PRELIMINARY CAMPAIGN
Addison County Agricultural So
ciety Already Planning For
|. It's Sixty-third Annual Fair
On August 81, %,
90 and 3Oth.
Race Purses Increased. Middlebury to be
Included in Racing Circuit With
Rutland. Sandy Hill and
Fort Edward.

Secretary Fred l.. Hamilton of the
Addison County Agricultural society is
already busy with the preliminary CAM
paign for the sixty-third annual meeting
of the society, which will be held on
August 81, 2S, 90 and Both. He has
completed arrangements with Rutland,
Sandy Hill and Fort Edward track as
sociations so that the dates of the big
Addison County fair will not conflict
with those of the above named places.
This means that Middlebury is now in
cluded in the circuit with these cities
and towns and as the board of directors
have added an extra thousand dollars to
the purse list the race events this year
ought surely to eclipse all previous
meetings. The much.talked-about State
fair will in no way detract attractions,
attendance or horses and horsemen from
the Addison, County fair.
Secretary Hamilton announces that in
the revision of the premium list several
very generous additions have been made
in Several classes. Probably the best
drawing card that any fair association
could ask for belongs for all time to the
Addison County Agricultural society. 1t
is the $780, 900 Morgan horse breeding es-

SCHOOL MEETING.
Prude n tiaI Com m ittee Re- Elected.
Tax of 55 Cents Voted.

The annual meeting of school district
No. 4 was held at the town hall Tuesday
evening. John E. Weeks was reelected
moderator and Joseph NJ. Burke, district
clerk. Reports were accepted including
a supplementary report by DR.. Martin of
the prudential committee showing the
total reduction in the Indebtedness the
past year to have been $1,027.67. On
motion of Charles E. Pinney tax of 55
cents on the dollar was voted and the
article in regard to paying any of the
outstanding Indebtedness was laid on the
table as having been provided for in the
foregoing vote.
The prudential committee was re-
elected as follows l. H. LaFleur, j. d.
Shannon, d. c. Noble, Allan Calhoun
and E. II. Martin, G. E. Pinney was
elected treasurer and A. X. Carr, auditor.
On motion of William Jackson a hearty
vote of thanka was given the prudential
committee for its good work of the past
year.
In view of the substantial reduction in
the debt of the district and the general
condition of school matters this vote of
thanks was truly merited and the way
it was given could leave no doubt as to
the sincerity of the voters.

tabishment that through the generosity
of Joseph Battell is to be located here
at Wey bridge.
Nine out Of ten horsemen and every
admirer of horseflesh that visits our fair
next August will want to make side
trip of one hour to visit the L. S. breed
ing establishment. There will be the
finest specimens of Morgan horses and
mares that can be found. The attrac-
tions on the fair grounds this year will
be entirely different.
With four hotels in town in addition to
the Inside Inn" the accommodations
for feeding and housing the thousands
who attend the coming fair will be am
pie The exhibit of live stock this sea-
son will certainly eclipse that of past
seasons as already many intending ex-
hibitors are planning their exhibits this
early in the season.
The visitor at the fair grounds this
season will see many Improvements over
those of last season including the palatial
training barn and quarters OF John Por-
ter. Then the track has received a large
amount of work and it ought to be a
faster track than heretofore as the sys-
tenn of drainage has been materially i'm
proved.

MORE MONEY!.
Canning Company Needs Funds to
Properly Finance New Venture.

A meeting of the stockholders of the
Middlebury Preserving company was
held in this village Tuesday afternoon at
which the committee appointed to visit
various plants in the State of New York
made report, stating that Middlebury is
as favorable location for a canning in
dustry as any seen by them, and better
for certain products. 1t appeared, how
ever, that more capital is needed and
that it is now late in the season to pro-
cure machinery and products. Those
present were unanimously of the opinion
that the project of locating a canning
factory here be pushed for next year,
and it was finally voted to leave the mat
ter of additional subscriptions, location
and purchase of equipment with the di-
rectors, consisting of j. E. Buttolph, j.
H. Stewart and j. A. James.

