LOCAL PROSPECTS
AMONG TIL; BEST
PROSPEROUS TIMES TO BE THE
BILL OF FARE FOR TULSANS
DURING COMING YEAR.
business IS SATISFACTORY
Building Activities Pointed out TO he
Figures Here Significant.

That business prospects for Tulsa
for the year 1912, to be ushered in in
few days, are the best she has ever
seen, is the opinion of j. NJ, Berry,
cashier of the Central National bank,
who yesterday issued statement re-
garding local financial conditions.
TULSA has weathered the dullest
six months of her history in a splen-
did fashion" he declared, and now
that business and financial conditions
throughout the country are' on the
upward trend, ] look for prosperous
times for Tulsa from now on, even
more prosperous than any time in
the past year"
''W hat to me is the most encourag-
ing sign from a local standpoint
continued Mr.. Berry, lis that during
the six months ending December 1,
the building permits issued by the
city building inspector were $S2,775
greater than during the correspond
ing time during the year 1910. Build
ing operations are a good index to
business activity, and these figures
are particularly significant | have
knowledge that a great building cam
paign is to be launched Ia Tulsa about
the first Of the year. and only to-
day saw the plans for an eight-story
building that is soon to be started
here.
THE farming conditions at this
time of the year are particularly hope
full The recent rain has worked Won
ders for the soil, and the unusually
large amount of winter plowing be-
ing done. all tends to put the farmer
in very optimistic frame Of mind.
"The money market at the present
time is fairly easy, and while | don't
look for much change during the COM
ing conditions are very satisfactory.
The fact that the coming year is a
presidential year, tends to the belief
that business activity throughout tho
country will be almost at stand
STILL awaiting the results Of the na-
tion-wide elections.
1T would require much time to
enumerate the many occurrences of
| the past two years which have had
tendency to upset business condi-
tlons. 1t is enough TO say at this
time that things have finally settled
down, and the settling down has been
of such substantial nature that near
ly all recognized authorities agree
that the coming year will be much
more satisfactory in a business way
than was even hoped for n few months
ago. -.
Banking conditions on the whole
are satisfactory. Local bank clear
ings for the four weeks ending No
vember 25 were s2.5S4.3S1, and for
the corresponding period in October
s2,257.026, an increase Of s327,253,
which reflects a very satisfactory bus
iness condition"

King is one of the best tackles in the

MACK SHIFTS TWO.
Livingston Goes to Naps-Toledo
Gets Hartsel.

Philadelphia Pa. Dec. cit was an
nOunCed here tonight that Manager
Connie Mack, of the champion Athletics,
had released TOpsy Hartsel to the Toledo
Club. of the American Association, and
Paddy Livingston to the Cleveland Maps.
Hartsel has been a member Of three
worlds championship teams. while Liv-
ingston has been member of two cham
pionship aggregations. Hartsel is getting
old and has lost the speed that made him
one of the best Outfelders in the business.
Always a good hitter, TOpsy could run the
bases with the best and had a great
head. This leaves but two old-timers on
the White Elephants pay roll-PIank
and Murphy.
Paddy Livingston has been released to
Cleveland to bolster up the weak catch
ing department OF the Maps, and it. can
be said that only Mack's friendship for
Harry Davis allowed the fat boy TO leave
the Athletics.

