioning. so essential to health and vitality. Dioxol tablets are genuine ox p gall in dainty and tasteless form, each tablet representing ten drops R of pure ox gall. They cost less than s 2c each at good druggists, and one or two days’ use will prove a revert lation. To lie sure of getting the genuine ox gall, ask lor Dioxol.
