on here in a few days and will give McCann the best he has. Joe is sat 1shed, so he states, that he was way in the wrong, when he applied to the National Commission and then ap- back pay from the local club. He did not realize it when he first made his kick, but has been made certain by all the decisions against him. Kus- tus adds that he is in the best of health and feels that he can deliver the goods. McCann states that with Kustus in his right health, that he will surely grab berth with the club.
 With Kustus here there will be seven outfieIders with the club, Ladd, Eley, Snyder, Kasperak, Sweeney and Clark everyone of whom looks good. It will be a hard job for Manager Mo Cam to pick the best three out of this likely bunch
 Manager McCann has issued orders to all the players that they keep away from the moving picture houses. He says the f1ickerings of the light on the white sheet has a bad effect on the batting eye. Most of the players were on before the manager dropped the word, and did keep away.
 Pitcher L. A. Trettor who has been thawing out with the Pirates in Hot Springs. has been farmed out to the Holyoke club. Trettor was drafted last fall from the Quincy club of the Central Association. Last season he won 28 out of fl games.
 Before you pick your pennant win ners, look to the squad Manager Jack Zellar of the Ponies has corralled. The Pony Regulars in their first work out of the season on Monday at As bury Park whitewashed the Seconds 40. Best of all, though, the summary shows an errorless contest.

JUDGE MATHEWSON
 OUT AS IT STANDS

New Haven, April 5-There has been an interesting discovery made here which bears entertainingly on the pending judgeship controversy. It has been observed that the Constitu- tion in Article XIX, adopted October 1876, specially provides that Judges of the city courts and police courts shall be appointed for two years There's nothing about holding ovez until their successors are chosen. Ii follows that Judge Mathewson's tern expired April 1, and there is now nc judge of this court.

Here Are Some Local
 Lads Seeking a Fight

Young Dorando of the Mohican A. C., is anxious again to meet Dick Miller of this city, and believes that this time Miller will not have the ad- vantage. Miller and Dorando mixed it up for four rounds a week ago with Miller slightly shading his opponent. Then Miller had it on Dorando about five pounds. At 143 pounds Dorando is confident that he will be the vic tor.
 Happy Jack Carroll of the Young Emmets is anxious to meet Dick Mill Ter or any other asprant for honors in the 142 pound class, at any time Carroll relates that in his experience he has met defeat on but one occasion that two years ago when Davy Ryan, then in his prime, he says, gave him a good facing. Carroll now claims that he is coming back stronger than ever, and is confident that he carries a slumber in every wallop

YALE WILL ROW HARVARD AT NEW
 LONDON, JUNE 30

Yale and Harvard have finally agreed to row their annual rowing regatta at New London, Friday, June 30 The Varsity eight-oared race will be rowed down stream at p. m., or whereabouts, and the freshmen eights stream in the morning. The crew managers of both universities have been in correspondence all Winter over date. and that they have agreed to row on June 30 seems to be the result of Harvard's flat refusal to consider any other dates than June @ and the date chosen.
 Last year Yale arranged it's com mencement a week earlier than usual and the result was that the boat race, being rowed at the end of the month, was witnessed by few of the old Yale men. even though they had come from a distance for commencement. This year Yale wanted to have the race rowed earlier, June 9 or A. but Har- ward would not agree to this, as the Cambridge oarsmen have examIna- tions at their quarters as late as the first of these dates.
 A few months ago Yale suggested that the race be rowed July 1, but this suggestion was immediately with drawn apparently being mistake. Matters dragged along all Winter and there seemed no way out of it until Harvard sent word that it's crew could not row at all unless either June 29 or 30 was selected as the date for the regatta
 There is still a bit of discussion re- garding Harvard and Yale baseball dates. The teams have agreed to play at New Haven on June 20 and at Cambridge on June g. The first date suits. but the second falls on Har- wards class day, and the Cambridge
 
 agement to have the date changed. Yale, however, is not expected to be willing to make a change. having con- ceded the boat race to Harvard.

THE PRIMARY


Tuesdays primary election, with
all Of its fuss and expense, was a
farce. True, we finally succeeded
in getting one ticket in the field ,
but the same result might have
been arrived at in one.tenth of the
time, and without any cost, through
the good old medium of a caucus;
and everybody would have been
just as we'll satisfied. The difficulty
seems to be in getting good men to
file for the nominations. Under
the old convention >ystem, when a
man was put in nomination by his
fellows and urgedto serve, he would
accept. just to show his public spirit
edness. But it takes a real patriot
to cold bloodedly plank down a
perfectly good dollar and ask the
people to elect him to an Office
which pays in nothing but grief.

