WANT A FRONT RANK
George Washington Athletes
Are Ambitious.
WORKING EVERY DAY
SCENES OF ACTIVITY ON UNI
VERSITY FIELD.
Candidates for the Base Ball, Field
and Track-Teams Busy
Every Afternoon.

George Washington University is am
bilious to take place among the great
colleges of the country in athletics. The
coaches are doing all in their power to aid
the formation of the track and base ball
teams and the students are coming forward
every day and announcing their desire to
enter the competition for places upon the
teams. This spirit can have only one effect
and that the general advancement of ath-
letics in the college. Every afternoon the
candidates for the base ball and track
teams can be seen at University Field (old
Van Ness Park at the corner of 18th and
c streets northwest at practice under the
supervision of the coaches. Coach White
of the base ball team is at the park every
afternoon working to bring the boys around
to form. He is one of the best pitchers
of the Chicago team and his knowledge of
the game is thorough. Manager Sutton also
watches over the boys and works as hard
as the coach to develop the material which
they have at hand. Holland the pitcher
has plenty of speed, bat last year he lack
ed control of the ball. This year he has
shown up better and is regarded by the
coach as one of George Washington's star
men. E. A. Thomas showed up well during
the preliminary practice. He is another
good pitcher and the coach thinks he will
develop as the practice days continue. In
the game with the Sixth Presbyterian

team.
The University Team.
Moffet Bradley will be the catcher for the
collegians this year, and they are lucky
to have a man of his ability behind the
bat. He has played on the teams of the
Eastern High School of this city and also
with the victorious Fourth Presbyterian
team of last season. His throwing arm is
not in as good condition as it might be- but
Coach White hopes that 1t will improve
shortly with the continued practice on uni
versity field. Bradley is about the strong
est batter on the team and when the score
is close near the end of a hard-fought
game he is handy man to call in with
his stick At first base, Weber, who form

University. will probably be found. He has
played the position before and will hardly
have any trouble holding down the initial
bag for the George Washington boys this
season. Van Vliet at second base Is one

The Tenleytown Stars defeated the Little
Rocks in smuggling match yesterday, score
10 to 10. The feature of the game was the
good battery work of the Tenleytown play
ers. The Little Rocks were outclassed at
all points of the game and were easily de-
feated. although they put their best pitcher,
Dick, in the box. The catching of Stewart
was worthy of mention.
The Glenwood base ball team has organ

Four-Eye League.

The LIE Droits and the Greenwich Athletic
Club will open the season of the Four-Eye
League Monday. Four of the best teams
in Northwest Washington have organized
a league for the purpose of stimulating the
sport in that part of the city. The large
teams represents nearly all the best base
teams represent nearly all the best base
ball talent in Bloomingdale, lexington and
lie Droit Park between the ages of twelve
and fifteen years. The players include
Stewart and Turner of the Bloomingdale
Athletic Club; Walker Falkner and Strek
of the LIE Droits; Mawhinney of the Clip
pers and Smith, Grady and the Miller
brothers of the Greenwich Athletic Club.
Carr will umpire most of the games and

in the race for the pennant of this league.
Good things are predicted of the Aloysus
and Aquinas clubs They will use the
White House ellipse, and those who attend
these games will see good article of anna
teur ball played by these teams.
In the Departmental League a great
amount of activity has been shown. The
chief clerks of the departments have been
mainly interested in the formation of this
league, and, as already announced in The
Star, nine clubs have been allowed to enter
into the competition for the championship.
The Sunday school teams are getting into
good shape. Several of them have already
played several games. Fourth Presbyterian
will again be the favorite for the pennant in
this league, about the same players will
be members of this years team as COM
posed the championship team of 1904. The
Fourth has some of the hardest hitters
among the amateurs of the city. Bielaski,
who played third last year, is one of the
best players in the city and one of the
hardest hitters that ever stepped upon
local diamond. Then there is King, the
star first baseman of last year. He is
good player and uses his head during the
entire game, besides being a number one
coach of younger players. He works I'M
ceasingly for his team, and when slight
misplay is made by a member of the Fourth
Presbyterians King seems to take it as hard
as if he had done it himself
Sammie Seay, who pitched for Gunton
Temple, and Hutchinson were the star
pitchers of this league. Seay is now at col
lege in West Virginia. but will probably APP
pear in some of the games as pitcher for
Gunton Temple. Hutchinson will also be
found in his same old place. He will also
play with George Washington University,
and the college boys believe that he is their
star pitcher. Donaldson of the Fourth
PreSbyterianS and Cunningham another
pitcher of this aggregation, will be back in
the game. The Wahler boys, Coll of Mount
Pleasant Methodist team and Red of the
Fourth Presbyterian will also be seen.
Some of the players of the different anna
teur leagues of the city work in the print
ing Office and will doubtless play upon the
teams which have been organized in the
printing office league.

