Incidentally, if there is need for ad.
ditional athletic instructors to help
with the greatly increased number of
midshipmen, why could not first
class boxer and someone equally as
well versed in wrestling be brought
to Annapolis. Most of the holds OF
jiu jitsu are we'll known to the
wrestler at any rate and the others are
those which are considered brutal and
are barred. The good American wrest-
lers have already held their own
against the exponents of the Oriental
art. and their system is much more
adapted to our needs in every way.
Tom jenkins, the American champion
wrestler. has been at West Point for
some time and his worb with the
cadets there has been very satisfactory.
Such a man as Fred Gotch or Fred
Beel would do equally as good work
here. and there is no better game than
wrestling.

In connection with Georgetown it
may be said that although it is very
much hoped here that the race be-
tween that crew and the Navy viii be
rowed, it is not at all certain The
race was scheduled for April 2l, oTigi-
nally, but there was mix-up in dates
and the race with the University of
Pennylvania was set for April 2S
The midshipmen do not want to row
with only a weeks interval and as
there were already two races ia May,
Georgetown has been asked to come TO
Annapolis with its two crews on
April IA AS Georgetown reluctantly
consented to come to Annapolis as

The early practice also gave an op-
portunity TO get line on the baseball
candidates both at the Naval Acad-

week more extended remarks will be
made along this line, but it may be
noted here that the Navy's new coach,
DIR. G. Harris White. has been with
his team during the week. There is
every indication that a good selection
has been made when Dr. Whites SER

by his work with the Chicago Ameri.
can League team last year, DR.. White
is graduate of Georgetown and his
experience as a college man is likely
to make him more efficient in his work
with college team. Also, he is an
extremely pleasant gentleman and will
undoubtedly get the right hold on his
charges from the beginning. He has
arranged to stay in Annapolis until
May 10. eleven days before the West

The truth about jiu jitsu is that
while it contains many holds which
might be useful on occasions it is in
no way adapted to the use of Ameri-
cans. or as to that, of any nations
whose views are along the same lines.
The things that are accomplished by
its exponents are largely on account
of their wonderful athletic ability and
are not inherent in the system. The
talk of a boy or woman mastering a
strong man or one man overcoming
two or more by it's use of protecting
himself against an opponent with a
revolver is arrant nonsense. The Japs
accomplish what they do with it be-
cause it's exponents devote their whole
life to its practice and particularly to
keeping in physical condition that
makes these accomplishments possible
OnI American youths can accomplish
much more by reasonable amount of
practice in the use of the good sraight
from the shoulder punch than they
can insthe bonebreaking, cartilage tear

Advantage has been taken of the
fine weather this winter by the athletes
both of the Naval Academy and st
Johns College to get their candidates
for their teams out in the open much
earlier than usual. At the Academy
the crews have been on the water and
at both institutions the baseball men
have done considerable preliminary
work. Coach Richard Glendon, Of
the Navy boat crew, has been with
his squad since early in January and
has had them on the water about
half dozen times, the rest of the work
being done on the machines in the
gymnasium. Coach Glendon's work
with the Navy crews for the two sea-
sons past has been one of the great
triumphs in collegiate boat racing. In
1904 he took hold of a crew that had
lost every race the season before and
succeeded in just splitting even in the
races rowed. Last year, under his
tutelage, the Academy forced itself to
the position of one of the leading
rowing colleges of the country by win.
ming four races straight-from George
town, University of Pennsylvania.
Yale and Columbia.
If Mr. Glendon can turn out a win
nlng crew this season he will do some
thing little short of marvellous, yet he
is leaving nothing undone and the can
didates for the crew are backing him
up with the we'll known Navy spirit
OF last years victorious crew there
are only two Ieft--Oaptain Brady and
Dreutzer. while there will probably
be two men at least in the first boat
who have never rowed before this sea-
son. However, good stroke is at
hand in the person of Ingram. who
pulled No s in the second boat last
season and the crew will probably be
somewhat heavier than before, Pritch-
ard and Montgomery being two men
who will put weight and strength in
the body of the boat. Other midship-
men who are doing good work are
Mckee, Rockwell, JOHNSON, Elliott,
Laurence. Bogg, Hodgman. Farrell,
Robinson. Gary, Crosley, Will, North
croft. Wilhelm, Richardson and Ste.

Salt0n Sea Threatens Agail.

The steadily rising waters of the Salton sea are again threatening the line of the Southc Tn Pacific. When the shoofly tracks were con- structed during last summer and fall, it was believed that they were sufficiently far away to be perfectly safe from any rise that the sea was likely to make, but now the waters are again said to be danger ously close to the new roadbed. Construction work is going on in the vicinity of the sea, the railroad company taking no chances on having it's service again interrupt ed.

 A report comes to Kingman that an immensely rich discovery of placer ground has been made in the Cedar basin country, to the north of Rioville. The gravel is said to be quite extensive and the gold very coarse. Many people are rushing in there, and it is prob able that many will make fortunes. The Cedar basin is on the east side of the virgin range, north of the Colorado river. Last year some very good veins were discovered and worked. The ore was found to be gold-bearing, the values lying in oxidized iron. -Kingman Miner.

Loco Weed on Forest Reserve.

In his correspondence with the agricultural department about the ravages of the loco weed, and it's spreading over the ranges, Dr. Day called attention to the fact that the weed is in evidence on the forest reserve, and that as the govern ment is getting pay from cattlemen for grazing privileges, it might be a very good idea to have the forest rangers aid in exterminating the weed. The suggestion seems worthy of consideration. Journal Miner.

Ketchikan, Sep. 6-The gasoline launch Walrus, one of the local hoats doing 8 general passenger and freight business out of Ketchikan, caught fire this morning five miles out of this place on the return trip from the Belle Island hot springs.

Gurney, the owner and operator of the Walrus, was slight ly burned in trying to save his passen- gers. The fire was started from the lantern in the engine room, which eX- dloded. AS soon ss the passengers who were rescued could be taken to the shore, about 75 yards distant. Captain Gurney returned to his boat, towed it to the beach and scuttled it to prevent the large tank of gasoline from explod- ing. When the bodies of the two children were gotten out they were badly charred and partly burned away. The authorities were notified and a coronerS jury at once empaneled ant taken to the spot where they viewed the remains and then returned to Ketchi- kan to deliberate. They returned a verdict of accidental death and eXoner- ated Captain Gurney from all blame in the premises. The Walrus Is a total loss and DO insurance.
