Added Testimony
Editor Recorder:

,
1t affords us great pleasure to
enclose you check for our bill OF
advertising in your valuable paper,
which has brought us good results
from your thriving little city, as
we'll as from the prosperous farmers
ia your county. and we trust in
1905 we NAV be able to increase
our business with all. Wishing
you prosperous new year, we re-
main, Very truly yours,
SHRECKHIsE & BEAR.
Staunton, Va.
Jan. 3, 1905.
The above letter is self-explana-
tory, and our purpose in publish
ing it will be quickly OWNED.
docs it pay to advertiser" is a
question which has been so often
answered and proven afirmat'vely
that it is no longer a debatab!e
question. Successful men, in every
line of business are emphatic in the
assertion that advertising not only
pays, but eminent success depends
upon it. This point, we repeat IS
settled. But the kind letter pub
lished above brings the matter
closer home, and appeals to the
business men of Staunton and
Monterey. 1t gives proof Of the
fact that it pays to advertise in the
Recorder. To us it is no revela-
ton, but we are grateful to these
gentlemen for the testimony, which
is all the more appreciated because
voluntary and unsolicited. Messrs
Shreckhise and Bear are among
the few Staunton firms that have
shown a willingness to work and
pay something for the Highland
trade--a trade which has been no
sp,all factor in the sum total OF
that thriving city's business dur
ing past years. As to our mer-
chants and business men, both
town and country, there is in this
letter food for thought, and they
should be able to digest it without
m uch "chewing" Oh our part. The
advertising done by our own peo-
pie in their home paper has been,
in a measure, generous, but the
patronage has not been Of char
acter to satisfy the Recorder or
stimulate trade to it's fullest extent.
If every business man in the coun-
tv would resolve to use the home
paper as medium through which
to reach the people, and a means
by which to increase his business,
the Recorder would be getting only
. what it deserves, in the relation
which it sustains, and larger re-
turns would be realized by the bus
mess public than from a like
amount spent in any other direc
ton.
:, It is often asserted, as a mere
, pretext, that advertisements are not
| read as general rule. We woult
not hesitate to stake our reputa
. ton upon the statement that jus
the reverse is true, and they arr
read at time and in manner cal
culated to impress the reader
more leisurly and thoughtfully
{ for in many instances the purpos
is born Of self-interest. Coul
S merchants hear the comment
$, around country fresides during th
II long rainy days, and know tn
number of bargains that are "spoi
" ted" there would be a generf
$ scramble for space in the Recordf
every week of the year.

THE COLLEGE AGREEMENT.

The Yale-Harvard athletic agree ment. made in 1903 for two years. will exnfre to-day. but the two universities will allow it to renew itself, it is said. The agreement is as follows:
 ''The universities herewith enter into an agreement for contests fin the four main branches of sport. football. base ball, rowing and track athletics. under the following conditions: The agree ment is 10 continue for two years and thereafter to continue for successive two year periods. except upon notice to the contrary by properly constituted authorities not less than six weeks be- fore the termination of the previous period of two years. The agreement is to take effect March 15. 19O3''
 Since the two year agreement was adopted, in 1908. Yale has won both annual football games. both Varsity eight cared races on the Thames. the dual track meets and the freshman boat races. Each university has won a four cared race and freshman foot ball game. Harvard has won both an. nual base ball series and three out of the four freshman base ball games. Yale has. therefore, captured three. fourths of the annual series.

THE DIAMOND.
NEW HAVEN
 AN ENIGMA
Danaher Still Has the Fans Cuessing-Crifith ofNew York Worried Over Chase Other Gossip.

Cornelius J. Danaher, owner of the New Haven base ball team, was in Hartford yesterday and was apparent ly interested in bih that has nothing to do with base ball. Just what the magnate is hanging back for is pug zling the sharps about the circuit It Is hinted in New Haven that Danaher has something up his sleeve which will pulverize O'Rourke when he gets ready to set it off. The New Haven manager has not given an inkling Of what his plans are, although it is known that he sent contracts to all ot his old players. New Haven people are getting nervous at the thought of going without base ball during the summer. It is not believed that the New Haven team will be brought to- gether in time for the usual exhibition games with Yale, which are usually looked forward to with interest by New Haven people.

