the kind Of switch to buy-a single

grounding can be taken care of by
connecting wire to a radiator or

(By ED G. BARROW, President of the
International Baseball League)
The International league Is coming
back" this season. Its prospects have
not been 80 bright for long, long time.
The war is over, confidence is re-
stored and the baseball conditions are
normal again. OF course, the war
caused us some suffering but 1t won't
be long before our organization will
be back on the same high plane as
before the advent Of the outlaws"
The 1916 makeup of the league will
be the same as in the old days-a
compact circle made up of the best
cities in the East. And SO we all are
more than hopeful that brighter days
have come.
The return to Newark and Balti-
more is gratifying. l am confident
that before the season is over the
fans in both cities will be completely
satisfied with the brand of baseball
they will get.
James Price and Fred Tenney, the
new owners of the Newark club, have
made themselves popular by announc-
ing that they will have no major
league connections. Another popular
move was the decision to play the
games n Newark instead of in Har-
rison. Jack Dunn always gave Bal
timore baseball Of major league
caliber, and with no opposition there
this season he is bound to win the
fans back to the support Of his ORR
oles.
Richmond no doubt will make q
much better showing in the way of
attendance this season. BILLY"
Smith is a shrewd and capable mana
ger, and his hushing qualities will
make him popular with the fans. I

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY
Cottage Grove Business Man Is
Candidate for County Rep
resentative

In the proper column this
week The Partisan carries the
announcement of John G..
Tharpe, Cottage Grove business
man, as candidate for the
nomination for Representative
in the Democratic primary of
August 3.
Mr.. Tharpe has been in bust
ness at Cottage Grove for many
years, and enjoys wide popu-
larity, not only among his neigh
bors about Cottage Grove, but
throughout the county. He has
always been a Democrat, as
we'll as a progressive citizen, and
will make a strong race.
Mr.. Tharpe's friends believe
that he will have no trouble in
winning the nomination and in
being triumphantly elected in
November. If he should be sue
cessful he will make creditabie
Representative and no Henry
Countian will ever have cause to
be ashamed of him.
Mr.. Tharpe will endeavor to
see all of the voters before the
date of the primary and earnestly
solicits the support of all.
