UTAH I Speaking of Sports 1 Bonus Ball Plavers BAD case of "every man for himself" aggravated by the bonus system is being blamed for the pathetic collapse of the Cleveland Indians in the drive for the American league pennant race.

But contracts without bonus provisions might have had a tendency to make the Indi... v ans more of a team. Most managers disapprove of the bonus system. It was tried with rather discouraging results by the Chicago Cubs a couple of seasons back. One of the most outspoken critics of the system is Burleigh Grimes, manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers. "Suppose," says Burleigh, "that a player signs a contract giving him $1,000 or $2,000 more if he hits .300 for the season.

There are a variety of answers, but if you sum them all up, you'll find the trouble is due to an ac1 cumulation of restrictions that have stacked the cards against the pitchers.

Iv W Nor does the mere statement of the case convey any idea of the seriousness of the situation. For it is unfortunate that diseased teeth and dental infections which may result from unchecked decay, seldom incapacitate the sufferer. Thus the victim does not become sufficiently alarmed to take the steps necessary to arrest the progress of the diseased condition. Yet a single decayed tooth might be compared to a poison factory, distributing its noxious products to every part of the body, and tooth decay may be indirectly responsible for rheumatic ailments, neuritis, dyspepsia or duodenal ulcers. It may even be a contributing cause of heart trouble.
