WORK FOR GREATER PADUCAH

The Sun is pleased 10 give space to
the following item from the pen of a
gentleman much interested in the
progress and welfare of Paducah:
What is the matter with Paducah
Where is the civic pride, energy and
public spirit that should be display
ed in town the size of Paducah
Favored as we are, most graciously
by natural conditions we should be
far ahead of what We are today. Pa.
ducah should be famous the country
over for her progressiveness. public
spirit and civic pride. For some in
applicable reason these virtues seem
TO be almost completely lacking in
many of our citizens.
Paducah through the Commercial
club has been making an effort to
interest the public and advance the
interest of the city and endeavor to
keep pace with the rest of the coun-
try.
Many members of the Commercial
club have been making AN earnest
effort to interest the citizens of Pa
ducah in the work they have under
taken and to excite the civic pride
and public spirit which in so many
seems to be utterly lifeless. Too ma
ny citizens seem willing to profit by
the labor and progressiveness of
their neighbors. II is a humiliating
and deplorable fact that these con-
ditions exist. The time is ripe to
greatly advance our city's interest
and toxin a large measure add to
the happiness and prosperity of ev-
cry individual in the city of Padu-
cab. IL is for the citizens to grasp
the opportunities and wake up to
self-interests and do something
The failure of so many otherwise
worthy citizens 10 display any inter
est whatever in matters of public
interest retards and hampers the
substantial growth of our beautiful
city.
II is said the Commercial club
has received applications from peo-
pie representing various enterprises
who desire to locate here, and take
part in the great business affairs
that are slowly Increasing our bus
mess and social Importance, In spite
Df the lack OF civic pride and public
spirit of so great number OF our
people
Some large enterprises that would
'e of great importance TO the city
ave approached the Commercial
Tub with view of locating in Padu-
ali but on account of the fact that
o substantial announcement can be
ffered. these enterprises are forced
, seek locations and business en-
elsewhere,

PRACTICE OF BARONS
 BEST THEY HAVE HAD

The practice of the Barons yesterday they commenced last Monday afternoon. and Manager Vaughan was very much pleased. It was possible yesterday to get better line on the men than any prev ions day, as the weather was excellent for practice and the team was in fairly good shape for the men to play their re- spective positions.
 Hafford, the third baseman, was the new man that was watched most care fully by the fans. From the time he ap- peared on the diamond until the after noon's work was over the 300 devotees present watched his work anu criticized him, pro and con.
 It is naturally too early to decide any thing about a player. but it is not too early to say that he looks good. While at the bat practlcing hitting he landed on the ball for some of the prettiest drives of the afternoon. The first three or four times he put the ball on a line drive over the second basemans head The next few times he put the ball down the third base line, the place where he usually hits.
 In the field he appeared to be fast. lie handled himself we'll and was very fast in hIs fielding. In throwing to first he was trlfle wild yesterday afternoon, but 1t was the first day. He has good arm and puts the ball over to Harry on q line.
 Fred Moore did some pretty fielding yes terday afternoon He made. several sensa- tional stops in the neighborhood of sec ond base. and the. fans applauded liber- ally There Is no disputing the fact that he is there on the fielding, and around

DIVER AND MONROE
 NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT
MATCH IS ARRANGED BETWEEN THESE TWO MEN, WHO HAVE ALREADY MET HERE BEFORE. FORFEIT PLACED.

A forfeit has been placed with the sporting editor of The Age-Herald by Prof Mike Dwyer and Jack Monroe for a straight Greco o-Roman wrestling match at the Birmingham Athletic club next Fri day night.
 The agreemen. is to be drawn up today and signed by the two wrestlers and the club. It was understood last night that the strangle hold would be barred from the match and that there should be none of the roughness displayed the other time when the two men met. The referee is to have power to decide the mat oh against either of the men who display unnecessary roughness.
 Both men will go into training at once for the match. Dwyer shows a great deal of gameness in meeting Monroe at this peculiar style, as Monroe Is his superior in strength However Dwyer Is the quicker of the two men and knows more about wrestling.
 Last night Monroe challenged the win ner of the match, and also challenged Dwyer, win or lose. The latter challenge was accepted promptly and the forfeit money was placed.

HE MAY OFFER MRS.
 GORDON POSITION
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT Is KNOWN TO HAVE ASKED IF HE COULD DO ANYTHING FOR THE WIFE OF GENERAL GORDON.

Atlanta, March 10-(SpeciaI)-Is Mrs. John B. Gordon, widow of the famous Confederate war leader and one of Geor- gia's governors, slated for Federal posi- ton under President Rooseyelts adminis- tration?
 That the President is considering the appointment of Mrs Gordon to remun- erative Federal office, possibly that of postmaster of Atlanta, Is an assured fact. It is possible, of course that Mrs. Cor don does not care for. nor would accept political appointment. but President Roosevelt Is known to have the appoint ment in mind
 In recent conversation with a promi- nent Georgia republican, the name of Mrs. Longstreet, widow of another famous Con federate general, was mentioned and the fact spoken of that she had been ap- pointed to a Federal position, that of postmaster of Gainesville.
 What about Mrs. John B. Gordon?' the President is known to have asked. Does she need any position? It would give me the greatest of pleasure to pro- vide for the widow of the Great Georgia general, if she needs position. General Gordon was my personal friend, and was one of the greatest of all Americans,' the President said

Driven From Both Cities.

New Chwang. March 1O.-According to reliable information received here the Rrssians have been driven out of Muk- den and Fushun and. with the railroad cut. are retreating in demoralized con d'tion to the hill country toward the northeast.
 Detached bodies of Russians are rough iv entrenching with a view to checking the pursuit but no great rear guard ac- ton is being fought.
 It will be impossible for the Russians to keep up any sort of resistance for many days as there are no means of provisioning in the rough country through which they are retreating.
 It Is believed the Russians may at- tempt to reach Kerin. twenty-five miles northeast of Mukden through the val leys, but q special Japanese corps from the direction of the Yalu river (probably General Kamamura forces) threatens to cut them off.
 General Kuroki Is advancing northwest and is forcing the Russians against General Nogis army
 The casualties on both sides have been enormous. The Russians sixteenth army corps was practically annihilated at Tatchekiao. Eight thousand Russians fell at Liukuanpao.

short he will make any of the previous occupants look like dirty deuce in a new deck. In other words he is just about 20 per cent faster than Tamsett was at this time last year, and faster than the erstwhile shortstop was at any stage of the game last year. At the bat yes- terday he did well. While the team was practicing batting he got several prety line drives, any one of which was good for single. He says that he Is show ing up better In batting now than he ever has before.
 All the pitchers were given a turn in the box yesterday afternoon and Man ager Vaughan watched them all closely. He paved particular attention to Dessau. getting out in the diamond back of him and watching his work very carefully, also advising him every now and then about his pitching. Dessau was wild yes- terday. and he needs to get little better control. and he is working for that now. His speed and curve is good now. and with q little better control he will be in fine condition for this stage of the game.
 Rip Reagan worked out for n while yes- terday and had speed. curves and control. His arm looks to be in about as good shape as it was any time during last season, and Manager Vaughan allowed him to turn loose yesterday afternoon and put speed behind the balls
 Tommy Matthews appeared to good ad- vantage. This youngster. although light has q good arm on him and controls the ball well. He has not yet been allowed to put much ginger behind the ball. but will work into that this week, or the first part of next. Pylant and Wagner were also in the box for q while yester- day and both seem to be in good condi- ton. Pylant's arm seems better than il was last year.
