a Twirler. and Two Fast
Outflelders He May Land.

Manager Lotus was a busy man =,
the Senator's last trip. looking after new
talent with which 10 start his team nert
season.
He has signed Cassidy, who PLAYED
shortstop on the Harrisburg Indenen-
dent team. and also has a line out for
first baseman, pitcher, and two
hard hitting outfelders. Who these piav-
ers are LOTUS will not say. for fear
OF some other manager getting ahead

diets that If either is successful in land
ing him. he Will hold his own with any Of
the slabmen in the American League
Unexpired Contracts.
It was LOTUS intention TO try out Cas-
sidy at the. second station for the re-
mainder of the season. when he signed
him. but as the new man has a contract
with the Harrisburg team. which will
not expire until October 1, he will not
join the team until next spring Cassidy
has been hitting well this season and IL
was with the intention OF strengthening
the batting end OF the Washington team
that he was engaged. II the first base
man is secured, Clarke will be sent back
of the plate TO alternate with Kitrredge.

tiers too. and fast on their feet
II they make good. it is probable that
Ryan Will be the only Senator Of this
year 10 be found in the outer gardens
next season. Manager Lotus is OF the
opinion that Robinson is cut out for
third sacker and would make good in
that department. but as a better man
than Coughlin could hardly be secured.
il is probable that The Rabbit viii
be dropped from the clubs roster Mr..
LOTUS is undecided which pitcher he
will release. but it will in all probsb bill
" be Townsend.
Weakest of All Batters-
Weak batting has been the cause CT

rious aggregation OF batting failures ever
banded together.
The work Of the club n the box and
in the field has been fairly satisfactory.

players have shown up weak. All OF the

bases than any OF the present players.

in attempting to determine the most
potent factors that have contributed TO
the production OF the two-minute trot-
ter" says Budd Doble, In the illustrated
Sporting News" many different theories
are necessarily suggested, all possessing
more or less merit and entitled to be con-

based upon observation and an expert
enee OF nearly forty years.
Since the day OF my advent to the
trotting arena with Dexter, in 1856. vast
sums Of money have been expended In
the attempt to improve the blood of the
trotting horse. and this so-called 'scien-
tific breeding problem has claimed the
attention of some of the most brilliant
minds of the country. and yet In my
judgment It has accomplished compare
lively little toward the evolution OF the
two-minute trotter.
Where there was one horse bred for
harness racing forty years ago, many
hundreds are bred today, and still. with
all this immense number, am unable TO
discover that there has been any per-
ceptible improvement In the quality Of
racehorses that contest in important
races.
Breeding upon purely trotting lines has
undoubtedly produced a race Of horses
in which the trotting instinct has be-
come more intensified than il was in the
days when the only aim was the produc-
ton OF a common purpose horse. and his
speed was incidental; but in point OF
natural speed, stamina and gameness,
very much doubt If modern race follow

ARMY AND NAVY GAME
MAY Be PULLED OFF
West Point and Annapolis Likely
to Meet.

The feeling is gaining ground that
West Point and Annapolis will meet on
the gridiron again this season AT any
rate both institutions are going ahead
in their preparations as though game
had already been arranged.
Paul Dashiel, who is the athletic head
at the Naval Academy, is quoted as say
ing that there is strong possibility OF
the differences between the soldiers and
sailors being smoothed over. In fact. he
intimates that the authorities of the two
academies Will soon get together to see
what can be done in the matter.
All that the naval men demand is that
no ex-college players be allowed 10 play
in the annual games between the acade-
mics Mr. Dashiel speaks as II he is sure
that truce can be patched up to prevent
a break in the annual event.

ARTHUR DUfFEY TO
RETIRE FROM PATH
Worlds Champion Splinter
Shortly to Wed.
WILL RACE BUT ONCE MORE
When He Returns From Abroad This
Month He Will Enter N. Y.
A. C. Games.
WILL RACE BUT ONCE MORE

