Better Year in Business

There were IS failures less of
business and industrial houses on
the Delaware and Maryland penin-
sula in 1911 than there were in 1910,
and the liabilities of those who fail
ed in 1911 were S23. 100 less than of
those who failed in 1910. There
were So failurs in 1911 in the terri
tory comprising the peninsula, ac-
cording to the annual statement of
r. G. Dunn & Co. The liabilities
were $295, 982 and the assets were
$146, 1877. Of the failues % were in
Delaware 20 less than the preced-
ing year, 20 were on the eastern
shore of Maryland, and in the two
counties of Virginia. In this ter
ritury there are $500 merchants.
The report also shows that the
white potato crop and the fruit crop
on the peninsula were complete
failures, that business in many lines
was dull throughout the year.

Big Price For Sweet Potatoes

The growers of sweet potatoes
who resid in the belt of Kent county
between Harrington and Viola, and
eastwards toward Frederick, have
struck it rich in sweet potatoes this
year. They had a very good crop
and at digging time the price
tempted most growers to sell for
the 80 cents per basket offered,
which is equivalent to about 60 cents
per hushel from the tubers from the
field. But in the districts referred
to the growers are equipped with
large storage houses, and, disregard
ing the tempting prices they put
their crop into storage, and just be-
fore Christmas they shipped scores
of car loads from Harrington, Eel
ton, Viola and by the steamboats,
from Milford and Frederick, for
which they have received clear ot
all expenses, from 81. to 81. 25 pei
bushel. At these prices sweet po'
tatoes are paying the growers ovel
800 per acre for each acre grown.

PLAYERS GET MORE, BUT
THERE'S A REASON FOR IT
One Of Them Is That the Owners Make
Many Times as Much Money as
They Made in Tebeau's Day.

Since Jimmy McAleer. the new manager
Of the Red Sox. came out with the state
ment that the big league clubs of today
carry too many players and that they are
also pampered too much the question has
been much discussed.
Jimmy in his statement tells Of the time
he was playing unedr Pat Tebeau in a
Cleveland uniform. The team only had
eleven men on it's roster and was in the
light for the pennant every moment OF
the time. Today he says that team
has to have twenty players on Its roll to
be In the fight for q moment and then
they have to use pitchers In the Outfeld
or outhelders In the infield some Of the
time.
He lays this to the fact that the men
are pampered too much. That they have
ceased to be ball players They are atl,-
Ietes In the old days the players took
hardly any care Of themselves. Today
they keep themselves In the best Of cundi-

good
1t is hard to understand how base ball
club like st. Louis, which should be grab
bing at every straw in an effort to better it
self, allows five; ball players of the caliber
of those sent by Detroit to Providence
last week to get out of the league. The
players had to be waived on before they
could be transferred and so FAR as known
the Detroit club did not experience the
slightest difficulty in getting the consent
of all the other clubs. True, none OF
them may be stars and vet they would
improve tail-end team like the Browns,
where they may have been useless to the
Tigers.
With playing material as scarce as it
is, it seems like very poor policy for a
tail-end club to waive on material of this
kind. II II took it over only to make
some sort of advantageous trade, 1T would
be gain. but ii is in base ball like in
many other Things. the weak are con-
stantly helping the strong, when justf the
reverse ought to be the case.
That a ma jority of the patrons of the
game here should feel dubious about ,ifl
Cunningham being assigned to second
base for the Nationals is but natural. and
yet it would be serious mistake to pass
that player UP without another trial.
There is no denying the fact that on the
whole his WORK last season was not up
to the standard. 1t was not even encOur-
aging. but for all that Cunningham would

full playing strength In the feld for a
weeks stretch.
This may be true, but base ball today
has reached far greater degree Of per-
lection than in the days that McAleer
speaks of. They get more pay than the
old-timers, but the clubs owners also
make many times as much as the old
owners did. So they can afford to pay.
As for taking care OF themselves. the
ball players Of today make the game q
life's profession. or try to. The diamond
stars OF today include some men who have
q college degree. They do not follow the
profession they studied for because they
can earn more in the diamond game. They
want to stay in the game as long. as pos
sible. While they do mot love the sport
any less than the old-timers. business
thought also enters into the game. The
club owners make fortunes by their eff
forts, why should the players not get the
good OF it? And the managers are willing
to pay. So, as long as both parties are
satisfied the players will continue TO take
care OF themselves and the owners 70
pamper them.
