Leads the State
Seward County Shows A
Greater Growth In Pop
ulation Than Any
Other County.

The recent bulletin issued by the
department of Commerce and Lab
or on the thirteenth census of the
United States shows that Seward
county has increased more in po-
pulation in the last ten years than
any county in the state in proper
ton to her size. 1t is noticeable
fact that the county having the
second highest percentage of in
crease is Morton county, the south
west corner county in the state,
while the third is Stevens county
which joins Seward on the west
The population of Seward coun-
ty in 1900 was 800, and in 1910
had increased to 1901, an Increase
of 1917 per cent. Morton county
had 304 people in 1900, and in 1910
1888, an increase of 1885 per
cent. Stevens county population
10 1900 was 500 as compared with
2453, ten years later, showing an
increase of 1856 per cent. If the
other counties had the same rail
road facilities Seward county has,
it is probable that their population
would be as great as this county,
but they have shown a remarkable
growth in the past decade for
counties with no railroad facilities.

Liberal To Celebrate.

Last Saturday l. S. Reynolds,
who is connected with the Star
Lumber Co., started out with q
subscription paper for celebra-
ton on July 4th. He met with
considerable success, and a meet
ing was called for Saturday night
to organize the committees and
outline the plan for the celebra-
ton. Mr.. Reynolds was elected
chairman and G. E. Woods treas
urer. The amusements will be
secured under the direction of j.
A. Black. while L. H. Sutton will
look after the music. DIR. +. V.
Cason has been chosen to arrange
the program. Ray Millman is to
direct the advertising campaign.
A feature of the celebration here
this year is that all of the shows,
ball games, races and other enter
tainments will be free. Liberal is
going to try to entertain her out
of town customers and we believe
that the plan will meet with the
approval of those who regularly
trade in Liberal. The merchants
will give away several thousand
tickets to the local moving picture
shows. and there will be several
other attractions, An effort is be-
ing made to have the fast Beaver
and New Ulysses teams play ball
here that day. There will be
parade of funny costumes and
also a number of floats represent
ing the various lines of business
IN the town. This will probably
be the first attraction on the pro-
gram. 1t has been decided that
there will be no stand or concession
privileges, the idea being to keep
out the regular Fourth of July
CRATER. 1t will be a good idea to
make your plans early to come to
Liberal on the Fourth and help us
celebrate.

House Warming

The members and friends of the
Presbyterian church gathered
Tuesday evening at the large new
home of Rev. kellogg for a house
warming" They made the affair
somewhat on the order of an old
fashioned pound social", and a
nice lot of canned goods and other
eatables were bought. A large
crowd was present. The men and
children enjoyed the cool of the
front porch and yard for some
time. A program was given, fol-
lowed by a funny game in which
all could join. Frappe and waters
were served during the evening,
and the affair proved a very pleas
ant one.

In order to avoid the chatting of
friends here, Mr.. and Mrs. Walter
Ford slipped away on No. "a, a
few hours after the wedding and
told their friends they were going
to Hutchinson. They stopped off

Late in Evening.
FENCE WILL NOT BE MOVED
Proposition to Run Center Field

Erected Slightly to Westward of

By n. T. wORLEY.

At a meeting of the officials of the
Washington baseball club. held in the Of
fee of President Tom Noyes yesterday
afternoon. the contract for the construc
ton of new baseball park was awarded
to the Fuller Construction Company.
President Noyes refused to state the
price named in the contract, but it is
understood to be in the neighborhood OF
s125.OoO.
Mr.. Baird. the Washington representa-
tive Of the Fuller Construction Company.
is of the opinion that the new plant can
be constructed in time for the opening
game on April L. or at least all of it
but the second section of the double
deCked grand stand.
The fence will not be moved back TO
Fifth street. as was proposed, but will
remain where 1t now stands. The plans
call for a concrete grand stand a little
westward OF the site OF the old one, with
the result that there will be more play
ing room than formerly.
1t was decided yesterday that it would
be inadvisable for the Washington club
to accept the kind offer made by Manager
John Crosby, of the Georgetown Unver-
sity baseball team, of the use of the.
Hilltop diamond, and the Washington
club may stay at Atlanta until nearly
time for the opening game, or take a
short practice trip on its way home.

Ban Johnson. president OF the American
League. who is here TO confer with the
club owners, takes a most optimistic view
of the situation.
"Of course. the fire was untimely.- Pres
ident Johnson said last night but the
result will be that Washington will be
given a new and up-to-date park, second
to none in the league"
Mr.. Johnson. who is stopping with Pres
ident Noyes. OF the Washington club, will
remain here possibly until Wednesday to
be Of assistance in working with the club
officials.
With the completion Of the work of
removing the debris yesterday afternoon.
the work OF sinking the foundation for
the grand stand was started late in the
evening, and by to-day will be well under
way. The sand and other materials
needed have been arriving promptly. and
no difficulty is expected in this quarter.

CENTRAL RUNNERS
PREPARE FOR MEET
20" Street Track Athletics
Have Bright Outlook.

