ABsTEIN FILLS BILL At FIRST

Pittsburs's Weak Spet For Many
Years Being Held Down In Splendid
shape BY Younsstsr- Miller and
Barbsau Have Made Good.
Are the Pittsburg Pirates going TO
keep up the rapid pace they have been
setting for the past month or %. or are
they going 20 experience a big slump
which win pull them down from the
high position they now occupy Both
Managers Chance OF the Cubs and Nc
GraW OF New York have been quoted
as saying that they expect to catch
the Buccaneers on their stride and
overtake them. The two pilots claim
that the Pirates have been playing be-
yond their real gait, and that they are
bound TO suffer a severe setback be-
fore the campaign Is much older, ana
that then their teams would forge to
the front. They advance in support Of
their arguments that no team can go
through the season without suffering a
slump.
Judging from past seasons. this is all
very true. but the Pirates had their
slump the first two or three weeks OF
the season. and they did not strike
their real stride until shortly before
they started on their first eastern trip.
Since then they have been going well,
but few win admit that the team has
been travelling too fast-that is. at a
gait too rapid to be maintained through
out the season.
Viewing the situation calmly, It is
difficult to see why the Pirates should
fall down. While they have been play
ing grand bali right along, there has
been no really phenomenal work In
streaks. No member Of the team has
been batting at a clip which he should
not improve upon as the season ad-
vances, with the exception Of HOnus
Wagner, who cannot be expected to hit
any better than he has been doing, but
who is likely to keep at the top OF the
heap during the entire season.

getting their eyes on the ball. Bar
beau at third is likely to go along at

batsman at all times. He may not

when the season ends. but he is likely

has been hitting Ia timely fashion all

tor in many OF the contests which have

DOUBLE ASSIGNMENTS.
Declared Valid if Taken Prior to the Enactment of the Law of
 March 28, 1908.

Commissioner Fred Bennett of the General Land Office at Washington has sustained Gen. Prescott in rul- ing in regard to double assignments of desert land entries. Entrymen who took one or more assignments prior to March 2S, 1908, will be protected in their rights although the present law does not allow this course.
 Commissioner Dennett says: "The act of March 2S, 1908, provides that no person may take a desert entry by assignment, unless qualified to enter the tract thus assigned to him. There fore, if a person has made an entry in his own right, he cannot take an entry by assignment, even if the area of the two entries does not exceed 320 acres.
 "The language of the act indicates that the taking of an entry by assign ment is equivalent to the making of an entry by assignment The desert land right is exhausted either by mak- dng an entry or by taking one by as signment
 However, under the practice of the General Land Office, where assign ments of more than one entry were taken or where person made all entry and also took one or more en- tries by assignment, the aggregate area not exceeding 320 acres, the en. tries would not be disturbed. But all assignments and entries made subse- quent to the act of March 2S, 1908 must be governed by the terms of that act which is held to mean that the desert-land right is exhausted either by making an entry or taking one by assignment"
 The commissioners statement oi the law and the ruling of the Interior Department accompanies letters sus taining the attitude of the Los Ange les office in the cases of David G. Henderson, assignee of a valuable tract near El Centro, and William C. Fell, assignee of land near Imperial Both are allowed to keep their entries.
