Importance, inasmueh as the contract
sent TO Burns today is the one that
he returned some time ago, with a
request that the salary figures, which
were several hundred dollars greater
than those in his 1916 contract, be
hoisted once more. The club re-
fused Since then there has been
considerable correspondence When
the strike collapsed Burns said that
the letters exchanged had straight
ened out everything, and that, with
his pledge revoked, he would like to

Burns and Young will go to camp
together, direct from their homes. in

Tiger makeup Is that they are the
only two players on the reserve list

is not New Englander on the roster.
This should be Burns best year
Though he was not entirely recovered
from his illness of 1915 at the start
or last season, he came back at the
finish. and practically duplicated his
record of 1914. which was his best
year. This is his Detroit record:

CLUB WOMEN PROMISE GREAT ENTERTAINMENT IN SPRING
 FESTIVAL FEATURE.
Over t5o Boys and Girls and Scciety Buds Will Be Seen in Seasons Bio Theatrical Treat.

tnother excellent rehersal was held last night by those participating in thc Spring Festival" the wonderful dancing pageant that will be staged at the Auditorium theater Saturday night under the auspices of the locai Federation of Women clubs.
 This i- feature that IS already attracting attention throughout the city, and the fact that there are so many well known persons. including inc children of prominent parents. as well as wonderful array of society buds, it is a safe prediction there will be packed house to see the respec tive numbers that will eNemplify and personify the poetry of motion"
 The proceeds or this entertainment will go to the biennial fund. and con sidering the fact that Hot Springs is to entertain the great convention of the General Federation of Women Clubs there should be given the Satur- day night feature every encourage- ment There is scarcely a prominent symbol in dancing that will not be represented The winds will also be there, as well as the moonbeams and the stars, and in the floral Kingdom there will likewise be a coterie to per sonify. chief among them being tho poppies, and in this feature red eos tunes and poppy hats will be seen worn by Pearl Williams Lillian STock Harriet Wood, Blanch Wood cock, Fife Mendel, Francis Murphy. Fanny Benedict Helen Lockwood and Carmen Newton.
 The rainbow dance is another spe- cial number that will attract more than passing comment. and this will be impersonated by Nellie Greer, Helen Greer Louise Mallory. Ruth Williams. Iva Shell and Jimmie T. Jne,
 We are making every effort pos, sb., to realize a snug sum with this entertainment said Mrs Avery. president of the focal federated clubs. and | hope there will be- a big sale ct tickets We will need every dollar Ne can aet ho,d of for the big cou- Nenuon next year and # is none too early t5 start now one thing I can promise. and that is those who visit the Auditorium theater Saturday nieht will see an entertainment of which they will be prOud and which will be well worth the price of admission
