HARD YEAR THIS
ON THE BULL SIGN

Patrons of South Side Park are now
greeted by the appearance Of the re-
nowned Bull" Durham sign. In
connection with this sign there is
an interesting little piece of baseball
history which is given herewith.
There is an offer Of $50 to every
player who hits the bull sign with a
fairly batted fly ball during a regular
scheduled league game, and carton
of Bull Durham to every player who
makes a home run on the field where
the Bull Durham sign is located.
The signs were first placed in the
we're fifty-four bulls" scattered
throughout the country. These
bulls" were hit fourteen times during
the season, making a total Of 500
distributed to the lucky players.
There were four hundred and eighty
seven home runs made in these parks,
making a total of 2,435 pounds Of
tobacco for the heavy hitters.
The 1910 season opened with the
number of bulls" increased to 144
and there was a corresponding in
crease in the number of hits that
were registered against these signs,
the total amounting TO S4 hits. mean
ing that the lucky players received
S425O during last season. There we're
over 1000 home runs made in these
144 parks, which netted the big
stickers the enormous amount of
10000 pounds, or three carloads of
tobacco
This year there are 1S4 of
these signs, and although the season
is young, yet there have been already
rs hits scored. the "bull' at Lowell,
Mass, opening the season on April
2S. So from the present indications
it looks as if this were to be ban
ner year on the "bull' signs.

MONMOUTH PARK RESIDENTS
WANT SCHOOL SITE ON WEST
Board Committee Decides on North
side and Objections Are
Registered.

Resolutions were adopted at a meeting
Of the residents OF Monmouth Park last
night. which will be presented to the school
board, asking that body to buy the prop
erty adjacent to the Monmouth Park school,
on the west for the erection Of an eight
room addition to the school
DR.. G. w. Williams a member Of the
school board. and James c. Lindsay until
recently a member of the board, were
present at the meeting and made short
talks. MIR. Williams told the residents that
the property and building committee Of the
board met yesterday afternoon and practi-
cally decided to build an eight-room add
ton to the north Of the school. This was
objected TO by the residents on the grounds
that the beauty Of the site would be de-
stroyed. and not enough grounds would
be left for the children to play on
It was decided that if the property on the
west Of the building is not to be purchased
by the school board. it viii be asked to
build a fouT-room addition on the north
for the present, and when more room is
needed to build the additional four rooms
on the south The resolutions, as adopted
at the meeting are:
Whereas, 1t is the understanding Of the
residents OF the Monmouth Park district
that the School Board intends creating an
eight-room addition to the Monmouth Park
school on the north side, and
Whereas, The erection of such an addi-
| tion as proposed, would, in our opinion
ruin the present school site. and also the
sites Of residents along Meredith avenue
on account OF the school extending Out
twenty-six feet beyond the houses on the
south side OF the avenue, and,
| Whereas, The intention OF the Schoo
| Board, as We understand, is not in accord
ance with the sentiment of the citizens o.
this district therefore be it
Resolved, That we, the citizens of tn,
Monmouth Park school district, reques
the School Board to use due consideration
as to the beauty of the Monmouth ParI
site and the need OF sufficient Fairgrounds
| In deciding upon the place for the new
addition, be II further
Resolved, That II is the sense of the citi
zens OF this district that the School Boar
purchase property on the west of the pres
ent site to enable that honorable body L
erect the proposed new addition.
