WESTERN ROUTES
 TO HOT SPRINGS
Two Lines Have Projects That Vii Make the Vapor City More Aces sible From the Other Side
 Mena Line Best Route.
From the Gazette.

From the Gazette.
 The 'out-of.the- wayness" of Hot Springs, bids fair to be cot rected by the entrance Of two railroad lines, one from the west and the other from the southwest. Resorters invariably come away from Arkansas great watering place with the impression that it IS a unique city of oue street, tucked snugly into a narrow cove ot the Ozarbs, but worthy of little consideration as a commer- cial center, principally because of its inaccessibility by rail from all directions but the east. All this IS to be changed.
 Two projects offer relief to the resort city.
 The first is the proposed road from Hot Springs directly west ward up the valley of tue Ouachi- ta to Mena ca the man line oi the Kansas City Southern. When this is built it will give the City .of Vapors direct passenger and freight connection with Fort Smith, Kansas City aud all of the territory to the west of those cities, al advantage that It has never thus far enjoyed.
 Already F. F. Treadway, president of the Oaachita Con. struction Company, has stated that tue building of the road is a certainty, and that plans will b. ready within a month. Presi- dent Ireadway and Chief Engin eer Gilbert expect 10 make an inspection of the route at once, and will be able to render def- mite report within few days
 The Hot Spriugs-Mena road has the advantage If the Ouach iia rIver valley, which break straight througe the Ozarks from the vicinity of Mena east ward to Hot Springs before 1t turns into into its southeastern course. By following this stream from a direct east and west course, vast expense iu grading can be saved, as the river valley affords natural pass through the mountains.
 The right of way of the De Queen Eastern, however. which proposes to extend it's line from Lone Star into Hot Springs, would have no natural grade to follow, and the fixed titanic pillows of the Ozarks. whose troughs lie in general from east to west, would have to be breast ed by heavy grades and deep fills. This difficulity is by no means insurmountable, and about 35 miles of the road is already in operation from De Queen to Lone Star. From the eastern tefmi- nus at the last named point to
 Hot Springs is only about 50 miles, and a few months con- struction wotk would span the gao. An extension of the road is also planned from De Queen through Oklahoma to Paris, l Tex, and this, if built, would open Hot Springs to direct com muu;cat:ou with d vast terri tory in the southwest.

Interesting tales are current
as to why BILLY" Lush, coach
Of the Yale baseball and basket
ball teams, has had his job put
in danger. Some say the reason
is that Yale desires graduate
coaching. but the story most
generally believed Is that Lush
Is slated for Punishment because
he tried TO induce Tad" Jones
to become a professional, warm
ly advocating his acceptance OF
an offer from the Cleveland
Americans.
Jones Is captain OF the base
ball team, and II Is said has
looked so favorably on the offer
made by the Cleveland club, OBJ

Pursuant TO the rule OF the national
commission. the Detroit baseball club
has filed with President Hermann at
Cincinnati a request that the other
clubs OF the league waive claim on the
following players:
Catcher irwin.
OutfieIder Beschar.
Third 5aseman Morgan.
Shortstop Busch.
Pitcher chIesman.
Pitcher YlngIlns.
First 6aseman Carr.
In case the waivers are secured

over to the Dayton club, OF the Cen
trail league: Carr and Busch are book
ed for indianapolis: Chiesman will be
turned over TO the Saginaw club. OF
the Southern Michigan, and Morgan
will go back TO his old job at Mon
treal
The case OF Catcher Irwin Is the
only one concerning which there has
been doubt. Several clubs are after
him. and II would be no surprise II he
were turned over to the YOUNGSTOWN
club of the Tri-State league. In all
probability Detroit will eventually put
through some sort OF an arrangement
whereby It will retain an option on his
services.

expect that the coaching he will give
our young pitchers will be well worth
the expenditure. We won't tender

us and get into shape while on the
lookout for some managerial position.
The Dayton folks let him out at a
hard time for him TO secure another
position right off the reel"
The possibility OF temporarily Sc
