WANTS TO LEAD
BLOOMINGTON CLUB?

That Bloomington has made ad-
vances TO secure the services of Jack
Tighe, late manager of the Louis
vile Colonies, 10 save the sinking
Three-Eye ship at Bloomington is
gathered from items printed in news
papers in the southern end of the
league. 1t is certain that someone
is wanted to take the place of Harry
Bay, whose failure TO accomplish
great things in the face Of obstacles
has gotten him in bad favor. 1t is
doubtful if Tighe will embrace an
offer from Bloomington, even if one
is made, for it seems a cinch that that
city will not be able to pull through
the season.

mile, and there is plenty of room for
the shot-putters and weight men TO
work. The boat has a fine gym
nasium and large swimming tank.
1t is said that the athletes will not
be permitted to wear spiked shoes
when running on deck, but the steam
ship officials have helped by laying a
fiye-foor rubber mat around the fur
long circuit of the boat, which will
tend 10 avert the danger of the run

ed with dirt have been placed on
board ship as pits for the Jumpers

The Port Of Hamburg.

The Port OF Hamburg is a careful
and thoroughly readable study OF the
great German commercial city which
stands first among the cities OF the
world In furnishing terminal facilities
for commerce and Is the greatest port
In Europe. In this book an attempt Is
made To show the reasons why IL has
surpassed its rivals in the race for
trade.
Tho history of the commercial
growth of the port is outlined and
especial attention Is paid TO the way
in which the state and the enterpr1s-
ing business men of the city have CO.
operated in building up the trade OF
the port. Another important factor
which is carefully described is the de-
velopment of the River Elbe, which
