KILLING THE GAME
Plans Shape for Burial of the
National Pastime Here,
This Season.
KNOCK OUT LEAGUE BALL

Richmond is the only city of it's size
in the middle west, probably in the en-
tire country, that it not represented in
some professional base ball league.
The fans here long for league ball, but
they sign in vain, so far as the Rich
mond Amusement company, which
controls the lease on Athletic Park, is
concerned. This organization will
this year again attempt to cram indie
pendent baseball down the threats of
the Disguised lovers of the sport This
operation was attempted last year. but
with poor results, as the company dis
banded its outfit of relics before the
season was a third over.
This year the company. which has
no desire to repeat the independent
baseball experiment, on it's own hook
again, but which still desires to keep
Richmond off the professional baseball
map, will lease its plant, probably, to
either Dayton semi-pro manager,
named Huckens. or to a colored team
the Giants. A decision will be reach
ed at meeting tomorrow night.
Richmond. as baseball town, got
a knockout last year. Verify. it ap
pears the plans have been shaped this
season for burial. Grade papers for
undertakers please copy.

DESIRES SELL BARN
E. G. Hill & Company Make
Offer to City, But Price
Regarded Steep.
SECURE DUMPING GROUND

Fred Lemon, in behalf of the E. G.
Hill Floral Company, appeared at the
office of the board of works this morn
ing and requested that the city either
buy the barn owned by Mr.. Hill. which
is located on the citys property, ad-
joining Glen Miller park. or order it's
removal. The ground, consisting of
about two acres. has been rented by
Mr.. Hill for some time for $50 year.
However the lease expired the first of
the year. Several years ago Mr.. Hill
bought the barn from the city for 1925.
ne has since made extensive improve
ments, however, and now asks $500
for the structure. The city feels that
this price is too high. The matter
was taken under advisement by the
board The ground will probably be
converted into plot to be used for the
purpose of raising food for the animals
in the glen.
The board approved the agreement
to rent the vacant lot at the corner of
liam Grottendick for $25 year, the
place to be used by the city as a
dumping ground where snow may be
hauled during the winter. Gravel and
ashes will also be dumped on that lot
despite the fact that it is one of the
principal corners of the city.
A petition was presented to the
board signed by William H. Peterson,
requesting that a cement sidewalk be
Second street between Main and B
streets and for curb and gutter on
both sides of South Second street
from Main to A streets. The matter
was taken under advisement.
