nREYFUss HoT AIR.

.'The reason for our poor showing so far this season is because the men are not in shape" said Barney Dreyfuss, president of the Pittsburg base ball club yesterday. And the reason tAe men are not ill shape is because we had so little good training weather at Hot Springs and So little after we got back and since the season opened Where other teams had good weather in the south, we had only six good playing days. Last year we had more good weather than any other team. This year it was our turn to get bad weather. In the last ten days we struck rain for week. But We are not making excuses, and We are not asking for or entitled to any sympathy. We will win the pennant this year just the same

The South's Prosperity.

Bradstreets report of bank clearings
for the week ending April 18th IS espe-
cially interesting to Southerners. 1t
shows that in every Northern city there
was n decrease ranging all the way
from 1.3 per cent. in Boston to 22.2 per
cent. in New York. On tho other hand,
with few exceptions the Southern cities
show decided Increase. The report
from these cities shows an increase for
New Orleans Of % per cent, louisville
rer cent, Memphis 10 per cent, Rich
mond 10 per cent, Savannah y per cent.
Fort Worth . per cent, Atlanta 10 per
cont, Nashville per cent, Norfolk II
per cent. Knoxville i per cent, Little
Rock, per cent. Macon 81 per cent
Jacksonville Ill per cent. and Charleston
II per cent.
This is not an unusual report. For
long timo past the Southern cities have
generally shown an increase In their
bank clearings over the same period last
year which means that the business OF
the South has been increasing, while there
has been more or less of setback IN
other sections. That the South should
make such an exhibit in presidential
year is indeed, noteworthy. But the
South is a remarkable section and its
development is not to DO hindered by
political agitation in the country at
large.
