A Bumper Wheat Crop.

Inc Brand feels that it is useless
10 further argue that the Panhan-
ole is a fine wheat country. To do
so might leave the impression that
there was some doubt as to the
possibilities of the country. But
now comes more evidence of the
productivity ct the soil OF the
Plains. II. II. STANLEY, whn lives
on til" Fro and some five mIlr
lrcm tie CITY has Just TIA a lrrd {. e
record breaking wheat cro,. OF the
sea'on, making an average OF a. Ia
bushels per acre. Mr.. STANLEY only
had a small acreage, BUT be used
the famous Campbell system of soil
cultivation and gave special attcn-
ton in every detail OF the crop, be-.
ginning with the study OF the co =
dltlon OF the soil and carving ont
as lar as possible the method nd
vocated by Mr.. Campbell. That he
has %eminently succeeded cannot be
disputed, and shows beyond a
doubt that there has been sufficient
rainfall in the Panhandle to raise a
big wheat crop on every farm, il
only the farmers had taken the trou-
bic to saw the moisture and keep
the season for the use of the crops.
Hereford Brand.
While little acreage has yet been
planted to wheat in Quay County,
there is no reason why our close
land will not produce as good as
any section OF the Panhandle or the
southwest. The News would like to
see a large acreage planted this
fall.

The Mexican who was brought
down from near Tucumcari several
weeks ago to the hospital here,
having been bitten by a rattle
snake, had to have his arm ampu-
tated. Had he received proper
attention in the first place it
would not have been necessary,
but his friends bound his arm
tightly and stopped the circulation
for a number OF hours until he got
to Alamogordo and gangrene set
in. -Alamogordo Advertiser.

last year, with the exception Of Cadua
and Harrallson, has already shown up,
and 1t will form an excellent nucleus
for what should be fast intermediate

ing crews from his club to Philadelphia
on the Fourth of July, and to the National,
also on the schuylkill. In August. AS the
club will be homeless. the idea Of dual

popular one, and the prospects for its
coming of are really very bright.

German and Davis-who are preparing for
the trip. All have been in strict training
for some time, and are in good condition
Davis especially being considered fine for
this time of the year.
Now that the idea Of a big open regatta
here this season has been given up there
Is some talk Of a Joint regatta by the two
local clubs, as 1t will be the only chance
for them to meet during the year.
The Analostans have made arrangements
for Plaisted to return and coach them a
part Of July and August, the idea being,
at the time of the engaging Of his serv-
ices, that there would be big regatta here
in August. There will be no chance of
their entering the National, as they have
no crews in the senior class, but 1t Is
probable that they will go to the Middle
States on Labor Day.

ATHLETICS AT ANNAPOLIS.
Middies Defeat Johns Hopkins In
Field and Track Meet.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Nd, May 4.-The mid
shipmen defeated Johns Hopkins in field
and track meet here this afternoon by 81
points to IS. The events were beautifully
contested, and 1t was not until the last
event that the navy athletes made VIC
tory certain. They did this by taking
both places in the quarter mile dash, the
eight points giving them the lead. Carey.
the navy's great Splinter of last year, who
has recently re-entered the academy, took
second place in this event, the only one
which he entered. He is not training and
did not expect to take part. Mcconnell
broke the Naval Academy record In the
shot put, with a put of 40 feet IN inches,
2 feet 2% inches better than the former
figure. Stephenson did 10 feet inches In
the pole vault, two inches better than the
previous record. The events were won as

