CHATTANOOGA IS READY FOR OPENING

Chattanooga. Tenn, April 1o.-(special.) Chattanooga colony of baseball bugs are impatiently awaiting 3:30 o'clock, Thursday, April 15 If the weather is fair and other providential hindrances do not occur, about 1000 or 5000 of the select will be on hand to witness the Lookouts and the Tourists pry open the season of 1909.
 It has been six years since this city has been represented in organized baseball, and now that the time is near for another pennant race with Chattanooga team as one of the contenders,- the bugs here abouts are 'nutty'' on the subject.
 Johnny Dobbs is not yet able to an- nounce his lineup for the opening day. There are one or two positions of which he is not absolutely sure, and probably will not be until some time Thursday. His infield is selected, and the trouble lies in the outfied and pitching staff.
 Of course, Henry Meek, the former Bir- mingham catcher, will be behind the pan. Dock Johnston, last year in the local city league, seems to have the call over Carnes, from Meridian, for first base. Brooks, last year with an independent team at Kansas City, will be on second. Joe Wilkes, formerly of Atlanta. will be at short "Scotty' Alcock, the former Baron, will be at third.
 Rickert, last year with New Orleans, will be in left field. For the other two outfield positions there are Dobbs, Gaston and Reidy. Gaston is a local boy who was with East Liverpool last season. Reidy is just out of the University of Alabama. There is chance that Dobbs will not start the season, and will use this trio until he can play. The local man. ager Is suffering from charley horse v When the time comes to decide between Gaston and Reidy, Dobbs says he will be up against 1t. He has made no de- cision as yet
 The pitching staff also represents quite a problem At present there are four men on the staff, and another one will report here soon The men now on the job are Ginger Clark, last year with Birmingham and New Orleans; Prince Gaskil from Shreveport and Mobile; Ed Mckenzie, last year with Richmond. and Jim Baskette, local city league twirler of last season. The fifth man Is left handler who Dobbs is now trying to make a deal for.
 It is probable that Baskette will be se- lected to pitch the first game. Jim Is a big youngster and if he Is right will give the Augusta batters quite good deal of trouble Gaskill is in excellent form, and he may get tho call over Bask- cite. Clark and Mckenzie do not seem to have rounded out well, and they will not | be used the first day unless they show marked improvement.

COULD DEFEATS CRANE.
Champion Tennis Player Successfully
 Defends Title.

Boston. April 1O-Jay Gould, the na- tional and international court tennis champion, defended his title of American champion in hard-fought contest with Joshua Crane of this city, on the courts of the Tennis and Racquet club today. The match was witnessed by a large gathering of fellow members in the club of MT. Crane. He forced the first set to vantage, and took the second very handi- ly, but after that Mir. Gould settled down to steady playing and won the next two sets. The scores were 6-5 3-6, 6-3. 6-3.
 In the first set MT. Gould won out with his difficult service, but he was unable to do much with his opponent In the sec- ond and lost It. In the third he rallied tsrongly and soon had the set well in hand, continuing his work through the fourth, which gave him the victory. MT, Crane had won the championship several years. Until the entry of MT Gould upon the sport he was one of the best experts in this country.

YALE CREW EASY
 FOR SPEEDY PENN

Falls of Schuyikill, Pa, April 1o.-(spe- cial)-Leading every foot of the way, the University of Pennsylvania varsity eight cared crew defeated Yale on the schupl- kill by two lengths in minutes and s seconds.
 Ya1e'S time was S13.
 The Pennsylvania eight was a few feet ahead at the end of the first quarter. but there they began to run away from the Ellis. To the end of the mile there was open water between the two shells Yale tried hard to cut down the Quakers' lead, but Pennsylvania got another length in the last half of the mile
 In the race for second crews, Tale led one and a quarter lengths in 8 minutes and IS seconds.
 Nothing in the history of sports between the two universities has tended to cement the friendly feelings of Yale and Penn sylvania so much as these races For the last 10 days the Yale eight has been train ing here as the guests of the Pennsyl- vanians. While nothing official was said tonight, Julian Curtiss of Yale declared that he hoped the trip of the Yale crew and the races with Pennsylvania would be made a permanent feature of the Easter vacation.
 An interesting feature of the race was that Yale rowed In an English rigged. with English oars. Both were experi- ments, resulting from the visit of Coach John Kennedy to England last summer to study the methods of English riggings, Before the race started, however, MT. Kennedy daclared he did not expect the outcome of the race to demonstrate the comparative worth of the English or American riggings. The Yale shell is so constructed that it can be changed from the English to the American rigging at will Mir Kennedy insisted that if his crew could not win by the English method rigged boat 1t could not reverse the result with an American outfit.

SPEED MoNOMANIAcS
Are Punished Too Lightly, Say
 Gothamites.

New York, April 10-The justices of the court of special sessions are being made the subject of much adverse criticism by officials of automobile clubs and of law-abiding motorists generally for the leniency with which they have sentenced some of the speed monomaniacs recently hauled before them.
 The prevailing opinion of these pro- testants is that nothing short of imprison- ment will check the reclklessness of habitual speed cranks. The records of the court of special sessions for the week ending yesterday show 44s cases of viola tio nof automobile regulations and that the highest fine imposed was $10O for a third offense and $50 for second offense. The other culprits were allowed to go on payment of fines ranging from s to $30.

This is red lead, and any steel man will tell you that red lead Is the best preservative against dampness and rust. Recently dark green lead has come into use as first coat for iron and steel, but, after all, red lead seems to hold its own as a covering to preserve steel work.

If dolly has a wax face, be very
