The baseball park east of the Bur
lington nassencrer station, on the
! river front which has Jpor years been
gradually groins to rack and ruin, has
at last a chance to be placed oacK
in at least a partial resemblance of
its former glory.
! The citv board has operated on a
very small margin of funds in the
i past vcar that would not even permit
anything like an adequate repair
of the park and in the past two years
the board has had no appropriation
for park use and has had to do some
real financing to get along in making
what progress they might in the park
system of the city. This has tied up
the hands of the city park board in
getting the ball park fixed up in prop
er shape.
The baseball team two years ago
on the grounds and Manager Swan-
son and his teammates had the place
In fair shape but high waters caused
by the heavy rains has played havoc
'with the work that was done and as
. the result left the park in a very
bad shape.
j The fence will have to be given an
entire going over, be strengthened
and on the west side have special
reinforcing again.-t the high water
'that follows each big rain as the re
sult of the floodwater from the city
sewers. In the work of repairing tha
baseball park the city park
'board and the streets alleys
jand bridges committee will have the
I assistance of C. S. Johnson, who has
taken a real interest in the ball park
and was one of the men who helped
j build up the park some eighteen
I years ago and who is anxious to see
; it placed iu the best oT shape for
' future use.
j The park is the only place of its
j kind in the city and is needed for
? ball games as well as the use of the
high school for their football games
and other atletic events and should
by all means be placed in the best
of shape for the coming year and be
kept in proper shape in the future.

John Zitka, the efficient member
of the street cleaning department of
the city, whose little two wheeled
cart i3 a familiar sight on the streets,
was the central figure of not a little
excitement on the main drag yester
day. John, in pursuit of the elusive
dust and dirt that gathers on the
street had backed his cart up in the
rear of a small truck and was In
dustriously sweeping when the
owner of the truck hurried out of a
store, Jumped in the truck and not
noticing tho cart of Mr. Zitka, started
to back up the truck and with the
result that the dump cart was very
much damaged and the feelings of Mr.
Zitka accordingly rilled up. What the
street cleaner thought of the incident
was very forcibly told and the ser
vices of Carl Kunsmann, the chairman
of the streets, alleys and bridges com
mute was required to get the matter
smoothed over. The city cart was fix

NEW BUICK AGENCY
"PILL your tank with Red Crown Ethyl Gaso-"
J- line and head for the hardest hill you know.
You will be surprised at the way you shoot up
the grade and at the absence of "knocking".
In slow traffic you'll find a more powerful pick
up and less need for gear shifting. Red Crown
Ethyl Gasoline gives every car new powers of
performance, in summer as in winter.
There's no magic about it and no doubt. The
power comes from quick-starting, clean-burning
Red Crown Gasoline. The addition of Ethyl
Brand of An ti-Knock Compound makes it possi
ble to use this power to better advantage because
the Ethyl makes Red Crown Gasoline bum
differently.
It develops a steadier push on the piston for the
full length of the power stroke. It prevents
knocks and vibration and much wear and tear
on the motor. The higher the compression
from carbon or any other cause the better
work Red Crown Ethyl Gasoline does.
Try a tankful of this new combination fuel in
your car. But he sure you get the genuine sold
only where you see the RED CROWN Ethyl
Gasoline sign on the silver pump.
For "noclless" operation avoid dilution.
Wait until your gasoline supply is low before
filling with Red Crown Ethyl Gasoline then
use Red Crown Ethyl Gasoline exclusively.
