RAH-RAH BOYS NOT
 WANTED BY M'ALEER

"No rah-rah boys for my team" re- marked Manager McAleer, as the uni Yersity baseball players efficiency came up for discussion. Outside of Fred Penney, there are mighty few hrst-class ones that ever made good. Give me the boy from the dumps. The college player, as a rule, does not have to make his living by baseball. Back in his cranium there always turks the idea that, with his educa tion. If he wants to quit the game at any time he can do so and be req so1aely son ply assured Ssn ed, of making a living. he wasn't playing baseball the chances are he couldn't wfeld pick for more than $1.60 a day Something like that would have been his fate If baseball mad not intervened. That's why he plays all the time to make good, the dump for him.
 "Th en. again. many collegians act as if they were condescending when they join baseball club. That spirit doesn't go in big league. Then, too, college. players nearly always have dom receive competent coaching, un- less they hire big league educator.

Ing during the nesting season. Birds play conspicuous part in helping the farmers make their crops by destroying weed seeds, and devouring fnfurious insects It has been estimated that each bird destroys each day eighteen feet of worms that feed on growing vegetation. Hence be active in your efforts to detect those who may slav our farmers valuable feathered friends
 The fishing season will soon open. and since the law provides that no fish can be taken from the running streams except by ordinary hook and line, trot- line, spear or gig, close watch must therefore be held over the waters in your county, lest they be netted and seined by greedy persons in order to satiate their rapacious instinct for quick returns. Seining, trapping and netting for fish are only indulged in by few, consequently it initiates against those who do not own and who do not care to employ these murderous devices. The interest of the whole people. therefore, will be best sub- served by dealing with seiners, netters and dynamiters with a strong and de- termined hand.

BOOM FOR ROWING
NORTHWESTERN COLLEGES TAKE
 UP THE REGATTA PLAN.
University of Washington Will Secure POssesston of Big Stadium nt
 the End of the Ex-
 Position,

Seattle. Wash. March 4.-Northwest ern rowing will be given a tremendous impetus during the coming summer by the worldwide regatta to be pulled of on Lake Washington under the direc- iion or the University of Washington during the Alaska Yukon Pacific Ex- position, which opens on June 1.
 The University has i've crews in training and with fourteen mile straightway course on Lake Washing ton, winch washes the shores of the Ex- boston grounds, they are getting all of the work they can stand.
 The biggest northwestern event will or course be between the University of Washington and the University of Cal ifornia and Stanford. Stanford and Berkeley will row out their differences first and then both crews will come north to take on the Washington boys.
 Vancouver and Victoria will send crews during the exposition and a movement Is on to bring out several or the biggest of the Eastern collegi- ate rowing eights. The exposition au- thorities have entered into correspond ence with the managers of several of them and there Is every present hope that success will meet their efforts.
 The annual meet of the A. A, U will also take place in Seattle during the exposition and the events will be contested on stadium especially con structed by the Exposition management at cost of $25.0 The stadium will revert to the University at the end of the fair

| to overdo their work and get "stale' before the big fight begins in earnest is confined almost entirely to the pros pct of retaining all the old favor of the grandstand and bleachers.
 Players who failed to hit or field last but feel uneasy when they watch the youngsters from the smaller circuit exporting in practice on the playing field. They know the managers are sters, making liberal allowance for h. experience and the nervousness that comes from performing in fast com- pany' for the first time.
 Recent baseball history shows that T. any good man in high company has t%en traded to another club or releas- ed outright because of the promise shown by youngster who, if making for considerable time to come. Thus 1t Is that srping practice Is not alto- gether matter of play.
 Many of the d-timers-players who nave been In the major leagues for many years-will not be at their old stands this season. They will be back where they came from. In the minors, after their long absence. or course, they will have their own stories to tell. No doubt manx will tell their stories straight.
 No. 1t was simply matter of prin- Slptc' U! dt S dlt, SdyS ulscarQeQ rom. T simply wouldn't sign with the old man unless I got an extra thousand; much rather be here at a smaller fig ure. Oh, I've planted mine, I have, and l don't have to worry about the flu ture. I'm glad to be back among the minors"
 But Tom, now regarded by his form- CT mates as a "has-been," must have feeling when he reads of how the old club Is practicing in the South, how prignt the prospects are, and the like. That's the pity of 1t ali.

# Has Been Shown That There
 IS Much Luck in Base Ball

The assertion. in substance, Is being made by everybody directly connected with baseball-everybo from the Cubs down to the substitute outfielder of last seasons tail-end club of the Brown County Grocery Clerks League It is not made entirely in the spirit of bravado, however aggressively 1t Is handed out; there must be some hope and earnestness. back of 1t for after all there Is great deal of luck in base- ball.
 It doesn't matter much where it comes from or how it comes. It Is in- teresting if for no other reason than that it touches on thing that has tional existence. In season-and that means from now until the final game is fought out in the worlds championship series-baseball precedes breakfast so its myriad mak CTS say.
 Favored sections of the Southland, where many of the more pretentious ball clubs are beginning to settle down season, loom up large just now on the map. The Southerners are the first to get the real article of the diamond.
 s norh os Moson os the ana pxons ne must be satisfied with reading about 1t. But the less fortunate are patient, for. when the annual era of reality dawns. their appetites will be whetted to a keen edge through careful and judicious training. When the big races for the flags begin the fans, having unbounded faith in the reporters on the spot, should know almost as much as the privileged Southerners do.
 At this stage of the proceedings, or a little later, when the weeds are be- ing separated actually and prospective ly from the flowers, bear in mind that the players are doing lot of worry ing and fretting. Of course, there are those in the game who have not much reason to worry. If they do any real worrying 1t Is because they don't want
