Lumlsx Is Best Baseball Asset.

Lumley Is one Of the most highly
valued ball players In the world. He
belongs to the Brooklyn club Of the
National league, and his worth has 30
increased during the past three years
that he has brought the Long Island
organization out of the mlre and put 1t
on paying basis. From the manner
In which the club hangs on to him 1t Is
estimated that he actually represents
$4,000 Of the clubs assets.
Fabulous sums have been offered for
the great star by the other rich clubs
of the league, and they have all been
turned down. During the past two
seasons there Is not a club In the en-
tire organization that has not made
some proposition to Owner Ebbets for
this man. The amount Of money In
some of these offers would represent
the entire value Of many ball clubs In
the minor leagues.
Ever since Charley Murphy took hold
of the Chicago National club he has
been In a redhot chase for Lumley. A
year ago this winter Murphy spent the
greater part Of a week In New York
trying to put over a deal whereby he
could land Lumley to play with the
Cubs. The New York club has made
almost unprecedented offers to land
him for the big Gotham tribe, and

others have been in the push to grab

Po.aidon a Great Horss.

In farofr Australia, where the sea
sons are opposite to ours, horsemen
are singing the praises Of Posedon, by
Positano-Jacinth. He has just accom-
plished winning the triple" events
the Derby, Caulheld cup and the Mel
bourne cup. No horse Of his age for
years ever won these three big features
before.
Poseidon Is considered a worthy sue
cessor to Carbine. the great race horse
that won the Melbourne cup, with las
pounds up. from forty-three opponents.
Since then Carbine's progeny In Aus
tralia and England have made his
name still more famous.
When Posedon won the Caulfleid cup

four his jockey. I. Clayton, sat perfect
" still, and never once was the colt
touched with the whip. Considering
that the fields In both the cups lnclud-
ed all the quality" of the common

justified when they describe Poseidon
as standing ont boldly as one Of the
best three ear-olds seea out for many
seasons"

Municipal Journal and Engineer. Pro-
fessor Zueblin would have the city by
Its regularly constituted bodies Or

out definite plan Of action, a plan
that would provide for parks, sewers,

fng of the lawns, the prevention Of cor
porations from doing as they please in
tearing up streets, street car conges-
ton In the public square and hundred
and one everyday common sense rem
edles that most citizens have long been
aware of. yet fail to get at the founda-
tion of, for lack of general plan Of
action. Professor ZuebhH would have
the city fathers, official or real, decide
on what they want In the years to
come and then "go after It," so that the
future generations may take up the
work that has been started and carry.

ings" The impulse to improve must
have its beginnings in the public spirit
Of Z group Of townspeople. If the old
fashioned revival spirit, with Its enthu-
siasm for good works, can be awak-

followers.
The average suburban town masquer-

Of subdividing a farm and the con-
tract system OF building rows of inele-

trees and vines. Owing to the variable
quality of human nature 1t is folly to
hope that each villager viii do his
