TALK ON IRRIGATION
Chief Newell Has Little Use for It
In Western Oklahoma.
EXPERIMENTS In ARTESIAI WELLS.


Washington, April 20.--F. G. New
ell, division chief of the geological
survey, has very little confidence in
the success Of irrigation for western
Oklahoma. Mr.. Newell has just re-
turned from the southwest. He in
spected agricultural conditions In
the part Of Oklahoma near Texas
while examining the irrigation stu
alton. He Is Of the opinion that
where there are az good prospects
for crops as western Oklahoma af-
fords, the people will never have the
patience to wait for irrigation.
However, there will be thorough in
vestigation of the two or three sug-
gested reservoirs. One Of them Is
near Granite on the north fork Of
the Red river.
Thousands of letters have been re-
ceived from western Kansas and Ne
braska insisting upon experiments
In artesian wells, despite the fact
that great publicity was given to the
opinion given by the secretary OF
the interior that the law did not
contemplate experiments. In some
Of the points from which letters have
been received asking for experiments
IN artesian wells the geological for
nation proves there are 1000 feet OF
ehale.
'sThe fact IT," said Mr.. Newell, "a
new race Of people will have to go
into the semi-arid country before
very much will be done with irriga-
ton. The success Of the project re-
quires o population which will be
willing to farm S0-acre tracts
thoroughly, In country districts
which never have rains the people
understand that nothing can be
raised without irrigation and are
willing to undertake to cultivate
ANAL tracts, but in the semi-arid
districts where there are occasional
good seasons the farmers operate on
too extensive a scale for irrigation
purposes. Then, too, they haven't
the patience to wait for years for the
irrigation projects to be completed"
Plnn for Three Army Divisions.

JOCKEY SLOAN AT LAW.
Sues French Jockey Club for $40, OOO
Damages.

The suit of TOD Sloan, the American
Jockey. against the French Jockey CLUB
came I'D in the civil court at Paris yester-
day before a large attendance of sportsmen
and Jockeys Sloan claims $4,000 damages
for being warned off the turf in connection
with Count de Saint-Phalles Rose de Nal
winning the race for the Prix de Diane at
the Chantilly races May IT. 1903.
The case is attracting much attention, as
it involves the Jockey Clubs sole control
of the turf administration. Maitre Labor
began the presentation of Sloan's case by
protesting against the decision. The case
was adjourned for a week.
The stewards OF the French Jockey Club
May % last issued formal notification re-
citing that Tod Sloan had exercised Rose
de Mai at Chantilly May II without au-
thority, and therefore excluded him from
further entrance to the weighing Enclosures
or training grounds of the society. But it
was pointed out in the press at the time
that Sloan's exclusion was less for breach
of the rules in galloping Rose de Mai than
for spreading turf rumors." The filly's
trainer Brethes escaped with fine of $780,
The action of the stewards of the French
Jockey Club followed numerous incidents
connected with Rose de MATS victory in
the race for the Prix de Diane. one of the
classic events of the French turf. being
equivalent TO the English Oaks and worth
$4,000.
Charron, who superintendent the training
of the filly, challenged Marghiloman. an
other horseman. to fight duel, but their
seconds refused to let them fight.

DEALS IN BASE BALL.
st. Louis After Championship Team
for Next Season,

If Robert Lee Hedges. secretary of the st.
Louis American League club, is able 20
carry out his present plans st. Louis will
have real worlds fair ball team next
season.
Mr.. Hedges, who is in ST. Louis to attend
to some base ball business, says he has
practically closed negotiations for a second
baseman. He said that for the present he
thought it advisable to withhold the name
of the player, but he gives assurance that
he Is both experienced and capable.
Harry Gleason. our new fielder is a good
man, but if we get better one we are go
ing to do 1t. What we want is ball players
who can play the game good enough to give
st. Louis pennant winner in the American
League. and we intend to spare neither
money nor time in securing such players
Secretary Hedges also stated that other
new players besides second baseman were
liable to be with the Browns next season
1t is the opinion of Hedges that many
trades will be effected in both leagues dur
ing the coming winter. and he intends to
get in on some of the good things Barrett
of Detroit is one player whom the Browns
are after.

CHAMPION GOLFER.
The Seasons Many Leaders and What
Their Titles Cover.

review of the season now closing re-
peals a fulfllment of President Robertson
prediction of two years ago that golf In
America was destined to develop along ter
ritorial lines: 1t was in his closing speech
as retiring president of the United States
Golf Association that Mr.. Robertson ad-
vanced the theory that some day the ma
tionaI golf championships must be left to
the competition of men who had previously
shown their fitness in local championships,
and that the sectional association was the
logical outcome of the continued growth Of
the game.
In proof of this it may be said that more
state and sectional championships were
held this season than ever before. The ten
dency of clubs to band together in Gssocia-
tions representing some geogra phical dis
trict is becoming more and more marked,
and it is probable that in another season
every state in the Union will have its an
nual golf championship
This development is significant to those
who regard it as the ultimate salvation of
national tournaments. The growing dis
satisfaction with these tournaments is due
to the fact that they do not represent what
their title indicates. In other words, they
are not national at ALL usually held in New
York. Boston or Chicago. and seldom In
Guiding a player west of the Missouri river.
There has been considerable talk of an
other association Orga nlZed on broader lines,
but the trouble Is finding It's own solution in
the gradual increase OF state associations.
With these associations embracing the golf
ers of the country, it will be possible for
each association to send its champion to
the contest. and the winner would then re-
ceive title whose national character could
not be questioned. Such method would
also relieve the championship tournaments
OF an unwieldy entry of second class play
ers and enable the others to show their
best form unhampered by an unnecessary
crush.
Another marked feature of the season
Just closing has been the prominence taken
by women players. Miss Bessie Anthony.
winner of both national and western cham
pionships, has decided to withdraw from
the game. and, like Mrs. c. T. Stout. she
VIII leave her title to be fought for by
other aspirants next season. Miss Anthony
was recently married to B. s. Horne of
Pittsburg. golfer who has appeared with
success in several important tournaments.
and while still enthusiastic over the game,
she will not be as conspicuous in it as here
tofore.
Mrs. Edward A. Mance of the Baltusrol
Golf Club Is another woman who has dis
played marked ability this season. Mrs.
Manice won the women's metropolitan
championship. an honor held for the sec
ond time. and is strong favorite for the
national championship next season. In
New England the prominence of Miss

matter up hold that while some roughness
is to be expected in foot ball. the turning of
the game into a series of prize fights and

the arrest of the offenders.
