NOBODY WANTS TO
Be CITY OFFICIAL

who's going to run for mayor and
city councilmen?" is familiar ques-
tion in Winnemucca nowadays, as the
election is to be held May 3-less
than a month hence. The answer is
that unless someone shows up pretty
soon there won't be any running.
A question has arisen as to the last
day candidates may file nominating
petitions with City Clerk Harp. The
ordinance reads that such petitions
must be filed fifteen days before the
date of election, which If meant to
be e"ll days would mean Saturday,
April 16, would be the last day.
The fifteenth day falls on Sunday, the
18th, upon which day such business
could of course not be attended to.
However. point might be stretched
and the ordinance interpreted to
mean nominating petitions could be
filed Monday, April IS. The sure date,
however. is the 18th.
In the case of mayor nominating
petitions must be signed by at least
five per cent of the voters of the city,
as numbered at the last election. For
councilman signatures must be OBJ
tanned from five per cent of the peo-
pie residing In the ward aspired to
be represented.
So far not soul has signified in
tention or desire to become candi-
date either for mayor or councilman.
Mayor Brandon said positively, today,
that he will not run, because he
doesn't want the work attached to
the place. He says he hasn't the
time 10 spare from his law practice
and what time he has got he wants to
spend on the Owyhee irrigation prof.
ect. he having become an irrigation
advocate for the good 1t will do the
community. He is determined either
the Owyhee project or project along
the Humboldt shall go through. His
friends. however, are active. and be-
lieve sufficient pressure can be
brought to make Mayor Brandon see
the matter in a different light and
reconsider. They propose to send
enough people to him with requests
that he run that he will finanlly
throw up his hands and agree to run
to get rid Of them.
Councilmen Akin, Hoskins and
Sites are not at all anxious to take
again the places they now hold and
all would like to shed the RESPONSE
bility IL they could. They are waver-
ing now between duly and personal
desire for privacy, and no one can
blame them particularly. The worn
out phrase that Its a thankless job"
applies and these men feel the best
they can get out of the office is honor
and enemies, they having no apparent
interests to serve Had they an AK
to grind the situation might become
different Whether they will run or
not apparently depends upon how
strong sentiment develops.
Others mentioned as possible can
didates. in street talk. are DR.. Swezy-
L. @. Campbell and l.. o. Hawkins for
mayor, and M. Reinhart for council
man, second ward. Whether any OF
these will listen to an actual propo
sition to run or not has not yet been
learned, though Hawkins denies that
he ever thought of running and says
he wouldn't accept under any cir
cumstances. The others have not yet
been interviewed.

King, acting secretary, at recent
meeting of the Legislative Council of
Indiana Women. AS she read the last
word, she realized what she had said
and started to laugh. It was in the
text of the minutes Of the preceding
meeting, at which Mrs. King had not
acted as secretary, and came in the
account of legislative council bills
which had been passed, advanced, or
"killed"
AS it happened, it was a mistake
after all, for it was another bill per-

had been killed, not that creating

never make that speed, and I'll be
burned if I try to urge her to, even

Freddie Boorde 10 Meet Atlanta Boxer
 in Battle Tonight

Freddie Boorde, local lightweight box CT is in Atlanta today, where he will meet Fearless Ferns in a 10-round bout tonight It is just one of the several bouts planned by Tommy Tompkins, who is managing Boorde, whereby Freddie can be given the opportunity to make something out of himself in the boxing game.
 Very little is known of Fearless Ferns by local bugs but what Birming ham fans are interested in. in regard to tcnight's fight, is how Freddie Boorde comes out.
 Freddie will probably win the fight, at least the odds seem to point in his favor. His wonderful improvement during the past months has won many admirers for him and the outcome of the bout to- night will probably be watched with in- terest by. local bugs.
 After his bout in Atlanta, Freddie has bouts in Memphis and probably Louis vile.
 Tompkns and Boorde will probably be back in Birmingham in time to witness the Ailred-Donza bout at the B. A. c. Thursday rHght.