Brief History of the
TWo Major Leagues
Only Two Cities That Have Held
Membership Continuously In Ma
tional Since Its Organization.

Since its inception I'm 1876 there
have been 22 cities to hold member
ship at one time or another in the
National league. Chicago and Bos
ton were charter members of the
National league and they are the
only two that have held membership
continuously since 1876 They have
been in every National league race
and between them have won almost
as many pennants as all the other
cities put together, The Bostons In
80 years have won eight pennants.
In 1906 they finished last for the first
time. The Chicagos have won seven
pennants and finished last but once.
That once was in 1877, when there
were only five clubs in the National
league. The list of cities that have
been National league members is as
follows: Chicago, Hartford, st. Louis,
Boston, Louisville, Philadelphia, Gin.
clnnati, Providence, indianapolis. Mil.
waukee Buffalo, Syracuse, Cleveland
Troy, Worcester, Detroit, Kansas City
Washington, Pittsburg, Brooklyn, Bal
timore and New York. The circuit
has ranged in size from five cities
to ~.
The cities that have been compon
ent parts of the American league In
the seven years of its existence are
Chicago, Milwaukee, Indianapolis, De
troit, Kansas City, Cleveland, Buffalo
Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Baltimore
ST. Louis, Boston and New York
Boston and Philadelphia have each
won the pennant twice and Chicago
three times. Tailenders in the Amer
ican league have been St Louis, once
Milwaukee, once; Minneapolis, once:
Boston, once; Baltimore, once, and
Washington, twice. All American
league circuits have been of eight
clubs. All of the championship per
centages have been inthe COOS, show
ing the even strength of the organiza
tion. Only Chicago and Boston
have won pennants in both leagues
or present big league cities Cleveland
Washington and St. Louis have moi
won a pennant in either major organ
ization. Washington, st. Louis anC
Boston are the only cities that have
finished last in both the American

Squeeze Play Is Minor
Detail of Modern Game
Considered Good Style Only Under
conditions-Hit and Run Meth.
cd Is Foundation.

The squeeze style of attack now Is
for the batsman or the coacher to sig
nal the runner on third to come I'm on
a certain ball pitched. II may be the
first second. or third. It's mp to the
gent at the plate then to tap the ball
to the infield and so pave the way for
a certain run.
This Is all fine and lovely as long as
the slabman isn't wise and keeps EN-
over the platter, AS matter of fact
however. the hurler always has a good
chance of drawing the proper hunch
when this play is coming, and all that
Is left for him to do is to shy the ball
few feet to the side. The runner is
then doomed being.
II would be a good deal better to
put the base runner on third wise to
the fact that the squeeze Is coming
but not on any certain ball. He could
then get ready for a lead, while the
batsman picked out one TO his liking
Any sort of bunt down the third or
first base line will send a fast man
home, and the squeeze at It's best isn't
a healthy play for slow base runner
to figure in. There might be few
more people nipped at the plate by
this method, but the danger of having
the slabman outguess the batter
would be eliminated As It stands,
there isn't a chance when the pitcher
shoves one too far away from the man
at bat to even foul.
The squeeze, however, is a minor
detail Of team play. Without any
doubt, the best single element Of ma.
chine work Is the old reliable hit and
run.
To bring home the best results,
you've got to mix 'em up It's the
team which sacrifices its base runner
along one time, uses the hit and run
the next and springs a clean steal for
change, that keeps the other peo.
pie guessing. No brand of team play
IS any good that works by a set sys-
TEN. It's the people who keep their
eyes open watch every chance, work
together, and think and act quickly
that deliver the largest bundle Of Sc
lect goods. Thieves no great task in
landing base runner on first. The
main point is TO work him around
home against first class pitching
There are an awful lot Of sensible
chances in ball game, and quite a
batch of foolish ones. And It's the
team which figures where the risk is
due that gets yaiue received for itl
base hits.
