FAME AND THE K|DD|ES
INCENTIVE TO BALL GAME
Democrats in Congress to
Play Republicans for Bene-
fit of Fairgrounds.

Capt. kinkead. representing a district
in New Jersey. is counting over his DEM
Ocratic ball players to see whether or not
he can muster nine men who will last
Yong enough on the ball field to wallop
nine republicans under Representative
Webb. who will captain that team. This

This year. IL all goes well. the CORE
spOndents in the press gallery will chal-
lenge the winning team to a base ball
duel, according to present bOasting, in or
der to swell the Fairgrounds fund with
the coin of those congressman who will
willingly give up a dollar to see their
newspaper friends die on third or be hi,
i'm the head with a nitched ball.
Correspondents Are Handicapped.
The trouble with the correspondents is
that they are accused of being better able
to throw the bull than to toss the ball.
James Preston, superintendent of the Sen
ate press gallery, has the names of thirty
and he figures that with ten more he may
be able to patch up a team that will last
nine innings. There are in the neighbOr-
hood of 200 correspondents in Washing
ton, which gives the democrats a large
advantage, as they would have 291 men
to choose from, while the writer's have it
considerably over the republicans, who
could not muster over 40
Easier Method Suggested.
Every time the politicians play ball,
some one says. it would be easier to ap-
propriate money for the Fairgrounds than
to play ball for their benefit. Stiff legs
and backs for three or four days always
follow this annual outburst, and this year
the progressives can sit back and laugh,
as their fifteen members will not be con-
sidered in this major league stuff except
as umpiring possibilities. Victor Murdoch
of Kansas, the Underwood Of the new
party, will be asked to arbitrate on the
fine points of the game.

LANCASTER, PA, April 2, 1913.
So far as can be judged by reports,
more 1909 tobacco has been sold re-
Gently than 1911 goods, but the prices
on both packings do not seem to be
satisfactory. In fact some of the prices
we have heard given lately would seem
to indicate slight scaling, which is
not agreeable to packers who have
warehouses full of goods for which
there is very small demand.
The same criticisms cannot be ap-
piled to the 1911 packing as were di-
rected at the 1909 goods, and yet there
is no demand for this tobacco. Nobody
knows why, except that no Pennsyl-
vania tobacco seems to be in demand.
If anybody can tell what is to be-
come of the unsold tobacco Of the 1912
crop he will be doing favor. The
packers were under the impression that
about Is per cent was as yet unsold,
but reports from the growers make the
amount greater, about 20 per cent, one
fifth of the entire crop, and this the
first of April The farmers now have
their spring work to look after and
t'help" is scarce, too, so that the ne
cessity of caring for their tobacco is an
actual burden to them. Very little has
been selling the past week, just crop
here and there, and the prices are
away down, five, six, seven and eight
cents, with some extra good at eight
and half cents Plenty of these crops
could have been sold a few months ago
for ten and half cents
