Des Moines, Feb. N.-Inability to
II an appropriation to cover the ex-
pense OF printing a large number of

under the supervision Of the commerce
commission has caused the executive
council to refer the bill back to Cliff
ford Thorne with a request for an ex-
PLANTATION. The members Of the coun-
Gil are Unable to find any appropria-
ton out of which the bill can be paid.
There were a large number Of extra
copies of the briefs printed for state
and government officials and others.
The total cos Of the printing was
more than $3.50.
In presenting his bill to the council
Mr.. Thorne stated that he would pay
the none out of his W pocket if
necessary and explained the reasons
for the printing Of the extra copies.
AT the same time Mr.. Thorne pre-
scented a bill for his personal expenses
while at Washington, D. C., fighting
meat cases. Action IN this also is said
to have been deferred by the council
on the ground that the council had
passed no resolution authorizing him
to go to washington.

Saturday night. The score at the end
of the first half was: Grundy 10, Rein

half was: Grundy 90, Reinbeck 2. and
these two scores We're made by free
throws after fouls had been called on
the local team. In the second half the
local team far outclassed Reinbeck. The
Reinbeck people came here about sixty
strong to yell for their team. The Rein

and the best OF feeling prevailed. The

The local team played at Anamosa
the night before and the result was
about the same as here, the Grundy

shooting his body down the cfnder path.
has lust started on a new field of dut:
or will when the Cleveland baseball
team starts for it's training grounds
in the early spring. According to an
nouncement. Rush. Who spends the
greater part OF the ear as a teacher
in a boys schoo! near Cleveland. will
go along AS the %sprinting trainer OF the
Blues. Track coaches have frequently
discussed the proposition of having a
coach for the runners of a baseball
team. and the suggestion has been
made to the league magnates many
times. but the Cleveland team is the
first one to adopt the innovation.
Should Rush take charge of he lev-
Gland PLAYERS as a Sprinting coach. 1t
Will ho the first time that a coach Of
this kind has ever been employed by a
major league bail team or an other N
organized baseball. Teams have at
tempted to teach sprinters enough
baseball 10 make their speed Of utility
on the ball field. and with but little sue
cess. but no attempt has been made at
systematic coaching of regular players
in sprinting form. Yet this is h way
that all sprinters who have developed
into champions have gained their great
speed. Some argue that it is impossible
to drill speed on the bases int ball
players by perfecting their form in run
ming. but this has been proven until it
is tried. and it does not sound like good
logic. Anyway. If Cleveland puts Rush
in charge of the matter we will get a
test. even tho the latter has never
shown his ability as a coach in impart-
ing the knowledge he possesses Of
sprinting to others.
