A REASONABLE INDICATION OF THE DESERVED POPULARITY
of its plant and of faith in its management may be fairly claimed in the number of Metro
politan policies in force. It ia not only greater than that of any other company in America,
but fTeater than that of all the other regular companiea combined, less one. It exceeds, in
fact, the COMBINED POPULATION of 24 of the States and Territories out of the 52 form,
inf the American Union ; and as to CITIES, it exceeds the combined population of Greater
New York, Chicago, Philadelphia; Boston, St. Louis, Cleveland, Cincinnati, San Francisco,
' Pittsburgh, Baltimore, New Orleans and Buffalo.

,tlftl lives, premiums payable quarterly, semi-annually or annually. '
All policies are non-participating. They pst plain business contracts
Which tell their whole story on their face ; leave nothing to the imagination ;
borrow nothing from hope; require definite conditions and make definite
, promises in dollars and cents.
PREMIUMS ARB LOWER THAN ARB OFFERED BY ANY OTHER COMPANY
'.' In the Intermediate Branch policies are adapted to the working classes.
Each policy Is for $500 and the rate lower than that offered by the Savings
Bank system of Massachusetts. Two of the Metropolitan's Intermediate
forms recently standardized by the New York and Massachusetts Depart
' ments ' provide for attractive combinations of insurance and annuities at the
lowest rates offered anywhere. ' f

Mutual concessions brought about this re

consulted by me on all matters regarding
trades, purchases or siles of players. The
question of salary likewise Is satisfactory
to both of us.
I always have wanted to return to Chi

tween Mr. Murphy and myself had grown
Until I believed such a reault Impossible.
1 thought we had come to the final break
yesterday, and had determined to start
for Chicago next Tuesday,, there to sell
my house and stock in the Chicago club
and move to a newly purchased orange
grove, for a permanent home. I knew I
waa obstinate, end I thought Mr, Murphy
would prove even more so.
In this state of mind 1 met Harvey T.
Woodruff of the Chicago Tribune, a news
paper friend of elevun years' .standing.
He pointed out several possible errors In
my line of reasoning, and as a volunteer
Intermediary he took up the matter with
Mr. Murphy through his Chicago office and
several . exchanges of telegrams snd
'phone calls brought the whole matter to a
close.
My best energies will again be devoted as
heretofore to giving admirers of the Cubs

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Feb. S.-The much
talked of motor spjnedway In Indianapolis,
to vie with the Vanderbilt snd Savannah
courses in attracting the world's prominent
automobile races, materialised yesterday
when the Indianapolis Motor Speedway
company, capitalised .at $260,000, filed Its
articles of incorporation. The track is
only four snd a halt miles from the center
of the city, and Is reached by train and
trolley.
Contract lias been made with ths Aero
Club of America the' national balloon as
sociation to have the course finished by
June 1. In order to serve ss tha starting
point of the next national balloon meet,
which is to be held in June.
The Indianapolis apeedwsy Is hopeful of
Securing the National Block Chassis race
of 1909 soon after the completion of the
track, and has obtained trophies costing as
high as (5,000 In order to lure the roost
famous of the world's motor races to Its
International meets.
The design of the track Is unique. The
outer circular track is a course of two
miles, fifty feet wide snd banked at the
curve to stand a racing speed of 100 miles
or more per hour, lneide this track Is a
winding ccurat) 260 fuel .wide banked to
permit a speed of sixty pilles an hour.
The Inner course coi necti with the outer
one. end may 'be used, when desired, to
give a five-mile lap. Unusual provision for
safety has been made. There sre no fences
or buildings within fifty feet of the track.
GRIFF 'WILL. HOLD TO Al'TREY
Ctarlnnatl Fox Has No Idea of Asking?
Waivers on Chicken.
Clark Griffith, the old fo,' now manager
of Cincinnati, - ia quoted in the Sporting
News as denying most emphatically the
report that he ever aaked for waivera on
Chick Autrey. He pronounces the report a
simple fake. It Is no surprise to Omsha
friends of Chick to hear of this statement
from Griffith. Here Is what the Cincinnati
correspondent to the Sportmg News says:
"When Manager Griffith got wise to ths
'news' he did not hesitate to aay that It
waa nothing more nor less than a fake.
'If Preaident Drryfuss, who, probably wants
Autrey to bolster, up that Infield of his,
can show where we ever asked for waivera
on Autrey,' declared Griff, with emphasis,
'I'll give him Autrey without one rent of
charges.' As yet the challenge has not been
accepted, and It's a cinch that It will not
be. Autrey will have every opportunity to
prove- that he 4s a better man than Hob
lltsell before final, sentence Is passed upon
him."
It seems that tha report came from Pitts
burg, which town needs jt first baseman,
and needs him badly. It is to be hoped for
Chick's sake that If lie does not crowd out
Hobiitxell he may bi landed by some team
that needa a first baseman and will play
htm regularly for that la what the boy
needs and wants.

Wichita Is on the trsck of a new. third
baseman. Guess who it Is? Jay Andrews.
Jay and Dick Cooley have parted company
and Jay wants to play with Wichita and
Wichita wants him.
It is about settled that BUI Dwyer, Des
Moines' fast first baseman, whom Comlskey
took, will manage the Des Molncs team
this season. All tha American league
teams have waived on him..
Late Information from Sioux City Is that
Fred Weed, the big all-round fielder in

Fred Hunter, who played with Baltimore
part of last year will cover first- He Is a

Here's another bit of local news which
comes from a distance: Joe Dolan has

thla Information from Atlanta, The Bee
confirmed it at ths Smoke House in Omaha.
