BUSES ENABLE RIOTERS
TO FOLLOW HOME CLUB
Automobiles Haze Increased Crowds Baseball Games and
Hare Contributed to Success of T,Uilght THts
Also Big Aid to Players
BY BILL DALLAS

INDEPENDENT baseball. meaning
that brand of the national sport as
furnished by the scmi-pros and minor
leagues in the Philadelphia TERRITORY has
grown In leaps and bounds the last few
years, and according to Phil J. Hag-
gcrty. manager of the Nativity baseball
team. the wonderful success of the sport
Is due in large measure to the motor
car. 4
''Pcoplc everywhere last summer wcra
asking me what caused twilight baseball
to become so popular and my answer
invariably is the automobile. Motor
cars. in my opinion. have done more to
boost the sport than any one single
| thing. The automobile has brought the
diamond TO the very door Of the player
and spectator for that matter. II has
turned n business into II pleasure for
the ma ior'tv e the PLAYERS.
Not only has tho ear made it possible
for the payer who Is employed durin'
the day to quickly reach the scene of
the game where he is to play. but IL has
also enabled him to travel in comfort.
II it were not for the automobile many
of the very best men on the Nativity
team last year would have been unable
to play with our club, as their place Of
employment was too far distant.
Buses Followed Team
DO YOU know that there were hum
dreds of Nativity rootcrs last year that
witnessed virtually every game we
played both at home and away. And
many Of these were busy business men
who were unable to leave for the games
until the last minute. as time meant
money to them.
''1t made no difference where Ma
tivity played there was ALWAYS several
! hundred rootcrs and on many occasions
almost a thousand followers of the club
were on hand to cheer the boys on to
victory. And as far ms baseball Is con-
ccrncd, | might add that the same holds
, true in. other branches of sport. for
wherever a Nativity team is going to
perform you will always find half
dozen motortrucks carrying rootcrs to
the scene Ct the event
''Thc same situation held true with
: at least II dozen of the citys big teams.

BY JOSEPH 7. LABRUM

GCTNHE tractor is no longer luxury

necessity. The farmer with tractor

the farm.
"And do NOT confnc myself to
farmers alone. Industrial concerns
have found by experience that n trnctor

of moving things around. continued
the genial Mr.. Heeb.
ITO meet the present competition
among the farmers-and it gets ko"ner
every year-the man of the sOil must

expounding with considerable emphasis
the salient features of the machine,
Five pamphlets were waved "Cnthusi

remarks.
LAS a time saver there is nothing in
the realm of mechanics that has it on
the tractor on the farm. 1t does in one
day what it takes horse nine days tC
do. and better. too. There is really ne
comparison and tho early missionary
work we used to do is something Ions
passed. Every one realizes it just a'
we do.
"A tractor can plow hundred acre
farm in six or seven days. while it takes
a horse three weeks to cover the same
ground. The tractor can nlOw. make
the field ready for sowing. do the SOW

The ample belt power on n tractor en- :

WEEKLY GRAIN AND
PROVISION REVIEW

Chicago, Jan. 14.-AIthough the
fall of the French cabinet was fol-
lowed by a decline in wheat prices
this week, better domestic milling
demand and prospective reduc-
ton of the United States visible
supply have largely acted as an off
set Compared with a week ago.
wheat this morning varied from Z C
lower to &c advance, corn was 1sc
off to 1sc up, and oats showed
gains of 1sc to &c. In provisions
the week brought a rise varying
from 35c to SLAP.
1t was generally assumed at first
that the sudden change in the
French government might mean
considerable uncertainty and delay
in grain business in Europe. Later,
however, this view was modified,
and wheat traders again took great
er interest in ordinary market fac
tors than in foreign political com
plications. Decreased primary re-
ceipts of wheat gave some basis Tor
predictions OF smaller visible sup
ply figures.
Corn was steadied in price by an
active demand from the seabo2rd.
Meanwhile, the south and southeast
gave signs of planting oats.
Provisions reflected upturns IN
the value of hogs.
