Managers Changed

the Piitsourg Pirates and Connie"
, Macl. of The Philadelphia Athletics.
There's Il reason for the long service
: In each case. Clarke landed his Pr
rates In first place In 1901. 1902.
1908 and 1909. Mack won the
uhampir nship with his Quakers in
1902 ana 1905. Besides, both
Clarke and Mack have generally had
contenderds In such campaigns as
they failed to finish on top.
! Aside fIom Back and McAleer. and
now the latter changes cities. there
isn't anything like an old employee

PATSY" Donovan start next season

Joie in Cleveland In August. Stall
lings started In New York last
spring. Jennings has had three
years In Detroit. Mack has operat-
ed clear through since 1900 in Phil
adelphia. Ban johnson gave Me-
Aleer n job In 1902. The Youngs-
town haberdasher stays in the baby
body. However. the 1910 season
will find him in another town -
Washington.
These constant switches show
Conclusively that the bankroll gents
In the American League are not
satisfied with the article of ball their
managers are giving them, and that
despite the fact that profits have
been big. The successful business
doesn't make changes, particularly
with the heads OF its departments.
The American League magnates are
constantly making changes. That
should show that the strength has
not been what It should be In the
play. One new manager came last
spring. and another was installed
In the flag end OF the campaign.
Next spring there will be three new
bosses, possibly four, as Ban John
son has threatened to raise a hula
baloo and discharge somebody for
that signal-stealing gag the Tigers
exposed the last time they played

Final Walking Race
Next Sunday

Il has been decided to start the
walking race next Sunday at 1880
o'clock sharp. and that will enable
all the baseball fans to see both the
peds and ball players at work.
Besides the main event there are
two other races,-one for fat men
and one for veterans. Entries for
the latter events may be made be-
fore Friday night to the sporting
editor OF the morning paper. Z. The
three races promise to provide good
sport. and, as the police will be on
The Qui vive next Sunday. nothing
should spoil the events.
There are some fine prizes to be
won, and no doubt Sullivan will
have to walk even faster than he
did last Sunday In order to win.
Ayres will be on the Job from the
word go. and he will improve a 10,
on his time of last week. He walks
In great style and can be relied
upon to put up great struggle
against the rest OF the bunch.

be much closer than that OF Sun

HIRAM c. GOLDBERG.

The women OF Detroit are to be
thanked for their noble work, Mon
day, when by thei- votes they gave
the victory TO the cause OF reform
and honesty In educational matters
Thus Inspector Hiram e. Goldbers
sums up his feelings with regard ia
the overthrow OF the Martindaie can
didates In most OF the wards in the
primary election.
But the women OF the city must re.
member that their work is but half
done" he says They must. having
nominated clean candidates, remember
to support them at the April election
or else the gang will overcome the
good work that has been done.
The primary election resulted In
the greatest victory for morality ever
known in this city, for decency and
honesty in the conduct OF the schools.
The Times did splendid service by its
courageous and answering battle for
the right.
ION July 1, when the school board
Is reorganized the lid will be lifted
and the people will have an oppor-
tunity to learn what is beneath the
surface OF school board affairs. The
stencil will be sitting. This victory
means the ousting OF the corrupt ma
chine that has used the schools OF the
city for its own ends for SO long and
return to honest management But.
TO make the outcome sure. the people
must work as hard for the election Of
clean and reputable men as they have
for their nomination.
Personally. would thank the peo-
pie OF the Twelfth ward, men and
women, who have shown that they are
willing to testify TO what they con-

power to justify their confidence"
Inspector Burton, OF the Second
ward. was similarly pleased.

that the people have shown their in

hold his place as long as he desires
and that the people will uphold him

most favorable to the Martindale in

MILLIONS MUST Be
CUT FROM BUDGET,
SAYS OOREMUS
TO PASS ESTIMATES AS SUB.
MiTTEo WOULD BOOST TAX
RATE SIP A HousAND-cITY
NEAR BOND ISSUE LIMIT. .

Controller Doremus takes a practi
cal and rather pessimistlc view or city
| finances in submitting the estimates
TO the common council. He states
that this years budget. $ll.215,2l79l.
is the largest In the city's history,
being 81 .309, 598.S4 more than that sub
mitted last year and $3.294. 295.6O
more than was allowed in 1908. The
increase Is $565,4l2 for maintenance.
| 1868, S41 for improvements. and $SO,3i1
on interest and principal of bonded in
debtedness.
The city is close to its bonding limit
OF $6,9S3.271. there being a margin OF
but $143.911. allowing for $675,0OO OF
bonds which have been authorized but
never issued. Ii the assessed valua-
ton is increased $l5.000,000 this year.
the city, even then, could issue but
$400, 900 OF bonds. With this bond
issue and an estimate OF S250,O00 or
liquor license moneys, the allowance
Of the entire budget would still mean
tax rate of $27 &C per $1,000 OF prop
erty. an increase OF more than $12 pei
thousand.
This means that several millions
must be Topped from the budget.
In former years. the house OF col
rection funds have been used to- sup
ply deficiencies in exhausted funds.
The controller states that 1t would be
better public policy TO set the profits
aside for permanent improvements
and to give each department an emer-
gency fund. The house OF correction

The deficiency fund. as forecasted,
was found inadequate last July TO sup

It was necessary to transfer $42, 1894. 40
to this fund from the liquor moneys.
This fund will again show a deficit
this year.
The contingent fund is still I'm bad
condition owing to the drains upon y
for sidewalk building and the neces
sary delay, under present laws and
ordinances. In collecting this money
and putting II back to the credit OF
the fund The controller recommends
that extra help be given the assessors
SO that they may be able to expedite
this work as much as possible.
Doremus recalls that he was allowed
81 900 last year to inspect work done
and materials used by executive de-
partments. The heads OF departments
are largely dependent upon their sub.
ordinates for Information. he says. and
the establishment OF an inspection d.
partment entirely separate from the
original department would be In har.
mony with a spirit OF municipal re.
form. He asks for $4,000 this year

BEATEN BUNCH
HARD TO FIND
MARTlNOAlE FOLK DON'T COME
TO THE TIMES TO BE
INTERVIEWED.

Leaders OF the Martindale faction
were very hard to find, or to address,
after finding. Tuesday morning The
superintendent Of schools may have
been in his office but calls and tele-
phone inquiries did not bring any
sesame to his presence. The only in
formation as TO his whereabouts was
that he was out about the city some
where, and that the Office had no
knowledge AS TO where he might be.
President Charles J. George was in
hic factory, but his response TO a re-
quest for his views on the primary
election was met with the reply that
he was too busy to talk.
Inspector Leonard was as hard 10
fine as the superintendent. a number
OF telephone calls at his home and at
the car plant of which he is superin-
tendent falling TO elicit any informa-
ton regarding where he might be
found
Bud" Shivers, OF the Sixteenth
ward. did not dodge an interview but
he did not conceal the fact that he
has some bruises which ii will take
long time to heal.
What do you consider the reasons
for the defeat OF the Martindale adj
ministration? he was asked
You have been printing the reasons
right along" was the reply You are
no friends of mine. There has been
lot OF mud thrown"
Doesn't this vote of the people In
dictate that they lack confidence in the
Martindale factlon?" was another
query.
II don't care" said Bud" There
are no sore spots on me. I'm salts
fed"
Secretary Lee was not In his Office
when a call was made to interview
him during the morning.
