Yale Picks Track Team
For Indoor Games Here

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Feb. 6.-Capt.
Johnny Fitzpatrick of the Yale track
team, said that he had practically set
tied on the makeup of. the squad which
will be sent into the indoor meets of the
season that Yale will enter.
These include the Boston Athletic
Club games next Saturday, the New
York Athletic Club meet February IS,
and the Georgetown University meet in
March. Yale will send a relay team to
Boston to meet Harvard and the same
team to Georgetown to race Princeton.
Indications are that this team will be
composed as, follows: Samuel May, w.
F. Kaynor, c. A. Seymour, Orrin II.
Tilson, and n. H. Read. Which of the
five will be sent to the tape will not be
decided till late in the week.
Read is the fastest man in the lot.
Tilson has been appointed captain of the
team. Tuttle, Connolly, and Boyd are
still members of the team as substi-
tutes, but the quartet which will race
at Boston will almost certainly be
picked from the other five. For sprint
ers Yale will send to Boston Frank
Reilly, w. r. Wheeler, c. w. Bleistein,
and T. F. Rudell.

CAPITAL ATHLETES

Three Squads Besides One
From Alexandra Already
Entered for Meet.

GEORGETOWN, Catholic University,

trail Y. NJ. C. A., Central High School,
and Western High School of Washington,
and Episcopal High School of Alexan-

the Fifth Regiment-Johns Hopkins track
meet at Baltimore next Saturday night.
In order to accommodate other Capital
City squads that are anxious to enter
but have been tardy in sending in their
lists the time Of entry has been extend
ed until tomorrow.
The fact that the Carlisle Indians have
entered fifteen individual men and a re-
lay team, is excellent news to all inter-
ested in the meet. 1t will be remembered
that the Carlisle four ran a beautiful
two-miIey relay last year in defeating
the University of Pennsylvania.
For some time the Pennsylvanians
have been trying to get back at the
red men. Whether they will be given a
chance next Saturday and return race
arranged between the two teams, has
not vet been settled. The committee has
thought this over seriously, being fully
aware of what an attraction this race
would be.
One Of the most striking features of
the meet VIII be the NUMBER ana CalDer
of the many relays. The meet will con-
tain mere relay races than ever before,
and many, OF them promise to be hair
raisers. A great number of the relays
are of the preparatory school class. AL
ready some fifteen or twenty local and
out-of-town secondary schools have en-
tered, some having three or four teams.
The list of events is favorable to the
Johns Hopkins institution. There are
few field events, and It is along this line
that the Hopkins team is weakest
The list Of events follows:
Open events-1o0-yard (handicap).

Directors of Washington
Club Will Consider I'M

MANY TEAMS BID
FOR BOB UNGLAUB
Dartmouth and Yale Want to OBJ
tain Use of Nationals
Ball Grounds.
BY THOMAS KIRBY.

President Tom Noyes today called
meeting of the directors of the Wash
ington ball club for tomorrow, when
business of vital importance to the
Nationals will come up for discussion.
The principal topic will be the ques-
ton of improvements at the park. The
announcement that it has already been
decided to build cement bleachers and
center-field fence, was a bit premature,
according to the head of the club. No
such decision has yet been reached and
there appears to be a division of opinion
among the directors as to whether par
tial improvements of a permanent ma
ture should be made now or the whole
work of rebuilding the plant should be
done at once.
The suggestion has been advanced
that the present bleachers should be
covered and used as a pavilion. This
would neceSsitate the erection of new
uncovered stands extending from the
present center-field fence to the building
line on Fifth street. If this is done the
bleacher entrance will be on Fifth
street, leaving the lane to Seventh
street for the exclusive use of persons
who use the grandstand and pavilions
President NCyes is especially anxious
TO make such changes in the general
scheme of the park as will aftJ ID bet
ter approach for the grandstand One
plan is to dc away with tn, present
incline and have one more direct from
the entrance to the near angle of the
stand.
inother subject which the directors
will consider will be that of a business
manager of the training trip. Willie
Fowler is so busily engaged here that
he may be unable to go to Atlanta, and
unless he should be able 20 make ar
rangements for the trip, some one else
will be chosen in order that Jimmy Nc
Aleer may devote his whole time to the
players development. instead of being
worried by the gate and hotel accommo-
dations.

