Editorial Opinion
M1LrnN ANN lis wATERWoRKs.

From the Milton Times.
Somewhat over two years ago the
people of Milton, by an overwhelming
majority, voted in favor OF waterworks.
The Legislature last winter was petit
eioned for permission to issue bonds for
that purpose II is reported, however,
that some of the members of Council
are opposed to waterworks, regardless
of the wish of the people, and from the
fact that only a little more than hall
of the bonds have been subscribed, 1t IS
reported that the above opposition has
been used to that end. Many taxpayers
are wondering why the project was not
stalled before Council went to the ex-
pense of employing the engineer, adver-
tising for bids. etc. This is an instance
of where conservatism doesn't mean
economy or wisdom, and there are
others. SO for the present at least
waterworks is dream; and it may be
true that it is a burden which the tax
payers are not equal to. If so, the pro-
iect should stop where it is, but we
feel sorry for the town.

DELAWARE STATE FAIR.

From the Smyrna News.
It is estimated that over $4,000 per-
sons attended the Delaware State Fair
held in Wawaset Park Wilmington,
this week. Finer weather could not
have been ordered by the Wilmington
Chamber of Commerce, and everybody
that could accepted their invitation to
Delaware's biggest fair. II served the
very useful purpose of bringing the peo-
pie Of the Peninsula and those of the
neighboring states together and making

OWEN MORAN AND DRISCOLL
 FIGHT DRAW

London. Jan. 28-Before one of the largest crowds that ever packed the National Sporting Club, Jem Driscon, the British featherweight champion, and Owen Moran of Cardiff, Wales, fought twenty rounds to a. draw last night. The match was for the title, and it proved to be fast battle throughout.
 Both men started out for a win as soon as the first ,clang of the gong sent them on their way, but they were so evenly matched that it was inn possible to decide between them at the finish.
 The battle proved to be one in which cleverness as well as stamina was necessary. and both boys showed they were entitled to rank with the top notchers in their division. Though the fighting was furious at all times neither of the boxers was badly pun ished at the end The men weighed in early in the afternoon and neither one moved the beam at 126 pounds.
 It is said DriscolI is likely to go to America soon for match with Johnny Kilbane. lem has been in the States before, and met Abe AtteIl on Febru- ary 19, 1909, in New York.

CLEANING co
TROY, "CoLLEGE CITY" HAS LONG BEEN PROMINENT rg
 ORGANIZED BASEBALL

One of the most prosperous Of the minor baseball organizations is the New York State League, which, after a previous precarfous career, was re- organized at a meeting of the mag mates held in Troy twenty-two years ago today. Jan. 28, 1891. Everybody knows that Troy supplies most of the collars worn by the men of Amerfca. but it will surprise many fans to learn that Troy was long a major league city on the baseball map. The Trojans were among the first to take up base ball, and when the National Associa- ton of Baseball Players was organized in 1S58 the Collar City was represeuf- ed. The first professional team in Troy was known as the ~Haymakers," and included many stars. Some his torians of the game aIIege that the Haynakers aggregation was the first to turn professional. although the Gin cinnati Red Stockings seem to have a prior claim. Among the early games played in Troy was the famous com Red Stockings, in which the latter team was victorious by a score Of 38 to 31. Another great contest was that in 1871 between Harvard College and the Trojans, when the professionals were huHbledi tel abeotH3e of I g to G. The famous peayersso6 ffln e f45a yHaa-2rers at that time included McMui1en, one of the best twirlers of that day. Mo Geary, star catcher; York, consider ed the greatest of outfiefders. and Fisher, who was unbeatable at hrat base. The Haymakers were paid reg ular salaries, and in this were almost unique, as most of the other profes- siona1 clubs shared in the gate money. When the National Association was formed in 1871. Troy was a member. as it was in 1872, but the Trojans dropped out the following year. Jn 1879, three years after the organize ton of the National League, Troy was given a franchise, the other club rep resenting Boston, Providence, Syra- cuse, Buffalo, Chicago, Cincinnati and Cleveland. Troy remained In the ma jor league throughout the season of 1880. although Syracuse was replaced by Worcester, and continued in the circuit until the end of the 1882 sea- son. when both Troy and Worcester were dropped, and New York and Philadelphia, were admitted. That marked the finish of Collartovn as a major league city, and it has since had to be content with minor league ball

We depIore the sappy, eliminate element which seems to be creeping into this twen- tieth century atmosphere Perhaps this is an era of pink teas and wine and game dinners, when men shirk Instead of occasionally participating in the rougher things of life.''

 Jack Murray had a conference with McGraw yesterday, and after the chat the out1elder said he was pleased with the bargain he had struck with McGraw.
 Murray said he was no holdout and that McGraw had agreed to his terms. Jack did not say he was dissatisfied with his contract, but evidently thought his work last season, partIc- ularly his great stunts in the .WoFids 8 Series, entitled him to a little higher salary than McGraw had intended to pay him. McGraW, however, was will soning and was satisfied to coInpro- mise.
 Red Jack returned to his home in Elmira last night and says his con tract will be received in the Giants headquarters within a few days
 McGraw was glad to hear that two of his prize youngsters-Heinie Groh and Al Demaree-had scribbled their John Hancocks on New York con- tracts and forwerded them to Secre- tary Foster. McGraw thinks well of these youngsters, if Demaree can be called kid.

FREDDIE WELSH
 TO SEEK MATCH
 WITH RITCHIE SOON

According to Freddie Welsh, the English lightweight champion and self-styled worlds champion, he is about to honor this country with his presence again. When Welsh was here last there was no %2cat demand for his services. Just before sailing away he spent some time in New York without obtaining a match. Perhaps it will be different now that he has regained his old title He states that a match with Willie Ritchie is his main object in making the trip. Ap- parently he comedies that Ritchie is worthy of some attention even though the Englishma4 signs himself worlds S champion" But whether Ritchie will feel highly fla,ttered at this conde- scension and inlm mediately drop his the atricaI engagem ents. to do battle with his old rival may be said to be doubt full
 At that the Englishman can make out a good case for himself when it comes to an argument as to who has the best right to tackle Ritchie. Welsh has a decision over the Californian to his credit sure enough and it be- hooves the latter to wipe that bIemish of the slate. Possibly he will be will ing enough to try if sufficient induce ments are offered. It was HnIy by the narrowest of margins that Welsh won, although Ritchief was little more than a novice at the time. Now that he has gained considera ble experience nd the confidence that goes with a title he will be a different proposition as Welsh will probably find out.

CONNIE MACK
 HOPEFUL OF
 WINNING FLAG

Philadelphia, Jan. 2S-Strong in the belief that he will win the pennant this season, Connie Mack has broken his usual silence to tell why he thinks his Athletics will finish first in the American League race. Mack says:
 T am going to make a hard fight for the pannant this season and be- Heve that my team has the strength to bring it here. I think the Ath- 1etics this year are stronger than the team which won the Worlds Cham pionship in 1910 and 1911.
 Accidents, trades, the discovery of new phenoms and the collapse of stars, all affect a pennant race. You nev- CT can tell what will happen, but on form we should not be beaten out In 1912 the pennant was conceded to us by every manager in the American League, but when the season closed We were a poor third.
 We lost last year because of the accidents to Murphy and Barry, the slump in our outfield and the defec- tion of two pitchers. We cannot guard against accidents, but I have mended both our pitching staff and outfield and for the first time in many years I will have an outf1eld in which I will have great confidence.
