The University of Wisconsin is intending
to send a strong crew to Poughkeepsie for
the next intercollegiate regatta. For two
years the badgers have given Pennsylvania
bruising race to the very finish, and they
are determined to win the next time. Eff
forts to get men out doors In the fall were
unsuccessful, but February 20 the candi-
dates will be put to work vigorously for
the seasons races.
Andrew O'Dea, who coached last years
crew, will again handle the men, and he
thinks from the old members of the var
sity and the best of the material from the
exceptionally strong freshman crew which
won at Poughkeepsie last year, with one
or two new men he has in sight, that he
will send along a faster crew than be-
fore, and one better able to stand grueling
work.
1t is now admitted that the form Of last
years crew was not Of the best, else the
crab" which one of the Pennsylvania
oarsmen caught near the end of the race
would have been turned to better account.
The showing of Wisconsin in the past
two years has been encouraging, but 1t Is
recognized that the effort to raise the nee

FAVORED BY MIR. PUTNAM.
Urges the Opening, of the Congress
aiOnal Library on Sundaxs

proposition to open the Library of Con-
gress Sundays from 2 to 10 pm. is being
| urged by Librarian Putnam. In a letter to
Senator Mcmillan, Mr.. Putnam says:
THE opening of the library during the
hours named IS desirable At present the
entire building is closed from 10 o'clock
on Saturday evening TN til 9io'clock on Mon
day morning. No visitor may have the en-
| jcyment and instruction of the art within
it; no reader may have the recreation and
instruction Of the books. This Is a serious
deprivation-tirst, to the ordinary residents
| of Washington, whose affairs preclude their
use of the library On secular days; second
to the thousands of men and women en-
ployed in the government service who out
side of their official hours, are studying to
improve their education for more advanced
work, and third, to visitors and students
and investigators from distance, who find
their opportunity for the enjoyment of the
building and the use Of it's contents pro-
hibited on the day of the week on which
they would be most attractive and most
convenient.
For the maintenance of this library and
the building there is this year expended
Exclusive Of the copyright office and ex-
over 100000. If the expenditure of $4,000
more would enable the library to be open
OIL Sunday, 1t would add one-sixth to Its
present availability at addition of but
one-twenty- of It's cost Of mainte-
nance. Economically, therefore, 1t Is an ex-
travagance that this great plant should be
idle. its influence for good in allegiance, dur
ing one-seventh of the year
Such considerations have now elsewhere
very generally prevailed. that there Is
scarcely a municipal free library in the
United States OF any importance which Is
not now open on Sunday in. at least, its ref
erence departments, and during the hours
named above. There is, so far as 1 know,
no library which has attempted Sunday
opening that has abandoned 1t. In every
library where it has been attempted the use
on Sunday Is larger than during an equiva-
lent period Of any secular day. and it is a
use deemed more fruitful. If the induce
ment to open extends even to library that
circuates books for home use. it must be
still stronger In a library which. like the
Library Of Congress, Is to the general public
a library Of reference merely, whose bene-
fits cease when It's doors are closed

According to the New York Sun today
the National League schemers are sore on
Abell Hanlon and Ebbets, and intend to
make things so unpleasant for them that
their club will surrender under fire and get
into the American League. The schemers
say that Brooklyn never should have been
allowed to leave the old American Associa-
ton, for 1t is a typical 25-cent town and
not Of sufficient financial strength to war
rant It's stay in the big league. This Is the
way the story runs. but the Brooklyn mag
mates take no stock in 1t. They would not
look at the American League for mo-
ment, they say. and they have denounced
Johnson in more bitter terms than any
other leaguers have done. A base ball poll
clan said TO a reporter OF the Sun:
The situation appears complicated, but
1t is all well-laid plot. Brush of Cincin-
natl Is behind the guns. He has been au-
thorzed by Soden and one two others
to get things in shape for the reorgantza-
ton of the National League next fall
Brush wants to play Cincinnati and land
in a city where there is a chance to make
big money. l heard 1t said that he is be-
hind Johnson, and has finger in the

scheme. Brush wants to have two leagues
in operation in 1902, working in harmony
II he can sell the Cincinnati club he will
either take st. Louis or be in on the ground
by Johnson's unwilHngness to go into Bos-
ton or New York. If Brush could manipu-
late things to suit himself he would re-
arrange matters that these two circuits
would be laid out:

Connie Mack, one of the leaders in the

day in Boston about the prospects of that
organization.
The American League is in just as good
if not in a better, position than the National
League to make a fight. The league is
pretty we'll burdened now and does not
want to add to it in a financial way.
I'VE will surprise people when we get to
work, for we propose to play just as fast
ball eyed did the National League, and
we will have the men with which to deliver
the goods We may take some of the East
ern League players, but all of that depends

He denied that he would take the Milwau-
kee team to Philadelphia, and said as far as
he knew the men who played there last
season would play there this year. Phila-
delphia would have new team, and he was
confident it would be one that would be
credit to the city.
He would have been glad had it been pos
sible to have Boston in the circuit, but mat
tiers have not turned out so that that city
could be admitted so the American League
will have to get along without Boston for
the next campaign.
