NEW YORK, Jan. l, IJlU.
The year 1909, which will have pass
ed into history when this issue reaches
our readers, was one of steady recov-
ery for the trade from the distressing
effects left in the wake of the panic in
1907. While the general condition OF
the country had commenced to improve
already in the fall of 1908, the trade
did not share in the improvement till
the new year started in. For it is an
old experience that financial and eco
nomical disturbances which abruptly
arrest the prosperity and progress of
other industries and trades, do not af-
feet likewise either the cigar industry
or the tobacco trade. Both the tobacco
trade and cigar industry are the last to
feel the result of such disturbances,
and they are also the last to partici-
pate in the recovery. The restoration
to the volume of business which the
trade had reached before the setback
of the panic in October of 1907 has as
yet not been accomplished, but the
trend of affairs during the year just
closed is leading up to it.
In the leaf trade the volume of busi-
ness grew steadily, SO also advanced
the price Of stock, although old stocks
had accumulated of nearly two years
preceding crops in addition to the crop
harvested during the year. The de-
mand with the increase in the output
of the cigar industry sufficiently alb
sorbed the accumulation to make sure
of profit on the new crop. Particu-
larly so as the outlook at the beginning
of the growing season was not espec-
tally favorable, either for full yield,
or for an altogether qualified crop.
True enough, the weather mended ano
the later set-out and matured plants
dispelled the anxiety of thorough
failure of the new crops. But while il
lasted it stimulated investments in the
accumulated old stocks and helped tG
lift them both from the hands of grow
ers and packers.
If not as pronounced and remunera-
tive, it was but in slighter degree re.
Operative the activity in the filler ano
binder grades during the year. Anc
the recuperative activity in these grades
evidenced itself most effectively in then
steadily advancing price. The panic
prices went all to pieces, and at the
close of the year the price of the do
| mestic filler and binder stock was but
few cents apart from the topnotct
figure of the boom season Of 1906. Fol
the domestic cigar leaf trade, there

ENGLISH PAPER R0ASTS
AMERICAN RUGBY GAME

Under the head Of chartered
Hooiganism" the London Bystander
deals American football the follow
ing:
OF all the games played in the civ
ilized world the most execrable is
American football. nor is there any
thing more unintelligable than the fas-
cination which this brutal and degrad-
ing pastime has for an intelligent ma
tion like America. An off-shoot pre-
sumably, of our own rugby game in
its earliest and crudest form. IL still
bears, outwardly at any rate. some
resemblance to ii. But whereas we
have i'm process of time improved our
game by eliminating its more brutal
features, the tendency i'm America has
been all the other way. That it is
scientific game nobody is prepared to
deny.
To be proficient at IL team must
practice assiduously with the aid of a
professional coach, and one of its So
called beauties consists in the sue
cessful carrying out after arduous
training, of various concerted move
ments, the signal for which is given
by code words the significance Of
which is, of course, only known to
the players on the side. This in itself
is form OF mere trickery, which is
repugnant to the ideas of the aver
age sportsman, but apart from this
rough play. so far from being dis
couraged, is recognized as an essen
tial feature of the game, and the cos
tune of the players. with its pads
and guards, may be lkened to a suit
Of armor
Seldom does n match take place
without some injuries of a more or
less serious character taking place
and deliberate attempts on the part
of the players to knock each other
out are part of the days work
Things have come to such a pass this
year that n dozen or more football
deaths" have been recorded. We are
glad to hear that. as the result of the
death OF one of its cadets, football
at West Point academy has been
stopped and we hope that this may
prove the beginning of the end of a
game which is a disgrace to modern
civilization.
Our own game. which is manly
without being brutal, has made ire
mendous Roadway in the colonies.
Why not in America, too? 1t is not
as if they had no national game
which is both a good game and also
peculiarly their own, for baseball
though II has never caught on much
outside the states, is a game which.
besides being eminently a game of
skill. calls for sufficient display OF
courage without being brutal.

SaIIIHPAwS ARE SCARCE
IN MAJOR LEAGUE CLUBS
r,d;. Plank and Doc White Lead
Portside Heavsrs in Amer
lean League.
PHILADELPHIA WELL SUPPLIED

Good southpaws seem to be getting
orcer every year. In both the Am
~. .,aon and National leagues there APP
IT, a. he a dearth of classy portside
prs The very fact that the vet
sans Eddie Plank and Doc WHITE are
orod mon as the premier SOUTH
oOn IN ran Johnson's league is the
paw" evidence possible of this fact.
V' 1ohnson's league. Philadelphia Is
,ost fortified. having Eddie Plank ana
,Tarr, Krause, who made such SEN
- ua1aI start by winning 10 straight

'nn for some time, Plank is young as
20 wears and since he takes excellent
20 ~ himself he should he able 10
bring Joy in the shape of victories TO

Krause's Weakness.
Krause has everything that goes to
,a,,o nm a successful southpaw, ex-
oont the ability to hold the runners
On tbe bases. When any opposing
n,ovor reaches first with Krause
nltchlng he generally runs wild. This
weakness was not discovered until
Toto in the season or Krause might
NOT have got away with such a flying
,,ort Had he been able to watch the
bases more closely he would have won
many n game that was charged up to
the defeat column later i'm the sea-
con. Krause is working hard to over
oome his lone fault and will be much
imnroyed man when he does.
In Bailey ST. Louis has n south
nav who promises much. Bailey has
a world of speed and a good curve.
His only weakness is the fact that he
is a trine frail. lie has the nerve,
however that should overcome this
one weakness. Graham, the other
Brownie, has lot of stuff, but he
can't hold the runners on the bases
and is almost joke as a fielder.
Kilian's Arm Passing.
If Killian's arm was as good as his
nerve he could go on pitching for
ever but Eds trusty left wing is
nearly gone. Jennings had hoped for
much from Speer, but the dapper little
southpaw failed to do anything much
all year.
In Doc White Chicago has one of
the craftiest pitchers that ever
stepped into the box. White watches
the bases like a hawk, knows every
batters weakness, works n man to the
limit and never wastes bit of energy.
White is a great pitcher but he can't
go on winning forever. Sutor has n
lot Of stuff, but appeared unsteady
in most of the games he worked last
year.
Boston has Karger, n former vet,
eran Of ability, and Walters, an un-
certainty. Washington has Dolly
Gray, who should be a good man for
the Nationals this year, while New
York hopes that Jim Vaughan will
deliver and Cleveland is expecting
much from Jim McGuire's youngsters.
