CITIZENS COMPLAIN OF LAWNS
BEING DAMAGED

Many complaints have been heard
this week Of the action of some
stockmen in driving herds Of cattle
over the streets Of the city without
having a sufficient number of men to
keep them from straying. One prom
inent Paris physician told THU
NEWS yesterday that his lawn
which was unfenced, had been prac-
tically ruined by a drove of cattle
being driven along the streets at
tended by two little boys, not men.
There is a city ordinance which
expressly forbids this, imposing q
fine for violation thereof, but like
many other city ordinances, 1t is
observed only in the breach. The
drovers. themselves are to blame
mostly for the trouble, as they
should send along sufficient help to
keep the cattle from straying. It's q
very annoying thing to the careful
housekeeper to see her nicely kept
lawn utterly. ruined by a bunch Of
cattle. Some of the sufferers state
they will prosecut the next time the
cattle are driven aloang the street
without having the proper number
of tenders, men. not boys.

WELL-KNOWN B0UR-
BON PEOPLE

Miss Mary Bryan. society editor
of the Lexington Herald, writing
from Hopkinsville during the SEES
sions Of the State Federation of Wo-
mans Clubs, says of prominent
Bourbon county people who attended
the meeting:
"Mr. Frederick Wallis was another
guest of honor. This is his native
place also and he had a grand ova-
ton when he gave his lecture on
Immigration Thursday evening
before the federation. He is accom-
panied by Mrs. Wallis, who made a
very entertaining report to the con
vention of the Kentucky Club Of
New York, of which she is presi-
dent.
Lexington has claim upon them
also, as Mr.. Wallis lived here for
several years and Mrs. Wallis was
Miss Mainline Clay, of Paris. They
are both so gracious and lovely the
people here are delighted with them.
'Mr. Wallis spoke briefly of his
interest in Kentucky's problems and
his faith in the Federation's ability
to help solve them, declaring his
belief that anything the women get
back of they put over"

TO-DAY'S GAMES
Maysville at Paris.
Winchester at Mt. Sterling.
Cynthiana at Lexington.

One of the largest and most en-
thusiastic crowds of the present
season witnessed the game at League
Park, Sunday afternoon between the
Lexington and Paris teams of the
Bluegrass League. For large
number only standing room was
available, every seat on the grand
stand and bleachers being taken.
The game was holly contested
throughout, but was lost to Paris by
a series of bad plays and fumbles at
critical moments. The final score
stood 4 to in favor of Lexington.
Turner's triple and Amato's single
in the seventh inning drove Wills,
Paris pitcher, from the box after he
had pitched six innings, allowing
but two hits, and gave Lexington a
winning margin over the locals. Jim
Park, pitching for the Lexingtons,
kept the Paris hits we'll scattered.
Sensational fielding on the part Of
the Lexington infield featured the
game. The batteries were: For
Lexington. Park and Turner; for
Paris, Wills, Miner and Brooke.
Triebel. former big league umpired
the game, which went for one hour
and ,fifty-five minutes.
The meeting held in Paris to con-
slider the proposition to extend the
Bluegrass League to four games a
week, resulted in the clubs voting
four for and two against. Cynthiana
and Winchester are opposed to
changing the SCHEDULE, but Presi-
dent Russell believes the change
will finally be made.
Brocky, the crack catcher for the
Paris team, leads the list of heavy
hitters in the Blue Grass League,
with about .45o average. He is a
steady, consistent player, and is
reasonably certain of getting safe
hits in every game. He is playing a
star game on the receiving station
for Paris.
There will be no ball game between
the Presbyterians and Baptists to-
day, (Tuesdayl. A double header
will be played Friday by the Church
League.
