With the approach of the spring
training season the local fans are be-
ginning to take note of the base ball
possibilities and there is much specu-
latlon as to what sort of a team will
represent Paris in the pennant race
this season. While there is little to
be reckoned on for certainty there Is
no doubt but that the Borubonites will
be ready for the running when the bell
taps for the opening tilt.
The schedule, which has been made
out and adopted has not been prepared
for publication yet, but it is more
than likely that President Neal will
have it ready for the press before
many days have passed.
Local interest in the game seems to
be centered upon the abilities of
bunch of ball tossers that will be
credit to Paris, and from all accounts
it is probable that he has some very
promising timber among the number
who have signed uo for the season of
1912.
Much disappointment is expressed
because of the fact that Hauser, who
was regarded as one of the most
promising youngsters Ill ILLS COuPduy
last season, has not yet signed a con-
tract and it is rumoret that the lndi
ana boy has made up his mind to re-
frain from professional ball the COM
ing season. However. it is the uivers
al hope that he can be induced to re-
consider and report with the other
member of the team about April /.
President Bacon stated few days
ago that there was possibility of
Paris securing big league catcher to
taket he place of Walter Mayer, and
he is earnestly engaged in his efforts
to land the man who, he says. is a
husky fellow, with plenty of base ball
ability and who would insure the Bour-
bonites the best barkstop in the
league.
Manager Lewis will likely report
here about April 1 to go over the
ground and have all of his plans ready
when the members of the club.
eighteen in ssnumber, arrive to begin
their strenuous work of conditioning
themselves for the trials for the regu-
lar position on the team. 1t is the
plan of the management to have a
number of exhibition games on the
local grounds prior to the opening of
the league season.

HAUGEN CONTEST OVER.
Unanimous Report of Elections Com
mitee Adopted by Democratic
House of Representatives.

The last act in the farcical contest
over the election of Congressman
Haugen instituted by ambitious dem
ocrats for Hon. d. j. Murphy, the
democratic candidate defeated by
Mr.. Haugen nearly two years ago, is
now over, and the House of Repre-
sentatives, containing a substantial
majority of democrats, on Friday
adopted the unanimous report of the
elections committee, also composed
of a majority of democrats. The
committee found no illegality in Mr..
Haugen's election and so reported.
This is the final chapter in a SER
les of political contests. all evil
IDENTIFY Instituted for the same pur-
pose. First the contest over the ell
ection of T. J. Qualley as sheriff in
this county, and following it the
Haugen-M Murphy contest, both of
which have been declared of no mer-
it. The animus of these contests is
now thoroughly understood by the
people, and the result has been to
turn large following to the earnest
support of these men who formerly
were not enthusiastic. 1t has had a
salutary effect upon politics in this
county and the fourth district.
