Sousa Coming Soon.

Sousa, the delight of Nations" will
be here April 10. So much has been told
and written about Sousa which is not
true that we give little OF his interest
ing history.
John Philip Sousa is thorough Ameri.
can. He did not come to this country
from Portugal, he did not arrive on these
shores. and be did not add U. S. A., to
his name 49," and make it "Sousa. !"
He was born in the part of Washington,
D. c., known as "Pipetown" and re.
ceived thorough education along mu.
sical lines in Washington. When OFF H.
bach came to this country for the pur-
pose OF conducting series of orchestral
concerts young Sousa was one of his
violiuists. His talents soon brought
him a position as conductorsofa comic
opera company's orchestra, and later
carried him to the leadership of the ma
tional capitals famous musical organ
ization. The Marine Band. To this po
sition he brought so much magnetism,
personality and hard work, that the
Marine Band soon stood without
rival. In September, 1892, the now
noted Sousa band was organized,
achieving measure of success that is
being added to and widened with each
successive year. Sousa has the courage
to play for the popular taste any music
that is good, whether it be of the old
classic masters or not. "All good music
is classical" he claims, land why not
give the people what they can really
enioy?"
No European bandmaster has so conde-
scended to cater to the taste of every
one, and Sousa stepped into place in
which his feet year by year have been
more firmly set.
He took the band to the Paris Expo
sition in 1900, to Buffalo in 1901 and to
Glasgow's exhibition in the fall of the
same year.
Remember the advance sale of seats for
the concert opens at 80 a. M, Monday,
April 16, at Bingham's and Gordon's
drug stores.

Oriental Visitors.

Our town was visited yesterday by
two Cinnamon, He Hing of New York,
and his fellow countryman, Ng Dee. The
latter did not come here OF his own ac-
cord, but was brought here from the
Newport Jail by Sheriff Miles of Newport,
and Deputy Sheriff Miller of West6eId.
The Celestial with the unpronouncable
name was one Of two Cinnamon captur-
ed while crossing the line from Rock Is
land to Newport about two weeks ago.
He and companion were trying to
evade our exclusion act and were being
transported in separate teams. The
officers captured both the Celestials, but
the driver of one of the teams escaped
into the woods. Sheriff Miles received
word from He Hing, New York bonds
man who has frequently helped his
countrymen in this extremity, that he
was ready to furnish bail and the parties
met here yesterday afternoon and ar
ranged with Harry Blodgett for the
necessary papers. He Hing deposited
$500 in crisp bills at the Merchants
bank and Ng Dee is out on bail until
his trial July II, though 1t is doubtful II
he ever shows up in Vermont again.
After the transaction was over they
went to the Chinese laundry to talk it
all over with the only representative of
the race in St. Johnsbury.
Ng Dee belongs to band of "a
Cinnamon who recently arrived in Mon.
treal from Vancouver and at least three
of them have eluded the officers on thr
border and gone down the line. Another
is languishing in the Newport Jail and
the Others are believed to be in hiding in
Canada. 1t is about 18 months since
any Cinnamon have attempted to cross
the border at Newport and their chances
OF success are rather slim owing to the
watchfulness oil the officers of both the
Canadian and United States govern
ments.

lNFlELDER WILLIAMS
MAY JOIN NATIONAL S

ALTOONA. Pa. March 21.-Otto Will
liams. the New Orleans infelder, drafted
by the Philadelphia Athletics and turned
back without trial because he says he re-
fused to sign a contract calling for less
money than he had received in the minors,
has signed to- play with Altoona. His re-
lauons with the Athletics are now being
investigated by the national commission.
Manager Jake Stahl of Washington is
casting about for a player to fill the shoes
of Joe Cassidy. who is incapacltated as a
result of typhoid fever, chose Williams. and
purchased his release from New Orleans.
Otto has been notified OF the deal and re-
where Washington is training. but he re-
fused.
Williams on Sunday sent his signed con-
tract to Manager Irwin of Altoona and will
refuse to go on record as contract jump
er Being duly signed, Irwin intimates
that should Williams be coerced into play
ing with Washington lie will prevent his
doing so by process Of law, using as a
precedent the court decisions in the Lajoie
case. At any rate the Altoona club will
not be deprived of Williams services with
out legal struggle.
The Washington club has made no def
mite offer TO Williams as yet. He was rec
commended TO Manager Stahl by Connie
Mack and may yet be National. Irwin
is probably trying to head off negotiations.
Williams played 1875 games with New Or
leans last season and batted .2T3. At sec
ond he had an average of .942 only nine
points under the leader of the league.

