A circular issued ny the war depart
ment to the army gives the text of a
letter received by the secretary of war
from Representative Littlefield +
Maine, relative to the anticanteen act
and the secretary's reply. In his letter
Mr.. Littlefield states that be is the au-
thor of the inticanteen amendment and
adds:
81 regret to say that an impression
prevails that the officers in the army
are not adverse to the legislation, but
are prejudiced against it. If this is
true it has created an unfriendly at
mosphere that not only will impair
the efficiency of the recreation and
amusement feature, but will of itself
practically defeat the objects of the
legislation.
Secretary Taft, in reply, said:
II think you are correct in assuming
that a great majority of the officers in
the army regard the anticanteen amend
ment as i'll advised, and as likely to in
crease rather than decrease drunkenness
in the ranks. Indeed, must admit tc
you that, as at present advised, share
their opinion. y
The secretary then says he recognizes
that it was the intention of those who
avored the amendment to substitute fol
the canteen a post exchange, and that
the question whether the present sys
tenn is to be maintained or the canteer
restored with the privilege of drinking
beer and light wines only, will be set
tied by congress after careful investi
cation.

Portland, Ore.-Judge A. H. Tanner,
United States Senator Mitchell's law
partner, confessed in Judge Bellinger's
court Saturday afternoon to perjury
in his evidence before the federal
grand jury in connection with the in-
vestigation of the land frauds in this
state, when testimony was being tax
en- with a view to connecting United
States Senator Mitchell, now under
five indictments, with the conspiracy
to defraud the government.
Tanners confession shows that there
was business agreement between
Mitchell and Tanner that Mitchell was
to have the proceeds of practice of the
law firm in the federal courts and that
Tanner should have the proceeds re-
sulting from practice before any of the
government departments which would
involve Senator Mitchells oath de
claring he would not take part in any
law proceeding in which the govern
ment is Interested
Judge Tanner made the following
statement to a representative of the
Associated Press:

QUESTION OF
BUNKERS
Attracting the Attention
of Many Crack
Golfers.

Crack golfers nowadays are turning
their attention to the bunkers. and con
siderable criticism has been aroused in
connection with the various courses.
For instance, P. c. Pulver, the expert,
in recent interview said:
We'll bunkered golf courses are the
aim of the green committees the world
over these days. There are bunkers
and bunkers, some being worse than
useless, so far as forming any sort of
an authority than H. Fl. Hilton, for in
stance, a former champion of Great
Britain, has taken exception to the new
bunkers at Hanger Hill, built of turf
laid one on top of the other in the
fashion of a brick wall. These call to
mind the perpendicular bunkers which
so tried the patience of the advertising
agents at their tournament last sum
mer.
1.-The objection to these hazards is
that the too perpendicular face, max
ing, as it does, a right angle with the
bottom of the bunker. frequently makes
it impossible for the ball to be ex-
tracted- in forward direction. In
that event the stroke must be played
backward or sidewise, thus affording in
sufficient scope for the art of recovery.
- 1t is generally admitted that the
ideal hazard is the seaside bunker,
r where shape and depth are diversified,
affording variety of shots, and usu-
! ally the possibility to the skillful
player of escaping in one shot in a
more or less forward direction. I'm
| fortunately, it is quite impossible to
reproduce these desirable characters
ties in artificial bunkers. The latter
do not stop the balls, more especially
since the rubber-cored variety came
into universal use. Therefore. the
great merit of the perpendicularfac
bunker is its stopping power.
To fail to carry it means to stay in
it, and that is surely the aim of the
hazard to effectually penalize a poor
shot. Possibly this type OF hazard does
afford less scope for gifts of recovery,
but, after all, if a person gets in a
hazard he deserves to lose a stroke,
and no one need lose more in these
bunkers if he contents himself with
merely playing out.
1.-The chief advantage of this style
of artificial bunker is Its stability.
The usual form with sloping banks is
nearly always in a state of despair and
frequently in ruin. On the other hand,
the turf built type, although it costs
more to make, is cheaper in the long
run, for it requires no repairing.
The problem for inland green com
mittees is not an easy one, but it is
quite likely this style of bunker pre-
sents the best solution of the difficulty.
There is no denying the impoverish-
ment of the sport of which Hilton COM
plains, but it is comparatively slight
and the same for everybody. What is
more, there are arguments regarding its
cheapness that count in its favor

