we'll known Dawson farmer, for his
expose of Townley's famous Bis
marck attack on the farmer members
of the league who had asked an ac-
counting for their money invested i'm
the chain stores. Less than so fol-
lowed Brinton from the hall when,
after an unsuccessful effort to pre-
vent Ingle from speaking. the chain

did not escapeebefore Ingle had way-

Coats Jerked Off.
Twelve coats were jerked from

RESULTS FROM GOOD ROADS
After Improvement Price Of TiIlable
Lands Show Big Increase-chiI-
dren Benefited.

After improving the main market
roads in four counties in Virginia
and one each in New York, Alabama,
Florida and Mississippi during a pc
Rod of five years, survey was made
of the work and it's results. 1t was
found that the price of tillable land
served by the roads increased from
one to three times the total cost of the
improvements. The total saving every
year in hauling costs due to this i'm
prOvement in the roads amounts to
$627, 400 for traffic Of about $780,
600 ton miles. The net saving on the
hauling, after deducting the cost Of
interest and principal for the improve
ments, averages 11.6 cents per ton mile.
After the roads were better, the aver
age attendance of children in the pub
lie schools was Is per cent before the
roads were improved it was &c per
cent. Ten more children out of every
100 were enabled to get schooling as
a result Of better roads.

RESENTED JIBES ON ATTIRE
Jack GiIIigan Couldn't Stand to Have
Other Players Make Fun of
His New Shoes.

Jack Gilligan, a Des Moines pitcher
once with the Browns, is noted in
baseball circles as a swell dresser. He
Is fond of handsome ties, shirts and
the like, and always looks as if he
came directly out Of a bandbox. If
there's one thing he can't stand it is
to be guyed about any part Of his at
tire, especially if he thinks the kidders
are in earnest.
"Once Jack told us all about a pair
Of shoes he was to purchase" says
Pitcher Paul Musser, formerly of the
White Sox and now in the army. 'He
said they We're cOrkers, and prepared
us for the sight.
"A few days later he came into the
hotel wearing those shoes. They were
dandies, all right, cost him $12, which
was big sum those days. But the
boys started in on him at once.
"'What size did you say they were

Eight and a half-why?'
"'Oh, nothing; except they look like
twelves on you

couldn't hire him to wear them aftel
that. And he disposed of them for $2.'

Good Suggestion.

Maj. Frederick Palmer, head of the
military press bureau in Paris, was
visited at his office in the Rue Ste.
Anne the other day by an old friend.
The friend said from his cloud of
tobacco smoke:
Palmer, 1 want to do -hic-bit.
I want to be in at the finish of the
Hun. I've got alcoholic sore throat, a
tobacco heart and hardened liver. 1t
would be difficult for me, I'm afraid,
to give up my soft habits and live in
the cold mud of the trenches. Still,
Palmer. I'm determined to do my bit.
There's surely some billet I could fill
with honor. Well. what-hic- it?''

only suggestion can make Is that you

Why some ball players maintain a
strict reserve on the ball field is a
puzzle to number of fans, but if they
heard the players side they would
understand. Christy Mathewson, one
time in checker game in which he
licked the writer easily and using his
left hand at that, explained why he
does not always answer queries put to
him by fans while he is on the ball
field.
"All fans are not alike" went on
Christy, 'but you never know when
you are going to get in wrong. For
example, one time at Forbes field I
was warming up near the grandstand
and fan called out to me: Who's
going to pitch today, Mattyr I an
swered, 'Marquard, I believe Then
the fan replied: why, you poor hunk
Of cheese, Marquard can't pitch
''You see," continued Mathewson
''this fan called me a hunk Of cheese
because I had been pleasant enough
to answer his question"

fewer PLAYERS
FAVORED BY EBBETS
Policy of Some Managers to Car
~ Extra Players Not Wise.
Present Conditions In Baseball Mako
Such Movement Imperative if
Game Is to Be Kept Alive
Cut Down Limit.

President Ebbets of the Brooklyn
club favors a cutting of the player
limit in the National league to Is or
Is men. He says present conditions in
baseball make such movement imper-
ative if the game is to be kept alive.
''Twenty years ago National league
teams carried II, Is or 16 players and
still provided the public with good
SPORT" said Ebbets. IF I am not in
error, the BrOOklyns, when they won
the pennant in 1900, were composed of
Il men-three pitchers, two catchers,
five infielders and three out6elders.
The schedule that year called for 1875
games. The practice of carrying as
many as 80 players, nowadays, is alb
surd. There are too many pitchers,
extra felders and pinch hitters. Some
teams are able to put in left-handed hit
the reverse whenever they feel like it.
"Clubs that are keeping six infield-
ers or outfelders, together with eight
or nine pitchers, are not willing to aid
clubs that are short of material. But
if the player limit is reduced to 16 or
Is men, at least 80 capable players will
be available. do not mean that the
weak clubs should get players for
nothing. They should be made to pay
a fair price. But under present condi-
tons, which have become alarming be-
cause of the many players already
taken in the selective draft, the Ma
tional league must act quickly. Cut
down the player limit and make the
pennant race more evenly balanced
That is a common-sense move, and ]
believe that other club owners in our
league will agree with me-"
