| There seems to be some ques
ton as to whether Michael Madden
ex-manager of the Brooklyn Ath
letic club base ball team, is presi
dent of the Junior Amateur Bas,
Ball league. Michael was unani
mously elected, but at the time o.
the election he was out OK town
When he returned and was Informed
that the managers wished HIM tc
take the presidency he did not care
to do so and requested them 20 make
another choice. The league'r schei l.
ule as sent to the Democrat had the
name william Madden" signed to
it.
There is reason why Willie
Wilcox, the letter carrier, is so alert
in Brooklyn the past .cw DAYS. He
has been chosen to manage the base
ball team that is to represent the
letter carriers association the COM
ing season and Is looking for games.
In view of the poor showing the nine
made last year, the players had
much difficulty in finding anyone to
assume the managerial responsibility
for the coming season, SO Wilcox ct
length consented to be manager.
Before Mr. Wilcox allows his team to
meet the Brooklyn business men he
will first arrange for them, that IS
the letter carriers, several practice
games; they will need them badly
Captain Kelly has taken on so much
weight that it is feared he may not
be able to get in condition for the
early games.

"how anyone can get the CONTRACT
away from Mr. Rigney. If the col
lection and disposal were in one
contract some one might nave a
chance, but as it is Rigney will have
it on all who compete. Moreover,
the contract should be awarded a
few weeks at least before the sue
cessful bidder is compelled to start
in on the job. When man does not
know whether he is to get the con-
tract how can he be prepared to
start to work on the day following
the opening of bids? The whole sys-
tenn is bad; otherwise | would be
tempted to make a bid for the JOB.

Because the moving man did
not come around, Charles Brusaikas
and family of North Riverside street
had no home last evening, and their
furniture lay in the street until an

Charles prepared for his coming.
Before noon he had everything in
readiness to be carted away to his
new domicile. Thinking that the
horses and wagon would be along at
