Size and Color Used in Different
States Described.

For 1914 there will be no change in
size or quality of the number plates
for motor cars in New York state. The

lowed by separate series of 9999 each,
with letter preceding. They ran as
far as "E" plates. Dealers tags for

each duplicate and instead of the let
ter M" have the word dealer

The directors of the different teams
in the Trolley League which furnished
the cities Of Augusta, Hallowell, Gar
diner and the town of Winthrop with
some excellent baseball in the season
Of 1913, are beginning to get busy for
the coming season. Winthrop as is al
ways the case, will put first class
team upon the diamond and the fans
of that town say that they are deter
mined to carry off another pennant. 1t
is said that Hallowell will have some
men behind the guns who can deliver
the goods. Gardiner is sure to be rep
resented by strong nine while the
Capital City will not be behind In the
running. The management of the Au-
gusta team is already endeavoring to
secure some star players and while
there is not as yet any definite an
nouncement it comes from a we'll
known source that Bart Folsom has
something up his sleeve in the way of
twirlers. The Ruel Williams field will
be put into first class condition and
when Mayor NeWbert losses the first
ball for the 1914 season to start there
is likely to be something doing.

Baseball Players are Senti-

Baseball never would have reached

There are mon in baseball who have
about as much regard for a dollar rs
they have for their throwing whips.
You get h a class everywhere. All of
ns play baseball because the sport
provides tho means of a good living.
But all ball players play the game also
because thev are attracted by its mag
netic qualities.
Spirit Never Dies.
There isn't a ball PLAYER living who
hasn't a deep-seated affection for the
sport-who doesn't crave for it when
conditions or necessity takes him AVA
from it.
The spirit of the game never dies.
A man may become ~disgruntled b"-
