Physical Department Popular at
Union Station Y. NJ. c. A.
Last October the Terminal Railroad Y.
Nj. c. A, situated in the east wing of the
Union Station, added a physical depart
ment to the other branches of its work
The need for physical work among the
men had been felt for some time, so the
large, airy gymnasium IN the west wing
of the station was furnished with new
apparatus parallel bars, horizontal bars,
travelling rings. chest weights. flying
rings, punching bags, &c. A physical
director was engaged and classes started.
The interest shown by the men has
steadily increased. The classes, ayerag-
ing but two or three at first, have so
increased that the attendance at classes
win average between eight and ten, while
the weekly use of the gymnasium will
total between % and 100
Beside the regular classes, individual
classes are held at times made con-
venient for the men. During the coming
spring months the various baseball teams
will find the gymnasium a convenient
place to prepare for the seasons work

Jim Corbett's Busy Night.
On February 16. 1892. Jim Corbett cele-
brated his Eastern trip by winning from
Bill Spillings in one round. from Bob
Caffrey in one round, and then fighting a
three-round no-decision bout with Joe
Iannon in New York City. Prior to this
time nearly all of Corbett's work had
been done in the West. He had given
an exhibition with Mike Donovan in New
York in 1899, but that was his only fight
OF record east of Chicago before this
date. This is also Of interest, as he had
no fight of record between this date and
that of September 7, of the same year,
when he defeated John l.. Sullivan in
New Orleans.
19O2-Tommy Ryan won from Jack
Beauscholte in six rounds at Chicago.
1SO-Jack Johnson fought six rounds, no
decision, with Black Bill at Philadelphia.
19O6-Danny Webster lost to Jimmie
Davis in four rounds at San Bernardino.
Willie Lewis fought three rounds. no
decision, with Amby McGarry in New
York.
1907-Young Josephs Won from Arthur
Warner in six rounds in London, Eng
land.

son in nine rounds in Nederland, Cal
Young Otto knocked out Young
Loughery in one round in Philadelphia.

in twelve rounds in Boston.
Jimmy Clabby won from Dick FftZ-
patrick in ten rounds at Hammond, Ind.

ball scientists, in their researches. have
failed to mention the originator of the
pitchers toe plate. While with the Prov
idence team in 1852 one of Richmond
team mates was Jerry Denny, an in
fielder, whose real trade was that OF
plumber and metal worker. At that time
pitchers wore toe plates Of leather Whlch
were of not much advantage. Ihen tne
inventive genius of aforementioned Denny
came to the fore and he constructed
toe plate of brass fitted and attached
il to Radbourne's shoe, the famous hurler
being at that time with Providence. and
thus was the first brass toe plate brought
into use.

Arthur Irwin says:
Austin can never learn to hit. 1t isn't
in him. He is a fast man. but he isn't
there with the punch. More than thirty
men were left on third base last year by
Austin's failure to make pinch hits. New
York fans have seen enough of him TO
know that he couldn't be expected TO
our team this year. He never
showed US any first-class batting. and We
can't go ahead experimenting. Hartzell
is better batsman. He had slump last
season. but you must remember that he
was playing on a joke ball club. Two |
years ago he had a fine batting average. |

TRIP TO CAVE CREEK
A SUNDAY JAUNI
RANGES are Green and EnliVened by
Flowers-Stock Interests are
Flourishing.

Ed Rudolph gave one of his Ford
auto cars a try-out on the Cave
Creek road last Sunday that must
have been quite satisfactory. judg-
ing by the pleased stories of his pas
sengers. 1t was a sort of picnic
party composed of Mr.. and Mrs. Wall
ter Hinson and boy. Miss Gertrude
Morris and Miss Minnie Standard.
The objective point was the ranch
of Logan Morris, a brother-in-law of
Mr.. Hinson. IL is just across Cave
creek from the Phoenix mine and was
formerly known as the Widmer ranch.
The party stopped at the ranch and
had a fine dinner or luncheon, then
crossed the creek and took a stroll
through the historic old mine. Next
they went to Cave Creek station
which is now a busy place with about
twenty-five men engaged in shearing
sheep. The trip home was made in
less than two hours.
The ranges are looking fine these
days with grass six inches high al
most everywhere and the cattle revel-
ing in IT, Mr.. Morris, who is in
terested with Jim Gibson, never felt
better or had a finer prospect in the
stock business and is doing much to
improve the grade of his cattle, hav-
ing just bought twenty-five head of
thoroughbred white face bulls and
sent them to the hill country.

