signed by Vernon D. Grave and 562
others.
The agitation for the improvement
of this road has been up for several
months and the West Richmond I'M

sponsible for the action taken. The
road could be built under the pro-
visions of the three mile gravel road
law, which recently was affirmed by
the Indiana Supreme court.

of the petition also seems to assure
its success.
The cost of the road would be con-

ception Of Main street In the petition,
1t is set forth that the petitioners
would like a roadway forty-six feet
wide, paved with crushed stone and
on either side cement retainer, SIM

with tarvia or some other equally good
binding material, which also makes a
dust proof surface.

Any one who doesn't think there is
money in base ball in Cuba may be
convinced by the latest offer. The Ha-
vana park proffers $1,000 in cash,
round-trip tickets for the entire team
and all hotel bills while in Havana to
any club that will spend the month of
March training there. The club can
carry any number of players up to 20
men.
Fred Lake, the new manager of the
Doves, has returned to Boston from
Pittsburg with an unmistakable
crouch. He says he tried to make sew
eral trades while in the Smoky city,
but that other managers held him up in
road agent fashion. Lake is not an eX.
ception to the general rule. Nearly
every manager in the big leagues who
is anxious to strengthen his team has
discovered that there is no charity in
base ball. So many team handlers
have been goldbricked in past deals
that the average offer to trade players
is regarded with suspicion.
The best argument against the adop-
ton of the 16S-game schedule by the
National League, as used by conserva-
tive base ball men, is the fact that in
spite of the opening of the worlds
series last fall October 8 and the wind
up Ocotber 16 the weather was entirely
too cold for comfort in many of the
games. AS a result it is pointed out
that if the worlds series this yaer does
not begin until after October 16 the
weather may be so unfavOrable that a
fair test OF the rival pennant winners
relative strength may not be possible
while the attendance and receipts may
fall off to an alarming degree.
John l. Taylor of the Boston team is
preparing a speech for his ball players
on ciragettes and here it is:
IF the players will promise to a man
to cut out the paper smokers until the
end of the base ball season l will agree
to furnish the cigars for the team from
April II to October 4. And these all
night poker session that oftentimes
take place on the long trips from Bos-
ton to the western cities must be cut
down. Too much of the midnight oil
hnrts the eyesight. and, last of all, is
abstinence from the light and heavy
drinks Too much of even the light
drinks will make a player loggy and
heavy and unfit to play ball"
