BASEBALL BUG
AGAIN BUzzING
IN KENTUCKY
Major Frank Leaning Issues Call For
Baseball Men In Kentucky Cities
to Consider Recognizing
-
Bluegrass League.
The Lexington Herald says:

The Lexington Herald says:
Maybe it's the Spring weather.
Anyway, fancy sees The Old Fan,
with a straw hat on his bald head,
standing between the grand stand and
the bleachers, score-card in hand, as
in the good old days, shouting:
Hit it a mile, big boy!"
Then, biff-
1t isn't a three base hit Just fancy
waking up to fact.
For plans for the revival of the old
Bluegrass League are already under
way, and it, y in every way proba-
BILE that by the time for ushering in
the season, there will be a live minor
league at work, with Lexington, Paris,
Winchester, Richmond, Frankfort and
Georgetown on the circuit
The movement for the rebirth of the
league which once was in flower, was
begun some days ago, but the first di-
rect step toward formation of such a
league came Saturday when Major
Frank c. Leaning, one of the princi-
pals in promoting the reorganization
of the circuit asked The Herald to a
call for persons in the cities named
above, or other, Bluegrass cities, who
are interested in the organization of
the league, to communicate with him
at once, preliminary to the call for a
meeting of leaders, at which more de-
finite plans will be made.
Major Leaning said last night that
he believed from conversations with
others interested in the matter that
there is little doubt but what the
Bluegrass League can be made a pay
ing venture, and that the old time
spirit will prevail.
The movement is for an entirely in
dependent league, without affiliation
with national baseball associations of
any kind, to draw particularly young
er players, who have not previously
played professional baseball.
This plan, which has been used sue
cessfully in many leagues, and was
tried out satisfactorily in the old X. l.
T. league in Kentucky, is particularly
apt in the Bluegrass, where there are
more than half a dozen colleges to
draw from.
Jim Park, coach of Pennsylvania
Colleges athletic teams, who former
ly was a star pitcher in the Bluegrass
league and later played with the big
leagues, declared Saturday that he be-
lieved the college men of Central Ken
lucky will be particularly enthused
over the possibilities, and that many
Of the men just graduating from col
lege will jump at the opportunity to
begin baseball careers in their home
districts.
A meeting will be called soon of the
leaders from each city on the pro-
posed circuit, to discuss the advisable
ity Of having the league. and IL agreed
upon, to make out definite working
plans for the organization.
II has been taken into considera-
ton in figuring out the prospective
points on the circuit, that the entire
schedule for the season can be made
out to avoid all-night stops. and that
railroad fares and expenditures usual
ly required for team travelling. will be
cut to a minimum because of the
closeness Of the teams.

NITRATE MUST Be
|, BOUGHT BY FEB. 18th
All Orders For the Nitrate of Soda
Must BE in Hands Of County
Agent BY February 18th.

Washington, D. C.-The Secretary of
Agriculture today announced that the
final date for the filing of applications
for nitrate of soda with county agents
and local nitrate committees has been
advanced to February Is, 1919. This
action is taken in view of the fact that
farmers in many parts of the country
advise that they desire nitrate of soda
but were unable to file their applica-
tions prior to January 25 On account
of the pressure of other work and the
heavy duties devolving upon county
agents in connection with the sale of
nitrate, it was not possible for the
county agents and members of local
nitrate committees to give the desired
publicity to the Departments plan for
selling nitrate of soda to farmers this
year. BY extending the time for filing
applications to February Is. it is be-
lieved that every farmer who wishes
to buy nitrate from the Government
will be given ample opportunity to do
so. There probably will be enough
nitrate to supply all reasonable re-
quirements. Farmers who wish to
purchase nitrate of soda from the De-
partment of Agriculture and who
have not already filed their applic2-
tons should communicate immediate
ly with their county agents or with
local nitrate committees appointed to
assist the county agents. All appli-
cations must be filed with county
agents not later than February Is.