Foot Ball Prospects.

1t is promised by those in charge of the
foot ball arrangements that George Wash

year by one of the best foot ball teams
that has ever battled for the colors of the

II the Jack Taylor scandal did nothing
else it certainly awoke the club owners of
both leagues TO the fact that gambling at
base ball games must be stopped. President
Taylor of the Boston champions has sent
out the edict that gambling Of no sort will
be allowed inside his park, and this means
a most drastic move, as the bleacher seats
in the city of culture resembled somewhat
the betting ring at the race track. Several
men would walk up and down the aisles

Burglar Arrested at Westmore.
Frank Pronchie, the thief who bur-
gIarlzed the station, post-office and
general store of S. P. Pinney at Pas
sumpsic the evening of May %, was
arrested Tuesday at Westmore by
Deputy Sheriff Stannard, who was on
the lookout at the instance of Deputy
Sheriff Worthen. 1t will be remem-
bered that the burglar broke into the
station, secured seven mileages, went
from there to the store of Mr.. Pinney
in which is located the post Office,
took a number of stamp books and
some So in money. Pronchie's par
ents live in Irasburg. He is shout q
years old and is deserter from the
United States navy. He was located
at Newport, r. l., and escaped from
there about three months ago. A re.
ward of $50 was out for his capture
for the offence and government
reward of 800 for breaking into the
postofice. He acknowledged his
crime and confessed TO hiding the
seven mileages on the North Danvillt
| road. Deputy Sheriff Worthen drov,
him to the place and the mileage
were all recovered. Search OF hi
person revealed five stamp books
probably the exact number take
from the postofice.

If there was ever an object that
truly deserved the pity of gods and
men, it is human being created in
the image of God, with its body
squeezed into actual deformity by the
relentless grasp of cruel corset and
it's feet jammed into a pair of shoes
three sizes too small. Such talk as
this may not be expected of a paper
of the nature of the Yellow Jacket,
but we recently beheld such a con-
spicuous example of this worse than
idolatrous usage that we had to say
it or bust.

Probably the ladies of the Village
Improvement society of Barton Land
ing little supposed their street clean
ing process would arouse so much
comment throughout the state and
even by some city papers. Last Mon
day morning we received at this office
the follow ng telegram from a Bost n
paper: editor Barton paper, Can
you get photos ard story of women
street cleaners? Get early and send
BILL" Signed --. Knowing the
paper sending the message was
''yellow" journal and wished only to
make a sensational story of the mat
ter we have been after no photo
graphs. Following are some of the
press remarks by state papers:
A large number of women at Bar
ton Landing got out and su perintend-
ed the cleaning of the village the other
day. According to the vote of the
Woman's Improvement Society they
could enlist the services OF as many
boys and men as they desired. After
the village had taken on Bon Ami
appearance they all gathered in a grove
and the ladies served ice cream to
those who had taken part in the ref
ormation. Was it hope of reward or
fear of punishment that kept the
rakes in Acknowledgements Journal.
The question in the above editorial
is best answered by the following edi-
torial from the st. Aloans Messenger,
who understands what public spirit is:
''The women of Barton Landing
have begun to clean up the streets of
thatvillage and the community gen.
orally is preparing to blossom like a
garden. We need something like the
old Village Improvement Society pub
lie spirit and enthusiasm right here in
st. Adams, too. Nothing would do
the men of this city more good than
to have a band of courageous and
Jealous women put them to shame
for a season by taking that active in
terest in the cause of public improve
ment that too many of the men now
neglect. II the women of st. Adams
make up their minds to it, we shall
have first class streets, sidewalks,
sewers, band, and other things of
that kind"
The sight of those Barton Landing
women cleaning the streets of their
village must have caused blush to
spread over the faces of their dilatory
other halves,-Barre Times.

Conditions in the East.

