By Billy Evans.

Practically every club IN the
American league will depend on
one of its. young twirlers this
year. A surprisingly good lot of
young pitchers was added to the
organization in 1911.
No pitcher has created a great
er sensation than Vean Gregg. In
his first year he recorded e vic
tories and would have made a
better record but for a bad arm.
Cleveland fans are worrying and
wondering if the injury will af-
feet Gregg's work in 1912. There
is no doubt that much of the
Maps success will hinge on the
showing of the sensational south
paw.
In Caldwell, New York ap-
pears to have wonder. He knew
little of big league ball last year,
but from the start showed much
ability. He improved each day
and when the season closed was a
high class pitcher.
Washington has a diamond in
the rough in Carl Cashiop. This
six-footer has the speed of John
son, good curve and a peculiar,
jerky delivery that has the batter
wondering when he intends to de-
liver the ball. Under the direc-
ton of Clarke Griffith, Cashion
should show big improvement.
Bob Wallace is sure Earl Ham
iIton will be star. Hamilton is
a southpaw with a variety of stuff
and nerve to burn. He is only 20,
SO it's only natural Wallace
should enthuse over him.

INFANT. CLASS HOPE OF EVERY TEAM IN BIG =
,-.. LEAGUE THIS YEAR =

Buck" O'Brien, who came
from Denver last fall and startled
the east by his work with the Red
Sox, looks like sensation for
1912. Boston is banking heavily
on him. e..
In Dave Danforth, from Texas,
Connie Mack has a kid southpaw
who seems to have the stuff to fill
the shoes of Eddie Plank; when
that veteran decides to step out
of them,
Big Ed LATTE, who showed
great form, early in the spring of
1911, is sure to be one of the De-
troit mainstays.
Chicago fans are hoping that
the work of Benz was not a flash
in the pan.
In the National league condi-
tons are the same. Chicago has
Cheney, who gives great promise.
Cincinnati looks for "Rube" Ben
ton to rival Vean Gregg. Bos-
tonians are sure, Perdue, will win
many a game. Brooklyn expects
Schardt to improve. Gotham
rooters are confident Marquardt
will be better than ever. Natural
ly Pittsburgers expect the $22, 500
beauty, Marty O'Toole,, to do
great things. Bresnahan thinks
Harmon will repeat On the
showing of Alexander largely
depends the chances of the Phil
lies. 49,.

Agnes Estella Queeney aged Is
years IL months, weeks and 2 days
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. John Queen
ey was born in Ottumwa. Iowa, Aug
3, 1894 and died July 10, 1912 in Den
yer Colorado, where her aunt. Mrs
Charlie Smith had gone with her for
her health and an extended visit with
her uncle F. A. Logan. She was only
sick a few days when God called her
home Mrs. Smith accompanied the
remains back to Ottumwa. She was 8
bright light hearted girl. To know
her was to love her. She was the
light OF her home, being the only child
Every thing was done that loving
hands could do to restore her health
but without success. She was ever
loyal to her master. She leaves to
mourn her death her mother Mrs. Eta
Fry. Her father departed to that
great world beyond Sept 16, 1905. Be-
sides her brokenhearted mother she
leaves a host OF friends and relatives
We sit in the shadow for while,
as relatives. and friends, because OF
the passing of this sweet pure life that
was ours to enjoy but brief time.
Though the time was short. 1t was
sweet, and though she can not come
back to us, we can all go to her and be
one unbroken family in heaven where
there will be naught but rejoicing.
The funeral was conducted by Rev.
Edward Priest at the home. The re-
mains were laid to rest in the OF.

sets Of telephones? They speak OF in
creased cost. Who wouldn't rather pay
the cost Of two telephones and have it
all in one than to be eternally dragging
from one to the other, where two COM
panies do business in the same town?
1t is to all large concerns we look for
good service. The Harvester company
handle the machinery business better
than the thousand and four little fist
nipping concerns that once used every
known trick to hold the trade. 1t
takes the Standard Oil company to
handle the OIL and all great aggrega-
tons handle the business more salts
factorily There are others to be salts
fled in the telephone field as well as the
Commercial association of Ottumwa.
All telephone centers are now fed by
lesser telephone companies. The bust
ness Of city telephone company Is
helped largely by the small companies
in surrounding towns. They are feed
ers the same as the branch roads are
to the main lines and should be con-
sidered in this merger business. All the
out of OttumWa companies want con-
solidetion and the small towns backed
by the farmers constitute a large slice
OF the revenue Of the city telephones.
We of Agency hope for the merger and
that as quickly as possible. Cut out all
silly tWaddle about poor service The
service will be all right. Don't worry
over the service.

Editor Courier:
What is the relation of liquor to
labor? "a full dinner pail was the
winning campaign cry in this country
few years ago. 1t was the politicians
appeal to labor. In that campaign labor
and liquor were allies, with labor's chief
enemy profiting chiefly from the VIC
tory which labor chiefly won. In these
reform days the relation of these fac
tors will go far toward the solution OF
these problems.
Liquor both deceives and robs labor.
1t claims to befriend labor while par
lying 1t; claims to assist labor while
ebauching 1t.
There is nowhere a workman at any
trade, or a scholar at any task, whose
hand Is more deft, whose skill is great
er. whose brain is more brilliant, and
whose product Is worth more to the
world because of the liquor he takes.
The drink habit offers no inducement
to toilers which is not deceptive, but
robs them of endurance as we'll as dol
lars, of character as we'll as cash, of
manhood as well as money.
It not only robs and deceives labor
but taxes labor without return A
large liquor trade compels correspond
ing ratio Of pauperism and crime. For
these labor must pay. Capital sf1irks
largely the burden, because it can hide.
and sneak away Mortgages eyade the
assessor; bonds are not always in evil
dence; the millionaire "swears Of his
personality and the poor mans house
and lot may not escape. on them he
pays tribute for protection and because
Of them he shares unduly the burdens
Of the state.
1t is declared and with sufficient ac-
curacy, no doubt, that there are $50, 900
accepted criminals in this country. and
they cost the people at least a round
billion Of dollars every year. The very
lowest estimate charges one-half of
this cost to intemperance, the curse
which Is the mother of crime, the gov
eminent statistician, is credited with the
assertion that for every dollar received
from the liquor traffic 1t costs this
country twenty-five dollars and half.
So liquor taxes labor, and labor pays
the tax, and gets no good from It, in
the field or at the forge, in the shop or
on the street, in head or hand, or health
or home. 1t is a tax utterly without
compromising returns. And all taxation
without return is robbery and tyranny.
And new revolution Is demanded
that labskr may win and hold It's own.
