BASEBALL NEWS.
COMMUNICATED
ED. CLARION:

ED. CLARION:
In reply to communication of CHAIR
man. in last week s issue of The CLAIR
ION, "X" again asserts that the charges
which chairman" denies can be proven
by his own statements made to one Of
the baseball officials. In his attempt to
secure control of the game he made the
bold statement that as he found others
crooked he would use the some tactics.
What motto: attain success, if not
by straight, forward dealings, then by
crooked dealings" Therefore it was not
surprising to those who know these facts
to read a denial of the charges. Young
man, you suggest dropping this matter
for the good of the baseball season Of
1908. For the good of yourself and in
order to stop criticism which is being
heaped upon you, you had better drop it.
And the Baseball Enthusiast" who is
so exceedingly witty and always follows
up with such eloquent language, seeming
ly placing the cap stone and finishing
touch on what has already been said
seems to have gotten in cobwebs with his
forerunner. He states the lineup was
made without the assistance of the man.
ayers, while Chairman" states same
was made by the captain. Now, the
managers and captain were as one when
it came to arranging the different details
for game. Chairman" and Baseball
Enthusiast" you are in too close touch
one with the other to make such conflict
ing statements.
Now this is final with me unless am
compelled or solicited to furnish "amuse-
ment" for chairman. The baseball
season of 1907 was a very pleasant one
until Chairman" tried to put himself to
the front, but we can forget that and
remember only the pleasant features.

FAVORS TROLLEYS.

con several occasions lately The Chron-
icle has been asked to express an opinion
concerning the advantages or disadvant-
ages that could arise from trolley line
connecting Emmitsburg with Frederick
and other points. The Chronicle well
comes the invitation and takes pleasure
in stating it's position.
'First of all let it be distinctly under
stood that The Chronicle believes in troll
leys, that it is unequivocally in favor of
them, that it will heartily welcome as
many trolleys as may be built to connect
this place with other towns and cities,
and that nothing can change the opinion
of this paper in this respect. 1t is an
undisputed fact that trolleys have been
the making of towns like Emmitsburg,
and statistics prove that they have
brought prosperity to every town and
village to which and through which they
have been laid. People the country over
who are blessed by having trolleys near
at hand, are unstinted in their praises of
what these roads have done for them and
for the territory which they have ira
versed.
But argument seems unnecessary when
positive proof is near at hand. Let those
who are skeptical-if such there can be
in this vicinity, and The Chronicle can
not conceive of any one being opposed to
them-let them visit any city or town in
this or other States where trolleys abound.
Let them gather statistics for themselves,
let them see the expansion, the rapid de-
velopments, the wonderful improvements
which rthe trolleys alone have brought
about. Then will there be no talk ex-
cept in favor of these valuable and indis-
pensable aids to progress. Then will
they be eager, positively impatient, for
trolleys to enter Emmitsburg and to
honeycomb this entire section of the
county. Want them? This town is pos
itively suffering in consequence of the
lack of them. Come they must and come,
