it where the men might sink gaat1g

to fall. Not that he seemed to care
whether the men broke their necks CT
not, but because he could not afford
as manager of the the Cincinnati
team, to have his ten thousand datlar
stars drawing their salaries and laid
up at the same time. So he took his
men and left Covington for New Or

afternoon paper. He was not even

pleasant enough and as if they would

Among these was Secretary Stephens.
1t is quite long story, how the
Cincinnati baseball team came to
visit Covington. Suffice it to say
that Pres. Hermann made a con-
tract to play here one week, and
among other teams they We're to play
the Pelicans. Secretary Stevens,
who is also a stockholder in the as
sociation, came here two or three
weeks ago and stopped at the New
Southern Hotel several days. In the
meantime he visited the ball park al

timber; and it will be necessary fol
the parish to pay for the timber cut
in laying out the right of way fol
said new road, even assuming that
they did not have to pay anything
for the land taken for said right Of
way.
Fourth, that the proposed change
in said road via Keller's bridge to
Abita Springs, La, will make the
road longer between the said towns
mentioned, and therefore greater
expense to the parish to build.
Fifth, that the settlement III anG

length, that leads from LacoInhe, La
to st. Tammany, La, and which coll
meets with the Slidell-Mandeyil,e and
Ecyington road and the Abita Springs
and St. Tammany-Florenville and
Pearl River road: and ths people
a*ound said Keller's bridge are about
two and one-half miles from st. Tam
many, La, which gives them full
and adequate public road services tu
any point in the parish, as soou as
the surveyed line from Abita Springs
to st. Tammany, Florenvil!e and
Pearl River, La, is built.
Sixth, that if the surveyed road is
changed to pass by Kellet's bridge
we would respectfully call tnis body s
attention to the fact that the settle
ment in and around Keller's bridge,
which consists of about ten or twelve
families, will be practically the only
beneficiary of such change, as the
proposed change in the road from
Keller's bridge to Abita Springs, La,

nasium and baths and cinder track
and the various other accessories that
have always been considered very
much up to date in the athletic
world. He was satisfied that every
thing would be all right and SO re-
ported and the team arrived last Sun
day night, coming by boat. 1t is said
that Manager Herzog and Secretary
Stevens quarreied on the boat. How
ever this may be, Herzog was in any
thing but a. pleasant humor when he
reached Covington.. Nothing suited
him. He wanted all the bathrooms
in the hotel and then found fault
with the ball grounds. Said the
ground was, too hard and he would
not risk his players on it. He AMI
Secretary Stevens disagreed, but Mr..
Stevens told the men that he would
not hold it against them if they obey
ed the manager and went back to
New Orleans without playing. That
Mr.. Herzog was their manager, while
he was secretary of the association.

team took the Baton Rouge, Ham,

New Orleans in the afternoon of
Monday. Secretary Stevens tele-,
gcaphe1 the president of the associa-
ton OF the action of the manager.
III the meantime Covington was dis
appointed that things should end tnis
way after all the preparations had
been made for the games.
1t may be stated that there were
twelve shower baths at St. PauIs,
hot water all the time, and six of
the twelve baths in the New Southern
were placed at the clubs disposal.
President Heinemann, of the New
Orleans Club, was unhesitating in his
dencuncement of the action of Man
ager Herzog, and Manager Dobbs
brought the Pelicans over Tuesday,
ready to meet his engagement. to
play the Cincinnati team as schefu!-

not put in appearance, SO game was

We, the undersigned citizens and
taxpayers of the parish of st. Tam
many, La, residing in st. Tammany,
La, and Florenville, La, and vicini-
ty, being deeply interested in the
building of a good road from Abita
Springs, La, connecting with the
Pearl River-Talisheek road at Hick-
ory Greek Church; and whereas said
road has already been surveyed from
Abita Springs, La, to Florenville,
La, alongside the right of way of
the old East Louisiana Railroad, and
thence to Hickory Creek Church; ];
and whereas we have been advised
that an effort has been made to
change the route of said road so as
to have said road run from Hickory
Creek Church to Florenville, La,
thence to Keller's bridge, and thence
in direct line to Abita Springs, La.
We respectfully and earnestly urge
that the proposed change in said
road be not made, and that the road
as at present surveyed be construct
ed as early as possible, for the fol-
lowing reasons:
First, that the right of way mas
already been secured for the survey
ed line and the survey has already
been made.
Second, that said surveyed line is
the most direct line connecting the
towns of Pearl River, Florenyille, St
Tammany and Abita Springs, Louisi-
ana, and will serve and be of bene-
fit to the greatest number of people.
Third, that the police jury mas al
ready declared the surveyed line to
be a public road, and if the road is
changed so as to run via keller's
bridge and thence to Abita Springs,
La, it will necessitate the parish go
ing to the expense of having new
survey made, the securing OF new
rights of way, which will entail the
expenditure of money on accoun. of
said road via Keller's bridge to Abita
Springs and st. Tammany, La, run

be much interested.
Towns that are a considerable dis
tance away will be visited by indi-
yidual members Of committees, in
order to avoid unnecessary expense
in securing contributions to stock and
aid for the fair. It is anticipated
that every live town in the parish
will soon be, actively working for a
permanent fair association.
Over $500 has been subscribed to
stock, in the town Of Covington alone.
This does not include the parish ap-
preparation of $500. II all the rest
of the parish should only equal thie
sum, and it will of course do, much
better than that, the association will
be launched as a going concern.
Taken all in all, things look pretty
bright for the fair.

