HELPS THE WEAK
System Under Which Three. Eye
Mileage is Pooled as Re.
Gently Adopted.
PAY ACCORDING TO RECEIPTS
Others Expected to Take Up Same
Planetary Berte Dropped by
BeIden Hill.

At their meeting in Chicago last
week the managers of the Three-Eye
league took the initiative in a new de-
parture in baseball, one that viii at
once be adopted by some of the other
minor leagues and when that is done
il removes at once and forever the
chief cause for wrangling over the
mileage question and thus there is lit
tie opportunity for dispute over sched-
ules.
The statement has been made that
the mileage of the league was to be
pooled. but that gives an erroneous
idea of the plan adopted. When the
statement is made that the mileage is
pooled the very thing that is desired
may be frustrated and the weaker club
may be compelled to assist in paying
the mileage of the stronger club or the
one that has the best attendance. Thus
if all of the mileage bills were pooled
and each club paid an equal portion the
wrong complained of would not be
righted.
Lowest Gets Nothing.
The plan is this. Each club is given
% cents per mile for every mile tray
eled in excess of the total travelled by
the most favored club. If one club
travels 1000 miles and that is the small
lest travel in the league that club gets
nothing. The next smallest travel is
1850 and that club gets % cents TO;
each of the 80 miles travelled il excess
of the minimum amount.
In the first place each club is assess
ed for thesleague treasury 10 per cent
of its gate money. Thus the club with
the heavy attendance will pay into the
treasury more than the club with the
light attendance. 1t is from that treas
ury fund that the rebate on the mileage
is paid.
For every mile Travelled in excess OF
the minimum each club will receive %
cents. The club travelling the mini
mum gets nothing.
Hill Drops Herte.
Manager Corners of Bloomington has
received a letter from Harry Berte. the
veteran shortstop for five years with
Cedar Rapids. asking for a position.
Belden Hill has finally dropped Berte.
There will be general wonderment over
this action as Berte was thought to be
a fixture He was equal to the best of
them in fielding his position and in
coaching. but he could not bat good
enough and this is a fatal defect Man
ager Corners has no place for him but
he may be picked up by some other

SHOW IN THE DOUBLES.

Will Earlham have a winning track
team this year? This is the question
that is bothering the minds of the
Quaker supporters at the present time.
With an abundance of green material
which as a whole is only mediocre, it
will be q very hard task for Coach
Wilson to develop any sort of VIM
ing team.
Never before in her history has
Earlham had such poor prospects of
winning good position in the state
meet but it is hoped that the men can
be rounded into shape before the meet
which is only month off.
Next Saturday the track squad will
be divided in half and the two sections
will have a dual meet on Reid field
This is done so that some definite
line may be drawn on the material at
hand, in view of picking the best men
for the state meet. These men that
show up best in this preliminary meet
will heceive the whole attention of the
coach till the time of the meet.
Reports from other colleges in the

meet here say, that all have the

sit hangs on Fate, who writes with her
ringer. Come: let us ride"
SO, followed by their escort, they
rode In the gardens, taking note, with
out seeming TO do so, Of the position OF
the tall rock and OF how it could be
approached from every side. Then they
went In again and waited for some sign
or word of Rosamund, but in vain.
That night there was no feast, and
their meal was brought to them in the
guest house. While they sat at it Ma
SCUBA appeared for a moment to tell
them that they had leave to ride the
bridge in the moonlight and that their
escort would await them at a certain
hour
The brethren asked if their sister Ros-
amund was not coming to dine with
them. Masouda answered that as the
queen elect of the Al-je-bal it was not
lawful that she should eat with any
other men, even her brothers. Then as
she passed out, stumbling as though by
accident, she brushed against Goodwin
and muttered:
Remember, tonight" and was gone.
When the moon had been up an hour
the officer of their escort appeared and
led them to their horses. AS they ap-
preached the bridge they saw Lozelle
departing on his great black stallion,
which was in a lather Of foam. IT
seemed that he also had made trial of
that perilous path.
Now, Goodwin, leading on Flame, they
faced the bridge and walked their
horses over 1t. Nor did these hang
back, although they snorted little al

they returned at trot, then over again
and yet again at a canter and a gallop

In the middle of the bridge and gallop,
ed down upon him at speed till within
lance's length. Then suddenly he
checked his horse and, while his audi
ence shouted, wheeled it around on Its
hind legs, its fore hoofs beating the air
and gallopod back again, followed by
Goodwin.
"All went WELL" Wulf said as they
rode to the castle, "and nobler or more
gentle horses were never crossed by
men. 1 have good hopes for tomorrow
night. 1 shall do my best, and if
fall, why, then, act upon your owl

you left their sister. Translate to the
knights, woman"
So Masouda translated. Then God
win answered through her.
1--WE understand little Of this matter,
who are ignorant of your tongue; but,
o Al-je-bal, ere we leave your shelter
ing roof we have q quarrel to settle
with the man Lozelle. After that, with
your permission, we will go, but not
before"
Sinan answered.:
As you will; SO be it."
The spokesman of the ENJOYS said:
"Ai-je-bal, we depart, but within a
week we appear again in the company
ofx10Q0o spears, and on one Of them
shall your head be set. Your safe con-
duct guards US till the sunset. After
that do your worst, as we do ours.
High princess, our counsel to you is
that you Stay yourself and so gain inn
mortal honor"
Then, bowling 10 her one by one, they
turned and marched down the terrace,
followed by their servants.
Now Sinan waved his hand, and the
court broke up, Rosamund leaving ii
first, accompanied by Masouda and es-
corted by guards, after which the
brethren were commanded to depart
also.

to object to everything the cabinet at
Ottawa does.
For some months a Hydro-Electric
commission, appointed by the Ontario
government, has been studying the
question of Niagara power, and on
April II it submitted a report to the
legislature in which it proposed a
plan for the distribution of energy
through the southern and western
parts of the province, with transform
ing stations at Hamilton, Toronto,
Guelph, London, and Windsor. 1t is es-
timated that market for fifty thou
sand horsepower could be found as
soon as the lines could be strung, and
for hundred thousand within five
years thereafter At Toronto alone
there would be a saving of 1854, 900
year on the present cost of power.
This system would be constructed as a
public enterprise.
On the same day upon which this
report was presented a delegation of
over thousand citizens of Western
Ontario, representing nearly all the
municipalities of the Province within
$50 miles of the Falls, called upon the
Provincial Premier to urge him to con-
suit the interests of the people of On
tario in the matter of cheap Niagara
power. Premier Whitney gave the
deputation warm welcome, expressed
the fullest sympathy with their de-
sires, and said:

THE FIGHT FOR NIAGARA.

The campaign for the preservation
of Niagara runs against a remarkable
complication of interests. In
Ontario says Golfers there
are not only the usual financial
considerations to take into account,
but there are international and pro-
vincial jealousies and the spirit of an
tagonism between corporations and
the public. In concluding any agree
ment between the United States and
Great Britain it is first necessary to
act in constant accord with the govern
ment of the Dominion of Canada.
When the Dominion government is sat
isfied, it is then necessary to satisfy
the government of the Province of
Ontario, which is run by a hostile po-
litical party, and naturally disposed
