MISSIvES FROM MISTLETOE

The meloncolic days have
come.
c. A. Sperling is assisting Joe
Carter in gathering his maize
and kafir this week.
Tom Sperling and wife visited
her sister, Mrs. Townley, near
MARROW, over Sunday.
A protracted meeting is being
held by the Methodist brethren
at the Cannon school house.
Mr.. Whitwell, who has been
very sick the past several days,
was able to be out to Sunday
school last Sabbath.
Earnest Montgomery broke his
thresher last week at Tom Lakes
oat stack, but is at work once
more, after few days lost time.
Sunday school was not quite
up to its usual standard last
meeting day, owing to too much
celebration and too little Sab
bath conscience.
Since Jim Lake learned that
Arthus Smith, the aviator. won
his bride and escaped with her
in his aeroplane, he he's been
raving" for an air-ship.
Millard Richardson was able
to take spin" in DR.. Candles
car to visit his father Saturday.
Thanks to the ministeering and
medical knowledge of our friend,
the Doctor.
Wonder how that 'nigger"
Patterson feels since Gore, Scott
Ferris, and the rest of our white
political phenomena have landed
him in the ''junk-heap" of shat
tered ambition?
Nearly everybody from this
vicinity, who could muster fifteen
cents for a red lemonade and q
hamburger" went to the great
celebration at Lawton. 70 our
mind, either the parade, Senator
Cores speach, or the aviator's
flight was worth the trip, to say
nothing of the many other at,
fractions.
Mr.. Hendricks is now ready
to fill his silo; but we fear he
will experience a derth of water
to soak up his burned fodder,

ident Robertson at Elgin wher

the cheer masters fell fiat-in Chi
cago at least. The harder the leaders
OF the rooters worked the more apa-
thetic the crowds became. 1t was an
interesting phenomenon and / set out
to discover the reason. The first
bleacherite l met solved the problem.
Dem guys amt on de square" he
said "Usuns out in de bleachers
don't want to rob nobody"
There was the solution. No matter
how partisan a baseball fan may be-
come, or how wild in his desire to see
the home team win, deep down he
wants fair play, and, after time, he
will insist upon it. The rooters' clubs
died.
There are few OF the noted fans
now, chiefly because the papers sell
dom mention them. Perhaps they ex-
ist. In the old days almost every
club had one or two such followers.
Probably the best known was "Hi

Boston, who for many years followed
the fortunes of the famous old Boston
club. He Is wealthy, intellectual and
cultured gentleman who became
completely absorbed In baseball He
followed the team wherever 1t went
and became a familiar figure all over
the country. He occupied a front
seat in the stands, kept careful
score and studied the game with a
seriousness that was appalling. He
maintained a deep silence during al
most all the game. but when really
great play was made he emitted two
sharp staccato barks "Hi! Hill" and

the National league players last year
when they saw the wonderful Brush
stadium was that the crowd could not
make itself heard on the field as 1t
did in the old stands. The Polo
grounds crowd is odd. Somehow
fans who occupy box seats either are
not as rabid as those in the cheaper
seats or they are on their good be-
havior, and fringe of box seats is
an effective shield for players.
Strangely enough the crowds on the
New York American league park, al
though quite as noisy, are much fair.
er, than the crowds at the Polo
grounds.
One would think that visiting play
ers would like to play on grounds
where the home team is unpopular
through defeat or other causes, but
they do not. They rather resent the
home crowd abusing the home men.
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1913-06-13

In Cincinnati, Brooklyn and Washing
ton, during most of the season, the
crowds are bitterly sarcastic toward
the home teams, although the Brook
lyn crowds are decent except on Sat
urdays. st. Louis affords a queer
study of the crowds. When the
Browns are at home the crowds are
ugly and vent their temper upon the
players, yet half a dozen blocks away,
on the rival park. there assemblies a
crowd wilder and more frantically In
favor Of the home team and more un-
reasoning in partisanship than almost
any in the country. Just where this
feeling arises Is hard to discover. The
crowd Is violent in temper when the
team is winning, worse when 1t is los
ing. Perhaps long years of bitter de-
feat have caused 1t.
In Boston and Philadelphia, on both
major league parks, the home players
and visitors are almost upon equal
terms, and the spectators applaud
good plays irrespective of the players
| They see baseball under the best con.
and giving their best efforts to the

the gambling that has become almost

The temper of the crowd is ugly ant
the losing element is in evidence nc
matter whether the home club wins
or loses. Detroit is a loyal, rather
violent crowd tanned now because the
fans have learned to endure victory
as we'll as defeat. The crowds were

GOOD TIMES IN CANADA
BUSINESS PRosPERiNe, TRApR
INCREASING AND FiNANcEs
IN GOOD SHAPE.

