STORY ABOUT HASKINS

Ignorant and Apparently Malicious Defense Arouses
Officials of Richmond Meat-Georgetown Canoeing

Pennsylvania sent two men TO the Rich

GeOrgetown's Peculiar Action.
Georgetown's canceling Of the match

for the Federal games in Washington
next Saturday night, can hardly be re-
garded than as needing a long explana-

Johns Hopkins for the Richmond meet

Where the Trouble Lies.

No one VINO has ever seen a George
town team in losing struggle could
doubt for a moment that its men are
grit clear through and through. and
there does not appear 10 be any ground
for believing that its relay runners this
season are different from those Of the
past. The whole trouble seems TO be
in the faulty and entirely inadequate
athletic system in use there, by which
men who do not know the game are
placed in positions requiring long ex-
perience and ability 90 cone with some
Of the shrcwdest men in the college
world.
The handling OF the relay team is
a case IN point. The manager probably
figured that his team might not do as
well as expected next Saturday and,
therefore. might lose some of its value
as drawing card for the Georgetown
meet on March O. II he wanted to look
at II that way ne had a perfect right
70 do so. but ne should never have made
the match In the first place, nor should
ne have so unanswered that his uni
versity could be accused Of being afraid
TO run against Johns Hopkins at the
Richmond meet.

A Foolish Attitude.

In passing, 1t may be stated that in
the first batch Of the manifolded and
nlegible press agent copy sent out by
the managers of the Georgetown meet
1t was stated that Catholic University
would probably be matched with Con
EagO College for relay race in the
Georgetown meet. This was so rldicu-
lous. and so evidently intended as a slur
on the Catholics that it got into only
one paper. and that by an accident
Trying 70 besmirch a legitimate and
game newcomer in the local field of
sport does not COmpOTt well with
Georgetown's traditions of n never-say-
die lighting spirit, which spirit alone
enabled IL TO trim the powerful George
Washington University football team
last fall and elected the enthusiastic
praise OF every oarsman at Poughkeep-
sic last summer.

loves Game Recovery.

Lowe, however, was not to be deded
and kepJ coming back for more and at
the end Of the third round he had Willis
measure and actually chopped him 70
pieces with his left hand. The Quaker
City lightweight was bleeding and
groggy at the end Of the fourth, fifth
and last rounds and the bell was - vel
come sound.
1t was rafting fight, and few around
the rinGside expected Lowe 20 last the
second round out lie had taken the
bout on short notice to please the Phila-
delphia crowd, and was not in good { IN
dltiOn. Willis had been training for
two weeks and was In great condition.
He expected 70 catch Lowe mapping, and
nearly accomplished the trick.
When the Washington lightweight re-
turned TO his corner at the end of the
first round his seconds were eager to
throw up the sponge, but he laughed at
the proposition.

Washington Whist Enthu-
SiaStS Leading Other Play

The Washington Chess Club is now
conducting a very interesting series Of
whist contests. Every Wednesday
night a whist tournament is in progress.
This IS pair contest, conducted under
the Howell system, where each pair play
against every other pair.
The games on Saturday night are con
Quoted under the Mitchell system. where
all north and south pairs sit still and
east and west pairs progress. Fifteen
pairs contest in the Wednesday tourna-
ment Will the Saturday night tourna-
ment has as many as nine tables con-
testing.
Messrs. Polk and Nye are now lead
ing in the whist tournament on Satur-
day night. while Mr. Lavender and Mr..
Smith made top score playing north and
south. Congressman Foster and Me
Young made top score playing east and
west.

The club has recently received an in
vitatiOn 10 join the American Whist
League, an organization well known to
all whist players and almost national in
its scope. The members are looking for

cage 10 play in the annual meeting next
July. There is still a great deal of in
terest taken in the chess contests which
are still being held in the club.
The series between Mr. Fox, champion
of the Manhattan Club. New York, and
Mr.. SOurnim, champion of the District
of Columbia. now stands to .. Mr..
Sournim having won another game from
Mr. Fox Monday night. The games be-
tween these two well known experts are
now temporarily adjourned, owing 20
Mr.. FOx's absence.
The chess tournaments are now being
held in the club rooms. In the handicap
tournament Mr.. William Smith is now
leading. with Messrs. Boykin and Adams
close seconds. There is also tourna-
ment for the championship of the club,
which will probably keep alive the inter-
ests in chess for several months. AS
this tournament has just begun, 1t is
yet too early 10 pick the winners. but
the probabilities are that the real con-
tests sill lie between Mr.. Smith and
Mr.. Sournim.

ROADS, BUT NOT LIBRARIES.

Indian TerritOry's Proposition to-
Carnegie to Build Highways.
A movement has been started at
Muskogee, l. T., to interest Andrew
Carnegie in the proposition Of giving
funds for the construction of Carnegie
public roads in the new state instead
Of to public libraries, writes a Musko-
gee correspondent of the Kansas City
Star. A Muskogee newspaper has pub
lished this proposition, together with
a map showing a road ten miles in
length leading from Muskogee to In
dian university, Hyde Park, Fort Glib
son and to the National cemetery be-
yond that place
1t is shown that this road could be
built for 100000, including wagon
bridge across the Arkansas river. 1t
would be graded, drained and macad-
amized and set its entire length with
maple or elm trees at that price 1t is
shown that the amount of money that
Is now being given away by Carnegie
would build 5000 miles of such road
each year and that the benefit to the
public would be much greater than in
cases where the money goes to public
libraries. This is especially true in
the new state, where it will be impos-
sible to construct roads of any conse-
quence for several years.
Maps showing this road were to be
forwarded to Mr. Carnegie and the
matter laid before him for his consid-
GRAFTON. The scheme is an entirely
original one, and Its reception by the
great benefactor is problematicaI.

