Columbus, o.. March 2S.--0irl power

this season. The reason for the
change as explained by Joe Tinker,
president and manager Of the club. is
mixture OF patriotism and the ex-
IRENE dificulty in obtaining men for
the work.
When baseball fans buy their tick

Tinker said that when ne gets his
new plan In operation about the only
mere man connected with the park
will be the baseball players, the man
agers club secretary and ground
keeper. Even the peanut boy prob
ably will be no boy at all. Girls prob
ably will be tried for the work.
Men viii be in great demand this
summer, Tinker contends. and the
radical move will release several men

Dropping Mr.. Blsiek.
In dropping MIR. Bleick from the
state rail commission, several ex-
plantations have been forthcoming,
but 1T appears that the principal
point in issue has been his failure to
fall in line with the program mapped
out for the rail commission by At
torney General william LANCER.
Mr. BieiciE declared yesterday aft
ernoon that the action was entirely
unexpected, but he wasn't disposed
to worry about It.

Disappointed at BrInton.
Among the delegates and other
Nonpartisans there was apparent
more or less disappointment at the
method in which J. w. Brinton, man
ager Of the Consumers United Stores
company, had explained that dues-
ton to the rally yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Brinton, while billed to speak
on the stores, devoted practically his
entire. attention to those newspapers
that have criticized the chain stores,
and the audience was given little or
no information concerning the store
plan.
Several OF the visitors freely ex-
pressed themselves last evening as
being disappointed at the attitude
taken by the store manager, de-
claring that they were interested in
obtaining real information, and had
attended the meeting with the hope
Of nrnftinw some rofnta NOT alYAady
