GOOD SEASON IS
EXPECTED IN CA.
Teams Lineup in Excellent
Shape During Spring Train
ing Session.

Burlington, Ia, April 20.-The prac
tice season in the Central association
is on in full swing, and there is not a
note of dissention from any quarter
with the showing being made by the
prospective teams. The various man.
ayers have already begun to discard
some of their recruits. The results of
games between Central association
squads and the teams in higher
league or leagues of an equal rank are
quite satisfactory, and indicate that
there viii be some high class baseball
in this circuit this summer.
Manager Egan's Ottumwa team is
attracting a good deal of attention
during the try-out season, because it
is composed almost entirely of young
men who are new to this league, and
a number of them new to organized
baseball. Egan's reputation for hav-
fng won two pennants for the Ottum-
wa management has made him a con-
spicuous figure in the league, and his
new departure of discarding old men
and making up a team of youngsters
has attracted a good deal of attention.
Manager Hough of Clinton has a
number of young players but a num-
Der of experienced players make his
team look like the last season squad.
He has been fairly successful so far
this season in contests with other
teams. The new ball park is being
put into condition and will soon be
ready for the regular games. Marsh
alltown continued to be a place of con-
siderable interest to the Central asso-
aio 70 &c e-N,- 4,
of the team there can be ascertained
yet. Manager Richards seems highly
pleased with the outlook, and he is
going at the matter of wedding out as
though he meant business.
The Waterloo team is reckoned to
be a strong one, from advance ad-
vices. Manager Andrews has an in
field that he is proud of and in which
he is placing a great faith. Tex Shell
don, Paddy" Siglin, Jimmy McAuley |
and Joe Wentz form the combination |
Manager Abbott of the Keokuk team
is getting some good work out of the |
squad he has collected in that city. He !
has enough men to form two teams, |
and some lively contests are being |
staged there.
Manager Boyle of the Muscatine |
club is still adding men to his team, !
and this has caused comment. Usual /
ly Boyle is pretty well satisfied who is /
to be. members of his regular team by |
this time, and the fact that he is sign
ing new material now looks as though |
he needed some kind of talent he has
not yet secured.
Cedar Rapids is busy with all sorts
Of exhibition games. From contests
with college clubs Manager Hill has
contracted for nearly every kind of
baseball exhibitions. lastly signing up
he Chinese ball team that is travelling
n this country.
The Burlington team has been at
home for a week and has given a num- I
Der of good exhibitions. The most ex-
'iting was with Regina, Canada, which /
broke up in a row and a fist fight.

MERCHANT ANSWER WELL WISHER.

Mr.. Editor:
Well Wisher writing In defence Of the
Police Jurors from the lst Ward wants
the merchants to quit kicking about the
negligence Of the Police Jury In caring
for our Terrace. and L0reauville roads.
The people Of st. Msrtinvills have at no
time acted as chronic kicksrs towards
the Police Jury. and 1t Is perhaps for
this reason, that their interests have
been ignored by their public servants.
During period Of two years the work
done by the Police Jury in the lot ward
was four aud half months, during the
let year Of their administration. four
months Of this time was given TO the
roads 10 the immediate section where
the two Police Jurors Of the lot Ward
live; Once the Terrace road was scrap
cd and the balance Of the Is days were
put on the New Iberia road where no
one In the lot ward is In the least in
tsrssted. But the main roads through
design or negligence Tor the lst time
since the organization Of the parish
these roads were not touched for q
period of now nearly ~ years.
During these two and half years the
Police Jury has appropriated $1,000
dollars for road purposes aud borrowed
2O.OOO dollars for the specific purpose Of
road building. The question would
ask Well Wisher 10 how much Of that
money went on the roads leading TO st.
Martinvills and II none Of that money
went on the roads where was 1t put

Information For Fair Play.

A writer signing Fair Play in

Why 10 the st. Msrtinvills high

Why is st. Msrtinvills high

ordinary heaters.
Why 10 the st. Msrtinvills high