There has been no abatement in
the interest in the parish fair. While
no land has yet been selected for
the grounds, plans for the promotion
of the fair this fall have been con-
sta4ltly under consideration. There
will be no naste in buying land, be-
cause the selection should have full
consideration, to obtain the best site
possible, and t..is site should be in
Covington and of convenient access.
In the meantime, should selection
not be made in time for the erection
OF buildings this fall, then it might
be proposed to hold the fair this fai'
on the old grounds in the park.
A delegation from the w. p O..
and from the citizens committee ap-
peared before the police jury at their
meeting last Monday and urged the

appropriation Of $500 for the fair
This appropriation was ungrudging-
~ made, as the members seem to be
unitedly in favor of holding these
fairs annually and would regret ta
see them discontinued.
A committee of ladies from the w
P. U. visited Abita Springs and Man
deyille Wednesday afternoon. The
car in which they rode on the motor
line bore a streamer, which said:
"A bigger fair than ever this year. :"
The committee was received at Abita
by Mayor Glisson and Secretary Pons,
who were heartily in accord with the
object in hand. At the next meeting
of the council it will be proposed to
appropriate $50 towards the expenses

What Heinc,nann Says
(Times-picayune. March 24)

(Times-Picayune. March 24)
While the several factions among
the stockholders and officials of the
Cincinnati National League club are
warning among themselves for, SUI
premacy and authority in handling
the affairs of the club, President Alex
J. Heinemann Of Heinamann Park
and New Orleans, rests upon his ulti-
matum of yesterday and awaits the
outcome Of the demand he has made
upon the club for reparation for the
loss sustained by the Pelicans when
Manager Herzog of the Reds refused
to keep his contract with the New
Orleans team at Covington.
.The rights of minor leagues in
eases of this kind must be respected
by the majors, said Heinemann last
night. There have been cases like
this before and the big league clubs
have broken contracts with We little
fellows when everything did not go
to suit them. However, in this case
think the acti of Manager Her
zog was untimely and without good
foundation and l have simply put the
matter up to President Garry Herr
mann of the Cincinnati Club for set
tlement.
81 believe that President Herman
will settle the affair to the satisfac-
tion of all, as much as thing of the
kind can be settled to the satisfac-
ton ofall, but if he does not l shall
certainly folio wthis up through the
National Commission. A contract
must not be helL too lightly. Man
ager Herzog, in this case, did not
have full power to decide the ques-
ton Of the fitness Of the grounds and
we went through with our end o
the contract. to our expense and
trouble.
Meanwhile, there is personal fee.
ing in the matter. The Reds prac-
ticed on our park yesterday and were
welcome to so and there is a pos

Zog Of the cincinnati Reds Baseball
Club and Secretary Harry Stephens
Of the club was the sole topic in base
ball circles here today and there was
considerable difference in the view
points taken by prominent fans with
considerable favor shown Manager
Herzog's reported position as it seem
ed to many baseball fans here that
the trouble is only another phase to
the differences existing previously be-
tween Secretary Stephens and pre-
vious managers, though all of the
details of the present difficulty nave
not been given the careful attention
that hey will have before decision is
made by the officials of the club here.
The present difficulty recalled the
McGraw, of the Giants, refused tC
play exhibition games according to
contract with the New Orleans club
and his forfeiture cost the Giants
$1,000 after the New Orleans man
agement appealed to the National
Commission. Hermann mentioned
that precedent late today in discuss
ing the present case.
President Hermann expressed re-
gret over the friction in the South
From all reports we have clui
better than last year, and the mem
bers are all pulling together. Thi
incident is unpleasant but feel posi-
tive it will be remedied."
There is no tendency to tie Her.
zog's hands OF do anything except
eive him full rein and the fullest CO.
operation. Mr.. Stephens is as much
a supporter of Herzog as anybody
else.''
Herman received a telegram to-
day from Business Manager Frank
Bancroft, who now is in charge of
the Reds, say 'ng the Reds will prac-
tice at the old Pelican park. He in
structed Bancroft tonight to offer to
play off he exhibition genes wit
the Pelicans in New Orleans. Herr
mann insisted tonight that the breach
would not widen to the extent where
it becomes a question of accepting
the resignation of either official Il
am confident the difficulty will be
fixed up" said Garry. II am trying
to get at the bottom of it, and that
may AXE some time. The club could
not afford to lose l-erzog as manager,
that is certain. Mr.. Stephens is also
a capable official and has the inter-
ests of the club at heart"
How would you stand if the is
