SYRACUSE STADIUM LIKE
ONE AT STATE UNIVERSITY

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Jan. 25.--A full
description of the new stadium at
Syracuse university, the third to be
built in this country, has been issued
by the Consolidated Engineering and
Construction company. 1t has just
been completed and will be used from
now on for athletic contests of all
kinds. The following figures will give
an idea of its size
Length of long axis, $40 feet; length
of short axis, ATS feet; area covered,
els acres; normal seating capacity,
10000; possible seating capacity, 40
600; excavation, 100000 cubic yards;
reinforced concrete, 10000 cubic yards:
reinforcing steel, 500 tons; Clinton
wire cloth, 10000 square feet, and gall
yanized metal lath, 10000 square feet.
The stadium was built with the old
Greek and Roman structures as mod
els. The first concrete stadium in
the United States was constructed for
the University of California in 1903.
This building, though termed a sta
dunn, is more in the style OF a theater.
1t is in fact. reproduction of the old
Greek theater of Dionysius. More i'm
portant and more like the old stadia in
it's construction is the one in Soldiers
field at Harvard, which was built the
same year.

GAME AT FIESTA TODAY IS
CALLED OFF ACCOUNT RAIN
Schedule of Contests viii Be Contin=

bara May Come into
League

On account of the condition of the
field after the heavy dews of the past
few days the soccer football programs
scheduled at Fiesta park for today
cannot be carried out, but if the wealth
err will permit the games will be re-
sumed next Sunday in a contest be-
tween the Los Angeles and the Rang
ers.
Both teams have undergone radical
changes in their lineups lately and
each will make a hard fight to win the
next game. The rangers held the reg
ular meeting of their organization at
Mammoth hall last Wednesday and
important plans were made which make
the members of the club confident that
they are in line to capture the pennant
for the championship of the local
league.
The proposed entrance of Santa Bar
bara into the association Is being con-
sidered favorably, and after the league
is in good running order the northern
ers are reasonably sure of at least COM
ing in contact with the players from
this city whether Santa Barbara is
taken in as regular club of the league
or not.
Los Angeles players are anxious to
meet foreign teams if for nothing more
than practice, as they expect in the
near future to arrange contests with
clubs along the entire coast San
Francisco has caught soccer fever al
most as bad as eastern and northern
localities and the teams here have re-
ceived several communications from
the football organizations in the Bay
city inouiring about the prospects for
intercity games.
Nothing has been decided, however,
among the soccerites here to engage in
any but games at home and in the near
vicinity, but if the financial assistance
is given to the sport by local fans the
PLAYERS will enlarge the attraction as
soon as possible.
The Rangers are leading the new
league with one game won against a
clean card slated for the other teams.
The Rangers have recently procured
the lease of Fiesta park for the season
and have purchased full paraphernalia
ana uniforms, although having been or
ganized but a few weeks.

teams have been together the entire

BLNIlNI SWZlNFEST
NEARLY CALLED OFF
LES HENRY FAILED TO SOLVE
IMPORTANT PROBLEM
How the Tournament Originated and
Afterward Was Almost AboI-
ished by PerpIexlng COM
pllcations

Besides being an authority on all
branches of sport, from shooting fish to
selling croquet mallets, Les Henry is a
fiend for statistics.
To tell the truth, Les is fearfully
pernickety about the absolute facts of
the case, and before he will let any
bursts of information originate with
him it must be all to the cherry tree
for reliability.
No one can say that this George
Washington business is anything but
good, and the little Ratchet kind of a
story is worth a bet every time you
hear it.
Les is also constantly scheming about
projects in the pleasure line to while
away the weary hours when business
makes no call for attention, and that
was how the coming swimming tourna-
ment at Bimini Baths happened to be
| Matched.
Well, after all the paddlers for miles
around had given their approval and
promised to be there, and while Les
| has been sitting around waiting for
the day of the big splash to come, he
got to wondering.
How many times would a swimmer
have to paddle around a ninety-foot
tank to go a half mile If he went by
the yard, according to the regulations
of all races.
This looked like an example in chart
class arithmetic, and Les thought he
was qualified to get it done away be-
fore recess. because he trained long
time at Berkeley getting ready to tackle
just this kind of life problem. IL was
also very important that the example
should be worked, as every finster who
enters the tournament Friday night
will have to do the feat in question.
AS any one would, the puzzled promo
ter of tiddledy winks started out by
getting his yards into feet, but just as
he had finished the first step and found
that there are three feet in a yard
the appalling thought dawned upon him
that a swimmer can use but two feet
and two hands, no matter how many
yards he goes.
Even in measuring the ponies two
hands don't make a foot, so Les found
that the fundamental requirement OF
his rebus had gone to the too late to
classify column. The swimmer could
go two feet and two hands at time,
but he could never get around the laps
in yard jumps.
AS has been mentioned. Henry viii
not stand for any of the spurious play,
and he almost called the paddle fest
off after discovering that one of the
tournament rules would be violated be-
fore the first ripple.
However he decided after much con-
sultation with less scrupulous officers
of the meet. that possibly the one that
had made them and not the figures
were at fault, so the tournament will
be held per schedule and promises to
be the biggest thing of its kind that
ever happened here.