Jennings was another Roger BreSna-
| han at the bat He could Outguess
pitcher better than any batsman of his
time. Hugh was a scientific batsman.
He could bunt like McGraw, hit with
runner like Roger Bresnahan, and whack
ball in pinch like Steve Evans. one
of the greatest pinch hitters in the game.
Jennings was an artist with the bat. He
could place the ball as Cleverly as Jimmy
SheCkard.
Jennings and McGraw perfected the
hit-and-run play, and really originated
the idea of sending a man from first to
third on a single to right field. Jen-
nings struck his stride as a batsman in
1885. He led the champion Baltimore
club in batting that year, Outhitting Nc
Graw, Kelley and the other sIUggers of
the Oriole aggregation. Hugh batted 1856
in 13l games. Burkett, Delehanty, Keeler.
Thompson, Hamilton, Clements, and
Lange outhit him that season.
One year later Jennings ran Jesse Bur
ket to a nose for the batting hOnors
of the National League. Burkett, then
with the Cleveland club, led the league,
with the fat percentage of 40 Jennings
was second, with batting figure Of .397.
He outhit the great DeIehanty three
points. Jennings slumped trifie in 1897,
finishing the season with a batting rec
ord of .353 Keeler led the National
League that year, with Fred Clarke sec
ond Joe Kelley third. and Jesse Burkett
fourth. Jennings also slipped back in
1888. hitting .325, and in 1899 he batted
only 300. Then his arm went back on
him and he dropped out of the running
Jack Coombs, of the Athletics, made
the following remarks while in Chicago
last week filling a theatrical engagement.
Il look for Cleveland upder Davis to
make a great fight for the American
League pennant in 1912. The same can
be said of the White Sox under the man
agement'of Jimmy Callahan. Jake Stahl
may also bring the Red Sox up in the
running, but the one best bet is Jimmy
Callahan" Coombs also stated that the
Athletics would win the American
League pennAnt, but that the fight will
be harder than last year.
Tom Shevlin, the former Yale star,
who knows as much football as anybody,
and more than most, is firmly convinced
that football as played now needs rule
changing, and he thinks just two changes
are needed. 1t may be that the changes
he advocates will be presented to the
rules committee when that body con-
venes in the winter.
Mind you, I'm not kicking because
Yale was beaten" continued Shevlin.
We've won games from Princeton under
the present rules and played a better
Harvard team to a standstill, so we
haven't had any the worst of it with the
rules.

BY WILLIAM PEET.

One of the obstacles Manager Griffith
is up against here is the Nationals in
field, and in connection with the infeld
third base looms up as about the tough
est proposition. as there appears to be
fair material for the other corners Of
| the diamond.
With Conroy and Elberfeld both out of
the way, there remains only young Ray
Morgan, whom local fans have seen in
action, together with such recruits as
Sheer from Youngstown, and Gagnier,
| from Bob Unglaub's Lincoln club.
/ Morgan looked promising the few
games he played around the hot corner,
but is rather light. With the experience
gained last fall he may develop into a
rattling good man. Gagnier. from Lin
coin, is said to be a third baseman of
considerable class. No matter how you
look at 1t, Griff is bound to have his
hands full developing a man to take care
of this position.
The material for first and second base
positions looks much better. Germany
! Schaefer will be hard for either Flynn
or Spencer to crowd out, while Bill Cum
ningham and young Foster are sure to
have a battle royal for the second base
| job.
/ If Cunningham shows the same ability
| he displayed when he joined the club
two years ago Foster will have to play
better ball than he did in the Eastern
| League to land the job.
Cunningham and Foster are opposite
types when IT comes to hitting. Rubber
Shirt Bill swings hard and either knocks
the ball out of the lot or perishes on
| strikes. Fosters success as batter was
gained by beating out scratch hits. toS-
ter uses a short bat and chops at the
. Of ha
men in a pinch in the Eastern League
last year, and scored many run by
short poke over some infielder's head.
Cunningham could not do himself JUS
tice last year, but if reports are to be
credited he is taking good care Of him
self this winter and expects to report
in fine shape next spring.
Steamboat Bill Otey. the big Ianly
left-hander. who nearly drove Jimmy
McAleer into his grave last summer, has
again signed with the Dayton club of
the Central League, and much is ex-
peCted of Bill next season.
Otev always looked n he would some
dav null himself together and make one
of the best sOuthpawS in the business.
He had all the necessary requirements
of a successful finger. but somehow or
other could not get started After Otcy
was cut adrift from the Nationals he
Joined the Dayton club and helpted that
team win the championship.
When Charley Hemphill goes to At
Ianta to assume charge of the Southern
League club next spring he will in all
probability take with him Charley Con-
way, of Youngstown. Ohio, whom 1t will
be remembered was given trial by the
Nationals down South last spring
Conway had most successful season
with the o. and P. league last year, and
was up among the topnotchers when the
batting averages came out.
What kind of a player was Hugh
jennings" inquired a baseball fan yes
terday The baseball guides tell the tale.
Here is Hugh's batting averages for the
six campaigns he was prominent as a
