changed by the various coaches. Incl
dentally this is the first year Syracuse

remarked. They seem to be going some.

strong from the shore he concluded.
The Cornell freshmen crew appears to
be an unsettled combination. Courtney
took four of the eight-oared crew out in
four-oared shell yesterday and gave
them nearly all of his attention. He said
that the eight-oared shell would not be
definitely seated until next week.
The Pennsylvania coach. Ellis Ward. is
letting his men get acquainted with their
new stroke, Hoagland, before sending
them over the course. They had stiff
practice row last evening, but the stroke
was at no time high and Ward did con-
siderable coaching on blade and body
work.
Wisconsin had a four-mile trial last
evening with a lively brush between the
varsity and freshmen. The young Badgers
started with lead Of two lengths, which
the varsity reduced to length and a half
in the two-mile contest. Samp No. >, was
still out of the varsity eight on account
Of an infected hand

Woodland VS.. Silver Spring.
White Haven had little trouble in dis
posing of Braddock yesterday, 10 to /.
The contest was most interesting until
the eight inning. when the Braddock in
field went to pieces and allowed four runs
to score without the aid of a hit.
Binsted went the route for White Haven
and was never in serious trouble. He
hits, and but one Of these came when a
hit meant run.
White Haven upheld Binsted in fault
less form until the ninth. when two errors
were made in succession. Nothing came
of them. however as a force play and a
good catch by Howard in left field ended
the game.
Braddock. usually the best base run
ners OF any Of the teams. was far off in
that department yesterday. Three double
plays were made against them and in
every case bad coaching and head work
was the cause.
The most notable feature of the game
was by far the fielding of Remsblrg,
Braddock's second baseman. Remsburg
handled six assists and two put-outs
Withou. q semblance OF an error, several
of his stops being Of the sensational
order. and figured in both Of his team s
double plays.
Carroll and c. Fletcher. both of White
Haven. were the leading stick artists Of
the day, each man slamming out two
clean-cut drives. Carroll hit to right for
a double, while Fletcher drove the ball
far over the fence in left for a triple
Martin OF v hite Haven also connected
for a triple with two on.
Second Baseman Remsburg led his team
with the bat. getting two singles out OF
three times up.

st. Stephens vs. Indians.

Tenleytown proved to be a little sur
prise package in the Marquette League
yesterday afternoon, and after the final
round of the ninth inning had been
played it was found that the Suburban
ties had scored thirteen runs, while the
Cadets had only put ten across. Both
teams hit the ball hard, and errors were
numerous on the part of the Corcoran
players, nine Of them being made.
W. Donaldson was on the mound for
the winners, and he was touched up at
a lively rate throughout the game. six
teen bingles being made off his delivery.
1t was due mostly to the batting of his
teammates and the poor fielding of the
Corcorans that he was enabled to win.
Collihower and Leishear were on the
firing line for the Cadets. and thirteen
hits were made off their deliveries, Col
liflower giving an even dozen.
r Russo. left fielder Of the Cadet
team, was hit in the eye by a pitched
ball not long ago, but he has evidently
recovered his sight, because in yeSter-
days game, out of FIVE trips to the pan.
he cracked out four healthy bingles, one
of them double.
Two fast double plays were made by
the Suburbanites. and both Of them made
by the same men, w. Donaldson, Stadler
and B. Donaldson figuring in both OF
them.

day on the White Lot Ellpse by the score

pitchers worked hard and pitched good
ball. Salb having little on his oppo-

king and father of American trusts
in his third letter ON the railroad prob

Barber who has been fighting high

that the government take over all the
railroads by issuing two per cent.
government bond for all railroad
securities.
His statement, in part says
"a fair and just solution of the
railway situation now confronting the
American people would be to CONSOLE
date into one system all Of the rail
roads of the country, capitalize them
at their present value, and give
their stockholders and bondholders
exact justice even to the
price for their holdings. Pro-
vision should be made against this
capitalization ever being increased,
and the rate of annual dividends
should be fixed at not to exceed three
per cent. guaranteed by the govern
ment, which would issue bonds in
taking up all stocks and outstanding
railroad securities.
"These bonds would be perpetual
and, principal and interest being
guaranteed by the government, would
speedily be valued at considerably
above par, thus increasing the re-
turns to the present stock and bond
holders. They would be issued in popu
lar denominations from $25 up. Great

would be within easy reach yet abso'

can ideal investment would be az

bonds would be entirely safe, as re
munerative as deposits in the average
