BIGGEST GAME OF SEASON.
TO BE PLAYED THIS AFTER
NOON ON ACADEMY
GRIDIROE.
Midshipmen Must Play Hard TO Bin-
The Line Up.

The game between the football
teams Of tic Naval Academy and that
Of Vanderbilt University, which takes
place at the Academy this afrernooB,
was decidedly the biggest game which
has been played here so far this sea-
son.
The midshipmen will have TO play
hard to win. and ia fact. should Van
derbilt be up to the standard Of the
last few years-of last season partic-
nlarly-tbe issue Of the game is de-
cidedIy doubtful. The Navy has been
forced to make some changes on the
eve Of the contest, which viii weaken
the team to some -cxtent, and Van
debit is reported as being in good
condition. though they have not bad
the preliminary practices which the
Navy team has had.
The Vanderbilt squad arrived here
oscr.lhe W.. ID. d 4. at 7.O5 last
evening and were driven directly to
the Academy. They are under the
charge of Coach McGuigan, an old
University of Michigan player and a
ian oas athlete Of the middle west.
Tie squad were the guests Of the
brigade OF midsbipmeTi and spent the
night at Bancroft Hall. The visitors
are a fine, athletic looking set Of
men and made good Impression by
their lively but pleasant maBers.
The work of the Vanderbilt team
during the past few seasons, since IL
has been under tiie tutelage Of Coach
MGcuigan, is not unknown TO those
who follow the sport. Last season was
its best and IL reached a standard not
previously obtained by southern teams.
Tie only defeat Of the season was
from the University Of Michigan, and
that by a score OF 10 10 4. The crown
ing success Of the season was its vic
tory over the Carlisle Indians by a
score OF TO o, the Indians being
particularly strong last season. The
next week they cIfBcbed the southern
championship by winning from the
University Of the South by score
Of 20-to Q.

GOVERNOR SOLID HERE
Anne Arundel Will Stand By Him
For u. S. Senator

Iucre IS scarcely a doubt that Anne
Arundel county will stand by Gov
ernOr Warfield in his candidacy for
United States Senatorship. Governor
Narfield's place Of residence and,
therefore, his voting residence is At
Annapolis. lie has 10 vote there un-
der the Constitution, and the county
viii be the storm center of his fight
for the senatorship, rather than his
native couDty-Howard.
In Howard county ne will .encoun-
ter opposition According to the
present outlook, former Governor
}. Fred G. Talbot viii contest with
Mr.. War6eld for the Endorsement Of
the Howard county senator, Mr.. Cor
man, il elected, and IL the two Dem
ocratio members Of the House, Messrs.
Gill and Brown, also if elected.
Governor Warfield is said TO be rea-
sonably sure Of winning the backing
Of the Anne Arundel Democratic sena-
tor and OF the four Democratic mem
bers Of the House, provided, of course,
these Democratic candidates are
elected. Dr. George Wells, whose po-
Iitical star is in the ascendant in
Anne Arundel. is favorable to Cover
nor Warield. In fact, it was through
the aid Of DR.. Wells that Governor
Warfeld was elected a delegate to the
state convention from Anne Arundel.
The same influences will prbOably
win five votes, il Democratic, for the
Govern0r IN the General Assembly
aud thus give him a standing in that
body, even if he does not secure
vote from any other county or from
the legislative districts Of baltimore.
= The Governor Will not win Anne
Arundel without contest, however.
II is stated that the anti-WeIls eIe-
ment, headed by former senator
Moss, Isaac :. Nutwell and other
anti-WflIs leaders will line up be-
hind Governor smith. In Howard
county, it is said, the Governor will
have q Stubborn fight.

SEASONING TELEPHONE POLES.

The Government and the Companies
Are Both Experimenting.
The scarcity of timber suitable for
telephone and telegraph poles has Of
late assumed serious proportions, says
the American Telephone Journal.
Latest reports of the census Office
show that there were in operation in
1902 approximately 100000 miles Of
pole line. Subsequent additions. how.
ever, together with certain railroad
pole lines not reported, would enlarge
this figure. It is safe to assume that
there are in operation at present fully
100000 miles of line The average
line contains about forty poles mile:
so that there are approximately 49,.
100000 poles in use.
Assuming that the average life of a
pole is twelve years, it follows that for
the maintenance of the lines now in
operation there are needed each year
more than 2.650.000 poles. Such an
enormous demand must soon deplete
the available supply. This is fully rec.
ogniZed by the different companies
The American Telephone and Tele.
graph company, in cooperation with
the United States forestry bureau, has
been carrying on elaborate expert
ments to determine the best means
of prolonging the life of poles.
These experiments show that sea
soned timber in contact with the
ground will outlast unseasoned, and
that dry wood is more receptive o.
preservative fluids than green wood.
Experiment stations were establish
ed at Dover, N. j.; Thorndale,. Pa;
Pisgah, N. c., and Wilmington, N. c
AS part Of the terms Of cooperation
the American Telephone and Tele
graph company supplied a fixed mum
Der Of poles each month.

Charlie, dear, aren't you afraid
your arm will get paralyzed holding

He replied that he wasn't, and that
he would hold it out thus for year
