PRACTICALLY ALL DETAILS ARE
COMPLETED AND ONLY SIG
NATURES NEEDED
Chicago, Dec. 22.-Sale of the Amer
calh' leagtoa baseball club, the transfer
to it of a half-dozen players.from other
:teams in the organization, and the se
election of a manager from a champion
ship class AA team, all constituting
one of the biggest deals in the history
of the league, was virtually completed
here today.
All's Complete.
Formal announcement of the trans
action awaits the arrival in New York
tomorrow of Jacob Ruppert and T. L.
Huston, the new owners of the Yan
kees. They left here late today after
completing negotiations with B. B.
Johnson, president of the league, tha't
began several weeks ago in New York.
It was intimated at the league head
quarters that only signatures were
needed to make the documents of the
sale complete. Attempts to get any
kind of an official announcement to
this effect met with refusal. Neither
was there any definite word as to the
identity of the new manager and play
ers for the New York team.
Donovan, ,Perhaps.
From other sources it was learned
that "Wild Bill" Donovan, former De
triot pitcher and last season manager
of the Providence International league
team, was chosen leader.
Probable Players.
Players intvolved were thought to be
Rehg, Boston; High and Pipp, Detroit,
and Mills, St. Louis. These men prob
ably will be transferred for moderate
cash considerations, and Donovan will
lie given a chance to figure on trades
for other men after he takes over the
rejuvenated team.
The price for the franchise and play
ers' contracts already held by the club
has been given as about $420,000.
HANS LOBERT GOES HOME
WITHOUT MAKING THE
DESIRED TERMS
Chicago, Dec. 22.-Hans Lobert,
third baseman of the Philadelphia Na
tionals, who has been in Chicago two
days, failed to come to an agreement
with either the Federal league or Man
ager McGraw of the New York Na
tionals, and left for Philadelphia to
night.
It is funny that a 90-pound girl with
a. shape like a capital "I" can wear;
out as many pairs of shoes in a year
as the corn fed who makes a pair of
scales holler for help when she weighs
herself.

YOU SEEM TO BE STRONG ITS THE RIGHT CUT. I'M AN EXPERT ON
FOR THE REAL. TOBACCO CHEW" CUTS AND I OUGHT TO KNOW THATS WHY
ICHEW IT:
d '
THE BUTCHER CONVINCES THE GOOD JUDGE
(NOMFORT and tobacco satisfaction-
Sa chew of "Right-C& ," the Real
Tobacco Chew.
Just tuck a small chew of "Right-Cut"
away. Let it rest easy and enjoy the
taste as it comes along nice and steady.
It's cut fine and short shred, so you
get all the good of it without having to
break in your chew.
Take a very small chew-less than one-quarter the
old size. It will be more satisfying than a mouthful
of ordinary tobacco. Just nibble on it until you find
the strength chew that suits you. Tpc.k it away.
Then let it rest. See how easily and evenly the real
tobacco taste comes, how it satisfies without grinding, hlwv
much less you have to spit, how few chews you take to
be tobacco satisfied. That's why it is The Real Tobacco
Chkw. That's why it costs less in the end.
It is a ready chew. cut finae and short shred so that you won't have
to grind on it with your teeth. Grindingt on ordinary candied tobacco
makes you spit too much.
The taste of pure, rich tobacco does not need to be covered up with molasacl sod
lieitori. Notice how the salt brings out the rich tobacco taste in "Right-Cut."
One small chew takes the place of two big
hliews of the old kind.