MAY BREAK RELATIONS.
Pennsylvania Feels Hurt and May Cut
 Cornell.

Pennsylvania Feels Hurt and May Cut
 Cornell.
 Pennsylvania may not meet Cornell in the usual Thanksgiving day football game this year. It is this fact which has held up the Quakers' football schedule for such long time. Cornell has refused to enter crew in thc race for college junior eiyhts In the ".Ameri- cai. Henley." to be r0w".l on t. C Schuylkill on May ?, as the Itllacans will row junior race with Harvard at Lake Cayuga on that date. Two years ago Cornell failed to send an en try to the junior crew race on the Schuylkill, notwithstanding the fact that Pennsylvania the year previous had rowed at Ithaca, It was then said that this lack of courtesy might result in the breaking of of athletic relations with Cornell. but nothing came of it. and Pennsylvania again rowed on Lake Cayuga last year. A second af- front of the same nature seems like rubbing it in too hard, and the out come may be that Pennsylvania will alter the football schedule. substituting another eleven for Cornell on Thanks giving day. Cornell's athletics are practically supported by the receipts from the annual football game with Pennsylvania. and it is apparent that the Red and Blue authorities intend to make the most of this fact should Pennsylvania drop Cornell from the football schedule the Carlisle Indians would probably receive the Thanksgiv- ing day date. which would he mat ter of profit for the red men.

CAMEL NAILED DOWN.

Griffith says that Ganzel will have to play with the New York Americans or not at all and that he will not be traded under any circumstances. This means that Ganzel, if he manages the Grand Rapids team. cannot direct his players from the bench. but will have to sit in the grand stand. Last year he was permitted to umpire many games fin New York on Sundays and also to play fin such games for sums ranging 'lom s25 to S1O0 a game. In that way Ganzel picked up about $500 over and above his salary. When it comes down to actual cases. Ganzel will hardly refuse to play with New York when he knows that more than 5000 can be picked LID. Playing base ball for salary and backing ball club with small bank roll are two very different propositions.

The Chicago Athletic association will offer a s1.O0O trophy for the next annual tournament of the Ma tional Association of Amateur Bill Hard Players if the deed of gift for the Eagle gold cup is so changed that a player may secure permanent pos session after two victories.
 Townsend. Foss. Gardner. sPoggcn- burg and Conklin have each won one leg on the cup. and there is little Dos sibility that either can secure it by three victories. as at present provid- ed. If the conditions are changed to two victories the final disposition will probably be made in the next tourney. when the new trophy will take it's place.

YALE wlN RELAYS
Annual Winter Games Held In New
 York Last sNiiht.

The New York Athletic clubs an nual winter games in Madison square garden last night came within an inch of being marred by shocking fatal ity.
 While NJ. Hornidge, of the St Bar thOl0mew's Athletic club, was clearing the bar ten feet in the air during the pole vault, his prop snapped in two beneath him and he fell with crash to the floor, the jagged end of his broken pole just missing his heart as he came down. Several deaths are recorded in athletic annals from just such accidents.
 As spectacle, the Mercury Foot carnival was great. success. The cir cle of boxes, crowded with gorgeously hedecked feminity, formed a most charming frame for the board floor arena, whereon the finely muscled ath- letes struggled for the plaudits of the fair ones and incidentally the, medals
 All the officials were resplendent in H. Sherrill, of the New York A. C., was the referee, while President John R. Van Wormer occupied d box at the finish line. Barlow s. Weeks and James E. Sullivan were among the judges, while the ever genial Evart Jamisen Wendell and Mort Bishop as sisted Bohb S+"ll in the timing. Fred Wells and Charlie Kintner old-ti''' water polo stars, lent additional light to the garden atmosphere by parading up and down the center with their highly polished silk bonnets. Count Giannini looked every inch a noble man. while Mat Halpin was busy ev- anywhere. He was really the only man besides the athletes who worked, but all the rest certainly looked fine.
 Mike Murphy had all his Yale run ners in fine shape and the quartettc of half-mjlers beat the Cornell four over sixty yards in the two-mile event. Tn the one mile college relay, the Yale four ran away from Columbia, winning in 3:34 2-5, with the Morningside boys five seconds back.
 The final of the 3OO-yard race was fine as q rough house, for on the first turn three men filed off part of the floor paint and on the second turn a couple of more runners scraped off NldJ WuS lClls
 While the chesty flock of dub shot putters were straining every muscle to come within few yards of Goes record, old Harry Buermeyer upset the Oslir theory by nonchalantly send ing the missile back farther than it had come from any of the latter day Sam sons.
 The ish-American Athletic club team won the two-mile relay race from the St Bartholomew's A. c. in 7.5O 4-5.
 The most exciting race of the night was the one and half mile run. F. Nebrick, the crack Buffalo boy, was on scratch and conceded starts up to 15O yards to a big field. Four laps from home he electrified the assem- blaze by a grand sprint into the lead, which he maintained almost to the fin ish. But, right on the tape, w. G. Frank. 20 yards. nipped him and won out by six inches. N. Armstrong. of Yale, with 10O-yard start. was third. The time was : minutes flat.

