mistakes and delivered gasoline instead
of coal oil, and that afterward had gone
around and corrected all the errors except
at Mr.. Thompson's. Mr.. Hooper says
that there is not the slightest foundation
for the report-that he made no mistakes
at the Thompson's or elsewhere. There
is no need to seek for an explanation of
the explosion on the ground that the fluid
used was gasoline, as coal oil explodes as
readily as gasoline when the conditions
are favorable.

Chicago News. There are 4 number OF
features that to the interested spectator
are beyond his ken. Some of these aS-
gravating mysteries are directly caused
by the peace estab!i ned in the baseball
world. while others relate entirely to the
way the players will work out In the early
spring and the way the team Will shape
no for its championship season. Not
only are these questions a mystery TO the
fan. hut President Comisk.y himself -
unable to answer them.
There is a wealth of material. so far
as numbers count for wealth, on C.mis.
keys reserve list-two men for almost
every position. and in some instances
more than that. How strong these play.
ers will be when they are pittei against
other hail clubs remains to be seen Be
sides, there is the question as to whether
certain ones will come to terms with the
Old Roman and report for the work. Dis

greatest interest by the friends OF the

ing the proper foundation for long distance
running.
turf, no frequently recurring fences. and
net much favorable weather. The change
of seasons IS abrupt. the ground either too
hard with Sun-bake or too soft with frost
and rain and grass entirely too scarce.
In England weeds do not attain growth
and hide fences as in America. Then care
full British farmers roll all their pasture
fields and they keep smooth and velvety

FOR CROSS-COUNTRY WORK.
I'm other words. there is very little
country suitable for cross-country running
in America and very little climate. To at
tempt to train for long distance events by
running from FIVE to twenty-five miles on
a track is killing work. and Americans
will not do It. 1t is too m~onotonous and
wearisome. Roads in this country are al
50 unsuitable for such work. In England
there is generally a selvage of grass and
turf on the roadsides. which is very good
going indeed.
ON the whole. I lay the great superior
ity Of the English distance men. not to any
heredity probably has a certain effect. hut
to conditions of soil and climate. which
render distance and cross-country running
q pleasure in England. whereas. 1t is a
pain. If not indeed. an impossibflity in
America"
ENGLISH GIRLS CROSS COUNTRY.
Would you be surprised If 1 told you
that English girls. young ladies Of arts
tocratic birth and highest education. not
infrequently accompany their brothers in
c~ross-country runs? To be sure they do
not go in on any ding-dong affairs or go
in a general company of men.
I'm England We have many beagle and
basset hound clubs. These small. short
legged dogs hunt hares by scent. They
do not run very fast and jump lily. Their
biped followers can keep, well up with
them, especially as the hares which they
hunt run in small circles around the place
from which they are disturbed. The girls
very often take part In these beagle and
bassett hound hunts. Indeed, there is a
pack of bassett hounds in England hunted
by ladies alone.
There IS not a real c~ross-country club
in America A few Eastern clubs have a
run once in a while. but the country they
cross is poor and the runs infrequent. In
England We begin in October and keep at
it until April. All sorts of athletes. foot
ball players, crfcketers, etc. take to cross
country running just to keep in condition.
Under such circumstances is 1t reason
able to expect Americans to successfully
compete with English distance men?"
