BLUEGRASS LEAGUE
REVIVAL REPORTED
Plans Being Silently Made for Opera.
tiOn Of Base Ball Organization
With Clubs at Lexington, Paris,
Frankfort, Maysville, VIM
chester and Richmond
During 1917.
Lexington LEADER

While there is talk of organizing
another circuit next year in Ohio, to
be known as the Ohio State league
there are also rumors floating around
which predict that the old Bluegrass
league will again be in operation dur
ing the year 1917.
Il was learned from well-founded
source today that there are a number
of Kentucky towns that would well
come the advent of this league with
open arms. Among the towns mem
toned for berths in the league are
Paris, Frankfort, Maysville, Lexing-
ton, Winchester and Richmond
The Blugress league was in opera
ton up till about four years ago when
some of the towns with franchises be-
came dissatisfied and decided to throw
up the sponge. Several of the towns
then joined the Ohio State League,
those being Frankfort, Maysville and
Lexington. The league operated till
about the middle of last July, and was
then forced ts quite because of poor
attendance in all of the cities Prac-
tically every club in the Ohio State
league lost money the past season
and sooner than continue they decided
to give it up for the balance of the
season.
The men who are promoting the
plan to recognize the Bluegrass league
are working very slowly and carefully
and expect to have things mapped out
by the first of the year. One thinG
that does more to hurt a class ID
league like the Ohio State or Blue
grass, is the long jumps from one
town to another. This fault is to he
corrected by the Bluegrass league pro-
moters. If the six above towns that
are after beTths in the Bluegrass
league are taken in, there will not be
any long jumps.

star players developed and sent to tho
big show, such as Fred Toney. star
hurler of the Cincinnati Reds; Carl
Weilman. southpaw pitcher, now with
the 81. Louis Browns, and Jimmy Viox,
who played with the Pittsburgh Pr
rates for several seasons and is now
in the International league. While in
the Bluegrass league. Toney was =
member of the Winchester team: Well
man was with Maysville, and Viox
with Lexington.
Casey" Stengel, Brooklyn outfield-
err, who has been performing so bril-
liantly in the present worlds series,
also played in this league, being a
member of the Maysville team in 1910
Other players developed in this league
who have made their marks in high
class professional base ball are: jim
my Jones, Al Kaiser, Fred Mollen-
kamp, "Humpty" Badel, Jim Black,
Earl Williams and Muck" McGray-
nor.

"MARYLLAND WILL GIVE HER
VOTE TO HUGHES

New York, October 17-Maryland
IL no longer a doubtful State, but viii
go for Hughes, declares General n
Winslow Williams of Baltimore. Gen.
eral Williams has been a lifelong
Democrat and served four years as
secretary of State of Maryland. In
1912 he supported Roosevelt and
served as Progressive national COM
mitteeman from his State. He was a
caller at the Hughes alliance head
quarters. "SOme of the most prom
inent Democrats in Baltimore are
actively supporting Governor Hughes, "
declared General Williams. THE presi-
dent of the Hughes Business Mems
league is C. c. Homer, president of the
First National bank aud of the Balti-
more clearing house. He had never
been anything but Democrat up to
1916. One of the leagues vice presi-
dents is Thomas O'Neill, a leading dry
goods dealer of Baltimore, also a life
Icing Democrat S. Stuart Janney. one
of the best known members of the
Maryland bar, and an Old line Demo-
orat, also a vice president of the
league. The secretary and treasurer
OF the league are Democrats. Registra-
tion figures show that Hughes will
carry Maryland. There was a falling
OFF OF 1900 in the Democratic affilia-
tion in Baltimore. while the Repub-
lican aiiiliation increased 1900. In
the last State election the Democrats
won by 5000. Baltimore City gave the
Democratic ticket $500 majority. 1t
is apparent on the basis Of the de-
crease and increase of affiliations that
Maryland is lost TO Wilson"

ELECT OFFICERS
Stockholders Of the New Peoples
Warehouse Pick Out the Heads Of
the CORPORATION for the
Coming Year.