WISCONSIN VARSITY
IN ATHLETIC CHAOS

MADISON. Wis March 21.-Athletic af-
fails at the University of Wisconsin are in
a state of complete chaos. and the condi-
ton Is held to be direct result OF hasty
action against foot ball. Wisconsin in the
west, like Columbia in the east was the
first college to take the plunge and abolish
foot ball. Action along this line was taken
before II was known at all what the other
colleges would do. Then Wisconsin was
forced to wait for the others, and In the
meantime so great was the uncertainty as
to the future Of the sport at Wisconsin that
a state amounting to panic was engen-
dered. AS result. athletes are deserving IN
numbers and all team trainers have placed
their designations in the hands of the au-
thorittes To crown all, George Downer,
graduate athletic manager of the university,
has given up his Job. and the affairs are
without competent man at the head.
The utter desolation of spirit into which
the announcement of the ban on foot ball
threw the Wisconsin men cannot well. be
imagined here. where conditions are nothing
like. Foot ball Is the matnstay Of all sport
at Wisconsin. All the funds which support
track athletics. base ball. crew. swimming
and basket ball come from the foot ball bal
ance. Therefore anything affecting foot
ball indirectly causes the death OF all other
sports at Wisconsin. If foot ball Is killed
for good another year at the most is all tina
the other teams have to live. Their engage
ments being already made. they cannot drop
out this season. But the faculty cannot. of
curse, permit the existence of bankrupt
teamsA and this Is what the others would be
If deprived of the assistance lent each year
b.; foot ball.
With affairs In this way, and few of the
students eager to come out this year for
athletic teams even If 1t We're the last
chance. 1t is not so hard to see why the res
ignation of several of the coaches threw
things into absolute confusion. Alvin
Kraenzlein the former University of Penn
syivania hurdler. quit the track team, and
no coach has since been appointed. Bernis
Pierce. the Indian base bali and foot ball
player who was to have coached the base
ball team. has reported for practice with
the Minneapolis team of the American Assoc
citation. and he will not take care of the
university students. Only about half dozen
are out for base ball anyhow There Is q
provisional schedule. but there is likely to
be no team.

MASS PLAYS SAID
TO BE IMPOSSIBLE

In persistent advocacy of the placing OF
seven men in the forward line as the es-
pecial desideratum of foot ball legislation
the Princeton Alumni Weekly publishes
statement questioning the opinion Of tho
national intercollegiate rules committee
that mass plays would be impossible under
the altered code. 1t cites documentary
evidence" to disproye the claim that it will
be impossible with mass plays TO gain an
average of three and one-third yards per
down as required by the new rules, showing
that in specific instances in former cham
pionship contests larger averages were
made when touchdowns were scored.
The argument advanced Is specious Tor
two reasons-that IL would be easy to select
any series of plays that would average over
three yards, If one long run interviewed,
and that the instances cited usually pre-
ceded touchdowns. which most often follow
such successful plays, and, second, that an
average of three and one-third yards is not
alone required, but a consistent average or
that amount Reference to the records In
the particular instances cited will prob
ably reveal the fact that even in them fire.
Quently the question of which team pos
sessed the ball was matter of inches
with only fve-yard requirement
The principal objection to the line OF ar
gument used however. lies in the fact that
1t is not the teu-yard rule which the legis-
lators hope will eliminate mass plays, ana
such theory was never advanced by them,
but the rule which requires any man WITH
drawn from the forward line to retire fVe
yards behind the line.
The whole theory and success OF mass
plays has been to strike a given concealed
point In the line quickly and Unexpectedly
with a massed weight before the opposing
players could brace to meet 1t. 1t IS neces-
/. sary for the mass to start not more than
two yards behind the line TO do this, and
the five-yard withdrawal makes successive
mass plays impossible. whether the de-
tense is weakened or not, in the opinion or
most capable experts.
Furthermore. the separation of the two
lines by nine-inch neutral zone Will make
such plays more difficult. to say nothing OF
the restriction of holding, since the oppos-
ing forwards could not be gotten out of the
way quickly enough. even though support
could not reach them In time to stop the

BOWLING CONGRESS
FAVORS QUAKER CITY

LOUISVILLE, March 21.-The American
bowling congress went into session yester-
Gay afternoon after the report of the execu-
tive committee was read and adopted. The
election of officers was next I'm order, and
resulted In one of the stormiest meetings
ever held by the congress. The opposition,
realizing that defeat was starring them in
the face, adopted every method known to
them TO swing enough votes to stem the
tide. They were met at every point, until
finally the only chance left to them was ad-
5ournment. this resulting In a polling OF
the delegates, when Philadelphia again won
out only to be unfortunate enough to have
Chicago change its vote on account of being
scheduled to roll
This change carried the motion to adjourn
10 meet today. They are making every eff
fort to make trades, but so far PHILADELPHIA
seems to be leading by good margin. and,
unless some deal can be fixed up that city
Is very likely to win out. The hardest fight
was made by the far west to separate the
selection of a president from the same city
in which the tournament will be held. In
this they were defeated by large major
ity.
Secretary Karpf, in his report. recon-
mended that the duck PIN and the can

He recommended also that the congress be
more careful about accepting entries for the
