This afternoon a committee on the
subject of the white Way" will COZ
fer with E. N. Sanderson, president;
w. A. Heller, general superintendent.
and chief engineer; c. II. Michaels.
assistant general superintendent OF
the Federal Light and Traction Com
pany, for the general purpose of
outlining some definite steps towards
the work that is desired for Central
avenue in this line.
The object is to make Central av-
enue such a beauteous way that it
will be the subject of favorable com
ment from all the visitors who come,
and thereby an advertising medium
of a permanent nature.
The officers of the company have
been here several days to look over
the matter of some extensions and
improvements that are anticipated.
But for the unusual conditions that
prevail at this time, there is no
doubt but that the splendid work OF
the public utilities since the fire of
last September would be continued
indefinitely, for all of the things pro
posed for the advancement of Hot
Springs have received favorable con
sideration at the hands of this cor
poration.
Mr.. Strauss, who returned yester-
day from Atlantic City, stated that he
believed no other one thing done
would add more to our resort than to
perfect this white Way" plan, and
thus give our visitors something on
which to comment favorably, and
that also the impression created
would be lasting. He also thought
that such a work would have its
effect on causing private property
owners to add to the appearance of
their premises, and cause the city
also to give more attention to the
cleanliness of Central avenue at all
times and under all conditions.

CATHOLIC ATHLETES
APPLY TO THE A. A. u.
Big Clubs Want to Regain Alliance
with Middle Atlantic
Association

Philadelphia, Nov. 30-The Catholic
Young Mems National Union, an athletic
body, composed of 362 clubs, with a MEM
bership of 125.OOO athletes, is seeking alIi-
ance again with the Amateur Athletic
Union. Delegates from twenty-four cities
held special meeting yesterday at the
Cathedral Club and plans were discussed
for readmission TO the parent body.
The Catholic Union was dropped two
weeks ago at the annual meeting of the
A. a. U. on the ground that it was an
inactive body.
The organization, through its commit
tee, proposes to issue an ultimatum 10
the a. A. L., in which it will ask that
body to rescind its action and give back
an alliance. Should this fail, steps will
be taken to have many OF the club mem
bers of the Catholic Union apply for
separate membership to the A. A. u,
and thereby gain the controlling vote.
This would enable them to get back an
alliance and put the organization in the
position desired by its sponsors.

AFTER MANAGERS.
-Four Clubs Are without Pilots for
1918 season.

-Four major league clubs may have new
managers next year. Those clubs are:
The Yanks, White Sox. Cubs. and Maps.
1t seems certain that the Yanks will
have a new pilot, but it is not at all
certain that changes will be made in the
three other clubs mentioned. Hank"
O'Day. the Cub boss. has been reported
as certain to go on about forty-seven
different occasions, but Hank still fingers
on the job. and may get another chance
in 1915.
Birmingham. of the Maps, is hooked
by a contract that still has two years
to run. His work wasn't satisfactory last
year. but Owner Somers is confronted
with the alternative of firing Birmy and
paying his salary along with that OF
another manager or keeping Birmy and
trusting to luck for the 1915 season.
Jimmy Callahan. OF the White Sox. is
reported as slated for release" But
Jimmy says he knows nothing about it
and Owner Comiskey is silent.

FOOTBALL Is ROBBED
OF MUCH BRUTALNESS
Universal Adoption of Open Playing
by Gridiron Teams Has
Stopped Fatalities.

Football has been robbed of much
Of its former brutaIness and fatal
ity by the almost universal adoption this
year Of the open single game.
The season just over reports OF deaths
and serious injuries among the tens OF
thousands who play the game have been
fewer so far. than in any similar period
in the history OF the college sport.
OF course. in the big games which were
the most bitterly contested of all, the
element OF danger to the players in those
games was not so great as It is in the
preliminary games earlier in the season.
When the big games arrived the weaker
players had been eliminated. None but
the strong and the hardy survived and
those players, by this time, have become
hardened to the severest kind Of knocks
and jolts.
