HAVE THE MASS MEETINGS.


MASS meetings will 'bc held in Mt
least two wards of the city this
week for the purpose of giving tho
voters an opportunity to express
their views upon the question of
how the money derived from the
proposed bond issue Of 100000 for
permanent street improvements shall
be spent, IN case IT is decided to
issue the bonds. 1t would be wise
move ON the part OF council
men in all the wards TO call such
meetings, and every voter and prop
erty owner who can do SO sho,rld
respond to the call.
Under the bill authorizing the Is
suancc of tho Ihonds, the money that
may he derived must be divided
between the -four wards. The coun.
ell as n body is vested with the
night to say how the money shall
be spent, but 1t has been agreed
that The members representing tho
respective wards shall be allowed
to decide upon the nature of the
improvements TO be made in their
territory.
Many citizens, especially those
living in certain PORTIONS of the
city, DO not want street paving.
Some favor spending the entire
amount allotted to their ward in
ctn'bing and guttcrlng. Others want
macndam with curbing and gutter
ing, while maaly want some kind of
permanent paving. In North End
particularly, there is a demand for
paving. The people OF that sec.
ton think that above all things
Huntington avenue should be paved
out to the city limits, to meet The
read which. the county Is building to
the limits.
With such diversity of opinion,
II seems essential that the voters
and property owners should have
an opportunity to communite their
desires to their representatives in

provided for this by adopting an
ordnance instructing the clerk to

| first baseman to take the position.
The change in the management of
! the team was made on account of the
extreme unpopularity of the present
management during the past few weeks.
| The attendance has fallen down and
the team has not been making very
much money for their owners, if any.
1t was because of the these conditions
that the management was turned over
to Abbott. After a conference between
Secretary Fred Robins and Dick Cooley
in Kansas City it was decided that a
change was necessary and Cooley sug-
gested the appointment of Abbott
which suggestion was carried out by
President Grow this morning.
When Cooley was here about three
weeks ago he expressed to his friends
much disappointment at the way IN
which things were going. He stated
that in his estimation the team was a
much stronger one than the one with
which he Won the pennant on the pre-
vious season and that the pitching staff
was as good as any in the league:
However, he stated that he would not
make any changes at that time but
would wait and see if things with the
local team did not take better turn.
AS they did not his action in suggesting
a change was not unexpected by his
friends.
Hurlburt took charge of the local
team May 16, when the season was two
weeks old. At that time the team had
a percentage of .636. Since then the
which gives 1t percentage at the
present time of .538. During Hurlburt's
captaincy the team has aggregated
percentage of .526.
Abbott takes charge of the team
With the good wishes of every baseball
fan in town. 1t was with reluctance
that he accepted the position, but
Crow finally prevailed upon him to do
It. He has had experience in manag-
ing players and can probably handle
the team as we'll as any member OF
the White Sox. His past experience
Will help him and will show him where
he made mistakes before. He is very
we'll liked by every member of the
team and will have them all playing
good ball for him He was with
Cooley on the local team a while last
year, long enough to learn some OF the
main points in handling players ana
will try to emulate his example as far
as possible This will please the fans.
AS a player Abbott has made a great
record this season He is leading the
team in hitting and is putting up
great game at first base. For over
forty games this season he did not
make a bobble. which is saying a great
deal for a first baseman where there
are more chances to handle than at
any other position There is. still
good chance to finish in second place.
The season lasts about a month
longer.
Captain Abbott said this morning
that there were to be no changes made
in the local team at the present time.
enough as it is and in this his judg-
ment will meet with the approval or
the fans. Hurlburt will stay with the
team and hold down his old position
in centerfield for the present at least
When Wooley returns to the team
some change may be made, as there
will be four outfelders then what
may happen at that time Is mercy
