BASEBALL.

The Pleasantville Baseball Associa-
tion held a very harmonious meeting
last Friday evening in the club rooms
of the Pleasantville Musical and Ath-
letical Association, on the old turn
pike.
A complete set of bylaws for the
permanent organization was adopted
following which the regular election
of officers was held. Mr.. Edwin Wool
bert was reelected Manager for the
season of 1913 and the first President
of the new Association. Mr.. Ear
Sanders was elected to the Office OF
Vice-President; CliffordWilson, Treas
urer; and Roger Williams, Secretary
All elections were unanimous. A
schedule, attractive as usual, is being
arranged, and Captain Smith will is
sue the call for candidates and prac-

first game will be the first or second

w. C. T. u. NOTES.

Because of the entertainment to be
given on Thursday evening for the
benefit of the schools, the regular
meeting of the Union will be held on
Friday evening of this week. The
meeting will be in charge of Mrs. FL
izabeth Allen.
The promotion of our principles and
extension of w. C. T. U. work in the
missionary fields of the Worlds Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union
lies very near the great, generous
heart of our Worlds w. c. T. U.
President, the Countess of Carlisle.
Renewed evidence of this fact is Lady
Carlisle's gift of five hundred pounds
($2500) recently received by Mrs. L.
M. N. Stevens, Vice-President of the
Worlds w. C. T. u. and President of
the National w. C. 7. U.
Fifty years ago the men of the
North were marching to the front de-
termined to free the colored race
from slavery; and under the guidance
of an all-wise and universal Father,
they succeeded.
To-day there exists a slavery as
degrading and as detrimental to the
progress of our nation as the slavery
of the negro race ever was.
And does it not devolve upon the
women of this country to demand the
freedom of their sex? In this war
fare, it might be well to affirm, that
the "pen is mightier than the sword
and that God will answer the earnest
prayers of his daughters.
Statistics tell US that if we can OBJ
tain Prohibition throughout the Unit
ed States the attending evils would do
away with themselves.
Our National President in this
weeks issue of the Union Signal says:
"May we with the light of knowl-
edge and of truth dispel the darkness
of ignorance and of prejudice, and so
hasten the glad day when every home
shall be protected and when prohibi-
ton shall triumph in all the nation"
Without a record vote, but by an
overwhelming majority, the Senate
has passed the bill intended to pro-
hibit the shipment of intoxicating Ii
quors into States which have prohib-
ition laws, and thereby achieved the
greatest victory for the cause of tenn
perance that was ever won in the
Congress of the United States. For
the measure passed by the Senate on
Monday afternoon is the Webb bill,
which passed the House on Saturday,
and the legislation is, therefore, COM
plete, and will become law when the
president signs the measure. BY this
measure State officers may seize Ii
quor, even though part of inter
state commerce, if the liquor is to be
used in violation of State laws.

We have heard a citizen this
week made the remarks that it was
not necessary to remove the agri.
cultural school to Breaux Bridge
at q great expense, as the same
work could have been done here
as 10 done in Breaux Bridge. The
citizen told US that he saw Messrs
Schune Mulhsrin aud August Ma
raist blowing tho land, planting

berries and tomotoss aud neither
the Professor of Agriculture nor
the pupils were present to do the
work or see it done. If the idea
is to run the farm with pay labor,
it was just as easy and much

Spring Clipping Of Horses.

The modern practice among the best
posted and most progressive horse owners
and farmers is to clip all horses in the
spring. 1t is done on the theory that in
their natural state horses were not obliged
to work, SO could shed the winter coat in
comfort over u period Of several weeks.
Since we oblige them to do hard work on
warm spring days. the winter coat should
be removed for the same reason that we
lay off our heavy winter garments. Clipped
horses dry of rapidly, hence they do not
take cold as easily nor are they as prone
TO be affected with other ailments as un.
clipped animals whose longer hair holds
the perspiration for hours. Because clipped
horses dry of rapidly they rest better, get
more good from their food and come out
in the morning refreshed and fit for work.
Since the advent OF the ball bearing en-
closed gear clipping machine, the work OF
waxing off the winter coat is easy. With
the machine n horse can be clipped all over
In half an hour, whereas with the old two
hand clipper it required several hours to
do It.
Dairymcn also now clip the cows all
over two or three times year. The TANKS
and uddcrs are clipped every three or four
weeks, SO It is easy to clean the parts be.
fore milking. This means less opportunity
for dirt and other impurities to get into
the milk.

Miner Browns Leg,

Miner Brown, whose wonderful
pitching helped the Cubs to win pen
nants and worlds championships, is
just now providing one of the most
interesting cases in the history Of pro-
fessionaI baseball He Is under con-
tract, and is training with the Gin
cinnati Reds. in an attempt to come
back. Oddly enough, there is nothing
the matter with Browns pitching; in
fact. he never had lame wing in his
long and strenuous career in tho box
But the three-fnGered hurler was
compelled to give ny pitching early
last year because his left knee was
injured sliding TO "a base in game
in which he wore Cub uniform Al
though Brown APPARENTLY recovered
from the injury, SO that he could
walk and run without limp, he found
that when he tried to pitch 1t was i'm
possible to get the proper stride in
delivering the ball to the batsman
For several weeks Brown was con-
fined to the house with his knee en-
cased in n plaster cast Later he was
permitted to walk on clutches. and a
week before it was time to report at
the Reds camp he was allowed to
move about with an ordinary adhesive
baudage on the troublesome limb
Since putting ON a uniform at the
camp Brown has been under orders
To proceed slowly His arm is as
strong IS ever, and he is hr!stling with
enthusiasm as he seems to feel no
pain. It is Tinkers plan 10 keep a
tight pull on Brown until the warm
weather sets in, when ne believes that
the great twirler VIII surely recover
his best form.
