SUNDAY SCHOOL
LEAGUE IS READY

The Sunday School League of the city
will come into life for the season of 1909
this week, as President Carpenter has
sent out call for meeting at his home
tomorrow evening.
President Carpenter states that the Sum
day school boys will use the old active
grounds" 9Th and D streets, again the
present season. which will be good news
to the many friends of the league, who
feared they would have to vacate the
grounds.
1t is pretty we'll. established that the
circuit will continue the same as last
year, Grace Bethany. Ninth, Waugh,
First and Fifth having already made
known their purpose of again placing
teams in the field There have been two
new applications received for member
ship-the new Congregational Church of
northeast and Peck Memorial Chapel
of West Washington-and the old regime
will decide at the coming meeting wheth-
er it will be best to continue as six clubs
or to increase their membership to eight.
1t is very. probable that if the two ap-
plicants can give pledges to present uni
formed teams ON the field. according to
schedule. they will be admitted to full
membership.
The board of governors of the Sunday
School League will readopt the stringent
eligibility code of last year, with several
important and stronger articles added
thereto. President Carpenter intends to
insist on the players on the separate
teams being really and truly bonafide
members of the Sunday school they pre-
tend to represent. No deception on the
part of player or manager will be coun-
1enanced. If 1t should come to pass that
any or all are guilty the league will be
dissolved. Its going to be clean ball
playing by Sunday school youngsters
and they must set an example for all the
other organizations and players to fol-
low" Is the way President Carpenter
spoke about the morale of his teams

JEFFR1Es TALKS MORE LIKE 1T.

Can Get Into Shape.

SAN FRANCISCO. January 1s.-'I want
to see the championship come back to the
white race. where it belongs" said James
j. Jeffries.
Jeffries had just arrived from Los An
geles for a weeks engagement at a local
theater Jeffries then went on talking in
a vein which would indicate that it was
only matter of time before he returned
to the ring TO wrest the championship
from Johnson.
II think I'll be able to make Johnson
sweat If ever / do fight again. said the
big man from Los Angeles.
And if 1 do fight" he added. lit will
be In San Francisco. No Australia or
anywhere else for me. The only question
is whether or not l can get into shape.
1t would take me four or five months to
do so. If after a time. however, L found
that l. could not come out all right l
would give up the idea altogether
IF l ever meet johnson / want to be
just as fit as l ever was. 1t took me some
years to get the championship. and 4
would not have anything to fall back up
on if l went into the ring with Johnson
and he licked me. But I'm not afraid
that he'll do the trick"

CLEVELAND, Ohio, January IS
President Harry c. Pulliam of the Ma
tional Base Ball League, President Ban
b. Johnson of the American League, Sec
retary Robert Mercy of the American
and Charles Ebbetts of Brooklyn and
Barney Dreyfus of Pittsburg, National
team owners, met here today to arrange
the major league schedules for the 1919
season. Haste was made so that the
work could be completed today. NO ac-
continent of the schedule arrangements
will be made in detail until April l.
Both Johnson and Pulliam had prepared
i'm advance tentative schedules. The
meeting is for the purpose of comparing
same and making such minor changes as
may be necessary in order to cut the con-
f1cting dates down to the minimum In
the five cities which are favored with
two major league clubs.
Several years ago both leagues agreed
upon some fundamental rules TO be fol
lowed i'll preparing of schedules, alter
mating from year to year the desira-
BILE dates in the cities where both leagues
have clubs, with the result that When
these rules are followed in preparing the
original schedules mighty few changes
are found necessary to eliminate prac-
tically all the conflicting dates except
Sundays in the cities Of st. Louis ana
Chicago.
Because of this agreement between
the two leagues it may be accepted as
a foregone conclusion that the American
League clubs will open in the cham
pionship race of 1909 in the cities OF ST
Louis and Detroit, in the west, ana
Philadelphia and Washington, In the
east National League clubs, on the
other hand, will start their campaign
in the cities of Cincinnati and Chicago
in the west, and New York and Boston,
In the east.
By the same rule the holiday dates
will probably be apportioned as follows:
May 80 the American League will prob
ably play in Philadelphia. Washington.
Chicago and Cleveland. and the National
League in Boston, New York. Pittsburg
and st. Louis. July the American
League will probably play in Boston, New
York ST. Louis and Cleveland. while
the National League will appear in Phila-
delphia, Brooklyn, Pittsburg and chi
cago.
Labor day will find the two leagues
lined up as follows:
American League in New York, Cleve.

