MIDWEST IS
OUT Of CITY
LEAGUE RACE
Seven Team Schedule is Be
ing Prepared-Big
Meeting Monday.

According to announcement made
last night by President Boiler OF the
Fairmont Industrial Baseball league,
there will be but seven teams in the
league this year instead of eight as
last sason. This is brought about by
the fact that Midwest has decided
not to place ,.eam in the field this
wear. The Ma West people claim
that they can net put team in the
field that will be fast enough to COM
pete with other teams IN inc league
and have yielded up tksir franchise.

matter and will be permitted to use

SECOND CHOICE is NOT so BAD
BY FRED TuRHYvILLE.

There was considerable anxiety in
the respective camps Of the Indians,
Giants and White Sox this spring. Joe
Harris was holdout. Hal Chase re-
tired from the big leagues and Chick
Gandil hoped to the outlaws in Idaho.
Iris Speaker and Jim Dunn, Of the
Indians, worried lest their excellent
chances for the pennant would be min
imized by the absence Of the slugging

by Hal Chase's leaving:
And Kid Gleason, with a champion,

do 1t minus Gandil.
But they're all getting along.

this way of entertaining them.

this way of entertaining them
Tuesday evening under the auspices
OF the U. ID. C., concert was given
at the Dixie Theater. The house was
so crowded that there was really no
standing room" So the entertain
ment was a huge success in every
sense of the word; for artistically
there was no criticism which could
be made on the even tenor of merit
Little Miss Mabel league made her
first appearance as a song imperson-
ator; and she was recalled so enthu-
siastically that the small lass wa
surprised, though in no way, did she
show her sweet perturbation. Miss
Rocco's spring dance was well done
The little lady has improved upon her
first success. Miss Loretto Longs
voice was even in more perfect tone
than usual. While new dancer
made her appearance with Miss Ada
Glare Theobald. This little girl has
genuine talent. Mrs. r. L. Rodgers
delighted her audience with her
charming voice, while the opportun-
ity to hear Mrs. deBauviere's voice
is ever a sufficient inducement to
draw a crowd Of music lovers.
The evenings entertainment closed
with a flower dance. The little girls
in this dance deserve a special men
ton for their celver work Miss
Maud Zeal was the leader. Next to
her came Miss Meride Wefing, then
Betty Ploeger. after her Miss Mildred
Sawyer and last, but least only in
size, Miss Dorothy Homer. These
little girls ranged from nine to five
years in age, and their teachers, Mrs.
Bosarge. deserves much credit for the
careful training that she must have
given them to produce such a har-
monizing dance.
Mrs. III. L. Oliver visited her sister
at the Florida College for Women in
Tallahassee this week.
On Friday evening r. NJ. Dorsey,
principal Of the Chapman High School
will deliver a lecture upon Tennyson.
Mr.. Dorsey will illustrate his lecture
by recitations from the works of this
poet. There will be several musical
numbers and the proceeds will go to-
ward the fund for the health work,
which the Parents Teachers Associa-
ton has so herioically undertaken.
During the winter this society has
served breakfasts and luncheons to the
underfed children that they found
were attending the city schools. In
fact the work has proved to be such
a serious undertaking that the South
ern Division of the A. r. c., has sent
a visiting nurse to the city, who has
undertaken to carry the work further
than the busy members of this asso-
citation can. Mrs. Wood, the trained
nurse, has been here for several
weeks; and she plans to remain in the
city until Summer.
Mrs. r. G. Porter is chairman of this
worthy organization and Mrs. Matte
Whiteside Brunson is the secretary.

Philadelphia, April ga campaign
for the building of homes is Phila-

To stop the profiteering in rents
and homes, several organizations are
attempting to unite on program of
house building to continue for at least

include associations of tenants, trade
unions, representatives of the building
trades and mortgaging companies.
They have been asked to undertake
this work by the Department of Pub
lie Welfare. :.
Meanwhile camping ground accessi-
BILE by street cars is in great demand.
Tent manufacturers say more orders
have been placed for tents this month
than ever before in Philadelphia's his
tory.
There is an unprecedented amount of
building of cheap cottages and bunga-
lows within a radius of 80 miles of

rush of tie mantle that is ex-
pected when mild weather comes.
Those erected in one community cost
about 5000 each and are eagerly rented
