Two Offers to
Provide Signs
Reach Herald
Civic Pride Expected
to Put Across
Plan
Klamath Falls can fjet its
much-needed street signs
within a short time if a few
more citizens will display
the same progressive spirit
and civic pride as R. von
Bcrthclsdorf, a painter of
1810 Melrose, and Jack
Knowlcs of the Concrete
Pipe company.
Mr. von Berthelsdorf to
day informed the Evening
Herald that he will donate
his services as u painter for
three days or more if the
movement to supply thesa
signs is given the proper im
petus. Mr. Knowlcs also came
forward with an offer to put
in street signs on all 'new
sidewalks which are built
during the present summer.
There will be a considerable
amount of street improve
ment during the next few
months, and this offer will
aid materially in giving the
city its needed street guides.
"1 believe it should be in
the interest of every tax
paying inhabitant, not alone
carpenters and painters, to
help put up these long need
ed signs," Mr. von Berthels
dorf told the Herald.
In nn editorial yesterday
the Herald suggested it
might bo possibla to have
one or more of the lumber
companies donate the need
ed lumber for the signs, and
then prophesied that if this
were done there could easily
be found enough carpenters
and painters who would
glodly donate their services.
' What do the carpenters
think of the plan? And a
few more painters, too?
Those who would be willing
to donate their services for
a day or even a part of a
day are asked to send their
names and addresses to the
Herald.
Members of the city coun
cil say the city cannot af
ford to build and erect thess
signs. Let's see if civic
pride can't come to the res
cue and put it across?

DIRECTORS TO MEET
Players Against " Present
Manager Bad Handling
of Men is Charged
Dissatisfaction of the gen
eral public and baseball
players has led to a decision
to call a meeting the latter
part of this week for the
purpose of "firing" Fred
Glover as manager of the
Klamath Falls baseball
team. -
Unofficially, the players,
the fans and several of the
directors have put their
heads together and decided
that the time had come
when something should be
done toward securing com
petent leadership of the
Pelican nine. . It was felt
that with Klamath Falls in
second place, and within
close striking distance of
the pennant with five games
yet to play, that reorganiza
tion should take place and
the baseball team placed on
an even keel. !'"
; Waiting for (ilover ,
Were it aol U'or We absence of
Glover, the board of directors meet
ing would be held immediately, kt
was said UjM afternoon. -Bat those
who are sponsoring the move to oust
Glover, felt tha-t.. It .would be bet
ter to wait till his return. In order
th'it he nr:ght i;ave .his say at .the
meeting. Glover will return to
Klamth Falli Fr.'da'y and tho di
rectors, will convene either Saturday
or as Is more probable on thu
Monday following Sunday's, game.
It 'was tho Mohlor-Arnold "Bob
ble" that was the straw which
broke the camel's buck. Mohler with
seven sttike-outs to tils credit, in
the Weed game, and with the bales
full owing to toe errors f his
team m'otes, was 'yanked and Ar
nold put In his place. '

.How a mauagor could pull n

what the players couitl not mudcr
