BASEBALL

The old Lake Shore league seems to
be dead. 1t is giving no signs Of life.
The applications of Manitowoc and
Sheboygan for admission to the Fox
River Valley circuit were turned down
by the moguls of that wheel last week.
The spectacle of these two towns, for
mer naughty leaders, of the old Lake
Shore league being spurned at the door
step of the Fox River league is har-
rowing indeed. These two towns have
had baseball teams in some recent
years that ranked easily with Western
Association ball.
The news from Sheboygan is that
Liebl will have in the field a crack in
dependent team and that he is now
making his dates.
Manitowoc will probably have to
content itself with a berth or two in
the county league with Valders, Kell-
nersyille and the rest. Maybe they
wont let us in but if they do the real
lover of baseball will see as good sport
as he would from a team of profes-
sionals whose only connection with the
city is labels on their shirt fronts
This week plans were completed for
county league to be made up prob
ably of teams from Manitowoc, Two
Rivers, Kellnersville, Reedsville, Val
ders and Cleveland. John Herzog, vet
eran baseball manager has been pre-
vailed upon to take charge and a
meeting to perfect the organization
will he held in a few days. 1t is said
that the Aluminium Goods team of this
city will not seek league berth, but
will play Independent ball One or
more of the teams proposed would re-
dIire strengthening to furnish real
competition in the league.

and some definite understanding arriy-
ed at. The welfare of educational work
in Manitowoc County demand that this
question be discussed and settled in a
dignifed and business-like manner, and
that the county work as unit instead
of factions. Notices win be sent clerks
within week or two outlining the plan
which has been suggested by an
interested school board member,

CITY COUNCIL NOTES

The council met on Wednesday last
week following an old custom of not
meeting on the regular meeting night
when it falls on the evening before
election day Drumm was the only
absentee.
Bids for the S350,000 of 5R per
cent high school bonds were opened.
The high bid was that of the local
National Bank which offered par, ac-
crued interest and a premium of $780,
GIL. The next highest bid was also
local, being an offer of SIS,5l5 by the
Savings Bank and East Wisconsin
Trustee company. There were nearly
a dozen other bids by metropolitan
bond houses, ranging from SlS,375 to
SI4,23l. The local American Exchange
bank made an offer of Sl6,73O. There
were also offers of a premium on per
cent bonds. Just what the idea is in
issuing 51s per cent bonds when 8 per
cent are at a premium is not clear 1t
is one way of raising about $4,000 by
a simple twist of the wrist.
Steps were taken in the issuing of
100000 of per cent paving bonds.
The clerk was directed to publish the
ordinance.
The 1922 concrete paving work was
let to the Manitowoc Construction
company. The price is 81 GA per square
yard which is So cents less than last
years work.
The city entered into a contract with
the Manitowoc Construction company
in the summer of 1921 for the paving
of South 14th street, but did not let
the work proceed. The company pur-
chased its material at the 1921 prices,
but the city thinks the contractor now
ought to make some concessions to the
cheaper labor cost of doing the job
The mayor was instructed to take it
up with the company.
The upshot of the street husher mat
ter was that the council authorized the
purchase of the Master 1900 gallon
street fusher the outfit originally rec
commended by the committee, for ST.
533.
The council voted the money allowed
to property owners in the South 10Th
street condemnation matter in the sum
of S5,70O. Thompson said that the
condemnation price was SI,70Q less
than could5c ob.,i:.ed Oh pihS Sse pur-
chase.
The Chicago and Northwestern Rail
way company was directed by resolu-
tion to place a flagman where the new
yiaduct way crosses its main line
tracks
Election officers were voted $500
per man per day for their recent
services
The council as a canvaSsing board
proceeded to decide the tie which the
fourth ward election board certified to
exist in the vote for alderman in that
ward. Six envelopes were mixed. One
contained slip with BouriPs name,
one with Hanson'S and four were
blanks. Bourirs came out on the first
draw and he was declared elected. This
was not the end of the matter, how
ever.
Business men along Eighth street,
down town, want parking ordinance.
There is said to be threat by the
state highway officials to route No. II
over Tenth street if congestion is not
prevented. The petition asks for a
limit of thirty minutes. The matter
was referred to the committee on
streets and will come up again.

The airship which floated over this
city on Monday night last, appeared at
a seasonable hour, 50 that all had an
opportunity to follow its course. As it
sailed on majestically, people who know
how to steer a trick confidently assert
ed she had come across the lake and
was making for Ashland. The opinion
of these men was eagerly sought by
the open mouthed gazers whose eyes
were lifted toward heaven for the first
time in years. People who were toast
ing their feet feeling they had earned
nights repose, caught sight of the
careening airship, 'lone wondering but
not lost, ;" obeyng the helm, with inn
pulsive but unsteady purpose to reach
Ashland, or bust, and rushed into
the muddy streets with naked feet
shouting to their neghbors to come out
and observe the wonder Of the age.
Dogs barked, children screamed, pretty

and grave men gave sententious ex-
preston "to the thoughts that arose in
them, concerning this triumph of the
age.
But the airship moved On more rapidly
than did little Joe and with less of
pathos. The following morning farm
er brought the arship to the city. 1t

was therel 1t was a ruined and dilapi-
dated balloon and bore the inscription

afloat by F. c. Mitchell, the salesman
of Wellauer & Hoffman Co., of Mil
waukee, from back yard. 1t went up
80 rapidly that its ascent was not motto
ed generally, and it caused genuine
sensation.
