Secession to Cleveland is almost
threatened in Boston because the Ameri-
can league base ball club has dispensed
with the services OF Denton Tecumseh
Young. the grand old man" Of base ball.
Judging by the amount Of street talk
and newspaper comment, nothing has
recently struck Boston so heavy blow
as this transfer to the Cleveland club.
The staid newspapers and the leaders in
public lie are contributing their protests,
some mild, other vigorous, and consid-
cradle number insistent that great in
Justice has been done to themselves as
well as to the ball player who has been
turned loose when his days OF usefulness
seemed to be On the wane. The wave OF
protest viii subside eventually, and Bos.
ton viii resume her normal composure;
but it viii be years before base ball
means just the same to the people who
have been seeing this veteran twirl the
ball year after year, and, by his actions,
assist in making the game Of base ball
worthy of the interest Of the best Ameri-
can people. Young has made himself
rich by his good right arm, and he does
not need TO play base ball; but perhaps
he may have some objections to being
kicked out the back door as unceremoni-
ously as his owners treated him.

Perhaps the people of no state in the
Union retain their home ties SO strongly
as do those Vermonters who journey into
distant sections because of various at :
fractions. Certainly the people OF no
state have 20 many old home associa-
tons, relative to population, as have
Vermonters. About the first thing that
Vermonters do when they get settled
in their new locations is to look about
them for fellow ,Vermonters with whom
to talk over old times back in the Green
Mountain state, and this desire for get
ting together leads naturally toward the
formation of Vermont associations, the
number of which is yearly multiplying.
Inc latest Vermont association to come
to our attention is the Vermont Asso-
citation of Alameda County, California"
and the secretary writes that the club
is DESTROYS of enrolling all natives and
former residents of Vermont who are
az present living in Alameda county.
therefor he attention of people back
in aont is directed toward en-
aging any Of their relatives now in
ameda county into applying for mem
ship In the new organization. Al
ady seventy vermonters are on the
membership list, and the club expects
many more, as there are many persons
eligible in the cities of Oakland, Berk-
ley, Alameda and Fruitvale, besides some
in the smaller communities. The initial
meeting Of The association was held At

next month, the withdrawal of w. B.