Arthur Duffey, the marvellous George
town sprinter. who has the distinction
of being the only man in the world who
has run 100 yards in 3-5 seconds, sailed
for home on the White Star Liner Gym
rio last Friday.
Duffey has been abroad little over
three months. and during that time he
has succeeded In capturing a trunkful
of trophies. In fact. he has been more
successful on this trip to England than
on any OF his previous trips, and he has
visited the home of King Edward three
times. He won the English champion
ship with comparative ease in 10 sec
onds. and lowered the record at several
championship meetings.
His Great Record.
He captured the championship Of Scot
land In 8 As seconds, clipping the record
figures for the country by two-fifths of
a second Then he travelled to Ireland
and at the championship meeting of the
Emerald Isle. held at Belfast, put the
Irish record to 10 seconds. The best
previous record was 10 1-5 seconds. His
third record-breaking performance was
at the Welsh championship meeting.
held at Pontypridd, where he put the
record fer his favorite distance to As
seconds. This time was three-ffths
of a second faster than the former
figures.
Duffey says in letter to a personal
friend that he could have put the record
for the British Isles to 3-5 seconds, but
for poor weather conditions just whe3
he was On edge to do the trick.
He Will arrive in America in the. same
fine condition that he was In when ne
departed for the British Isles. and Will
probably take part in the games OF the
New York Athletic Club. to be held at
Travers Island on September 26. ~
these games he will probably make one
more attempt TO reduce the sixty-yard
record Of 2-5 seconds, something he
has been ambitious to do for several
years.
To Retire and Marry.
This may be his last appearance on
the cinder path. for ne has planned to
go into business and get married during
the coming winter.
With the retirement of Duffey. America
will lose her greatest sprinter. There
have been many remarkable 100-yard
men before Dufey's time. but none have
been so consistent in their perform
ances. There Is no doubt among ath-
letes that Duffey. on the day that he put
the worlds record to 9 3-5 seconds.
could have given Lou Myers, John owen,
or Barney Wefers two yards start had
they been present in their very best
form.

Bisbee daily review., 1903-04-07

It is announced that another at tempt is to be made to establish a democratic morning paper in Los An geles. That city certainly is in need of such a paper. The new paper is promised to make it's appearance next week, but the names of those who will be in control of the enterprise have not yet been given out. We congrat ulate the democrats of the Angel city on the prospects of having a represen tative newspaper in their city. Both the morning papers of that city are now republican, the Times of the most virrlent type and the Herald moi far behind it, though more conserva tive and having more regard for the interests of the people. A democratic morning paper in Los Angeles should receive the hearty support of the dem ocrats of Arizona, as it's influence vii be for the strengthening of the party in this territory.

Bisbee daily review., 1903-04-07

With President Roosevelt raising higher the flag of the Monroe doctrine in his western speeches and Secretary Root talking tariff in Boston, the Roosevelt campaign may be said to be fairly launched and that it will be ac- tive from now until Mark Hanna calls to order the national republican con vention of 1904 there is no doubt. The present political activity of the pres ident and his administration warrants the inference that there is alarm in the Rough Rider camp. The Monroe doctrine is popular in the west and the high protective tariff principle is popular in the city Of Boston, so it will be seen that the plan of the Roosevelt campaign will be to strike the popular chord by timing the speeches to suit the locality where they are delivered. Mir. Roots Bos- ton speech may be accepted as a final declaration of the administration that 10 measure of tariff reform will be permitted by the next congress. This should be sufficient to allay any alarm that may have disturbed the trust magnates because of anything that has heretofore been threatened in ad- ministration circles. So long as the present high taflff remains on the trust made goods the magnates will loose little sleep over any other form of proposed trust regulation. So long as the president sticks to the Monroe doctrine he will have nothing to fear, as that doctrine is an old popular one with the American people. besides it gives him the opportunity to inferen- tially direct his attention to his war record. and that of his country which is all right

ARIzoNA,s POSSIBILITIES

Arizona is evidently destined this year to have prosperity thrust upon her. There has been a heavier snow fall then for many years past and dur ing the past ten days a general rain deposited close 10 two inches Of water on ground prepared to receive and re- tain it. The rainy season will be here in three months and there IS every reason to believe that 1t will be a confirmation of the present condi- tions and that there will be an abund- ance of water. Seasons run under the law of chance, as do many other phe- romeaa, in cycles, and it is safe 10 predict about three seasons in sue cession having much the same char acteristics. Three seasons of abund- snce will mean a long step in advance for Arizona The prospect of gov ernment reservoir 10 be built within 2 year is excellent. This if successful will be a sure foTerunner of several others and a very few years more will see sthe heavy interests or the territory safeguarded securely from the uncertainties of desert condi' tions. The future of the southwest is rich in possibilities. Like the early days of California, mineral develop ments is now paramount, but the time may come in the time of some of us now living, when it will rank among the great producers of beef and fruit The only thing lacking is water. Ari zona fruit is far superior to the Ca!i fornia product in quality, and .h:s climate is better adapted 10 many tropical and semi-tropical fruits thah Is that of the golden state. The soi needs only water to produce the Ga7si alfalfa in the world, and alfalfa mel l"; fat cattle, horses and hogs. The next few years may reyolutionize the status of the southwest in spite of tho prophet Beveridge.
