RALPH DE PALMA BREAKS WORLD AUTO RECORD; HANS WAGNER IS ATHLETIC BOS f ortunes For Ballplayers In Famous Early Deals The custom of buying ballplayers atea back to the early 'Bos. Al hough the deals and prices paid rere not as large as at the present ime, it may Interest some of the resent day fans to recall some of he famous deals of early days, as he old time records show. They rested much interest than and the ress of that decade had much to ay pro and con. The sale custom ollowed the scandal of 1870, and ules were made that players should ign contracts and could not Jump roni team to .team. Chicago started something In 876, tho opening year of the Na lonal League, and stole A 1 Spald ng, pitcher; Jarves White, catcher: loss Barnes, second baseman, and !al McVey. first baseman, from the hampion Boston team of 1875. They rere known as tho "stolen four." 'his deal created such a row In aseball that teams had to buy play rs afterward. Detroit Bought the Big Pour Tho Detroit club paid a large sum nr tho franchise and players of the Buffalo team at the end of the sea on of 1885. The "big four," Dan Irouthers. Hardy Richardson, Jim Yhltr and W. Rrowe. were secured, he Tigers, however, had to wait ntf! 1887 to win their first Na onal League pennant. The Boston club wanted to land lie National League pennant In 987 and startled the baseball world y paying 210,000 to Chicago for Atcher Mike Kelly, who helped- the Fhlte Stockings to win in 1885 and 886, This deal created as much of sensation at that time as some of lie present day sales and trades. Boston did not land the pennant with !ing Kelly, the 210,000 beauty, as e was called by the press. Boston 'anted the pennant badly and as the lub had plenty of money in 18S8, 10.000 was paid for Pitcher Clark fin of Chicago. Here was another tg sensation. Kelly and Clarkson 'orked hard that season, but Bos- M) got no higher than fourth place. AROUND THE BASES Said Private McGoorty wh eai he read nor line day Ttiat his unit would line up in battle array To receive a memorial, some art done in stone; "If they'd give me a Job I wcakl feel more at hame-T" Senator James S. Boyd, of Mont ;omery county, is an admirer of larrisbnrg's River Front. He takes requent walks along it and says hat the manner in which Harris urg has handled the matter should nterest other cities. "It is not often hat a city has a chance to save its rater front. You are lucky and you lavo handled it right," said he. Yonder if the Senator ever had a lorious swim at Independence slanfl with the cooties and fiTe aches of muddy water! THE OLD ALIBI A soldier was pleading with his ommanding officer. "Ton are always on leave," ex -1 aimed the commanding officer. What on earth do you want srpe ial leave for now?" "My sister's baby is going to be accinated. sir." "And what has that got to do rith you?" "She's my sister, sir," explained !"ommy, with a hurt look. "What, the baby?" "No, sir. the baby's sister's my •rother—l mean Pm the mother s ,aby—er—the father's my sister. "You mean." broke In the C. 0., mgrily. "What do they want you or? That is ther point." "For a godmother, sir." —E din burg Scotsman. SEE WHIZ! NEWSPAPER MAN GETS A JOB New York, Feb. 13.—L E.

The Southerners will be making their flrst trip to this city, and are reputed to be one of the best high schools In the South. As added attractions. Faculty Director Grubb will pit the fresh men against tho sophomores in an Interclass contest," and after the debris has been cleared from the floor as a result of the two matches, dancing will follow. It is likely that Coach Miller will send nine players into the fray until the final whistle has been blown by Referee "Dave" McConnell. At forward will be Captain Lingle, Ebner and "Johny" Beck, as for the center position "Hap" and "Dough nuts" are as friendy as two game cocks. It is just friendly rivalry, with the honors a toss-up. Back at guard are C. Beck, Kohlman, Smith and Bihl. Any of the four are capable players, and on any other team of the league would have a position cinched. In the interclass game, the Sophs, under the leadership of "Snaps" Emanuel, look like a formidable combination. Many predict that the second year lads will make a bid for the inter class pennant.
