Fanny Answers to the Question: "Uo
You Use Intoxicating
BeverREea."

Among the regular questions to be
answered by applicants for admission
to she examinations in the city of
New York is the following. says \. ".
Jones, in McClurc's: ''Do you use in
toNicating beverages, and il so, to
what eNtcni?" Ii was Yankee who
replied: "No. but take drink" and
IL was II Swcdc who carefully estimat-
ed the extent of his indulgence at zone
glass of beer in ten days" The birth
place of Il man who wrote that he did
use Intoxicating beverages "but not as
an occupation" is not recorded, but
the nationality of the mournful ap-
plicant who also drank. but mot to
success" may well be n matter of
doubt. One applicant Of simple vocnb-
ulary was content t. responds: "Yes-
mild" while another added the assur-
ancc that he drank in "gcntlcmanly
way Still another sought to remove
all prejudice from the minds Of the
examiners by stating that he never
used any beverages" at all, and one
Of his companions admitted using
them, though mot effectively"
The commOncst answer to the uues-
ton consists either OF the single word
moderately" or of some equivalent
phrase, which, on the whole, seems TO
the examiners tho most suitable re.
sponse. Perhaps the honest soul who
reported himself almost temperate"
was fair representative. Sometimes
by slip the applicant will write the
reverse OF what he obviously intended,
as whcn recently one said "immodcr-
alton" and another rcplied: Eyes, to
no extent"

JUNIORS AND SENIORS
FAVOR BASKETBALL
Knickerbacker Hall Girls Take
Lively Interest in the
Sport.
WILL PLAY OTHER TEAMS
Young Women Have Acquired a
Great knowledge of Game
This Season.

Basketball is now the principal pastime
and sport of the schools of Indianapolis.
More interest is taken in the game this
year than ever before in this city, and pri-
vate schools have adopted it as the chief
form of exercise and amusement. The
members of the senior and junior classes at
Knickerbacker Hail. private school for
girls and young women, have organized
teams and are practicing daily in the school
gymnasium. Mrs. Wolfe, athletic and
physical culture director at the school, has
been coaching the teams, and they are
about ready to meet the other girls teams
in the city.
Games will soon be arranged with the
girls teams of Shortridge, Training School.
Butler College and Girls Classical School.
Mrs. Wolfe believes that basketball affords
the best kind of winter exercise for the
young women and is firm supporter of
the sport, The young women have acquired
a great knowledge of the game and be-
lieve they will be able to make a good
showing against some of the stronger
teams of the city.
Basketball is not altogether new at
Knickerbacker Hall, but this is the first
season that all of the students have taken
an interest in the sport. Other teams may
be formed at the school in the near future.

AND PLAY 154 GAMES
National League Makes Arrange
ments to Prevent Champion
ship Series.
WILL NOT CONSOLIDATE

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-The National
League of Professional Baseball Clubs. at
its second days session at the Hotel Vic
toria, decided to lengthen the baseball sea-
son. This will not allow the teams of the
two major leagues who win the pennants to
play for the championship of the world.
The board decided that each club shall play
154 games with each other club, instead Of
40 games as was called for in last seasons
schedule. The schedule committee will try
to so arrange the schedule that each club
will have enough off days so that postponed
games will not be played on the same day
with a scheduled game
The following board of directors was
elected: A. H. Soden. Boston; James A.
Hart, Chicago; John 7. Brush. New York,
and Barney Dreyfuss. Pittsburg
Barney Dreyfuss, Pittsburg; James A.
Hart, Chicago, and Charles III. Ebbetts,
Brooklyn, were chosen as the schedule COM
mittee. The other committees named are:
Rules Committee-James A; Hart. Chi
cago; Max c. Fleischman, Cincinnati; Ed
ward Hanlon, Brooklyn.
Committee on observation-disclosures Herr
mann, Cincinnati: John t. Brush, New
York; James Potter, Philadelphia.
The season will open about April Is and
continue until Oct. TO-
The uniform contract that was approved
by the national commission was adopted by
structed to vote at a meeting OF the ma
tional commission for a rule to declare in
eligible any player who jumps contract
with any league a party to the national
agreement.
The league adopted a rule that clubs of
the league must waive claim to the services
Of a player before he could be signed by a
club of another league.
The rumor of consolidation with the Amer
lean League was denied tonight with a
vehemence that seems to settle the question
for this year at least.
Garry" Hermann declared that he had
never given the matter a thought, and
added: TT seems to me that the country is
large enough to support two major leagues"
Harry Won Der Horst declared that there
was absolutely nothing in the consolidation
talk and the other owners said that it was
a foolish matter to even discuss.
The meeting will be continued tomorrow.
The annual meeting of the Pittsburg
baseball club was held in Jersey City to-
day. Barney Dreyfuss was reelected presi-
dent and w. H. Locke secretary and treas
urer.

WORK ON NORTH FRONT
TO BE COMMENCED SOON
Architect Rankin Favors South
Terrace for the Harrison
Monument.

John H. Rankin, architect of the new
federal building. is in the city inspecting
the work of the building. Although the
contractors are slightly behind in their
work, Mr.. Rankin said that the delay was
excusable for the reason that several
strikes have interfered, which caused the
men to lay off because sufficient material
could not be obtained
Mr.. Rankin says that work on the north
front of the building will begin very short
ly. A heavy stone cornice is to be placed
about the front and sides of the building.
There is some fear among the wOrkmen
that these large blocks will crumble should
cold weather come before they are set.
Mr.. Rankin has been consulted in regard
to the place for the monument of the late
Benjamin Harrison. He does not agree
with the selection made by the Indianapolis
committee appointed to select a site. Mr.
Rankin believes that the monument should
be placed on the terrace at the south side
of the building and not on the grass spot
lust below the terrace.
