This Governments active interest
in retaining arid land in the West
is not solitary or exceptional move
ment in the world Of today. Similar
work is going on in many countries.
Irrigation is as old as civilization, but
Just now it is receiving more atten-
ton than ever before, and many 81
gantic problems are being worked
out by the foremost engineers.
Peru is one OF the latest to turn
its attention to developing waste land
by bringing water upon 1t from rivers
which have always gone idly to the
sea. 1t is true that irrigation in
Peru has been carried on since be-
fore the days OF Atahaualpa, four
hundred years ago, but not on a scale
to be compared with what is now
contemplated.
A report to this Government by Mr.
Charles M. Pepper, special agent at
Lima, says experts from the United
States Geological Survey and from
the Reclamation Service have been in
Peru for some time, employed by that
Government to investigate the pos
sibilities OF irrigation. The recla-
nation Of 100000 acres between the
mountains and the sea has been pro-
nounced feasible. The rivers are not
large, and the projects in Peru would
not compare for size with some Of
the irrigation schemes in the United
States. But the marvellous fertility
of the land in the South American re-
public. and its fine climate assure
success in the highest degree.
The arid lands OF the United States
with five or six inches of rain year
might be considered we'll watered If
compared with some Of Peru's dry
wastes which are to be reclaimed.

KLINE AGAIN TO FIGHT
WAGNER TOMORROW NIGHT

Patsy Kline wilf-have one tough job
on his hands tomorrow night when he
meets Joe Wagner for the third time
at the Tucker A. c.. in New York. The
boys net when they were just starting
out as boxers, again recently, and to-
morrow night it is again for the
punches and sidesteps. This time the
boys will meet at catch weights, and
the little Newarker should be able to
give a better account of himself than
in the previous engagement when he
was weakened by having to make 116
pounds.
Wagner also claimed that he was not
in the best of shape, and has given ii
out that he will put the "sleep bug
on Kline at the show tomorrow night.
There is great rivalry between the
pair and Kline will try his best to put
a dent in the aspirations of the con-
queror of frankie Neil and other good
men. A large crowd of Jerseyites will
witness the bout.

CORNELL FOOTBALL TEAM
PRACTISES IN SNOWSTORM,

ITHACA, N. Y, Nov. 5.-The Cornell
varsity spent a long practise on a
-snow-covered grldiron behind closed
gates yesterday. The thermometer at
the field registered below the freezing
point and the men when not in active
work wrapped themselves in big army
blankets and covered their heads with
toques. The varsity and freshmen held
a 20-minute scrimmage. The regulars
made two touchdowns, Hutchinson
scoring both times. Cullen, of the
freshmen line. captured a fumbled ball
and went over the line, making the
single touchdown scored by the young
sters.
Shearer and Hoffman are still in the
hospital and Harrington injured his
hand slightly yesterday. All the other
regulars, with the exception of Barney
O'Rourke, were at the field. The
coaches have decided to settle tho
quarterback question between Caldwell
and Gardner. as they believe it too
late in the season to develop a new
man for the position.

MURPHY DENIES SERIOUS
TROUBLE WITH CHANCE

CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-Charles w. Muir
ply, president of the Chicago Ma
tionals, yesterday denied the rumor
that there was any serious trouble be-
tween himself and his manager, Frank
Chance, who has gone to California
"Mr. Chance is under contract to me,
and I see no reason why he will refuse
to carry out his obligations" Murphy
said. when he signed for four years
the terms were perfectly satisfactory
to him, and / do not see why l now
should make any change in his agree
ment."
Chance, before he left Chicago for
the coast, said to close friends that his
difference with Murphy was not so
much over finances as over criticism
of his methods in winning the %pennant.
Murphy thought the Cubs ought &c
have won the flag with ease, while

and Pirates were strengthened. Chance
says that If Murphy wants to trade
or sell him, he will be willing to go to
Cincinnati, but to no other city. In
mis- dispute with Murphy, the players
side with their leader.

Handful of Regulars See Final
Meet at Jamaica, Where Thou
sands Once Gathered.

