surpass all the imaginings of the past.
The statesmen OF the days of stress

markable accident yesterday afternoon
near Huntington, Pa, east of Altoona,

All the windows in the train and sew

That the train was not blown from

YALE SEEKING MORE
ATHLETIC FACILITIES

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, February BY ale
athletic officials, encouraged by the gift of
a new swimming tank by Andrew Carnegie,
have been aroused and are renewing the
campaign for a new base ball cage and for
a new boathouse Yale alumni have failed
to respond to appeals for contributions, and
the athletic officials have been compelled
to fall back on Walter Camps secret ath-
letic' fund of 500, 600. which the faculty
turned up in their long investigation last
winter as the sole hope for the two new
buildings.
The faculty looked on the 100000, the re-
suit of rigid economy for thirteen years by
the athletic managers, as accumulated sur
plus as a lavish amount for new athletic
buildings. Some of the professors even
urged its being applied to other uses than
athletics, perhaps to a new professorship
endowment. The fund proves to be entire
ly too small, however, for the new building
needs, and talk that it might partially go
toward new stadium has been quoted by
the revelation that the boathouse- will cost
more than $4,000, and the cage fully as
much, at the lowest estimate.
A year ago plans were made by the crew
officials for a new boathouse. which they
thought would cost about $35, 200. An ex-
animation of the plans showed that they
were not adequate Under the present ar

GOOD SUGGESTIONS
FROM COLLEGE COACH

Coach Dickinson Of the University OF Chi
cago base ball team has posted up black
board with the following suggestions on II
Most of them apply to the batter. He says
he is hoarse from telling the same things TO
the players and now simply points on the
board to the fault the player shows. He
says the system keeps these pointers in the
minds of the men all the time and helps
them in their work.
Perhaps some of our local coaches may
save their vocal chords by beginning the
season with the same blackboard notice:
Don't s
Shy foot-step away from the ball.
Bend the back foot or shift its position as
the ball approaches.
Lunge into the ball as if swinging for a
home run; simply tap it,
Strike at every ball that is thrown.
Cape around the field-watch the pitcher
all the time.
Lose your nerve when you get two strikes
Chop the ball down so it will not go in
the air.
Step into the ball and meet it with all the
weight on the front foot In this way you
get the full weight of your body into the
strike.
Hit at the good ones. Pick them out and
rap the good ones.
Get into your position quickly when your
side it out.
Show signs of life all the time.

SPANISH WANT TO
SEE SOME OF OUR YACHTS

BOSTON, Mass, February 9.-Henry
Howard, chairman of the regatta commit
tee of the Eastern Yacht Club, has returned
from European trip. Mr.. Howard met
many prominent yachtsmen. including the
King of Spain, who received him in special
audience In speaking of this incident Mr..
Howard says:
81 was surprised by the cordial greeting
I received from the Spanish yachtsmen
They were very cordial, wanted to know
all about American yachting, and urged
me to see the king and tell him about the
sender class international races. Last sea-
son the Eastern Yacht Club received an
invitation from the Royal Yacht Club at
San Sebastian of which the king is the
head, to send boats to an international re-
eatta for the sender class at San SebaS-
tan The invitation came SO late that we
could not accept it. The king is still eager
to have American boats race IN Spanish
waters and said he would like to have us
send boats to San Sebastian for an interna-
tional match, and assured me that ne
would give the prizes himself. He thought
we might send the same boats that We send
to Germany to race, after the hlei match-
NV audience with the king lasted about
twenty minutes. Before leaving the palace
/ informed him that l would do what
could to bring the matter to the attention
of our yachtmen."

Yale's rowing plant is less than h.lf 40

Newell and the Weld lighthouses are each
as expensive and more up-to-date than the
Yale boathouse Plans for more boat
houses, rather than fewer, are being put
INTO effect at Harvard, while at Yale the
scneme for new boathouse is practically
at a standstil, and the crew which. will
represent Yale in 1907 will reap no benefit
Whatever from whatever house may be

from the Yale athletic surplus.

Yale's athletic surplus of thirteen years

foot ball grandstands are fast OUTLYING

REGARDED As A I
FAIR INDICATION
Popularity of Breeds Shown by

The entry for the annual dog show Of
the Westminster Kennel Club, held always
during the week Of Lncoln's birthday at
Madison Square Garden, New York, is ac-
cepted as fair indication of the growth
or decadence Of the various breeds. 1t is
by no means absolutely so; for. like all
other shows, this will occasionally
strike new and popular Judge, and also
the reverse, so that there is the question
Of the favorable opinion entertained of the
judge as consideration not to be ignored.
The sudden jump in last years entry of
200 dogs over the previous largest entry
made it a very open question as to whether
there would be any increase this year, but
once again there is new record, with an
advance of thirty-seven dogs and forty-six
total entries over the previous best, and
the record now is 1873 dogs and 3,0o9 en-
tries. the difference between the two being
caused by some dogs being entered in more
than one class. The entry by breeds COM
pared with the entry of last year is as

BURGGMASTER PRONOUNCED
THE BEST RACE HORSE

NEW YORK, February ON the opinion
of the Jockey Clubs official Handicapped,
w. S. Vosburgh, than whom there is no
better judge in the United States, Burgo-
master, Harry Payne Whitney's great four
year-old colt, is the best race horse in
America. This fact is shown in the allot-
ment of weights made by Mr. Vosburgh for
the Suburban Handicap, to be run at the
Sheepshead Bay course on June 90. To
Burgomaster is assigned 1877 pounds, while
Accountant, whom he beat so decisvely In
the Belmont stakes last year, is rated three
pounds behind him and one pound better
than Oiseau, his stable companion If sex
allowance is taken into consideration Art
full, who also belongs to Mr. Whitney, is
rated the equal of Burgomaster, but in
actual weight to be carried she has five
pounds less.
Mr.. Vosburgh has a high opinion of John
Madden's three-year-old Salvidere He has
assigned los pounds to the son of Belvidere
four pounds more than any other horse OF
his age is asked to carry, Electioneer, the
winner of the Futurity, getting In with 104
pounds. Burgomaster Is not in the Brook
Ign, and in the race Accountant holds the
post OF honor, with 126 pounds. CODE
tween, who yet has to show a really first
class performance with weight up, comes
second on the list, with 100 pounds. one
pound more than Sir Huron and DIR. Gard
ner, who are rated equals at 119 pounds.

pels the Jockey Club to receive, gets in the
Suburban with lib pounds, and one more
