HIGH SCHOOL CHAMPIONSHIPS
Manager Thompson Hopes to Organize
Southern intercollegiate Association
New Combination of Candidates
Works Well-Daily Work in Plenty.

From present indications 1t is not like
ly that Georgetown University will hold
a track and field meet this spring. This
is unfortunate. To many it seems that
not holding it is a mistake, not only from
an athletic, but from a business stand
point, for after the very successful in
door meet held on February % last, and
which had big attendance, and was so
profitable in every way, the most natural
thing would have been to follow it UP with
an outdoor affair. The interest in the
events was created, and the same people
would have come to view the outdoor
contests.
Mr.. NJ. ]. Thompson, graduate athletic
manager at. the college, is believed to
favor holding such meet. and regrets
that the annual feature must be left out
this time.
There is always difficulty in securing
the presence of the first-class performers
from the various big colleges, and often
at this season it is not an easy matter to
get entries from the small colleges and
schools, and So after all, the failure to
hold the meet may be owing to the diff
culties the management found impossible
to overcome, and rather than give a poor
meet decided to hold no meet at all.
Athletics in the South.
1t has for long time been the ambition
of Manager Thompson to hold a meet in
this city, the entries for which would
come from Southern colleges and schools.
Preliminary to which. a Southern inter-
collegiate association would be formed,
and all this for the purpose of encourag-
ing and increasing the interest in pure
sports in the section where track and
field sports are not in particularly -four
ishing condition.
The intention is II such an organi-
zation Is effected. that the spring and fall
meets will be held in various centers
included in the association, and thus con-
stantly keep the interest at fever heat.
and thus develop lot of good material
which now lacks something like this to
bring it out.
The plan meets with general approval
and it is hoped that preliminary steps
will be taken early enough to at least
effect organization by next fall.
High School Meet.
Two big meets are on the tapis now. The
first, that of the Y. NJ. C. A, at Associa-
tion Park, May "a, and tie annual track
and field games of the local High Schools
to decide the individual and team cham
pionships. Mr.. NJ ]. Thompson will again
manage the affair and M. William Foley,
formerly coach at Georgetown, is here
doing like work for the Centrals. and it is
his opinion that it will be the best meet
the schools have given. The event will
be held on Georgetown Field.

Racing Bowling Shooting
A DEPARTMENT FOR THE ATHLETES AND THE SPORTS

The compounder of medicines had
been making a rheumatism liniment
for another weIl-known bowler, George
r. Baker, for some time, and the fluid
had acted like charm. With perfect
candor and in all earnestness this
druggist recommended the liniment to
Griesha Der and gave him several bot
ties to take with him on the Florida
"trip.
''Mr. Baker says he never would
have been able to bowl all winter if
he had not had this liniment," re-
marked the druggist.
''Well, / took the bottles with me-"
said Mr.. Grieshaber, but soon after
getting to Florida the rheumatism
left me. l had no use for the drug
gists' compound, but [ left it in the
baggage. Well, we went to Cuba.
Of course we had to see the new re-
public, and our visit in that island
was marked by a succession of hor-
rors. The sand feas nearly drove us
crazy. We could battle every hour,
wear the strongest kind of duck cloth
ing-do anything-but the fieas made
life miserable The women folks es-
pecially had a hard time with the pets.
Finally, in desperation one day, got
out the rheumatism cure, and thinking
its odor might BE unpleasant to the
'Spaniards'-ou name for the feas-
bathed myself in the queer-smelling
fluid. Judge of my surprise to find
that I was immune from attack. The
fieas passed me up. [ gave up the Sc
cret to othsvs in our party, and there
after we wee the talk of the province
in which we we're stopping.
upon arriving home in Chicago,

told him his medincine was the best

drag in Bakers name and said some
thing about taking out a patent in

CORN FOR THE SILO.
when the Ears Are just Thinking
About Glazing Then Is the Proper
Time to Cut Them

NY time for cutting the corn for the
silo is as near as may be when the
ears are just thinking about glazing.
When it is too old for me to eat, it is
old enough for my silo. [ do not in
tend to run counter to the scientific
fellows by saying 1 am not robbing my
silage of dry properties it might have
acquired if I had not interfered, but
I have imprisoned for my cows the
sweet juices and flavors so much rel
ished in the managers, writes a Penn
sylvanian to the National Stockman.
If the corn lacks moisture in the lat
ter part of it's season, the lower blades
will dry and drop before the harden
ing process is operative at the ears.
Then that corn should be cut, for
what it may gain in dry matter above
it is losing in dry matter below If
one has small silo and few acres,
and the filing is a small matter of two
or three days, then he can bide his
time and cut when everything appears
to be just right. We have 16 acres
growing for the silos, and as we like
to fill slowly, our cutting will extend
over a period of possibly three weeks.
By filling slowly we consider we get
about 20 per cent. more in our silos
than by simply filling them and pass
ing on. Silage does not begin to do it's
business settling for about week,
and it is our rule to cut quite rapidly
for two or three days, then proceed
more slowly by stopping day and cut
ting day alternately. We use low
wagons and corn harvester some
times, but when an acre turns off 20
tons or more the harvester we have
doesn't succeed in getting it in very
far. We have man in the silo and in
struct him to keep the outsides some
what higher than the center. This
man is supposed, as Bob Seeds would
say, to "keep a-goin', keep a-goin'."

Ben Grieshaber, one of the best
known bowlers in the country, captain
of the Standard team that won the
five-men team championship of the
United States in 1901, and prominent
business man, tells one of the best
stories of the year on trip he just
made to Cuba with his wife. The fieas
that made life almost unbearable for
the members of the Grieshaber party
in the Queen of the Antilles, have held
a convention, doubtless by this time,
and have passed resolutions declaring
that the bowler and his medicine are
worse than Wyler and his reconcen-
trado camps ever dreamed of being.
Grieshaber occasionally got rheu-
matism in mis- left arm-that's the rea-
son he never ascribed the trouble to
overindulgence in rolling the big lig-
mum vitate ball. He determined to
go to Florida to get rid of the pains.

the news that there would be a
months vacation in the palm groves
at Miami.

Bowel TrOubIe I'm Fowls.

Bowel trouble" says the Country
Gentleman, lis frequent in some
poultry yards during the hot season.
In most cases it is preventable. Foul
drinking water, putrid meat and sour
food all tend to produce diarrhea in
the flock. Observe strict cleanliness
in the houses and yards, and give the
birds only pure food and water. Plow
or dig over the runs frequently, sow
them down to rye or other grain and
so keep the ground sweet. Foul runs
are a prolific source of disease. Keep
the grit and charcoal box full, so that
the birds may have free access to
them. Remember that one keep
clean is worth many clean ups Do
not feed meat food too heavily while
the weather is hot, and be sure that
the fowls have plenty of fresh green
food or clean grass run. Don't over
feed. Quarantine all new arrivals"
