meetin of the general committee at
my offices last night chairman of the
twelve sub-committees reported. In
nearly every case they met with sur
prising success. They found senti-
ment generally favorable to the enter
prise and most of the Rotarians want
to have a hand in it. The club will
have an excellent showing to make
when 1t reports to the committee of
the Chamber of Commerce on Satur-
day."
Another meeting of the Rotary
committee will be held Friday eve
ming at Mr. Musser's offices. By that
time 1t is believed a complete round
up of the club will have been made
and work on outside solicitation be-
gun.
Names for the new hotel continue
to be suggested. To-day brought one
from well-known Harrisburger as
follows:
Names galore have been suggested
for the new hotel to be built in this
city. Some are good and some are
well that's up to the committee.
Nevertheless 1t shows the natives are
having the time of their life trying to
name the hotel. I wish to add an
other name to the list, one which has
been overlooked-The Blue Ridge
which would harmonic with It's
surrounding for. the hotel. it being
virtually located at the foot of the
range OF mountalns Of that name"

for his arrest were heard and the
court fixed 2 o'clock this afternoon
for the purpose.
The young brakeman. according to
his petition, was arrested upon COM
plant of A. l.. Hoffman for attempt
Ing to defraud his clearinghouse
keeper of a board bill of between $40
and $50. He was hailed before Alder
man kramme and despite efforts of
himself and his friends to persuade
the alderman not to send him to Jail,
the young prisoner was sent to prison.
Says Warrant Was Illegal
In the request for the writ this
morning, however, Penner declares
that not only was the commitment
made out incompletely but that there
was no specific information made and
that the warrant itself was not
properly drawn.
The request for the writ of habeas
corpus was the only high light in a
rather routine session of Septem ber
court this morning.
In No. room, Joseph Osborn. one
OF the Southern negroes who had been
arrested in Steelton for carrying con-
cealed deadly weapons got SIS fine
and four months in Jail. And in i'm
posing sentence Judge McCarrell
again called attention to the deter
mination of the Dauphin authorities
to break up the practice of lawless-
ness especially by law-breakers who
come into the county from other
places.
Just Time For One Thing
Osborn's story, briefly was that he
only carried the gun because he fear
ed that fellow-negroes were intent
upon shootin' him up.' Upon the
night of his arrest. he said that some
one had been shooting at him and
that he had to rum
Didn't you look to see who was
shooting ?" demanded Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Fox.
'Theah wasn't no time, sub, to do
but one thing, suh," gravely observed
the prisoner.

What was that?"

American League
Dodgers Still Lead;
Phillies Trail Along

The slender margin of one game
still keeps Brooklyn in the van in
the gruelling chase of the National
League pennant. The leaders had
to win yesterday to retain their
place in front, for a defeat in the
face of the Phillies' victory, the
champions, by virtue of the lesser
number of games they have play
ed, would have taken the lead. Bos-
ton, winning twice, gained half a
game and now stands three and
one-half games behind Brooklyn.
The Phillies still have nine
games to play. three with Brooklyn
and six with Boston; Brooklyn has
remaining eight games, one with
Chicago, three with PHILADELPHIA
and four with New York; Boston
has eleven left. five with New York
and six with Pat Moran's men.
The situation is such that New
York, In fourth place, still has a
physical chance If it can keep IN
its great winning streak. Nc
Graw's men are six and one-baIf
games behind Brooklyn, with ten
games to play. The standing of

NEARLY 1000 IN CONTEST.
Butler County Students Compete IL
Spelling Tests.

Special to Times Republican.
Greene, Dec 3O.-The pupils of the
public schools of Butler county are now
taking part in the county spelling con-
tests. Nearly 1000 students took part
in the first test sent out, and twenty OF
them received 100 per cent and about
two hundred received 80 per cent. In
the second test some Of the grades
we're lower. while others raised theirs.
Four written tests will be sent out, and
{ then will come the oral tests which
will probably be given at the farmers
institute and short course which will
be held at Greene, Parkersburg and
Dumont.
During the fall term the smallest ru-
raj school in Butler county was at
District No. 1, in Dayton township.
where there were only three pupils in
attendance. 1t was found that it cost
$22 per pupil per month to operate this
school, not counting fuel.
The next smallest school was two
miles northeast Of Kesley, where the
cost was $1l.20 per pupil per month,
and the school board closed the school
J for the winter term.
The largest school in the county was
one mile east Of Kesley, where there
were .thirty-nine enrolled
The<school with the lowest cost per
pupil was No. lin Jackson township,
where the cost was s1.67 per pupil. and
this was because the teachers salary
was so small.

