LITTLE MIRRORS THE BEST.
Large Glasses Do Not Reflect as Wei.
as the Small Ones


In the mirrors of to-day the light is
reflected by a layer of silver or al
cnalgam of tin, but proportion o:
hight is lost in the process of reflec-
ticn. and the image is less luminous
tnan the original. The value of q
|, oking-giass is usually estimated by
the thickness of the glass be
cause the thicker it is the stronger
IL must be. But speaking scientifcal-
" thick glasses are defective, because
tie outlines of the image reflected arc
ie's clearly defined. An ideal mirror
is one with peri ect,y fiat surface
But 1t is only possible to obtain this
result in comparatively small glasses.
lhe larger glasses do not reflect true
image. because it is not possible to
make them quite fiat.

Yale,s Athletic Finances.

A net profit for the college year 19o2-'03 of
s1,014.3T is shown by the annual report of
''rhe Yale Financial Union which includes
the foot ball, base ball and athletic assoca-
lions and the boat club. The preceding
years profits from these branches of ath-
letics amounted to S. SILL 60, but the figures
for 19o2-o3 are considered encouraging be-
cause of the unusually. large expenditure in
that year for the maintenance of Yale field
amounting to $22,600, as against only s.. 800
in the previous year This increased ex-
pense was due to the erection of new stands
and changes in old ones. The report says
that although Yale athletics can by no
means be said to be self-supporting the
present system shows a great Improvement
in the financial situation over that of former
times.

PEACE DOUBTFUL.
Californians Insist on Keeping
Dillon.

A special from New York says that Man.
ager Hanlon of the Brooklyn Base Ball
Club. who has just returned from the Cali
fornia peace conference, was in New York
yesterday attending meeting of the East
ern League circuit committee as representa-
tive of the Baltimore club.
Hanon for the first time had something
to say on the Ridgewood Sunday ball dis
pute between the Greater New Yorks and
the Brooklyn club.
Il see 1t published said Hanlon, that
on behalf of the Brooklyn club l agreed
with Frank Farrell last fall at the Benning
race track to share the Sunday dates at
Ridgewood with the Greater New Yorks
wish to deny this statement. Mr. Farrell
spoke to me about Sunday games but did
not mention Ridgewood. / did not know
what place he was talking about In the
second place. / have no authority to make
any such arrangement if 7 wanted to- A
matter of that kind would be I'D to the
board of directors of the Brooklyn club. L
thlnk Ridgewood IS in our territory and L
would certainly object to any other club
dividing our patronage with u.s.
So far as the playing end of the Brook
lyn club IS concerned, my word is abso-
lutte Individually / have nothing to do
with the business end and have no mower
whatever to make the ARRANGEMENT spoken
of by Mr.. Farrell"
Speaking of the results of the California
conference, Hanlon said There appears
TO be only one player in dispute just now
between the Pacific Coast League and the
National League. That is Frank Dillon,
who played first base for the Los Angeles
team last year and early in the season
signed to play with the Brooklyn club this
year. President Morley of Los Angeles
now claims Dillon. L can say this: If Dill
Ion does not play with Brooklyn there will
be no national agreement We lost Cor
bett. Hughes. Newton and Schmidt to the
coast League and have conceded enough,
Morley is quoted as saying:
Say for me that if Dillon is to be the
price OF peace, as reported, there will be
no peace in baseball The peace agreement

BAN JOHNSON ARRIVES

A sensational twist was given to the
pending sale of the Washington base ball
club this morning. when it become known
that j. Earl Wagner of Philadelphia, the
old owner of the. Sena tors. Is the man who
is bidding against the McLean-Wa dsworth-
Dwyer syndicate for the control of the local
team. Walter Hewitt has been an active
man the past two weeks in obtaining capt.
tai to purchase the team. but has all along
maintained a strict secrecy as to who was
back of his offer.
Late yesterday afternoon j. Earl Wagner
in conference with President Ban johnson,
who reached the city last evening. Mr..
Wagner has always taken great interest
in base ball. never letting go entirely of
his connection with the national game since
his retirement through the absorption of
the Washington club by the National
League, and he is still as great an enthusi-
asst of old.
Whether the Washington patrons will
stand for his return to this city is ques-
ton. but the Philadelphia man has evil

to give out regarding the sale of the club,

ucaily been closed and that few minor
details are all that keep off the final con-

President Johnson was seen this morning
by an Evening Star reporter, but would say
nothing as regards the negotiations. He
simply remarked that too much had been
published about the sale of the Washington
club already. and that until everything had
been fixed up there was no news for the
