Sandy Bannister has come out with

if Sandy will be repurchased by the
local team and will fool those Me-

this in mind, the Mechanics of 1911
will not be the Runners Up Of 1910.
Manager Gene has given his word
that his second experience in the
Nutmeg circuit will be more produce

performance.

over, and conditions are the same.
the talk has again started. 1t is
learned that Manager Burke of the
New Bedford team is in New Britain

that city. Strange, New Bedford is
practically the same club shifted from
New Britain a few seasons back.
With New Britain in, watch for the

Frank McPartlin, variously known
as Pop" MAC" "Old Fox" and "Old
Man. will be the manager of the
champion Waterbury club next sea-
son unless the team is sold or he does
not receive better offer to guide the
destinies of another club. This is the
information given out by Harry Du-
rant, who controls most of the stock
of the club McPartlin has been with
Waterbury for four years, and last
pitchers. He has nothing but a soft
out shoot, but gets away with it. His
chief asset is brainy dome.
Frank Connaughton, captain of the
Waterbury club last season, the man
whose work really won the pennant
for the inland city, would be willing
to take the job of manager, and has
written to the owners asking for their
terms for leading the club.
Eddie Swander who performed in
the field for Waterbury a few seasons
back, came near being returned to
his former club, but at his own re-
quest he will be kept away from that
city. Swander is now with the Oak
land club of the Pacific Coast league
Owner Wolverton of Oakland was
willing to turn Swander over to Wa
terbury, but in the meanwhile Durant
wrote Eddie, who in his response
few more seasons in Glass A baseball
and believed the Waterbury fans
would tire of him.
Here is what the Springfield Union
says of the boom launched by the
New Haven papers to land the Elm
City in the Eastern league: Probably
the hardest hit town in the Connecti-
cut league circuit, on the first rumors
of the Eastern league dropping Mon
treal and substituting some other city
in the States, was New Haven. To
read the dope turned out by the writ
ers in the City of Films, it would be
hard to see how the Eastern league
moguls have happened to pass up
New Haven all these years. The an
nual talk of dropping the Canucks
from the circuit and substituting one
of a half dozen cities in their stead
brought a response from New Haven
that was chiefly characteristic for lbs
promptness. If one would believe the
stories, New Haven is anxious to
shake the Connecticut league and get
into an organization where 1t really
belongs. But even the glory of being
the best drawing city in the Nutmeg
circuit would not make it large
enough to class with the other East
ern league towns. Salaries that Own
er Cameron would be compelled to
pay to maintain team that would
rank with the other clubs in the Bar
rows circuit, would cut a big hole in
the profit that he now enjoys, even if
an increase in attendance be the re-
suit. In comparison with it's size, the
assertion is also made that New Ha-
ven is not the best drawing city in
the league and this is easy to see.''
Elmer Zacher, the former New Ha-
ven outfielder is anxious to get back
to Savin Rock. Since leaving New
Haven two years ago Zacher has been
with the New York and st. Louis
Nationals, and has now been turned
over to Chattanooga. He has written
Owner Cameron to find out If there
is any way Of him returning to the
Nutmeg circuit.

COUNTY GRANGE FAIR ON
THIS WEEK AT SNOHOMISH
Exhibits Many and Varied and Reflect Credit On
Snohomish County-Carpenters Union Has Booth
Which Will Be Permanent Fixture-Union Label
Display Interests Visitors--Fair Remains Open Up
To and Including Saturday Evening.

booth built by the Carpenters union of
an unfinished condition, but the struc-
ture will be permanent and no doubt
another year will find it creditably com
pleted There is some cabinet work
shown which displays the skill of the
trained artisan and indicates to the pass
erby the scope of the craft.
Readers of the Journal will be glad
to know that the women of the Label
League took advantage of this occasion
to do some effective propaganda for
unionism and the UNION LABEL, which
is labor's emblem of humanism. They
have a booth in which they have utilized
many of the banners and material used
in the aLbor Day celebration. Local
merchants generously loaned labeled
goods for display and no visitor gets by
this booth without getting generous
dose of education as to unfair shops
workings and sanitary conditions, sweat
shops and child labor. 1t is fitting in
deed that good supply of union made
cigars be shown here, since the Cigar
makers union is the father of the union
label During the agitation for Chinese
exclusion in 1874 unfair manufacturers
were employing coolie labor in certain
San Francisco shops. The work was
done in dirty rat shops, the product
being filthy and it was then that the
need was felt of some guarantee of sani-
tary working conditions, so the union
label was launched.
The management of the fair have ar
ranged for some football games and Sat
urday the game between the Everett and
Snohomish high schools which was to
have come off on Everett grounds will
be one of the attractions at the fair.
Taking it all in all the fair is a sue
cess and promises to become an estab
'lished event in the county-one to count
on and plan for each year.

The Snohomish County Fair opened
up Wednesday most auspiciously, ex-
hibits well in place, a splendid crowd of
visitors and everything pointing to the
success of the venture.
This fair, like many undertakings, had
its inception in a modest beginning. Two
years ago couple of women members
of the Grange suggested that Harvest
Festival be held, the suggestion met with
favor and was acted upon, netting most
encouraging results. The following year
it was repeated and again was a great
success, as the exhibits would rank with
any ever displayed anywhere in the
state.
The County Grange Fair ASSOCIATION
is the development of these two festi-
walls and now covers a much larger range
and is by no means limited to farm
produce. The association has purchased
site, put up commodious buildings and
the fair will compare favorably with
any given anywhere on Puget Sound.
The usual displays are in evidence
fruit, vegetables, flowers, domestic in
dustry and art, and the chicken exhibit
is probably one of the finest ever seen
in the state.
1t is safe to say that never before
has there been a fair of this nature in
which the school children have evidenced
so much interest and on every hand Wis
itors were heard to exclaim that the
Snohomish school exhibit was a remark
ably interesting one. This occupies six
booths, the departments of art, domestic
science and manual training being fee-
tured, which excited much favorable
comment. Undoubtedly much credit for
this display is due to Supt. c. w. Hodge
and Mrs. R A. Small, principal of the
Central school, both of whom are Grang-
ers and are taking an active interest in
the fair.
