LANDS RESTORED TO ENTRY
Geological Survey Makes Adverse Re-
port and Secretary Of Interior
Issues Restoring Order.

Those who have been hopeful that
the national government would under
take reclamation of the lands in the
Musselshell valley which were with
drawn from entry and surveyed are
doomed to disappointment. After max
ing the survey the United States geo
logical survey has recommended to the
secretary of the interior that the lands
be restored to entry, investigation
having shown that they are not sus-
ceptible of irrigation by the contem-
plated project.

OLD BALL PLAYERS.
Location Of Heroes Of the Diamond
Who Have Faded From View.

The sudden death Of Hardie Henderson,
the veteran base ball pitcher. has caused
the Philadelphia North American to revive
me mories Of some Of the old players of the
eighties and tell what has become of men
who on the diamond in their day set the
crowds wild with enthusiasm. The writer
asserts that in those days ball players
seemed to be made OF better stun physi-
caliy than at the present time. They stood
for more work and lasted longer.
Two catchers, three and not more than
four pitchers, four infielders, not over three
outfelders and in many cases only two,
as the pitchers and catchers were pressed
into service to alternate between the pitch
er's box and the outfield, and at most not
over one general utility man made up the
full quota Of our teams in those days.
Notwithstanding that the pitching was
much more effective then than now, be-
cause the pitchers were not SO far re-
moved from the plate, the batting, as the
records show. was fully as heavy. II not
heavier, than now. And then pitchers did
not consider themselves overworked by

ment Tor American League.
There IS but one thing to say anent the
base ball situation in New York, which is
this: 1t cannot possibly be that the Ameri-
can League has had reason for giving up all
hope of locating a club there because of Its
inability to secure grounds. as has been
contended by some Of the National League
magnates. If that were the case the Amer
lean League would pc foolish to keep I'D it's
stand, but had better be looking elsewhere
to place the eighth club Of its league. Indi-
cations are that the American still. has
chance to make good its promise, and
good chance at that. or the men Interested
in that organization would waste no more
time fooling with the New York proposition.
Incidentally. it must not be overlooked that
the fact that the American League is find
ing it a hard natter to secure grounds in
New York Is giving the proposed club there
millions Of dollars worth of advertising and
should the plans be carried out the club Is
sure to get the bulk of the patronage. even
though its grounds are not as accessible as
those Of the National League in that city.
Furthermore, the obstacles which have been
thrown in the way OF the American League
in that city will arouse sentiment In its
favor If 1t succeeds in putting a club there.

cRANBERRIEs IN WISCONSIN.
Plans Under Way to Revive the In.
dustry.

"The cranberry industry in Wisconsin
which received such a setback by fires sew
eral years ago Is to be revived and plans
are under way to build 1t up to enormous
proportions" said Albert T. Gaskins Of
Madison. Wis. to Star man at the New
Willard this morning.
s.The state legislature has been appealed
to for an appropriation to conduct expert
ments for carrying on the work. of the
growers. Before the dry seasons that de-
stroyed such a large proportion Of the
cranberry vines Wisconsin was q large
grower Of the little red berries that make
such a pleasing accessory to King Turkey
and other fowls. Though no scientific at
tention had been given to the industry the
output amounted to nearly 100000 In value
annually. The fires burned up nearly 80 per
cent OF the vines and almost totally ruined
the industry. Since that time few OF the
leading growers have striven to get the in
dustry back on its old footing.
1.-THE Doggy, marshy lands in the central
part of the state are conceded to be among
the finest cranberry lands in the country.
and the state will only come to the help
of the growers there Is every reason to be-
Heve Wisconsin will soon become the first
state In the Union In the production of the
berries"

BOWLING.
Business Men Won Three Games From
Carroll Institute.

The South Washington Business Mems
Club took three games from the Carroll In
stitute bowling team in match on the for
mers alleys Monday night. The home team
played an excellent series of games and
was good many pins ahead Of its oppo-
nents in each game, winning without great
difficulty. No one Of the league teams
shifted its standing as result Of the Sc
ries, but the CAROLS are surely letting
their pennant chances for 1903 slip away
from them. The Business Men are without
doubt playing much stronger game than
they did earlier in the season, the addition
Of DR.. Cobey to their ranks giving them
considerable strength. Besides this. Kidd
has gone back into the game in his old
style form, and the veteran is delighting
his friends with his good work But In
Mondays games every man on the team
made good, and, strange to say the only
score in the three games that went below
$50 was made by Armstrong, who has been
leading the league and has been looked
upon as the mainstay of his five, The Car
rolls played fairly good set, but Stitt and
Rice fell of in their scores in the last two
games, and the side was weakened thereby.
These men have. however, been putting up
some rafting scores so far this season, and
they simply had one Of those unlucky
nights that fall to the lot Of bowler when
he least expects 1t. The Business Mems
alleys have been getting a reputation for
fast games and they are probably about
the best in the District League
The first game was the best played and
the closest of the set, both teams getting
fine totals and scoring close together
throughout. The CAROLS got little the
better Of the start and led by small mar
gin for a few innings. But Dr. Cooley start
ed a triple at the fourth frame that gave
his side a slight advantage, and from that
point the teams were about on even terms
for several frames. In the seventh "Bil1"
Kidd started striking and kept 1t up till the

The hockey team of Queens University

and beat the boys in blue by score of
Z to 2. .f7@E
As Is usually the case when Canadians
meet hockey players OF the United States
the boys from Queens College excelled IN
grace and speed. They skated without ap--
parent effort and handled their sticks as If
it Were second nature. The ease with
which they circled about the Yale players
and the certainty with which they passed
the puck back and forth across the rink
accounted Tor the Aze of the score.
The spectators were about evenly divided
The Canadians had plenty of friends
among the girls. who cheered loudly at
their victory. One pretty miss from Can

Cup Defenders Progress.

G. Oliver Iselin, the managing owner OF
the proposed cup defender. inspected the
yacht at Bristol yesterday in company
with the designer, n. G. Herreshof, and on
leaving expressed himself as well satisfied
with the progress Of the boat.
Capt. Charles Barr, who will command
the new boat, was also visitor to the
yards and said that a majority OF the
crew would report for duty on April 20.
From this 1t is believed that the yacht will
be launched a few days later and taken
out on her trial trip in Narragansett bay
about May 8. This is nearly three weeks
ahead Of the Constitution in 1901 and over
a month ahead of the time when the Co.
lurnbia had her first trial In 1899.
Captain Barr said that the crew had been
selected, the number being 48. He was
noncommittal as to their nationality.

International Billiards.

The two Americans. George Slosson and
George Sutton, met in Paris last night IN
the international championship billiard
tournament, eighteen-inch balk- line, two
shots in, and Sutton won by a score of
500 to 3O6. This makes two defeats for
Slosson and one defeat and one victory
for Sutton. Sutton went out in the twenty
sixth inning, making the excellent average
of 10 6-26. Experts declared after the
game that his position play excelled that
of Vignaux on the previous night. At the
end of the twenty-second inning the score
was 4O8 to IA in Suttons favor, when
Slosson made a pronounced brace and gath
cred in 1872 in the next four innings. Slos-
son and Cure will play tonight.
