Washington city there Is large, comfort
able house standing In the middle OF a
half acre lawn. In this house Is n room
which occupies the southwest corner OF the
first floor. In that room are two desks and
q huge secretary with innumerable pigeon
holes 1t is tho headquarters Of all pro-
fessional baseball In the United States.
Within those four walls the records are
kept and legal redress is sent out to moro
than 100 clubs. The house Is the house of
N. Il. Young, president of the National
league and chairman Of the national board
of arbitration. In that workshop are filed
the papers pertaining to every dispute or
quarrel which has arisen among tho minor
league clubs and players during the last 13
or IA years. Recently was shown the pa
pers In q single Casa dispute over a
player between two clubs up in Maine
and the documentary evidence was as
bulky as the papers In most supreme court
cases.
Besides being the head of the national
board, Mr.. Young has all the records Of
the National league players to keep, as
we'll as the umpires' accounts to audit,
fines to collect, balls to distribute and COM
plants to hear and answer. II was not
therefore an act Of generosity, but rather
one Of justice when the League last winter
raised Mr.. Young's salary from $4,000 to
90, 900 year and gave him the assistance
Of a clerk (his sony, who receives an ad-
ditional 81 900 salary.

One remarkable feature OF the first three
weeks Of the League championship season
was the extraordinary number OF tie games
played. Three of six played on one day re-
suited In tied score, and more followed. AS
Q rule runs have been few and single fig
ures prevail. 1t is hard to tell whether 1t
Is the result of strong pitching or OF weak
batting. Seymour of the New Yorks dis
played noteworthy strength In pitching.
Players are sure to get their eyes on the
ball to better effect as the weather grows
warmer. The pitchers will then no doubt
be more severely handled.
1t is useless to make deduction OF rela-
tive strength among the League clubs from
their present standing In the race. Their
series thus far played have been sectional.
After the eastern teams have finished their
present tour of the western circuit and the
western six shall have returned their east
ern brethren's s visit some idea Of how 1t Is
going to end may be had. Until that
time, which will be the last Of June, root

for their favorites.
College men are gradually coming into
the professional ranks. The latest addi-
tions are John j. Pappalan OF the Clevc-

the Georgetown university, who has just
signed to play with the Bostons. This

OARSMEN HARD AT WORK.
Little Talk About the Training, Except ut
Harvard.

Little Talk ABOUT tho framing, Except ~
Harvard.
Since the selection of Poughkeepsie as
the course for all the big college boat races
the different crews have got down to the
most serious kind of training. There will
be four triangular races, the dates Of which
follow: Wednesday, June 28, Yale, Har-
ward and Cornell freshmen; Friday, June
90, Yale, Harvard and Cornell varsity;
Wednesday, Juno 30, Cornell, Columbia
and Pennsylvania freshmen; Friday. July
2, Cornell, Columbia and Pennsylvania
varsity. Little Is said about the training
Of any OF the crews except Harvard, which
keeps up the interest manifested from tho
outset on account of the methods of Leh-
man. the English expert The easy work
Of the 6rst few weeks Is said 70 have been
changed to the other extreme, and two
men have already been sent away 70 re-
cuperate.
Such condition cannot but cause con-
siderable dissatisfaction among the stu
dents, for they feel that entertaining has
been tho trouble In the past, and IL was
partly to correct this that Lehman was in
vited to come to America. The original
plan was an English coach, an English
stroke and an English system of training,
the last OF which was interpreted to be
something a great deal lighter than the
former drudgery Of crew training.
Cambridge men generally have conf
dence in the stroke but realize that the
stroke itself cannot win unless the men
who pull it are strong and possessed Of
good staying powers. Lehman says that
there Is no danger; that the men are only
o "good, healthy tired" when they have
finished their work, and that June 20 will
find them strong, vigorous crew, unless
something new turns up.

Beware of Centuries.


Every rider contemplating century run
for the first time need fear no evil IL he
will form resolution to stop when he has
got enough and stick to 1t rigidly. If at
80 or IS miles, or at any other distance, he
finds himself exhausted, he should stop
short, even II miles from a human habita-
ton. To go on may mean lifelong illness
or sudden death. Some preliminary train
ing at long distances is always advisable.
After the rider finds that he can do 20
miles comfortably he need not hesitate to
attempt century. 1t Is well enough, too,
10 adjust the diet with reference to the
task in hand. All alcoholic drinks should
bo avoided unless the individual Is regu-
lar drinker. Cereal substitutes for tea and
coffee are also to be recommended. Fruit,
fight breadstuffs and variety of well cook
I'd meats form proper diet in contempla-
tion of the foolishness in question. After
the ride is over there should be massage
and manipulation of the muscles, light
meal and prolonged rest.
