A Daring Critter.

Noticing that several fans have ex-
pressed In this column their predio-
tons OF the coming pennant race, a
writer has come forward with some
thing new. But here's his PROPOSE
ton:
"In picking the standing OF the diff
ferent clubs in the American League
this coming season, / notice that
none OF your correspondents seem
to think that the Washington club
has a chance to finish In the first
division. They may be right, but
little bet on the proposition, 1 have
500 to wager against 1900 that
Washington wins the pennant."
Now go to him, boys!

Lag Garrett Forgot

NEW ORLEANS, March 23.--
Lengthy Laz Garrett had the
worst case of blues in the In
dams training camp for five
days. Then all of a sudden he
chirked up, appeared on the
field with the joy-light in his
eyes and demanded to pitch,
putting so much steam on the
ball the catchers could hardly
hold it. $50 -
He hadn't had a letter from his
young bride in West Virginia
during that blue spell and was
fearing all sorts of dire calami-

he had been asking for mail in
his old room after he had been
moved to another room at the
hotel.
He asked for the right number
and got a flock of letters, and

Dog, Men Are RaIIying.

Washington lovers OF thorough
bred dogs are rallying to the sup
port of the coming bench show OF the
Washington Kennel Club with might
and vim. II will probably be a
three-point show, which IL some-
thing Washington has never yet
staged.
The Capital boasts OF some OF the
best dogs In the country, particular
ly In the bulldog, Boston terrier, and
collie classes. But owners OF all
kinds OF dogs are entering this 1915
show and, according to Secretary
Watson, 1t will easily be a three
point show.
Being a three point show means
that a number OF thoroughbreds will
be shown here simply because those
three points will make them cham
pions In their classes.
The Washington Kennel Club Is
going into this bench show business
this spring with a splash.

CENTRE COLLEGE
TO PLAY HERE
Undefeated Stanford High School
Nine to Go Against Fast Com
pany Here Friday.

The Stanford High School base
ball team has been sweeping all op-
position before so far this season,
having won every game played to
date. Hustonville has been beaten
twice, the Deaf boys twice, and at
Mt. Vernon Saturday the mountain
GERS were taken into camp by the
tight score of 10 to 9, a game re-
plete with errors and weird plays.
The real contest of the season, will
come here Friday, however, when the
strong Centre College team of Dan
vile will cross bats with the local
high school lads. Centre has a strong
aggregation of ball tossers this sea-
son and of course, on dope, should
figure to put it all over the high
school lads, who are much younger
and less experienced in the great
national pastime. The local team
this season, however is far above the
average and will put up the game of
us lie, anu Tile CcICIc lllIlc Will IIlu
that it has no easy picking to de-
feat it. Additional interest will be
given the game by reason of the fact
that Spalding Hill, an old Stanford
High man, is playing third base on
the Centre team this season and is
said to be distinguishing himself by
his fast work. Already much inter-
est has been aroused in the forth
coming game, for this is the first time
in many years that Centres Varsity
team has condescended to come to
Stanford for a game with the high
school team. The Mt. Vernon team
will play here Wednesday against
Stanford.
The box scores of the two games
against the Deaf boys follow. In
the second game played here, Cover
held them hitless and put up a fine
exhibition in the box. The scores:

daughter of the late w. G. Routt and
is a woman of charming personality.
She will indeed be a help to the man

WANT OIL ON THE STREETS
One Block of Business Men Prove
Themselves Very Progressive

The merchants and business men
on the block between Depot street
and Mill street are among the most
progressive in Stanford. Seeing lit
tie chance for oiling of the streets
unless something heroic is done, Pro-
prietor E. C. Jordan, of the St. Asaph
hotel, circulated a subscription pa
per among the business men on the
block, and secured the signatures of
nearly all of them to sufficient
amount to put down oil. The grease
was applied last week and when the
high wind hits town all of the rest
suffer except those business men on
that block Plans are said to be I'M
der way by which the Woman's Club
and the City Council may through
cooperation secure necessary funds
to oil the whsle Sowtl This Us an
Improvement which is felt to be al
most a necessity since the benefits
of oiling were so clearly demonstra-
ted last summer and the citizens and
taxpayers will undoubtedly approve
any legitimate steps taken to secure
funds to oil the whole city.

SPECIAL COMMITTEE NAMED
To Look Over Field and Recommend
New Pastor at Danyille.

