x~H HE mystery of the Newark
Baseball club, or Who VIII
Make the Team is the title
of the little baseball drama played by
George T. Stallings these days. The
audience is still in the dark-the lights
are usually low while the pot is being
worked out-but the hero is due to ar
rive in the las act. next week, and
then he may unpack the whole bundle
of secrets.
Stallings busted out of Newark last
Sunday night. ostensibly to take a fly
ing trip to Georgia for the purpose
of looking after some personal affairs"
Now, Georgia, according to what the
teacher said one day, lays in a south
erly direction from here, but Homer
Sherlock traced the Newark manager
to Buffalo, and from there the foot
prints led toward Cleveland, Cincinnati
and Detroit.
It's just possible that Stallings Is on
a secret mission to the West IN a hunt
for players. He declared last week
that he had the makeup of the team
all doped put. but had to neal the
yea or may from certain clubs as
to whether or not he could land the
players he had in mind. 1t is evident
hat he is figuring on getting players
from sources besides the New York
American League Club. Common n
tells that.
The secret trip, if %Stallings did not
eventually lead for the South. might
have been taken to throw certain
people off the trail, a pure baseball
maneuver, for a manager does not al
ways show his hand until there's
enough in the kitty.
The fans are plainly on the anxious
scat. but Stallings may be in a position
to relieve some of the suspense upon
his arrival next Monday. So far the
only new players mentioned in con-
n~ection with the team arc Second
Baseman Fred Raymer, last year with

ACADEMY WRESTLERS
MEET IN SEMI=FINALS.

The semi-final matches in the inter
class wrestling at the Newark Acad-
envy were held yesterday afternoon in
the gymnasium of that institution.
Seven bouts in all were decided, and
the winners of yesterdays matches
will wrestle in the finals, to be held
some time the latter part of next
month.
The first bout on the card was be-
tween Russell Bonyfng and Harry
Towle, of the 6S-pound class. After
wrestling three rounds of four min
utes apiece and neither securing a fall,
the bout was declared a draw. In the
90-pound class two bouts were de-
cided. Harold Smith secured a vie
tory over Kimball Atha in less -.han
one minute, while 1t took Charles Ed
ward nearly twelve minutes to score
a victory Eel ]. Murray. The last
bout was interesting, as both boys did
some fine wrestling
In the 110-pound class four boys had
qualified for the semi finals. In the
bout between Louis Earle and Hermann
Walters the former was declared the
winner, for in the second round he
pinned his opponent to the mat. in
the bout between Herbert p. Coursen
and Harry Goertz the former did no
secure a fall until the middle of tbs
third round. when he threw his man tc
the mat and was declared the winner,
In the 9S-pound class Charles Hardin
qualified for the finals by securing a
fall over II. Dowd.
The most interesting bout of the
afternoon was between Edward Hill
n Joseph Cavanaugh, in the 15S-
pound class. Both boys used some
good holds and displayed plenty ii
ginger in their work. At times il
looked as If neither man would Sc.
cure a fall, but in the third round
Hill secured a half-Nelson, which
threw Cavanaugh to his back.

bowling champions, won the worlds
bowling championship and the special

New York. He bowled 211 in his last
game and made good averages in his
other games. Linden also did well and
made a 204 score for his second game.
The New York men were not UP to
their standard form, and were out
bowled in every game, but the last.
They were beaten in the first game by
IL points, and in the second game by
so points. The last game, however,

Out of the break between Cornell and Princeton Owe football it is re-
garded a likely that a agreement be tween the Tigers and the University of
Pennsylvania may be made. whereby the Quakrs will be placed OF the
Princeton schedule. 1t was in 1894 that the two universities had a falling
off. 1twas after a hard football cor test in which there was plenty of
rough playing. The Tigers accused the Quakas of being unsportsmannke
in their playing and the Pennsylvan ians had considerable to say in re-
turn
Though the feeling IA bitter IN ough at the time, the relations between
the two big institutions are now friendly, and it would seem that the time
is ripe for renewing football relations, especially al the opportunity has
balance their schedules Penn broke with Harvard some time ago and the
Princeton game wouldh fill in very nicely. If it should be found impossible
to make the arrangement this year it is believed that the game may be set
tied upon for 1909.

SHRINKAGE IN HARVARD RECEIPTS.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Feb. 15.-The
annual report of Graduate Treasurer
II. f. Thompson, of the Harvard Attn
letic Association for the fiscal year
ending January /, 1908, issued today,
shows there has been a considerable
falling off in receipts from athletics
1t Harvard. The surplus in the foot
ball accounts falls Sic, 900 short of 1906,
notwithstanding the game was played
ii Cambridge last year. This is nc
counted for by the fact tha bleacher

at hi contest last fall. The baseball
receipts showed a gain and hockey
netted a gain, but in all other branches
there was a deficit.

THE HUMAN FISH
 COMES ID PHOENIX
He Has Scales On His Body and Can Not Bear the Sight of Fish.

Frank Annis. the human fish, flop ped into Phoenix yesterday. He came here from his home in Bellingham, Wash MT. Annis has attracted the attention of the medical profession all over the United States ever since his birth some thirty years ago.
 When he was born it was found that his body was completely covered with tiny glistening scales which grew larger with age. By the use of vase line and medicinal preparations he has kept the scales from his face and hands but his body resembles that of a diamond back rattler. The scales grow on his body as thickly as they do on a California orange tree and are just as hard to get rid of
 One of the peculiar features of his case is that he has an aversion to fish and never touches it. T am so much like a fish myself" he said. that would feel like a cannibal if 1 ate one"
 The medical experts who have ex- amined Annis consider the fish-like appearance of his skin as one of the most peculiar of birth marks on rec ord.

Col. Doran's Impression of the Buckeye

The trip occupied about a week and was made overland, involving the camping out H night and foraging on the country Bat that was easy for quail and rabbits were found every where
 Col DOran nearly missed the rain. One night there was a little before he struck the valley on his return. But from the point Of the White Tank mountains west, the rain appeared to have been general and generous.
 It was the first time Col. Doran had ever passed through that country. and he was amazed at the agricultural wealth of the Buckeye and Arlington regions. The whole country was in cultivation except a narrow strip from the Augua Fria to Buckeye. As long as Col. Do-an had been a resident of the territor-- and a frequent visitor to Phoenix he never before fully under stood what was meant by the Salt River valley.
 He learned also for the first time that cotton growing is an Arizona in dustry. He came upon field after field of as fine cotton as he had ever seen in the neighborhood of Arlington. for years he has travelled ex- tCnsively through the south he never saw better crop.
