NEWCASTLE TO
BRING STRONG
LINEUP HERE
Rose City Announces Team to
Play Here Sunday Locals
Line up Players.

The lineup that Richmond will use
Sunday afternoon when it meets the
fast Newcastle team is not ready to
be announced, but the management
assures Richmond fans that the Rich
mond club will be a real ball club
when 1t stacks up against the New
castle team, Sunday afternoon at Ex-
hibition park
The Newcastle team is coming to
Richmond with the idea that the
Quakers are going to be easy to de-
feat and expects to add another VIC
tory to the long list it has already
secured. The Richmond team will be
composed of Glass A ball players. 1t
is probable that Richmondians will
not see any local players in action this
Sunday, but it is the intention of the
management to give Richmond players
a chance to play in fast company.
Pete Minner may be included in the
Sunday lineup as the management is
favorable to Pete's pitching.
Jake Fromholz will probably open
the game Sunday in the pitchers box.
Fromholz will have good backing for
the Sunday game and many players of
good standing will tryout for the Rich
mond team as no other tryouts can
be had before the game.
Houser To Pitch
At present it is the plan of the Rich
mond management to give either Min
ner or Hawekotte chance to show
what they can do against league slab
men such as the Newcastle lineup

ROAD MARKER LAW
IS BEING IGNORED
Governor Gardner Reports That He
Finds Few SignbOards Put up at
Road Crossings

JEFFERSON CITY, Aug. 28.-Gov-
ernor Gardner sharply called the at
tention of the State Highway Board
Tuesday to the fact that the road law
requjing overseers to have finger
sign boards at all highway crossings
is being generally ignored. These sign
boards are to be paid for out of road
funds, and the law expressly provides
that they must be placed at every
crossing of highways in the rural
districts. 1t is said that Usage is the
only county in the state where the
law has been fully complied with. The
penalty for a failure to comply with
the law incurs fine of from SIS to
$500.
The governor recently made tour
of large number of counties north of
the Missouri River, and he told the
highway board that it had been his
personal observation that the law was
not being complied with. The board
was asked to jog up the memories Of
the county courts and they in turn to
notify the overseers.
All over the state the highways are
lined with billboards, mostly small af-
fairs, advertising the wonders of "Dr.
Quacks Pills." Scrub 'em Soap" and
local firms in various lines of trade
but a needful sign that will indicate
to travellers the direction of some town
or city and the number of miles there
to, is missing at most of the highway
crossings.

strict 1855 Miles of Highway.

with the State Highway Department
to construct with convict labor TOO
miles of gravel road in the Millers-
burg special road district in Galloway
County, extending from the Boone
County line to the Fulton special road
district.
The project will be the first that
has been undertaken outright by the
State Prison Board, although con-
victs have been used for road work in
several counties during the past two
years without much success.
The road will be built with State
and Federal aid, the county paying
one-half Of the construction cost above
81 200 a mile, which the new law gives
on not less than SO miles Of STATE
highways in each county. =
The State Highway Department es-
timated the seven miles of road could
be built for approximately $4,000,
bat there were no bids submitted when
the work was advertised 1t was then
suggested that the State do the work
with convict labor with the result the
Prison Board took the contract.
