HOSPITAL SITE OFFER.
Ed TO MEXICO FREE
MIR. and Mrs. W. w. Fry viii Give
Splendid Lot $50 by 125 Feet
Facing Hardin Park
A SPLENDID LOCATION
Ask That Citizens Donate $4,000
for $4,000 Modern Hospital
to Secure Gift

W. W. Fry, of this city, Attorney
and Registrar for the Federal Re-
serve Bank of st. Louis, with his
wife, has offered the Mexico Hos
pital site for a permanent home.
All that Mr.. and Mrs. Fry ask is
that citizens donate $4,000 toward
the construction of $4,000 modern
hospital here. There are no strings
tied to his gift, which is lot 150 by
215 feet, facing Hardin Park in South
Mexico, and well located in every
particular.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fry have been inter-
ested in the present Hospital and de-
sire to see the institution housed in
quarters of its own.
For sometime the Board of the Hos
pital have been discussing ways and
means for hte erection of permanent
home. This offer is considered very
timely, The Board feels with home
owned by the organization much of
the present overhead expense could
be eliminated and the finances of the
institution more efficiently handled.
The following letter from Mr.. and
Mrs. w. W. Fry, making their
splendid offer, was received by the
Hospital Board, Monday:
To the Mexico Hospital Association,
Mexico, Mo.
June 30, 1917.
The City of Mexico needs a perma-
nent Hospital building. AS an in
ducement to secure the same we make
the following propositions:
If the citizens of Mexico and vicin-
ity, through your association will Sc
cure $4,000 cash money, with which
to erect Hospital buildings and i'm
provements, we will donate to your
association for that purpose and as o
site for such Hospital, the lot of
ground owned by us fronting west on
the east side of Hardin Park in Mex
leo, Mo. This lot is $50 feet wide
by about 215 feet deep east and west.
Respectfully,
Mr.. and Mrs. W. w. Fry.

With the exception or the San Fran

less disturbed. If tha ball players oil

any OF the other clubs in the league
Gus Fisher, for instance, Is not q

and never has been. Bill Stumpf and
Kenneth Williams, two members OF
the regular squad, have already

These men, with others who are e1.
pected TO join the club, will leave the
Beavers in fair shape, should all the
other veteran members Of the team
refuse 10 sign their contracts.
II is hardly believed that any OF
the Portland players will take such
a step, anyhow, as IL is the custom
TO pay them when they happen to be
injured, and also to send them trans
portation to the training camp. which
seem to be two OF the most import
ant demands made by the association.
The Portland owners have always
done this, and the transportation
amounts to no inconsiderable item
when IL is considered that many Of
the men come from the Atlantic coast.
my idea OF the fraternity de.
mands," said Walter McCredie, is
TO have the matter brought before a
board OF arbitration, which would be

McCredie also believes that If the
ball players really did strike for
couple of months there might be
good many OF them who would find
themselves out of Job when they
wished to make their peace. 49,.
His idea is that there are a good

become regulars If the managers took
more time in instructing them and
showing them the finer points of the
game when they knew there was no
chance of getting any one more ex.

BY this time their natural speed

BILL JOHNSTON BEST
TENNIS PLAYER AMERICA
HAS EVER PRODUCED

Here Is what one player well known
in Honolulu says about the big star
who will come here in February:
bill Johnston is the greatest ten
mis- player America has produced"
This downright statement was
made by competent critic, Peck Grit
fin. IL has been said that in order to
know a tennis players game well it
is necessary to study him from the
intimacy Of doubles partner. Griffin
has won several national champion
ships with Johnston. Also, he has
played with and against all the leading
stars of the last decade.
"Johnston's game is based upon
more sterling principles" continued
Griffin, than the play Of his two
principal rivals, Mclaughlin and
Williams. He is. more consistent. He
depends less upon spectacular fea-
lures that are apt to leave a man
with the gathering years. Johnston
should retain his place among the
great players oil the game for many
years. like Larned did. Mclaughlin
relies too much upon mere speed and
power, qualities he Is bound TO lose
early. Johnston is probably the
most perfect tennis player the world
has seen-not oven excluding An.
thony Wilding"
Griffin declare that a court
celebrity has to develop a champion
ship game before he is 20, or he will
never achieve il.
Constant practise is, of course, re-
quired afterwards, but it is in the
early years, the tinglinG teens. that a
player has to master the game.