GREENVILLE WINS FROM FIVE, 46 TO 3

Greenvlle, January 16.-(Special.)- The Greenville High school basketball team defeated the team of the Lu ,rne High school at that place last night by a score of 46 to 8.
 Greenville's accuracy in throvins goals and strong defense made the one sided score possible. V. Stabler, who centered for Greenville, and Riley, one of Greenville's forwards, earned the majority of the points reco fded by Greenville. Some of their field goals were thrown from very diff cult |angles. Colemans work at forward for Luverne was probably the best of any of his team mates. but he was able to cage only one field goal Green villes guards prevented Luverne from making few open shots at the goal Greenville's team was great deal faster than the Crenshaw county boys Lineup and summary;
 |Greenville (46). Position. Luverne (5). Riley (20) ... Forward Ketler (1) |Steindorff (4. Forward Coleman (1) w. Stabler (22) ..Center Pace Campbell .... Guard ..... Helm A. Stabler ...... Guard ... Williams

Nj. Landis, baseball commissioner. to be used as he sees fit in investigation in con- nection with the game
 The fund will be supplied entirely by the major leagues and it is believed that Judge Landis may use some of it in furthering the investigation of alleged game throwing in the 1919 world series.
 We made Judge Lands the ruler with power to do as he pleased,' said Pres ieent John Heydler of the National league in announcing the fund and now we are placing at his disposal the means of carrying out his wishes.
 The tentative draft of the ma minor regulations provides all leagues not going into the draft must notify the advisory council not later than Irebruary 15, next. The regulations provide that the draft should not be compulsory, but that leagues remaining out of it cannot draft from leagues which come in.
 The tentative draft of the regulations will be sent to the various leagues for their individual approval, which in most cases already has been indicated, for most of the rules were discussed at the recent baseball meetings.
 Within two weeks the advisory council expects to be organized with secre- function officially. Headquarters will be bara

MCCULLOUGH A FIND

The find of the season for the Bull dogs seems to be Mccullough, who plays ceatcr for the Bulldogs The lanlSy bas- keteer starred against Alabama. scoring many points in the first game and all but two in the second. Mccullough shows real promise and should develop into a star of the highest quality. Al ready he is being compared to o. B. Newman, one of the best players ever turned out by Howard college.
 At forwards. Blackwelder and Robin son are playing good basketball for the Bulldogs. Captain Afford. one of the too few veterans, and Dan Gaylord, a newcomer, are holding down their posi- tions in good style.
 Very little is known of Coach Gillam's S M. A. crew. except that all reports coming from Greensboro have it that trey are fixed ur in good shape for bat tie. If link has succeeded in injecting any of his own knowledge of the game, his pep and his love for the game, then the Bulldogs will have worthy foe in- deed
 & NJ. A. also has light squad and it looks like the two foes are evenly matched
 Such well known local athletes as Pat Shores Rowdy Crewe and Ham Stevens will be here with the visiting quintet, and their local friends will no doubt turn out to witness them in action once more.

Deuette Alfred, Bessemers represen- tative in featherweight boxing rings is in prime condition for his bout with Ashton Donza which will take place here Thursday night. This was f.n- nounced by a B. A. C. official who is closely aligned with Alfred.
 The Bessemer boy will have the
 fight of his life when he enters
 the ring against Donza. As about
 every local fan knows, sDonza Is
 one of the classiest little scrap
 pers in Dixie and is capable of
 taking the measure of almost any
 man his size against whom he is sent. Whether Alfred is one of
 the few Dixie featherweights who
 can master Donza or not remains
 to be seen.

All red was matched with 'Donza in -fe semi-finals, but Sailor Dixon, who was handling Alfred, forfeited the bout u the Crescent City boy, stating that his charge was not in shape for really hard battle at that time.
 But now Deuette has had consider "ptS Hioies oAperieHce tHdH tneH anu should stand an even, chance against Donza.

 which of these speed artists will
 be able 10 beat the other to the
 punch. The one who gains this
 advantage will undoubtedly win
 the match. The two boys are about
 evenly matched in hitting powers,

He may continue as the coach of the University of Michigan baseball team during the spring training and then join us in t+s for the opening league games in the nl'd- dle of April in the east