THE ORIGIN
Of BASEBALL

A difference of opinion as to the
origin of baseball led Albert G. Spald-
ing of New York, Samuel Winslow of
Worcester, Mass, and Charles H. Mac
donald of Yonkers, n. Y, to pay a
visit to John w oliver, the veteran
editor of the Yonkers Statesman. Mr..
Oliver is ninety-one years of age, but
is still active and at his desk every
day. Mr. Spalding had heard that
the editor of the Statesman had played
baseball long before there was any
published record of the game, and the
visit was made to hear something
about the game as it was played prior
to 1880. Henry Chadwick had claimed
that baseball developed from the En-
glish game of FOUNDERS While Mr..
SpaIding is of the opinion that the
game had it's origin in the colonial
game of lone old cat"
Mr.. Oliver said that his recollection
was clear as to how the game was
played from 1925 to 1885 in Baltimore.
He said it was known as baseball as
far back as 1925 and that the players
ran bases just as they do now. So
far as the official records of baseball
go, this year completes the sixtieth
year of the life of baseball.

CALIFORNIA GETS
BANCROFT LIBRARY

Hubert Howe Bancroft has sold his
valuable reference library to the Uni
versity of California. the sale having
been completed yesterday afternoon,
after several weeks of negotiations be-
tween the Regents of the University
and Mr.. Bancroft This library, which
consists of over $4,000 volumes dealing
with the history of Western North
America-and particularly of Califor-
nia-from the earliest times and con-
tains many books and pamphlets i'm
possible TO duplicate. was collected by
Mr.. Bancroft to furnish material for
been stored for a number of years in
a building specially erected far out on
Valencia street After Mr.. Bancroft
completed the writing of his histories
he felt that he had no further use for
the library himself, and he was very
DESTROYS that it should remain intact
and pass into the possession of the
State. Professor Henry Morse Ste
phens of the University first advo-
Gated the purchase of the library by
ter was enthusiastically taken up by
Regent Rudolph Taussig. president Of
the Mechanics Institute, and by
President Benjamin Ide Wheeler, Pro-
lessor Reuben Gold Thwaites of the
State Library of Wisconsin came to
California last month for the express
purpose of examining this library and
reporting to the Regents on it's value.
His verdict, although not officially an
nounced, is known to have been favor
able. Yesterday a number of the Re
gents met with the historian and the
result was that the University became
possessed of the finest reference Ii
brary of it's own States history that is
owned by any educational institution
in the United States.-Chronicle.

FOOTBALL.
SURPRISES
Season Has Seen One
of Unexpected
Results.

This has been season of football
surprises. They began when Swarth-
more beat Cornell 40, and Princeton
lost to Dartmouth, go
Then Pennsylvania was tied by La
fayette 6-6 and Columbia was over
whelmed by Yale $50.
Another surprise was when Harvard
We're twice scored on in defeating the
Indians.
Pennsylvania next upset calculations
by defeating Harvard 1876 in most de-
cisive fashion and then Princeton beat
Cornell 1876.
The surprise continued when Prince
ton, thought to have an equal chance
with Yale, was beaten 23-4.
Columbia. regarded as the plaything
of the Blk Six" sustained the repu-
tation of the season by triumphing over
Cornell 1876.
Harvard's close game with Yale was
a great surprise and Chicago fairly
capped the climax by winning from
Michigan.
The weakness of Princeton has oc-
casioned no end of comment among
eastern football men.
Then general opinion seems to be
that the Tigers were poorly trained
and that, man for man, they were the
equals physically and in football knowl-
edge, of their Yale visitors.
Western football men are enthusi-
astic over the marvellous exhibition OF
drop-kicking given by Quarterback
EckersaIl of Chicago in the game with
Illinois. In that game Eckersall kick
ed five field goals and just missed a
sixth by a few inches. In addition to
this he made one touchdown and kick
ed four goals from touchdown. Thus
out of Chicago's A points against I'LL
nois Eckersau alone was responsible
for just %, leaving his ten teammates
the credit of scoring just Is.
