Saengers of the District
Bowling League in Past
Fortnight.

Since the reorganized Saengers mixed
the naples for 3,OO6 set as a starter
they have continued to hammer them for
victories and duplicated their triple VIC
tory over the Fat Men. the strong Orien-
tails and Bank Clerks. This, with the loss
of one game by the Fats to the Casinos.
leaves the stellar quint only one game to
the good in the District Bowling League,
while only three weeks ago they were un-
defeated and had a lead Of five games
over the champions Of last year. with ap-
parently an open field for the goal.
This change in tie standing is partly
due to Miller and Scheurman, but prin-
cipally to Bontz and Burdine. The latter
has always ranked as one of the Districts
cracks, but he started in poor form this
season and not until the last three sets
did he strike his true stride.
The Orientals have been up against H..

fourth place, the result of opponents being
at their best against them. while the Ca
sinos, with weaker personnel, but with
many home games. rank third with a
team average of only s43.

BUSY YEAR FOR POTOMACS.
Will Build a House and Hope to
Hold a Regatta.

The question of holding the great mid
die states regatta on the Potomac river
IN 1908 is the ali-absorbing question in the
minds of young men, and particularly the
members OF the Potomac Boat Club who
are the hackers of the movement.
Some months ago the club passed a res
olution to the effect that the organization
would make every endeavor to secure the
rowing plum for the Potomac river, and
a committee, with Mr.. Claude Zappone at
its head, was appointed to do the steering
in the hope of landing the regatta.
This committee has been hard at work
and is receiving considerable encourage
ment from the clubs. which are affiliated
with the Middle States Association
The Schuylkill Navy has almost pledged
its allegiance to boom the Potomac river,
as it is very anxious to secure the ma
tional regatta again next year and
wants the cooperation of the southern
clubs in it's behalf in return for its zeal
for the middle states at Washington.
Nine-tenths of the clubs of the east,
those who have tasted the style of hos
pitaity dispensed here by the Potomac
oarsmen are always arx'ous to return
here to row, hence the committee is SAN
guine it will secure majority of the
clubs for this city.
1t is big undertaking on the part of
the Potomac Boat Club at present with
out a home. but nevertheless it is booming
the big regatta and expects to make the
year 1908 the most memorable one in the
history of the club.
In a week or SO the club expects to have
deed for its new property adjoining the
.Aqueduct bridge recorded and the place
cleared for action. The architects of the
new house have assured the club that
they will have everything in readiness
for the moving in of the clubs property
seventy days after the work is started.
The architects are now completing the
specifications, and everything will be
ready when the deed is placed on file.
The beat door of the new house will be
large enough to house all shells that Wis

NO IMPORTANT
CHANGES NEEDED
Bill Edwards Declares That
Foot Ball Is Nearer Perfec-
ton Than It Has Been
Since 1876.

NEW YORK, December 7.-"Foot ball
is nearer perfection today than 1t has
been since the sport was first introduced
into America colleges in 1885,
Big Bill Edwards, former guard for
Princeton, later a famous coach, and one
of the officials in the recent Yale-Har-
ward game, made this statement in reply
to a question as to whether the rules
needed to undergo more changes before
another season
"Of course, there might be a few bene-
fetal changes on matters of minor I'M
portance which have no direct bearing on
the game, but even they could be dis
pensed with. I find the public better
pleased with the game today than have
realize, the public is a very important
factor in foot ball or any other sport
that is national in character.
THE new rules have done two things
continued Mr.. Edwards. First. they
have cut down the list OF injured more
than 80 per cent. Second. they have
made the game so open that the public
can better see the plays and therefore
more thoroughly appreciate the science
of the sport. see no chance for i'm
provement just now, though some
changes may be suggested to the rules
committee later on. 1t is always best
to leave we'll enough alone. The pres
emit rules SnOulQ De allowed 10 StanQ any,
way until the players have thoroughly
mastered them"
1t was suggested to the foot ball ex-
pert that many complaints have been
made to the effect that the drop kick
was given too much value-four points
lat first that would seem true" ad-
rritted Mr. Edwards. But l am on
posed to any change in that respect. 1
'ealize that a weak team has a big ad-
vantage if 1t has drop kicker who
can send a ball through the posts and
escape a shut-out. But you must admit
that the best team usually wins. and that
is the strongest argument in favor of the
rules as they stand
1T seems pretty hard sometimes for a
strong team to work hard for touch
down and then have their opponents OFF,
set it by lucky drop kick when unable
to gain ground on straight foot ball. But
you must remember that it takes long
practice to make a good drop kicker,
and the team must have a well-driied
defense to hold the line long enough
the value of the drop kick from FIVE
points to four. and l think that was
enough reduction. ! do not believe a
drop kick from the field should count
as much as a touchdown as was the case
before we made the change.
The forward pass. in my opinion, was
one of the greatest innovations we have
ever had 1t gives to the game a tinge
of uncertainty that makes it much more
pretty hard. though. for an official to
tell whether the ball crosses the line o.
scrimmage more than five yards from
the point it was put in play The for
ward pass, in this respect, has given the
officials much trouble"

"Hunters"-for Suckers"
ON the Philadelphia Record.


