WHAT CONSTITUTES
TEAM WORK
Understanding Between
Players Essential in National
Game,

what constitutes team work. is a
! question often asked. The fan arc
constantly reminded that Thu feature
Of a clubs play Is one Of the most
important essentials.
Naturally they wonder what really
constitutes team play aud hence the
reason tho above question ~ so often
asked. Team work IS nothing moro
than n perfect understanding between
All the members Of a club as 10 what
Is going to be done on any particular
play.
For Instance. There Is q man on
first with but one out. # tho base run
ncr decides 10 try for second he should
FIRST impart this Information to the
batter. 50 that The man at the plate
Gun In an legitimate way help him
reach the base In safety. or vice
versa.
This applies to every play a team
may make. where there are two or
more mon connected with the play.
We VIII say that with a man on first
the guardian Of the sack decides that
there ia u chance 10 catch the bast
runner mapping.
The first saeker accordingly signals
the catcher to throw down There on
the next bali pitched. In order for the
hackstop to be SURF that his end Of the
play ia going to be made right, he
must let the pitcher know what he rs
going TO do. so that the box artist
can hand tho BAN go wide Of the plate
that the batter viii not have a chance
to hit the ban ana thus spoil the at
tempted play
When his understanding is no thor
ough Il certainly works havoc with a
clubs team play With a man on FIRST
and one out, the hit and run play is
attempted.
That is. the batter decides on that
play and gives the signal. lie takes It
for granted the man at ilrsi Is going
down ON the next BAN pitched ana
to help him out swings at the ball, no
matter where II is.
Instead Of the base runner starting
for second, he remains glued to the
bag simply because ne has missed the
sign, The man at bat goes through
with his end of tho play and possibly
misses hitting the ban.
A play of this Kind may easily lose
n club the game, and emphasizes the
Importance OF having an understand
ing between every member of the

10 however one favorable feature
about the situation and that is
that the first big snow that we had
was very wet and is now almost
solid ice, and therefore cannot melt

SAN LUIS VALLEY WATER RIGHTS

So far as specific features of the
general problem of irrigation in
this state are concerned, altogether
the most important is the question
Of San Luis valley water rights.
It is a lamentable fact that the
department of the interior is max
ing a serious mistake by placing
restrictions upon the development
Of the water resources of that val
ley; and so urgent has the matter
become that the people should
take steps Immediately to lay it
before the federal government in
its proper light.
Every one who has given any
attention to irrigation knows that
far more efficient use of water can
be obtained near the source of a
stream than three hundred miles
farther down. Notwithstanding,
this il true, the farmers of the San
Luis valley near the source of the
Rio Grande are prevented from
extending their irrigation systems
by the refusal Of the department
OF the interior to confirm locations
for reservoir sites ON the public
lands. This refusal is based upon
the fact that the Reclamation Ser
vice desires to store the water in q
gigantic reservoir to be constructed
near Engle, New Mexico.
Tho object Of building this res
srvoir il, first, to supply 10000
acre feet Of water to the repub-
10 q Mexico and partly in
Texas. 7r
In other words, apart from the
water to be supplied TO Mexico,
this scheme 10 one TO take water
away from Colorado where the
greatest efficiency can be obtained,
and turn It over TO . lot Of private
land owners 800 miles farther
south.-Denver Republican.

The city Of Chicago will spend
$1,000, 900 during the coming year

would not be needed for police