At the formal congregational meet
ing of the Danville Christian church
held Sunday, the action of the Off
cial Board in accepting the resigna-
ton of DIR. H. C. Garrison, was APP
proved, since it was shown that DR..
Garrison earnestly desired it to be
done. The church also approved the
appointment by the board and the
deacons of a special committee the
purpose of which shall be to look
over the field with view of secur-
ing a new pastor. Relations between
DIR. Garrison and his congregation
will not be finally severed until fall,
however, it is, the expectation,
which will give him ample time to
make arrangements to move to a
more congenial cline, and at the
same time give the church's special
committee ample leisure to weigh
well the qualifications of those who
may be considered for the vacancy
in the pastorate. The special COM
mittee which will have this duty in
hand is composed of several of the
best known and most prominent
members of the Danville congrega-
ton. Mr.. Gus Rogers is chairman
of the committee and the other men,
bers are Messrs. Richard Cobb, JAS

POPULAR CRAB
ORCHARD BOY
Babe" DeBorde Passes Away at His
Home In East End Friday Af-
ter Lengthy Illness.

The death of Leon c. DeBorde at
Grab Orchard last Friday night came
as great shock and source of sin
cere regret and grief to the host of
friends of this popular young man
both in the East End and here where
ne lived a number of years ago.
Known to his friends and relatives
for years as Babe" few more pop
ular young men had ever been rear
ed in the East End. Genial, whole
souled, companionable, a steadfast
friend always, Co know him was to be
his friend and it was true that they
were numbered by his acquaintance.
Years ago when his father, the late
Col. George DeBorde, was jailer of
the county, the young man lived in
Stanford, and many of the men now
who were boys at that time, will al
ways have a tender spot in their
hearts for Babe" who was a gen
eral favorite with all. From his
splendid father, he inherited his I'M
compromising Democracy, and his
party had few more effective work
ers or champions in the East End of
the county than he.
The deceased was only 80 years
of age, but for years had been a vic
tim of asthmatic rheumatism, and
death came as a relief to his tortured
frame. He bore his sufferings brave
ly, however, and few realized how
much he was suffering at times He
was the youngest child of the fam
lily and the favorite of all. His bro
theirs and sisters are Jailer George
F. DeBOrde, of this city, John and
Henry DeBorde. of Crab Orchard,
Misses Salile and Bette DeBorde, of
Crab Orchard, and Mrs. Holdam Stu
art, of Long Beach, Cal.
An immense throng attended the
funeral services of this popular
young man held at the family home
Sunday afternoon. Brief yet i'm
pressive services were conducted by

tai remains were laid to rest in Crab
Orchard cemetery. The pallbearers

TO ANNOUNCE
NEXT WEEK
Senator Montgomery Says He Will
Formally Get Into Race for Con-
gress in 9th, at That Time

Senator Charles F. Montgomery,
of Liberty, stopped by in Stanford
a few minutes Monday morning en-
route from his home to Frankfort,
where he is attending the sessions of
the senate which is trying the i'm
parchment charges against County
Judge j. E. Williams, of McCreary
county. He talked with friends here
regarding his race for the Democrat
ic nomination for Congress. Senator
Montgomery stated that his formal
announcement as candidate will be
made next week, and that he is great
ly pleased with the strong assurances
of support he is receiving from all
over the district. He said that as
soon as his formal announcement is
made, he will inaugurate a speaking
campaign and endeavor during the
three and a half months which will
elapse before the primary is held
the first Saturday in August to speak
in every school house in the district
and to shake the hands of as many
democrats as is possible. Senator
Montgomery said that already many
of his friends over this district are
making organizations for him in
their counties and are telling him
that his prospects are splendid all
over the district.
From here Senator Montgomery
went to Danville, where he remain
ed few hours, meeting friends and
advising leading democrats of his
candidacy. The Danville Advocate
said of his visit there:
Senator Charles F. Montgomery,
of Casey county, was in Danville a
short time Monday morning en-
route to Frankfort where he is sit
ting on the impeachment trial of
Judge Williams, of McCreary coun-
ty. Senator Montgomery came by
Lincoln where he conferred with
number of friends in regard to his
candidacy for the democratic NOM
ination for congress, which, he says,
will be formally announced next
week. Senator Montgomery says
that he has had remarkable assur-
ances of support from all over the
Eighth district and that he is con-
fdent that he will be nominated. Re
ports brought here by prominent
democratic politicians from this end
of the district are very encouraging
to Montgomery. Leading democrats
of Lincoln county say that if Con-
gresham Helm makes the race for
Senator Montgomery
who is himself a native of Lincoln,
will run him a neck and neck race
in that county. In other neighboring
counties, reports are that there is a
sentiment for the nomi-
nation of Senator Montgomery"
