CITIZENS FORMULATE
PLAN 70 PRO RATE.
new LIGHT SYSTEM.
Business Men Start Move
ment for Boulevard Lamps
on Main Instead of Boards
Choice.

I. An agitation to install a system of
boulevard lights on Main street under
the same plan that other public i'm
provements are made, has been start
ed by a number of prominent business
men in the city and will probably re-
suit In definite action being taken
within the next few days in recon-
mending to the board of works that
this plan be pursued rather than the
plan the board is now considering.
The new plan that has been propos-
ed by number of merchants of the
city Is practically the same that was
worked out by the Young Mems Busi-
ness club several years ago but failed
when 1t was brought to the board of
works for final action. 1t consists
chiefly Of installing a system of uni
Norm lighting by the process now en-
ployed in other public improvements
of the~city, that is by petition to the
board of works.
( City Pays Upkeep.
After the lights have been petition
ed for, the board would oversee the
construction of the posts, ETC., which
owners, the cost being pro rated ac-
cording to the foot frontage. After
the lights have been installed the city
would then have the cost of main
Aenance.
The board of works has called for
bids on specifications drawn up sew
eral weeks ago which will change the
present system of lighting on Main
street by having the lights suspended
on poles at the corners and on brack-
cts on the trolley poles. Consider
able opposition has been raised
against this plan by number of cit
szens in that the lighting will be ir-
regular
A number of citizens are anxious to
have installed here the same system
that is being used in Anderson, which
was installed under the plan of public
improvement petition. A date was set
for the hearing of remonstrances and
practically no objection was raised to
the plan.

ADVOCATES CHANGE IN RULES
Problem of Intentional Pass Is
Hard Problem to Solve.

Jim Mcclure, for many years a
leading major league catcher and
now acting as coach and scout for the
Detroit team, declares that the great.
est and best change in the rules Of
baseball was that making foul balls
strikes II the batsman has less than
two strikes upon him. Says Mcclure:
THE rule met the problem brought
up by the constant fouling off Of balls
by batters until the poor pitcher was
tired, and because of sheer exhaustion
had to put the ball over the plate with
nothing on 1t but the hide that the
factory endowed 1t with. 1t was an
easy matter for some of the clever
men OF We olden days to foul off a
dozen balls until that one clothed in
nakedness lobbed up to the plate for
slaughter.
1.-THE next problem that must be
faced and solved is the intentional
pass affair. There Is apparently no
way In which to force a pitcher to
pitch to a man II he wants to pass
him. It has become so bad nowadays
that the managers of the clubs simply
tell their men when to pass certain
batters and the pitcher and catcher
go through the motions Of pitching to
him. while the crowds in the grand
stand generally howl in derision.
They always do it If it's home man
at bat, with a couple Of men waiting
to score and one run needed TO tie
This Is the one problem that the
most astute baseball men in the coun-
try admit there seems to be no solu-
ton for. They also admit that it Is a
problem that must be solved
1T is only in recent years that the
intentional pass problem has come up
Back in the old days there was no
such thing as the Intentional pass. 1t
wasn't considered a game or a neces-
sary thing, But today it is considered
part of strategic baseball.
Even the best batsmen hit safely
only about one in four times. A 300
hitter gets three hits in ten times of.
ficially at bat. He faces a pitcher
oftener than that, however, with his
passes and bases for being hit by
pitched ball
The odds are all with the pitcher
even when facing the best batters,
Nevertheless, few managers refuse to
use the intentional pass and how they
can be forced to discard it is the ques.
ton that must be settled"

RUN STOLEN AUTO INTO DITCH
Two Escaped Jail-Breakers Captured

Fergus Falls.-Clarence Bolden,

They took to the woods and swamps

Feeling that automobile travelling
would be an improvement on foot
travel, they stole machine from the
barn, but had gone only a short dis
lance when they ran into a ditch
and were unable to get out. A posse
was organized and they were sur
rounded and captured, and have been
bound over.

BATTLE OVER A SQUIRREL
Fierce Encounter of Wildcats Results
in the Escape of the Wounded
Prey.

Redwood Peak, GAIA battle royal
between wildcats over the possession
of ground squirrel was witnessed by
a party of mixers near here. Edith
Williamson of Adeline street, with
two companions, John Ross and Will

knoll when their attention was at
tracted by noise in the brush below
them.
Creeping cautiously up and looking
over the brush, the mixers were as
toRshed to see two wildcasts in COM
bat, while wounded squirrel, which
had been caught by one of the cats,
lay on the ground. The squirrel was
evidently the bone of contention"
Splitting, snarling, scratching and tear
ing, the wildcats rolled over and over
in their fury, and the fur flew in ear
nest for about five minutes.
The watchers were prepared to see
a fight to death when the squirrel.
taking advantage of the struggle be-
tween it's deadly enemies, squirmed
off and escaped into nearby burroW.
The escape was noted by one OF the
combatants, which started after the
squirrel, but was just too late to effect
a recapture.
The two big cats thought better OF
renewing the scrap and went off quite
amicably Had the witnesses to the
fight been armed they could easily
have shot both animals, which were
only about thirty feet away.

moose round it. 1t was then towed

1t was in 1898 that Lajoie was told
