To Be SEEN
WINFIELD
BY DAVIS ]. WALSH

NEW YORK, Dec. ibid you
ever hear of a worlds champion
ship ball club throwing away its
pat hand in order to draw down
to the real strength Of its cards?
According to the prattle OF idle
tongues hereabouts, you are going
to do more than hear about it
this season. You probably are
sgoing to see 1t and the Philadel-
phia Athletics are the ball team
THAT may show it to you.
They say Joe Boley won't
start the season in Philadelphia
and it may be we'll to remember
THAT the international code on
Efoul play says that what you
don't start, you don't have to
finish.
AS q shortstop, Mr.. Boley no
longer goes and gets them. They
Haave to come and get him. He
doesn't go to his left. He doesn't
go to his right. He still can
come in for them, however, and
sthey give him break in one
other respect.
It seems to be agreed that
81 he goes back well, the idea
here being that practice
makes perfect. They say he
has been going back for the
last three years.
& This, anyhow, is supposed to be
one infield change that Connie
Mack is contemplating. Another
rs supposed to be the shift of
Jimmy Foxx back to third base,
with a kid by the name Of Jim
KELSEY taking over the No. / in
Hield Job.
Everybody always knows, by the
way, what Connie Mack is con-
hennplating. You probably no
diced that during the last World
series. If he contemplates all the
arrangements they have gener-
ouSly made for him this time, it
Is possible that Max Bishop will
be the only man in the 1880 in
field occupying the position he
played when they closed the books
at the end of the fiGcal year.
Right now they are touting a
youth by the name Of McNair to
90 in there and make Philad elphia
forget Jack Barry, Dave Bancroft,
Nike Doolan, Monte Cross and
others who strongly suspected that
they could play srOrtstop. Jim.Ay
Dykes, as d matter Of fact, is a
natural for the place if Foxx
moves over to third base and
Boley doesn't start. ;
They need steadiness in that
part OF the infield, and, while
some seem to think that
Dykes merely is steadily bad,
they do him an injustice. A
good, fighting ball player, all
he does is make the hard ones I
look harder.
However, say what you like
about the situation, 1t is far from
feasible to expect that the Ath-
lIetics viii blow the pennart in
1880. The fact that there is
enough uncertainty about the in
field to suggest possible changes
lis significant. but no matter what
they do the Athletics are six, two
lard even against the field. They
have too much pitching. They
have nothing to beat. Outside of
Mat, they are in an llncultured
hredicanerlt and what Imean is d

It seems, after all, that George

Although candidates haven't
been called for the team nor has
a coach yet been appointed, 1t is
thought that the squad will be-

Lou Little IS taking definite
steps trying to rearrange the
schedule which he originally had
drawn up for the mittmen, but
which was cancelled some two
weeks ago when 1t was decided
to abandon the sport. If the
entire schedule is rearranged the

SICNBOARDS GOVERNED
 BY LAW EN Al STATES

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Road- side advertising G.gns, considered by many as a menace to safe driv- ing, now are controlled by law in fl states.
 South Carolina, Arkansas, Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas and Wyoming are the only states without state regulations of com mercial signs and billboards.
 Control in states is widely di- versified, with some barring all signs from certain sections while others have wide limits within which the billboard operator and sign poster may function
 Connecticut, Massachusetts and Vermont have the most rigid laws. Before any agency can erect con- mercial advertising signs in these states, it must be licensed by state authorities at a certain annual fee or furnish bond if it is an out ofstate company.
 Advertising signs in Connecticut must not be placed within 15 feet of the right of way on any high way, and in Massachusetts within 800 feet.
 Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Me- braska, Nevada, North Carolina and Tennessee impose fees for ad- vertising signs. Mississippi col lects fee of 75 cents for each sign from 10 to 100 square feet of area; $1.50 for an area between 100 and 300 square feet and S2.50 for an area of more than 300 feet.
 Tennessee forbids erection of signs upon the right of way of any state highway, and prohibits erec- tion of signs resembling railroad crossing symbols on any public highway or street or on private property within one-quarter mile Of the road.
 In Florida the state road depart ment prohibits advertising signs on

performances, MT. Foster, who led the fight for the reduction, declared the rate proposed by MT Rothen- burgs bill would add $100,000 bien- nially to the cost of pensions. This was disputed by MT. Rothenburg who contended the peak had been reached insofar as the pioneers are concerned, as the death rate is mounting annually anu that the fu- ture appropriations steadily would become lower.
 Another amendment is still pend ing before the House which seeks to limit the allowances to persons arriving in the Territory not later than December 31, 1905. If this should be adopted, it will make the allowance system applicable only to those who are eligible to become members of the Pioneers of Alaska.
 Recommit Boxing Bill
 Mir. ziegler this morning stood eff the substitute offered by the Committee on Education for his boxing board bill, and succeeded in having the whole matter re-commit- ted to the Judiciary Committee to adjust several differences between the two drafts. He argued that the Committee substitute was mean ingless and would leave the boxing field wide open to abuses that in time would lead to it being closed down again.

 New Bills introduced
 Two joint memorials and six bills were introduced in the House this morning. A memorial by the Trans portation Committee urged the Postal authorities to establish a monthly mail service between Sand Point and Herendeen Bay. A me- morial addressed to Congress, in- troduced by MT. Mcdonald, urges the consideration and support of the proposed international high way from Seattle, through British Columbia and Yukon Territory to interior Alaska. MT. Mcdonald also introduced bill asking for an ap- propriation of $500 to be used in advertising the advantages of the proposed highway.
 The Committee on Transporta- tion introduced a measure for the licensing of airmen and aircraft largely similar to that recently in- troduced in the Senate. Two re- lief measures were introduced by the Ways and Means Committee

DAVENPORT, Neb., April a. A $1O.000 town library, a monument to tine pioneers who settled this small town, has been built by the Woman's Club of Davenport. The club, largely made up of the de- scendants of pioneers, took eight years to raise the money.
