He is just now returning to the form

he did All 49, the fastest mile ever run
by an American-born citizen. The ex-
perts are still arguing as to whether
PAUL can beat Sheppard at this distance.
the consensus OF opinion being that he
can. 1t is true that Sheppard beat him
in June in the only race the two have
run at the mile, but the time was slow
and merely served to emphasize the poor
condition Of PAUL. Since then he has
done 40 and 4.22 and is apparently
rounding into condition for a sensational
performance.
1t is evident, too. that there will be an
unusually good field for all the other
events. The A. A. L. authorities are
trying to get out the best athletic talent
of the country for the meet, the pick Of
the clubs and colleges. Heretofore they
have had to confine themselves largely
to the clubs. This time they are looking
for a big delegation OF collegians. and

interest among local athletes AS was

not final and are subject to change In
fact, President Wiber Of the South At

a definite decision until September Is.
This means that any athlete who shows

chance of displacing one OF those men

that no favorites will be played, and

SECRET PRACTICE

Special DISPATCH to The Star.
NEW YORK, August 20.-There will be
lot Of secret practice in foot ball this
fall. 1t was so the last time the rules
were revised, and there Is every indica-
ton that this time will prove no ex-
ception. The early institution Of secret
practice is often unimportant. When
new rules go into effect many coaches
start secret practice at once, SO as to
conceal their own ignorance and lack OF
initiative and invention until such time
as they can get line on what other
coaches are doing with the game.
Since the days Of Lorin F. Deland
nothing of great novelty-nothing at all
startling-has been evolved In the course
of secret practice, and as rule the
team that plays the all-around game the
better is the winner. Desperate ruses
that for the most part are never used
are worked out In secret practice now
and then. but in general less time Is
put in on tricks than the general public
would suppose. The principal value OF
secret practice in recent years has been
the chance II AFFORDED to present
changed lineup on the day OF the big
opponent. Yet there has been hardly a
single instance in recent years In which
the news Of the proposed change has not
leaked"
Early Practice.
This year there will be early secret
practice for another reason. II Is barely
possible that one coach may happen upon
a play that to him will seem rudknentary
and fundamental under the new rules.
and which he would ordinarily use regu-
larly. 1t Is possible. however. that just
such a play might escape some other
coach, and its discoverer will not want to
give il away inadvertently:
1t often happens that an especially good
play Is tried out In the open by the Sec
ond team, or even by the team OF some
prep school FEEDER and in this way

OF course there would need to be some

A State Agricultural
Commission

Mr.. Joseph d. Baker whose name
is one OF the most intelligent and
public spirited men in Maryland, is
familiar throughout the State, when he
honored "The Press office with
visit yesterday strongly advocated the
establishment OF State Board OF Ag-
riculture, or an Agricultural Commls-
sion and adduced many excellent argu-
ments in favor of the proposition.
While Mr.. Baker makes no claim to
originality in advocating this proposi-
zion, he advanced many new argu-
ments in support OF it, and his vide
experience as a business man and lana
owner gave additional io1ce /" What
he said
The largest industry in Maryland is
agriculture, and those devoted to that
sursrit. or interested in it, onlnum-
her all others put together. Until
1901 no attention had been paid to
them bv the State authorities, and the
first Governor to take no the question
oi giving aid to the farmers in some
form or other, was Governor Frank
Brown. His appeals met with no re
Spouse whatever from the politicians
and others in control OF the LegtsIa-
turc, and while a beginning was made
uolhing oi any great value was done,
and very little has been done IRON
lrat day to the present time. Cover
nor Crothcrs has recently taken mp
the question, has shown great interest
IN the Agricultural College and Elk
pertinent Station, and has made some
effort to improve the public roads

RATHER TO OPEN EASY AND
DIRECT ROUTES FOR TOURING

FURNISH CONVENIENT WAYS
OF TRANSIT FOR FARMERS IN
THE DIFFERENT SECTIONS OF
THE STATE.
Mr.. Baker proposes a sensible and
thoroughly practical scheme to bene-
fit the farmers. He advocates the eS-
adjustment OF a State bureau i'll Bal
timore to furnish information at the
public expense on all subjects pertain
ing to their business This bureau
should be open at all times and should

have on hand from day to day such
other information as farmers may de-
sire to have in regard to the best way
OF manage their, business. What soils
are suited to certain kinds OF crops
and what crops are sui;ed to certain
kinds of soils should also be furnished
on request, and all kinds of informa-
ton regarding tn eincreasing fruit
production OF the State should be
ready 1t is true much of this sort of
work is done at the present time at
the Agricultural College, but it is
largely unreliable owing to the in
convenience OF location and the lack
of means to disseminate that -infor-
nation.
This Bureau OF Exchange and In
formation should be located in Balti-
more, the centre OF business and popu-
Iation, and not in a remote corner or
out-ofthe-v place where farmers
rarely ever go, owing to the incon-
vcnience OF location and lack OF in
terest in the place Most farmers go
to Baltimore once or twice year,
and the place OF this Bureau should be
at the business and financial centre. 1t
should be so arranged and Planned
that any farmer OF Maryland, when he
goes to Baltimore would know that
here was one place where he had a
right to go and ask questions, and
should be sure he would not get curt
answers and that the information he
would receive would be in every re-
spect reliable, worthy of credence and
that he could depend upon its accur-
acy.
The farmers Of the State are tired
of receiving only the husks from the
public crib. Very few OF them ever
receive anything nthe wav OF official
preferment. The offices are largely
held by residents of the towns A very
large proportion OF the taxes are spent
in the towns, and the only dole the
residents OF the agricultural sections
get is the miserable pittance given out
grudgingly to build public roads and
repair them from time to time. And
as soon as a countryman gets pub

Governor Hamilton called a tax
