KELLY COLORFUL FIGURE Old-Time Player Was One of Greatest Diamond Stars in Game. Mike Kelly was one of the most Interesting players in the history of baseball. He owed nothing to accidental circumstance, as Ruth owes half his value to the fact that there are seats and fences to prevent fielders from going back for his long drives. Kelly caught, played right field, frequently pitched, and occasionally took any position. On bases his running made the opposing nine nervous, as did later the running of Ty Cobb. Kelly’s high spirit was the life of his own club. His mind was as quick as that of Johnny Evers. His smiling batting of fouls until he got his base on balls led to the foul strike rule. His almost unfailing cutting of third base led to two umpires. His stealing of home was one of the earliest and most frequent. If anybody in baseball has had os many powerful and brill.ant qualities as this many-sided Irish-American his name lingers not in the fans’ memories. GOOD OLD DAYS RECALLED Power of Money Regretted in Modern Development of Baseball. “Old Cap Anson,” shortly before he died, declared that the earlier baseball contests had a more personal interest. Money did not decide. Today, Cleveland or Washington might happen to •dn a pennant, but the cards are {packed in favor of cities that can spend more money. Huggins or MeGraw can purchase eevrybody in sight. Boston may develop Ruth, but New York buys him. llcGraw’s ’’million-dollar-infield” was not developed, like the earlier infields of Anson, Comlsky, Chance and Mack. Two of its members, when already stars. weer bought from contenders. Detroit deserves Ty Cobb, as Providence deserved Radbourne, as Baltimore deserved its champion team. Even as late as Baker, Barry, Collins, and Mclnnis. teams were built instead of made out of the highest prices. There ought to be a limit to the amount of money any team can spend. Monday Fight Results NEW YORK—Dave Shade, New York Welterweight, outpointed George Ward in twelve rounds. NEW YORK Dutch Brandt knocked out Nick Nelson in the ninth round. Happy Mahoney won a twelve-round decision from Nick Foley. JERSEY CITY Rocky Smith, Battle Creek, welterweight, outpointed Phil Kaplan, New York, in twelve rounds.

THE SKILLICOR N BALL CLUB.

By XEA Service WATSONVILLE. Cal., Aug. 1 —The Skillicorn baseball team of this city is all in the family. “Pop” Skillicorn raised these nine brothers on the bat, as it were. A baseball fan of many years’ standing “Pop” decided that it was not mere accident that Fate had decreed him nine boys. It’s said to be the only all brother team in the West. And they’re

AMERICAN LOOP PICKS UP GOOD CROP OF SOUTH PA WS

By BILLY EYAS'S Left-handed pitchers worthwhile are much sought after by every major league club. No pitching staff is really complete unless It boasts one good left-hander. Every season about twelve righthanded pitching recruits to one southpaw report in the spring for a major league trial. Recently I asked a well-known National League umpire how the older organization was faring on the question of likely southpaw recruits. “We haven’t had a good-looking southpaw break Into the National League for a couple of years,’’ he replied. For a number of years the American League was particularly unfortunate in that respect. This, however, is another year. The season of 1922 promises big things in the matter of southpaw recruits In the Johnsonian organization.

TIMER FOR FAIR AUTO MEET Secretary I. Newt Brown of the State board of agriculture Tuesday received word from A. It. Corey, Des Moines, secretary of the International Motor Contest Association, the organization which controls dirt track auto racing, to the effect that an electrical timing device may be Installed for the speed meet at the Indiana State Fair in September. The installation of a timer would insure the acceptance by the official contest board of any -world's records which might be made. Without such a timing device there is always a chance that any actual record made may not be accepted officially. Secretary Brown has been advised that a number of new speed pilots have made application for licenses this season and that only pilots licensed by this body will be permitted to compete In the meet on the fair ground track.

