OUR POPULATION


The Arkansas Gazette, with char
acteristic enterprise, recently sent
letter to each county judge in the
state asking his opinion as to the
causes for the increase or decline in
population of his county from 1900
to 1910. One Of the replies is pub
lished almost every day. In Tues
davis paper Judge Allen Gays reply
to the Gazettes question was pub
lished, as follows:
In my opinion the decrease in
the population of Sharp county
from 1900 to 1910 was caused by
bad roads and the oklahoma few
er."
Commenting on this editorially
the Gazette said:
Sharp decreased in population
during the decade, according to the
census figures. But Sharp can re-
cover from both the things that
all it, as expressed so Sententiously
by Judge Gay-bad roads and the
oklahoma fever" The fever will
cure itself-may have done so al
ready-but good febrifuee measure
would be the building of good roads.
Open your county to the world and
its resources and the opportunities
it offers will make it grow"
In the opinion of the Record, had
the census been taken only a few
years prior to 1910 Sharp county
would have shown a greater de-
crease in population. The "Oklaho-
ma Fever" took great many peo-
pie away from Sharp county, as
Judge Gay says, but there is no
doubt that the tide had turned back
and that this county gained rapidly
in population in the last few years
preceding 1910. In 1900 Sharp
county had 12,190 people in 1910
only 1893, loss OF 511.
There is not very much more to
fear from the oklahoma Fever"
The people generally are learning
the fallacy of contracting that dis
ease. Give us good roads, every
body pull together, and watch
Sharp countys smoke when the
next census figures are taken ten
years hence.

A letter from the Los Angeles Nest of Owls No. 12S6 was re- ceived by J $. Dye, financial sec retary of the Navajo Nest inform ing him that one of their mem bers, w. T. Palmer, was in the Santa Fe hospital at that place in a critical condition and that little or no hope of his recovery remained, and asking what the Navajo Nest wished to do re- garding the sick benefit which is $1O per week. MT. Dye immedi- ately telegraphed them to render every possible assistance to the sick brother and to the family, and send the bill to this Nest. An owl as a rule is not looked upon as much good to the coun- try but when 1t comes to the Or der of Owls they are always on the job and in cases of this kind are ever alert to any assistance that they can render to an afflict- ed brother.

ONE YEAR TODAY
M'CANN TOOK HOLD

This is the day, Feb. 2, we celebrate,
the arrival into our midst of H. Eu-
gene Mccain, as the purchaser Of the
franchise of the stock of the Bridge
port club in the Connecticut League of
Professional baseball clubs. Feb. 2,
1910, inaugurated a new era of base
ball in what was then known as the
third city of the State. The fact that
the city assumed the second position,
statewise in size, some even go so
far as to state, was because of the
placing of a real baseball club in the
town. Gene Mccain blew into town
that day with nice piece of change.
The team was sold outright and a
lease Of Newfield park obtained and
Gene was away again to. the big city.
But he was here long enough to let
the folks in on what he could do and
what he would do. His prediction is
now past history. Every word of his
prophecy has come true.
Gecc has been but one year with us,
but in time he has placed himself
solid with the baseball fraternity. To-
day he starts in the second year of
his regime. May his sovereignty be
even more so prosperous in his way
of looking at it, and the fans way of
taking it, as the Mechanics were last
season,

ayers, nevertheless is the veteran
member of the Hilltop combination,
now is on his way from San Jose to
New York, and will reach the big
city next Monday. prince Halls
presence in New York being needed
SO that he can sanction or turn down
several trade offers that have been
made by various magnates. When
Chase reaches New York and confers
with President Farrell, announcement
will be officially made as to whether
there is any chance of the Highland
ers obtaining Roy Hartzen from the
ST. Louis Browns and whether the
Browns will receive the opportunity
to acquire Frank Laporte and Jimmy
Austin, who are understood to be on
the market.
Any deals in which these players
figure will be made before the Hill
toppers hit the trail for the South,
st. Louis wants both Laporte and
Austin. and Chase is not at all averse
to seeing Hartzell become one of his
employees. Bob Hedges, owner of the
Browns, has offered Roy to the High
landerS and has asked that in return
President Farrell turn over to st.
Louis Jack Knight, Frank Laporte,
Earl Gardner or Jimmy Austin. There
is no possible chance of Hedges &C
curing Knight or Gardner, and it is
up to Chase to say whether he is
willing to let either Laporte or Aus
tin go.