MARCHING RUSSIANS
AN INFORMAL BUNCH
London.-(Correspondence of the
Associated Press.)-A letter from
Warsaw says that in marching Russian
soldiers present an odd picture.
"The Russian regiments on the
march are the most informal organi
zations in the world," it says. "Ahead
ride a few officers, and thne, in no
partcular formation, come the troops,
some on one side of the road and some
on the other. Toward the rear they
straggle off in dwindling streams,
wandering about the fields and plod
ding here and there, just as though
each was off on an individual tour.
"For miles after a regiment has
passed one sees little groups trudging
along, apparently perfectly contented
and without a worry in the world. Yet
at night they all appear for rations,
and in the morning start off again in
a solid formation.
"I am told that this method of
marching has proved a great puzzle to
the German airmen in trying to esti
mate the number of troops that are
moving. When the columns are so
strung out, it is almost impossible from
any height to tell whether what one
sees is a battalion in close formation
or a company strung out. Most armies
march in solid masses which can be
seen and estimated accurately from a
great distance.
"The more one sees of the individual
of the Russian army the more one
comes to like the common soldier here.
He is the most good-natured, child
like, playful person in the world, and
in the month I have been with the
army I have not seen any disorder. On
the road and in the camp, all seem
contented and happy as long as the
\\eather is fine. It must be admitted
they look a little dismal in the rain.'
TROOPS FIGHT OVER
KILLING OF ANIMALS
London.-(Correspondence of the
Associated Press.h-The East Indian
troops are giving no end of trouble be
cause of their fastidiousness in eat
ing. In the Netley hospital near
Southampton, Hindus and Mohammie
donl wounded almost came to blows
over the question of how their goat
Sand sheep should be served. It has
been necessary to separate them to
avoid fighting.
The Mohammedan wants the ani
mals' heads cut off; the Hindu in
sists that the throat shall be cut and
the beast allowed to bleed to death
after custom immemorial. At first the
British in charge of the hospital were
inclined to weigh the matter lightly,
but they found that it was of serious
cbncern to the Indian. After two or
three clashes between the factions, they
were placed in different parts of the
hospital and their respective requests
in the matter of how goats or sheep
should be slaughtered are being care
fully observed.
RULING IS EXPECTED
ON OPIUM STATUTES
San. Francisco, Dec. 22.-The fate of
60 men convicted in San Francisco
of violating the federal opium act, will
soon be decided by the supreme court
of the United States, which will de
cide shortly the constitutionality of
the act which prohibits the importa
tion of opium. The 60 Californians
were convicted of either smuggling
or having opium in their possession.
The case was put up to the highest
court on the appeal of 14 United States
customs guards convicted some time
ago as members of an alleged opium
smuggling ring in which steamship of
ficials were alleged to have been im
I plicated. Attorneys for the convicted
customs guards contenr! that the fed
eral statute, as it now stands, is an
invasion of the police rights of the
states and is otherwise unconstitu
tional. They attack the validity of
the provisions of the law which fix
the mere possession of contraband
opium as evidence of illegal connivance
in smuggling operations.
LEFT OUT.
Washington, Dec. 2.--A house naval
affairs sub-committee agreed today to
leave out of the coining naval appro
priation the proposed appropriation of
$3,000,000 for a dry-dock over the lo
cation of which Philadelphia and Nor
folk have been contCssting. The bill
as now drawn is said to follow the de
partment's estimates very closely and
it includes an appropriation of $1,000,
!000 for aeronautics.

175,000 GUNNYSACKS
FOR CHICAGO'S MAIL
Chicago, )Dec. 22.-One hundred and
seventy-five thousand gunnysacks were
ordered to the rescue of desperate
parcel post clerks of this city and con
tiguous territory today. They were
purchased by Postmaster Campbell for
his own needs and those of other post
masters of this district, who reported
that the supply of reserve mailbags
of the regular pattern was inadequate
to contain the holiday business.
SHIP ASHORE.
Pan Diego, Dec. 22.-The Danish
motorship Malakka, with a $1,250,000
cargo, is still fast on a rocky ledge on
the northwestern end of Bird rock, on
the northern end of the Natividad
isla'ids. The Malakka has been left to
her fate for a few days at least as the
Arizonlan, which stood by to lend her
aid all night and part of today, has
proceededI down the coast.

JOE WOLCOTT MET
LARGE AND SMALL
No fighter in the rlng today is
prepared to do the stunts that
made Joe Wolcott fantteus.
Joe met fighters of nil weights.
He was a welter and easily re
mained at 142 pounds, but he took
on the biggest men in the ring
when in his prime.
He knocked out Joe Chojinaki in
seven rounds when Joe had to his
credit a drawn battle with Jim
Jeffries.
Joe made one big mistake. He
tried to fight in the lightweight
class and take the title from Kid
a I vigne.
1 When he trained down to 133
1 pounds he found himse!f so weak
1he could not make any kind- of a
i showing against Lavigne.
o The two fought a 15-rotid draw
el in Maspeth in 1895 and;:Lavgne
r won in 12 rounds in San'iPancisco
s in 1S97.

HARRY WOLTER
Out on the. coast there's a story
that Harry W.olter is coming back to
the Yankees. Wolter broke his leg
early in the season of 1912, and
when he reported to Frank Chance the
following year he was unable to run
with his former speed. Wolter recov
ered his old form last season and was
a sensation in the Pacific Coast league.
He hit above .330 and his fielding was
remarkable.
