The business of granting saloon Ii
censes may be said to be taking its
regular course so far and all of the
applications will probably go through
very much as they always have. The
only thing that may cause any hitch
is the proposal to increase the num-
Der of saloons by one and that only
because many Of the saloon men them
selves are opposed to any more sa-
looms no matter what the views of the
brewery agents may be. The saloon
men are beginning to realize that a
license to operate a saloon in Keno
sha is an increasingly valuable assest
with every successful effort to keep
The number of saloon within the legal
Unit.

The council is now in the throes of
the annual battle over the granting
Of the saloon licenses and the usual
protests and remonstrances over the
granting Of license to this or that
disorderly dive are being presented,
but when the smoke clears away most
of the people of the city will be very
much surprised if it is not found that
the usual number Of permits have not
been issued and possibly one more.
Some of them may be under different
names, but they will be issued just
the same.

Physicians have already been call
cd to attend the victims of premature
celebration Of the Fourth and there
would be more faith that the city is
to have a safe and sane celebration
this year if there was more Of an eff
fort made to stop the early firing
of explosives in all parts Of the city.
There is not so much of this early cele-
brating this year as in other years,
but there is more of it than there
should be and the police will have TO
do something to show that they mean
business if it is to be stopped.

CORRECTION.

We, the Iroquois baseball team, wish
to rectify the statement which the
Normal team inserted in the Kenosha
News Monday night about the game
played Sunday. The game was discon-
tinued in the third inning with the
score l to in favor Of the Irequois.
Owing to decision rendered by the
umpire and the Normals being ignor-
ant of the rules found an opportunity
for an argument contradicted the UNI
pire which terminated in the umpire
FORGETTING the game to the Iroquois.
We also wish to state that whenever
the Normals have money enough and
a clearer insight as to the rules of the
game we are willing to play them.

The crisis which has arisen in the
building of the trunk sewer over
difference of opinion in regard to the
quality of the crushed stone being
used for the concrete is serious mat
ter and the need of competent en-
gineer to represent the city in the
controversy in whose honesty, ability
and integrity the representatives of
the city who are watching the con-
struction work can place absolute re-
lance is very plainly seen. The city
needs expert advice right now if it
ever needed any. So far as we know
none of the aldermen who are con
the job" for the city lays any claims
to being an expert in this kind Of con-
structlon work and the aldermen are
naturally backward in assuming too
much responsibility in passing on ma
terial, but if they believe that the
material which is being used in the
work is not up to the standard reouir-
ed by the specifications they will be
taking exactly the right course in
stopping all work until they are salts
fed that everything is as it should be.
1t would be much better to have the
work delayed for time if that is
necessary than to have material oct
into the sewer that is not up to the
specifications and we may as well have
the question of the right of the citv
to pass on the material being used in
the sewer settled right now before the
work progresses any further. The PEG
pie of the city did not bargain for
something just as good'' in this lob
but for the quality of material nam
ed in the specifications and it is up
to the aldermen to see that thew oct
it. 1t is perhaps unfortunate that any
trouble has arisen, but if there is to
be fight now is the time to have it and
there should be no question about the
city backing its own inspector either.
If the inspector is not to have the
council behind him he might as well
not be on the job at all for no atten-
tssn whatever will be paid to his or
ders in the future.

JOHNNY HAYES MAY
RUN AT BIG MEET
George Washington's Manager
Has Secured Marathoner as
Added Attraction.

AS an added attraction to the annual
George Washington indoor meet in Con-
vention Hall tomorrow night, Manager
Harold Keats has obtained Johnny
Hayes, the famous marathon runner, to
give an exhibition.
Hayes runs Alfred Shrubb in Baltimore
tonight, and when called up on the long
distance phone agreed to give an ex-
hibition here providing he feels no ill
effects from his match against Shrubb.
AS Hayes is a professional, his race
will of necessity be placed last on the
program. after all the amateur events
have been run off, and will be handled by
officials not connected with the A. A. u.
The A. A. U. rules do not permit pro-

NEW YORK, February 3.-Foot ball
men of prominence from all parts of

fourteen members Of the committee

that no material changes should be

that the present legislation should
have another seasons test. The host
Of suggestions for something differ

country will be gone over carefully,
however.
The Harvard representative is in ia
vor Of doing away with the three
minute rest between quarters. taking
out only time for the teams to change
goals. Harvard also favors making
the halves thirty five instead of thirty
minutes long, and as the game last
year under the new rules was less
trying on the players, the suggestion
to lenthen the halves may meet with
approval.

