NOTICE.

The impression which has gained
some circulation that the Plezol Ice
Cream Parlor would be closed is with
out foundation. This story may have
originated from the fact that the pro-
prietor has taken up duties in an eS-
sential occupation, the business will
be continued however as in the past,
and your patronage will be appreciat-
ed as in the past.
Respectfully,
Jul A. j. BEN0IT.

As the baseball season ncaTs It be-
comes more and more apparent that
the White sox viii have more tina n
an even chance to nnsh on the top Of
the heap next fall. OF ali the clubs
in the American league the White
sox alone have been scarcely touched
by the war. while the other seven
have been more or less disrupted by
the enlistment or drafting of essen tai
players.
About all Clarence Rowland has to
fear at this time Is that his star pitch
er. Red Fnber. will be called into
service. Fabsr is unmarried, and has
been placed In class la He has stat
ed that he will not ask exemption.
Rowland's big problem last year was
his pitching staff Outside of Cicotte
and Faber he had no consistently re-
liable pitchers. williams and Dan
forth were about his best bets, and
they perhaps will be able to come
through with good pitching this year.
Russell and Benx are about through.

After the Indians had solved their
big problem by putting Harris at first
base. Harris was caught In the draft,
and Cleveland faces the proposition OF

by the loss of Ed Klepfer.
