SNOW PIouGHs TO SAVE STREET
Montclair Asked To Try New Way
tO End Ripping ~ Autos.

MoNrcLAiR, n. j.. March lo.--John c.
Barclay ANTS Montclair TO use snow
plouehs to clear the streets after storms
80 that automobiles viii not he forced
to run In n single track. as has been
the case after all of the heavy snow
storms OF the winter. Mr.. Barclay says
that his plan would save the streets.
He believes that the streets throughout
the town are in the wrost condition
they havc been in for years. because
every one driving al automobile has had
to use non-skid devices In forcing a
way through the snow. The single track
made by the first automobile has been
followed by the divers of all other
vehicles. and deep rute have thus been
worn in the surface. Mr.. Barclay says
that the expense OF ploughing the snow
and clearing the surface of streets would
be more than offset by the amount saved
In the maintenance OF roads.

DONOVAN PLEASED
 AFTER INSPECTION
 OF GEORGIA CAMP


 New Fork. Feb. 4.-Manager Bill Donovan of the Yankees has been in Macon, Ga, the last few days inspect ing the new training camp. Bill wired yesterday that he was leaving for New Y ork quite satisfied that no mis- take had been made in the selection.
 Donovan is particularly pleased with the accommodations and conveniences of the new Dempsey hotel, which will be the headquarters of the club dur ing it's Macon visit. The hotel man agement will reserve one floor for the exclusive use of the baseball party. Tn this way the players will have much more freedom than is customary Phil Sehenck, who is an expert groundkeeper in the employ of the club, has been ordered South immedi- ateIy. He will leave for Macon Sun day to put the playing field in major league shape. The Macon ball park was used by Sta11ings in 1909; when he commanded the Yankees. It is one of the most spacious lots to be found anywhere. and is provided with a grass infie1d, something rare in the Southern sticks.
 Abutting the playing field is a mile track, where a number of harness trainers winter their stables. Dono- Wan intends to use this convenience as a means of road work for the players who report overweight. The ball field is a little better than half a, mile from the hotel-an ideal jog home after a. hard workout.

YALE OFFICIAL DENIES
 URGING HARRY LEGORE
 TO PLAY SUMMER BALL

New York. Feb. 4-In commenting upon a story which came out of New Haven. Wednesday, to the effect that Harry Le Gore, the Yale athlete dis qualified for accepting free board while playing summer baseball in Quogue, L. l., had played there in re- sponse to the urgings of George B.. Case, the. graduate baseball advisor, Mr. Case said yesterday that he did not know MT. Le Gore and conse- quently had never talked with him.
 It was not until July. MT. Case said, that he even knew that a Quogue baseball team existed. Then his at tention was drawn to it by a request for his advice on the selection of a coach. He learned from some O the players that they were paying no board bi11se and warned them that they were in contempt of the rule governing amateur port.
