ROAD MEETING FRIDAY
Matter Of Selecting Route To Bates
vile To Be Discussed.

A meeting of interested citizens
will be held at the cOWt house to-
day (Friday) at 2 o'clock p N for
the purpose of discussing the mat
ter of establishing a route from
this place to Batesyille, the road to
be constructed under the AleXan-
der law.
During the past week there has
been much agitation for a road be-,
tween these two places to run dl'
rectIy south from Evening Shade,
by way of SandtOwn and intersect-
ing the present Ba;esville and Even
ing Shade road near the Masner
farm, fonr miles our from Bates
vile. 1t is argued that this route is
five or six miles nearer than the
present one. AS further argument
for this road it is said that the
land owners of the town of Sidney
and all along the route are willing
to enter into the plan Of making
the road.
1t is expected that there will be
a large attendance at the meeting
today.

4 DAY AT NfLS0NVILLE
The Picnic There Saturday Was A
Very Pleasant Occasion.

The editor Of the Record spent
Saturday at the NeIsCnville picnic.
1t was estimated that 1000 people
attended The picnic, and the entire
crowd seemed to pass the day most
pleasantly. Perfect order and good
fellowship prevailed throughout the
entire day. The usual number OF
stands, doll racks and swings was
on hand and all seemed to do a
rushing business.
An abundance of dinner was
spread on the ground, which was a
certain sign of the un0Ounded hos
pilality of the men and women OF
that community.
Music for the occasion was rem
derei by the ShelbyliIle band, and
this feature of the picnic was much
enjoyed by the big crowd
In the afternoon a fine game of
ball was played between mines rep
/ Iresenting the DOrthern and southern
districts of the county. The score
| was 2 TO 0 in favor of the northern
team, but had it not been for an
error in the second inning by the
southern districts first baseman
the game would have been scoreless
during the nine innings DR.. Roe of
Ash Flat pitched the game for the
northern district and Countryman
of Thayer, Mo-, was behind the bat.
Elmore Evans of Sidney pitched for
the southern district and Otto Cath

Larry Fox Yale Wrestler;
Baldridge Quits Sport

New Haven, Conn.,, Dec. 22.-How-
ard NJ. Baldridge. the New England
heavyweight wrestling champion, has
given the wrestling team officials of
Yale chill by announcing that he will
not compete in the tournaments of the
team this winter because of slight
injury which might be aggravated by
strenuous season on the. mat. He
has left the team, but Coach IzZy Win
ters was delighted to-day by the pre-
limlnary showing of Larry Fox, the
oarsmansand football player.
Fox is the unique character of the
recent football season. He was one Of
fale's best varsity oarsmen last sea-
son. but he had not played football till
after the recent season opened. His
wonderful physical ability, however.
was an asset which inexperience did
not cloud and he was given constant
coaching by Heffelfinger. Glass. Merit

coaches, which developed him remark
ably the last month of the season.
Fox, who halls from Philadelphia,
is hardy Norseman, standing feet
6 inches tall and weighing 210 pounds.
His great reach and height are GER
tain to make him the most unique
figure of the present indoor season on
the mat. and already Coach Winters
is confident that he has uncovered q
wonder.

MACK'S NEW TEAM
LOOKSLIKE CONFER
Is Building Up Strong Aggrega-
ton of Players; Only Two
Holdovers

Philadelphia, Dec. %. While
Connie Mack has to sign up every one
of his players but two for next years
race, he treasures an optimistic view
of the Athletics for the 1917 dash. In
building over his machine for the
past two seasons Mack now feels confi-
dent that when the team steps on the
field in the spring it will be the best
he has shown Philadelphia fans since
he dismantled tffe famous club which
won international fame by its feats.
To put the 1917 outfit upon the field
the boss of the Athletics will have to
discover man for second and third
base, get an outfielder to aid Strunk
and Thrasher, and develop enough
pitchers to help out Joe Bush, Elmer
Meyers and Jack Nabors. His catch
ing STAG is intact and will consist of
Schang, Myer, Haley and Picinich.
This is the only department in which
he will not experiment.
Stufly McInnis and Elmer Meyers
are the only two men with holdover
contracts.
Laioie Is Out
Lajoie will not be back on the team,
FOR last fall his name was scratched
off the reserve list and the great vet
eran became q free agent. To fill up
that vacancy at second Mack is de-
pending much upon Gable, who played
second base for the Newark Interna-
tional League club last year. Gable is
right-handed lead off man and one
who ought to fill the bill, according to
Mack He also has Lowry and Grover
to fall back upon. Witt will naturally
be stationed at short, but third base
is also an uncertain proposition. for
beside Pick and Headley he is pinning
much confidence in Bates, the Pacific
coast star. Bates is rated as good
fielder and fair hitter, and will prob
ably be the man to get the assignment.
The pitching staff is the problem
which is causing Mack much specula-
ton these days. In Bush, Meyers and
Nabors he has only three veteran
fingers and the latter two are only
over cutting their eye teeth in the
majors.
The Athletics will not eliminate any
of the twenty-five-cent seats at Shibe
Park next season, according to Mack.
No matter what the Phillies do as a
result of the League action to cut
down the two-bit sections. the Mack
men will retain the 1000 seats in
which the fans can now sit for a quar-
ter.

Heiress Needs 100000
Just to Tide Her Over

New York, Dec. %. - Mrs. Olga
Florman, oppressed by the high cost
of living. has sought an order from
the surrogate's court to obtain at
once 100000 from the state of her
father, Charles Kohler, so that she
can keep body and soul together for
few months, when she will receive
one-third of her fathers residuary
estate of s2,000,00O.
II she can hold out until then she
Will not have to scrimp so, for when
she reaches the age of twenty five, she
gets 100000 from her fathers estate
and there will be another 100000
when she is thirty-flve and still an
other when she is forty.
Now all size has, except the $50 q
week, which her husband, Nils, earns,
is an annual allowance of $4,000. and
there's the baby to buy things for. too.
In her application Mrs. Florman
made objections to the accounting of
the executors. She asserted that the
trusts set aside by them were more
than sufficient to pay the incomes
provided by her father for herself,
Ler mother and two sisters.
The 100000, she pointed out, could
just as we'll be taken out of the excess
income, which she estimates at ST.
209,31S.
When Mrs. Florman asked some
time ago for $4,000 a year, she told
the court her apartment cost $4,000 a
year and her cottage at Sands Point
$4,000 each month she maintained II.
and that she owed $4,000 on 100000
worth of furniture.

Memphis Wants Joe Tinker
to Lead Southern Team

Memphis, Tenn. Dec. eff Joe
Tinker wants a berth managing a
minor league ball club he can have 1t
right here in this town by simply ap-
plying to the Memphis Southern Asso-
citation club. When the owners of the
local club became aware that Tinker's
day as q Cub leader was over they
instantly decided to make the once
great shortstop an offer to manage the
local team, and If the Cubs will let Joe
come here and he Is willing he will be
rendered a contract as good as any
minor league club in the country can
offer.
Interest here in baseball has been
booming for the last two years and
when George Moriarty, the former De-
troit and White Sox star, who man
aged the team last year, decided to
take a job umpiring on Ban Johnson's
staff of umpires for the coming season
1t left the Chicks without a manager.
Moriarty made hit with the fans last
summer, and. while not bowling sue
cess as a leader. he nevertheless
brought flavor of big league ball into
Memphis. and the fans having tasted
of that essence want more of 1t. Hence
the desire for Tinker.
