LEVY COURT helps
OLD Home plans
Names Committee to Act
With City in Erecting Court
House Lawn Stand
IS
FROWNED ON

At a session marked by several
lively tilts between Commissioners
Scott Smith and Burris, the Levy
Court yesterday afternoon decided to
cooperate with the Old Home Week
celebration committee in the erection
Of a grandstand on the Court House
lawn extending from Tenth to
Eleventh street
The action was taken as the resalt
Of a request made by City Council
man Weller e. Stover, who appeared
before the members Of the court on
behalf of the executive committee Of
the Old Home Week celebration Mr..
Stover explained to the members that
the executive committee at their last
meeting had taken up the matter and
had decided to ask the cooperation of
the Levy Court In the matter Of erect
ing the grandstand. He explained that
Il could be erected at a very reason
able cost, and would accommodate a
1 large proportion of the crowd that
would desire to see the parades dur
ing that week. Commissioner Scott
moved that a committee of three mem
bers of the court be named to confer
with City Council in regard to the
grandstand, with power to act in the
matter.
Commissioners Smith and Burris
objected, the latter stating that he ap-
proved of the plan but believed that
the committee named should report
back to the court before action is
taken. Mr.. Scott objected to this
explaining that it would be a week
before the committee could report
back and at that time some Other
objection might be raised by Mr.. Bur.
ris or Mr.. Smith, which would further
delay the matter Mr.. Scott said he
stood for the original motion. Ap-
parently referring TO Mr. Smith, Mr.
Scott, who seemed to be highly indig
nant that objection should be raised
to such a project, stated that h'
wished that he would start to tall
some day and talk until he had talk
ed himself out MT. Scott declared
I that unnecessary objection was al
ways raised to everything brought be
fore the court by members "whC
wished to hear themselves talk" anC
said that in the present case it look
ed as though someone was trying t
put damper on the Old Homo Weel
celebration.
Mr.. Scott's original motion thel
prevailed. and President Hollings

Oldham was aided materially by

himself as a football player, Monday.
Breton made two bad hobbies. and
again attempted to tackle Ty Cobb.
This time Ty sawed of portion Of
Breton's left leg with his spikes and
time had to be called while the
wound was dressed.
Oldham's pitching was the feature,
however. The recruit, the only piece
OF baseball furniture kept when the
Providence club was sold, let the Sox
down with four hits, one OF which
was scratchy and no two of which
came in the same inning.
All the scoring was done in the
first two frames. Mr.. Breton started
the game of auspiciously by heaving
wild to first after Bush had beaten
out an infield hit. Witt sacrificed and
Cobb singled down the thirdbase
line, Bush coming home. Crawford

In the sixth the Braves got another

The Tiges took II back and added
one for good luck In their half. Burns
started with triple to right which
Roth missed after hard run. Nor

scoring. Stanage's grounder toward
Fourier took bad hop and went
for hit Stan took second on a

That ended the scoring as Cicotte
frightened up and Oldham was irwin

Oldham's work was particularly
pleasing to the Detroit fans as he
seems to have everything necessary
to make an Al hurier in the big
