TO
LIVE AGAIN
Good Prospects For Baseball
For the Coming
Season.
NEW TALENT Be DEVELOPED
No Team To Play More
Than Two Seasoned
Men.

AT a meeting held here Sunday af-
ternoon by representatives of Owens
boro, Paducah, Cairo and Hopkins
vile it was decided to reorganize the
Kitty league for the coming season.
All those here were enthusiastic over
the outlook and predicted a success
full year. The keynote will be econo-
my, and the salary limit was fixed at
$500 for each club and no club will be
allowed to play more than two sea-
soned men. This is to put the teams
all on a par as to material and to force
them to play ambitious youngsters
rather than high-priced older heads.
The schedule will be for one hun
bred games, but just when the season
will open was not determined.
While only four towns were repre-.
scented, it is believed no trouble will
be met in securing two possibly four
more. those now IN prospect are
Henderson, GAINESVILLE and Bowling
Green, Vincennes may also come
back into the fold. No officers were
elected, but DR.. Frank Bassett, who
kept the league going for three sea
sons, presided and it is assured he
will be made president. Another
Injecting will be held soon to perfec
the final details. In the meantim,
efforts will be made to increase tn
circuit to six or eight clubs.

Bowling Green Interested.

Bowling Green, Ky, Jan. 81
Bowling Green has a chance to get in
to the kitty" baseball league, ac-
cording to j. L. Arthur, athletic di-
rector Of the Western Kentucky State
Normal school. DR.. Frank H. Bas-
sett, president of the league, has
written to Director Bassett, president
of the league, has written to Director
Arthur that he will be in the city one
day this week to talk over the matter
with the lovers of the national sport
about placing one Of the league clubs
here. The salary limit has now been
placed at $500 per season, and this, it
is supposed, will bring it within the
peculiar limits of Bowling Green.
1t is Arthurs idea to have a suffi-
cient number Of persons subscribe
for tickets to insure the success of
the enterprise. The Normal school
body would in itself form a nucleus
from which a professional team
could be made It looks like Bowl
ing Green will raise the amount re-

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Following The Flag.

A woman may be tickle,
Inconsistent too, we find,
May sometimes change her husband
And often change her mind;
But in one thing she's as loyal
7 AS a soldier to his flag
She clings with moist persistence
To her chamois powder rag.

WARNING
Afraid of the Danger of
Shame" Unless
Prepared.
SPIRIT OF WAR MENACES
Cannot Promise To Avert
II and Maintain The
Honor.

Cleveland, o., Jan. 31.-President
Wilson, speaking, as he said, "sol-
emily" warned the nation that the
time may come when he cannot both
keep the United States out of war and
maintain its honor. He declared that
the country must be prepared to de-
fend itself and must prepare at once.
America is not afraid OfanybOdy "
he said. 81 know | reflect your feel
ings and the feeling of all our citizens
when say the only thing ! am afraid
of is not being ready to perform my
duty. am afraid of the danger of
inadequacy; lam afraid of the dan
ger of not being able to express the
character of this country with tremen-
dous might and effectiveness when
ever we are called upon to act in the
worlds affairs.
The President spoke in Cleveland
tonight with more gravity and force
than he has shown during any Of his
previous addresses on preparedness.
He was applauded frequently and
when he spoke of defending the ma
tons honor the cheering was ire
mendous.
Let me tell you very solemnlyyol
cannot postpone this thing" he de
clared. 81 do not know what a sin
gle day may bring forth. | do no
wish to leave you with the impression
that am thinking Of some particula
danger.
81 merely wish to tell you that W
are daily treading amidst Intricate
dangers The dangers that we are
treading amongst are not of our owl
making and not under our control.
think no man in the United States
knows what a single week, a single
day, a single hour, may bring forth.
Again and again the Presiden
spoke of the nations honor. He de
clared the real man believes his homo
is dearer than his life and a nations
honor is dearer than its peace anC
comfort.
Regret that the question has come
up in campaign year was expressed
lby Mr.. Wilson.
! Let us forget" he said, chat thi
is year OF national elections
The preparedness issue, he added
should have nothing to do with poll
ties.
| For the first time during his preser
I tour, the President spoke Of the nay
land of the coast defenses, The LAT
ter, he said, are good in quality, by
mot in quantity.
Some people say that the nav
ranks second, he declared, but the e>
'perts agree it ranks fourth. He add
ed il should be increased.
/ Among the possible sources OF dan
ger mentioned by the President wer
the difficulties growing out OF tn
protection Of Americans abroad am
the obligation of the United States t
maintain the Liberties Of the peopl
of the Western Hemisphere.

COMPANY H MAY
BE PR ESE NTED
WITH A NEW FLAG

The appearance of Company H in the
parade of Wednesday has added to the
high regard which the people of the city
have for the company and its officers, and
hardly had the parade been over before
a number of people suggested that the
company should have a new flag, as the
one they now have is somewhat tattered
and In the parade Wednesday was still
further torn by the wind Tapping 1t about.
The flag which the company carried on
Wednesday was presented to them by
Hon. Frank Redington, then president Of
the Waterville Board Of Trade, at the
time the company was sent away to pre-
pare for the Spanish War. When the
summons was received for the troops to
mobilize at Augusta program was ar
ranged and just before the boys left the
old Armory. which was in the Clukey
block on the corner Of Silver street, Mr..
Redington went there and presented them
with the flag. They then went to the sta
ton carrying the flag in the parade
through the streets. The flag was Of the
after being carried in many parades II Is
now worn and should be put away and
new one given to the boys. 1t is prob
able that there will be sufficient money
left from the contributions for Flag day
to purchase one. and if 50 it is probable
that it will be done and at some later
date it will be presented to the company.

Another new improvement in the hand
ling of the street department was inau-
gurated Thursday when the steam shovel
which has been installed at the city graN-
ell pit was started for the first time. The
shovel is something new for the city to
have but its use will save the labor of
several men and besides it Is estimated by
the street commissioner that he can han
die as much gravel with 10 teams as ne
could before with IL. The shovel will
eliminate the long wait for loading the
teams and will do much to make the
handling of the gravel by the city BUSH
ness proposition. 1t is proposed to put
a great deal of gravel on the streets this
year and in addition there will be long
section of State aid road which will re-
quire a great deal nf gravel and in this
way a big saving will be made to the
city by the use of the steam shovel. 1t
is in the minds Of the people another ex-
ample of the, businesslike way the pres
ent administration is handling the af-
fairs of the city.
