ROACH
PROPOSES
BASEBALL LEAGUE Commercial Indoor Organization to Be Perfected by Y' Coach.
The Commercial Indoor Baseball league will be launched tomorrow evening at the Y. M. C A. At that time representatives of bIx or possibly eight of Richmond's leading factories will meet to complete the organization of the new league. Games will start on April 1, according to Coach Roach. Wayne Works, American SeedingMachine, National Tool, Pilot Motor Car. Robinson and the Reliance concerns will be in the circuit. These factories were the first to respond to the call for representative teams. It is possible that two teams will be added to the league. Non-members of the "Y" are eligible to enter the games. The only requirements of the players are thp they buy their own gymnasium shoes, bats and gloves for the games. The players will have the privilege of using the showers and the swimming pool after the games. There are fifteen playing dates on the schedule, each team playing ten games. This will make a team meet every other team in the rounds of the schedule. Games will be played two nights each week, and the playing periods will be two hours in length. After the weather permits, the indoor circuit will be transferred to the play grounds and outdoor ball will be in order. Roach hopes by means of the indoor game to stimulate interest for the outdoor game, at the same time giving the men good practice for the coming outdoor season.
Little New
Prosp
Light
ect For
ing System
Electric lights for tli e county infirmary are literally hanging in the balance and owing to delays on the part of the county council and county commissioners the matter is little further than it was three years ago, when the idea was first advanced. The commissioners again reconsidered the installation of lights to replace the kerosene lamps used at the poor farm but arrived at no decision today. The county council appropriated $1,400 to use to install lights at the poor farm, specifying that current shall be secured from the town of Centerville or the T. H. I. and E traction company or making limitations to that effect. The commissioners cannot spend more than $1,400. The wire to take the current into the farm will cost $1,000. Transformers, fixtures, meters and other incidentals will cost no less than $800 if the cheapest practical material is used.
CHARGES DEFECTIVE WORK 111 BUILDING
The commissioners received figures from the town officials in Centerville and find they must pay at the rate the Centerville patrons receive their electricity and must also purchase all the electricity that leaves Cenlerville through their wires, or in other words must pay for the electric current lost on the wires. The maintenance of the line would be entirely in the hands of the traction company linemen who would charge the upkeep cost to the county. , The installation-of a 150 light electric plant is favored and the commissioners say it could be installed for a slightly higher price than running the line from Centerville. They also believe the operating expense of the plant would be small. This cannot be done because of a stipulation, made by the county council when the $1,400 was appropriated. The commissioners will have the electric light matter up for a continued discussion at their next meeting.

STREET STORIES
"Talk abount merchants using every advertising medium possible," exclaimed a man about town today, "the latest I've seen or heard of is that used by a milkman. He is using one of the placards put out by the citizen's committee in this prohibition fight on his wagon. The sign reads, 'Vote dry for us.' " For Sale Five barrels, 100 pounds of excelsior, and 3 gallons of gasoline. This ad could be inserted by the officials of the Y. M. C. A. as these articles were found hidden in the rear of the association building. Sunday morning.
The discovery of this paraphernalia tells the story of a celebration that did not mature. A crowd of boys imbued with patriotic spirit, due to the showing made by the "Y" basketball team planned to show their appreciation of the team's victories. The plotters counted on the local team winning from the St. Mary's five and had everything in readiness for a big event. The barrels, excelsior and the gasoline were 'to have been the starter for a big bonfire. The sad termination of the game, however, halted thp proceedings and the owners of the material did not call for their property. W ill Heller, prosecutor, alia police officer, may be all rifiht in his former position, but his first experience in the latter role. Saturday night, resulted in a tearful failure. Late Saturday night Ki ller accosted a man near the Gennett theatre and escorted the offender to the Y. M. C. A. lobby. Here he went to telephone for the patrol and after summoning the police auto turned around, but to his surprise the man was gone. Empty handed the prosecutor repaired to his home and shortly after his arrival he was called to the phone. He answered the call and some one whom Reller recognized to be Mayor Robbons' voire, badly disguised, piped out : "Say, is that you Mr. Keller?'' "Yes," answered the attorney. "Well, this is the fellow you arrested a few minutes ago but you can't catch me now." Reller at this stage of the joke, "came to." "Well, it don't make any difference now. if I had taken you the mayor would have let you go free," chimed hack the prosecutor. TIia mayor hung up the receiver.
GREEN'S FORK, Ind., March 24 One of the oldest pioneers of WTayne county, Henry T. Bond, 87, died this morning at 9 o'clock at his home one and one-half miles south. of here.

SLEEPS SOUNDLY UNTIL AWAKENED TO BE KILLED
BOSTON, March 24. After sleeping soundly all night, up fifteen minutes before his execution, William A. Dorr was electrocuted in the Charleston state prison early today for the murder of George E. Marsh, a wealthy Lynn, Mass., manufacturer in April, 1912. As he was being strapped into the chair Dorr issued a warning to the youth of America to abstain from wrong doing even if they were positive they could avoid detection.

How will "Cap" Rogers, commander of "Wild Rover," remove his good ship from the waters of Morton Lake? Since the captain refused to comply with certain conditions demanded by the lake and park company and thpreby lost his contract, a contract Iihs neen signed with Richard Strohm, .1. S. Strohm of Dennison, 111., and John fiotschai, also of Dennison who will put on the lake an excursion boat with a capacity of fifty and several motor boats. Officials of Hip lake and park company say the Wild Rover must go. To leave it on the lake would be in violalion of the new contract signed. Captain Rogers says he will move the boat to Dayton by water but the Whitewater will not carry the steam boat now. He will probably dissemble the boat to remove it. The Strohm brothers and Mr. Gotschal have also secured the refreshment concessions and will erect a pavilion near the dam.

Ellis, who recently resigned the pastorate of the fashionable First Presbyterian church here.