BOTH CREWS HARD
AT WORK, TRAINING

The two new aquatic rivals, Georgetown
Props and Technical High School, are rigid-
ly going after the training preparatory to the
contest May Is, and both Coach Russell of
Georgetown and Prof. Hecox OF Tech are
zealously watching the rapid developments
Of their respective squads.
The repeated defeats administered to the
junior college outfit by the Props, which
caused the withdrawal of the second crew 8
entry from the race arranged for Annapolis
yesterday, stirred Preps' adherents up to a
high pitch and they are confident of max
ing a 'fholy show of the High School lads.
From now on they will use the boat that
the second crew formerly used as Capt.
Tom Hayes made big argument for it
when he said that he would rather win this
one race with the local rivals than all the
others put together.
cided favorites in the coming contest, it
must not be overlooked that the High
School eight is going some," and they are
pretty likely to give the spectators big
surprise. Although the boat Is not going at
killing pace at present, the boys form is
continually improving, and they are begin
ming to make their advantage In weight
tell. Their long, measured stroke Is, In the
estimation of most critics. vastly superior
to that of the Props. and the way they are
shooting the hands" Is a feature most
pleasing to those who know the inside Of
sweep rowing. 1t is fact that since the
Tech outfit has begun to pay attention to
the coaching of Prof. Hecox their improve
ment has been phenomenal. and 1t will not
take long after the 18th to make the whole
bunch a fast-going crew, good enough to
go up against the best junior crews of the
country.
It must not be imagined that because
they are High School lads they are a lot
Of little fellows. Far from it, as they have
as husky bunch in their boat as al
most any Of the junior crews, as their
pictures in The Star last Sunday showed.
They are now using the racing shell of the
Potomacs, and they find that comfortable
starboard-stroke craft vastly superior to
the small Davies boat they had previously
used. The men are boated as the coach
intends them for the race and from now
on they will take long daily work, ending
with q dash over the mile and half
course.
Although It has not been given out Of
ficially, It is generally believed that some
prominent business man will give a silken
banner emblematic of the Scholastic Row
ing championship Of the District to the
winner.

VALUE OF SCOUTS
MUCH DOUBTED

been making remarkable showing despite
the fact that lot of new talent has been
employed In recent games. A glance at a
recent score revealed the names of We'll
day and CULLEN. Isbell and Tannehill were
both out of the game The club Is playing
Dougherty and Hahn in the outfield, and
neither of these players was with the club
when 1t started in the campaign of last
season. 1t furnishes rare food for reflection
when one notes that Dougherty Is conSld-
cred a good enough player in team Of
championship caliber. but was dropped by
others In the same league because he was
not considered good man: 1t was re-
Gently remarked that no club contained
SO many players outside of the pitchers
who would have job to catch on to a new
place as the Chicago White Sox were they
compelled to look elsewhere for an opening.
X
Odd things come up with the progress of
the game. How is a scorer to score a spit
ball that is not a wild pitch, yet fools both
batsman and catcher-the latter so much
that he fails to get the ball in his hands
at all. 1t Is not fair to call 1t a passed
ball. Often 1t happens that the catcher
is hit on the wrist, the arm or other part
of his person by a ball of this description,
and 1t certainly would be rank injustice
to credit him with error.
Again, why should not batsman who
succeeds in bringing in the run on a squeeze
play be credited with sacrifice hit? If
he goes out he throws away his chances
for hit for the express purpose Of bring
ing in a run, and that is a sight more val
liable to a team than a sacrifice that SIM
ply places a man on second and may or
may not result in the scoring of run. 1t
would seem that the powers that be could
get together on this point and say a
thing or two.
4
The umpires often get roasting be-
cause a play looks entirely different from
the stands than 1t does to the umpire on
the field. 1t is always well to remember
that the umpire Is in better position to
see than either the players or the spec
tators and that he is more apt to be cor
rect than any one sitting perhaps a couple
of hundred feet away from a play. There
can be nothing more disgusting in the game
than to hear the crowd jeer the umpire
for decision given exactly as he sees 1t.
He is not on the ball field to decide plays
in a partisan way. 1t Is one of the bIots
on the national game of base ball that
the umpire does not have the support that
ought to be his first, last and all of the
time In England the decision of the referee
In everything goes, and no one would think
of questioning II, least of all player, and
it ought to be the same way with US.

news Of minnesota,
Looking to the Fair.

With New Years at hand and every
inch of farm land in the state frozen
a foot or SO deep, preparations are be-
Ing made for the agricultural exhibits
at the Minnesota state fair for next
year. And, oddly enough, the first
move comes from st. Louis county IN
the far north. The Duluth Commercial
Club is taking steps already to see
that st. Louis county is properly rep
resented and by beginning now will
have plenty of time to organize and see
that the farmers are interested before
planting time in the spring.
The best agricultural exhibits at the
Minnesota state fair are those which
