NEW ORK. May 9. Garry Herrmann,
boss of the Cincinnati Red, la the
owner of the questionable distinction of
having purchased tlio most expensive
wine In the history of the world. The
original outlay for the three or four
quarts of extra dry that he bought at
the Waldorf on December 12, 1913, waj
only SIS or 120, but since then It has
cost Garry an extra KO.000 or so and cost
his colleagues In Organized Base Rail
something Ilka $1,000,000. And, as they
say In classical Boston, "the end ain't
yet '
It seems an exaggeration to ray that
the success of the Federal league Is du
In a large measure to thoso three or four
quarts of champagne. Rut one has to go
quite a distance sometimes and mak
some startling statements when relating
real, unvarnished facts.
The Federal league was a puny upstart
organization around, December, 191X No
one gave It much thought. It had only
George Btovnll and one or two other play
era tinder contract who were of real
major league caliber, and It had only n
few backers with real bank rolls. The
fnture looked drab and drearlike, anil
even stout-hearted Prexy Glltnore and
his few trusty l.eutenants were down
cast Was Heavy In (-'tip.
Anil then Clarry Invested In wine, and,
while In wine, he sold Joo Tinker, tho
shortstopplng person, to Charles Holiday
Ebbets of Brooklyn, using the wine
smeared table as the place for "pulling
off" the most famous deal In base ball.
And then Incidents began to happen.
Kbbets, tho best little publicity gatherer
clnoe Nero's time, at once began to get
into newspaper debates with Tinker. Ho
c6uld have signed up Tinker right away
and saved him to Organized Rase Ball,
but that wasn't Ebbets' idea. Further
more, neither he nor any onn clso ever
figured on Joe doing such a traitorous
act as Jumping to the Fed.1. Tho Idea
was too absurd, so rldlcutous, etc., that
It wasn't e'en thought of.
And so Charley Just went along, on his
serene publicity gathering way, and
reaped reams of press agentlng through
the fact that he'd agreed to pay tho
then unheard-of price of $25,000 for one
ball player. Joe wanted to sign Up and
gather unto himself that $10,000 benus.
But Charles didn't want the signing up
done right away. The longer Joe remained
unsigned and tho longer ho could get
the newspapers to speculate on what
Would be the outcome of the little news
paper argument he and Joe wore having
on the salary question tho hotter It would
be for Charles, who figured that Jew
would prove a greater drawing card for
each day that he was kept out in the
cold begging for that $10,090 bonus.
Jaiaps to Federals. x
All of a sudden Jo startled tho base
Mil world by Jumping to tho Federals,
And tho Federals were made, it was the
turning point. The acquisition of Unltee
gave them the moat advertised man In
base boll; It gavo them a. wonderful
player, a wonderful drawing card-and It
slave them courage. And, too and most
important of all-It influenced pew cap
ital and influenced other major league,
solars to their ranks.
All this came about because Garry Herr
mann bought somr. fitting wine and
while Its warming Influence was at work
under his belt, he sold Tinker to Ebbets
an act that he probably wouldn't hav
committed If It hadn't been for the wine
within his system. For, Garry, Just prior
to going Into the Waldorf barroom on
tho afternoon of December 13 had said
that at that Urn he couldn't sell Tinker
to anyone but Charles Webb Murphy,
then boss of the Chicago Cubs, "to whom
J have given a verbal option."
Tinker to .Chicago.
"Murphy wants Tttfker, and I guess
Tinker wants to play In Chicago," sold
Garry In the Waldorf lobbies, just before
lie bought that famous wine. "Murphy
left for Chlcag6 a half hour ago and I'm
riot free to offer Tinker for sale to any
one else until J hear from Murphy, whloli
ought to be tomorrow afternoon, as he's
going to confer with Tinker aa soon as
he gets to Chicago,"
And then Garry wandered Into the bar
room, sought out a little table and or
dered wine. Just as the twilight ehadowa
were gathering; outside along sauntered
Charles Holiday Ebbets to the barroom
table where Herrmann sat
"I'm still anxious to get Tinker," said
Kbbets to Herrmann. '-'
"Sorry, Charley, but rye given Murphy
the exclusive right to dal with Tinker,"
said 'Herrmann to EUbHs, and then, to
the -waiter he said: '" I
" 'Nother bottla of whe."
And a little later hs 'snld:
"More wine, waiter.'
And a little, later .trio Tinker deal was
put through. , '
And then somebody said:
" "Nother bottle of wine, waiter."