YACHT SONIA LAUNCHED.

Herreshoff 52.Rater to Race Against
 British Boats.
 The new 52-rater Sonya, built by Herreshofr for Mrs G. Turner Farley. was launched yesterday at Bristol. The boat is beautifully modelled and Captain Stokes, who is to race her against the British yachts, is enthus- iastic about her. She will be rigged and in about two weeks will have her trial spins. Her spars and sails are all ready. Then the boat will be dis mantled and shipped to the other side. She will meet a new boat by Alfred Mylne, which, according to reports. is an improved Moyana, boat that proved to be very fast and the top of her class. The meeting of the new Mylne boat and the HerreshOff craft will be watched with much interest, because these two designers are likely to turn out the challenger and defend CT in the next series of races for the Americas cup.

FL1RTs WITH AMERICANS.

Montgomery, Ala, March 15.-A long suffering man is Manager Grifitth or the New York Americans, but he was a pretty sore man yesterday morning. His California first baseman, Hal Chase, did not get in as was expected. Instead he has not even started. A telegram came from him yesterday from Los Angeles, in which he said he intended to play in Los Angeles if possible. He also went on to say that he would come on and join the New Works, but that James Morley, owner of the Los Angeles club, said he could hold him.
 The last clause of the telegram Is the milk in the cocoanut. Griffith says Morley wants to keep Chase and that he mas been deluding the young man into the belief that he can be retained. Pitcher Newton says that Morley tried to persuade him (Newton) to stay in California only few days be- fore he came east. "He told me-" says Newton. that I would have my trip for nothing and that he could hold me-" Newton was less gullible than Chase. Chase and Newton were drafted by the New York Americans last season and the Los Angeles club registered an objection of some sort The national commission decided that the Los Angeles club had no case, but Morley, it appears, is still trying to hold at least one of the two men. Only a few days ago S2OO advance money WAS sent to Chase by, the Now York c1uB and he called for the railroad ticket to Montgomery which the New York club had sent him.
 Griffith yesterday telegraphed Ban Johnson about the matter in order that the American league president may see to it that Chase leaves Los Angeles and reports to the New York club, to which he belongs. "Chase has not chance to play with any other club" Griff declares. As Chase has been playing ball this spring. he ought to be in good condition when he does report. but that does not make Griffith any the less indignant over what he. considers tampering with his rights.
 Griffith expects the matter to he strengthened out in a few days. Last night he received telegram from Ban SohnsOn's secretary. which read: 1 "Matter has been nut before na- tional commission. Will advise you"
 The practice work yesterday went merrilv on. Fast work was done. The infielders took their positions and practised for to-day's game with Montpomerv. As Elberfeld is still an absentee. Joe Yeacer will cover short. Anderson will be on first base. Orth, Fultz and Holvcrnss in the outfield. and Clarkson, Whitley and Duff the batteries.

OWNER OF AFRICANDER.

Charley Dwyer, who owned Afri- cander two years ago. has arrived in New Orleans from California. Young Dwyer attended the Los Angeles meet. ing the greater part of the winter. but for the past few weeks he has been visiting the Catalina Islands. When he left New York last fall he had dis posed of all his interests in his former racing stable. and in spite of the fact that his uncle. Philip J. Dwyer. has taken him into partnership in stable this year. the young man has received no authentic information to this effect except what he has read in the news papers. He will come east in a few days to make preparations for the coming season.
