BASE BALL PARK. FOR
THE WEST SIDE
Grounds and Buildings Could Be
Paid for by Revenues. Young
Ball Players Would Be
BIG BOOSTERS for
Enterprise.
Meeting Tonight at Herald Office,
3 O'clock

We have on this side of the river
four baseball clubs which have or
gained themselves into league
known as the Behrman Baseball
League. The four clubs composing
this league play ball every Sunday,
very often double headers at a park
which is being rented some where in
MoDonoghVille. By charging an
admission of twenty-five cents the
boys have been able to play to pay
! the park is concerned for the fact,
that the owner exacts 5000 fifty
per cent of the gate receipts for the
! rent of the park. This means that
| the greatest profit made by the boys
through their exhibition games goes
towards paying rent while the small
er portion of the receipts are distri-
buted among the clubs.
Algiers or the West side should
have its own ball grounds and it's
own grandstand. There is enough
enthusiasm among the boys and there
is enough money in Algiers to pur-
chase the ground and build the
grandstand without the least bit of
hardship to any one and it would
give the young men of our town who
are interested in the great national
game great delight sto work for a
local enterprise of the kind. The
Herald has been approached on
several occasions to foster a move
ment of this kind looking to the
establishment of a permanent COM
pany or league properly incorpo-
rated, for the purpose of purchasing
grounds and erecting a suitable
grandstand and pavilion so that this
may become a permanent local
amusement place where not only
baseball games may be had but large
school celebrations, picnics, athletic
tournaments and kindred amuse-
ments of this kind.
We believe that the young men
connected with the Behrman base
ball league are energetic and enthus-
fastic and serious enough in the mat
ter to want at least trial or a feel
out to see whether or not the enter
prise could be put over successfully.
The Herald has been asked to
call meeting of all those interested
in an enterprise of this kind for the
purpose of discussing the feasibility,
and the practicability of such move
ment. We are heartily in favor of
local enterprise of this kind and
in order that it may be properly dis
cussed by those who are interested
we now issue this call for a meeting
to be held at the office of the Herald
No. 500 Verret Street tonight
at s o'clock, for the purpose of
effecting temporary organi-
cation to investigate the possibili-
ties to report back its recommends
ton and then the consideration of a
permanent corporation to go ahead
with the movement.
Whether you are interested in ball
games or not, If you are a public
spirited citizen interested in Algiers
and having civic pride, we ask you
to come to this meeting and give
whatever help you can to boost for
a ball park. Algiers is on the map
and has made big dot in many
movements and we are a firm be-
lever that we can put little star
on the baseball map as well. At
tend this meeting and let US see what
We can do in preliminary way. j

There was no one at home when
he pulled off the dress rehearsal at
my house." young Rosamano told the
Superintendent

simple statement that he had re-
hearsed with Baggese in his room,

his house at 500 Henry Clay avenue.
and on the following Sunday Rosa

PRINCIPLE OF SCOUTING.

Scouting is becoming an important
factor in the successful raising Of
boys to manhood. The scout move
ment develops the sense Of duty In
the yOungster that enables him to
probe within himself for the manly
characteristics. It's man-size Job to
he done in a mans way, and w. A.
Perry. the editor Of Scouting, offers q
few lines on that subject:
Il am not interested In scouting In
a high-priced school amid landscape
gardening, and statuary. and drinking
fountains-all made by somebody else
Il am interested in forest far from
civilization, where l must either CON.
quer nature-or confess myself q
weakling. 1t Is fine thing to teach
boys to stand in line with spotless uni.
forms and win the applause of a crowd
gathered to witness a dress parade.
But I would rather develop q boy, 90
that he could walk alone into q world
OF wickedness, conscious Of the great
laws back Of 1t all. with q spirit which
would make him forget self and fiRht.

SCOUT TRAINING IS ENOUGH.

The state of New York, through it's
military training commission, is will
ing to recognize scout training as
equivalent to the requirements Of the
military training law where the leader
ship is adequate and 1t can be estab-
lished that the members Of the troop
actually receive the training made pos
sible by the boy scout program.
Under no circumstances will the
Boy Scouts of America permit the en-.
rollment Of boys as members Of q
troop merely for the purpose Of seek.
ing exemption from the provisions of
the military training law.
Az is made clear In the letter of
the Boy Scouts Of America to the MIL
itary training commission, the primary
motive in asking for the special
arrangement by the commission was
to conserve for the leadership in the
Boy Scouts Of America those scouts
sixteen years Of age and over who
were needed as patrol leaders, expert
instructors and assistant scoutmas-
tiers. and who could not in many cases
maintain membership In two organixa.

SOU S
KNOW SCOUTS JUNGLE DAN"

On one of the warm days last winter
when National Scout Commissioner
Daniel Carter Beard was on the way
to take the train to q big scout cele-
bratiOn In New York state, he was de-
layed for some time In Hoboken.
The air being close and the scout
commissioner being dressed in full uni
form. he stepped outside in the street
to obtain little fresh air. Uncon-
sciously drawing himself up and ex-
banding his lungs several times he
made quite an imposing figure and was
not aware that he was drawing q
crowd of youngsters.
Lowering his chin after full in
halation he discovered about twenty
typical little street arabs around him.
When they observed his gaze direct
ly upon them, two Of them suddenly
stepped forward and saluted with mil
itary vigor.
"Uncle Dan" was amused. and think
ing that they probably took him for
some military officer, he said rather
gruffiy but amusedly, "Who do you
think you are saluting?" One of them
came back with the words, "The
Chief" "Chief who?" said Mr.. Beard.
"Ah. You is Dan Beard-we know you"
It is hard for the idol Of boydOm to
rove into any circle high or low where
