THE VETERANS REUNION.
Snyder and the Major Attend
the Reunion at Norfolk-Ob-
servations on What Was Seen.

To the Editor of The Robesonian:
Last week the major and l,
taking advantage Of the low rates
and the prospective old Virginia
hospitality, hied our way to Nor
folk. where the North Carolina
Veterans Association met at the
invitation of the Virginia veter-
ans. | need not say that we had
a most pleasant time, barring the
extreme heat. We were royalty
entertained by the Norfolk folks,
who, by the way, are mostly
North Carollnians. One speak
er said that during the war there
were so, 900 North Carolinians in
Virginia fighting the yankees,
and now there were $1,000 Tar
Heels in theSlate doing business.
And, by the way, the major is
a great man to travel with, as
he seems to know almost every
body, and everybody knows him.
Leaving the main line at Rocky
Mount, we took the short cut by
way oI Tarboro on through Suf-
folk to the city. We crossed Tar
river, which reminded me of the
old couplet,
cup Cape Fear and downTar river,
Two overseers to one poor nigger.'
The Legislature once changed
the name to Tau river, but it
seems never to have taken we'll,
as the river still goes by the name
of Tar. The yankees used tc
think the river ran tar.
| The maj jority of the veterans
are rather a hard-looking set (of
course we are not included in
that remark). 1t they woulc
dress up like they were going t(
church, instead Of Ike gong tt
market, it would rebound more tt
their credit.
The lay of the land from here
to Norfolk is pretty much of {
, sameness. We noticed a grea
,, deal of land lying idle and uncul
tivated. We saw no new grounds
which is very different from
, Robson, where new clearing
are in evidence on every side
From Tarboro on we saw a grea
many fields Of ground-peas il
,, cultivation, and in some place
= : it seemed to be the main crop.
! Norfolk was wide open, but w
r saw very few vets tangle-legge'
. from the fact that prohibition
! had caused them so abandon tn
. habit. There were said to hav
! been 1000 veterans present an
! l, 500 in line of march. The thi
: line is rapidly getting thinner an
f it will not be long before the las
Il one of US will have answered tn
roll call for the last time.

PRINCETON TO ROW.
Will Meet Naval Academy Eight at
Annapolis.

NEW YORK. February 12.-For the
first time since the early eighties Prince
ton athletes will engage in an intercol-
crew will race the Naval Academy eight
on the Severn river April 30. For the
past few years, since the completion of
Carnegie lake made aquatic events pos
sible in Jungletown, the Tigers have held
interclass races on the artificially con-
structed lake. The announcement that
contest has been scheduled with the
midd.eS makes it quite probable that a
Princeton shell will figure in the inter-
collegiate events of future years The
Tigers may either appear at Poughkeep
sic, New London or at the Amer lean
Henley, but it is not likely that the
Princeton oarsmen will enter into any
other collegiate contests this season.
Spring training will begin there shortly.
Rowing was taken up at the New Jer-
sey institution early in the eighties, and
the first few appearances which Princeton
made in college rowing circles brought
gratifying results to the followers of the
Orange and Black, but accommodate tons
were not adequate for training, and inter-
est in the sport died out. The flooding
of a section of land and the creation of
Carnegie lake awoke a dormant enthusi-
asm, which has materialized in the fixing
of date for a Princeton-Nayal Academy
race.
incidentally. the Navy crew schedule is
as follows: April 30, Princeton; May I,
Columbia, May 1f, Georgetown George
town varsity and freshman, against
Naval Academy first crew and fourth
class crew.: May u, Syracuse Other
races will be arranged for the second
crew and fourth class crew of the acad-
envy.

HARDEST TASK THAT

CLEVELAND. Ohio. January 29--More

shifting of players would meet with the
approval of a majority of the supporters
of the game.
loss to understand why so few trades
are made by the major league clubs
It is a fact that the exchange of play
ers is getting less each year.
II the securing of star players by
trade or sale is impossible. the dia-
mond enthusiast relishes next best a
change OF faces. If a winner is irnpossi-
bic, the fan would much prefer going out
and see new players lose than watching
the regulars take their usual beating day
after day.
Connie Mack is, perhaps, the great
psf exponent of the theory. If you can't
give the fans a winner, at least give
them a chance TO see new faces. In
1905 it was early evident to Mack that
his team had no chance to figure in the
race. He at once began to change the
lineup almost daily, giving this or that
Toungster a chance to show if he had
r.ough real ability to merit a thorough
try out in the majors.
Although the Philadelphia fans were

sting was somewhat lessened by seeing

why do not the local club owners dis

Perhaps the best reason that could pos

and sales Is the fact that every club

denL tndt ne mas got the WORST OF Tue
transaction.
Several years ago Jimmy McAleer and
Clarke Griffith pulled off several deals.
and the consensus of opinion was that
McAleer got all the better of the argu-
ment. So sore was Griffith over the out
come of the deals that he never after
would even consider McAleer in trad
ing proposition. One day last summer
McAleer was discussing one of his trades
with Griffith and remarked:
why, If l had Lajoie, Wagner and
Cobb on my team and rushed into Crit
fith's office and offered to trade him
those three wonderful players for two
unknown youngsters and a little cash to
boot l would be willing to wager that
Griff would ask for time to consider the
proposition. He regards any players l
offer for sale or trade with such sus-
picion that before putting a deal through
for the three stars mentioned he would,
III all probability, telephone to the homes
of the players in question to be sure
they had not been killed or dropped
dead"
Take the Cleveland club. for instance.
Had Manager Lajoie offered Bradley,
Clarke, Flick, Turner, Joss or Lajoi for
sale five or six years ago many clubs
would have jumped at the proposition
and paid almost any price within reason

put on the market tomorrow it's a GER

Zach year, though. the club failed to de-
liver with monotonous regularity. In those
days club owners feared to sell or trade
men of ability to the Maps, thinking such
action might tend to make a runaway
race of the campaign. Evidently ma
jority of the club owners still have the
same opinion of the Maps, despite repeat
ed reverses for Manager Mcclure seems
more than up against it in making trades
If he ultimately fails in his efforts, it
is possible Mcclure will try the Connie
Mack plan of giving new faces regardless
