tative exposition in Berlin

q turers and business men
throughout the country are
displaying a lively interest in the un-
dertaking and applications for space
have been received by the American
committee from many states. The
indications are that every branch OF
American progress will be shown at
the exposition.
II is but natural that the United
States should seek to hold an All
American exposition in Europe for
our export trade in that direction has
reached splendid proportions and it
is constantly increasing. Our exports
to Europe for the year 1903 reached
the enormous sum of 81 ,210,o16. 1t
is also easily seen why the projectors
of the exposition selected Germany as
the country in which to hold 1t, for
that country alone receives s2T4118

Impetus has been given to the ex-
position enterprise by the recent ap-
pointment of former Governor David
X. Francis of Missouri to the Office of
first yice-president of the American
committee. Mr. Francis was pres !dent
of the st. Louis worlds fair in 1904

PUTNAM
Bound to Norwich, Joseph Myers Be-
comes III at Oxford and Grosvenor-

Plans for st. Patriek's Day-Bridae
Luncheon.

Joseph Myers, 81, formerly of Wor-
cester and Boston, was taken i'll with
what may have been a violent attack
of heart disease while on Putnam
bound car near Grosvenordale Thurs
day afternoon. His condition was ap-
parentiy so serious that a telephone
message was sent to Putnam to have
the ambulance of the Day-Kimball
hospital meet the car on its arrival
here. When the car arrived in Put
nam, however, Myers had so far re-
covered that he declined to go to the
hospital and continued on his way to
Norwich. where he is to visit a. broth
er. John Myers.
1t was later learned that the young
er Myers was similarly attacked with
illness at Oxford Heights Wednesday
and that it was necessary to summon
q physician to treat him at that time,
after which he was taken to Worces-
ter and committed to the city hospital
for treatment. Myers was taken in on
an electric car, raving about fast
horses in a way to indicate that he
is a lover of good horseflesh. At the
hospital he quickly regained a normRl
condition and was permitted to leave

IDEA OF LEAGUE.
What Southbridse Suggests About
Taking in Putnam and GrosvenordaIe


Here is a Southbridge mans idea
of a league to take in Putnam and
North Grosvenordale:
Felix f. st. George has started his
plans for the baseball season OF 1910.
He has secured a place for the games
this year. having made arrangements
with Albert 3. Sells for a large lot on
North street. 1t is the intention of
Mr.. st. George to form an athletic
association. He plans TO build a club
house, which may be used as a head
quarters for the sporting fraternity Of
the town.
The plans will also call for a track
on which the various athletic meets
will take place. Mr.. st. George also
contemplates forming a league among
the baseball teams in this vicinity.
The plans are for league OF six teams
which will include Southbridge, Web
ster, North Grosvenordale. Putnam.
and another team, which can be pick
ed from the towns in this vicinity.
Il is also planned to have these teams
made UP of all home players. as he
says this is the only way that the
relative merits of the towns can be
determined.
Mr.. st. George will start at once to
form the association. When the
towns will be called in to organize the
league.
Mr. St George said Thursday: Now
is the time to get things going. I
have the field on North street, and
am going TO FIX it UP In regal style.
when my plans are complete, this
town will lead the county in the sport
ing line.
IT am going to try and form an as
ISOLATION which will be a permanent
organization.
1--WE can build a nice club house
down there, and it will be a good
thing for the young men of the town.
All we want is a start and then we VIII
make things known"
There Is no chance for such a league
ever becoming a reality, at least not
as far as Putnam and North Gros-
venordaIe are concerned. Both these
towns will be represented in the East
ern Connecticut league again this sum-
mer and that means that they will do
no business in an interstate organiza-
ton.
