LEAGUE SCHEDULE
may Be Changed TO
4 GAMES A Week
Bluegrass League Officials Discuss
Advisabidty Of Making Change in
Schedule to Double the
Number of Games.

Paris, KY, May II. - That the Blue
grass League soon will be playing
four days week instead of two was
the sentiment of meeting here to-
night at which President Thomas M.
Russell of the league was present and
each OF the six clubs was represented.
The meeting was called by President
Russell for the purpose of discussing
the plan Of doubling the number of
games in the schedule, and although
no definite action was taken, it was
decided to hold meeting here next
Thursday night, when the matter will
be put to vote.
A majority of the clubs were in
favor of the four-day-a-we schedule,
but some objections were raised and it
was said that the plan would not be
carried out unless the vote was unan-
imous in favor of it.
If the four-day schedule is adopted,
games probably would be played on
Tuesdays, Thursdays Saturdays and
Sundays. Each team would play 80 or
100 games instead Of so.
Arguments advanced in favor of the
increased schedule were that the play
ers would be kept in better training
and would be able. to play better ball,
and that the interest in the game
would be greater, perhaps more prof
table. The enthusiasm over the game
in the Bluegrass is running high, and
the league moguls believe that this is
an opportune moment to inaugurate
the new schedule.
Present at the meeting were: Presi-
dent Russell, Secretary e. L. Willett
and Claude Watkins of Maysvillc; J..
S. Basket, of Winchester, Charles Ell
lis of Mt. Sterling, ]. S. Morton of Lex
ington, Wood Taylor and J. S. Line
han of Cynthiana, George D. Spakes,
B. F. Goodman and T. T. Marshall of
Paris.

For Cooperation Of Public.

The American Legion Home has had
its spring cleaning. 1t is swept and
garnished. A wealth of flowers adorns
its main reception hall, and its exter-
ior is gay with our national colors and
the insignia Of the knights Templar
All is in readiness for the shower!
In days when the war cloud threat
ened, we sent the flower Of our young
manhood to the trenches to defend our
lives and homes. Many Of our Mason
county soldiers gave their all; the
others returned one by one and took
up their family duties and community
obligations. BY organizing themselves
into the Leslie H. Arthur Post, they
are endeavoring to keep alive the
memory of those who died that liberty
might live and to inculcate a sense Of
individual obligation to the commun-
ity, state and nation; to make right
the master Of might; to promote peace
and good will on earth; to safeguard
and transmit to posterity the princi-
pies Of justice. freedom and democ-
racy; to consecrate and sanctify their
comradeship by their devoation to mu-
tual helpfulness.
We, the favored ones, who have
never left homes and comforts, can not
express In words our gratitude but
we can at this time lend our hearty
support to the Legion's effort to fur
nish the club rooms. Let us make this
shower for our soldier boys memoir
able event in the history Of Mason
county when every one. young and old,
rich and poor, has his share. Come
out Friday afternoon and evening, and
do your part in making the Legion
