: taxpayer writes that the town
ought to ley out a legal road through
the john +. Snow and Durham farms
near the Wcstmoreland line. Every
spring the Connecticut river road is
overlooked and has to be abandoned
and at such times the only way be
tween this town. and WestmoreIand is
through the Snow and Durham farms.
This is not legal read and is not kept
up, antl the, owners CT the farms might
close II any time. A road laid out
back of the Snow barn would give q
straight level way ana avoid the neces-
sity Of going down Hill and turning a
sharp curve and passing through the,
Snow dooryard as at present.

PLAYERS GETTING TOO MUCH
President Charles ebbsts Of Brooklyn
Team, says Salaries Are Alto
0ethsr Too Hloh.

Charley Ebbets. president Of the
Brooklyn National League club. de.
clares that salaries of ball players are
away out Of proportion to the value Of
services rendered by the men and that
he for one does not intend to be held
up by them any longer. II they are
not satisfied with what he offers them
they can Jump to the Federal league.
Discussing the subject not long ago
Ebbets said:
1--WE grown tired Of coddling the
players and submitting to their hold.up
tactics. All last season tried to keep
my players In line by meeting the Fed
eral league offers. That has cost me
lot of money. But ! am through
with those tactics.
1.-THE whole gang can jump, II II
wants to. They can't gouge me for an
other dollar. Salaries have been boost,
ed far beyond proportion. Every dol

the players these days.
I'm Offering my men salaries that
think are in keeping with what they
earn. During the past year l have
paid them salaries above their earning
capacity. I'm through now. Any OF
my men who want to jump can jump
I'll fill their places; I'll get semipros

Schalk Is a bundle Of energy. On
the bench he shows the same aggres.
sive spirit he does back Of the bat.
He Is always the first Of Comiskey's
players to report for morning practice
and he is working hard to perfect his
batting power. Just now Schalk Is
showing rare form ut bat and speed on
the bases.
Schalk was a particular pet Of Kid
Gleason, former White Sox coach. It
was Gleason who took the youngster
In hand when the Sox bought him
from Milwaukee. Schalk showed abil.
ity from the start, but he was little
rough on certain plays.
For while he had trouble In solv.
Ing the delivery OF Walsh. Gleason
took pains to coach the kid. He got
down on his knees back Of the plate
and showed Ray how to stop Walsh's
low splitter. Billy Sullivan, the vet.
eran catcher Of the Sox staff. was al.
ways one Of Schalk's particular ad.
visers. Ray always had the whip.
but he had to be shown the weakness
OF various batters. and now he looks
like the best ever seen In Chicago
back Of the bat.

NEVER SAW BASEBALL GAME
Man Employed by Cleveland Club
Twenty-Five Years Never Has
Been Able to Witness Contest.

The oldest man connected with base

He Is David Riblet of Cleveland. For

game in Cleveland's baseball park.

That's how much Of a fan David IL.

be ninety years old. For the last four
years he has been the Waterman In

he has reached the century mark.
But I don't ever expect to see ball

Of those kind Of men who always stick

For IS years Riblet operated the
turnstiles at the bleacher gate. He
says he sometimes grew bit curious
to learn what was happening when the
thousands Of fans shrieked their ap.

never deserted his post Of duty.
And now Riblet can't tell three.

PERSONAL LIBERTY Notes.

Keeping count Of the party pulse,
Representative Frank Woods Of Iowa.
chairman Of the Republican national
congressional campaign committee,
does not believe the prohibition issue
will be an important factor in the ma
tional convention Of either the Re.
publican or the Democratic party next
summer. He believes the issue will
remain nonpartisan.
I'm my opinion" Representative
Woods said, "the question has de.
veloped with prominent men in each
of the political parties taking different
sides Of the question, SO that It will
not be an important political issue in
either Of the national conventions"
With this view the chairman Of the
Democratic national congressional
campaign committee, Representative

1T seems to me that regardless OF
the interest taken in the prohibition

to obtain party pledge for national
constitutional amendments on behalf
either Of prohibition or woman SUI.

The plans OF the prohibitionists in
regard to the city Of Chicago were
given out a few days ago In the Chi.
cago Tribune in special article by
Mr.. Hyde, well known contributor
to that journal.
The substance Of that communica.
ton was that the drys have planned
to attempt to make Chicago dry at
the Municipal elections in April, 1916.
They claim to have already raised
$4,000 for preliminary expenses and
to have engaged Mr.. Reinhart. the
prohibition leader VINO claims to have
carried Arizona for his party, az
leader in the Chicago fight. The
placing of Billy Sunday for campaign
Is also part Of the program. 1t ia

political campaign. It seems like q
