Though his title is that of assistant manager It is understood he reali is in full charge of the team and that Connie Muck hereafter will devote most of his time to business affairs of the club. Dav's Vftts Mack's right-hand man for ten years, then went to Cleveland for a brief period in 1912 and returned to Mack, remaining with him until the close of VJ17.

Davis will have as his lieutenant another veteran, Paddy Livingston, whose duty will be to coach the pitchers of the team. 1VE IX ON WILLIAM AT THE PASTIME TUESDAY AM) WEDNESDAY ASTDVip THEATRE Last Time Tonight Bessie In Her Very latest Picture "Tangled Threads" A picture every husband aiuf wife should see.

SHOOTING IN CITY LIMITS UNLAWFUL Definite complaint has been madf of illicit shooting i i a certain sectit of the city limits, I have consulted the mayor and i that persons discharging guns within the limits of our city render themselves liable to a i of $1.00 tc 100.0f). Moreover, the practice naturally associates itself with the destruction of bird Ufe, and at any rate the gun discharge tends to frighten our feathered friends. We cannot believe but that the majority of our city residents are a i for the protection of our birds and hope therefore a i courteous and friendly warning to desist from illegal action will be observed and thus pi-event any ther action.
