NEW YORK. Oct. 9.--The small num-
Der Of minor league players drafted this
year by the majors is an indication of
the caution with which baseball is NOV
ing these precarious times.
Fear of that bigger draft. The United
States Army, the uncertainty if the game
in 1918 and a dozen other things is in
jecting spirit Of go-easiness into the
game it has never felt before.
The National Commission had taken
steps to protect clubs drafting players
when it announced that. in case a play
er was drafted for the army, ne would
be turned back TO the club from which
he was taken and the purchase price re-
turned TO the club drafting him. just the
same, big leaguers and the smaller
classes are taking few chances.
The same thing has been true of the
number of players purchased. Many
players promising enough for a trip to
the big show, have been left in the min
ors this year simply because the big
clubs didn't feel like taking chances.
This is only one more rock over
which minor leagues must crawl before

The Rotary club of Wausau, at its
meeting OF May, appointed commit
tee consisting of l.. A. Pradt, Mayor
H. E. Marquardt and E. B. Thayer to
look into the matter of placing me-
mortal tablets on some of the most
historical spots in our city so that the
very many places of interest may be-
come known to our people. The COM
mittee reported the following to the
club yesterday noon:
Your committee appointed to con-
slider the matter of placing memorial
tablets at historical spots in our city,
begs leave to report that it believes
that there are number of such his
torical spots on which memorial tab
lets might be placed by the Rotary
club, which will prove interesting and
of service to the community.
Your committee therefore recon-
mends as a starter, that tablets be
placed at such places in the city of
Wausau as shall be designated by the
Rotary club, in memory OF George Ste
vens, who was the first white man
known to occupy, for business pur-
poses, any portion of the present site

as early as 1888, and in 1889 COM
menced the building of a saw mill on
or near the site now occupied by the
B. Heinemann Lumber company's saw
mill. The same year he commenced
building the guard lock, on Scott
street, the main dam on the Wiscon-
sin river (Which dam we believe is
still as it was built by him) and a
dam where the power house of the
Wisconsin Valley Electric company
now stands

river and a dam across the slough
