Agriculture was attractive to me as 1 entered this unknown city for the fitst time. Fertile lands surrounded it, the stretch of well improved farms the winding river with its tree border, the good highway oh which 1 traveled and the line of the little city made me feel 'hat here is a place good enough aud beautiful enough to live in. As I entered the city, there was an apparent cooperation of its home owners anti city officials in a “clean up ami keep clean’’ program. The Jawns were, in the main, rolled and free of weeds and rubbish- Houses were painted and in good physical condition. Flowers and plants were seen in abundance. Everywhere I looked, there were evidences of a determination to make this city clean and attractive. Many of the home-grounds bad been beautified at no little labor and expense. To a stranger, this city appeared to be a city of home owners. The face of this city looke<f*so good to me that I determined to visit its out of the way, “behind the ears’’ quarters so 1 drove through its alleys, side 8,1 vets and vacaht lot sections, and even in these places 1 noticed the contagion of clean up, beautfy aud afresh P'int at work to make a city beautiful. A recent campaign of weed cutting, old cans, bottles, and ash pile removals "as apparent in this city and it was reflected from the faces of its citizens who showed by their looks that they were produd of their own city, filially, 1 asked a man tlie name of this city and what was back of the I clean up and beautlflyiug program. He swelled up until one of his vest buttons gave way as he replied, “Why stranger, this is Decatur,St.he prettiest city on the map and the best city Io live in. "Our citizens, our city officials and our Woman’s Club program put on each year by its Civic Section have made it so." —— ■ - — COLLEGE BASEBALL At Lafayette— Illinois, 5; Purdue, 4.

The changes to the code were relatively unlmportaHj, consisting principally of alterations in the working of a few of the rules to make them easier of interpretation. The committee plans to aid officials in ruling upon the dribble and to discourage its use in certain situations. legislation was adopted to combat two phases of stalling but it was considered unwise to penalize or restrict “freezing of the ball’’ to protect a leadI To prevent a tall player from tapping the ball and catching it several times in succession thus keeping the ball out of play, it was voted that a jump ball, the same player may not tap the ball and catch it twice in succession. The second phase of stalling coverguarded player without hod Ing the ball from play. Such a player is to be considered as withholding the ball as making no apparent effort to put the I bal into play. Officials then will de- : dare the ball held. o ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥»¥♦¥ * WITH THE RIG * * LEAGUE STARS * ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥ Tris Speaker and Ty Cobb of the Athletics contributed a double apiece in the game with the Boston Red Sox.

Acting as a pinch-hitter, in bis first appearance of the year, Waiter Hen line tripled to center in the ninth inning, sending Statz and Dave Bancroft home to give the Robins a 3 to 2 victory over the Phillies. The Cleveland Indians made it twoall in their four game series with the St. Louis Browns by winning 7 to 3Earl Whitchill, Tiger’s Southpaw, held the White Sox scoreless for the first six innings to win 2 to 2.
