COACHING A REAL SCIENCE
Watch Brainy Team on the Defen,

Meaningless Remarks Appear Ri
diculOus, but They Serve
as Signals.


''Ee-yah."

'-Nowl Now, Nowl''
Come on; let's get 'emr'
You've heard these expressions, or
some OF them and many others at ball
games. You never gave them much
thought, or imagined they contained hid
den meanings, did you?
Well. they do. When you hear a coach
er turning loose a string Of seemingly
meaningless words, make up your mind
that somewhere in his chatter is a sig
nal TO base runner and batter.
Baseball cannot be played without sig
nails any more than can football. The
modern game is as scientific as the study
Of the heavens.
Watch a brainy team on the defense.
A batter known TO pull the ball right
comes UP. A right-hander IS pitching.
The first baseman falls back and edges
nearer the foul line. The second baseman
draws nearer to first and plays deep. The
right fielder moves toward the foul line
and either in or out, depending upon the
length Of the batter's drives. The lef,
fielder hurries in toward third and toward
center, and the center fielder hustles
toward right. while the shortstop hoYers
closer to second.

Crack The ball. caught by the bat near
the handle, shoots of toward right. The
first baseman stabs it back CT the bag.
the pitcher covers, and the BAH is tossed
to him. The batter is out as the result
OF scientific baseball.
Suppose a left-hander is pitching. The
backstop calls for q curve. The team

Marvin Accepts Job

E. L. Marvin returned home last
week from Washington, where he
was called by Secretary Ballinger
TO consider the acceptance of the
position of chief of the forest re-
serves in In 1ian reservations
He will accept, and expects to
leave the later part of next week
to assume his duties. This is a
newly created department and is of
considerable magnitude, embracing
in its scope forest areas in nearly
everv state. The salary is $4,000
per year and expenses. The tender
of this position to Mr.. Marvin,
without any solicitation on his
part, is highly complimentary to
him, and is a deserved recogni-
tion of his splendid qualifications.
As an adjuster of land grants for
the Northern Pacific and the srate
of Idaho, he spent several years
at Washington on business con-
nected with the interior depart
ment, and as a trusted agent of
large lumber interests in the
northern part of he state, he gained
a wide knowledge of forestry con-
ditions. As judge of land val
ues, he is considered one of the
best posted men in the Northwest.
The department is fortunate in Sc
curing his services.

BootIegger Nipped.

The first attempt at bootlegglng
since the closing of the saloons
under the local option law proved
to be a financial failure. Pete
Marker was the offender. He was
arrested christmas on a warrant is
sued by Judge Stokesberry. The
case came up for trial Monday and
a jury brought in verdict of
guilty. The judge assessed fine
of 500, which the prisoner was
unable to pay and he was commit
ted to Jail. Evidence which led to
the arrest and conviction was furn-
ished by Roy West, a boy under age
who was found on the street in an
intoxicated condition. He was
taken care of by Marshal Patison
until Saturday, when he gave the
name of the party who furnished
him with liquor.

is COLD IN COLORADO
Mercury Drops to Is Below
Zero in Grand Valley.

The Colorado colony in Emmett
are noting with good deal Of
satisfaction the marked difference
of temperature recorded in the
Palisade and Grand Junction dis
tricts and in this valley. The
Grand Junction Sentinel of De-
cember u says:
"The coldest weather since 1898
was recorded here Christms morn
ing, when the temperature dropped
to l5 dergees below zero, accord
ing to the government report. The
day following 13 below was record
ed, and on Monday, the 9th, it
was II below. This is within one
degree of the record cold snap in
1898 when the mercury registered
] 6 below
The former residents of that sec
ton of Colorado who are located
here now, view with alarm the
weather conditions in Grand valley
and are fearful that the fruit trees
will be seriously damaged. They
recall that in 1898. with the tenn
perature at 16 below, large areas
OF peach trees were killed, and
they tear that the present cold
snap will have the same effect.
In comparison, the Emmett
country is a banana belt. The
lowest temperature SO far recorded
this winter is s above. Following

May Form Irrigation District.

There is a strong sentiment
among the land owners under the
canal in favor of the creation of
an irrigation district that shall en-
brace the lands covered by the
Canyon canal system, and it is
probable the proposition will be
considered at an early date.
Irrigation districts have proven
popular and beneficial wherever
established under conditions simi-
lar to those which confront the
settlers here. 1t is realized that
when the canal is accepted, con-
siderable outlay of money will be
necessary in order to place the
system in thoroughly substantial
condition. The law governing
irrigation districts makes it possible
to secure funds by issuing bonds
instead of b, the present method of
assessing the acreage. The most
advantage, however. is
that the present bonds, which are
secured by first mortgage ON the
land. would be retired and new
bonds issued which are secured as
bonds are. by the good
faith of the district. This would
give clear title to every acre in
the district and make it possible
for individuals to borrow money on
their land when necessary in order
to make improvements.
