BAVIS TO HELP BOYTOWN GET PLAYGROUNDS

' Plans have been outlined by Alfred Bavis whereby the first resolution of the Richmond Boytown government t may become a reality. Last night the establishment of a playground was under discussion.

Some wanted the first one established at the Starr playgrounds, others wanted it on the West Side, a few wanted it at Glen Miller park, and, others wanted it in the south end. After the meeting last night, the president of the board of public works said that if the boys would agree upon some location and present a resolution to the senior council, it might be possible for the' res. olution to be voted upon favorably". The necessary money would be taken from the park fund and the upkeep could be paid from the playground fund which the city gives to the schools each year. i Mayor Robbtns suggested last night that County and City Treasurer Chamness be asked to appoint a treas'rer and tho suggestion was taken under advisement.

WTith Field Marshal von Hlndenburg now in supreme command of the German and Austro-Hungarian armies in Poland and Galicia, the Teutons are struggling with renewed desperation to stem the Russian advance on Kovel, Vladimir, Volynski, Sokal and Lemberg.

The Russians are within artillery range of the defense of the German base at Kovel, but they have been hampered in getting their big guns to the front by the bad condition of the roads and the floooded rivers.

DIXIELAND MEMBERS IN WRECK; FDRD SMASHED, OCCUPANTS SAVED

Residents in the vicinity of Eighteenth and South A streets last night at about 11 o'clock were treated to a feature act not on the program of the carnival Dixieland show, which furnished the principals for an animated scene in which a Ford touring car. ! carrying eight persons, all colored, was the only thing damaged. According to members of the Elmer Eggemeyer, John Hawekotte and Eugene Price families, who happened to have balcony (front porch) seats for the performance, the combination Barney Oldfield and Lincoln Beachey act put on by the Dixieland party was by far more thrilling, albeit more dangerous than any of the attractions offered by the Druids at the Gilbert lot this week. The accident happened when the driver of the Ford car, carrying its

Who wrote "Casey at the Bat?" Again the question is being raised, with the filming of the immortal verse as a Triangle-De Wolf Hopper picture play. The rival claimants to the honor are Earnest L. Thayer, of Nonlhoff. Cal., and George Whitfield D'Vys, of Cambridge, Mass. Statements were recently obtained from each of them and also from De Wolf Hopper, who has recited the poem more times than there are base hits in Ty Cobb's batting record. Says Hopper: "As surely as I love my child, 'Casey at the Bat' was written by Earnest L Thayer. "I saw the poem in the San Francisco Examiner in 1884. It was signed 'E. L. T.' For three years I sought to find out who 'E. L. T.' was. Finally I found that the initials stood for Earnest L. Thayer, and on making his acquaintance I discovered that he had written many other clever bits of verse. "There have been many claimants besides Mr. D'Vys to the authorship of 'Casey.' I have investigated gome of them, and the more I investigated the more certain I felt of Mr. Thayer's authorship." Says D'Vys: "As I hope to meet my blessed mother in heaven, I wrote 'Casey at the Bat.' "Mike Kelly was my hero in the baseball days of 1SS6. On the afternoon of August 8 Boston beat Chicago 4 to 3. Kelly, Chicago catcher and famous slugger, had struck out at a critical moment I felt mighty 6orry for him, and so did lots of others who had seen the game. It was that evening that I wroto 'Casey at the Bat.' "I wrote the 'Mudville Ballads' long before 'Casey.' Mudville was a part of Cambridge. But let Mr. Thayer claim fhe authorship, if he wants to, and let Mr. Hopper believe what he likes. I am tired of the controversy." Says Thayer: "Once and for all time and for the very last time I WROTE 'CASEY AT i THE BAT.' i "All I care to say about the claim of j Mr. D'Vys to the authorship of the verse is that he must be suffering from i a delusion. I have been annoyed to death about the authorship. The eon-i troversy has been the bane of my ex! istence. I wrote the poem, and there j are many people ivho know that I did I As to what others may think, or anj I one else may claim, I do not care."

f. .' 4 full quota of passengers and three extra, failed to notice the abrupt termination of South A 6treet. Not until he was a few feet of the curb, eye witnesses etate, did the driver note that he was about to 6teer bis party up into the front lawn of the Eugene Price property. According to Elmer Eggemeyer, who vouches the driver could easily qualify for the Speedway classic, the machine did its best to get around the sharp curve. A series of agonized yells, a "good night Lizzie," sung out by one of the party, a crash, a rattle and a thud and the Ford and its contents were on the front lawns of the Hawekotte and Price homes. Eye witnesses who had experienced visions of ambulances and medical attendants were happy when the party, after a minute of silence, sent forth a vigorous volley of laughter. Ttf machine, or its parts rather, was left where it or they landed. CLEMENCY APPEAL ARRIVES TOO LATE WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. The state department was notified this afternoon that the senate resolutions urging the British to use clemency in dealing with Irish political prisoners which was meant to be a plea for Roger Casement, was delivered to the British foreign office just one hour after Casement had been executed. BARS SICK BABIES Mothers of really sick babies hare been advised to keep their children away from the Baby Welfare conference held every Thursday afternoon by Miss Lillian Mahin, city visiting nurse.. Miss Mahin has done this to protect the other babies who are brought here. She will gladly call at the homes of the sick babies and give them the Bame or even better care than she would be able to do at the school. CHILD LABOR BILL FOUGHT BY SOUTH WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. Southern senators led by Hardwick of Georgia, today opened a vigorous assault on the child labor bill, charging that it would be unconstitutional. Senator Hardwick asserted that "he was just as anxious to see real child labor laws as any one, but denies the right of the government to interfere in the purely local condition." "The law of Georgia," he said, "is more just than the law proposed by the national law makers. For the motive of this bill I have the highest respect. For their judgment, none." FORMER PUPILS MEET.