SULLIVAN COMING BACK.
Washington Boxer Likely to Nee
Knockout Brown.

BALTIMORE, Md. February 3-After
being out Of the pugilistic limelight for
several months Kid Sullivan of WASH

is preparing to come back. At Berwyn,
Md, where he owns a farm. the Kid is
working as II he was the same ambitious
youngster of several seasons ago, and
feels certain that he can re-enter the ring
and make good. So well does he think
of himself that he has been successful in
getting Matchmaker Sammy Harris of
the Eureka Athletic and Social Club to
promise him a battle with Knockout
Brown, the latest wonder in New York
boxing circles. In a few days Harris in
tends to slip over to the big city to con-
supmate the match: but if arranged it
will not take place inside of a month.
Sullivan has requested that the date

work himself into great form. Sullivan
Is now training with two rugged boxers,
Kid Egan and Tommy Lowe, the former
printing himself for his match here next
Friday night with George CLANCY of this
city at the Germania Maennerchor Hall.
Egan has engaged Sullivan TO coach him
for the coming mill, and the latter is
overlooking no trick to be his old self
when he breaks into the game again.
Knockout Brown, who will be sought
to meet Sullivan here, is now recognized
as most dangerous contender for Ad
Wolgasts lightweight crown. The New

Michigan German in a six-round bout
before the American Athletic Club of

AUTOS FOR PLAYERS
Detroit Man Makes Novel
Proposition to Reward Stars.
CONDUCT TO CUT FIGURE
Committee of Newspaper Men to Sc
lect Bene6ciaries-
Give All a Chance.

CHICAGO, February 3.-Tentative plans
for the creation of a base ball hall Of
fame on broader lines than anything of
the kind hitherto attempted were an
nounced yesterday by a Detroit manu-
facturer. He offered to put two auto
mobiles into the hands Of committee of
awarded at the end of each playing sea-
son to the player in each major league
who, in the opinion of the committee,
had done the most for his team in the
pennant race.
Details Of the proposition. such as the
size Of the committee, it's selection and
the methods of arriving at the choice OF
the player entitled to the prize in each
league. have not been worked out The
offer stands for a period of five years,
and will be open to all the players in each
major league exclusive of the managers,
whether bench or playing managers.
Batting Eliminated.
The idea, as explained, is to eliminate
the question of batting, fielding or pitch
ing averages as arbitrary determining
factors and to reward the players who do
the most to advance the best interests of
their respective teams in the two pennant
races. In addition to taking into con-
sideration the performances of a player
in batting, fielding. pitching. base-run-
ming and other departments, it is intended
to include loyalty, department and adj
herence to discipline both on and off the
field.
Being the composite opinion Of a COM
mittee Of newspaper men, and not based
on records. the choice would carry with
it no official recognition. The winners
would be in the position of the foot ball
players chosen annually by Waiter Camp
for his all-American eleven. except that
there would be two prize winners instead
Of eleven, and the choice would repre-
sent the personal opinions OF five or seven
men instead of an individual.

OFF FOR METROPOLIS
Capt. Smith of Georgetown to
Compete in Irish-American
Games Tomorrow.

Carrying the best wishes of his local
supporters and in excellent physical con-
dition, despite late injury to his left
foot. Capt. Tom Smith of the Blue and
Gray track team left today for New York.
where tomorrow evening he is scheduled
to compete in the 7O-yard low hurdles at
Madison Square Garden. He is one Of
the most prominent entrants in this event
at the annual meet Of the Irish-American
Athletic Club. Against him will be pit
ted the flower Of the timber-toppers Of
the east and south. and it will require his
very best efforts to carry off the medal.
That he has chance to do so is the be-
lief Of those who have watched him do
ing his. training stunts for the past couple
OF days Although 1t was necessary for
him to undergo an operation on his left
ankle last Monday, the injury did not
keep him from his daily work and he
has faithfully stuck to the tasks laid
down by Coach Foley. For the first
time in three years he wore spike shoes
Wednesday. as result of which he SEEM
ed to have increased his speed per-
ceptibly.
A good showing by Smith in New York
will put him among the favorites as a
contender for the indoor hurdling cham
pionsship Of the South Atlantic states,
which title Is to be decided in Baltimore
a week hence. To train for the latter
race was the real reason for his entering
the New York games, but during the past
couple OF weeks he has improved so
rapidly that all of his admirers now con-
fdently expect him to at least get placed
tomorrow evening.
Before leaving on the southern trip this
afternoon Manager Fortune of the bas-
ket ball team gave out welcome bit of

evening Of February It. In addition to the