CHANCE PREDICTS A CHANGE

flncllnn In .Inlnry Player
Will Receive.
NEW YORK. May fl.-The Federal
league's attempt to establish Itself as a
third major league Is costing a lot of
money to both Federals and Organized
ball, but the ball player will ultimately bo
the rra sufferer. At the present t'mo tho
ball player Is traveling serenely on tho
crest of wartime notaries, but the finish
of tho fight will put salaries below tho
ninrk they had attained when -the Fed
eral league broke Into the seene. Huch l
'the opinion of Frank Chonce. who is
thoroughly conversant with the various
angles of tho sport an player, manager
and stockholder.
'The Federals are not helping hall
players ns much as many would make
us believe," said the peerless leador In
dlrcurnlng the new league. "Temporarily
tho player Is reaping a benefit through
lln presence of the Feds, but wnlt until
this war ends nnd see what happens,
Salaries will take a big drop and no mat
ter which sldo wins the club owners will
bo In full control of the situation and
able to dictate to tho players.
If the Feds should succeed In estab
lishing themselves and should ultimately
bo Joined with the two major leagues, or
even with the next highest class leagues.
It Is a certainty Unit no more opposition
need bo oxpectcd for years. Tho field
will be more than covered In the larger
cities. If Organized ball Is succersful and
the Feds should be forced to the wall,
then Organized bnse ball would be
stronger than ever. Who would think of
another league If tho Feds could not
make It go with all their money?
' Apart for I "nils.
"Base ball to the fan Is primarily a
sport, but to the club owners the men
who buy players and pay salaries run
ning a ball club Is a cold business propo
sition. Every man who Is financing a
ball club In nny sort of a league Is in
the game to make money. Home of the
stories printed about the Feds during
tho last few months would spread the
Impression that tho promoters wero en
gaged In tho work of benefitting tho
ball players first and perhaps mako a
little money afterward. In other words,
the leaguo was to be promoted by philan
thropists Instead of business men. I
never met a club owner who was not
making base ball a business proposition.
Of course, all of them would rather have
a winner than a, loser, out It Is only
natural that a person who has Invested
thousands, or hundreds of thousands, In
baso ball is doing so to make money, not
to help ball players.
Mnst Realise on Investment,
"The Federal league promoters are no
different than any' of the others. They
will expect to realize as much on their
Investments as the major league club
6wnM would expect for tho same
anipuat. Hence the present war Is
a waV of business men and will un
doubtedly bo settled through the bull-
news office. If the Feds get enough at
the gate they will stay in business and
perhaps enter in a truce of pome kind
with the other club owners. If the re
ceipts continue to drop and the invest
ment becomes an expento Instead of a
profit-maker then the Feds will give up
the business. The work of the players
on the field is an important part of tho
struggle and the receipts depend upon
the playing naturally. But I am taking
this view because the business end of
the battle scorns to bo entirely over
looked. Will Face (Salary Limit.
Now for the player. When the Feds
give up or sign a peace agreement, what
ever may be the outcome, the player
may find himself facing a salary limit,
and it la probable that salaries will bo
somewhat lower on an average than
they have been during recent years. The
player will have to accept what Is of
fered him or stay out of the game.
Granting that the same men are In con
trol of tho clubs after the war ends. Is
It not natural to expect that they will
try to even up for the excessive salaries
they are now compelled to pay? A
player worth $3,000 who holds a club up
for a $1,000 contract In war time can
hardly expect that the club owner will
i)ot try tq get back some of that un
earned money when he Is In complete
control of. the situation. Remember, the
club owner Is a business man and the
ball player Is his employe.
"It Is through th'e players that a club
makes or loses money. If the club has
to stand a loss of, say $39,000, In excess
of salaries. It will naturally look to the
players to make up for this expenditure.
No TV at the Top,
'The ball player's salary had about
reached the top figure, from a real bus
iness standpoint, when the Federal league
activity began, I know of several play
ers who were drawing quite a little more
than they were really worth even be
fore the Feds were heard of. This Is
not a general statement regarding the
average ball player, but I have some
particular cases In mind. Salaries had
gradually gone up until they reached a
stage heretofore not dreamed about,'
Many players moved along with the ad
vancing salaries until they had gone
beyond the mark where they really be
longed. Before the reaction could set In
the Feds arrived and kept the figures
moving upward. Now, when the reac
tion comes, It will be stronger than
ever
"As for tho players who Jumped, a
few have already collected a consider
able part of their salaries. As for those
who drew down only a nominal bonus.
soy $500, and are held only by the ordi
nary contract, I cannot see how they
feel sure of their money. The con
tracts, If I nm informed correctly, con
tain the ten-day clause, which gives the
club owner power to break them at will.
At the same time they are no more bind
ing than the major league contracts
were when the ten-day clause was In
cluded. When the break comes they can
expect the big drop In salaries.
"Any way you look at It, the player
will eventually pay the freight. The
only ones safe from financial loss are
those who draw down large bonuses
which will more than make up for outs
they will have to suffer when the war
ends."

