The people along Torrence<.avenue
have been hiding their light under a
bushel, but they do not propose to do
so any longer. For years they have
been aware of the fact that they have
the finest street in the city of Ham

les as a future boulevard.
The rest of the city of Hammond did
not realize this. Any one who glanced
over a map of the north side might
have noticed that there is a great wide
street up there which starts from Hoff-
man street and extends north, four
long blocks, to Huehn street.
But now the people of the north side
are proclaiming to the whole world the
fact that they have a street 100 feet
wide. and further that they propose to
improve 1t at once.

YORK WANTS
HARRY BARTON
Free VIII Give Two Batteries
to Get the Reading

$500 ALSO IN
TO HELP THE TRADE

President II Kister Free has an
pounced that the York team is 10 have
the services of Harry Barton, last
years Reading manager, and First
Baseman Bastisn, of the Pretzele. II
the deal can be satisfactorily srrang-
ed, York officials are willing 10 give
Reading Catchers Rementer and Ev-
ers, Pitchers Rogers and Skillman
and 5000 in cash for Harry Barton and
Bastian.
Il is rumored that Manager Wei
gand Is now trying TO arrange the deal
and there is little doubt but that Read
ing will be only too willing TO make
such a good trade. Although Barton
and Bastian are both good men. Read
ing would not hesitate to let them go
for such an inducement, 1t is presum-
ed. Last season Barton played in 81
games and batted at .234. while Re-
menter played in SO games. batting at
PAT. Remeter stood third in the catch
ing department. with Barton fourth.
This would. seen a good trade forRead-
ing-Barton for Rementer.
Bastian batted at 226 in 109 games
last season, and was sixth as a first
baseman. Whitney, whom York would
drop If Bastian could be secured. bat
ted at 2S1 in So games, and in fielding
was eighth. Rogers, when in form,
is = winning pitcher, and has done
good work for York. The proposition
10 give these four men 10 Reading,
together with $500 in cash for Barton
and Bastian, will probably place Read
ing in a good position TO recoup a
few of the games lost last season.

A. the story goes. twas one hot day
When he with the Orioles did play.
And there lived not one in the Mary

But knew OF Cassidy's wide renown.
In the feld Pete stood as the leagues

When he held his place on the first

And never was catcher's throw so

AS the first two dubs that went TO

As the pitcher winged them with rare

And they pounded hard in the back

Pete sat low on the players bench
And suuinted his eye on the home-run

That lay across the helds Of grass.
And no out6elder. no matter what

Of a reciprocity agreement with Can

time sells them fish which are iced

days ago that the duty charged on
fish caught in Canadian water greatly

WANTS LEAGUE TO
RAISE TIE SALARIES

HARRISBURG. Feb, 4-Managcr
AL. c'Kip") selbach came to Harris
burg, but his presence brought out
facts that have started the fans talk
ing, and show conditions here not
very encouraging. Harrisburg is op-
posed 70 being a cheap town, and the
fact that the Tri-State has decided up
on the individual limit Of $175, and a
limit Of $1,000 for the month, has put
this town in bad shape. This in
formation came with Manager Sell
bach's arrival
Ten days ago. when II was an
nounced that Manager Selbach had
been elected bench manager, a state
ment was given out that six new men,
all promising youngsters, had been
signed, and these with the holdovers,
would give Harrisburg a strong team.
Today Manager Selbach stated that
he could not count on any stars, and
that some of the youngsters who had
been getting almost as much money
as the Tri-State allows had refused
to play at the Tri-State limit.
This practically gives Harrisburg
but few players, as Huelsman, who
Will manage a Central League team,
and Pitchers Gaskill and Bridges have
been disposed of because they will
not play at the salary limit. No
signed contracts have been returned
by any OF the players. and all Of the
new men have written Manager Sell
bach that they will not play for the
limit allowed. With the work now
going on for a stock organization,
Harrisburg cannot afford to present a
cheap proposition, and already many
of the subscribers have refused to
take the stock agreed upon. unless
better baseball is promised.
Harrisburg is ready to join with
other teams IN having a special meet
ing called and change the limit TO
S2i00 n month. and cutting out the
individual limit Unless this is done
