Clancy says he lis visiting relatives

duced by Mr.. Dowd. who was q per-
sonal friend of Clancy.
The man represented himself as in
terested In baseball and showed an
especial knowledge of baseball in the
minor leagues of the South. In the
conversation he alluded TO Jim Thorpe
and said:
by the way, Jim Thorpe played
baseball with you down there, didn't
he.''
Clancy replied that he did. and told
SOME of his experiences with Thorpe.
Clancy was surprised the next day

Mike Donlin Sees
Richmond Growing


like Benin says that-he has Ger
tainIy enjoyed his trip to Richmond,
having been surprised at meeting a
number of old friends that he knew
and number that he never knew he
had AT all. He said last night he was
going to spend the morning seeing
Richmond. Afternoon and night he
will be busy at the Bijou.
This city is on the BOOM" he OBJ
served, You can almost see IL grow

Donlin Is particularly interested in
the appearance of his friend, Frank
Chance, on the Polo grounds this year,
There isn't such difference be-
tween a leader and tail-ender In the
big leagues" he observed. TT all de-
ponds on hitting the right comhina-
ton. See what Clarke Griffith did with
Washington last year. Chance may
make the same showing with the New
York Americans. and again he may
hayaAorsly a fair year. 1t all depends.
Ii things break right for him, he Will
have a winner.
Donlin will be with the Phillies this
wear, and he thinks that the Dooinites
win be battling with the Giants and

Good Roads Issue
Tuesday in Country
of Spotsylvania

Especial to The Richmond Virginian.)
SPOTSYLVANIA, VA. Jan. 3D.
The special election to be held in the
county ON Tuesday next IN the in
terest of good roads is provoking
great interest.
The issue is for the issuing of a
bonded debt In Berkeley district for
$50, 900 and $4,000 in Livingston dis
trict for the building of good reads in
each OF the districts
There Is a majority sentiment in
Berkeley district in favor of the bond
issue, while in Livingston district the
sentiment Is about equally divided,
and the two elements are waging a
strenuous fight for the mastery at the
polls.
Hon. NJ Fl. Dickinson. former mem
Der of the house of delegates from
the county. and Mr.. p. G.. Dickinson,
his brother, a member Of the board
Of supervisors. are both championing
the good roads feature and M. F.
Waite and DIR. Wallace Massey
are opposed.
The vote in that district will be
close with chances in favor of the
bond issue.
CORTLAND district, which now has
some twenty miles of good roads, will
add some ten or twelve miles more
of improved permanent roads this
summer to those already improved,
which will leave only one or two short
sections unimproved.
Concrete and iron and steel bridges
are being built over all the larger
water courses, and upon the whole
SpotsyIvania county is on the up
grade in progressive public improve
ments.

same with umpirtng. An arbitrator
may get along without a kick when
working with some club that has a
reputation for being -rowdles- while
ali his trouble may happen with a
team that has the reputation for do

landers were Sheridan's jonah, but
Jack had been in the business too
long to let such little thing worry
him.
In the very first inning of the game
in question very close play came up
at third, and Sheridan ruled the New

coaching at third rushed over to
Sheridan and Sarcastically remarked:
You're always pulling something

IF you don't pull something new

Bennett Cup Race
Will Be at Rheims

PARIS. Jan. 31.--The aviation con-
ference of the Federation Aeronautic
Internationaie has adopted the COM
mittee's recommendations for the
Gordon Bennett cup contest of 1919.
c. F. Campbell Wood one of the
American delegates, says that 1t Ii
probable that 200 kilometers an hour
will be attained in this years contest.
which is to be held at Rheims. Camp
lockwood says that Vedrines says ha
will travel nearer 500 kilometers an
hour than 200. The conditions ac-
cepted are identical with those OF last
year at Chicago, when Vedrines COW
cred the distance, which amounts to
124 miles, in one hour, ten minutes
and fffty-six seconds: his average thus
being a little more than los miles an
hour. Three hundred kiloneters an
hour would be 1856 miles. and it is
generally considered that Vedrines is
over optimistic.
The course for 1913 must be a cir
cult of at least five kilometers. or g.
miles. which must be covered twenty
times. by the contestant. Stops are
permitted. but The Time Is not de-
Quoted.
