there wasn't an earthly thing doing

Manager Smith is looking for

isn't out for practice Wednesday

Manager Smith has the diamond
in excellent condition, lockers have
all been assigned, uniforms are
ready for distribution, vast supply
of bats and balls are on hand-all
that Smith needs now is few
more ball players. At present Os-
born is the only man on the job.
Smith has some hopes for this
chap. OF course normally Osborn
is slated for Macon. but Smith
likes his looks so we'll that he is
going to try him out. The man
can either pitch or play first base,
but as the Crackers first sack is
well looked out for he will be tried
here only as a pitcher. Smith says
he has a peck of speed and if he
can control it be win be worth d

that contended for the worlds

as full of lemons as a prohibition

proved that-if proof were need

that won because of a. few stars or
because Of strength in one or two
departments.
Let's plow back through the rec
ords. 1t will probably encourage
US 10 face the coming season with
equanimity. for it will show us the
sort of teams that have won the
rags. Let's take them year by
year:
D BIRMINGHAM won the pennant
- in 1912, thanks to good luck, the
absence of injuries, because of the
work of three good pitchers, the
heavy hitting of two infielders and
one outfielder, the nerve -racking
base stealing of one man, and still
more because the men played with
a spirit and determination sell
dom equsied on professional
team.
MolesWorth's team last year went
strong, and few men were sick or
hurt. FoXen, Boyd and Smith
pitched good ball McGilvrsy and
Almeida batted We'll, and Johnson
hit hard and stole bases like a yegg-
man. Barring six men, the outfit
was mediocre.
IF ever there was a four-man
team, the Pelican pennant win
ners of 1911 were 1T. Butcher.
Kirke, Manush and Hess were the
four. When you look over the rest
of the lineup you marvel that the
team led the league from the first
of May to the end of the season.
The rag was won with four men
and no more.
Butcher and kirke were the only
hitters. though Callahan was slug
ging pretty well. Johnston and Ma
nush were handy men in the in
Ral StIy
fielding. Butcher, Barr. Callahan
and Doane formed anything but a
brilliant outfield. Hess, Klawitter.
Breitenstein and Frazier did most
of the pitching and Hess was the
only real man in the lot.
nNE man won the pennant for
~ New Orleans in 1910, and that
man was Joseph jackson. the
shoeess wonder. He was assisted
by Marush. Hess and Breten-
stein. OF this trio, Hess was the
only real star.
Never was worse team for bal
ance. Manush was the only star
of the indeld, Rome and DeMontre-
vile being on their last legs. and
Lindsay never was ball player
In the outheld, there was jackson,
and th1J was all, for Wcimer was
frost and Butcher wasn't having
good year Breitenstein was
having the last good year Of his
career and he helped out Hess.
The only other pitcher on the staff
was Paige. who was only a mod
crate winner considering that he
was on q pennant- winning team.
Virtually 1t was Joe Jackson's pen
nant.
THE famous team Of Smith and
Smith (5iI and Sid, assisted
by the resurrected for the occasion
hurlers, Fisher and Johns, and the
heavy work of Jordan, won Atlanta
the pennant of 1909.

Allen for Farmers.
Senator Allen explained that 100000
worth of farm products is sold annual
~ al the back door of the Maine insane
hospital. If the State auditor, if this
act gives him discretionary power. did
not deem ii proper to pay out a thous
and dollars at time, where would
the money to pay these bills come
from?" asked the speaker. He. for his
part, did not feel like cutting off the
outlet the kennebec farmers have for
their produce.
There is just one way to do business
and that is to do it right, said Sena-
tor Boynton of Lincoln. The farmer
should leave his products. with an ite-
mixed bill, and that bill should be
turned over to the proper State officers
for payment. Any business man would
want all his bills audited before he paid
them. And | will make this predic-
tion.' said he, that if any one of the
members af this Legislature shonld
take $4,000, 900 and try TO run the State
institutions as they have been run I'M
At without becoming bankrupt.
Senator Allen was assured by Sena-
tor Richardson that the amendment
was provided to care for the farmer,
upon a direct question from the Sena-
tor from Kennebee who stated that his
purpose was 10 care for his eonstitu-
ents in this matter.
Senator Bailey called for the ques-
ton.
Senator Coles motion to place on the
table was lost
Senator Dutten arose to express de-
sire that nothing he had said in the
heat OF discussion be construed as re-
lection upon the Legislative commit
tee.
The Senator then voted against his
notion: House amendment a was
lhen adopted and the bill passed to be
engrossed.
