for the information of house men,
bers showing that AZ appropriation
o'lls have been compiled, and a few
errors and omissions have been dis
covered and corrected. The revised
total is Sl5,947, 900, in round num-
bers.
Big Increase Over 1917.
Two years ago the aggregate ap-
preparations were little less than
S9,7U,000. In computing mill levies
tor the coming biennium, Chairman
Good listed the entire estimated
revenues therefrom, but the appro-
priation bills provide for only SO
to IS per cent of the proceeds from
each levy to be expended. On the
same basis, deductions totalling
S5OO0OO should be made from Chair
map Goods figures at this time.
Ths leaves the present total, for
purposes of comparison, about $751;
100000.
Of the $S,SOO,OOO increase thus ex-
hibited, about $4,500,00O is accounted
for by the state capitol levy and the
increased provision for building and
maintaining state highways. The
legislature also had to provide for
state institution deficiencies amount
ing to $288,000.

,Woman's remarkable progress In

gagged with great success in many
undertakings requiring skill, courage

especially in tennis and swimming.

Florence Flower, New York state
woman champion at pocket billiards,

Molla Biurstedt wields a tennis racket

Claire Galligan, a mermaid who
swims through the water with astonlsh-

Ruth Law, the aviatrix, is as dar-
ing as any Of the flyers, and there are
girl skaters, basketball players, auto
drivers II others In various branches
of sport who show remarkable skill.
There also have been women ball
players, boxers, wrestlers and bag
punchers who have become expert in
those vigorous branches OF sport. It
is questionable II women ever will de-

CHICKS LOOK GOOD.

The first two games the Chicks have
played in is evidence enough that Chief
Barger's gang will be a much better
team than had at first been anticipated.
The Tribe has shown a decided punch
IN the two games they have played
when all the regulars get in the local
club should be well up with any other
team in the Dixie major.
Chief Barger's only worry now Is an
other capable outfielder, a high-class
fly chaser who can also hit the ball.
The Chick officials are making an eff
fort to land a good man and will be
able to announce shortly the acquisition
of a jam-up pastimer, unless present
plans miscarry.
Pat Flaherty, old Mobile manauer
who Is now at the steering wheel Of the
Louisville Colonies, who are here meet.
lna the Chicks in an exhibition series,
hasn't a left handler on his club, but
his team Is getting enough batting prac-
tice against lett-handers, as Chief Bar
uer has sent four port.sIders against
the Colonies in two days, Pat says his
club will be we'll fixed to bat against
left flanders by the time the season
opens.
Now that Harry Coveleskie has been
satisfied by Little Rock and has signed
his contract to pitch for the Fiber
feldians. the opening day pitchers in
Little Rock on April "a will probably
be Harry Coveleskie against Cy Barger.

CLUB
COUNTS ON FLAG
Confident Bunch of Fohlies in
Training Camp.

About the most confident outfit In
the big leagues this spring Is the Glove
land club. Manager Lee Foil and his
bunch, working out at New Orleans,
have the bunch that they are going
to use the steam roller on the circuit
and cop the w~ell-lnown gonfalon.
Foil has every reason to believe the
time is ripe to bring a pennant to
Cleveland.
He has n stronger aggregation than
he had last season. Many critics freely
assert that Cleveland might have Won
the rag last year had not the season
ended abruptly. The Indians were
right on the heels Of the Red Sox.
His OUTFIT has been strengthened
greatly by deals,
Interest naturally centers around the
pitching staff, Foil hopes to have on
the field for the opening game or short
ly thereafter this crew of hurlers;
Covoleskie, Morton, Coumbe, Bagby,
Myers, Klepfer, Lambeth, Enzmann,
If the first six men deliver as they
ought to, Foil will have one OF the
most dangerous hurting staffs in the
league, The sandlotter, Uhle, Is be-
Ing touted as a star and there Ia rea-
son to believe that he may make good.
En2mann aud Torklcson looked good
before the war.
with steady old steve O'Nein, Chef
Thomas and Leslie Nunamaker for
b~ackstops, Foil has tho best catching
staff In the circuit, bar none.
His o%utfield viii hold Speaker.

Whether Wood or Graney Is the third

The infield will consist of:

all w%hopping good initial sackers.
VIII Wambsganss at second,
Ray Chapman at short.
Larry Gardner at third, with Tuck
Turner on the bench.
Harry Luhto, as utility infielder in
addition to Turner.
As II hitting club Fohl's lineup looks
good. Exclusive Of tt.e pitchers the
team will hit around 80. which Is
above The average.
Eastern critics are naming the In
dams as a team to be feared and they
are prone to underestimate the west
ern clubs.
All In all, the team ought to look
good to Foil and the Cleveland fans.
