The Cubs are finding things alto
gether too easy and are trimming
everything that comes along regularly.
In fact, the Chicago bunch are so far
ahead OF other teams in class that it
is likely TO be a runaway race and the
fans are already losing interest in the
National league race. The Phillies
blew into town yesterday and were
trimmed by score of to 2, although
they got one more hit than did the
home team. Lundgren was in the box
and only in one inning did he show
any signs of going up in the air. In
every inning the visitors got man
on base. but only in the eighth. when
several passes and a couple OF sacri-
fees made it look as though there
would be something doing. but Lundy
settled down and il was all over in a
few moments. Chick Fraser is likely
to pitch this afternoon against Pittin-
ger or Corridor for the Phillies.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK AS
SEEN BY THE MEN
Concensus of Opinion Seems to BE That
Barre Has Had a4Good Year and
Better One Is Promised.

Local business conditions as seen by
the men in the granite sheds are told by
the two Barre correspondents Of the
Granite Cutters Journal for January,
which Is just published A. M Smith,
writing for the cutters, says:
AS far as work has been concerned
we have no cause to complain, for the
year that il ended has been the most
prosperous here in the history 81 the
granite trade. Business il little dull
in the meantime. and the majority Of
the plants are shut down for the holi-
days, but we expect TO see the most
of them running full blast in a short
time. As fur as I can ascertain the
prospect for spring work ID fairly good
True, we ha3e from 100 to 200 cutters
ioafing, but that is not very large
number at this season, when you take
into consideration the fact that our
branch membership numbers 1000 or
over
James r. Much, writing for the tool
sharpeners, reports business Is prac-
tically at standstill, at this time Of
making the report, as most Of the sheds
have shut down for week or ten days
fur New Years holidays. After the
opening up again expect things will
begin and boom again. for there Is
plenty Of work in the hands Of the
manufacturers, and several Of them
would employ more hands If they could
get the rough stock We have a few Of
our members who have not got employ
ment, but we never had 50 many on
cur books as we have at present, and
Of course it is not expected that steady
employment could be found for larger
number during the winter than can be
employed IN the SIMMER season. But

complain Of during this winter, as far
as it has gone, and 1 think things will
