Cnrnotate Greed

The dstrust and wave Of dissatisfaction
that is sweeping this country, is largely
caused by the men who control large
affairs. 1t has proven that as soon as
most corporations get control ofany part
OF business exclusively as they think,
andthe people loose control they then
begin to show the spirit that they possess.
We do not need to 90 outside of our little
city to see what is doing The w. Va. 9.

just because they think they can do SO.
They never have endeavored to bring
any money into our town, atSall. / think
they have three men now employed here,

the money away possible. We have lost
differ tent enterprises on account of not
being able to compete with cheap fuel Of

is hard to excel, but the fuel problem has
kept the king of enterprises away that we

would not objected seriously to the raise
in gas, if they would put commercial gas
so we could have gotten manufacturers
here. But to extract every drop Of financial
blood out OF the people, and nothing in

Maggert Says He

Former Spr ngfield Player Agrees to be Good For Connie

Harl Maggert, whose refractory an- tics while a member of the Oakland club caused his downfall. is spending the winter months at Fl Centro, in the Imperial valley, says the San Francisco Bulletin. HarI is a prom inent figure in the Ell Centro ball club and reports from the Mexican border indicate that his bat is playing an important role.
 Maggert realizes the foolhardiness of his actions last season and the wrong he did Wolverton. Harry treat ed Maggert like prince, but he in Ietul n subjected his manager to sleep less nights and ceaseless worry until matters reached a climax, the finish being a protracted term of suspeII- sion.
 Harl is repentent and anxious to atone for his past misdemeanors. With the inception of the new year Maggert resolved never to let his tenn per get the better of him and to abide by the club rules to the best of his ability. -M
 Maggert received his contract from Connie Mack and penned -his signature immediately. The terms were perfect ly satisfactory to Maggert- He win report to Mack in sound condition.
 If Maggert will strictly adhere to his new years resolve he will be a valuable man for Connie. Mack's out ft Maggert has the ability. Few p1 yers in the Coast league last sea- son had anything on him.

BatchelIer tive by 30 to O. In the first period the match was fairly even but in the second stanza it developed into a massacre. The Elm City girls romped about the floor and took shots at the basket whenever they felt inclined Miss Daniels and Miss Doherty were the stars for the visitors. They were good at passing and deadly in shooting Miss Fitzgerald also proved a good shot. A big crowd saw the game
 The local girls tried hard but plain ly showed they were not SO experf- enced as their rivals They had very poor aim when chances to score pre- sented themselves. Miss Maloney ana Miss Grant did the best work The score:

 It looks as if Bridgeport has picked the youngster McCann signed for the coming season. The Lynn, Mass, Item says of the player: Frank ORourke who played third base for mighty good, has signed to play in Bridgeport in 1912. O'Rourke was sent to Lawrence by Joe Harter. Manager Pieper was in hopes of getting O'Rourke for another trial"
 .. Charlie Schmidt, the former Holyoke pitcher, has developed into a crack first baseman with the Baltimore cub. at big increase in salary.
 As forecasted in these columns last week, Dick Nallin has landed a job as umpire in International League. President Barrow has just announced his appointments and NaIlin is in the hard to fiji NalIin's place on the Con necticut League staff. Harry Howell, the old Meriden pitcher and later wi h St. Louis. is also on the International staff
 The news that Frank Gygn is to re- turn as first baseman of the New Ha- ven club is about as welcome as the Some rooter wrote to the New Haven Register protesting against the return of Gygi, who he says is a poor fielder and an ordinary batter.
 Forfeits have been posted for the ap- pearance of the boys who will be the main contestants in the boxing show at Eagles hall, January 16. Barney Green, manager of Young Cohen, sent his check yesterday and the forfeits for Al Ketchel and Young Bosse were also posted. Dodo Maher, who will meet Ketchel, posted his money sew eraF days ago. The boxers will weigh in at 5 o'clock on the afternoon of the show. The fans think the go between Young Cohen and Young Bosse will be a corker, and they also expect some excitement when Ketchel and Maher clash.

Frank ORourke, New Bridgeport ShonstOp,
 Praised by Lynn Sporting Writer

Manager Tom Connery of Hartford, has signed John Kunkel, third base man who played in the South AtlanIic League last year. Cassett, who has been grabbed by Hartford, is the same outfielder who was given a trial by New Britain when Dan O'Nel bossed the outfit.
 President O'Rourke in an interview in the Hartford Courant, this morning, says he has an umpire in view who stands 6 feet 2 and weighs 25O. If he merely mentioned 250 pounds he might mean Lanigan. who worked here last season, but Lanigan stands 2 feet 6 instead of feet 2.
