THURSDAYS GAME MAY BE
A SURPRISE TO CARDINALS.

The fast aggregation from Mt. Ster-

the attraction at league parry Thursday
afternoon in their first appearance OF
the season. For long time the ESSEX
team was considered the baby club of
the loop but they have recovered and
are now going like house afire with
three wins out OF the last four starts.
Their first victory was to conquer the
chesty Lexington Studebakers and a
victory Thursday would be almost as
much pleasure to them. Shaw will take
his regular turn In the box to be OPP
posed by Lefty Townsend who needs
no introduction to the fans since his
appearance here last year with the
fast Portsmouth bunch. Play starts at
3 o'clock.

by the way shows that he is q stone
wall. Margerum has a perfect record
as fly chaser and both pitchers have
fielded without bobble.
In the way Of speed on the bases
Ty Cobb could even be jealous. The
bunch have swiped 20 sacks to date,
Is fthese are due to three men, Glass
with 6, Fortner s, and Connolly 4.
Shaw and Eineman are both reliable
pitchers and consistent workers
though not as steady as some in the
league they are allowing as few hits
per game as any mound artist in the
business. Both have yielded but an
average Of S hits per game and in
three games only two runs were made
of Shaw. Some idea Of their invinci-
bleness is made plain by the batting
average Of the opposition .149, which
sounds more like trotting record for
a mile. But as the season goes on the

TWO SUITS FOR BIG
DAMAGES ARE FILED
AGAINST MAYSv|LLE
Suits Involving City's Peddlers' Ii.
cense Ordinance Filed in Federal
Court at COvingtOn Against
City on Tuesday.

Covington, KY, May "a. - The ques-
tion of soliciting orders and making
future deliveries without obtaining a
municipal license is involved in a suit
filed yesterday in the United States
District Court for the Eastern District
of Kentucky at Covington, by Wesley
Maier, Cincinnati, in which he is seek
ing $4,000 damages from the city of
Maysville, KY.
Maier states in his petition that he
was arrested and imprisoned on last
April 7th by Chief James Mackey on a
warrant issued by Judge Harry c.
Curran Of the Maysville Police Court
that he remained in Jail for three
hours and was fined SIS and costs, a
total of 1880 by Judge Curran.
Maier claims he was not "peddling
without license" when the arrest
was made, but that he was delivering
goods to fill orders previously taken
He says the cost of a license was $25
per day to residents of other cities
while to citizens of Maysville the price
was $40 per day, which he declares is
discrimination.
Samuel Greenfield, doing business
as the Star Art Company, Cincinnati
also filed suit against the city of
70
because, he says, two of his agents
were arrested and his business dam
aged in the sum of $25,O00.
Greenfield says in his petition that
his business is that of enlarging
photographs, that orders are solicited
for future delivery, hence the law does
not require him to obtain licenses for
his agents in municipalities.

MAYSVILLE HAS AN
OPPORTUNITY TO
LAND Big Factory
Manufacturers of Artificial Leather
Seek Location in SOuth-Ask no
Bonus But Would Borrow
Enough TO Erect Plants.

Maysville has an opportunity to OBJ
tain one OF the lafgest manufactures
OF artificial leather in America and
steps are being taken to investigate
the companys proposition.
A rough sketch Of the concern de-
string to locate at Maysville Is that
It employs approximately five hundred
men the year round and will require
twenty acres of ground upon which
TO erect three large daylight factory
buildings and one large office building
OF concrete and steel or brick. The
concern, whose identity has not been
announced now operates two plants in
the North and they are desiring to
consolidate their plants into one large
plant in the South where they will
have good shipping facilities and sat
isfactory labor conditions. The plant
will use about three million yards OF
cotton cloth annually and as their pro
duct is made by a chemical process.
will employ much skilled labor at good
salaries.
The company asks no bonus but
seeks to float a loan Of approximately
s750.OOo for the purchase OF land and
the erection OF buildings. This loan
they propose to care for by means OF
interest naying bonds extending over
n period OF ten years.
The possibility OF locating this large
factory was brought to the attention
OF Maysville by the industrial depart
ment OF the C. & o. Railway Company
and is being thoroughly Investigated
by local business men.
Such n factory as is proposed would
be n great addition to Maysville and
would be Just about the sized factory
this city now needs very badly.

and in the field, Glass being more than

that every time he hits 1t is good for
two and one-half bases, besides show
