m'eovERN WOULD PLAY BALL
Asks McGraw for Place on the New
York National Team.

Detroit, Mich, Dec. 3O-When Man
ager Barrow. of the Detroit baseball
team. was in New York attending the
National league meeting recently. he
dropped into Madison Square garden
one evening with John McGraw. man
ager of the New York National league
team, and several other baseball lead
ers to watch the progress of the six
day bicycle race, which was on at that
time.
While the bike men were whizzing
around the track at terrific speed and
every one of the thousands who crowd
ed the enormous structure was watch
ing the exciting Struggle, slight figure
stole into the box which the baseball
men occupied, and a. small voice whis-
pered in "Muggsy'' McGraw's ear, Say,
Mr. McGraw, give me job playing
second base next year, will your Man
ager Barrow heard the visitor and
Govern, ex-champion featherweight
prize fighter, earnestly imploring the
New York manager for place on the
infield of the Giants for the coming
season.
You'll never be sorry if you sign
me for that second base job" said
Terry. 81 can play the game good
enough for fast company"
why don't you try to get on in some
minor league team?" asked Barrow.
There are plenty of jobs open in the
small leagues and you ought to be a
big card in that company.
Il want to play with the Giants"
said the former Brooklyn terror. why
haven't I just as much license to cover
second base for big league team as
Kid Gleason or any other of the stars.
l don't think a baserunner would come
running into me very hard when he
knows have two ready dukes to de-
fend myself with, besides the regular
ball players spikes. I ought to be
great on second and I have always been
able to do something in the way of
batting
AS matter of fact Terry McGovern
is a very clever ball player, but not
of the big league stamp. He can cover
lots of ground around the infield and
is sure of thrown balls. His greatest
weakness is throwing. according to
Barrow. TERRY is muscle-b bound in
the right shoulder and 1 am of the
opinion says Barrows, that the ex-
champion lost his famous punch by
the muscles of his right shoulder be-
coming bound up. He is, of course a
strong boy and of remarkable quick
ness, just such an athlete as good ball
players are made of, but his weak
throwing renders him as useless to a
ball club as his weak punches do to a
fight manager who is looking for a
winner"
McGovern left the party without
signing a contract for 1904

RESIDENTS COMPLAIN.

Independence, Kan, Dec. S0-The
Western Torpedo company has paid
fine in court of 500 and $40 costs. They
violated the city ordinances by allow
ing wagons to stand on the TOWNSHIP
loaded with nitro glycerine over night.
It has been expected for some time
that the nitro glycerfne men were not
paying proper respect to the ordinance
that forbids the deadly explosive to
be hauled about the streets, but it was
not easy to get certain facts upon
which to act.
The Stone barn has been the place
where the nitro glycerine wagons put
up, and the idea that there might be
cans Of explosive in the wagons while
standing in the barn was not pleasant
20 the property owners in that vicinity.
The other evening John Hebrank be-
came thoroughly satisfied that there
was nitro glycerine in a Western Tor
pedo company wagon that had just
come in, and he at once notified Mar
shall Morgan and a raid was deter
mined upon.
The marshal. with Street Commits
sioner Allen, went to the barn and pro-
ceeded to make an examination. They
found five glycerine wagons in the
barn, three belonging to the Western
Torpedo company, and two belonging
to the Kansas Torpedo company In
one Of the Westerns wagons was found
two eight quart cans filed with the
explosive In the Kansas company's
wagons were only cans that had been
emptied. but one of them contained a
little nitro glycerine, perhaps six or
eight tablespoons full, enough to do a
great deal of damage if exploded, while
the explosion of the four gallons in
the Western company's wagon would
probably have destroyed several city

The BRIDGE PROJECTS.
one Already Assured and Two Others
Practically so.


That our citizens are very much
interested in the subj ject Of bridges
is fully disclosed by the alacri'y
with which they are contributing
to the fund for the erection OF
thres at an estimated cost Of near
$4,000. The only feature which
may interfere with the erection Of
all three structures is the fact that
each bridge is being solicited tor
and looked after singly. If II is
adjudged judicious to put two
bridges across Big Cabin and one
across Little Cabin the funds
ought to he raised and the matter
of specific location left with the
board OF trade, or its successor,
the townsite association. The
greatest good to the greatest mum.
Der should be the rule and that is
equivalent to saying that Vinita
would thus be best served. 1t Is
not unreasonable that a man
would be willing 70 contribute
more literally for bridge on a
particular road, but all who are
interested 10 the town ought to
contribute to some extent, no mat
ter where located.
Oae OF the proposed bridges is
to be on Lee Barrett's place-th e
road on which all our coal comes
to town. It's estimated length II
IS feet, with approaches of 30 feet
on one side of the stream and ~
on the other; to cost $500. One at
the Howie ford would need be
100 fees long with approaches 10
and 80 feet, and cost 81, 400. Al
