BREEZY NOTES CONCERNING
 LOCAL SEMI -PRO PLAYERS

After occupying the cellar position in the league all season the Birdsey & Somers crawled out on the last day of the season. In passing we must call attention to the increased strength of the Birdsey team. Had the pres ent team been in the race from the start the standing might have been different.
 The only interest left in the City league is whether the Brooksides beat out the Nationals in the league stand ing.
 Rosenpany, though batting the cover off the ball in the City league is hitting only about .150 in the h. dustrial league.
 Many are> wondering as to whether Jack Eagan is going back or not. Certainly his catching this season has not been up to his former standard and his hitting, although fair in the City league is wretched in she Indus trial. It may be that the fans have rated him so high that they notice the slightest falling off. It will be remembered that few seasons ago Laubscher was rated as a wonder. He struck a slump and was thought to have gone back. This season with out the former notice he has come to the front as one of the best in the city,

Its Great Success Continues.

We are glad to hear that the Tyler

meet with great success, and that its
January attendance has been the largest
in the history of the school.
This institution has as its head thor
oughly experienced business man. He
has not only had twenty years expe-
rience in handling commercial schools,
but has had much valuable business ex-
perience in other lines, and is to-day
identified with number of Texas great
est business enterprises. Our people
realize that a thorough business training
comes from one who possesses business
ability and business experience. This is
proven by the fact that this institution
is the largest school of Bookkeeping,
Business Training, Shorthand, Type
writing and Telegraphy in America.
They use their own specially prepared
text books in almost every department.;
text books prepared from the standpoint
of what the business world demands,
rather than that of the theoretical school
room. Some merchants are able to dc
twice the business Of others, with the
same capital invested. This is due tc
the difference of the methods of the two
men. The same is true of business col
leges. The reason that one secures q
larger patronage, gives more thorough
training, places more of it's graduates
into high salaried positions is because
of its superior methods.

The Good Government forces have won
a glorious victory, second to none in the
State, excepting that over the lottery
Mr.. Michel's ma ority in the city of New
Orleans was only 7786. His country vote
was small, and had the campaign lasted
four weeks longer he would have perhaps
been the third man in the race. Judge
Halls plurality was large. In fact he
lacked only about seven thousand votes of
being nominated. Last Saturday night
Mr.. Michel withdrew from the race, giving
out such announcement to his official
organ, the New Orleans Picayune. Judge
Luther E. Hall will be the States next
Governor and tie rights of the people will
be restored. The New Orleans machine,
Governor Sanders ring and the corrup-
tionists have been squelched. The people
have been victorious. A hard fought and
noble victory has been won. January 80
1912, was glorious day throughout ou'
State and the result of its primary election
will help make the States history and the
State more glorious.
