In the course of an interview in the
Springfield Republican, President
Shively makes the following statement
in regard to Umpire Guthrie: Il know
that there is much kicking against
Guthrie - said President Shiyely. but
he, is the best umpire in the associa-
ton He has missed but one game
since he was put to work and this was
caused by ,belated train. He is not
a 'boozer' either. and knows the game.
OF course his manner in walking and
speaking appear tough to the specta-
tors. but this does not warrant his be-
ing mobbed."

According to notices which have
appeared in the press of the Western
past ten days, President Zip O'Neill
of the Western league has been alb
senting himself from that circuit for
some time and has been working on
plans for the formation of an eight
circuit next season. He is planning
to take in, Topeka and although he
was defeated once is working as hard
as ever.

At the conclusion of tonight's game
every team in the league has made
two trips around the circuit and has
played two series on the home
grounds with every other team in the
league. Forty-two games still remain
on the schedule for each team, TWEEN
ty-one, at home and twenty-one on
the road. Nearly every team, how
ever, is behind a game or two. To-
peka. has four games to be played off.
Two of these are with Springfield on
the latter's grounds. One game is still
left for the locals at Joplin and an
other for the locals on the home
grounds with the Miners. This leaves
but twenty-five games to be played on
the local grounds and one series of
three games each with every team in
the league.

The Electric Road.

We. have in our last two issues
published the city list of persons
who have subscribed to the cleo
trio railway proposition. Peo-
pie who have read the list have
noted the absence from il of the
names of some OF our leading
merchants and heaviest property
owners. And the people, in
making a reckoning, are going
to remember just who failed to
come to the front and help the
matter along.
We want to say right here
that the money is going to be
raised, and the road is going to
be built /; but just so sure as the
sun rises those fellows who are
able to help the enterprise along.
and refuse to do so, are going to
suffer far more than what the
amount of their subscription
should have been. There is no
good excuse for a man being a
hog, but unfortunately Baxter
lSprings has several OF them
Men who owe the people of Bax-
ter Springs for their prosperity
uen who own a large amount OF
property here men who are am
ply ably-have not Clipped in a
cent, notwithstanding the fact
that the successful termination
of this enterprise means doub-
ling of the values of their hold
ings. Men who would be large
lly benefited in a business way
have refused, on some mighty
flimsy preteXts, to subscribe a
cent. But they will lose in the
long run, for we want to say
right here that the matter is GO
| ing to be aired, and aired right.
People have the right to know
who have been solicited, and the
committee, when the work is fin
ished, is going to prepare a list
| of all who were solicited, and
that list is going to be given
wide publicity. People have the
right to know who are their
friends, and they also have the
right to know who are public
spirited. And they will know.
>The building of this road
and we want to say again. it is
going to be built-is going to
mean a great deal to Baxter
Springs. 1t will be the cause OF
doubling the population within
twelve months +; it will increase
the value of property, because it
is going to make demand for
property. 1t will do a lot OF
good in hundreds of ways.
The securing of the road is a
big burden to a lot of the little
fellows who have come to the
front to get it =; and while it has
not yet cost the hogs very much,
mark our prediction, it will.
The matter will be closed up
in a few days. Contracts for the
building of the road will be made
we think, some time this week.
The glory of getting the road
will belong to the little fellows,
and they are going to get some
of the beaefits arising from it.
The bigger fellows are going to
wonder about some things, but
they will find out all about it a
little later on. We say bigger
fellows, but we should say small
Ter.
Anyway, Baxter Springs will
have an electric road this year
You may put peg here.
