BY EDWARD p. DUFFY.

Now that tine local amateur and semi
professional baseball season is about to
open, a few straight words of advice
might not be out of order. They ought
10 work for the benefit Of the boys and
Young men who play the game and for
The spectators. too. There Is all the
more reason for serious consideration
ri the local baseball situation, because
one tof the most suspicious seasons in
the history of the city is dawning.
In the first place. we will talk with
the boys. You lave never had such an
opportunity to play good baseball. In
stead pfSour hap ha&ard sort of games
witheteaJns That seldom have the same
pIaysrs for mo successive games. you
have a-chanr 10 iofh, school league
taaills where real live baseball Is played.
NN,u BOYS in the school leagues. even
though You are very young, pull Off
h~etter-hssebali than Young men did q
l. Gsisl yearS ago, In. organized baseball
4 like that you learn the game. BY the
4 time you are ready to leave the school
I Teams boyss.you will find that the lads
WHO leave with you are ready to con
tinue the team, as an amateur organ
s7isation. For example, look at the fast
Franklin A.. a., which is the outgrowth
HffHrffN - thSa'tAOs - my tit'a hiAoAs RbpiA-
schoo teams organized in this city.
Devote YOUR time to the school teams:
stick together, boys, and when you are,
out of school. do not listen to mage
who offer you a few cents to play with
thefr teams. BY sticking to your school
boy players in a year or two you will
be In Hfe FOR the 'flrst:class semi-pros
and eventually, II you care to play 1t,
professional baseball
And you semi-pros who look upon
these school leagues and the amateur
,tear1s that grow from them, lake care
to make your games better. Discour-
age rowdyism at ali times. Play the
rarie for what II is worth and giveI
zach man his due, neither undertaking
:fior oyerestimating his ability; both are
bad. Keep your scores properly and
have them published to encourage your
players. The STAR is always ready to
do that to help along the game.
Now that professional managers have
unrned their eyes toNard this Vicinity for.
Z Faeut-do not lose your. opportunity to np-
hold the. reputation Of the city. There are
some corking good players hereabouts, ii

mlttee

Unkind personalities were exchanged
in the supply committee meeting yester-

considering proposals to furnish the
citys hay
The trouble started whel Councilman
Dromgold, who is not a member of the
supply committee, endea""red 70 take
hand in the deliberations of that
body.
One of the bids for hay was submit
ted by d. p. F'lOry. CouHcilman Wren,
chairman of the supply committee, de-
clared he did not think Flory should
he considered as he had the contract
last year and large part of the hay
he delivered was so poor it had to be
sent back.
Dromgold was in the committee room,
reading a paper and overheard Wren 5

whats that!" he said, "Flory is a
friend of mine and you fellows arc
trying to put up a job on him. L
know more about this deal than you
think and I'm not going to see Flory
get the worst of 1t.
Get out of here!" invited Healy. who
is a member of the committee, this is
supply committee work we are doing
and you have no right to butt in"
"Go and attend to your land COM
n1ittee. You've enough TO keep you
busy there since the mayor got after
YOU" said Yonl1in, the third member
of the committee, with sarcastic en-
phasis. Yonkin unkindly referred to
the mayors calling attention TO the
high prices ordered paid fo- some Of
the engine house lots and by so doing
saved the city more than $4,000 On two
purchases.
Some other remarks of a similar
nature were exchanged, but the supply
committee deferred action on awarding
the hav contract.

Municipal Affairs
ARE DETERMINED TO
EXTEND LIQUOR ZONE
WHOLESALERS TO CIRCULATE
ANOTHER PETITION
First Documents Did Not Contain Re.
quired Number of Eligible Voters
to Compel Election for Pass
Ing on Question

Undiscouraged by the fact that their
two efforts to bring about a special
election TO extend the wholesale liquor
zone met with no success, the few IN
terested in the extension will circulate
another petition and ask that the ques-
tion of extending the zone be submit
ted to the people at the next general
election.
City Clerk Lelande has certified to
the circulators of the petition that their
demands did not contain the signatures
of a sufficient number of qualified elec-
tors to make it mandatory on the coun-
ell to submit the question of zone eX-
tension to the people.
1t was expected yesterday, because of
several matters on which the city clerk
and the circulators of the petition diff
fer, the case would be taken to court,
but the liquor men said yesterday they
would make no effort to contest the de-
cision Of the city clerk.
The first petition for the extension of
the zone was submitted with about 1000
signatures. But out of these 1000 names
the city clerk, in checking up with the
great register, could not find the num-
ber of eligible ones required by law.
Most of the signers were not registered,
and a large number of the signatures
were apparently fictitious.
Seven sections of the petition were
thrown out because the person who had
sworn to them was not himself a quail
fed voter, and some others were not
sworn to at ALL
Had these sections been certified
properly the petition might have proved
sufficient, and it was over these seven
sections that a legal contest was threat
ened.
The first petition was declared insult
ficient and the circulators submitted
another as an amendment, within the
ten days required by law, but the sec
ond document did not contain sigma
lures enough to make the petition valid.
