| rival in Edmundson of Spokane.
Neither has been beaten at the dis

men in this race who will make an ex-
citing finish. In training mere, Glar-
ner lowered his own record. doing the
quarter in so 1-5 seconds.

PHILIPPINES WILL
Be REPRESENTED

SACRAMENTO, Cal, June "a
Special efforts are being put forward
by the executive officers of the Ma
tional Irrigation congress to secure a
thorough representation in the COM
ing session of that body in Sacrament
to of the reclamation and forestry
work interests of the United States
The Philippine islands are certain to
be ably represented in this respect,
and it is expected that both Hawaii
and Porto Rico will be heard from in
the same direction within few days.
In a letter received from Secretary
Beard on Friday from George T.
Ahern of Manila, director of forestry
in the Philippines, that gentleman
writes enthusiastically of the congress
and expresses the hope that he may
be able to so arrange his affairs as to
be present in person at the coming
session of that body in Sacramento
next November.
Mr.. Ahern was delegate from Mon
tana to the irrigation congress 10
years ago, and fathered a resolution
then passed recommending to the
president of the United States that all
public forests in the United States be
was practically the initiation OF that
movement by the irrigation congress
| Mr.. Ahern has been for some years
lis the Philippines and has made an ex-
tended study for forestry conditionA
and problems and kindred matters In
the archipelago. On this particular
subject he is probably the best in
Horned official in the natural forestry
service. He manifests the keenest in
Iterest in the aims and work of the ir-
Irrigation congress, and is in position
Ito contribute views and facts of pc
lculiar interest in the general discus
sion of forestry and related questions
The presence of Mr.. Ahern, among
lother representatives of distant lands
in the National Irrigation congress
serves to accentuate the exceptionally
broad scope and truly internationa
character which the coming session
that body in Sacramento has taken.

First baseman. Philadelphia Americans.
Two of the most important things for
a first baseman, In my opinion, are
ability TO locate the bag with the feet
without taking the eye off the ball and
the knaclx OF getting the ball with one
hand. Ability TO locate the bag readily
is one of the things that usually wor-
ry youngster more than anything
else. and at the same time II is abso-
lutely necessary In playing the bag
successfully. ! do not know how the
knack OF doing this is acquired myself,
but suppose 1t is practice and thor
Ough knowledge of the position.
Even some OF the players on profess
sional teams are clumsy In handling
their feet, but IL is Il thing To avoid.
You should be able to touch the bag
either with one foot or the other with
out taking your eye Off the ball or glanc-
ing down to find where II is. Try this
in practice and keep on working until
you can make the play perfect. When
you can you have added some % per
cent TO your playing strength at least.
Now. as to getting wide or high
thrown balls with one hand. The first
thing In order to be sure of this is to
get good glove and take as much care
Of II as you would OF your clothes or
watch There is an art In fixing the
padding The latter should not he too
heavy, and IL should be rubbed back
off the end OF the fingers so IA TO give
the ball a chance to be firmly held. II
the padding is heavy at that point you
