the home green in desperate effort
to square the match and force II into
extra holes, could do no better than
naive the hole, giving young Evans
the title, the huge gallery broke into
applause. Wood shook his opponents
hand before Evans was seized by his
friends and borne off In triumph.
During the entire match Wood con-
slstently outdrove Evans but the
Edgewater golfer was deadly on HIS
approaches and his putting was the
best he has done during the present
tournament. At that, however, In or.

Sporting Views
BY the Editor

Everything looks rosy for the In.
dams now. They are assured of their
salaries on payday for the balance oil
the season and with the support of the
bugs pledged will have no trouble
finishing the season.
Secretary Sterne received a check
for 800 Saturday evening in payment
OF an option of ten days given for the
youngster Barnes. With two major
league teams fighting for the posses.
sion of this man and two other men on
the sale list, the directors should be
able to get away a little to the good
on baseball this season.
The chances for the change of man
agement that has been talked of for
several days seems to be without
foundation, for the directors insist that
nothing of the sort has been preached
in any of their numerous meetings in
the past week. With one exception.
they favor Queisser, and it is not like
" that change will be made before
the end of the season.
Sloan seems to have a habit of going
in the air every time scout from the
majors looks him over. Whether this
is the cause Of his nervousness or the
ragged support Of the team behind
him is not known, but he does it every
time. That he has the goods to make
him in higher company is admitted all
over the league, but, until he controls
his temper and pitches the baseball
that he is capable of, in pinches, his
chances of going UP are indeed slim.

MONDAY, MARCH IS, 1912.
EVERY MEMBER SHOULD
T E

The call for a meeting of the
Chamber Of Commerce, to be held
this afternoon at four O'Clock, should
bring out every member. At this
meeting l.. M. Harris of st. Louis,
press representative of the Frisco,
will explain the Good Roads cam
paign which the Frisco will inaugu-
rate at Brownsville next Monday.
AS announced previously in the Her
aid, the Frisco, with the cooperation
of the Department of Agriculture,
will sand a special Good Roads train
over its entire system, which will
give the people a series of object les
sons in actual road building accord
ing to the accepted modern ideas.
The fact that this campaign will
be started at Brownsville. the suth-
ern terminus of the Frisco, and go
from here oyer the entire Frisco sys-
tenn, is a tribute to Brownsville,
which our citizens should appreciate
greatly The Good Roads train will
bring a corps of trained government
road builders and lecturers. They
should receive every attention which
such visitors merit.
The Good Roads movemen is COM
handing the attention of thought
full people everywhere. Both town
and country folk are coming to a
full realization of the vital import
ance of good roads to the interests
of both.
Brownsville now has an opportun-
ity to show that she is in line on
this matter. 1t is the duty of the
Chamber of Commerce to lend its
heartiest support to the move, and
every member should be at the meet
ing this afternoon to assist in plan
ming for the opening Of the Good
Roads campaign here next Monday.

THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

what part Will benjamin kOWal
ski play in deciding the coming mu-
nicipal contest? This question has
been asked frequently during the
past week, and the answer varies
according to the political color of
the person you talk to. SO, if you
ask an Independence if Mr.. Kowal-
ski will poll many votes from the
Reds, the answer will be, that Mr.
Kowalski will not poll more than
forty or fifty votes, and half of this
number will be taken from the ranks
Of the Blues.
If you ask a democrat if Mr.. Ko-
walski will poll any democratic
votes he will smile. and reply that
the mayor will get all his votes from
the Independents.
If you ask Mr.. Kowalski if he has
a chance to win, he becomes enthus-
iastic and will tell you that he has
been promised more than 300 votes
already, and that he is growing in
favor everyday. "Win? Of course
7 have a chance to win And so it
goes.
Now. to a disinterested person, yet
one who mingles among all political
colors, it looks as if Mr.. Kowalski
will prove to be a nettle in the In
dependents side. Yet you can't
make an Independent think so.
There is no good reason why a Dem
ocrat should cast his vote for Mr..
Kowalski, and their are good rea-
sons why many Independent votes
should find their way to his column
on election day
The reason for thinking this way
is that there is much sympathy eX-
pressed for him by many voters who
believe he was entitled to a renom-
ination. The story that the mayor
tells about the money Interests in
sisting upon having his scalp, is hav-
ing its effect. Several voters have
been heard to say that if the indie
pendents shad nominated Mr.. Kowal-
ski, they did not think they would
vote for him, but now that he is
playing a lone hand they will help.
him. OF course, there is little rea-
soning in such an argument. 1t is
nothing more than sympathy. Yet
this sympathy will play an import
ant part in this campaign. Men
have been heard also to condemn
Kowalski in no uncertain way. They
could see no good in him or in any
thing that was done during his adj
ministration. These same men see
things through a different lens to-
day, and can point out many things
that Mr.. Kowalski did during the
past two years. How can you ac-
count for this change? Only by
sympathy for the under-dog.
Why should Mayor Kowalski draw
even one vote from the Democratic
column? He has fought them at
every turn; he has given them no
quarter during his administration.
He has no spared them at any time.
His harpoon was always ready for
action, and he never hesited to let
her fly when the opportunity pre-
sented itself. Mr.. Kowalski was an
Independent at all times: he favored
the Independents in every lawful
way. He strictly adhered to the
platform that he was elected upon,
and did all in his power to advance
the Independent movement. The
Democrats do not owe Mr.. Kowal-
ski one iota. Why, then. should
they vote for him? For these rea-
sons, it is hard to See where Mr..
Kowalski will poll any Democratic
votes, while, on the contrary, it is
very plain that whatever vote he re-
ceives should put a dent in the In
dependent column.
