This was from dollar and seventy
five cents to three dollars and twenty
five cents more than the minimum
price fixed by the act OF Congress.
The timber that has been cut from
any of these sold lands has gone into
the construction of homes and other
improvements for the benefit of the
people of this Territory. The poor
lands were sold with the good and
many acres sold for more than they
were worth. What are these lands
to be owned by the Territory for il
not to pass into the hands of the peo-
pie, for their benefit and for the
benefit of the educational and other
public institutions Of the Territory?
Why should the Territory play the
part of the dog in the manger, by
holding these lands, getting no bene-
fit from them and allowing no one else
to get any benefit from them?'

EXHIBITION GAMES
ARE Legitimate

Ball players have been somewhat worried
storming trips. after the regular season
closes are to be absolutely prohibited in the
future. Many players pick up a little extra
coin during the late autumn by playing the
night-stand circuits, and the money is
in the nature of a windfall to them, coming
after the regular salary day is a thing of
the past and the long winter, payless and
dreary is looming into view. They needn't
grow too anxious, however, for legitimate
transforming trips have not been prohibited
and probably will not be. \ portion of ar
ticle Z of the national agreement reads as
follows: such players (meaning players
under reserve or contract to any club are
and shall be ineligible to contract with any
other club of any league during the period
of time between the termination of their
contracts and the beginning of the next sea-
SON. 1t will be seen that this rule does
not prohibit the Nationals, any other
club from going out and playing a few ex-
hibiton games after the season closes. 1t
does prohibit, however. player belonging
TO any club signing or playing with another
club of some other league This practice
was somewhat freely INDUCED in last fall
Players from some of the leagues in the
south. which close their season early in the
fall would come north and finish out with
some club in the OPP. League, for instance
strong finish. Such action is absolutely
forbidden by the section of the national
agreement quoted above. But there is
nothing to prevent team sticking together
and playing as late in the fall the crowds
will turn out to see them.

drawn close to this mark, having at vari-
Gus times averages far up in the nineties,
and all hands have been squeezing for
the popular Saenger to hit him over for the
200 mark. During the past two weeks
his sets of 631 and 664 have brought his
average up from 1913 to within twelve pins
of the coveted figure. Harry was never in

WILLIAM HAHN & CO.
RIGHTHANDERS
HIT THE HARDEST

About "a per cent of otherwise normal
people use the right hand in preference to
the left; per cent are left-handed, and it
is curious fact that one-third of the per
cent are ambidextrous. If this proportion
applied to base ball southpaw pitchers and
batters it would cut no ice whatever, says
the Portland, Ore, Journal
AS it is, fully third of the players in the
major leagues are left-handed or at least
pitch and bat left-handed, while only few
throw with the south paw. This extraordi-
nary percentage is doubtless due to the fact
that magnates and managers sedulously
cultivate southpaw pitchers and batsmen,
particularly the latter, under the belief that
the left-handed pitcher has something on
left handed batters, while such batsmen
have an advantage over right-handed bats
men in a quicker start to first base and
fraction of a second in close plays at the
bag.
This latter fact accounts for the steady
increase of natural left-handed batsmen and
of rghthanders who change to the other
hand. This advantage of time close plays
at first base also helps many Iefthanders to
high position in the batting averages, but
~for real solid smuggling must look to
the normal right-handed batsmen.

BILLY KEISTER

quaint, witty sayings. Some of the re-

Keister playing in the outfeld at one time,
and. though good man, he could never be
induced to meet a pitched ball, but instead
would swing for the fence. In fact, 1t was
a case of hit 1t out of the lot strike out
with him about every time he went to bat.
In game at Washington one day the OPP
posing pitcher, was fast as the wind and
the last thing LOTUS told Keister before he
went to bat was not to try and kill the ball.
The first one pitched Keister swung at
with all his might, and on the second he
swung hard enough to drive into the next
county, had he connected. Just as the
pitcher was preparing to let go of the next
one LOTUS called out from the bench:
"Thats right, Keister-just meet them."
