four games each. Immediately afterward
the worlds championships would begin.
1t would practically be the beginning of
new season, for leaders and tailenders
would start on even terms for the big
prize. In the worlds series the Giants
would meet in home and-home games not
only every National League club, but
every American League club as well.
The Yankees would play in Brooklyn and
Brooklyn would play at the Hilltop. Mat
ty and Marquard might match their
prowess against Walter Johnson and
wild Bilp' Donovan.
By playing two games at home and
two abroad with each big league rival,
the worlds championships would be con-
fined to sixty games, a total of 172 alto
gether, counting the regular schedules of
the major leagues. OF the sixty cham
piOnship games. certain percentage of
the receipts would be set aside as q pool
for the players. The teams would share
in these according to the final standings
of the great pOst-season series. The win
ming team, beyond question of doubt the
champion of champions. would get the
lions share of the spells. The tailenders
would also receive monetary consolation.
Should Cut Open Dates.
The proposition Of schedule Of IT,
games appears somewhat preposterous at
first glimpse. Still 1t is not as bad as the
drawn-out schedule the National League
observed in 1911, for 1t embraces the
worlds series. BY cutting out number
of the open dates now observed by both
leagues a schedule OF 172 games could
be played out before the middle OF Octo-
Der. No worlds series has yet been con-
Guided earlier than that date Besides, 1t
would assure Charles Hercules Ebbets OF
his beloved Columbus day attraction.

TRADE DAYS.

Trade days are becoming perman.
ent features OF several towns Il
Mississippi. Brookhayen will star
its first one on December 10th ant
have one trade day in every month
The Brookhaven Times has the fol
lowing 2 70 the matter:
December 10th is q date fixed OF
which farmers may bring TO on,
place at one time anything they may
want TO sell or to swap and there
meet people who want to buy.
He fixes his own price and makes
his own trade.
1T is day especially for the farm
ers but it is understood that any
town man may participate and trade
II he wants to do so. For the first
trade day, which will take place on
Saturday, December 10th, it is plann-
ed to have a good auctioneer on
hand to cry any article its owner
may decide to offer at auction. A
number have said they would offer
buggies, implements, ETC., to the
highest bidder.
December 10Th will be the date
of the first Brookhayen trade day
it is planned to have them every
month thereafter il the farmers find
them attractive and will bring in
their trading stuff and stock.
For the first one, to start it
of with arush, the committee on ar.
r%angements plan to have q process
sion which will start from the
Brookhavsn Bank & Trust Co., cor
ner at 1880 and parade the princi-
pal streets. Every man who will
have something to trade is expected
to join the procession with his trad
ing stock. Don't miss the process
sion!
Other features are planned
which will be announced next week.
In some Of our neighboring states
thtse trade days are well establish
ed and have become Of great inn
portancs to the people. Buyers from
q distance make it d point to DO on
hand and it Is seldom that q farmer
has to take anything home for want
Of a reasonable offer, The same will
DO true in Breokhaven as soon as the
custom Is established. Trade day
will bring the buyer and seller to-
gether at a time when both are in
tho notion Of trading"
II would be well within the pro-
vince Of the Greenwood Business
League to investigate the success Of
these trade days In various towns.
In many places such special days
have been maintained for many
years with increasing success. II.
practical elsewhere, Greenwood
should prove no exception. Al any
rate it is we'll worth investigating.
