THE
ENTERPRISE
Four Team to Work Out Kinks and
Cricks at the Resort Various Sys
tems to Be Followed at Training
- Camps.
Within a few weeks the baseball
campaigns of 1912 will be under way,
with the beginning of the spring train
ing trips of the big league clubs. AH
of the sixteen clubs have selected their
pilots, and all have chosen their pre
season stamping grounds.
Hot Springs, Ark., will be the lead
ing antebellum spot in a baseball way
this year. Four teams will work out
the kinks and cricks of rusty muscles
there, one American league outfit and
three from the National. Jack Stahl
will superintend the early work of the
Boston Red Sox in the razorback re
sort, while the National leaguers, Fred
Clarke of Pittsburgh, Charlie Dooin of
Philadelphia and Bill Dahlen of Brook
lyn, will be on the job with their
charges.
It will be the first time in history
that so many big league teams have
been in action at one time in any sin
gle city.
Hot Springs Is First Choice.
Hot Springs is an easy first in the
race for popularity as a spring train
ing camp. Next comes New Orleans.
Two clubs will work out there, the
Cleveland Americans under Harry Da
vis and the Chicago Cubs under Frank
Chance. St. Louis might be said to be
tied with New Orleans for second hon
ors, as the Mound City entries in both
National and American leagues will do
their preliminary conditioning on the
home lot, the first time in recent years
that a major league team has dispens
ed with a southern trip.
Connie Mack will take his world's
champion Athletics to San Antonio,
Jim Callahan will "Moses" the White
Sox to Corsicana, Tex.; Harry Wolver
ton will lead his New York Yankees to
Atlanta, Ga.: Clark Griffith will con
vene his Washington Senators at Char
lottesville. Va.; Hank O'Day will take
his Cincinnati Beds to Columbus, Ga.,
and Johnny McGraw will once more
put the Giants through the paces at
Marlin. Tex. The Boston Nationals
will loosen up at Augusta. Ga.
The systems of training that will be
in vogue nt the baseball camps this
spring offer a larger variety than ever
before. In some cases the work will
consist largely of general all round ex
ercise to limber up the muscles of the
men; in other cases practically all the
time will be devoted to actual playing.
Just about this time the air is atingle
with rumors of big baseball trades im
pending, and it is not unlikely thai,
some deals will be put through before
the beginning of the spring trips that
will revolutionize the outlook for the
championship races. Accordingly it is
hard to form a definite line on how the
teams will stack up against each other
when the starting gun is Bred. But
speculation is already noticeable among
the fans as to who will win the pen
nants in the two leagues.
This is but human nature, however.
Moreover, it indicates that the love of
the fan for his favorite pastime is not
of the kind, that is satisfied with Just
six months of baseball. - When he can
not see it or play it he must talk it
So we already have heard prophecies
nominating this or that team as the
one to be watched next year. At this
time last year the Athletics and Giants
were generally picked to win the two
pennants, and the predictions came
true.
The consensus seems to be In favor
of the same teams this year. In the
case of the Athletics it is for the same
reason as before. They figure just
about 100 per cent stronger than any

other team in baseball. In the case cl
the Giants it is different. The disinte
gration of the Cubs is the chief thing
that throws the Giants to the fore in
the prognostications. The American
league race looks like a walkover for
the Athletics, with Detroits finishing
second, while the Giants undoubtedly
will be closely pressed by the Cubs,
Phillies and possibly St. Louis, accord
ing to the way the '"bugs" have it figured.
TO DRIVE THREE ABREAST.
Polly Parrott Will Be Raced to Pole
With Crabtree's Champion Team.
Lady Maud C. and Hedgewood Boy,
pacers that hold the world's team rec
ord of 2:02 and that have been rac
ing under the colors of M. W. Sav
age, are now in charge of their owner,
W. C. Crabtree, at his home in Taylor
ville, 111.
Crabtree intends to race the horses
as a team this year and also will drive
them three abreast, using Polly Par
rott, a daughter of Lady Maud, as
tb third member of the team.
Spike Shannon "Ail In."
Spike Shannon, one time Giant out
fielder, is all through as a ball player.
He was with Danny Shay In Kansas
City last season, but bis legs, once
rated as fine a pair as almost any In
the National league, gave but. He is
spending the winter nights clerking at
SbaVs hotel in Kansas.
BOTH SIDES OF LIFE.
One hall ol a successful life is
action, the getting ol things done in
the right way at the right time. But
the othei hal! is no less useful en
durance, patience, the bearing ol
things tr.si are hard, the steadfast
hoi:;ir.si io a difficult position.

EXPERT DEFENDS PLANS FOR ROADS
(Continued from rage 1.)
"Briefly, the state highway fund bill
provides that the proceeds of bonds
s5ld by the State of Oregon and 66 2-3
per cent of license taxes on motor
vehicles, shall be converted into a fund
to be known as the state highway
fund."" The bill further provides that
75 per cent of the fund so created
shall be divided equally among the
several counties of the state, and that
the remaining 25 per cent shall be
apportioned among the counties ac
cording to their area in square miles.
Now, as to the proposed $20,000,
000 state bond issue. This is an in
dependent act of the state. No coun
ty is obligated to issue bonds because
the state does. It may persist in its
present method of securing revenues
for road construction, maintenance or
repair. The state aid fund is created,
however, for the help of the counties,
and the counties are expected to co
operate jn its utilization.
"The interest bugaboo has been
used to frighten the easily deceived
by unscrupulous manipulators of fig
ures. We are discussing the state
bond issue, which is to be $20,000,000.
It is to be issued at the rate of $2,000,
000 a year for ten years. It is the
same kind of a bond issue as is made
by the city or a business organization
for an improvement that is expected
to earn its own cost.
"If no railroad company, for ex
ample, had gone into debt to provide
funds for betterments and extensions,
we would not be enjoying our present
transportation facilities. Every citi
zent of the state is. a partner and
stockholder in the great corporation
known as the State of Oregon.
"The bonds, each $2,000,000, run 30
years and draw interest at 5 per cent,
payable semi-annually. For each $2,
000,000, then, there is a semi-annual
interest charge of $50,000.
"But the bonds do not draw interest
until issued. The interest payments
of the first year, therefore, would
total $100,000. Interest on a second
$2,000,000 in bonds the second year
would be $100,000, and, with interest
on the first $2,000,000, makes a total
interest charge of $200,000. For each
year up to and including the tenth
year, would be an increase of $100,000
in interest."
W. X. T. U EXPERT TO

GOAT SHEARING WILL
START IN TEN DAYS
The go it shearing season will sctvt
in the Willamette Valley within a
week or ten days, weather permitting.
The season has started in nortnern
California ina limited way.
Inquiries regarding the probable
price of mohair are coming in but so
far as known no contracts have been
let.
As a general rule the trade is pre
dicting 30c as the opening price for
1912 mohair. This is fractionally un
der the start of a year, ago, but the
situation is said to be less firm.
The weakness is due to the lowr
market in South Africa, from where
a large per cent of the world's supply
of hair comes from.
Some small sales of Arizona mo
hair are reported at practically the
same price as a year ago. The hair is
shorn twice each year in that section
and the stock is quoted at about two
thirds on the price of the year's
growth. In the Willamette valley and
in northern California the goats are
shorn once each year, but in south
ern California the shearing is done
twice. Therefore the price obtained
at these points is not to be compared
witb. other sections.
One of the causes of the weaker
feeling in the mohair trade has been
the strike at eastern milling centers.
This Jias curtailed the demand to a
considerable extent.
