This ought to be- easily accomplished
in part of one day. .. In York County
we raised in less than an hour plenty
to put the work through all over the
county. Every business house is
vitality interested in conditions being
bettered. Every dollar spent in this
work promises big returns, So aside
from its being incumbent on busi-
ness man to, help the farther, ON
whose trade he depends, it is to the
business mans direct interest to
help. Our canvassing for funds in
York County was the most pleasant
part Of the York committee's work.
/ Contributions were made chesrfully
and the committee was thanked for
calling. '"&'. 'e.!.
4. Ask your local papers to pub
lish the names of those subscribing
and the amounts. The newspapers
are invariably public spirited and
will gladly assist you in this and
other ways. "Cussing'' our news
papers is a habit the best of us fall
into at times. It also ought to be a
similar habit among us to confess
secretly il not openly that we can
always depend on them to help in
any public work. And the sub
scribers are entitled to such public
acknowledgment.
S. Raise enough money to pay
canvassers to.work the entire county
thoroughly. I would suggest one
canvasser to every two townships,
and it has proved best to select an
active and reliable man living in the
territory and in sympathy with the
movement. Here in York County

Horses, coIors and Prices.


The color Of horse has a consid-
cradle effect on the price Of carriage
horses in America, at least in the east
ern states. Horse dealers say that
since the introduction Of motors this
color prejudice has become more mark

and chestnut Is not far behind. Black
horses are very unpopular. They are
too much associated with funerals. or
course the prejudice against black does
not affect horses bred for business pur-
poses. Last of all in the public esti-
nation come the horses which gradu-
ate in color from dapple gray to milk
white. The whittier the horse the more
difficult 1t Is to sell. The reason Civ
en- Is that the hairs Of white horses
when they are shed show up on clothes
and on the cloth upholstery Of car
riages. 1t is more likely to be explain
ed by tradition or superstition.-Man

BILE. Boston has had a good ball club
for several seasons, but few bad trades
and injuries to several players put the
Sox out of the running for the pennant.
Under new leader the team should
make things mighty interesting. Stahl
will have the advice of Jimmy Nc
Aleer, formerly manager of the Wash
ington club and considered one Of the
brainiest men In baseball. Jake knows
the possibilities In Boston, for he was
the star first baseman Of the team in
1910. As 1912 possibility Boston
must probably be considered after New
York.
Chicago Is an uncertain proposition.
Jimmy Callahan may surprise the
knowing ones by keeping the White
Sox in the race all season. His great
est job will be to strike the right COM
bination Of players.
IN THE UNCERTAIN CLASS
Clark Griffith is the fifth new leader
in the Ban Johnson circuit, but little
can be expected of him. The material
is not there, and the writer cannot see
how Grit can possibly gather together
a winning combination before 1914.
st. Louis is not considered, because
the team is in the process Of upbuild-
ing still.
Detroit is an uncertainty. Many ex-
perts believe both Cleveland and New
York and possibly Boston will beat out
the Tigers. Ty Cobb told the writer
many times after the 1911 failure that

not be considered pennant contenders.
It Is difficult to say what new Amer

rather favor Harry Davis Of Clevc-

first baseman. They pointed to at
least twenty games which Delahanty
lost while playing the initial sack.
However, the Tigers pitching staff
seems most likely to be the drawback.
Nothing need be said about Mack's
champions. They are the class of the
American League and the world and
ought to romp home with the pennant
pulled up.
NATIONAL LEAGUE
In the National league the two new
managers are Hank O'Day, In Gin
cinnati, and Johnny Killing. In Boston.
| Neither has much chance for the pen
nant, although Hank seems to have
the brighter prospects. In many ways
the Reds are good team, but there
seems to have been lack Of winning
spirit In The past, due largely to the
peculiar conditions which exist In Gin
cinnati Boston may develop, but hard
ly fast enough to be pennant factor
during 1912.
1t is the managers who will start
their third or fourth campaigns In the
senior baseball organizations who are
expected to make the big fight. Bres-
nahan, in st. Louis, is beginning his
fourth season with good prospects.
Dahlen of Brooklyn is a third year
leader who may make some trouble.
Charley Doom is the man who 1t is
believed will be the successful man
ager in his third trial for the flag. The
Phillies, with a superb pitching star
and splendid fielding and batting
team, are looked upon as the genuine
dark horses"
New York looks best Of the three
teams with veteran managers. Nc
Graw drove his bunch through the
1911 season to victory, even though he
did not have what the majority Of the
experts considered the best club in
the National league. Even his worst
enemies admire McGraw's managerial
ability, and the Giants will always be
dangerous In the senior league cam

Chicago and Pittsburgh are looked
upon as about "all In" There are too
many veterans, who are bound to go
back sooner or later. Take Wagner,
Leach and Clarke away from the Pi-
rates and there is not pennant strength
left. Clarke has announced his deter
mination to quit active playing. but
few think him serious. Suppose the
Cubs were to lose Tinker and Sheck-
ard, with Brown and other veteran
pitchers. The three veterans named
cannot go on forever.
However, we must admit that Clarke
and Chance are managers who are pos

scarcely be eliminated from the limit