Extensive preparations are being made
at Central High School to make the
strongest kind of bid for field and track
honors this season.
This spring there will be six meets ex-
elusive of the Penn games. the George
town Prep meet. that of Gonzaga College.
the Richmond games. the University of
Virginia meet Maryland Agricultural
College first outdoor meet, and the an
nual high school games. 1t is thought
that the majority of the o street ath-
letes will enter these games.
With the eligibility of Capt Reuter-,
who successfully passed off his condi-
tons, the relay team bids fair to equal
the record set by former Central cham
pionship teams. Warner, King. Reuter-.
Hamilton. and Kelly seem to be the class
of the interscholastic quarter milers in
this section, taken as whole, and should
make a name for the school in the out
door relays.
For the track team the Blue and White
will have Reuter-. Hamilton, King. Hunt
and Adams in the daShes. and members
Of the relay in the quarter mile. The
distances will be looked after by Dyson.
Lawrence, Smolly, and Lubermersky
Hamilton and Kelly will enter the weight
events with Hunt and Blackstone in the
hurdles, while Currie is at present the
entrant for the high jump.

GEORGETOWN HAS
STIFF PRACTICE
Eighteen Players Measured
for Uniforms.

The baseball squad at Georgetown was
out yesterday for two hours of the stiff
est practice INDUCED in this year
Coach Sprigman divided the candidates
into sides, and they played enough in
nings for all of the batteries present to
have a thorough workout.
Most Of the veterans were put in charge
of Capt. Sitterding. who played them for
all they were worth. No one attempted
to keep score. but it was easily evident
that Sitterdings charges were having the
best OF the argument.
AS has been heralded for some days.
yesterdays practice was for the purpose
OF selecting eighteen men. who are to
compose the regular squad to be carried
this year at the Hilltop college. Coach
Jim Sprigman, however, refused to make
any selections, but he did condescend to
talk enthusiastically over the work of
several of the players, namely Hunt,
Quinlan, and Cogan.
1t was learned from another source
that the following men were measured
for uniforms yesterday by a Spalding
Representatives: Lynch, Mitchell. White,
O'Connor, Finele, and Balzer, pitchers:
Waldron, F'eenan. and Furey, catchers;
Corrigan, first base; Sitterding, second
base; Quinlan. third base; Cogan, short
stop. and Donnelly and Connolly. SUBJ
stftute infielders, and Hunt, McCauley,
Mclaughlin. and Murphy. outhelders.
Considering the fact that the George
town team has game scheduled with
the American Security and Trust Com
pany for Saturday, the coach is anxious
to get the regular team apart from the
scrub. so that he can teach them the
finer points of the game.
The biggest step in this direction has
been the arranging of games for to-
day and Thursday for the Reserves with
Technical High School. In doing this
the coach thinks that he can get bet
ter line on what material there Is, and
also make greater Roadway in the in
struction Of the men who stand the best
chance for the varsity team.
The delinquent weather had been to
some extent unfair to the coach and to
the boys, for 1t has not given Sprigman
enough Of an opportunity to size up the
men. The playing of a man on the re-
serves does not. however. mean that the
chances of making the big squad are al
together spoiled but 1t gives them a
better chance to show what he has in
him by appearing in action.

claim the loss of Jake StahI and Harry
Lord will cripple the Red Sox more than
anybody now realizes. As for the New
York Yankees the local players are un-
decided. They declare that if Hal Chase
can teach the men what he knows of the
fine points of the game he will have a
great team. Chase, they declare. is the
goat" and If the team goes badly he
will have to shoulder all the abuse from
the newspapers and the blame of the
Gotham fans.
The Nationals cannot see st. Louis and
Cleveland. They think Chicago will be
right up in the first division because of
Comiskey's great twirling staff. and as
for the Athletics and Detroit Tigers, all
are mostly agreed that the fight for
championship honors will be between
these teams.
Here is how Manager Donovan. OF the
Boston Red Sox. sizes up this years
American League race:
IT honestly believe my team will cap
ture the pennant, but we will have a
hard fight all the way. 1t looks to me
that Hal Chase's team will be extremely
dangerous this year, for Chase is sure
to make a great leader and has a fine lot
OF men.
Connie Mack and the Athletics will not
be far away from the top, and ] hear
that Hughey Jennings has strengthened
the Detroits.
Even though the Red Sox will not
have Jake Stahl on first base, the team
will be we'll balanced and is bound to
show greater stamina than last year
We've got some fine pitchers, and that
means 4 lot
1t is doubtful if any club in the Amer
lean League showed a poorer set of field
ing pitchers than did the Nationals. and
to correct this weakness as much as
possible Manager McAleer is going to pay
a lot of attention from now on to the
slabmen. The twirlers will have to run
in after bunts until they are ready to
drop, and in every case the batter will
attempt TO beat the throw to first.
This practice. it is calculated, will not
only be of great value to the slabmen.
but will aid the others in building up
wind and muscle
There are a number of twirlers in the
pig leagues who would get along better
II they were more proficient tielders.
Travel around the big league society and
you will hear many a manager say:
There would be a great pitcher, but he
is handicapped because he cannot field
well enough. His errors and slowness
lose many a game
Just as soon as a manager finds a good
pitcher with that fault he gets him play
ing 1.-The army game and spends a great
deal OF time on him showing him how
to field.
Not only were the Nationals slabmen
weak on handling bunts last year. but
were fearfully slow in covering first base
on balls hit to the regular first sacker
This fault. too, will be corrected by the
Nationals boss.