horse and rig, in an automobile, and
while they save money on the expense
of maintenance they get more mileage
at the same time.
There is a decided need OF better
roads than you have here at present,
and they will do more to increase the
sale of autos than any other one thing.
The farmer, when he becomes a motor
its, becomes at the same time good
roads enthusiast and will soon realize
that there is no other one thing that
will so far increase the valuation OF
his property for so small an outlay as
good roads.
"You have the climate and the
weather here to make this the best SELL
ing field for automobiles in the world.
and 1t will become such when you have
a system of boulevards that will make
motoring more of a pleasure.
1.-THE problem of manufacturing auto
mobiles here is is a rather difficult one
as the market for the new raw material
is conferred so far away that the mat
ter of speedy transportation becomes a
serious handicap.
"I think that eventually we will see
the manufacturing business in the au-
tomobile line more centralized and con-
solidated. There will doubtless be some
five or six standard makes that Will
incorporate in their makeup the best
features of the many machines now on
the market, and the man who has not
had experience and is equipped with
only a small plant will of necessity be
forced out of the race, as competition
will become keener and the larger
plants with their more perfect organ
ization will naturally take the lead"

II have seen just hot balls caught with

fors four years and during that time did not
drop a single fly ball; his only errors were

proved that Ingham was not meant,
for Early Tide, at four to one, was
a nose winner over Vesme, as good as

SOX TO PROLONG

COMISKEY SAYS HIS PLAYERS
WILL STAY THREE WEEKS
Berry viii Get Angels on the Carpet
March and Intends to Show
Well Against Fast
Company

Los Angeles baseball fans can keer
up courage during this dreary season oil
wetness with a promise coming hot
from Hen Berry himself that the Chi
cago White SoX are almost sure to
prolong their visit to these parts fl
three weeks instead of two as was
formerly intended.
His chubby majesty received a let
ter only yesterday from Manager Com
iskey of the Windy City team saying
that on account of bashful hesitancy
on the part of the railroad officials to
extend satisfactory return accommoda-
lions for his players Comiskey will tarry
here instead of spending the third week
of training in the south.
This news has caused Henri's pulse
to jump to the high speed and has
also necessitated some changes in his
plans which will only increase the
worth of the local outlook for the COM
ing season.
Berry win get his prides together on
March / fer the first bulletir- of in
structions, and the Angels will have a
full week of rehearsal before the fast
company arrives. Hen says he can
hang up white stockings galore with
the aggregation he will have when
diamond action commences, not to say
anything about taking the pennant of
1908 of the Coast league into the curio
closet.
This conversation sounds good and
looks almost as trustworthy as 1t
sounds, for all of the champion Angels
will be on the same old patch together
with a couple of new discoveries that
have been dug up out of the cactus.
The bleached hosiery will get here
rather shopworn from hard winter
on the shelves and they should be gar
tered for at least the beginning exhibit

cotton, and the first reported in
north Arkansas, was grown In the
Cherokee Bay and was gathered and
marketed by Russell Patterson at
Reyno Monday. The new bale was
sold to j. NJ. Hawks of Reyno and
brought the handsome price of 8
cents in the seed. A premium of
$500 was also given Mr.. Patterson
for his extra efforts in marketing
the first bale. This is the first time
in the history of the county that a
new bale has been marketed in
August and is proof conclusive that
Cherokee Bay is coming to the
front, and the man who gets ahead
of the enterprising farmers of that
section will know he has done
something when he does it.

A Good Game

Maynard aid Sutton played a
good game of . baseball on the local
diamond last Saturday which was
witnessed by large crowd of peo-
pie and pronounced by all to be the
best game of the season. But
seven scores were made and five of
them were made in the first inning,
on errors of both teams, Maynard
crossing the plate three times in the
initial inning and Sutton twice.
After that both teams got down to
business and everything was a shut
out until the sixth when Maynard
succeeded in scoring one time. The
next score was made by Sutton in
the ninth, making final score Of 4
to 8 in favor of Msy nard. Both
teams played good ball and promise
a better game here tomorrow.
