Referring to the report of the COM

THE commissioner finds a condi-

timber of the United States other
than the government timber that calls
for serious attention. The direct in

covered an area which contains 80
per cent. OF the privately owned tim

His report shows that one half of
the timber in this area is owned by
200 individuals and corporations :;
that IA per cent. is owned by these
corporations, and that there is very

COLLEGE LEADERS IN
DIFFERENT SPORTS
Yale Best in Foot Ball, Penn
in Base Ball and G. w. u.
in Rifle Shooting.
By Edward R. Bushnell.

OF all the reviews published at this time
of the world Of sports for the year 1909
there is none more important than that OF
intercollegiate ath .etics. The natural Pc
riod for reviewing the college athletic
year is at the end of the academic term
In June. but the present calendar year
has seen enough new Developments to
make it worth while at the beginning of
1910.
For the academic year of l.OS-O9 the
University of Pennsylvania won the
greatest number of championships. with
Yale close second and Columbia third.
But when the year is measured In the
calendar form Yale succeeds In supplant-
ing Pennsylvania as the leader. Yale's
great record on the foot ball field, where
the Ellis were easily supreme, was what
reversed the positions of the two institu-
tions.
During the last calendar year there were
twenty sports in which championships
were decided. BY counting each cham
pionship as one point Yale finished the
season with a score of 81, with the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania In second place
with AZ. The standing of the other col
,eges was as follows: Cornell. 3; Column
bia. 3: Harvard, "a; West Point, l.;
George Washington 1. The following ia
BILE shows at a glance the twenty COMPETE
tive sports IONS dered and the colleges
which won championships in each.

MOST BIG LEAGUE
CLUBS HAVE FARMS
Class A Teams Will Suffer as
Result of American
Leagues Act.

In passing a rule to do away with
farming the American League has
caused a few of the teams in the class 4
leagues to worry somewhat about the
future, for there was scarcely an Amer
lean League club that did not have his
favorite spot to send excess baggage.
For instance. George Stallings of the
New York club sends his best second
string men to Joe McGinnitys Newark
club, while Utica of the New York State
League gets the remainder. Indianapolis
and Rochester are the clubs considered
friends of Detroit. st. Paul gets first
call on Boston's superiuous players. while
Toledo seems to have the call when the
Cleveland magnates cut down their list.
Connie Mack sends his recruits to the
Tri-State League, close to home, where
he can keep an eye on them. Minneap-
oils was Washington's farm last season,
but as Cantillon is out and left McAleer
with only Twenty-Five men. the Nationals
will have no dumping ground among the
minors.
Louisville will receive the men that St.
Louis does not want, for Bob Hedges has
an interest in the Colonies, NJ nneapoiis
will probably get some favors from Com
iskey this winter. while the Providence
stub. in which Hugh Duffy still holds
stock. may get some Of the White SoX
that Duffy does not want at Chicago.
The National League has been some
what freer from the farming" evil than
the American. Still, scarcely club re-
f. aimed entirely. Ebbets sent his extra
men to Rochester last season, Pittsburg to
Wheeling, while New York and Boston
were friendly to certain clubs in the little
leagues in the east. Buffalo also was lin

to send its excess material to Atlanta. but

Reds from Atlanta as spring camp.

Charles w. Murphy has tipped or his
most recent cause of resentment toward
b. b. Johnson. He claims that the Amer
lean League presidents announcement
that johnny Killing would not be permitted
TO engage In organized base ball for a
long period of years has made the
catcher practically useless to him. New
York and Philadelphia are very anxious
to pay the limit for the Cub backstop, but
only on condition of his reinstatement
When you hit Charles pocket you hit
the bulls-eye.
Johnny King would be delighted to
play with the Giants He is quoted as
saying that nothing would suit him bet
ter. OF course, he would have to be rein
stated, etc., but he would be glad to play
in New York. When Chicago was men,
toned to him he said: Nothing doing
/ would rather remain In Kansas City and
handle a little semi-pro. club than earn
20 cents a season for Murphy

whore Roger Bresnahan must compete In
popularity with Jack OConnor. Last year
Roger had things his own way. The
Browns went to pieces and McAleer's name
was scarcely heard. St. Louis abs lutely
went mad over Bresnahan, and this great
fame sort of turned Rogers head. Never
theless. he was plugging every day with
his team OF tyres. and the American
Leaguers saw that they must offset him
quickly If they wanted to hold their pa
tronage, so they turned the club over to

Roy Hartsell is to play short unless
Bobby Wallace beats him to it: In Lake.

pitchers. and he is pretty well fortified
behind the bat with Jimmy Stephens, Kill

of a place in the outfield and maybe
George Stone also. Ray Demmitt may get
the Job in right.
Charles Dooley, manager Of the Utica
club Of the New York State League. who
recently sold Outfielder Madden to the
Highlnnders. says this young player is a
s.ai. Dooley tells this story to illustrate
Madden's f1eetness Of feet: Last sum-
mer in q game between Utica ard Al
banv Madden made a wager of $40 with
Buck Freeman of the latter team that he
could score from first base on any kind
of a base hit to right field when Freeman
was playing. The chance, came I'm the
sixth inning. when Madden beat out a
bunt The next batsman dropped single
just out of Freeman's reach and M,dden
was on his way. When Freeman picked
up the ball Madden was at third base.
and he crossed the plate just as Buck s
throw reached the pitcher. Madden is one
Of the best young players ever developed
