strong in the toad as in the domestic cat--it is best for colonizing purposes to catch them at mating season (March) and carry them to a suitable breeding place. A shallow pool with a small supply of water is all that is neces- sary. Stagnant water answers the pur- pose better-young tadpoles are quite content to dispose of mosquitoes larvae should there be any. The ant and the hey bee have too long occupied the centre of the stage and enjoyed the calcium light of poetic tribute. Their labor is purely for their own kind: but the toad maligned by folklore and fairy story, put to absurd and un- natural rises in early medicine, stoned by small Boys, guillotined by the lawn mower of those whom he benefits the toad has remained unsung and his virtues but scantily recognized.
 Instead of having in the garden sta tues of Pan or Cupid. or images in clipped box or dogs tor roosters which were never of any use to the garden CT, 1t would be far more fitting to have in box or marble a representation of the admirable toad, who. although he works unseen. Is yet the patron saint of the garden.

 Kicked about and scorned-abhorred, Let us offer him home.
 Cast aside the sound that warred. In the garden he shall roam,

SUCCESSFUL START
OF new SKATING RINK

The formal opening of the Hippodrome
Rink, at Convention Hall, took place
last night, when over 1000 skaters were
on the floor. The demand for tickets
was so great that Manager LeMat was
forced to suspend selling them.
The large hall was beautifully deco
rated with flags and bunting. while potted
palms were placed about the main en-
trance to the floor, which made a neat
appearance. The new floor had been
scraped and put in flrst-class condition
for the skaters. who gathered at the
rink at 7:3O o'clock and remained until
the close at 1890 o'clock. In connection
with the skating an attractive feature
is an exhibition of fancy skating given
by Lille and Charles Franks. The young
girl especially received considerable an
plause for her work.
Sol. Minister'S Band has been engaged
for the season and will render selections
each evening. The attendants are all
garbed in attractive suits, and four in
structors from the Hippodrome Rink in
New York have been secured to aid the
beginners. 1t Is the intention of the man
agement to have a professional attraction
each week throughout the season, while
a number of basket ball games between
some of the best college teams in the
country will be played at the rink. It
Is expected the new professional indoor
base ball team will also engage In a num-

HANDICAP GOLF.
AT COL UMBIA CLUB

At the Columbia Golf Club Saturday
and Sunday there was played the last
handicap event of the season, when the
club competed for prizes offered by Mr..
George c. Turnbull. the professional of
the club. This event proved to be one of
the most interesting competitions the club
had had the entire year. a large number
of golfers strived very hard to get the
two very fine prizes that were offered:
one of the prizes being a set of golf clubs,
together with very handsome golf bag.
DR.. p. E. Brengle, who has been playing
some excellent golf of late, won the prize
In class A section, which comprised those
players who had a handicap ranging from
four to fourteen, and ]. M. Stoddard, VINO
some few weeks ago was the local cham
plon of Rutland, VT, captured the prize
for players whose handicap ranged from
fifteen to twenty-four.
The scores that were made by both win
ners were very creditable. Particular at
tention should be paid to DIR. Brengles
card, who came home in the following ex-
cellent score: 4, 4, ), 3, 4, f. 4, 6, 5-39
1t can most readily be seen that the
Player whose handicap ranged from ten
to twenty-four deserves unusual credit
for such a score.
The following scores were made:

PREPs CLAIM CHAMPIONSHIP.
Blue and Gray Boys Are Ready to
Meet All Corners for District Title.

The Georgetown Props have come out
strong with a claim to the interscholastic
championship of the District, and are
ready to defend their claim against any
team that thinks it has a right to dis
pute it. BY comparative scores they are
certainly the best schoolboy team in the
city and it Is doubtful if they can be
beaten. AS whole, they are not near
as strong as the teams of the past two
years. but the bunch is a scrappy one and
their grit has done a great deal for them
in their games.
Despite Techs claims that the Props
have refused to play them, the embryo
collegians are most anxious for a game
and are doing all in their power to ar
range one They have written the Man
ual Training a number OF times and have
also called on them personally, but as yet
have not been able to get any definite an
swer from them. Manager Stanton says
issue a public challenge for game. Last
year the high school lads took a victory
from the boys on the hill after hard
struggle, and hence the Props are es-
pecially DESTROYS of getting back at them
Such a game should prove big attrac-
ton in local circles and, If Tech beats
Western today. would settle beyond dis
pute the proper place for the title to rest.
If Western should win there is no
doubt but that they would be willing to
meet their rivals. 1t is to their advan-
tage that they have never refused the
Props a game. no matter how big hand
icap they were under. This year the two
teams have met twice, each one getting
victory. This shows them to be pretty
evenly matched and in the dope-sheets
foreshadows a close battle.
On Wednesday the Blue and Gray team
plays the Engineers Corps. The school
boys will be greatly outweighed. but their
knowledge of the game and their longer
term of practice should serve them to
good advantage against the department
crowd. The game will start at $3.50 pm.

PURCHASED PLAYERS
BETTERTHAN ORAF TED
Bows That Make Good Are the
Ones for Whom Big Money
Has Been Paid.

Are drafted players good investment
Horace Fogel Of the Philadelphia Tele-
graph raises this question in arguing that
purchased players are the ones that
make the first division clubs. 1t is a fact
that as rule drafted players are of no
account. Seldom do they make their
presence known and become able to COM
mand large salaries. OF course, there are
exceptions, but as rule the drafted man
remains with q big league club but a few
weeks after the training season is ended.
The reason for this Is not SO difficult to
ascertain. If a minor Lacquer shows real
class he is purchased before the drafting
season arrives.
In recent years the major league clubs
have their scouts out all summer and
mighty few men that possess the class
are left when they get through showing
their rolls to the minor league magnates
If you look over the players drafted
last year by the two leagues you will
find very few left that made good. Let's
take the American League for exam
pie. Connie Mack drafted no less than
q dozen or more youngsters a year ago.
Only Schiller, and he was purchased, re-
NAMED at the finish of the season. not
counting Vickers, who belonged to the
Athletic club and was simply recalled
from Williamsport. Durham was sent
back to Louisville. which club released
him. Indianapolis picked him up and
this fall sold him at good price to
New York. Flater was turned back and
then tried out again this fall. Maxwell
and Carter looked good in the spring. but
were later farmed out And thus l
might continue, and repeat that Schlitzer.

tanned throughout the season. he show

Now take a glance at the other men
drafted "a year ago. Boston acquired five
men that way. and not one of the five
appeared in league game this year.
Detroit secured seven. and not one played
with the Tigers until Bush was repur-
chased from Indianapolis. he having been
drafted last fall on behalf of Charley
Carr. Bescher, another draft recruit. was
turned over to Dayton and purchased this
fall by Cincinnati
