Ing a contract. Keefe should have no
trouble whatsoever In signing with some
minor league.
No more developments in the johnson
case were recorded before the team left.
When approached Manager McAleer said
that the matter stood as 1t has ever since
Johnson was sent home. i. McAleer ex-
pressed himself as regretting more than
any one else that the club and johnson
could not come to terms, and said he
hoped matters would be speedily adjusted
in some manner. No member Of the club
seemed willing to converse on the mat
ter, it apparently being a sore subject
with them. They feel Johnson's loss
deeply.
During the stay Of the Washing
ton team in Atlanta they played seven
teen games, fifteen games among them
selves between their two squads. the
regulars and the Shamrocks, and two
with outsiders, one with Georgia Tech
and one with Atlanta, both Of which they
won.
III these games Zeb Milan, the fast lit
tie center fielder, pooled out the best swat
ting record, an average of 1854, Corbin,
whom McAleer turned over to Atlanta
and Warren Miller, the young outfielder
whom Atlanta came mighty near getting
tying up for second place honors with
averages OF 1893: John Henry came next
with 1927 and Kid Elberfeld next with
1903. Charlie Street was the only other
800 hitter. his mark being Just that.

In almost every city there is usually general
scramble for the money appropriated Tor streets,

A tentative plan for the disbursement of the

The words further change may cover a wide

made it is to be hoped that ward boundaries

money appropriated from the excheqner- of the
