MULLlGAN AND MCCARTHY MAKE
FINE START WITH CUBS
BY Mark Shields

Eddie MulIigan, the young Cub
shOrtstOp, is about ready to start his
major league career and keep climb
ing toward the top of the head. MUlly
is assured of a regular berth and his
first day Of activity beside Alex Nc
Carthy PANIED out encouragingly.
The Boy Scouts, taking the places
of DoOlan and Yerkes, had Is chanc-
es between them. Mulligan made the
sole boot, but this was more than
compensated for by the manner in
which he took care of eight other
chances. His best play of the day
doesn't show in the box score, for
the batter got a hit. It was a slow
roller through the box which Multi
gan picked up clearly after a hard
run, and his throw from a STOPPING
position while on the dead run was
perfect. The batter, however, beat
the throw.
In the four times MuIligan came
to bat he smashed the ball soundly,
getting one hit Two of his outs were
on line flies to the outfeld and the
third was a hot smash to short which
he almost beat to the base.
Mccarthy walked twice and flied
twice, indicating he has a good eye.
Their batting, not expected to be
heavy, is a minor consideration. If
the pair can protect the center of the
diamond as they did yesterday the
Cub team will be a much stronger
aggregation, gaining in mechanical
ability and fighting strength, for both
have more ginger than the men they
replaced.
The majority of the fans present
seemed to feel their responsibility
toward Mulligan and Mccarthy.
Every play one of the youngsters
pulled off was loudly cheered, and
after Muligan's error there were
loud cries from the spectators urging
him not to mind the slip. Their ap-

MEALS AT SEVEN CENTS EACH.
Kentucky Mountain College Denies that
Living is High

BEREA, Ky, Dee. %. = In order to
prove that the cost of living has not
reached every part of the country,
Berea college, in the Kentucky noun
tains, is responsible for the statement
that its 1,400 students are fed at a
cost of seven cents meal, that they
gained ''several tons in weight and
that the boarding hall made a net gain
of $559.49.
IN explaining this record President
Frost of the college refers first to the
economy Of members, some 400
students being in constant attend
ance in the five departments. Anoth-
or explanation of the seven-cent meal
IS the fact that most Of the students
are accustomed to plain fare, so that
they almost unanimously choose to
go without tea, coffee and butter, to
reduce expenses. To offset these omis-
sions the Fbalance ration, has been
introduced on the assumption that it is
just as important for students as "for
any other live stock =

STATE NEWS NOTES.
Sees Transformation of Vermont.

George Frederick Wells, a graduate
of the University of Vermont, and for
merry general secretary of the move
ment to combine churches in several
Vermont towns, has written an article
for the Boston Transcript about con
ditions i'll Vermont in Whicl. nr SAYS:
THE state is in a conditio. # rapid,
almost violent, industrial and social
change. There are now SIX times as
many towns in Vermont having a popu-
lation eff 1000 or more than IN 1850.
The exact proportion is six to 81 The
urban and suburban population is grow
ing more rapidly than the rural popula-
ton is decreasing. While rural towns
are becoming suburban and urban. and
many of the hill towns are becoming
depleted of population and are growing
to forests, in the intermediate class of
towns farming is becoming so much
more scientific and intensive that the
sum total of farm products was never
greater than now, and there is constant
| increase.
People are just beginning to know
| how to adjust themselves to the natural
Iresources and to the new Industrial civ

MOTOR VEHICLE
AWAITS LICENSE
Constructed by Younger John Manley
and Propelled Like Airplane-
Stopped by Traffic Officer.

John Manlev, son of John B. Manley,
the automobile dealer, has motor We
hicle propelled like an airplane, which
appears to be ideal for riding over ice
or well packed snow roads. He con
structed it himself, but just when he
will operate it in town will depend up
on the time of the arrival of a num-
Der plate which may or may not, in
the opinion of different authorities, per-
init him to run it in the streets.
The vehicle in general has the APP
pearance of a double ripper or bob
sled except that it has single run
ncr in front and the steersman sits
we'll back towards the rear IN seat
with back and sides and steers the ma
chine by means of a wheel. At his right
is a powerful brake. The motive power
is obtained from an engine that burns
either gasoline or kerosene and drives
propeller blade similar in design to
the propeller of an airplane.
The owner saws that he has mutfied
the noise of the engine as much as pos
sihle, but even then it sounds like full
grown motorcycle in operation on
heavy upgrade with everything work
! ing well.
The young man had the machine out
Saturday afternoon and was highly
pleased with its work Officer Charles
Wood was not so impressed when he
happened to see the machine coming
down High street hill. He held con
verse with the owner, which resulted in
visit to Town Clerk Carl S. Hopkins.
1t was decided that if he used one of
his father s garage license numbers
and sent to the secretary of state for
seal that costs $40 and which is used
on machines operated under a garage
number the law would be covered
Everyone is agreed that it is motor
vehicle and should be licensed
! Its immediate effect upon horses with
nervous dispositions has not been de
termincd Manley finally decided to
have a photograph taken of the ma
chine to send to the secretary of state
along with his application for a seal
| and to suspend operations on the streets
until the mandate of that state official
/ is received.
