ABOUT PROSPECT Interesting Items of Old Times in and Around the Village and Vicinity The writer passed through your city on August 30 1905, via Hocking Valley Railway to Fostoria, themes to Tiffin by the electric road returning the same way on Friday, September 1st, and most wonderfully surprised at the Improvements made in various parts of it, since he had last seen it in June 1899. It is really and truly a most beautiful place, and although but few of the older settlers are still with you, the younger portion are built in a way that will never let the city go backward as they are endowed with an eye to business which is always open. May your present prosperity always remain and abide with the pretty little city so cosily nestled upon the banks of the historic Scioto river.

CLIFF CURTIS Already Has Tempting Offer Since Being Released by Indianapolis Cliff Curtis, the American Association pitcher, who was released by Indianapolis, is at his home in Delaware. . His letting out came as a most welcome piece of news to the Delaware boy, and now he will probably have a chance to play with the team of his choice. Just where he will go next year he does not know. Joe Cantillon would like to have Cliff next season, but there is the Cleveland string that has never been cut. By next week Curtis will know just where he is located If Cleveland it is very probable that he will not sign with a team of the A. A. He had not been released a day before he had a tempting offer from an Ohio team of the big league. Curtis has not don himself justice this year on account of illness, and is at present eight pounds under weight. If Cleveland will let him go, he will sign with a manager who will get his best efforts. Cliff Curtis came down from Delaware Monday and it was the discovered that the Cleveland clubs intends to endeavor to hold his as its property. And it's likely that this can be done. Curtis has been ordered by that club to report back to Milwaukee. So it developes that the sale to Cantillion last winter wa not an outright one, as Joe has claimed. The Cleveland club paid $1500 for Curtis when he was secured from Fort Wayne, and Charley Somers does not mean to let that much coin get away, if possible. Hoosiers, who are here now, believe that Curtis would star with a leading team like Columbus. "He can't stand harsh treatment," said one, "and Jack Ryan would be just the man to catch him."