enschmidt met last April in their memoir
able struggle in Chicago. in which the
American grappler forced his foreign an
tagonist to quit the mat and leave the
championship in his hands, the entire
purse was but $4,000. This amount was
divided between the two men. as had been
agreed upon. and for the vanquished
champion to demand 900 for his end of
the bout alone appears ridiculous to fol-
lowers of the sport here. Close students
OF the mat game look on it as an indica-
ton that Hackenschmfdt has no desire to
again meet the man who forced him to re-
llnquish the title by rather questionable
tactics. Furthermore. Hackenschmidt
demands that the money be deposited with
an English bank before he leaves the

Because Capt. Hildreth did not bring his
all-star quint up to play the Blue and
Gray varsity yesterday morning. shift

serve team was substituted. Although
weakened by the absence of two of the
regulars, Capt. Rice and G. Collif1ower,
the varsity had an easy time in taking
the second teams scalp, the final score
being 56-14.
The tug-of-war scheduled between the
seniors and freshmen was declared off be-

pany Of this city to hire Madison Square

sentatives of America, England. Ireland

will have three teams in the race and
that there may be one from the United
States Army. The American teams will
represent New York. Chicago and Cali
fornia. Not since the new garden was
opened has there been a six-day race of

association has naturally caused plenty
of comment in circles where lovers of the
sport congregate The most remarkable
feature of the list is the number of stars
who have been placed. No less than
eighty-six players were taken off, while
less than sixty were figured last year.
Just how hard it is to make up this
list is probably not appreciated by any
body. unless he has been one of the
committee. To give one instance. 1t is
necessary only to cite the fact that ono
player, a Brooklyn man, when asked for
his data for the year. by the commit
tee, did not send in his record at all.
He probably felt disheartened by ono
defeat and simply let the matter go by
default. The committee has to look up
all the data in that mans case. Again
a man often sends in his seasons record
and forgets to put in a defeat that may
have considerable bearing on the placing.

that this Is all that Pierce got out of his land during the year. In the Salt river valley every man gets at least two crops a year from his land. If he grows alfalfa he gets five. Pierce planted the same land in wheat in January In May he harvested nine- teen sacks, or over forty bushels to the acre. which netted him about $4s an. acre Then when the wheat was harvested he planted the corn and pro- duced bumper crop. Some of his corn is exhibited at the board of trade and a few ears were sent to the na- tional land and irrigation exposition at Chicago.
 As sort of experiment Pierce planted four acres in Milo maize which is now ready for harvest. It yields fifty bushels to the acre. The weight is about fifty-six bushels aud the maize brings s1.50 a hundred. The growing of maize in this valley is something of an experiment. It is a fine food for cattle. horses or chick ems. It will be seen that the net results obtained by Pierce amount to s37.5o an acre for his corn and S4S an acre for wheat As both of these crops were raised on the same piece of land his proceeds were ss5.50 an acre from one ten-acre tract. The maize was grown separately. =.

Contrary to general opinion the ac-

 not depend upon the application of To-

 who spend small fortunes visiting beauty specialists" and having their faces massaged with perfumed. pink colored cold creams. or with electrical vibrations. hoping by these methods to get rid of wrinkles and various skin
 blemishes
 Others spend much of their time steaming their cheeks with super heated vapor. which promotes rapid and heavy precipitation. and for the time being relieves the pores of any foreign matter which may be clogging them. But the great trouble with such treatments is that they achieve no permanent benefit. and whatever good they may accomplish is only mo- mentary
