I Boys--Boy Electrical-Mechanical-Constructional Ask your boy what he wants and he will ay Meccano, Why! Because it cultivates his mind; educates him to build and do things himself. These are a few of the models he can make easily. S ET Yn You can buy imitations of Meccano at other stores, but they are made by people who are fight- ing our country or are too proud to fight. Get the best---made in England, as a great many Meccano parts are patented and you only get imitations with other kinds. Goods Co. Phone 529 Treadgold ng st ANNOUNCEMENT .

THE DAILY in_the MANY CUBAN BALL PLAYERS MAY BE EXPECTED IN THE MA- JOR LEAGUES, If the Present Rate of Baseball De velopment in the Island Republic Is Continued, Cuban ball players by droves may |'be expected on American baseball | teams within the. next few years if the present rate of development the island republic ds continued. There are many of the brown-skin- ned exponents of the American na- | tional game who will be given tryouts | this year. Several Cubans already | have" won fame as big leaguers. | There is Armando Marsons, who is | now performing for the St. Louis | Browns, and Miguel Gonzales, who is back-stopping for the Cardinals. { These two men have made their marks as big leaguers. Another Cu- ban, Acosta, outfielder, appears to be ready to hold down a regular berth with Washington, and Angel Aragon and Jose Rodriguez, the former with the Yankees, and the latter with the Giants, 'appear to be real big league stock. Manuel Cueta already has béen signed to a big league contract, but there has been so much fuss over it that it isg't at all certain where he will draw his pay check next season. Jacinto Calvo, an outfielder, has been grabbed . by Detroit from the Northwestern league and will be given his first trial in fast company. Adolfo Loque and Emilio Palmero, both pitchers, are former big lea- guers who are now doing duty in the American Association, and another will join them when Pedro Dibut, a right-hand flinger, joins the Milwau- kee club next. spring. Rafael Al- melda probably will get a chance next season with the International lea- gue. He played third base for the Scranton New York State league club, and did it so well that Mon- treal exercised its option. Oscar Tuero, a right hand pitcher, is with the Eastern league, and Frank Munoz is in the North Carolina lea- gue. These Cubans . probably will be joined by others of their country af- ter John McGraw and several other prominent baseball men get through looking them over this winter. Sev- eral journeys to Cuba are under con- templation 'by baseball managers. MUTUEL PROFITS ARE LARGE Interesting Figures Concerning Hal- timore's Recent Racing. Profits accruing from the mutuel betting machines at the Maryland tracks have not been exaggerated. During the recent session of twenty- six days at Laurel it is estimated that the association's rake-off amounted to $300,000. This was equivalent to five per cent of the total Amount wagered by the public at the track. The breakage, which w: bout 1% per cent,, was paid for thé running expenses of the machines, while the gate receipts provided enotigh money to cover the value of the stakes and purses. ¢ The profits of the Havre de Grace meeting, which preceded Laurel, reached $150,000 net, it is said, while Pimlico, which closed perity. year, their profits probably will equal operations to the month of October.
