The Varsity baseball practice Is going on
daily in the cage, the squad having been cut
dowa to about 20 men, including those Of last
years team. The men are all doing excellent
work, and most Of them are showing up in
fine form. There are several new men who
have shown ability aud will make valuable
additions to the team. Casey, 90, is suffering
from q broken finger. The injury was re-
ceived Wednesday while practicing in the
cage, and will probably interfere with his
work on the squad for several weeks. The
make-up OF the team cannot be determined
until the men are tried at outdoor practice.
Among the last years players are Lang and
Jimmie Dunno for catchers, Lauder for third
base, Captain Frltz for second base Robinson
and Brady for outtieid, and SummersgiIl and
Brady for pitchers. Short atop will probably
be covered by Walter d. Phillips from Rich
mond. Va. Phillips comes from the Uni
versity of Virginia, where he has made an
enviahle record In the past two years. Mellor
and Sedgewiok are new men, candidates for
pitchers Sedgvwick came from Andover last
year. Last fall he was at Tufts, where h
played quarterback on the football team.
Among the candidates for first base are
Gammons, Rodman, Casey and Molor. IL is
impossible TO determine who will play first
until the field practice begins. There Is little
difference In the batting of tho candidates.
Probably 0ammons will be- given n chance In
the outheld, II he docs not make first base.

to go into the convention and let

BalliDs on Horses. HoolA.


There is a well-known Detroit physl
clan who has been looking for year.
for some plan to prevent snow ''ballnG'
on the hOofs of his horses. Recently hl
discovered what he has been loo1dns
for. For years he has tried every oorl
Of device that he could conceive Of OF
that had been brought to his attention
by other people, but the snow was a.
ways ''balling" up in the hoofs, just the
same, much to the danger Of the horse
and his own discontinue. The other
day he was coming down Woodward
avenue and the same old trouble wal
wearing on his patience. Getting out
Of his buggy. he went into a drug store.
and, asking for some drug he wanted
incidentally remarked that he would
like something, too, that would prevent
snow ''balling" up on his horse.
WELL" said the druggist, Il should
think you ought to know how to stop
that" Giving the doctor two ounces of
glycerin, he told him to divide it evenly
on the four hoofs Of his horse The
physician took the prescription and ap-
Piled it as told. He drove on downtown,
and, getting out, looked at the horse,
to find that there was no snow what
ever on any roof. 1t seemed a complete
cure. Oil and lard have often been
tried, but opposed by veterinarians, on
the ground that they keep the moisture
away from the hOOf, thereby doing 1t
injury. This fails Of application to gly-
cerin, for 1t win mix with water. 1t
will not injure the hoof, and, 1t seems.
will keep the hoof free from snow

which was the sign: "Express-drst

pulled 1t began its Journey upward.
The lone woman passenger gave vent
to q sigh "Oh!' and held her breath.
Floor after door was passed at .
speed Of about eight miles IN hour.
When the sixth floor was reached the
woman wanted to get Oh. but was In
formed that she was on an express.
and 1t was against the rules to stop an
express until its destination was reach
ed. The elevator arrived at the seventh
floor on time. It took exactly eight
seconds to make the upward Journey OF
eighty-five feet The elevator man
then announced that the next stop
would be the top door. 100 feet above.
The top floor, according to the direc-
tory. was the fourteenth. and the eleva-
tor few upward once more, arriving
near the roof a few seconds later.
