EQUITY GROWERS
HAVE MADE SALE
Of the Ohio County Tobacco
North of Greek.
Growers of Eastern DavieSS
Have Sold Through Home
Company.
The greensboro Messenger says:


Considerable quantities of Equity
tobacco in the Green River district
have,it appears, been sold 10 Owens
boro buyers under the Home ware
house system during the past two
days The tobacco which has been
sold is that of the 1907 crop held by
organization growers in the northern
portion of Ohio county and, proba-
bly,, In the Whitesville section of Da
viess county.
Following the meeting of the Equi-
ty farmers OF the northern portion
of Ohio county in Fordsville Satur-
day, at which the pooling pledges
were declared Cancelled, negotiations
were begun with greensboro buyers
looking to a sale of all the Equity
tobacco in that section of the county,
practically all of the territory
north of Rough river, with the eX-
ception of a small area Immediately
across the river from Hartford.
j. M. Vaughan, of Greensboro, was
one of the buyers approached. He
made a proposition to take all of the
tobacco. This was reported back 10
the growers and Mr.. Vaughn was
notified Tuesday that it had been ac-
copied. All of this tobacco will be
received and paid for at Fordsville.
If the formal cvontract can be signed
and other preliminary details COM
pleted, it is likely that delivery will
begin on Monday of next week.
A committee claiming to represent
the Equity growers in the Whites
vile section of Daviess county was
in Owensboro Tuesday negotiating
for the sale of the 1907 crop. The
members of this committee returned
home Tuesday afternoon and it was
reported from Whitesville Tuesday
night that they were successful in
making a sale through the Home
Warehouse company, and that the to-
bacco will be received in Whitesville,
beginning Monday.
A representative of the Home
Warehouse company was seen Tues
day night and asked about this deal.
The statement from Whitesville was
repeated to him and he was asked
either to confirm or deny it. His re-
ply was that, just at this stage of
the game, he would prefer not TO
make any statement for publication
relative to the Whitesville matter.
1t is certain, however, that a factory
at Whitesville has been secured by
an Owensboro buyer and is being
held in readiness for receiving to-
bacco.
We produce the foregoing without
assuming Responsibilities its being
correct or incorrect so that our read
ers may know what is being said OF
them away from home. 1t is veryWike

MUNICIPAL SCHEME
LOOKS GOOD, BUT
Vivid Pen Picture of 100000 Citi-
zens Asserting Rights as
Stockholders.

Myron w. Townsend. OF the St. Louis
Post Dispatch. wrote an article the
other day telling what a good thing it
would be for the city of St Louis to
buy the St. Louis National League Club.
In twenty years, he wrote. the city
would be able to pay OF the bonds and
would have an income from the club or
from $4,000 10 10000.
This is q great scheme on paper.
Every citizen would consider himself
the manager OF the club. Under such
conditions ST. Louis would be ready for
riot and rebellion. The 10000 citizen
managers would cause so much Tuction
that St Louis wouldn't be safe for a
hall player. AprOpos OF this suggestion
Louis Anger, the comedian, tells this
story:
Il saw a ball game up the state last
Sunday. IL was between Mt Carmel
and s5hamokin. In the eighths inning
the umpire gave q close decision 10
Sham0kin. At once a bunch OF Sit.
Carmel rOoters rushed out on the field
'Get out or hereI shouted the um~
. Me get OUT NothingT retorted one
OF the excited roOters. I'm a stock
holder IN the NJ Carmel team, and no
one can put me of the field.
And they didn't put him on, either,
concluded Anger.

rights of stockholders to place on the

the vaulting event. Gordon seems to
have the high jump cinched against all
competition with a record of feet IL
inches: Lowry is Gordons running
mate. and cleared the bar last year at
) feet inches, which should give him
a place in almst all of the meets this
year.
For the broad jump Thomson and
Thomas will be at the takeOff, and as
both of these men went over Il feet
in the conference meet last year. they
should take first and second places in
it. unless some new 'phenom' springs
up in the meantime.
The mile and two-mile grinds are as
vet puzzlers to Occidental. and unless

coming freshman class Oxy will have
to be content with no scores in these
races, for there is no one left over
from last years team who can sue
cessfully compete with such men as
Mills. Jones, Scott and Lorbeer. Pat
terson formerly ran the mile, but he
has decided not to go out this year.
Although very few points are con-
coded in the sprints, there are several
good men in the school who may spring
surprises later on. Kellogg and Cap
tain Rush both have fair records in
the 100 and 2ZO-yafd ddSneS, ana III Llle
quarter the dopesters are figuring that
Bird will come into his own again and
defeat Sloane of Pomona. Sloane sur
prised everyone last spring when he
defeated the lengthy Presbyterian in
a fast lap, but when it is considered
that Bird actually got out of a sick
bed to run 1t is no surprise to his adj
mirers. After a years rest Bonner will
again be out for the half mile, but will
not run the quarter along with it.
Several good men are left yet for
the relay, Captain Rush, Bonner, Bird
and Kellogg all having been on the
team in other seasons. The first three
of these men ran last year in the con-
ference and succeeded in capturing the
banner from Pomona, and as the lat
ter has also lost two good men from
its team in Mckee and Rogers, the
Presbyterians are not worrying much
over the outcome of it. If the discus

events, Conrad will undoubtedly cap

SAINTS NINE
TO BEGIN WORK
BASEBALL PLAYERS READY
FOR SEASON
Coach Moores viii Put Candidates
Through Their Paces-Five of
Last Years Team Return
to School

Tomorrow evening Coach Moores of
ST. Vincent's college will have his squad
of promising youngsters out for the
first baseball practice of the year. 1t
is Moores intention to put his men
through batting practice and prelim-
mary field work so as to have them in
condition for hard practice Immediately
after the holidays
From present indications, st. Vim
cents will have it's Usual strong team
in the field again this year. With the
exception of 1906 the Saints have won
the intercollegiate championship of
Southern California for seven years,
and it will be with the intention of
keeping up the good work that the team
have returned to school, and they will
form strong nucleus about which to
build the team. Grindle, who caught a
consistent game for the Saints last sea-
son, will again be behind the bat, with
West of Pomona high school and Lee
Couts of last years academic team as
his understudies.
The team will be exceptionally strong
in the pitching department this year,
with Buckles. who made a great repu-
tation for himself last year while pitch
ing for Pomona high school; Kerfoot,
an old man, and Foster Couts of last
years preparatory team to do the
twirling.
Capt. Ybarrondo also will be on hand
and can be depended upon in case of
necessity. Ybarrondo however, intends
to give up pitching as his regular posi-
ton and will try out for short stop
where, it is thought, he will make good.
First base will be covered by Ken
nedy, formerly of Santa Clara college,
and Workman. A new man will have
to be developed to take the place of
Second Baseman Flick, while CorbiE
will be at his old place at third.
From the present outlook Callahan
will be in left field, Cunningham in
center while one of the extra pitchers
will cover right.
