Yankees of last year and how their
possibilities were wrecked by series
of accidents which would have sent
almost any other club into the scrap

club Bill Donovan and Capt. Huston are
pinning their hopes of an American
league flag on this year.
1t is one of the most brilliant aggre-
cations in baseball this year. 1t is a
club with possibilities for every branch
OF the sport. 1t should be a hitting
club, a base-running club and a field
ing club.
1t has pitching staff which should
come through with some remarkable
slab stuff and boasts of two of the
most brilliant young catchers in either
league.

club and TO Capt. Huston and found a
feeling of confidence, but not over.con-

the score SO in their favor.
In the second game the Colts, al

them to an lilo score.

Easter Observance.

Easter was observed in Wortningtop
by the Sunday school Of the Christian
church. A very pretty program was
rendered in the evening consisting of
vocal music, recitations and drills by
the members of the school with some
solos, anthems and duets by members
of the choir.
In the morning Rev. A. NJ. Ritenour
preached a sermon at the Baptist

staff. Headed by the veteran Leslie
Nunamaker, the staff looks as good as
any in the league, with Alexander, who
proved his mettle last year, and Wal
tiers, who is said to be second edition
of Ray Schalk.
The infield is strong extensively and
defensively. Wally Pipp, slugger ex-
traordinary, will be at first, Maisel at
second, the veteran Peckinpaugh at
short, and John Franklin Baker. the
home run king, at third. The only pos.
sible weakness is at second, and the
Yanks are betting on Maisel to come
through.
Baker, who had bad season last
year on account of injuries, should be
the best third sacker in the league this
year and should bat above 300.
The outfield will be composed of
Lee Magee, Hugh High and the sen.
sational young Gilhooley, with Tim
Hendryx and Elmer Miller in reserve.
In case Maisel does not pan out as a
keystone sacker, Angel Aragon, a Gu
ban, and Bauman will be tried out for
the job They will be carried during
the season.
1t is hard to pick weak spots on this
club. 1t is hard to figure where there
is a stronger club in the league. This
is especially true when the 1916 rec.
ord is considered.
Barring accidents the Yanks should
prove one of the greatest baseball or
eanizations of the season.

BIG RURAL QUESTION.
Concerns the Relative Merits Of Vic

No. 3l7. held its regular meeting in the
town hall and on authentic report IL is
learned that the topic of the evening
was Which Is the More Conducive to
Happiness in the Farm Life. Running
Water or Victrola?"
Here is further evidence of the fren-
zied fashion in which humanity, urban
as well as rural. desperately plunges at
the solution Of certain problems that
cannot be solved except by the personal
equation. There are many questions
that are too battling to be decided by a
popular vote Whatever the decision,
lthere is bound to be largely discon-
tented minority. These matters are con
thualiy cropping up in the city. as well
as In the village. They are not to ha
settled by debate and rising vote. If
they were, life might become extremely
simple.
"iIappiness" is broad, elastic and
much-tangled question. For some per
sons it is to be gained through foolish
ness. while others find it lustive and
intangible. except through the applica-
tion of common sense. No grange or
debating society is powerful enough in
its wisdom TO reach "a definite conclusion
on any specific point of happiness. For
that matter, il is AN unusual family
that can come to a perfect agreement
on such question. Youth and age, as
well rs divergent sex interests. produce
inevitable divisions of opinion

water is a luxury, while every one knows

necessity. However that does not de

luxury or n necessity is the more vital
to real happiness.
