CARDINALS MANAGER

John Mocloakoy. tho new manager OF the

that ne Will have no moro authority than

The Rooisons havo made him understand
that they intend 70 select players for the team

ed their new manager that the selection Of
players was In their hands exclusively, and that
no would have no authority until the season
opened.
LAloCioskey's position Is unique among base
ball managers. He Is probably the only official
IN the country stripped OF the, power to got
players after his own heart. Imagine Hughey

With this handicap McS1oskey cannot be held

Especial TO The Times Dispatch)
ASHLAND, VA, Jan. 22--At called
meeting of the Town Council of Ashland
on Friday night Mr.. John d. Harris. of
Philadelphia, submitted a proposition to
the town OF Ashland regarding sever
age. water supply anu gas. which they
now have under adyisement. Mr.. Har-
ris was for q number of years o. con-
structing and mechanical engineer of the
Pennsylvania Railroad but is now asso-
ciated with an organization OF Philadel-
phia capitalists. who construct water
gas and sewer Systems In small towns.
It, Mr.. Harris is now in Virginia for the
purpose Of starting such systems in q
number of small towns.
The town of Ashland is asked to grant
an exclusive franchise for q period OF
years for an up-to-date water, sewer
and gas system. Mr.. Harris made very
clear and interesting proposition, stasing
that 1t would require about two years tc
complete the system; that the condi
tons at Ashland are not difficult. and
! making 1t very clear that 1t will be bu
q short time before the town Will be
forced to take some action on these i'm.
portant subjects II the population in.

vice here would cost about 50 per yea,
per family, and that the advantages tc
be derived from the use OF gas for heat
ing and cooking, aside from lighting
purposes, would Ire most favorable.
It is proposed to construct the system
thus by private parties. at their own ex-
pense, subject to the approval of the
Town Council. but only under an exclu-
sivei franchise. The town will have the
privilege Of purchasing the system at
any time at cost. with ten per cent.
added.
Committees and engineers will shortly
be appointed to investigate the matter
and to make reports on the subject. The
subject is now fully stirred up, and
prompt action will no doubt be taken.

cal. the little cigar-shaped car was timed
by several club members.
The day was a perfect one, with hard
beach and brisk wind, but the delay
of several racers and their cars made It
necessary to begin the races tomorrow.
During the day most of the cars were
weighed. One or two went over their
class weight, and had to be stripped.
Weighing in will be allowed up to rea-
sonable time before the race.
The Vanderbilt $50 horsepower racer
was brought out of the garage to-day

tho principal topic of discussion. Present
