WINNIPEG BALL
MANAGER ON JOB

Winnipeg Free Press Frank Lohr,
who is to manage the Naroons again
this season, has. arrived in the city and
will remain until the time arrives for
spring training, occupying his time
with gathering team which he hopes
will be strong enough to land the
Western Canada league pennant.
Frank has quite recovered from the
injury which kept him out of the game
for practically all OF last season 1t
will be remembered that in the second
week, playing at Brandon. he sustain
ed severe fracture of the leg while
sliding into second base. This was
naturally a severe handicap to the
team. although Lohr acted as bench
manager as soon as he could liobble
around. The limb is as strong as ever
again so that Lohr will be seen ca
vorting around In center field and rap
ping out the timely hit. Since the sea-
son closed he has spent most of his
time hunting in the Black Hills of
South Dakota and looks in. prime con-
dition He saw his first hockey match

Manager Frank considers a much
faster article OF ball will be played In
the Western Canada league this year.
We all know how strong the other
fellows were last year" he said, "and
It will be a case of getting together a
stronger combination Ia order to win
the pennant."
While practically all of last seasons
Maroons are under reserve, there will
be several changes, and Lohr already
has several good men in sight. Among
the old favorites TO be retained will be
Jack Beatty and Heinie Krugen. The
Dutchman will this year be played at

"Marque," In the last issue of the
Horse Review, has this to say on the
subject Of large horses on half lille
tracks: II believe that one of the most
erroneous impressions ever given cred
ence in horse circles is that small
horses are better adapted for half
mile track racing than the large ones.
How often do you hear horseSnen say:
He should be a crack on the half
mile tracks, because he Is small and
very rapidly gated. Just the oppos-
tie il most generally remarked anent
large horses. But ] have always taken
note OF the fact that the turns bother
a big horse far less than they do the
small ones. Small horses are apt to
be short-coupled, and when they strike
a turn it causes them to shorten up
their stride and go faulty gated,
whereas big horses having a longer
foot. base (wheel base is the auto
mobile term for the same thing) find
less disturbance when speeding around
a sharp circle. Per examples I have
in mind the two geldings Thalberg
2:20 and Gold Standard 2:11A, who
have to their credit about as many
winning, heats over half-mile tracks
as any steeds can recall. Both were
big horses, and would be pronounced
by the unthinking too big to race on
the twice around tracks. Last sum
mer / saw a trotting mare that stood
just ,trif1e over is hands work
numerous miles over half-mile track,
but Willis she was very rapidly gated
every time she went into a turn she
had to slow down inorder to avoid
scalping. She didn't seem to much
account, for the reason that she was
small and should on that account"
ESQ the critics., trot good on tha turns,
but the very first time she struck a
mile track she trotted in 2:14B.

PART TAKEN
BY GLEN PARK WOMEN
Outdoor Art League Formed to Encourage Love Of
Civic Beauty and Home Decoration Has
Had Great Educational Effect

The members Of the Glen Park out
door art league. which was organized
June s. 1908. were at first members Of
the Glen Park Improvement club, but
decided that it would be preferable to
have an Improvement club separate
from that conducted by the men
The first and most important matter
undertaken by the league was the con-
structfon of Lippert street. For two
years the mems club had petitioned
the board Of supervisors and the board
of public works for the construction Of
this street. and it was a matter OF the
utmost concern to the residents Of the
districts
The women determined to fill in and
build a street which would give ac-
cess to the Ocean View and Sunnyside
districts for teaning and which would
at the same time afford safety for
pedestrians.
The women proposed that Lippert
street off Glen avenue and Berkshire
street should be filled In. This fill
would be 20 feet in depth and 800 feet
in length. Volunteers were called for.
The Crocker estate was induced to fur
nish rock, merchants furnished teams,
shovels, etc: the Glen Park improve
ment club, and other clubs in the vi
cinity furnished the laborers. the
women furnished the meals for the
men.

same method was repeated a second
day. The assistance OF the sheriff was
enlisted and the work carried nearly
to completion.
Finally the city appropriated $4,000
to complete the project which the
women had worked so earnestly for
The club secured IL lights IN addi-
tion 10 those obtained by the Glen Park
improvement club. There was no gas
in the district until the women of the
club circulated a petition and pre-
sented IL to the gas company They
also assisted in the maintenance OF
the volunteer fire department. by solic-
tting and subscribing funds.
A distinctive class Of work which
the women are doing IS the helping Of
worthy families. The club receives do
nations of food, clothing and money
and it's committee on charities dis
penses the contributions where they
will do the most good.
The beautiication Of the district is
another matter which receives the
close attention OF the women
The officers OF the club are: Mrs. n.

operation to Women for
improvements

When the gentle persuasion and en-
thusiasttc cooperation Of the women
of the district fail the men OF the Glen
Park Improvement club are called upon.
They are required to fight the bat
ties. They go before the various city
bodies and conduct the fights which
the ladies could not make
The Glen Park Improvement club
was organized soon after the fire, At
the time of its organization there were
no streets, no sidewalks no sewers. no
gas, very few lights. poor water, bad
car service and few people in the Glen
Park district
The club has, by persevering efforts,
succeeded in making a decidedly no.
ticeable change in these conditions
One of Its first accomplishments was
The securing of two new car lines for
the district-the Glen Park -Sunnyside
line and the Bosworth street line
Among the many improvements Sc
cured by the club are the repairing and
repaving of the streets, the laying of
sidewalks, the securing of arc lights
that provide well lighted streets. the
organization of a voluntary fire COM
pany under the control and manage
ment of the club, the construction of
nrehouse through subscriptions re-
cefved by the club, the creation of a
new street over Islais creek, the con-
struction of two foot bridges over the
creek at Clinton and Hamilton avenues.
postal boxes, branch postoffice and a
branch library.
Two hundred men and thirteen teams
spent whole day in filing in Lippert
street, much needed connection be-
tween the Glen Park and Sunnyside
districts. The work was finally COM
pleted by the city and county.
Two auxiliary fire cisterns have been
installed in the district, one at Berk-
shire and Diamond streets and one at
Glen avenue and Surrey street. The
contract has been let for the Glen ave-
nue. sewer, which will drain Diamond
street and vicinity.
The club has been for long time
urging this work. The sewage has
been drained into the street. The club,
backed by the women's clubs, Is en-
deavoring to have Arlington street ex-
tended from the Southern Pacific tun-
mel to Bosworth street, thus affording
direct route instead of the long,
roundabout connection which is now
made with Bosworth street.
The officers of the club are: Theo-
dore Pinther, president; NJ. w. Bergin,
first vice president: E. Warren, second
vice president; w. Towers, secretary.
W. Brush assistant secretary; A.
Straub, treasurer; F. Johnston, SER
