NEWS NUGGETS

That great American pastime, the well known game of baseball, numbers fanatical followers by the millions: throughout . this country, f and quite a few foreign lands, butl there are in Richmond quite 'a few people

who keep awake at nights dreading the formal opening of the "Vacant Lot

League" season in this city; judging

from the number of. complaints, so far on file at police headquarters against

future Cobbs and Walter Johnsons. An exciting contest on a vacant lot in the south end was broken up yesterday with the game a tie in the ninth inning, . with the Demon Sluggerss' star swatsmith at bat and a runner on third, by the untimely advent of a bluecoat, summoned by an indignant housewife after one of the windows in her home had been shattered by a mighty homerun delivered in an early inning. It is reported, however,, that ttie game was resumed a few minutes laVr after the broad back of the officer had disappeared around the corner. Whether the star swatsmith of the Demon Sluggers delivered the necessary swat is an untold story. Because a juvenile east end team had a weak pitcher in the box yesbatered shaU'bunrmwbo terday, the opposing nine almost battered down the side of a house in the vicinity of the battleground, and the occupants of the residence promptly filed indignant protests with police

headquarters

Some streets of the city yesterday were almost . impassable because of boys playing the time-honored game of "one old cat," and the police were busy breaking up these contests. "Kids will play, and it's a shame to make them stop . playing a fine game like baseball, but we have to do it frequently," said Chief Goodwin today. "What Richmond needs is more playgrounds. Baseball is as necessary for boys as beefsteak, and they ought to have places in all parts of the city where they can play it to their hearts' content."

' .

Mr. Jones will communicate with the

superintendents of Hancoc. Henry Fayette, Union, Franklin, Rush and

Shelby counties at once relative to a meeting in Richmond, probably the second Saturday in May. The object of the meeting will be to exchange Ideas on road work, plan out new methods, discuss Indiana's

road situation and road laws and tor

lay the foundation for. a state organization. - , A half-hearted attempt attempt at a state meeting was made by the superintendent of road in Jay county, who wanted other superintendents to meet in Indianapolis April 7.