Russia's overwhelming naval defeat
has not thus far brought definite
promise of peace, though the first
step may CONS any day. 1t all rests

Indication of yielding. 1t is reported,
though, that several of the grand
dukes and Admiral Alexief, who have
been of the war party, are now for
peace and may persuade the emperor
to their views. President Roosevelt is
taking leading part in the attempt
to effect the end of the war. He has
had conferences with the japanese
minister, who has told him that Toxic

ment the car SO expresses himself
and late reports from Washington
| state that Russia has asked Japan,s
peace terms, and if not too onerous
they will likely be accepted. The
victor, Togo, called on the wounded
Rojestvensky, and complimented him
on his brave fight. Ii is announced
that the prisoners captured by Japan
in this battle will be returned TO Rus
STA. Japan will commemorate her
great victory By erecting a magnifi
cent lighthouse near the scene.

hours and certainly all freight and
passenger traffic to New York from
the vicinity of Quebec and Sherbrooke
and the country through which the
road would pass would seek transpor-
tation over the shortest route. More
than this, New York markets would
be used more by people of this vicin-
ity and thus more traffic would be
made. Again there are without doubt
undeveloped industries that would be
brought forth all along the line. A
study of a railroad map will show
that the connecting link of an almost
straight road from Quebec to New
York would be from Newport to
Montpelier and Rutland. Snap a
chalk line from New York to Quebec
and you will find that the line goes
almost directly through Newport and
Rutland and that road follows that
line almost direct from New York to
Rutland and again from Newport to
Quebec. And 80 it seems that the
road spoken of by the Free Press
might be paying one as well as an
agency whereby Vermont would be
enabled to take another step forward
in development.

OF INTEREST TO ORLEANS COUNTY

The Montpelier Argus in discussing
the report that the New York Central
Railroad company is to make extern
sive improvements on the Rutland
railroad expresses the opinion that if
the management of the New York
Central could be made to understand
the advantage of cross state line
from Rutland to Montpelier, it might
assist in building it and benefit both
itself and the state; adding that line
from Rutland to Montpelier means
one from Montpelier to Newport.
The construction of a railroad from
Rutland to Montpelier would be Of
material benefit TO Vermont, and par
ticularly to the section through which
il would pass. That
a railroad from Rutland to Montpe
lier with a possible extension TO New
port would secure considerable bust
ness, does not admit of a doubt.
While the line would be direct for New
York traffic, it is not probable that
the passenger business would be a
strong inducement for the construc-
ton of the road, and the question
would be whether the New YORK Cen
trial could secure a sufficient increase
in the granite business which already
goes over its lines to a certain degree
TO warrant the building of the feeder
in question. A road from Rutland TO
Newport would practically parallel
thre lines, the Rutland, the Central
Vermont and the Boston & Names
Connecticut River division, and if the
New York Central interests are likely
TO take over the Boston & Maine in
the not distant future, as is under
stood TO be the case, this considera-
ton might also be an important fac
TOR in the problem.
Under the circumstances the chances
are that towns along the line of the
proposed road, ard particularly Rut-
land and Montpelier, would have to
offer strong inducements in the way OF
contributions to aid in its construc-
ton. and the way to bring the matter
10 q head is to present proposition
to the management OF the railway
Burlington Free Press.
While we are not sufficiently posteC
on railroad matters TO discuss thi
proposition intelligently, yet from GU
point of view it would seem that
road from Newport to Rutland woul'
receive large amount of traffic from
this end. We understand that such
road would shorten the distance be
tween Quebec and New York severa

LETTER TO O. d. ROWELL,


Dear Sir: Have you found out you can
paint job with fewer gallons Devoe than of
anything else, leadand oil or anything else?
Mr.. Floyd Amy, House and Sign Painter,
Greenwich, N. Y, found it out three years
ago; he writes: 81 have used Devoe lead and
zinc for the past three years, and cannot say
too much in its favor. am using it now on a
big job that I took by contract, and it has
saved me at least S25 IN the cost Of material -
Devoe is the strongest paint we ow- of;
goes furthest; takes less of it to do your job,
Lead and oil is pure; lead and zinc is
stronger; covers more; goes further.
Have you founi-out you can paint gallon
Devoe in less time than gallon of Anything
else? That means less time for the job. LSss
time; less money.
Less paint: less money for that; less time
less money for that. Devoe lasts longer; do
you mind the less money for that? You are
surer of it,
Yours truly,
10 F. W. DEvoE & Co.
Twombly & Cotton, Barton Landing; F. 81
