Office had proved unaVailing, and that
probably there will be no team. There
are many good players among the cler-
ical force, but most of the good ones
have other irons in the fire, and are plan
ming to play in other leagues.
No one would be any more pleased than
the writer to see the league get to-
gether again, but the situation is not en-
couraging and there is no use making
any bones about it. For some time the
league has been in shaky condition
and efforts have been made to cover the
fact up.
The publication of the true facts in
The Washington Hefald woke up the
officials, and they have redoubled their
efforts to reorganize. Whether there is

the outlook is far from rosy-The Wash

HIGHLANDERS HAVE
BRISK WORKOUT
Manager Chase Has Signed
Contract of BrOckett.

Hot Springs, Va, March THE High
landers had a brisk time of it to-day
and were on the go pretty much all the
time, Notwithstanding that snow was
everywhere. The snowfall was so heavy
that it is proving a tougher job for the
celestial street cleaner than was antici-
pated, but the sun provided a day of
warmth, and with diversity OF heat and
the few amusements, the Highlanders
had a good day of it
Harry Wolter, the right fielder, got in
from California, after being on the rail
six days.
Chase this morning issued the pithy
statement that he had received the
signed contract or Louis Brockett. the
pitcher who was with the Highlanders
season before last, but who didn't come
to terms last spring, and therefor had
been out of the game for a year. He
has been on his farm during that time
and probably is in good physical con-
dition- BroCkett was usually effective
against the Athletics. One of his help
full assets as a ball player is that he is
a good fielder of his position and a good
batter.
Those players who didn't timber up
their arms by throwing to-day took
walks, and some did both. All day long
somebody was on the cinder paths
throwing. Hemphill, one of the hardest
workers on the club, walked ten miles
before breakfast, following it by catch
ing for Jim Vaughn, and was out again
in the afternoon throwing. Knight threw
the ball and played squash for an hour.
Four of the Athletics played handbal
in the squash court Fisher, Daniels,
Warhop, Caldwell. Quinn, and Vaughn
threw the ball around.
Chase. Sweeney. and Ford went a few
miles through the slushy roads. A game
between Chase's Braves and the CallOw
Athletes is on for next Monday, as Chase
has accepted the challenge.

 A large 50 cent box of MONA stomach tablets is all you need to get quick and lasting relief. AndeTs Jacobsen guarantees them.
 Mrs. Attic Etson, of ga Dun Road. Battle Greek, Mich, used MI O MA and within two months was in as good health as ever, and has a good stroug stomach, and eats anything she likes. She attributes her good health to MI GINA.

Farmhouses Are Built of Turf and
 Often Have Earthen Floors.
 The guest room in the Iceland furm- house contained narrow bed. big round table and an organ made in Brattleboro, Vt. Our host produced the usual box of snuff and with ii d box of good cigars.
 The host and hostess then showed us all over the house. It is a turf structure and is typical of the older farmhouses. with narrow dark. win dowless corridors winding in laby- rinthian maze from room to room. One passageway leads to a large open mound where a fire is made to smoke meat and fish and incidentally the whole house and everything in it. An other passage leads to another kitchen with a modern stove. The walls are all of turf. as is the roof, with just enough driftwood in the roof to make a framework to hold it in place. Very steep stairs lead up to the badstofa, or sleeping apartment. The badstofa frequently forms the sitting and com mon wOrkroom of the family, espe- cially in winter. as well as the sleeping room of the entire household.
 Bunks built into the wall extend around the room and are often filled with seaweed or feathers, over which is thrown a fold or two of wadmal and a thick coverlet of eiderdown. The floors are sometimes covered with boards. but more often consist of damp earth From the ceiling are suspended numerous articles of domestic econ omy. while large chests containing clothing and valuables are scattered throughout the house.-Springfeld Re Onh1ioan
