SIGNALS TO THE PITCHER.
Catcher Robinson Kept His Secret For
Twenty Years.


There was one catcher who worked
a long time before any one caught his
signals. That was Wilbur Robinson.
He backstopped twenty years without
ever having an opposing player dis
cover what he was signaling for.
One day st. Louis was playing Balti-
more. Robinson was catching for the
Orioles. Harry Kane. a St Louis
pitcher. was lying on the bench while
his team was at bat. Kane suddenly
sat up. he said he could see Robin
sons signs. Joe Sugden was with st.
Louis. Sugden crawled over to where
Kane had been. He could plainly see
Roblnsons signs He interpreted the
system 10 few moments and put the
st. Louis coacher wise.
Sugden. lying on the bench. used
program for a fan. When Robinson
signaled for a fast ball Sugden waved
the program aud the man on the coach
ing line yelled. Come on!" TO the bat
ter Any time Robinson asked for
curve Sugden lowered the fan and the
coacher yelled mail itr' to the batter.
Robinson knew they were getting the
signs, but he could not guess how. And
the funny part of 1t was that St Louis
after getting Robinson's signs after
every other club he played against had
failed to get them was beaten by Bal
timora

Primary Defeats.

The failure of the present legisla-
ture to pass a primary law will not
tend to increase the esteem in which
il is or will be held The Republicans
the Democrats, and the Progressives
all were in favor of the primary be-
fore the campaign, although the Re
publicans perhaps did not go so lar
as did the other parties. But despite
the fact that there was supposed TO
be an all around leaning toward this
new piece of nominating machinery,
the legislature has seen fit to put to
death each and every primary meas
ure that has come before 1t.
For this situation Vermont has
more 10 thank her antiquated system
of government which makes the town
the political unit, than any other
cause. The cry that a real primary
law would tend to weaken the power
now held by the town was enough to
set the representatives from small
places all at sea. and they thought
they were finding safety only in vot-
ing to hold fast to the present caucus
primary law.
In other words the Republican par
ty. full and by. ought not to be CEN
sured too much for the failure to
pass primary legislation. II was up
against a situation for which il was
not responsible. in a measure. al
though % admitted that this may
seem weak excuse. The farmer
representative, listening TO the insinu
alton of the lobbyist, thought. his
town was in danger and he voted to
kill the bill. This was the case, not
alone in the Republican, but also in
the Democratic and the Progressive
party
The Bennington Banner thinks
that the failure to pass legislation in
this direction is more than likely TO
defeat the republicans in the next
election. The Messenger, if it may
take the liberty to suggest such an
opinion as against that of The Ban
ner. thinks differently. There may
be more in the observation OF the es-
teemed contemporary than shows IL
self on the surface, which the devel
opments OF time may reveal. so
long as the towns are OF the opin-
ion that they will suffer politically
il a direct primary is passed the vot-
ers Of those towns will not turn
against the party that saved them
And voters In the cities must recog-
nize that certain measures OF re
form come slowly because OF the I'M
democratic form Of government ex-
listing in Vermont-St Adams Mes
senger.

WON'T ANNOUNCE CABINET
Public to Hear from Wilson When
He Sends Names to Senate.

Princeton, N. j., Feb. 12.-There
Will be no announcement
of the Cabinet on Thursday,
as was predicted by some news
papers. So, at any rate. Gov. Will
son said today when asker about it,
He added that there will be no an
nouncement at all, and left it to be
inferred that the first the public
would hear about it would be when
the nominations were sent in to the
special session of the Senate that
will convene directly after the inau
guration. In fact, direct questions
on that subject brought forth answ-
ers that would make such a conclus-
ion inevitable.
Nevertheless, as announced in
The Times this morning, the Cover
nor will have his Cabinet virtually
complete by the end of this week,
with the exception of the Attorney
Generalship and one or two other
places, including the Department of
Labor
The Governor received in silence
the information that he had been Off
cially elected President of the United
States through the balloting in the
House of Representative today.

BENNINGTON, VT, FEB. IA, 1913
The correspondent of one of tn,

The correspondent of one of the
Montpelier papers, who located
Darkest Vermont" in Essex county,
the location presumably being made
at range of about 80 miles, north
east by north, evidently believed
that he had picked the scene for his
narrative far enough away from the
centers of population to avoid con-
tradiction. The assertion of the
long distance discoverer that in some
of the unorganized towns no man
dare attempt to collect the taxes is
denied by the official whose bust
ness it Is to turn these assessments
into the public treasury. The north
east corner of the state is sparceiy
populated but the chances are that
the people are fully as law-abiding
and intelligent as many of the resi-
dents living within sight of, if not
under the direct rays of arc lights.

Modern manufacturing methods
have in great measure eliminated
the personal element. Almost every
thing is now turned out in big fac
tories in quick time and there is lit
tie variation in type. Occasionally,
however, an item in the newspapers
brings back memories of the days
when the small manufacturer was
more numerous than at the present
time and when the individuality of
the maker was guarantee of excel
lence. An instance of this nature
came to public notice with the report
ed death at Springfield, Mass, this
week of Warren w. Bean, a lifelong
resident of Randolph, at the age of
seventy-seven years. He was a
sleigh maker and the product of his
little factory, which was in opera
ton for nearly half a century can be
found in most of the towns in the
northern half of the state. The
Bean sleighs, so-called. have ac-
quired reputation for excellence
wherever they have been used. The
concentration of business is inevitable
Without it much of the progress of
the last fifty years would not have
been accomplished, but the passing
of the small factory owner who took
as much pride in the quality Of the
product he turned out as in the
amount of money he made, is some
thing to be regretted.