With a frigid wind bowling through
the great grandstand, where thousands
We're wont to gather when the interest
in the sport was at its height, a little
band of 500 regulars saw the Metro
politan racing season of 1908 come to a
melancholy close at the Jamaica track
yesterday.
The public interest in racing has
been on the var since early summer
when the law which had permitted the
making of wagers in public at the race
tracks was replaced by another posi-
lively prohibiting public betting and
providing for a ave penalty for vio-
lations.
Largely as a result of the greatly re-
duced attendance one of the big tracks
brighton Beach, which has enjoyed
popularity for many years, has been
dismantled, and the field has been cut
up into house lots, and during the last
few weeks there have been races only
three or four days a week instead OF
every day, except Sunday, as a been
the practise. Whether this plan of
shortened meetings will be followed out
next year or the pastime will be vir-
tuaIly abandoned is yet to be deter
mined.
In the meantime, many wealthy own

Mcfarland Promises to Change

Career of Battling Nelson"

Packey Mcfarland, the ~"Stockyards
champion" and Battling Nelson, light
weight champion of the world, met in
a verbal contest to e finish at New
York yesterday, and Packey had the
last word. 1t was a great contest,
Packey proving the quicker and clever
er, but Nelson took a lot Of punish
ment without finching and refused to
give one inch of ground.
After it was all over and the men
were retiring to their respective hotels
Mcfarland made the following state
ment:
THAT guy doesn't want to fight; he
wants to write a book"
And it looked as If hat about told
the story. For two hours Packey
pleaded, argued and threatened in a
vain endeavor to get Nelson to agree
to fight him, out the Dane was obdu-
rate and refused to come to any agree
ment.

and then We'll talk business. You

CARLISLE PREPARES FOR
CONTEST WITH HARVARD

CARLISLE, Pa, Nov. 5.-With the
Harvard game at hand, the Carlisle
Indians have been working with every
energy to develop their plays so thor
oughly as to present a perfect scoring
machine to the Crimson youths at the
big Boston game.
The Carlisle season largely centers
on this contest, and the desire to re-
peat the Indian victory OF last year is
strong here, although the Indian
coaches and players realize that they
will be fortunate in tying Harvard.
Everyone in Carlisle figures that the
Carlisle team has virtually been at a
standstill for three weeks, while the
Harvard outfit has been progressing
rapidly. Every one knows tina the
Cambridge lads We're in poor form for
the Annapolis contest and played their
substitutes against Brown University.
Yesterdays practise was largely de-
voted to signals, although the funda-
mentals were the object of close atten-
ton on all hands.

New York Pitcher Declares That
He Has Really Quit
Baseball.

When in Bloomfield, Christy Mathew
son told a friend that it was no joke
that he would not be in baseball next
season, n that he was making more
money as an insurance agent than he
could ever hope to make as a player.
"Tve got to get out of the game some
time" said "Matty," and there is no
time like the present"
The big pitcher also discussed the
merits of the New York and Chicago
teams, and while ne was naturally in
clined to favor the Giants, he said that
the Cubs were "a marvellous piece of
baseball machinery"
Anent promising players, Mathewson
said that a mistake was made when
major league scouts passed up Witness
ing the work OF amateur players.
Take Keller for instance said the
champion twirler. Johnny Doscher's
father was told that there was a good
pitcher on one of the Staten Island
teams, and signed him for the Bling
hamton Club of the Eastern League.

GOAT in VERBAL CLASH

How about Britt? He defeated you
twice, and 1 stopped him in six rounds.
Charlie Neary defeated you, and l beat
Neary. You may have beaten a lot of
good men, but you got them when they
were going, but when you fight me
you'll find it's different"
Then followed a long harangue, in
which Nelson alluded casually to the
fact that he made all the men dead
ones when he fought them and pleaded
business engagements and the fact that
he vas going TO write a book entitled
life of Battling Nelson and His
Career"

finish that book" said Packey. "I'd
change the whole complexion of the
thing for you"
Would you?' sneered the Batter
why don't you write a book your
self?'
Because I'm a fighter, not an au-
thor" countered Mcfarland, and Mel
son was staggered.
Then they got to the betting stage
that all such meetings between two
prominent fighters invariably reaches
and Nelson flashed Il roll that would
choke a fun grown hippopotamus. The
men argued some more, Packey telling
Nelson how easily he would beat him,
until Nelson finally fell back upon his
original exhortation:
Go and beat Cans first"
Packey draws the color line, but he
asserted that If he thought that Nelson
would sign with him for a fight he'd
fight Cans today.

