He had stretched out wearily on tiny summing bank in the farthest corner of the Old Pas ture. and had just about made up his mind that he would go back that very night to the dear Old Briar Patch on the Green Meadows, when a tiny rustic behind him made him jump to his feet with his heart in his mouth But instead of the angry face of the old gray rabbit he saw-what do you think?

THE COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT
ASSOCIATION BRINGS THINGS
TO PASS.

The Community Improvement AS
ISOLATION is not only an active or
ganization but an organization
which is actually bringing things to
pass.
Some days ago, they sent in a
petition for electric lights for GER
tain dark sections of the city and
fer crossings at certain intersections
in the city. The reply came back
most fayorably The crossings have
already been placed at the corner
of Cottage Lane and Leonard Sts.,
an6 Cottage Lane and Fairmount.
We are also in possession of let
ter from the Mayor saying that a
light woul. be placed at the corner
OF Good street and Cottage Lane.
We are hoping also that one will
be placed at tie corner of Cottage
Lane and Leonard streets.
The community improvement AS
location has proven such great
benefit TO the people living in the
North Dallas Community, that Rev.
Mr.. Maye, the General Director will
soon place organizations in other
parts OF the city.
Mrs. Amanda Owens, the presi-
dent of this Association is due much
credit for the success Of organ "a
ton. She is not only good presi-
dent, bu also a good field WORK n.
Our hope is to make Dallas a
better city to live in.

TEXAS LEAGUE DECIDES FRANCHISE TWADDLE AND
OTHER SPORTS

AS to what extent the action of
the Texas League In rendering its
decision in the Patterson assell
and Sablosl1y Morris franchise twad-
die will affect Negro base ball the
coming season no one knows.
The franchise alone has been
awarded TO Sablosky and Morris of
Mineral Wells. Patterson and Has
sell owns the park grounds and
equipment.
The local franchise holders 1t is
claimed contracted to sell and con-
vey to Ike Sablcsky and Walter
Morris OF Mineral Wells the Dallas
Base Ball franchise, grounds and
equipment for the sum of $780,
600 and later 1t became apparent
that local owners refused to sub
NIT TO the original agreement when
the men appeared with the contract
money. The refusal to comply with
terms of the agreement, involved
the League, and in It's meeting here
Sunday, thrashed out the particulars
incident to the controversy and
awarded the rights of said franchise
to the Mineral Wells buyers. Pat
terson and Hassell have purchased
Gardner Park and all equipment
therein and It will be UP to the
new owners to come to terms with
Hassell and Co., or build a new
base ball park.
The twaddle however, may have
reached the height OF its zenith.
