MCBRIDE GETS GIDDY.
Extra Pirates InfieIder Tells What
He viii Do.

Pittsburg, Pa, July George Nc
Bride, the extra Pittsburg infielder,
about whom there has been some talk
regarding a trade to st. Louis for
Brain, stood UP in class and made a
speech, saying he would not go to St
Louis. Then after having his say, the
same Mcbride went out to the third
base corner of the field and put up a
game of ball that would have made
angels weep. Mcbride, who has taken
a hand in debating where he shall be
sent made two errors out of three
chances. His first error a tumble, was
responsible for Cincinnati getting her
three runs. as he should have retired
the side. On his next error the bases
filed, but a double play saved Pitts
burg. Mcbride earlier in the day said:
tsI won't go to St. Louis, that is, not
| If I can help it. I saw the gang get
after Davy Brain there and roast him
most numerically when he was play
ing fine ball. 1 don't want any of that
crowd in mine. I have told Mr. Drey-
fuss that I will not go to St LOUIS
The Pittsburg club is said to have
intimated to Mcbride that he will go
somewhere. and. soon. perhaps back to

Britt Accuses Nelson.

San Francisco. Cal, July 6.-Willie
Nelson has misled the eastern people
about the agreement between Britt

prohibited Britt from engaging in any
thing except six round fights, while the

and Harry Corbett held the only
articles signed by both men, and

It seems rather strange to the ordi
nary fans that men like Dutch Persch,
Charley Stewart and Alderman are ar
bitarily released from the White Sox
and simply set adrift without the man
agement getting a single particle of
compensation. Sedalia gobbled up
Persch in a hurry. Joplin had the wires
hot in an effort to get him. Guthrie
took Alderman before the ink had dried
on his release, and Armstrong of Leay-
'enworth almost had fits because he did
not get the fast left-hander. Now
Stewart goes in the same way. Some
body will probably have him in pretty
short order. 1t would appear at least
to the common, dinky fan, to the fellow
who pays his quarter and roots for the
home team, that If the Sox are SO badly
in need of more Force and vim
that such good material as the three
released within the past few weeks,
ought at least bring to something on
the baseball market in the shape of a
trade. To just let them slip away for
nothing does not look like good business
sense.
Paul Companion will probably be the
White Sox fourth pitcher if Captain
Blackburn succeeds in landing him as
he expects to. He is now with Sioux
City in the Western League and is
pitching great ball. Because of dissatis-
faction he wants to get away. and

CRUSHED STONE ON STREETS OF ENSLEY Work Was Begun on Avenue E
 Yesterday SIDEWALKS BEING PAVED Mayor Scott Is Devoting a Great Deal of Time to the Improvement of
 the Thoroughfares of
 His City.

| Ensley, October, 26.-(Special. .)-Crushed limestone is being placed on Avenue E and will be extended over the entire length of the street in the business part of the city.
 The material makes a very fine paving and the improvement being made is very much appreciated by the people. The work of putting down the paving on Ave nue F began at Nineteenth street today. | Seventeenth street has already been treated with the material and when the work Is completed on Avenue E, other | streets and avenues in the business cen- | tre of the city vii be paved with the , same material.
 l One hundred and fifty car loads of the l crushed limestone was purchased by the l city as an experiment and if it proves successful, and it has so far more will | be secured and the work continued until nearly all the streets are put in good | condition.
 l The paving is clean and makes a firm roadbed which dries out quickly after a | rain.
 l Considerable work Is being done on the streets and sidewalks of Ensley just now i and much more is planned for the near | future Cement sidewalks are being built in several sections of the city and an ordinance was passed at the last meeting of the city council providing for the paving of the sidewalks on Twenty | first, Twenty and Twenty-third | streets from Avenue c to Avenue I. This work will begin at an early date and will be pushed to as early completion as pos | sble.
 | When these walks have been put in good shape practically all the sidewalks | in the main part of the city will be in | frst-class condition. | More improvements have been made on the streets of Ensley during the past year than any other year in the history of the city and the people feel that they have the best paved streets and side walks of any city the age and size of Ensley in the state of Alabama.
 Mayor Scott devotes a great deal of his time and attention to the improve ment of the streets and sidewalks and is being ably assisted by the members of the street committee of the city council MT Scott takes great pride in the improve ment of his city.
 Two New Wagons.
 J. H. Sheldon. manager of the Snow Flake laundry in this city has just had two new wagons built for his laundry business.
 They are very handsome and well built vehicles and are the handiwork of W. A. Kinney, local wagon-maker.
 
 The Snow Flake laundry now has four wagons in service. The people of Ensley are proud of the success that is being made by this, one of its small industrial plants.
 MT. Sheldon issued an order today clos ing the laundry next Monday to allow all the employees to attend the state fair | The employees will be given the entire day.