SOUNDED ON THE
EASTERN RACING SEASON

laws governing betting are 10 Sc
stringent rs here. A large number of
horses nave been sent to Europe by
their owners.
There also was renewed comment
concerning the shipment of a number
of the best horses in the United States
to Europe.
The season was a memorable one. 1t
began most auspiciously and with every
indication that it would be the banne
year for racing, both in the achieve
ment of the thoroughbred and the at
tendance.
For about two months all was enthu-
siasm, despite the TACT that the anti
betting legislation at Albany was pend
ing. Crowds daily thronged the track
and speculation went merrily on. The
race-track element was confident that
the bills before the Legislature would
fail, but their hopes were dashed to
earth by the vote of Senator Foelker,
who rose from a sickbed and lent his
aid to Governor Hughes in passing the

off in attendance purses were cut ma
terially, and in some cases valuable
stake events were called off entirely.
The sport itself has been of a high
class, and the horses this year ran
more closely to form than for several
seasons past.

hold the place in Yale's three high-class
games of the season, Brown, Princeton

Tuesday established his claim to the
place.
Tad Jones, as quarterback coach. is
delighted with his showing, and there
is no difference of opinion among the
coaches in the belief that Murphy is the
best choice possible. although he is far
from being a star of the brilliancy of
Tad Jones. who played the place last
year. Murphy's choice settles the
makeup of the eleven for the season.

RIVAL SCHOOLS READY
TO BURY THE RATCHET
Newark High and Newark Academy May Be Seen
in Athletic Competition Before Another Year
Rolls by--EaCh Willing to Go Half Way.
Would Benefit Sport.
BY G. A. FALZER.

RoP a pebble in a pond and you can start a merry
n ~ ripple. The suggestion offered in this column,
bidding the Newark High School and the New
ark Academy to bury the Ratchet, has created quite a
stir among those interested, and it would not be surpris-
ing II those two rivals are seen again in competition
within another year.
The High School would be "tickled to DEATH" so to
speak, if the breach could be wiped out. The Academy
IS said to be willing to go half way. All that seems to
be needed now is a peacemaker, who could formally bring
The schools together.
Coach Charles Mayser, of the Academy, when APP
preached on the subject, said: I'D be willing to play the
High School in a minute. DO L think there's a chance
of a reconciliation | surely do. But I believe it will

For instance. it wouldn't do to start
the ball a-rolling with a football game
between the two teams. There's too
much personal contact in q game like
that. The way will nay to be creased
in another way.
"a game between the second teams
of the Academy and the High School
might be a good beginning, or. say, let
the schools meet in a cro%ss-eountry
run, basketball or even baseball. Any
thing in that line would help wear
away that bitter feeling.
III sincerely hope that peace will be
established before long, By that / do
not mean the Academy will make over
lures in that line. We have been going
along smoothly, despite the break in
the league, but any sane person would
appreciate that a meeting between the
Academy and the High School in ath-
letic competition would create more in
terest and would also prove a good
move financially.
AS for the High School, the blue and
white would undoubtedly welcome the
Academy back to the fold, IL that can
DO brought about without having their
own feathers rufled. The issue may
come to a head at the next meeting Of
the New Jersey 1nterscholastic League.
If il depended upon the vote of the
league the Academy would be read
mitted in short order. for the red and
black even now meet East Orange
High, Montclair High and Stevens Prep
in athletic competition.
The faculty Of each school may have
something to say on that subject. The
players, themselves, would undoubtedly
be willing to patch up their differences.
A Newark High football player. in
speaking on hat subject, said today:
Just book a game with the Academy
n we'll play them quick as a fash.