THAT SATURDAY HOP

The dance given last Saturday
night in the Pavilion by Prof. Nc
MINI, ct al, was a disgrace to the
community, and one which should
not be allowed to be repeated. If
the style of dancing that was used
during the evening was the one that
the Prof." teaches he should not be
allowed to operate within the city
limits. Strict police supervision is
the least that can be asked. One of
two things must be done, either see
that the Grizzly Bear" the "Tur-
key Trot" and the "Angle Worm
Wiggle" are stopped at these Satur-
day night affairs, or close them en-
tirely.

CONCERNING FREE ADVICE

In common with all other towns,
Kennewick is blessed(?) with a
number of near-statesman who, to
hear them tell it, know jest exactly
how this here town orter be ran. If
the mayor, or the council, or the
attorney or the engineer does a thing
one way, these Wisenheimers are
dead sure to be around early next
morning explaining how they would
have done it had they been on the
job. Yet you couldn't shoot one
of them into councilman's chair
with a sixteen-inch cannon. There
ought to be some way invented
whereby these knowitalls could be
grabbed and made to serve the city
for term or two. Then if they
didn't do a good job once they we're
in office, they should be taken out
in the alley and given three swift
kicks. properly placed, every time
they made bum move. A year or
so with these fellows running things
would accomplish one of two re-
suits. Either this city would be
transformed into a paradise or we
would be freed forever of this eternal
long-distance advice as to how city
affairs should be handled.

ONE REASON FOOD Is HIGH

We usually think of Ohio as an
agricultural state rather than a
commonwealth made up mostly of
city population, yet recent census
report prepared by VIM. Hunt,
shows $50 per cent of the inhabit-
ants to be dwelling in cities of
$500 inhabitants or more, and IA. 1
per cent in rural territory. The
census bureau treats as rural all
territory except cities of $500 or
more. The population of Ohio in
1910 was 4.767, 121, a gain of 6O9-,
576 or 14.7 per cent over 1900.
From 1900 to 1910 there was a
marked drift to the cities. In the
former year the urban population
was 49, per cent OF the total while
in 1910 it had grown to $50.
Heretofore, the bearing of the
rapid growth of city population on
cost of living has more than once
been referred to. It is we'll not to
lose sight of this cause. for it is un-
doubtedly an important one. Many
of US are prone to believe that the
government is responsible for condi-
tons over which, as matter OF
fact, it has little or no control. OF
course, the price of food will be
high with 80 many mouths to feed
that are not employed in producing
food.
Over one-half the people of Ohio
live in cities of 2, 500 or over, though
Ohio is known as an agricultural
state. When we consider the num-
Der of persons engaged in food pro-
duction, we ought to include in
corporated places of less than $500.
In Ohio there are 664 incorporated
towns or villages of less than $500
with total population of 452 900,
or 9.5 per cent of the total popula-
ton of the state. The population
of Ohio not in incorporated terri
tory is but 1,649,94S, or 34.6 pei
cent of the total.
So only little more than one
third the inhabitants are employed
in raising crops and livestock.
Naturally the other two. thirds must
pay we'll for what they eat.
Rural population decreased 1.3
per cent in 10 years, while the ur-
ban increased more than 80. Not
as many persons tilling the soil as
10 years ago and 80 per cent more
to eat what is grown. Under such
conditions why Shouldn't the cost
Of food 60 up?

be just thirteen feet higher than it's
nearest rival, the Singer building. The
location of the new structure, which is
to be known as the WoOlworth build
ing, is the southwest corner of Broad
way and Park place. The ground upon
which it viii stand was acquired at a
cost of 100000, and it is estimated
that the building itself will cost ap-
proxfmately $5,0O0,00O.
Like many of the more modern sky
scrapers in New York, the Woolworth
building will seek to apply old recog-
nized forms of architecture to new con-
ditions The architect has discarded
the familiar renaissance type and will
treat the facade in Gothic. He be-
lieves he has worked out design that
will stand as an example of the archi-
tectural possibilities in lofty steel con-
struction. In order to support the ire
mendous weight of forty-fiye stories it
will be necessary to carry the founda-
tions down to bedrock, a depth Of prob
ably 100 feet below the street.
Among other things. the plan calls
for large swimming pool in the base
ment, and it is likely that there will
also be a gymnasium.