Ont During the Cold Weather.
In order to obtain the best results
from hens in winter it is necessary t.
give them regular feed and care. says
Thomas Thornley, in American Poultry
Journal, and he then proceeds rs fol
lows:
We always have plenty of eggs to
sell in winter.
Our hens are kept in good, comfort
able quarters with never over thirty
hens In one flock.
Our house is seventy feet long by
fourteen feet wide, divided into seven
apartments, giving l40 feet door space
for each thirty hens, nearly five square
feet to each hen. This gives ample
room for the Mediterranean class
which we breed.
The ground flOor is yellow clay, on
which is kept one foot of straw.
The first thing in the morning our
hens are given a feed of whole grain,
consisting of one part corn, one part
wheat and one part clipped oats.
About two quarts of this, thrown in
the litter, to each thirty hens will give
them good exercise. which all laying
hens should have when coming from
the roost to keep them healthy and in
good laying condition. This feed will
keep the business hen busy most of
the forenoon.
At noon we feed warm mash Of
coarse bran, one-half buShel, loose
measure, into which are mixed one-half
peck of small potatoes, cooked soft, ta-
ble scraps and two pounds of ground
bone, using some good poultry food ev-
cry other day.
This mash is fed in troughs, which
are hung up out of the way as soon as
emptied, which never requires over five
minutes.
At night they are fed One-half the
same feed as in the morning, this be- |
ing warmed on cold days. We often
parch the corn black, and this takes
the place of charcoal to certain ex-
tent.
Fresh, not cold, water and plenty of
grit are kept before the hens all the
time Our grit boxes are made on the
self feeding hopper plan, so there is
no waste.
After the coarse grit has been picked
put we screen what remains for small
hicks in the spring.
For animal food we give plenty of
kim milk and unrG aracklinUS which |
We find just as good as green bone and
much cheaper. We buy the cracklings
rom the butcher at l cent per pound,
them up and feeding In the
nash or separate.
We find mangel wurZels, hung on
pixies two feet from the ground, the
est green food obtainable. Cabbage
r potatoes fed in the same manner
lake an acceptable change

MAKING GOOD ROADS.
Increase Of AutomobiIing Has Give

Increase of AutOmObiIing Has Given
Tremendous Impulse TO Task.
The question of good road making in
the United States within the last ten
years on account of the bicycle and
the automobile has greatly increased
In Importance, says the New York Her
aid. Not only have great number OF
macadam roads been built of late, but
other roads have been improved, as by
the use of OIL so that they give good
satisfaction and wear much better
than formerly. The United States gov.
ernment has set itself the task Of fig
uring the total roads Of the country
through the medium of the bureau OF
agriculture and up to date has figures
as follows (the only statistics of the
kind ever gathered In this country:
Alabama, 50,0S9 miles; Arizona, 5.98T
miles; Arkansas, 36,445 miles; Iowa.
102,448 miles; Maine, .25,52S miles;
Maryland. 1G, ,7T3 miles, New Hamp-

nessee, 4S,9S9 miles; Vermont. 51,S12
miles; Washington, 1892 miles-ln all
469.20G miles of road thus measured.
The total roads In the country have
not yet been figured, but it has been
estimated that they will reach at least
100000 miles A number of the
states, notably New York, Connecticut
and Maine, have leglslated to assist
counties and towns within their own
confines by offering TO pay half the
expense Of roads made new or Inn
proved in a specified manner. New
road building has been undertaken in
consequence.
The prosperity of a country is, of |
course, dependent in a large degree up /
on Its highways as feeders of the rail |
ways, affording means for people to
trade with each other and TO go about.
Unquestionably the automOblist's in
fiuence for good roads marks a new
era whose future can only be guessed
at, but which may change our meth
ods of living and doing business as
much as the railroads have changed
them in the last seventy-fve years.
In the eastern states the tendency is
to build hard macadam roads with
moderate grades To form such road
the ground is dug and plowed to the
required shape and then covered with
layers Of stone, the larger stones be-
ne ar the bottom. When rolled prop

Geese can be kept on grass and wa
ter from spring until late fall. Nearly
every farm has some meadow which
could be utilized to very good advan-
tage by devoting 1t to goose culture.
The only time it is really necessary to
feed grain Is in winter. and then only
enough is required TO keep the geese in
good breeding condition. Feed little
oats, cut clover and green cornstalk
leaves, oyster shell and plenty Of wa
ter, with little corn at night on very
cold days, and the geese will be in the
best condition when the breeding sea
son arrives.

MOVABLE BRooDER,

beneath the house enable the caretak-
er to move it to new ground with lit
tie trouble, and the economy and wis
dom of covering the sides with tarred
felt are obvious. as it makes the house
cool in summer and warm in winter
The arrangement of windows, too, is
admirable. This house is designed to
contain two brOOders and after the
Matching season may be converted into
colony coop in which to carry pullets
to full maturity.
