SWAT FLY, WAR CRY TO RING OUT SOON Club Health Committee Will

; Consider Question , Street Oiling:. of .The appointment of a public health committee will be made next week by President Nicholson of the Commercial Club, and plans for the swat-the-fly campaign and other public health matters will be started at once. Secretary Haas said today. One of the questions the committee will consider is oil streets, since thd city administration has refused to take the responsibility of. paying delinquent oiling assessments. Mr. Haas said that unless the city can be prevailed upon to take the matter up again, the committee members probably will have to place petitions on every street which would be of a nature binding the petitioner to pay. "Swat the fly" will be made a popular slogan when the committee starts to work. - The "fly" will include mosquitos and insects of a damaging na- . ture which breed in the spring.

If I can't marry him here, I am going to take him to Logansport." They departed, the aged man making a gallant attempt with the young woman's elbow at corner crossings.

OPEN FUND CANVASS FOR CHINESE AGENT At a meeting of the directors of the Y. M. C. A. Jast night after the lecture by Fletcher S. Brockman, the plan of financing a Y. M. C. A. secretary to one of the larger cities of China, was taken up by the members for discussion. Members of the board refused to discuss what was done at the meeting today, other than to say that they hoped that it could be arranged in some way to send a man to China to assist in the work there. From another source however it was learned that it was decided to attempt to raise a subscription fund for that purpose, and today solicitors were trying to find someone to start the fund with $500. It is said that it would require a fund of from $800 to $1,000 for the salary of the man. It was rumored that should a fund be raised, a chance would be offered to Roderick Scott, 6on-in-law of President Kelly of Earlham college, to take the position. PROSPECT FOR CROPS RANDOLPH COUNTY.

Ban Welcomes Stars

Placed

wnoiesaie jumping to federals makes Johnson Uiange Atti- . tude as 0. B. Needs Players to Fill Holes in Ranks Created by Raids of Outlaws. By Frank G. Menke, Sporting Editor International News Service. , Quite a. number of our best known citizens are wondering what has become of that baseball blacklist. You remember it, don't you the one that Ban Johnson brought into being? Something like a year ago mebbe a trifle longer Ban, who was horribly provoked because some of his star athletes were jumping said, majestically thunderously : J 'Any player in organized baseball who jumped to the Federal League never, again will be permitted to play in Organized Baseball' - . ' ,

Them there were the words 'that Bancroft spoke to the multitude the very same words. Since then Well, Walt Johnson, a pitching per son, connected with Ban's organization, looped the r' loop, and "TClark Grif ith, hie bos, nearly busted his collar bone diving after Walt and, trying to save him for the American league. Did Ban say to Griffith; . . "Nix on taking back Walter' Johnson. Hes' blacklisted?" Ban Praises Manager. No, Ban didn't. Ban just said, "Brave," when Griff brough back Johnson. Slim Ray Caldwell,- pitcher . for the Yankees, jumped to the Feds. The new Yankee owners jumped him back and Ban, Instead of ordering the blacklist applied to Caldwell, welcomed his return. Pitchers Kahler and Blanding jumped from the Naps last spring. They experienced a change of heart. They wanted to go back to organized baseball. Did Ban say "nay, nay?" No, Ban said, "Welcome home, fellers welcome home." Ban probably was sincere when he first uttered that threat. But later events caused a change of mind. Baa figured at first that only a few players would jump, and that the bars could be put up against those fellows, and that organized baseball could get along very nicely without the deserters. But the whosesale sniping of the Federal sharpshooters caused Ban to change front. The Feds grabbed so many starts that it left a big gap in the ranks of organized baseball. There was just one way to plug up the gaps and that was to get back as many of the deserters as possible. And so, Ban is sanctioning the action that he ruled against just a year ago. GRADING OF EGGS BRINGS GOOD PRICE The seventh annual Purdue Egg Show will be held at Purdue University on May 4, 5 and 6. The show, which is under the direction of the agricultural students of the University is held for the purpose of encouraging the production of more and better eggs, and also to give an instructive exhibition of the best methods of sorting and packing eggs. From humble beginning, this show has grown to be an exhibition of state wide importance the number of eggs shown last year being nearly three hundred dozen. The tendency of the times in the egg production and marketing business is to pay more attention to the grading of eggs. The producer who understands how to select and . grade his eggs can demand a higher price for them than the man who sells all sizes, shapes, and ages of eggs in one lot The Purdue Egg Show is doing much to establish a uniform standard of grading eggs and thus is of service to the producer as well as to the buyer, packer and distributor. SCHEDULES 2 GAMES Two games have been scheduled by Vlgran's Reserves, who open the seaarm nt.TsTpw Pari a Anril IS. with the Grays as their opponents. On May 2 the Grays will come to Richmond for a return game at Ratlin park, mis win be the first game for the re-organized Vlgran's on the home lot, and it is the desire to the team, manager and followers that they dedicate the ground with a victory.

HERZOG TELLS WHY THE GIANTS LOST 1914 FLAG Giant supporters figure Hans Lobert as the one item of strength required to win for McOraw this year. Charley Herzog, of the Cincinnati Reds, wasn't , a bit backward last fall in pointing out the errors of his old boss. "If Mac had kept me at third and played Snodgrass and Murray in the outfield, he would have won his fourth straight flag," remarked the Rhineland leader recently. While Herzog'o remarks were just a wee bit immodest, they nevertheless carried a ring of truth. Stock did not begin to fill the shoes of the energetic Maryland star, and In no way did Bescher and Robertson improve over veterans like Snodgrass and Murray. Chas. E.

It is quite probable that the first

square on Sooth Fifth street will now be paved through the inauguration of new proceedings. The petition was referred to the engineer for plans mud specifications. Ask Concrete Paving. Mr. Zwissler declared the first square on South Fifth street was in a very bad condition, and there was so mucii heavy traffic on it that its paving was absolutely necessary. The idea shared by some members of the board that there is general opposition to permanent street Improvements got another jolt today when resident property owners of South West Seventh street between Main street and the National road petitioned for a concrete pavement for that block, also cement curbs and gutters. This was referred to the engineer. - A resolution for cement curbs and gutters on South Eighth street from H to J streets was adopted. Action was postponed on a resolution for the grading of the alley between South Seventh and Eighth streets from C to E streets, cement paving and a sanitary sewer.
