County Judge Galloway of Cleve-
land county has hit upon a unique
scheme to place a steel bridge over
Saline river. His plan is to ask the
representative from that county to
pass law taxing each dog in the
county 81, and use the fund for the
purpose of building bridge If
that is a right bright representative
Cleveland county has he will let
that sort of bill alone. Many men,
bers of the legislature have found
the dog tax measure heavily loaded
when they returned to their con-
stituents.
What preparedness for war

largest fortification bill ever brought
to the attention of that body, and
the first of four annual measures
under which it is proposed to spend
$1OO,O0O,000 for increasing and
undermining coast defenses alone
This single item will furnish some
idea of the greatness of the task of
preparing for a conflict, which as
yet no one predicts, and at a time
when the other powers of the world
are fast crushing each other.

In a preference primary held in
Michigan last week Henry Ford
was endorsed by the republicans as
a candidate for president. Ford
has at least three claims to distinc-
ton. One is that he is the manu-
facturer of an automobile. An
other is that he spent a million
dollars sending a peace expedition,
which ended ingloriously, to Europe.
Another is that he treats his en-
ployes squarely, and allows them
to share in the profits of his busi-
ness. The republicans Of Michigan
may not have expressed very bad
preference, from the material they
have to select from.

| CHICAGO, January S.-Cleve1and
American League fans will know this
week the identity of the magnate who
will succeed Charles Somers as the
power behind the Indians. The news
may be sprung Monday. according to
Ban johnson, boss of the junior cir
cult, who leaves tomorrow night for
the Forest city to confer with the
bankers committee now in charge of
the club. According 10 Johnson. in
dividuals now in the American League
may assume the club holdings and ad-
just conditions with the bankers.
I Word came last night from Cleveland
that edward r. Gwinner. who backed
the Pittsburgh Federals, was after the
club. johnson said he vas under the
impression that the Pittsburgh capt.
talist was in New York, and that there
was small. hope Of the latter buying the
=. Indians. johnson declined to go into
details when asked the names of the
individuals in the league who would
step to the front.
johnson originally planned 10 confer
with the committee today. but owing
to pressure of league business here
was forced to postpone the trip, until
tomorrow night. The Cleveland AD1eri-
wa f'E| on y IA oSS1I
closed, it was learned last night, the
deal having been completed several
days ago, with a Toledo man taking
command. Roger Bresnahan's interest
in the Spiders could.not be as%certained,
however.
ms refused today 10 say whether
he would sanction a deal thai would
bring Gwinner into the younger mai or
league circle. Neither would the A.. l..
chief say he would oppose such a move.
He did admit tbit Gwinner seemed
eager to buy into the circuit, and that
efforts were being made to consum-
mate a deal consolidating the Pitfcds
and the Indians.
81 am not sure that the bankers CON-
mittee has called ne to Cleveland to
consider the proposition from Gwin-
ner." said Johnson.
THE Federal League did not have
many players who will help American
League clubs. You don't see Jennings
] nor Mack nor Rowland nor Carrigan
going after any PLAYERS in that circuit,
[ do you? The reason is that there are
not any men Of big league class for
them to get.
Fielder Jones will be a great help
to the American League-of that, I'm
| sure. Fielder will be a great drawing
| card for the st. Louis club all over the
American League. Hickey was a good
| man., but Jones made a reputation in
| our league equaled by no other man.
He went out and won a world cham
| pionship with a poor hitting team. The
leader of the Browns will be given a
\ great ovation when he comes to Co

or more. Probably the deal was pro-

BETTER HITTING TEAM HERE

By ]. ED GR1LLo.

Manager Griffith is optimistic as to his teams hitting strength in
the next campaign. He believes the aggregation he will put in the
field in the coming campaign will show much superiority over last
years outfit.
griffith bases this prediction ON the fact that he figures to have
three or four youngsters in the lineup who will hit better than the
players whose places they are to take. He is certain that Judge will
prove a more valuable hitter than did Gandl, explaining the fact
that Gandil led the team in driving in runs by citing that Chic batted
in the cleanup position in the batting order, where he had more
opportunities to drive in runs than any of the Others.

foot ball coach, today became
president and part owner of the
Boston National League base ball
club. Associated with him as
head OF the syndicate of Boston
men is Arthur c. w. Wise, mem

would retain the services of,
George I. Stallings as manager
of the club and that Stallings
would have absolute charge OF
the playing end of the organiza-
ton. Walter E. Hapgood will
continue as business manager.
The announcement of the sale
of the club, which two years ago
won the world championship
after a sensational season, was a
surprise to sporting circles. The

ket, and until within a few DAYS
President James +. Gaffney and
Robert F. Davis of New York,
the owners, had fully expected to
retain control during the coming
season, according to a statement
issued by Mr.. Gaffney.
Unoficially the price paid is
said to be close to a half million
dollars. The club was purchased
three years ago by Mr.. Gaffney
for $4,000. The new Braves
field, at which the last world
series was played, was not in

The Braves have not been in the
market and / had no intention of SELL
ing a club with which 1 fully expected
to win the National League pennant
again in 1916. until a few days ago,
when the initial overtures were made.

be nearest my heart-the team / shall
always root for"
The new president also issued a
statement in which he declared II would
be his policy to maintain the high
standard of base ball at Braves Field.
While his statement mad no direct
reference to his probable action with
regard TO severing his relations with
Harvard University as coach. it an
uounced that he would devote his time