SAVE YOUR AUTO-TOP

Your auto-top costs considerable money to replace and is for about two years, all told, if you “let it alone.’’ If you “WAXMUSH” it every six months, which takes from fifteen minutes to a half hour, it will last six or eight years, look good and stay good. You smear on the WAXMUSH with a hunk of cotton waste, or cloth, and In a minute or two rub off the excess, which brings out a black lasting luster. Requires no skill to use, just a matter of smearing on the soft WAXMUSH, and a dollar can is enough to give a very large top two coats, a year’s supply. WAXMUSH is soft and mushy but it dries quickly, makes the top very black, waterproofs it and renews its life. You can use your car as soon as you have finished Waxmushing it, for it is then perfectly dry. It is the greatest stuff you ever saw, beats top varnish and all other preparations made for tops and is far more lasting. Y'ou know how thread or cord is strengthened and waterproofed by waxing it, that is just what WAXMUSH does to your top and the surface looks almost like new. Rub your hand over the upper flat surface of your top and see If it is not commencing to get a little rough and dry, a sure sign that the life is leaving it. Unless properly treated It will soon become leaky and the material

Rickard is going to pull that Demp-sey-Willard second edition or bust. He has an dea that the world's series is going to be played in New Y'ork again in October and he likes that date for the second massacre. Benny Would Go to Europe. Benny Leonard is figuring on going to Europe with his whole family in the fall. The British folk have been talking about a Ted Lew-is Leonard fight, and they would also like him to show them how rotten their champion, Ernie Rice, Is.

will rot away. Give it a good coat of WAXMUSH, which Is not only the best top dressing made but the easiest to apply. If your car is "black” you can use WAXMUSH on the body, fenders and wheels to protect the finish from the action of the sun and weather. It waterproofs either anew or old finish, puts on a thin protective coating and brings up a nice lasting luster. Mud and dust will then corns off easily without injury to the varnish underneath. Why let the finish of your car become rusty, your top leaky and go to pieces when you can save both at so little expense and effort. WAXMUSH Is made by an old compounder who has had more than twenty years practical experience making wax compounds for protecting and renewing painted, varnished and dyad surfaces, a very careful man who thoroughly understands the work. WAXMUSH is not sold through dealers. We will send you a large full size can by parcel post prepaid, with all the simple directions for using, upon receipt of a dollar. Just enclose a dollar with your full name and address very plainly written or printed and we will know what you want. Address, The Waxmush Company, Cincinnati, Ohio. There is an opportunity for energetic men everywhere to establish a business of Waxmushing cars in their locality.—Advertisement.

Sox Trail Yanks By United Xev>s CHICAGO, Aug.

I.—The second struggle of the Indian-Saints series Monday practically was ruined for the Tribesmen in the opening inning. Manager Hendricks chose Pug Cavet for mound duty and the veteran southpaw was greeted in the first stanza with a cluster of hits that had him groggy. Three Saints cantered over the plate on four hits, two be ing extra-base drives. The final score was 7 to 2. Seib Goes to Mound Cavet went back at ’em in the ond inning, but when Dressen, first Saint up, clouted him for a long safety he was taken out and Seib substituted. The lead given Tom Sheehan acted as a bracer and the tall Saint twirler breezed through without much damage, five hits being the Tribe's total. The Indians' two runs came in the fifth when Yerkes inserted a double after Sheehan had a temporary weakening spell and filled the bases on walks. After he recovered, however, there wasn't a whole lot to it. He grew stronger and in the ninth fanned two of the Tribe’3 best bets, Rehg and Krueger. Sheehan Strikes Out Seven Seven of the Indians fanned and Selb struck out six Saints during the seven inningrs he pitched. It appeared to be a case of a big Saint lead breaking down the confidence of the Hendrlcksmen, for they didn’t seem to possess the same brand of high class pepper of the previous day when they bumped off Charlie Hall, one of the Saints’ best. Umpire O'Brien had a hard day with the home crew and he was forced to banish Catcher Gonzales, Coacher Hall and Bench Men Morrison and Rogers.
