tive to Confer with Admin
istration About Main Street

Protesting residents of South Six

the beard of public works that that
street would be repaired this year.
The former administration delayed it's
Improvement for three years and 1t IS
now in terrible condition. Resi-
dents of the street informed the board
that probably in year or two they
would ask that the street be paved.
All streets in the city which are not
permanently improved are in very bad
shape this spring and at the suggest
len of Mayor Robbins board members
will make an inspection Of all streets
rs soon as possible Streets which
have been damaged by public service
corporations will be ordered repaired
at the expense OF the corporations.
City Attorney Bond said the gas
company had left big hole in the
paving Of North Tenth street, just
north of the railroad, and that yester-
day a man had his wagon broken driv-
ing into it.
There are three streets which must
be repaired by the city as soon as pos
sible," President Bavis said They
are North Sixteenth, South Sixteenth

Thursday for a conference on the pro-
posed raising of the C. & o. bridge
over Main street eighteen inches,
which would affect the grade of the
road from the piano factory trestle

The board today confirmed the resolu'
ton for the paving Of Main street
from Fourth street to the bridge but
before the improvement is started 1t
would like to be assured that the rail-
road company will raise its bridge. If
the company refuses to take such &C
ton the city will have no recourse be-
cause the bridge was constructed on a
grade given the company by former
city engineer.
The board today received petition
for a relief sewer on North Twentieth

there that the basement of his resi-

It Is likely that the guns and swords
that have ben donated to the state and
on which no price could be placed,
never will be removed from their
glass cases in the states museum
again. Risks attend the removal OF
such valuable treasures, and the gov

the county, both in better roads and
financially, it will probably result in
fewer miles of roads being built.
The chart issued by the stats, shows
that Wayne county owes s211 900 in
outstanding bonds for the new county

the past three or four years, and that
on her $40 miles of roads, she spent

The outstanding bonds in this coun-
ty and Randolph are about in the
same proportion but are exceptionally
low compared to other counties. Rush

than Wayne county, has debt of
100000 in outstanding bonds, or
more than twice Wayne's debt
This county's experiment in con
crete roads. may throw an entirely
different light on the road situation
here. The Haas and Barton roads

now and will be given a severe test
to prove the assertions Of Wayne
county, Mich, authorities of the value
of the concrete road.
The two roads will be completed in
August and will be about four miles
long.
Try Concrete.
The reason the commissioners were
willing to dabble in concrete, is the
fact, that they are trying to find a
material which will be equally salts

Of macadam and gravel roads.
With the new road just being tried
out, the county's experiment with
paved roads and the condition of the
county treasury in which there i.
little money, road matters are in 8
doubtful condition. One of the county
commissioners is authority for the
statement that no new roads will be
attempted this year. What the follow

circumstances and the tax rate.

commissioners will take up the ques

NATIONAL LEAGUE IS
AF TER TAFT HOLDINGS
Would Buy Chicago Cubs To Be
Certain That Murphy Ele-
ment Is Out of Game.

HARRISBURG, Pa. March g.-Gov-
ernor Tener has offered to take an op-
ton for the purchase of Charles p.
Taft's holdings in the Chicago National
League cIug for $4,000. the idea being
to have the league get control Of the
club and dispose OF 1t to the best In
terests OF organised baseball.
There are conditions to be studied
carefully in the action OF Mr.. Taft
whereby Charles II. Thomas is made
president Of the Cubs" said Governor
Tener. The original agreement with
Charles p. Taft calls for the establish
Ment in Office Of q man acceptable TO

intention of Mr.. Taft to have Thomas
serve as president. There have been
objections flied already.

over Charles w. Murphy. / made It
for men OF the Murphy caliber. II
there is any suspicion of Murphy 4
hand being in the appointment OF
Thomas. that makes the latter an un-
desirable
There appears no room for doubt re-
garding Governor Tener's intention to
make thorough job of housecleanins
in the National League. He admitted
today that he had made Charles p Taft
a tentative offer of $4,000 for the Cubs.
This was at time when Mr.. Taft had
announced his willingness to sell his
holdings. The National League presi-
dent had in mind at that time a sale of
TIE Cubs which would give control to
a cOteric of Chicago residents.
From the stand taken by Governor
Tcncr. 1t is evident that neither Muir
ply nor his champions will be counte-
nunced in the National League. The
erstwhi!e president OF the Cubs st,ll
owns one-half of the Philadelphia Ma
tional League grounds. and has the
same interests in the Chicago grounds,
but Governor Tener is not disposed to
permit any ally OF the man he ousted
from the National League to hold a
position that will permit Murphy to
have a say in the affairs Of the club.

RESERVE CLAUSE TO
Be TESTED IN COURT
Suit Over Bill KiIlifer's Jumping
Will Have Tremendous Ef.
feet on Baseball.

Dropping bombast, tongue lashing and
tit-for tat tactics. the war between Or
ganized baseball and the Federal League
has at last gained for itself the dignity OF
action In the United States district court
The suit to restrain Catcher Bill Killifer
from playing with any club other than
the Chifeds virtually will be test OF
the reserve clause which appears in all
lesgue contracts.
The legal cunning will be a fight to
the death BY the Federals. II the
courts decided that Killifer may jump
his Chicago contract and return to the
Ftillies. as he has decided to do. II will
mean that all major league stars may
quti the Federals providing their former
contracts contained the reserve clause.
The outcome is of vast import to the
Tener--ohnson outfits also, as the re-
serve clause has been recognized as the
tuIwark Of organized baseball
The Kf.lifer case developed several
interesting angles. 1t showed the Fed
erals are in earnest when II comes to
salary talk, for the baCkstop signed for
three years for q total Of N7,5Oo ac-
ccIding to the court petition. This
figure undoubtedly looked good to Bill
u til the Phillies edged in and raised
the ante. The court was informed that
still retained.

put forward such n crop of talent as

proof armor all season TO avoid being
pierced by those gstling gun throws
which Wally will issue with prospective
besestealers on the bags. With that
poor old sore arm WalIy shot the ball
to second so fast in the aforesaid prac-
tice game that Collins had time to look
around and exchange the pleassntrics
of the day with Amos Strunk in center
field before the runners came within
tagging distance.
Schang is heavier than he WAS last
year. but it is all solid weight, no adj
pose tissue. He looks nov as thong 4
he would be catching when Ira Thomas

When Schang's speed is noted, the
cid question is again asked: lis there
no way that a catcher can Civ. his
signals without having TO do the SQUAT
ting act?" If 1t were not for that, WaIIy
Schang would be able to retain his
a question Of time before he slows up,
because no man can stand the constant
strain on his leg muscles that a catcher
must undergo and not feel the effects.
Who the third catcher of the Mack