The present Tightening up of money
must not be looked upon as being In
any sense brought about by financial
stringency. It is really more a period
of stock-taking resorted to by the
banks to ascertain the true condition
Of the finances and trade of the coun-
try. Legitimate business enterprises
are not affected. Throughout the
States there are those who If allowed
to continue borrowing, would inev-
itably be a means towards precipi-
tating something a good deal worse
than they feel now. In Canada, the
conditions are excellent, and 1t is
safe to say business was never bet
ter. The pulse of trade is carefully
watched by the Finance Department
Of the Dominion government, and 1t
is illuminative to read portions Of the
address OF Hon. w. T. White, the
Finance Minister, delivered few days
ago before the House of Commons.
Mr.. Whites remarks are In part az
follows:
1T falls agreeably to my lot to ex-
tend my most hearty congratulations
to the House and the country upon
the prosperous conditions which II
continues to be our good fortune to.
enjoy. I am happy to announce that
the outcome of the last fiscal year.
which ended on March 81, will prove.
even more satisfactory as rejecting
by far the highest pitch to which our
national prosperity has yet attained.
have every expectation that when the
books are closed, it will be found that
the total revenue will have reached
the splendid total Of $16S,250,00 or
an increase over the year 1911-12 OF
over $32,000,000. Some indication of
the magnificent growth of the Domin-
ion may be cleaned from the fact that
this increase in revenue during the Pc
riod of one year almost equals the en-
tire revenue Of the country seventy
| years ago.
THE augmentation of revenue to.
which I have referred has not been
| irregular, spasmodic or intermittent
in its nature, but has steadily charac-
terized each month of the entire fiscal
| year. 1t was of course mainly derived
from Customs receipts, but the other
sources Of revenue-excise, post Office
and railways-also gave US very sub
stantial increases"
That in q period Of great finan-
cial stringency not only have we not
been obliged to resort to the con-
gested markets of the world, but have
been able to reduce 30 substantially
($23,000,000) the debt of the Domfn-
ion, must be matter Of qualification,
both to the House and to the people
Of Canada.
Il believe that during this period
Of exceptional money stringency the
credit of the Dominion as reflected In
the quotations Of its securities has
maintained itself among the highest
in the world
Owing to the favorable state OF its
finances Canada was in position to
pay OF heavy loan in cash without
recourse to the issue of bills or se-
urities.-Advertiseme
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1913-06-13

One of the queer things in that city
is the batting of George Mullin, the
veteran pitcher. Mullin Is a jolly,
quick-witted joker and years ago he
began talking back to the bleachers.
He was warned that the bleacherites
would put him out of the business,
but persisted. Every afternoon he
would walk down in front of the
bleachers and engage in verbal
skirmish with the crowd, trying to
hold his own at rough repartee with
hundreds. He abused the crowd,
laughed at them, accused them Of
quitting" and enjoyed it. If he had
taken 1t seriously the result might
have been different, but after a time
the spectators in the bleachers would
not be satisfied If Mullin forgot to
start skirmish. Last summer 60
ing out on a car in Detroit, three
young fellows were talking.
"Oh, I've got a peach of get-back
at him today" said one, and, at the
urgent request of the others he drew
out card and read what he was 60
ing to say to Mullin if he came near
their seats.
| 1t is not the great crowds that at
tend the crucial games that exert the
strongest influence over players. True
there is natural nervousness among
| all the players when tremendous
throng gathers to see them, as in
worlds series games; but the ones
that help the home team, or damage
| it, are the crowd of from six to ten
thousand, stirred up by the regulars"
who day after day and season after
season, incite those around them
There are thousands of these regulars,
self-appointed claques or cheer mas.
ters, and some of them feel as if they