The news was almost too good to bo
true, but about a fortnight before the
opening of the tournament at 8U Peters
burg rumors began to- trickle across the
Atlantio to the effect that the committee
of the St Petersburg Chess club ' had
succeeded In persuading . Dr. Emanuel
Lasker once more to enter the lists,
which had not seen him for five years;
In fact not since the last International
congress was held In St Petersburg in
1909. Although the presence of the
world's champion In Russia, where he
arrived to play at Moscow late In March,
gave strong Indication of the real pur
pose of this Invasion of Russian ter
ritory, the glad tidings were accepted
cautiously over here, and nobody really
felt quite sure of the report until finally,
on April SO, the first dispatch arrived
from the capital of the czar, announc
ing the entry of eleven famous masters,
representing the flower of, chess (n six
different countries Russia, Germany,
France, England, America and Cuba.
The list Is an Impressive one. Including

had to be made, both on the part of the
entrants and the members of the com

Skin Health Gomes
From the
Even Slight Eruptions Such As
Acne Should Be Treated.
Pimples and otter skin troubles do not
alight on the face like flies. They com
bubbling out from within, Tbey are Impur
ities. And if let alone or greased with
salves they become chronic, simply beeausn
the rause Is still at work within. It should
be attacked with 8. S. S. and toe Impurities
io tbe blood thus rendered harmless.
The skin Is but a net work of fine blood
vessels. And it is a perfectly natural con
sequence that any Influence In the blood
that Is a condition of III health makes Its
flrst appearance in the akin. There are
certain medicinal properties that follow the
course of the blood stream and the Influence
of these properties Is that of an antidote.
This Is why S. 8. 8.. the best-known blood
purider, has such a positive action In tho
skin. There Is one Ingredient in 8. 8. 8.
which peculiarly stimulates cellular or
glandular activity to select from the blood
or from this fine net work of blood vessels
In the skin, those elements which, it re
quires for regeneration.
Thus pimples, acne", eczema, lupus, or any
other blood condition that attacks the skin
"i.t. n.S,u,." 'hgb the skin is met
with the antidotal effect of 8, 8. 8.
Thjs Is why skin troubles vanish so
readily and why they do not return.
Cnder the Influence of 8. 8. 8. this One
net work of blood vessels in the skin Is
constantly taking from the blood the nutrl.
tion required for healthy tissue and the
cause of disease Is Just as constantly being
removed, scattered and rendered harmless.
These facts are more fully explained In a
o ,M0n km troubles sent by The Bwlft
Specific Co.. 031 Bwlft Bldg.. Atlanta? Os
You will find 8. 8. 8. on sale at iirdrug
