MUCH TIME LOST REPAIRING If It Has Been Carried for Any Length of Time as a Spare it Is Always Best to Pump It Up before Putting in Casing. A great deal of unnecessary trou- ble, delay and disappointment ts oc- easloned by carelessness and haste in replacing dumaged inner tubes after punctures or deflutions from other cuuses—the tire failing to “hold up” on the tube put in or holding up for a very short time only, and still an- other change of tube, with all its at- tendant labor, being required before @ permanent repair is effected.

BASEBALL JURY INDICTS THIRTEEN Chicago.—Indictments against 13 | persons believed to have been impli- cated in the “throwing” of games in j American league players were return- jed by the special Cook county grand (jury, which has been investigating the baseball scandal for more than a }month. Further indictments are ex- | pected. Indictments against 10 men _ prev!- jously had been voted, but were re- voted to overcome legal technicalities while the other three—Abe Attell Hal Chase and William Burns—had only been unofficially mentioned in connec- tion with the investigation. All of the indictments charge con- spiracy to commit an illegal act, a crime for which a penitentiary sen. | tence can be given under the laws of | Minois. Chase and Burns, ex-major league players, and Attell, once the feather- weight boxing champion of the world, | have been accused by witnesses of be- ing three of the clique which “framed” the world series and arranged to bribe the Chicago White Sox players for sums to range from $2000 to $10,000 to try to lose games in the contests for the world baseball championship.
