LOCAL TEAM
MAY FIGURE IN
CHAMPION CLASS
New Pitcher and Third Baseman In
Sundays Llne.up-Reds Want
To Come Here
Soon.

Several new players will appear in
Sundays game when the locals stack
up against the Wiedemans at east end
park Sunday In what may turn out to
be a deciding factor for the Kentucky
semi-pro. championship.
Last Sunday the Wiedemans lost to
the Lexington Reos by the close score
OF s to 3 and at that time both clubs
laid claim to the championship of Ken
lucky and should Maysville win by a
larger score It would give good ground
on which they might lay their claim.
Kuhn will not be in the lineup Sum-
day and his place will be filled by
valoden formerly with Portsmouth
and his performance here with that
club several weeks ago would show
him to be a high class infielder. In
the Sunday game with Portsmouth he
played third base and in the Monday
game was shifted to short and there
he made a good impression. He showed
nothing out Of the ordinary in stick
work but the fact that he bats in clean
up place proves that he must have it
In him.
Boskins on account of his side which
has been worrying him all season has
finally given down on him was forced
to quit pitching for the remainder OF
the present season and Cooper a re-
liable pitcher of the Southern League
with Little Rock will finish out the
season and make his first appearance
Sunday. The report that Slayback
would not be back was laughed at by
manager Reese. Boskins will play left
field from now on.
Another offer has been received
from H. J. Winterman acting as a
booking agent for the Cincinnati Reds
on their post season transforming
tour an dit is being considered. From
the tone of the letter the Reds are
very anxious to come and 1t is possible
that they will come to terms today.

ture one of the best the Blue Grass
Fair has even entered into, and not

band with which you entertained the
crowd on Saturday is the most re-
markable aggregation for six months
cid that / have ever heard also wish
70 thank you for your enthusiastic
cooperation from the date the con-
ract was signed up to the last piece

LABOR SECRETARY
SEES REVIVAL IN
BUSINESS COMING
Half Billion Dollars To BE Spent BY
States, Counties and Cities In Pub.
Lie Works, Which VIII Employ
Many Persons.

Washington, Sept Is. - Those who
are disturbed over the 5,735,OOO unem-
ployed Of today overlook the fact that
in 1914 there were 100000 out of
work, a larger percentage of whom
were men and actual breadwinners
than among the present unemployed,
Secretary of Labor Davis said today in
a statement.
Declaring that the country has just
passed through period when eyery
effort was made to induce women and
others who had not worked for wages
or salaries before to work and save
starving Europe" Mr.. Davis said pres
ent unemployment figures include
great numbers of persons upon whose
earnings no one actually is dependent.
while we have our unemployed, let
us not forget tho 100000 who are
still at work." the statement said. "A
further encouraging fact is that $780,
100000 is now available about the
country in the form of bonds already
issued or appropriated by the state,
county an municipal governments for
public works. Undoubtedly this will
be organized intelligently"
Positive signs of business recovery
have been furnished by the commits
sioner Of labor statistics, Secretary
Davis. declared, adding:
Some of these signs have an aspect
Of their own. l put them out for
others to interpret as they please. But
one must have his head much In the
air these days not to notice the grow
ng prevalence CT silk hosiery and the
use Of silks in general.
THE statement has been constantly
made in news and editorial columns
If the newspapers that the Department
CT Labor has reported 5,735, 900 men as
being out Of work. The Department of
Labor has reported no such thing. 1t
did report that according to the best
estimate that could be made there are
5,795,00O fewer men, women and child
rem on the payrolls than there were in
March, 1920. There is difference
with distinction. 1t is a very differ
ent matter from saying that there are
5,735,OOO men unemployed"

sociation, organization Of which is now

sured Wednesday, following several
conferences between representatives
Of the preliminary committee of hurley
growers and Treasury Department Of

Two important results obtained
from the conferences, which, according

guarantee the successful handling of
the crop by the association, are:
First, definite assurance given by
the War Finance Corporation that If
the hurley growers organize under the
proposed cooperative marketing plan,
the corporation will give any applica-
ton made by the association the same
consideration that already has been
given to similar organizations of cot
ton growers, advances to which have
been in excess of so per cent. of the
value of the crop.
Second, presentation to the Federal
Reserve Board Of a request for a rul-
ing that growers drafts on the associ,
alton, accompanied by weight tickets
shall be classed as agricultural paper
and indications Of the officials that a
favorable reply may be expected
which would entitle such paper to six
months credit, rather than the three