SILVER TO
Be REALITY SHORTLY

That sixteen-to-one silver is coming
is a prediction freely made by mining
men of Nevada now since silver sold
Monday in New York for $1.19A. Pre-
dictions are that it will go higher.
When the embargo was removed from
silver last week mining men declared
that the $1.25 mark would be reached
and today they are elated over the
rapid rise in the price of the white
metal.
The price Of yesterday was nine
cents higher than that of Saturday,
when brokers' were buying and sell
ing at New York for $1.10. The effect
of higher silver is seen in the Nevada
mining stock market today, and the
rise of nearly all silver stocks is
said to be partially due to the in
creased price of the metal.
The price of $1.19A is the maximum
price for silver in nearly thirty years,
according to the New York market
report. London cables reported the
price at So pence, equivalent to $1.21,
the highest price quoted in London
since 1877.
Silver has been advancing steadily
since the Federal reserve board re-
moved the export restrictions on the
metal, which fixed the price at $1.01k
by agreement with the British gov
eminent in 1917.

FIRE HAD
GREAT POSSIBILITIES

A keen sense of smell probably pre-
vented another serious fire here last
night. T. L. Eberlin. employed by the
western Pacific railroad, awakened
shortly after IL o'clock last night at
his home located at West Second and
Monroe streets. Thinking he smelled
smoke and heard the cracking of
flames. he jumped from bed and
looked out of q window. He saw the
reflection of fire. Going out of the
house he discovered an Clubhouse not
fifteen feet distance from the house
blazing away merrily.
First he shouted for someone to
turn in an alarm of fire and then he
had a busy ten minutes throwing
water on the flames. After several
moments of confusion the telephone
operator got the fire bell to ringing
and the truck arrived on the scene
The chemical subdued The fire in a
short time, but not until the clubhouse
was completely wrecked. Water was
used by the firemen to good advan-
tage in extinguishing sparks which
landed on nearby buildings. Had the
fire gotten away much damage could
have been done. as several buildings
surrounded the fire, with but few feet
separating them. The house in which
Eberling lives is owned by A. Ruck-
teschler.

CONNECT HIGHWAY PHOENIX TO COPPER
 COUNTRY $ PLAN

The connecting up of good roads to link the state capital with the entire mineraliZed schst section of the state lying between Phoenix and Jerome is the reason for the presence in Phoe- nix of c. C. Stuckey, member of the board of supervisors of Navapai county.
 Good roads are the crying need or this state" said Mr Stuckey last night" absolutely essential to the complete and proper development ol our wonderful resources, and Yavapai county is doing her share in the work. We have crews at work now in the Black canyon, reducing the grades, surfacing the soft spots, and other wise putting the road in shape for travel Our work will be so complete that in case this route is selected for state highway between the capital and the copper country there will be comparatively little cost to preparing the road for paving.
 We arc also working over the Wickenburg route and putting it in shape, so that tourists and travellers will have a choice, though the canyon route is somewhat shorter.
 We will improve these roads to the Maricopa county line, and hope that this county will build to meet us"
 Mir Stuckey called on Governor Campbell yesterday to talk over the road situation. Today he will go on an inspection trip over the Maricopa county section of this road with the state engineer, and before leaving Phoenix will call on the local board of superVlSorS to ask their cooperation

BOMB EXPLODES
 KILLING THREE MEN

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-Three men attached to the naval aviation station at Rockaway Beach were killed today by the explosion of a depth bomb they were carrying.
 The victims. a chief petty officer and two sailors, were conveying the bomb, which contained 150 pounds of trini- trololuol. 10 a distant point to test. Three other sailors who were following their comrades narrowly escaped death
 Names of the men killed were with held by their officers pending the send ing of official notice to the mems fam lilies by the navy department at Wash ington.
 The explosion tore a crater in the sandy beach and searches later were unable to find even a trace of the men who had been killed. The survivors expressed belief the men, in stopping to rest, lowered the bomb to the ground and accidentally jared the detonating cap.
