When the games greatest catch
ers are being discussed. the critics
usually mention schalk. o'Neil and
Perkins and let II 20 at that.
No one will dispute the class OF
that trio. but It cannot be granted
that they are the only catchers In
the game.
The Giants and the Yanks have
catchers that are usually under
estimated. Frank Snyder and Wally
schnng may not be the best in the
business. but they are valuable
players.
Wally SchRng has been catching
so long and so industriously that he

to various causes. I am OF the opin-
ion the style OF play in a world
series will always have a tendency
TO be more along the old conven-
tional conservative lines.
My reasons for this belief are
several.
In the first place. opponents in a
world series do not know each other,
individually or collectively. as well
as they know the teams they oom-
bat daily in their respective leagues
and the procedure is consequently
slower.
Secondly, players or teams do not
take the same chances, TO begin with
at least. in a world series as they
do in a regular game. The series IS
too short, the risk too great, and
not worth Il. As last resort, wheh
other means of making runs nave
failed, a manager may be forced 10
attempt anything.
For example, in 1911, when the
Giants couldn't fathom the offerings
or Bender or Coombs with any de-
gree of success. McGraw started ms
men on a base-stealing crusade. That
year. II am not mistaken the
combined steals OF the New YORK
club created a major league record
which still stands. But after JACK
Lapp had pegged out five IN one
game, that was stopped. too.
Base Stealing.
Strange though It may SEEM base
stealing is an art and a practice
that's played but small part In
the outcome OF any world series.
In the 1921 pre-series predictions
the slowness Of the Yanks and the
fieetness OF the Giants was dwelt
upon at great length. Whereas the

NOVEL WORK OF
CIVICS CLASS
AT ACADEMY
To Discuss Platforms of
"COlOnialists" and
"PrOgressives"

Prof. A. G. Axtells classes in
Civics at St. Johnsbury Academy
have been doing some very inter
esting work, and it will be contin~
ued next term.
The classes have been divided
into two political parties, the
"Colonialsts" and the "ProgresS-
ives"
This is the program of the
Colonialists: We believe in indus
try in the home; that the home
should be the center of social af
fairs, that there should be fewer
subjects taught in the schools and
that these should be more thor
oughly taught; that there should
be education in religion; that
there should be a stricter ODE
dience to laws; that there should
be an opportunity to work out
taxes; and that every citizen
should have an equal chance.
In opposition TO the Colonialists'
program, the Progressives have
this platform: We believe in a
protective tariff; in d broader

BIG TIME
FOR KIDDIES AT
ELKS HOME
Tree and Exercises to Fol
low Matinee at Globe
Theatre

With the Elks' Christmas tree,
Saturday, the Community tree
Sunday afternoon, Christmas trees
in the schools and the churches,
The Red Cross Christmas activi-
ties and many other charitable or
ganizations looking after the COM
fort and happiness of both child
rem and grown-ups st. Johnsbury
approaches the Christmastide with
well-laid plans maturing rapidly.
Outstanding among Christmas
celebrations is the tree at the
Elks' Home Saturday afternoon.
This is for every child in St.
Johnsbury under the age of ~
years, and the plans indicate one
of the most gigantic of the many
successful affairs staged by St.
Johnsbury lodge of Elks. The tree
will be a brilliant one and from it
Santa Claus will distribute pres
entS for all. Admission to the tree
and exercises will be by ticket and
these will be given to children ap-
plying at the Elks Home, any time
up to Saturday noon.
But the tree isn't all. Preceding
it, through the courtesy of Man
ager H. A. Graves of the Globe
theatre, the children are invited to
attend matinee, and Elks will be
at the theatre to escort them to
the Elks' Home. The matinee will
close in season for the tree and
exercises at four o'clock.
St. Johnsbury children have
been the guests of the Elks and
Manager Graves before and they
know something of the fun in
store for them saturday afternoon.
Through a misunderstanding the
impression was abroad that only
500 children could be entertained.
Arrangements have been made for
every child under the age of IL
and the larger the number the
more pleasure to the royal and
philanthropic entertainers. r
The committee in charge of the
tree is: Clarence C. hitchcock,
chairman, Mrs. F. w. Magoon,
Mrs. Charles Elrick, Mrs. Frank
E. Harris, Mrs. Charles Darling,
Mrs. Harold Bartlett, Harry H.
Carr, Frank E. Harris, Frank O.

B. Dow, John T. Carroll, Lester

First reports said it was believed
the blaze was caused by a short
circuit in the electrical wiring.
The church was considered one
of the finest and most artistic
church buildings in Canada and the
interior had been renewed recently
at a cost of 100000. 1t was first
established in 1647. 1t underwent
a restoration in 1745 and since that
date had been altered and renewed
number of times.
The rectory adjoining the church

FIRE STATION
AND MUNICIPAL
MANAGER PLAN
Voters to Consider These
Matters at Village
Meeting

Among the articles to be voted
on at the annual village meeting
on Wednesday January 8, will be
three of more than usual interest.
Article three calls for action in
regard to a location and building
for central fire station. This is
not a new proposition for the
municipality, and some of the fea-
lures of this ever-present prob
lens will be presented in a later
issue of the CaleGonian-Record.
Article six calls for some action
on the proposed plan securing
municipal manager as provided by
the Vermont statutes.
Article seven provides for the
appointment of a committee to
present the voters at later meet
ing a revised set of bylaws for
the village.
These articles, with the others
relating to financing the affairs of
the village for 1923, are being de-
bated by our citizens and discuss
ed in the columns Of the Caledon-
ian-Record and their Importance

caps lOfced upon IL Dy tHe events
of the past two years. Notwith-
standing the fact that the interest
and energy of the entire country
have been focused upon the prob
lens of war and reconstruction,
more cities took time to place their
local government upon this busi-
ness basis last year than during
any preceding twelve months. The
record for 1918 of 32 additions to
the list of city-manager municipal
tiles is apparently to be exceeded
in 1919. Already the figures total
twenty-five, with two more pledg-
ed for 1920. Many charter cam
pjaigns are scheduled for this fall.
This numerical increase is of
Slight significance, but the stories
emanating from the scores of our
cities, whose business affairs have
been entrusted to trained managers
during the war, mark a real epoch
of municipal achievement.
