BOURBON GUN CLUB

We held our regular shoot We'd
nesday afternoon with twenty-five
shooters taking part in the after
Moons sport. The crowd was small
on account of so many housing to-
bacco, and threatening weather,
which finally did develope in hav-
ing several nice showers. Now if our
opening the gun club will have any
think to do with getting some badly
needed rains, we will go over there
and stay open day and night. The
trophy, a nice travelling toilet set,
donated by A. j. Winters & Co., was
won by Douglas Thomas, Jr., after
a battle royal, four tying for first
shoot-off, then two for second shoot
off and the third shOot-off decided
the winner. Don't forget the big
all-day registered shoot, which is
known as the Blue Grass Champion
ship, and will be held at Hill Top.

RUSSELL RESIGNS AS BLUE
GRASS LEAGUE HEAD

Thomas M. Russell, of Maysville,
president of the Blue Grass League,
who was also president of the Blue
Grass League of a decade ago, ten
dered his resignation at a meeting
OF the club owners at the Phoenix
Hotel in Lexington, Wednesday
night. Mr.. Russell will continue in
Office until his successor is elected.
Club owners present expressed
much regret that Mr.. Russell should
give up the presidency, but he ex-
planned that the pleasure of holding
the office was not enough to COM
pensate him for the enemies he
had made while trying to do his
duty. 1t was largely through the
efforts of Mr.. Russell that the Blue
Grass circuit, composed of but six
clubs and carrying "a schedule, of
but two games week, was able to
weather the storms that threatened
to upset it during the early part of
the season. No mention has been
made as to who may be his sue
cessor.
The meeting was hastily arrang-
ed, and was not announced by Mr..
Russell until Wednesday. A num-
Der of other matters were discussed
including financial arrangements
umpires, "meddling with players, -
and contracts. No definite action
was taken, except that it was de-
cided that all contracts be forward
ed directly to the president.
The Winchester and Lexington
clubs agreed good-naturedly to fight
it out to the bitter end for the pos
session of John "Rasty" Wright
who has pitched for both clubs
and who has also been sold to Pitts
burg. Apparently an extensive lega
battle is to result.
| President Russell announced thai
Devereaux, Winchester first base
man, and Glass, Maysville outfield
er, had been fined $25 and $40 re
spectively for fist fight in which
the two engaged in a recent game
Every club in the league with thu
exception of Mt. Sterling was rep
resented.

TOBACCO BEING CUT PREMA-
TURELY

Premature tobacco cutting is go
ing on in Bourbon county, as we'll as
in other counties in this section,
owing to the drouth of unusual Sc
verify that is prevailing over the
Bluegrass. Farmers are cutting
their tobacco wherever the plants
show signs of burning" The crop
according to local growers, is being
damaged considerably by the drouth
compelling early cutting.
Some farmers state that although
the quality of the tobacco would be
good, the yield will be light, and is
considerably decreased. With the
exception of some tobacco where the
tops are still green, the premature
cutting is not bad, as the crop is
housing up nicely.
Reports say that in scattering in
stances the tobacco is really ready
to cut, but that in most cases the
growers are cutting simply to pre-
vent greater damage by the heat
Crops already in the barn are cur
ing in good shape, the weather being
perfect for this stage of handling
the crop.
Corn crops are reported as suf
| fering from the drouth. Early corr
gives promise of a good yield, bu'
the late paintings are reported a:
being anything but promising in ap
pearance and prospects.

THE STRIKE SITUATION

Hopes of a settlement of the rail-
way shopmen's strike, which were
held out to the American public
following the big conference of last
Friday, appears to have been wreck
ed completely.
The 148 members of the Associa-
ton of Railway Executives, gather
ed from all parts of the country at
the call of T. Dewitt Cuyler, their
chairman, announced after hours OF
secret deliberation that they stood
for surrender by the strikers OF
their seniority rights. 1t is known
that when their conference opened
at the Yale Club, FOrty-fourth
Street and Vanderbilt Avenue, the
Western and Southern executives
and a number of the Eastern men
favored conciliatory measures.
All prospects of peace, however
were shattered by the "die-hard'
group which for the last few days
had been marshaling it's forces fol
the purpose of obstructing any kind
of peace that would not mean dis
rupting of the shopmen's union.
Persons in position to speak au
! thoritatively for the shopmen de-
clared that there could be no sepa'
rate compromise. They said thai
the strikers would have to go back
in a body or not at all.
The gathering was the third the
executives have held this month fol
the purpose of considering proposals
to end the strike. At the first meet
ing they unanimously rejected Pres
ident Harding's Overtures on tht
ground that they could not restore
the seniority of the men. At theil
second they were divided on thu
same question.