Review Of Sports
and Athletic News

Davenport, Dec. 30.--The organiza-
ton of new Iowa and a new Illinois
league out of the territory OF the Cen
trail Association and the Three.I
games between the two circuits is the
radical suggestion James L. Hayes, OF
the Davenport Blue SoN offered for the
rehabilitation of both baseball circuits.
To-day he mailed a letter in duplicate
to President Tearney of the Three-I
League and to President NJ. Il. Justice
of the Central Association, outlining
his suggestion.
In his communication to the league
executives he urges that joint meet
ing of the two leagues be held in the
near future. If possible by Jan. 3.
The letter explains his ideas in de-
tail as follows:
Here is a plan that might revive
the interest in baseball and help out
the attendance in your league: Get
together and call a joint meeting on
the Three-I League and Central Assoc
citation for the purpose Of arranging
the details for forming two state
leagues. Iowa and Illinois. Each state
league to play forty-two games at
home and forty-t two on the road, total
eighty four games. These games to be
played by Aug. l within their own cir
cults. each state to award its own PEN
nant in the usual way. Then on Aug.
l start an Interstate series of forty
eight games to determine which is the
better league-twenty- -four games to
be played in Iowa parks and twenty
four games to be played in Illinois
parks-four Iowa clubs open the series
in Illinois and four illinois clubs open
: the series in Iowa. The league VIM
ming the most games to be declared the
| champions and to be entitled to fly a
pennant in each of those parks as
Interstate champions"
''The gate receipts in the interstate
series to be split 5o-50-the gate re-
ceipts in each league to be divided
as provided by their constitution.
SHOULD the plan appeal to your
clubs lie meeting should be called at
an early date. say by Jan. 9TH
The suggestion is radical enough
and undeniably has the advantage OF
arousng interest. Whether or not it
| is too radical to be accepted by the
| baseball men of both leagues remains
! to be seen.
At present the Three-t League con-
sists of seven Illinois towns and
Davenport as the only Iowa member.
| With this. city ont of the circuit the
clubs 4 remaining would be Moline
Rock Island Peoria, Rockford. Bloom
| ington. Hannibal and Quincy. Spring
| field. Decatur and Danviile in addition
! to Galesburs and other smaller towns
offer Possibilities as a successor to
Davenport to complete an Illinois
| league. =
The, Central Association beat which
would furnish the nucleus of the Iowa
league last year consisted of Cedar
Rapids, Waterloo. Muscatine. Clinton
Marshalltown, Fort Dodge, Ottumwa
and Mason City. Some of these towns
are not in the best condition in ref
erence to baseball and the new Iowa
league with Davenport and Dubuque
included would be much stronger than
the Central Association has been.

Special to Times Republican.
Quincy, H., Dec. 30.-Basehall mag
mates of Quincy. on the alert to find
way to save the game in this city,
have come forward with plan to or
Sanize a new league TO be composed OF
the best towns in the Three-l League

Il feeling here that baseball, to be a
paying proposition in Quincy. must
have a rebirth in a new league, as the
Three-I as now constituted is not re-
garded as a strong organization des-
tined to survive any great period OF

1t is suggested here that -four
Three-T League towns and four Cen

organization, a class G league. with
Cedar Rapids, Marshalltown, Waterloo

representatives. II is also suggested
that Dubuque be admitted in place oil

Haughton's suggestions to increase the
batting by stripping the pitchers OF
some OF their great authority. The two
principal changes suggested are to
limit the foul strikes to one and to give
man his base on three balls instead
Of four.
President johnson will probably
suggest now rule to do away with
the intentional pass. THIS is a feature
of baseball which Is continually Kissed
by fans and there is q strong inclina-
ton among club owners 10 do away
with tho practice of giving a strong
batter his base purposely instead OF
giving him chance to hit the ball.
The meeting OF the rules committee
is also to bring about legislation OF
some kind against the moist ball and
the use Of other artificial means OF
making pitching more effective.
