PAST SEASON A SAD ONE
FOR EAST IN BASEBALL
Al Aonors Taken by Western Teams
in Major Leasues-Giants Near
Pennant Winners.

Sad indeed are the baseball fans of
the east Gloom is selling above par
In gay New York. The season of 1908
has been pretty tough one not only
for New York. but the ether eastern
members of both the big league cir
cults.
While the Gotham fans can get
some enjoyment out of the fact that
the Giants were near-pennant win
ners, there is but little for the fol-
lowers of tho Highlanders to enthuse
over. Last spring the club owned by
Frank Farrell looked like a sure pen-
nant contender, and for six weeks it
lived up to its reputation. Then the
gas bag sprung leak and the High
landers began drop, that ended only
when the cellar was reached The New
York American club has the distinc-
ton of being one of the worst tail-end7
ers in the history OF Ban BIS league.
There isn't much to be happy for in
that.
In Philadelphia the fans have had
but little to brag about. The Ath-
letics have been rank disappoint-
ment. From a pennant contender last
year, the club dropped to poor sixth
in the season just closed True, tho
Phillies finished fourth in the older
organization, but Murrays team
played such erratic as well as bril-.
liant ball that the supporters of the
game in Slowtown never knew what
to expect. Both clubs promise to be
in the race in 1909, but you can never
tell.
The Red Sox look pretty good to
the Boston fans and they expect much
from Taylor's youngsters next season.
| There is no question about the ma
| terial being there, but the club lacks
| a leader to develop it. The biggest
mistake ever made by the Boston club
! was the release of the veteran "Jim"
Mcclure. With Mcclure leading, it's
| a cinch the Boston American team
| would have been up in the race next
year. but with it's present manager
| the club is but a possibility. The Ma
tional league team under Joe Kelly
has been huge failure.
! Patsy Donovan has had bad year
| of it in Brooklyn and gives but little
| hope for next season. Washington
| fans are up in the air over the M,
| tionals. In the games at home this
| year the team managed by Cantillon
has shown the ability to play high
class ball, but on the road it has been
more or less of joke.
The leaders Of the eastern teams
| realize that their only hope for win
ner next year depends on the success
OF the youngsters already picked up
and those who will be grabbed up
| during the winter. On the form shown
in the fall games it looks as if some
mighty promising minor leaguers had
been corraled.

Chase Drawing $45 Per Game.

1t is said that Hal Chase, the pre-
mier first baseman of the New York
Highlanders, who jumped to the
Stockton team in the California State
league, is receiving $1,000 to play out
the remainder of the season with Man
-ager Cy Moreing. This sum, with
transportation both for himself and
wife from New York to California,
was offered by. Mareing. Chase was
hired to play % games. the number
on schedule, and at the above rate is
getting $45 a game.

COMMITTEE IS ACTIVE
Men Chosen to Organize Cannery
Company Meet and Decide
on Plan of Work.

Wednesday night, at the meeting Of
the committee appointed by the Horti-
cultural Society, a definite plan for the
installing Of cannery in Dallas was
formulated
The six members OF the committee
decided individually to make a study
of the canneries that have been
installed in neighboring towns and Of
the methods OF operating them, and
the knowledge acquired in this man
ner will be applied in the management
of the projected caLnery in Dallas.
The plan decided upon at Wednesday
nights meeting is similar to the one
under which the Salem cannery was
successfully founded and operated.
A company will be organized and
sufficient stock will be sold among the
fruit growers and business men OF
Dallas and vicinity, to erect the build
ing, install the machinery, and get
the industry we'll started. This plan
will practically insure the success of
the enterprise, by Identifying the
double interests Of the people as fruit
growers and as stockholders in the
cannery company.
H. s. Butz. president of the Horti-
cultural Society, has called meeting
to be held at the Court House, at /
o'clock Saturday afternoon, January
IS. At this meeting definite action
will be taken on the plan offered by
the committee.
Many Of the fruit growers in the
vicinity of Dallas have signifled their
intention of taking stock in the new
company, which they believe will soon
be organized, and they express abso-
lutte confidence in the prompt and CON-
plete success of the scheme. The COM
mittee has already received a commun-
ication from certain contractor Offer
ing to install, equip and put in opera
tion thoroughly up-to-date oannery
for moderate consideration, the can
merry to become the absolute property
of the company as soon as it is we'll
established. This proposition has
been taken under advisement by the
committee and will be presented before
the Horticultural Society at next
weeks meeting to be acted upon.

WILL INCREASE ATTENDANCE
Motor Company VIII Run Special
Train From Airlle On Last
Day of Goat Show.

The management Of the Annual
Goat Show to be held in this city next
week has arranged to have a special
motor run between Airlie and Dallas
on Friday, the last day of the show.
The train will leave Airlie at 8 80 a. M,
coming through Monmouth direct to
Dallas, and will leave here for the
return trip at 8 80 p. m. One and one
third fare will be charged for the
round trip, and large delegation Of
the goat breeders from Airlie and
vicinity are expected to take advantage
OF this rate and attend the show.
Through the kindness of the Dallas
Furniture Company, the association
has secured the implement room in its
big store in which to hold the show
this year. This is the same hall in
which the exhibits at the recent poultry
show were placed, and it is regarded
as a much more desirable place than
the lower floor of the gymnasium
which has been formerly used, since
it is nearer the business center of the
city. 1t is also near the depot, making
it much easier to transfer the stock
that is sent from other localities, from
the cars to the exhibit hall.
