TO TRY 10 CENT BALL.
Federal League in Newark Will Give
Fans "Cheap Sport"

New York, Aug. 5.-President
James A. Gilmore, of the Federal
league, announced Wednesday night
that the Federal league would try
out ten cent major league baseball in
Newark instead of fifteen cent base
ball as has been reported
I'VE have considered the ten cent
proposition for some time said Mr..
Gilmore, land intend to try it out in
Newark. On the success made there
our future plans in this direction will
entirely depend. Business Just now
is bad in Newark and we recently
have received many letters from fans
there saying they would like to pat
ronize our team but could not afford
to pay the prices asked"

If the Lincoln Tigers would not
use all their lucky stuff against the
SaVages they might have a chance to
win from few other clubs.
The fate of Des Moines is in the
hands of IsbelPs pitchers Unless
they get back in their own stride
without delay there will be no flag
Golf has the Scotch hardihood to
survive with bare knees and it is only
beginning to thrive here. On the
other hand there are many fad spe-
cialists carrying a bag of sticks these
days.
One thing that will make golf a
permanent thing is that it furnishes
recreation and diversion to people
who cannot get the Sc things other
wise. 1t gives the man who earns
his living by keeping a chair warm
chance to stretch his legs And the
world is learning that the brain works
better when the legs have something
to do occasionally.
The Memphis club of the Southern
league claims n new worlds record of
five double plays in one game. Not to
be OutdOne, the Wichita club claims
record of having put out two Lincoln
base runners ut the plate at one time.
Mcfarland are going to do battle to
each other for the munificent consid-
Grafton of $50, The bout will be
held at Brighton Beach, September
Baden, Ind, and Mike at St. Paul,
Mich. The bout will be another of
those ten-round babies.
Another argument in favor of trans
ferring the Observation-Disclosures game
from Lincoln to Topeka is that most
of the big WaShburn games will be
played out of town this season The
K. U. game will be at Lawrence, the
Baker game at Baldwin and the c. of

The latest issue of Sporting Life
announces that Red" Roche, former
ly with Topeka and Wichita, is about
to join a Federal league club. Roche
has had a varied career during the
few years he has been in baseball and
the reason is not hard to find He
fell into the clutches of Hedges, and
when Hedges ties strings to a young
ster they are mighty hard to unknot.
The n. Y. Yankees, the only big
league club that seems to be buying
players from the minors this season, is
said to be after Shortstop Hartford OF
Des Moines, Catcher Kruger of
Yankees also are said to have bought
Mogridge and Vance to add to their
pitching staff. With all of these men
they will have a pretty good assort-
ment from the w. L.
Ever hear of u pitcher using too
much stuff and too frequently?
That's what two Cleveland hurlers
are doing this season, according to
many members of the Boston Red
SoX. They assert that Guy Morton
and Fritz Coumbe are such hard
workers that they put everything they
have on every ball they serve to a
batter. AS a consequence they say
that Coumbe tires before the ninth in
ming and they predict that Morton
will do the same soon, though they say
mis- physique now helps him out.

WHAT THE VOTERS SAY!

next Tuesday that we stand for and approve that action on the part of the Democratic organization?
 H. There has been q reasonable demand among our business interests recently for men in places of authority who are repre- sentative of business life men who consi- der political preferment secondary to gen eral community welfare. We have said we wanted men whose actions in official life would be governed by what would advance the interests of the whole community most. We have such a man in Harry A. Jones, the Democratic nominee. Are the business interests to be sighted for independent seI- fish political aggrandizement? You must answer.
 III. An issue of religious prejudice has been raised in this election that has no pro- per place in our political affairs. Harry A. Jones in this race is the representative of the Democratic party and the representa- tive of the business interests of our city.

You should not permit other issues to be raised against him outside the quaIfica- lions of clean manhood and capabilities to fiii the office Of mayor. All else is for mo- tive, that motive being to defeat this party nominee.
 ". THE UNDERSIGNED take pleasure in personal and political endorsement of Harry A. Jones. Having reached that stage in our political history when the choicest of citizenship takes an interest in political af- fairs, we regard it as our duty as we'll as our pleasure to support him, not alone with our votes, but with our influence, to the end that in the future our standards Of political and official life may be raised. We urge you, as se!!cw citizens, to join with iEi tie support of Harry A. Jones, and the Democratic nom- inees, pledging ourselves as a guarantee that his administration will be the best Hot Springs has ever enjoyed:

Waste Cans Used

The town council is well pleased with the use that the public IS making of the waste cans which it had placed in front of the post office, on the bank corner and at Kennedy's corner. From the amount of paper and other waste material that has been deposited in these places it is clear that the public likes to have clean streets and is willing to do it's share to keep them clean. The council has received requests for the placing of more of these cans. It is probable that a number more will be added in the near future.

 It is to be hoped that some such plan as that proposed may be adopted by the club. It would prove a great attraction to summer visitors as well as 2 source of much pleasure to the members of the club and thell families.

Good Work Reported

Those who have ridden over the section of road which has recently graded between Putnam Valley and Maine, reported that first class work has been done and that the raod is in excellent condition. One of the most en- couraging features of the work is that it is of a permanent nature. Henceforth it's upkeep should call for but small expense. With this policy. carried out the county over, future generations have the promise of really good roads in spite of the extremely large mileage which this county has to care for. ~

Talking Summer Resort

The Gate-Way Club is talking summea resort these days. The plan of securing a lease of some Lake such as Coleman lake or Mcclellan dam, and then erecting house tents or summer houses about it for the use of members of the club is the one meeting with most favor. If the Club itself could not lease the land about one of these, the same end could be attained by individuals selecting five acre lots about the body of water for summer resi- dences. .r~;
 The water would, of course, be well stocked with fish, and skiffs would be built for the use of members of the club. Bath ing might also be made a feature.
 Itis not an easy matter to de- eide between Coleman lake and Me Lellan dam. Coleman lake is larger in area and has more beautiful surroundings. Me Lel- ! Ian dam, however, is more access