The hunters are on Chestnut street
again, with game in hand. looking for the
gullibles. They appear there each year
as sure as the autumn leaves. 1t is
tempting to see real hunter with big,
fat birds. and the banker broker or gen.
eral business man can't resist buying
just to surprise his wife, But there's
merchant on Chestnut street who doesn't
take much stock in most of these buck
skin hunters. Speaking of them the
other day, he said: ooh. yes, they've got
nice buckskin suits, big hats. top boots
and nice-looking guns, but, do you know,
those guns are not loaded all season.
I'll tell you why. The only hunting that
these hunters do is to hunt for game down
on Dock street. The men generally work
in pairs, and after picking out four or five
birds go home and pat on the hunter
costumes and take their posts on Chest
nut street. They make a good profit on
each bird. and their work is as easy as the
customers. If you will notice, their
hunting suits are always clean and neat,
showing they never went through the
brush or marsh.

Care of the Automobile,
From the Circle.

The proper washing of an automobile
is comparatively simple, and yet how
seldom We see it we'll done! In washing
use plenty of water. Two sponges should
be used and two channels skins. one set
being used for the body and the other
set for the chassis and running gear.
since the chassis and running gear will
always be more or less oily and there
is no excuse for getting Oil on the body.
When car comes in at night covered
with mud, under no circumstances should
this be allowed to remain on overnight
and harden. The car should be immedi-
ately run on the washstand and the mud
softened by showering the car with cold
water Do not attempt to rub the mud
off but allow 1t to be taken off gradually
by the water.
For removing grease from the chassis
and running gear soft soap paste Is con-
venent to use. One should be procured
which does not contain free I've or acid.
After removing the grease with the soft
soap the running gear should be thor
oughly showered. Do not allow the SOAP
to dry on.

VOTE ON SENATOR
TENTH OF APRIL
Aspirants for SpOOner'S Robe Seem
to Have Agreed on Date
for Election.

Madison. Wis, March 23.-A gener-
al agreement seems to have been
reached among the various senatorial
candidates and their supporters TO
have the election of the United States
senator begin April 10. Isaac Stephen
son said that was his understanding
and that the plan was agreeable to
him.
It is expected that the senate
judiciary committee will, before the
Easter recess, take action toward set
ting that date. The Easter recess be-
gins March % and lasts till April g.
and it is probable that the caucus will
be held some time next week so as to
settle the contest before the recess be-
gins, as sentiment seems to be crystal
izing on the ACCESSIBILITY of settling
the suspense soon
Even the candidates are weary
ing of the fight and little attempt at
prOselytinG now is done, although all
the candidates are still on the ground
and receiving callers and giving out
rOSeate reports.

Varying Weight Of the Body.

A physician points out that several l.
fallacies, are common with regard to
the weight of the human body. The
man who congratulates himself on his
gain of several pounds in weight in
given period may have no cause for
rejoicing. for he may be under a delu-
sion Very few persons, says the in
vestigator, have any correct idea of
their own weight. AS a matter of fact,
the weight of the body is continually
changing owing to innumerable infiu-
ences. On a warm day after break
fast a man will lose more than a third
of pound per hour Seventy per cent
of the body contains water. and its
weight varies constantly. The infer
ence to be drawn from the loss or gain
of pound or two may be mistrusted.
Fluctuations of a few ounces are
sign that the body is in a healthy
state.-Milwaukee Citizen.

New Richmond, Wis.,, March o.
In the death of Levi J. Cakes, aged
SO years, who lived fifty-fve years in
this county, northwestern Wisconsin
has lost one Of it's most unique char
acters as we'll as one of the earliest
pioneers. Mr.. Cakes came to this sec
ton of the state when it was full Of
Indians and started farm on the now
historic Paper Jack creek. He has
told many interesting stories of the
early days of this section.
Mr.. Cakes believed up to his last
conscious moment that a rich gold
mine was ON the great farm owned by
him. Even when broken by age he
was accustomed to take pick and
shovel and work for hours every day
in the stone quarry on his farm, where
he believed there were deposits of
gold. His vigilance and hard work
were never rewarded, however, by the
discovery Of any treasure.