Bidding for Unglaub.

since 1t was announced that Bob
Cnglaub will be disposed of there has
been no end of offers from minor league
clubs for the first baseman.
Because of the liberal inducements
offered by Lincoln, Neb., Unglaub is
said to be especially anxious to assume
charge of that club. but the question
will not be settled until President
Noyes has had an opportunity to confer
with Jimmy McAleer at the schedule
meeting of the American League in Chi
cago one week from tomorrow.
President Stein. of the Buffalo club,
OF the Eastern League, was here YES

Stagg being criticised.

l would judge from the severe ar
raisnment of the athletic policy of tho
University of Chicago, meted out by the
student publication. that Coach Stagg
is no longer any too strong with the
Midway undergraduates and alumni.
1t is seldom that a college daily will
be so unsparing in criticising it's own
institution. and, as the whole thing ap-
pears to be aimed at the coaches, it
looks like It's up to Stagg to make a.
pretty vigorous defense of his methods
OF placing so much Importance on ath-
letics in an educational institution.
II Chicago should displace Stagg,
Michigan would have a far better op-
portunity Of re-entering the Western

From what Secretary Herring told me
at Convention Hall. Washington's con-
tingent at Baltimore will be the larg-
est that has ever left to compete in

In order to accommodate those who
have thus far failed to enter 1t has been

Hinrichs is better.

to rest all this year, in the hope that
he can come back in 1872.
Hinrichs was the protege of Walter

Jerry Freeman, the former Washing

dianapolis owners that he believes he Is
now in such good shape that he will not
be forced to go to Hot Springs as he

One of Freeman's greatest drawbacks
for the past three years has been his
weight, and if his winter work in the
gymnasium has reduced him sufficiently
he should have a good year in the
minors.
1t was at Minneapolis, before COM

An Investigation at New Haven has

adopted law as profession. but "a per

Use AZ ODD Lengths.

The investigation carried on last
year by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, cooperating with
lumber manufacturers In the South
to determine the saving that can be
Effected by using odd lengths OF lu1n-
Der as well as even, has begun to
bear fruit That Investigation showed
that a material saving was practie:
able, and at a recent meeting Of
southern lumber manufacturers as
ISOLATION the fact was brought out
that a beginning has been made in
putting the new plan into practice
and that an increase in the sale OF
odd lengths is anticipated for the
near future.
II was. formerly the custom, and
generally Is SO still, to sell lumber
in even lengths only. Waste re-
suited from cutting on the ends OF
odd lengths to make them even. A
considerable percentage of a saw
mills output Is defective. That is
boards have had knots, decayed spots
or split ends, and the defective parts
are cut out. To mGlke an even length
of what remains, it is often necessary
to cut of a foot OF good wood with
the bad, and it is wasted. The prac-
tice Of marketing odd lengths as we'll
as even is meant to lessen this waste.
The sale of odd lengths of lumber
will frequently lessen waste in the
woods also; for example, a log may
be cut fifteen feet long which, fol-
lowing the old custom, would be cut
only fourteen. and the extra foot
would be left in the woods.
The Introduction of odd lengths
meets with opposition from many
builders who are prejudiced in favor
OF even lengths simply because they
have never used any other kind.
Nevertheless, there are many places
in which odd lengths are more econ
omical than even ones-for instance
where nine foot studding is used. Fol
lowing former customs, the ends must
be cut from even lengths to make the
timbers 1T Some manufacturers OF
flooring successfully sell odd and
even lengths, thus lessening waste in
the woods, at the mill and in the
construction of buildings.
