Many ball players have fads Of one
kind and another. A brief list might
be- instructive.
Lena Blackburne, who has played
shortstop on many teams, collects pen
nants from the various cities he
visits.
Joe Benz has an account of every
game he has eyer pitched pasted away
in a scrap book.
Dutch Leonard has a passion for
talking machines, and spends much
Of his spare cash purchasing records.
Strong for Flowers.
Eddie Collins Is strong for flow
ers, and picks up a rose bush here
and a new kind of plant there for his
garden back in a suburb of Phila-
delphia.
A large number of players Keep
scrap books. Ed Walsh has a pile OF
them large enough to stock a small
library. Few players have had so
many features written about them as
Walsh has enjoyed, and many a day
he filed from one to four pages In his
book.
Ed also picked up pictures of
himself in action, and has fixed up
a baseball den at his home in Meri-
den, Conn, which is said to De
one of the finest Of its kind In the
country.
Eddie Cicotte Is another who keeps
a scrap book. His fondest hope Is
some day to place an account of his
no-hit game in this volume. He has
nearly everything else.

CONTEST IS FILED
IN OCLESBY MAYOR
ELECTION APRIL IS
HUGH McCANN WHO WON ON RE
TURNS BY FIVE VOTES, MUST
DEFEND RIGHT TO PRESIDE AS
cITY'S EXECUTIVE.

An election contest growing out Of
the April - mayoralty contest at
Oglesby city's first election
under the commission form of govern
ment-was filed late yesterday in the
Circuit Court by Archie Morrison, de
feated candidate, against Hugh Nc
Cam, who won the race by narrow
margin of five votes, according TO re,
turns announced by the judges and
clerks.
The contest is the aftermath of a
bitter contest waged for the execu
tives post at Oglesby Both men arc
politically strong in Oglcsby, and
when working together. have been
able TO swing Oglesby to any ndivid-
ual or faction they wanted in office.
But when they were piftcd against
one another there was warm fight
promised. The results of the election
show the voters we're not disappOint-
ed although it was not expected the
results would be as close as the fig
urcs show.
In his petition which was filed by
Attorneys Russell Hanson and S. T.
Hall as counsel for the petitioner,
Morrison alleges the Judges and clerks
threw out, by declaring them invalid,
more than half dozen ballots which
shOrd have been counted for him,
while, on the other hand, they counted
an equal number, if not more, ballots
for McCann which should have been
declared void.
No date has been fixed for the hear
ing, but it is probable Judge Davis viii

ginning the recount. The ballots VIII
have to be brought to Ottawa and

test by the Circuit Court When
the hearing is on all thr sacks viii