The stockholders of the Peoples
Warehouse Company held their cleo
ton of officers in this city yesterday
The election was the first one held by
the new company. the following were
the directors selected by the stockhold-
ers for running the business of the
corporation: r. l.. Turner, II. b.
Wood, ID. J. Rees, DR.. A. o. Taylor and
Robert Wells.
The following officers were then
chosen:
President and General Manager-R
l. Turner.
Vice Presdent-H b. Wood.
ecretary-Thomas A. Keith, Jr.
Treasured. X. Wood.
Sales Manager--Robert Wells.
Work of erecting the new ware
house will begin at once as three barge
loads of material from the old ware
house in Manchester have arrived and
are being unloaded. Messrs. Harding
and Simons, who have the contract
for tearing down and building have
about completed the work and the re-
mainder of the material will be trans
ported to this city at once.
The outlook of the new concern
seems to be very rosy indeed and the
new officers seem very optimistic over
their success. The new warehouse
now gives Maysville eight looseleaf to-
bacco warehouses and several redry-
ing plants.
The men at the head of the new con-
Germ are among the most prominent
tobacco men in the state Mr.. Robert
Wells, the new sales manager, is
known everywhere for his knowledge
of tobacco and tobacco markets. He
has been connected with the local mar
kets for a number of years and has a
great host of friends throughout the
county. Mr.. Turner, the president, has
also been here for a number of years.
The presence of these men on the floor
o. the new house will doubtless serve
to bring it much business.

Probably more tobacco is raised in

corn the business men have started a
movement for Tobacco-Korn Karni-

Secretary F. p. Boone, representing
the business men of Maysville, was
here Saturday afternoon and called
on Ralph Thomas, secretary Of the

Water Accidents.

At the annual meeting of the Safety
First Association of this city last night
Maj. Pullman, superintendent of police,
noted the important fact that there are
more water accidents as a rule in Wash
ington than motor accidents. Already
during this present fiscal year there
have been twenty eight deaths from
water accidents, as against seventeen
deaths from motor accidents. Last
years record of deaths in the water was
thirty five, and it is hoped to keep be
low that number this year This is pos
sible in view of the short time yet to
go, but il is to be borne in mind that
this is the season of boating and swim
ming and much carelessness is likely to
occur. most excellent work. however.
was carried on here last year, and is
being continued this season in the edu-
cation of the people regarding the use
of the water for pleasure. Public dem
onstrations have been given of methods
of life saving, lectures have been de-
hvered before large numbers illustrat-
ing the needless risks that are commonly
taken on the water, and much progress
has been made toward public education
In this respect. More of thu young, ,peo.

turn the republicans to power. And
then, they asked, why not under the
leadership of the man who had done
well in Office. and had lost through a
bolt inspired by a personal ambition'
Rat Mr.. Taft promptly vetoed the
suggestion. He could see-clear headed
man and good loser that he was-that
the party must be reunited for the next
national test. and that anything re-
sembling a movement for third nomi-
nation for him would retard if not de
feat that end. Hence the absence of his
name from all speculation about this
years republican nomination. He early
forbade. and still forbids it.
Not so with Mr. Roosevelt. He has
coddled during the same time every
suggestion of his name in that cOnnec-
ton. until a movement growing out of
it has reached large proportions. In
fact, with the object of forcing him on
the republicans, those of the boilers of
1912 who still remain outside the re-
publican party have called national
to meet in Chicago at the
time of the republican meeting. and
will say not only that I'VE want Teddy

pie of the city have learned to swim,
although the facilities for that training
are still lamentably deficient. In the
new Central High School. which will be
opened next autumn. a swimming pool
has been provided which will make it
possible to teach every pupil OF that
school how to SWIM but this will be only
fraction of the boys and girls of
Washington. all of whom should have
this instruction. The ideal school build
ing. which it is hoped will be evolved
throughout Washington eventually, will
have tank in which every child can
be taught to swim at the earliest pos
sible age 1t would be better to have
swimming pools in the grade schools, so
that children of eight or ten years can
be trained in self control and self-pres-
ervation in the water than to postpone
this instruction to the high schools.
