DIAMOND
NOTES

AS a rule a ballplayer,s popularity
fades with his batting average.
You can't expect those Washington
Nationals to move very fast without
Shanks.
Harry Howell and Garnett Bush, UNI
pires, are having trouble in the North
western league.
Whitaker and Krepps, pitchers on
the Tufts college team, VIII get try
outs with the Athletics.
Jack Dalton is back in the game for
San Francisco and the Seals now ex-
pect to climb to the top again.
Maynard, a pitcher who has made
reputation with the Marshall col
lege team, is now with Lexington.
-
Connie Mack has signed a seventeen
year-old schoolboy pitcher named
Crisp. Betcha this kids a snappy
player.
AL Mamaux, Pittsburgh's young
pitcher, stands firmly between the Pi-
rates and the deep. dark waters of the
Monongahela.
There are more than 100000 kinds
of flies, says a scientist. Not count
ing the long ones that Ty Cobb
catches, we presume.
Lee Tannehill, who, played third
base with Jones' world champions in
1906. is playing third for South Bend
in the Central league.
Ed Walsh attempted comeback
for the Chicago White Sox in game
of the Washington series. He started
well, but that was all.
The Cardinals have signed a rook
pitcher entitled .Mule" Watson.
Mule" is a promising young pitcher,
barring slight tendency to balk.
Those Giants are anything but devils
in their own home town. They haven't
won enough games on the Polo grounds
this season to save their franchise.
If big league teams were given tray-
cling accommodations according to
their standing, the Athletics would be
sent around the circuit by parcel post.
According to Sherwood Nottingham
Magee, the Braves are going to start
climbing soon. Probably on some poor
luckless umpire's neck.
From Boston viewpoint the singing
Of "Elijah" by a great chorus was the
finest performance that has been
staged at the Braves field in some
time.
The Mackmen do not seem to be
able to stand prosperity. After max
ing a pretty fair squirt a couple of
weeks ago they have now subsidized, and
do not seem to give anyone much Of
a battle.
Same Jones, the pitcher Carrigan got
from the Cleveland club as part Of the
price Of Speaker, has not been doing
much for the Red Sox. Jones saws
he is being kept in shape for the I
worlds series next fall.

COUNTY MUST
PAY KRUGER
Says Judge Hardin, In Opinion Up
holding Arbitrators of Old
Courthouse Claim

An opinion was received here this
week by local attorneys, from Judge
c. A. Hardin, in the case of Geo. Car
ter, as a taxpayer of Lincoln county
against Kruger & Son, of Mt. Yer
non, who built the new courthouse,
in which Judge Hardin holds that
Lincoln county must pay to Kruger
some $4,000, with interest for sew
eral years, being the amount claimed
by Kruger to be due on the contract
made with the county for the con-
struction work of the courthouse.
When settlement was being made
for the new courthouse, Kruger put
in this claim for what he alleged was
additional work done to that called
for in his original contract with the
county. The Fiscal Court denied this
and it was agreed to submit the dis
pute to arbitrator The county Sc
lected Mr.. P. NJ. McRoberts, the con-
tractor, Mr. Kruger, selected a Mr..
hlOeT, Ol MI. SIhOh, anu IhSy ShOSN
as the third man a Mr.. Looney, of
Danville. At the meeting of the ar
bitrators, the other two gentlemen
took positions regarding the points
at issue which Mr.. McRoberts did not
believe fair to the county, so he de-
clined to take part in the proceed
ings or agree to the findings. The
other two then decided that Kruger
ought to recover from the county
the additional $4,000 be claimed. By
Judge Hardin's opinion, Krueger's
additional claim against the county
was upheld in every particular with
the exception of one claim for 5000
for alleged damages caused by water
leaking into the basement of the
courthouse while the building was
being erected.
County Attorney w. S. Burch stat
ed this morning that the county will
most certainly take an appeal to the
Court of Appeals. The judgment, if
the county is forced finally by the
higher court to pay it, will cost the
taxpayers something like $4,000.
Attorneys for Kruger & Son, the
contractors, were George D. Flor
ence, of this city and A. B. Bensing-
er, of Louisville, while representing
the county were County Attorney w.
S. Burch, Attorneys P. M. McRob-
erts, Robert Harding and Emmett
Puryear.

praise and commentator is heard on
all sides both of the splendid pro-
gram given and the splendid manner
in which the big affair was conducted
from start to finish.

$4,000 DEBT FULLY PAID OFF
Before Dedication of Campbellsville
New Christian Church Sunday.

The new Christian church building
at Campbellsville was dedicated last
Sunday, an immense crowd of people
being present. The church was built
at an expense of $4,000 and it is
one of the handsomest in the State.
Rev. w. G. Montgomery, who was
pastor at Moreland several years is
the pastor and led the campaign to
raise $4,000 for the new building,
which is a great credit and ornament
to the town of Campbellsville, being
beautiful in design, and very hand
somely furnished.
There was balance of $4,000 due
on the new Christian church building
Sunday before the dedication and it
was decided to clear off this debt be-
fore the preaching of the dedicatory
sermon. The members and other
persons who were in sympathy wit
the denomination, in a very short
time subscribed $1,000. The Adair
County News says that while Mr..
Geo. H. Gowdy abhors notoriety of
any kind is is well enough for the
public to know that he contributed
$500 to the building of this edifce,
tho he is not member of the Chris
tian Church or any other church.
His mother was an ardent member of
that denomination, and naturally Mr..
Gowdy is in sympathy with it.
