tics for the purpose of fashioning one
which will be peculiarly fitting to fem
mime arms and bodies. She paid clos
est attention to the stroke used in Har-
ward, Yale and Oxford, and has settled
upon a modification Of the Harvard
stroke, which requires long body
swing.
Cornell will be trained in the same
system followed at Wellesley. Each
class will have crew of sixteen, di-
vided into two boats. About 120 of the
girl students will thus be placed on the
water. Each crew will be required to
do certain amount of rowing every
fair day They are now at work on
rowing machines in the gymnasium. so
that they will be perfectly familiar with
the requirements of the stroke when
the time comes for them to do active
work on the lake.
Nothing of an official character has
yet been said about the race between
Wellesley and Cornell, but such a con-
test is quite certain to take place before
the summer vacation sets in. The reg
ular rowing costume consists of Il
sweater, knickerbockers, q short skirt,
heavy stockings and low shoes. The
skirt will be dispensed with when wcrll
on the lake begins, as it has been found
that it catches in the sliding of the
seats and sadly impedes the work of
the roWerS.

ter has the privilege of making try
for first base, although she seldom gets
there in safety. While in transit, If she
is struck by the ball she is out The
catcher Is always the most accurate
thrower in the team for it devolves up
on her to hit the base runner with, the
ball
A clever batter or kicker is seldom
counted out on strikes. The ball offers
good target. and by swinging back the
body at the right instant and giving the
ball hearty kick the sphere can be
sent flying into the far field. Players
are not allowed to wear skirts, as it has
been discovered that there is always
disposition among the fielderS to hold
their skirts for a high fly, and thus
make doubly sure of catching the ball
Home runs are of frequent occurrence,
for on very little kick a clever base
runner can make the round of the dia
mond. The ball is awkward to handle,
and cannot be thrown any great dis
tance. Then. when the ball is kicked
into the outfield, it has to pass through
the hands of two or three players before
it reaches the home plate again.
All winter the girls of Sage college.
the female department of Cornell, have
been preparing for the rowing season.
When they first decided to have a crew
100 of them petitioned the college au-
thorities to allow the Cornell coach
Charles r. Courtney, to instruct them In
the work. But there they ran against
a snag. 1t seems that Courtney is paid
by the voluntary subscriptions of the
students for the particular purpose Of

girls of Cornell intend to have one be-
fore many weeks have elapsed. Vassar
has not yet contracted the rowing fever,
but when the crews of the rival colleges
get into racing trim it is quite certa i'll
Vassar will show the world that she is
not to be outdone, and a fine shell pro-
PEELED by muscular and dimpled arms
will cleave the blue waters of the HuG
son with. the speed of a Defender.
1t also looks as if these three colleges
were to meet as rivals on the baseball
field or the Lang field, as it should be
more properly called. Lang is new
game that came to the front during the
past winter in the gynnasiumS fire.
Quented by fashionable women. 1t is
an outdoor game, however, and can be
played on the green diamond with great
success.
Moreover, 1t is just the game for wo-
men, for while it includes all the health
giving features OF baseball it does away
with the roughness and danger. The
batter runs no risk of being knocked
senseless by having a hard ball crash
against her SKULL and the catcher does
not fear for the safety of her pretty fin
gers.
The man who invented the game was
named Lang, and very consistently the
sport is called Lang ball. AS in the
orthodox game, the players number
nine on each side. and their positions
are precisely the same. But the batter
does not WELD a heavy ash stick. In
stead she endeavors to make a three
Dagger or a home run by the deXterous
use of her feet
The home plate in Lang would vex
the heart of the professional ball play
er with doubt. Reared above it is an
ordinary horizontal bar attached to side
standards, the same as used in all GYM
nasiums. The girl at the bat leaps I'D
from the ground and catches hold of the
bar with her hands.
The pitcher uses q big rubber ball
about six inches in diameter and as
elastic as tennis ball. She tosses the
ball with the hope of hitting the girl at
the bat. If she succeeds it is counted a
strike. If the batter kicks at it and
misses it is also counted a strike. If it
is fairly good ball and she allows it to
pass by it is counted a strike. No balls
are counted against the pitcher, it hav-
ing been found unnecessary, as even the
poorest kind of thrower is able to toss
the ball somewhere in the vicinity of the
plate. Three strikes are out but the bat

Who Would Rentf,.?

F., The apology offered to the Times by
! the Delta is accepted. Its reference t.
| some editorials which appeared in tn.
| Times some years ago on government
ownership of railroads and the method
! suggested by which the same could
he paid for. was probably intended
to divert our attention from the mon
partisanship" of the recent citizen 8
convention. II wants to know if we
are ready to add another chapter to
our pretty scheme.
A fool is the only man who never
changes his opinions. For a man to
say that he will always have the same
idea upon public questions is to argue
himself narrow minded and intolerant,
and the Times has no desire to pose as
that sort of a paper We are in favor
of government ownership of railroads
and telegraph lines, but on more mature
consideration we are satisfied that It
would not do to pay for them by issuing
paper money as long as monopoly OF
land is permitted If the single tax
could be put in operation, then the plan
advocated by the Times for paying
for the roads would do, but to attempt
such scheme now would be to enrich
the land monopolist and nobody else.
1t might not do the Delta man any
harm to imagine that the government
would assume control of all railroads on
the 1st day of May, 1885, and that freights
would be reduced to what the service
actually cost. Who would be benefited
by the reduction? Would the man who
works for wages be any better off?
Would the homeless be supplied with
homes? Would the value of houses,
horses, carriages. watches and furniture
be increased? Would the merchants
stock of goods be worth more than un
der present conditions? Would the clerk
be better paid and their hours of labor
reduced? The answer to all these Ques-
tons must be no. But somebody would
be benefited by reducing the cost of rail
road transportation. Who, then, would
it be? The land owner, and nobody
else, the principal benefit of course at
taching to owners of valuable city lots.
Just in proportion as the cost of trans
portation was reduced would the value
of land increase. The issue of large
amounts of money by the government
to pay for the roads would have the
same result. The increased prosperity
that would follow such course on the
part of the government would be alb
sorbed by the land monopolist, and the
march of poverty in the midst of in
creasng wealth would be only Temporal
rily checked.
If the government took the rental
value of land in the way of taxation
natural opportunities would be free to
| all, and then when those values We're in
creased by operation of the government
| all the people would be benefited in
| stead of the few. To try to make times
| permanently better by issuing paper
money to pay for railroads or for any
other purpose. as long as the earth is
| permitted to be a subject for specula-
| tion would be like trying to build a
| house by beginning work on the roof 1t
| is necessary to have foundation first.
| and the freeing of natural opportunities
whereby the hungry can fill their stom-
achs must be the foundation of all per-
manent reform in our government.-Vi-
