Strong Movement Toward
+ the Erection of Hotels.

-HE keynote of the week In
the San Francisco realty

apartment houses are needed to
accommodate the influx of peo-
pie, either returned refugees or
strangers who have come to see
the ruins of the metropolis of
the Pacific. With the awaken
ing the speedy erection of such
structures may be expected.

said a member of the sophomore class in
the Jersey college who played on the foot
ball scrub last fall and is member of the
varsity wrestling team, there has been
gossip to the effect that Princeton would
soon become a candidate for crew honors.
With the opening of the lake this week the
talk has received a new impetus. While
1 cannot speak with authority, l can say
that it is the prevailing sentiment among
the undergraduates that it will be a very
long while before Princeton repeats her at

tercollegiate rowing.
In those early days the crew practiced
on the Delaware and Raritan canal, which
passes within mile of the campus. The
new lake would be better training
ground. but it is likely that it will be used
only for swimming and boating and espe-
cially for practice by the hockey team,
which has hitherto been greatly hampered
by having to work partly indoors and to
go some distance to get any outdoor work

the auspices Of the Y. NJ. c. A. next Tues

taken up amateur wrestling and will 60

next Tuesday a success. When good men
are found tonight or in preliminaries for
future tournaments who do not fit into the
prescribed classes they will be given a
crack at a medal in a special event The
principal rivalry tonight will be between
the Y NJ c. A. and Carroll Institute. each

of a wheel from Crogee Butler and he was

months in jail.
Butler left his wheel in front of his home,

ing in the house short time he found that
the wheel was gone. He saw Gray riding
on it up 14th street November %, and while
trying to convince Gray that the wheel was
his, Butler called Policeman Duvall. At
sight of the latter Gray started on the run
in the opposite direction. He went through
apartment houses. over back fences, down
alleys, up the middle of streets from 14th
and l. streets to 18th street and New York
avenue. Policeman Duvall was hot in pur-
suit and captured him at the latter point.

couple of good pitchers would not come
amiss. so instead of drafting and purchas-
ing half dozen men to the club, officials
opened up their pOcketbookS and went after
only two men, paying in the neighborhood
of S1O6GO for Berger. the best pitcher in the
American Association. and Liebhardt con-
sidered the premier pitcher Of the Southern
League. Then for good measure Thielman

drafted 1t is the first two. however, upon

that he is a desirable player, and Hinch-
man of Columbus, man that made more
