DANvILLE, VA. April 6.-Continu-
Gus rains since Monday morning have
prevented the playing of the three
games scheduled with big league
teams. The Boston National, Phila-
delphia Athletics and Brooklyns teams
cana here successfully, only to spend
the day a. their hotel. The prospects
are not bright for a game with the
Toronto Eastern Leaguers this after
noon.
Thus far the champions who re-
ported ten days ago. have not had
single exhibition game. but have been
practising at the park when the
weather permitted and on rainy days in
warehouses. While only Manager and
Catcher Laughlin. Catcher Harry Smith
and Pitcher Ray Mullenex, of the 1910
team have yet reported, the new ma
terfal has made an excellent impress
sion. The pitching staff is especially
strong with Mullenex, Brady. Eastman,
Boland. Krause and one other man,

been notified by wire by Manager
Laughlin that unless they report here
in few days they VIII be fined $50

the season. They are expected to re-
port before the season opens.
OF tn new material, c. Ray Morgan,
at short, r. H. Morgan at second and
outfieiders Bremen and Irwin have at
traoted favorable attention. First base
and third are the only weak points,
apparently. and with CASTOR and
Echrader reporting the team may be
about made up. Snyder at third is
counted upon TO make a good Show
ing, though he is not we'll just now.
None Of the men has had a chance to
show what he can do with the bat
against strong pitchers, but most Of
them handle themselves like experience
ed batsmen. On the base-paths the
men generally promise to be fast.
Outfeder Alexander has never re-
ported yet. In the event CASTOR re-
ports he may be played in the outfeId
this year.

NEW YORK. April ct became
known here Thursday that because
of the success OF American Rhodes
scholars in sports at Oxford, there
are quietly under way plans for
barring the Yankees from athletics
at the English University. 1t Is no
secret that the success of the Ameri-
cans has been highly distasteful to
the British Oxonians for a long time
who now take the stand that the
Americans are supposed to be at Ok
ford to study and not to cop all the
sport laurels.

proportion of the users of cars
have no real realization Of what an

it is all engine of destruction, a

One day Ned and his mother
started out for a walk. There
were great many lovely and in
teresting things to see, and Ned
skipped along, sometimes holding
his mothers hand, and again run
nlng hlther and thither chasing a
butterfly or trying to catch a
grasshopper. 1t happened that
the farm where Ned was staying
was not far fro ma small river, SO
they walked along it's bank and
saw the little fishes playing around
IN the water. Ned was much inter-
ested in throwing sticks and stones
in the water, watching the ripples
spreading wide and ever wider.
10 the right was a large field
oh, look, motherv' cried Ned in
great excitement; what were
those little creatures running in
the field? They have gone now,
and | cannot see them They
watched intently and soon saw two
little brown rabbits run across the
field and disappear in a hole in the
ground. Ned's mother told him
that that was where the little rab-
bits lived, and that they were wild
rabbits and very shy.
By and by they passed mill.
Ned saw an immense wheel going
around slowly yith the water flow
ing over it. His mother told him
it was an oldfashioned mill wheel.
The water flowing over the wheel
makes it turn, and the wheel in
turn starts the machinery that the
miller uses to grind his wheat into
-four. The -four is putinto large
| barrels and s,ld to the stores in
the cities. People buy this anc
make it into bread. Corn is also
| ground into mea! in the big mill,
said Ned's mother. Don't yot
remember the little story that
have told you-
Blow, wind, blow,
Go, mill, go,
That the miller may grind his corr
That the baker may take it,
| And into bread make it,
And bring us some rolls in tn,
| morn
| Ned was very much interested
in hearing about this. H. though
there were great many Lowell
things to learn about in this world
and walked along wishing he coult
see something more. Mother tolt
him to keep his eyes open, as tina
was the only way not to miss see
ing things.
/ Presently they passed a littl
country church with tall steepl
on it. 1t was nesting back among
the trees. Beyond that they cross
ed over a bridge, and sat down tt
rest on the other side by the litti
stream. Ned was using his eye
with all his might, and he sool
spied little sparrow's nest among