New York, Feb. 21.-Most of the ia

busily with the securities of the Gould
roads that they gave little attention
to the remainder of the list.
Indications of recent accumulations
of the Gould securities by strong in
terests attracted a large speculative
following. and when the market
opened the buying of these stocks and
bonds which sent them up sharply
toward the close of yesterdays ses-
sion was resumed These securities
made substantial gains today.
In spite of the largest gross earn

although price changes are unimport-

AN AV0CAT|0N, TOO

In order to be well balanced ii is
necessary for a person to have a vo-
cation-a calling that supplies the ma
terial wants and one that provides for
the necessities of that other end lit
tie comprehended side Of our natures.
Men understand this better than
women and usually provide themselves;
with both vocation and an avocation.
The man who spends long hours over
the bench, in store, in counting room
or at some form of exacting brain
work, as a rule has some other inter:
est-sOme side isSue"-to which he
gives his spare time and in which he
finds a particular pleasure. Because
of this double interest in life. he lasts
longer. gets more enjoyment out of
life, is able to do more and better
work and becomes a more rounded
and as ii We're, a more complete man.
Women as a rule are not so
thoughtful of themselves. IL they are
tied to homework. they stay tied and
refuse to have fad of any sort for
fear some of their neighbors or friends
will not think they are rs careful
housekeepers as they should be. Other
women have other reasons, and about
as various as the women themselves.
The business or professional woman
does one of two things; she either
spends her idle time moping around
the house, flopped down on a couch
in an old wrapper, or she has some
trying homework TO do-work that is
thoroughly distasteful to her and
which she does under compulsion.
An avocation must provide rest Ct
one kind or another, and should be
very different in its nature from the
regular work of ones life. In fact
il should be the. very opposite. II
one is engaged in a calling depending
entirely on brain work. then he or
she should turn to mechanics OF
some kind. Anything that changes
the trend of thought and gives exer-
wise to a different set of muscles and
nerves. Therefore, the avocation must
appeal to ans. 1t must be something
we like to do. And there is an almost
endless variety of these things. One
doesn't need to look very hard, for
ones inclination will indicate just
the proper thing.
In this way we find rest. Though
we work just as hard as we do at our
regular calling, there is no fatigue be-
cause there is lacking the sense OF
compulsion. Our surplus energy is
being used up without taxing either

The Extra Session.

The most that a filibuster against
reciprocity can accomplish at this ses-
sion of congress will be a slight DELAY
in carrying the presidents policy into
effect The country is with Mr.. Taft
and the new congress will be more i'm
harmony with him.
Tariff legislation will. however. go
far beyond the Canadian reciprocity
program when the new congress meets.

who is to be the chairman of the
committee on ways and means in the
new house-and therefore in charge of
the democratic program as to the tar
iff-announces that d general revision
of the Payne Aldrich law will be I'M
dertaken whenever congress meets
But Mr.. Underwood's announcement
will not deter the president from call
ing the extra session. Indeed, there
are strong reasons why an extra ses-
sion should be called. aside from the
question of reciprocity. Since it is
the purpose of the democrats to try
to force tariff revision. the sooner the
question is taken up and disposed of
the better it will be for the business
of the country. Tariff discussion and
legislation invariably unsettle bust
ness throughout the country. The
democratic victory at the last cleo
ton. with its promise of tariff re-
vision, has disturbed business quite
generally. and manufacturers will pro-
coed cautiously until the outcome is
known. 1t would be much better,
from every standpoint. to have a ses-
sion of congress this spring which
will fully develop the democratic pol
icy, than TO wait in suspense until
next winter.