CAMP LOOKS FOR
NO ALTERATIONS
Rules Need Only to Be Sim
plified, Yale Man Says
Rules Committee Will Let
Well Enough Alone.

Walter Camp has been appointed
by the Yale Athletic Committee to
represent the Blue, as usual, in the
annual sessions of the Football Rules
Committee this year. This is a job
Camp has had since the present gen.
eral rules of football were framed
in 1883, and he was neither taken by
surprise nor stage-Struck when he re-
ceived the announcement.
Camp has been chairman Of the
Rules Committee, and year after year
has compiled the code of the season,
after the rules makers had decided
what they wanted for rules, but had
not codified their intentions.
Camp discussed his ideas Of reform
not inclined to think that they should
be many or radical in their nature
Incidentally, that football trip
which Camp took last fall. covering
several thousand miles, including all
the Pacific slope, the Middle West
played in America, may be discussed
by the Rules Committee in New York
on Friday. Camp Is believed to have
gathered more facts about contem-
porary football on that trip than any
one else in the world has gathered,
and he is ready to place his informa-
ton before the Rules committee in
such quantities as it wishes.
Camp said last evening that he had
not prepared a formal report of the
trip, but that the facts he obtained
in the West might be referred to at
the coming session of the Rules Com
mittee.
81 see no need for making extern
sive changes in the rules" said Camp.
''The rules that were adopted last
year were complicated in some in
stances and they need to be simpli-
fed. I think that the Rules Commit
tee may act along those lines. Most
of the rules that were adopted a
year ago should stand. I think, and
I have heard of no movement look
ing toward radical changes.
"I heartily indorse the new rule
which forbids pushing or pulling by
the players. I am inclined to think
that this rule will not be altered ma
terially."
Camp said he had an idea that
members Of the committee had not
yet framed specific changes they fav-
ored, but would discuss the general
subject and later would take up the
matter of details of rule alterations,
should it be decided to make any
changes.

Within Ninety Minutes.

The Hackenschmidt-Z byszko wrest-
ling match has been clinched to take
place in New York and the date set.
These noted giants will face each
other for the first time, after years Of
wrangling, in Madison Square Gar
den on next Thursda ynight. The final
agreement for a meeting by the mad
ayers of the two men, Jack Curley
and Jack Herman, was brought about
yesterday after the exchange of many
kilograms. When Hackenschmidt Of
fered to throw Zbyszko three times
in two hours, Herman called atten-
ton to the fact that the Russian said
some time previously that he could
throw the Polish champion twice
within an hour, and also proclaimed
his Willingness to wrestle winner take
all, and also to make a side bet.
Curley, however, held out for his
original proposition, but finally a
compromise was reached and Hack
will undertake to put Zbyszko's
shoulders to the mat twice within an
hour and a half, the division of the
purse to be settled upon, and the
referee to be selected on the arrival
of the two men in New York the lat

No, would not give up the Stag Ho-

pays when nothing else is coming in.
If I could locate here, wouldn't care
whether I made so much on baseball
or not, but would run the team as a
pastime to keep my hand in the
game. But as things are now, it is
a great Inconvenience for me to leave
Holyoke at o'clock in the morning

me. That is the only reason why

Mr. O'Neil said he had nothing

Columbia Vets Capture
Indoor Tennis Honors

Taking advantage of every opening
and using the service as their chief
asset. Lyle E. Mahan and George c..
Schafer. the Columbia University vet
Grams. won the tennis doubles cham
pionship yesterday in New York.
In the final which bror yht the tour
nament to an end they defeated Gus
tave F. Touchard. the national indoor
champion who paired with DR.. Will
liam Rosenbaum. by the score rs.
40. g. 6t3. The match was play
ed under ideal conditions. The light
was perfect and throughout both pairs
were keyed up to the fastest pitch of
play. All the rallies were prolonged,
in many the-ball often crossing the net
twenty times or more.
The match began with each of the
four players carefully placing his
shots. There was an abundance of
speed. The service during the open
ing set proved the winning asset. The
games fell evenly to sail. DR.. Rosen-
baum served in the eleventh game and
han wide of the court in order to
make an opening for a pace, he double
faulted.
The error caused his service to be-
come uncertain. with the result that
BIZ raining a fusillade of volley and
court Mahan and Schafer scored
against service. With his own service
faroring him in the next game, Ma
han put plenty of sting into his work.
with the result that the old Columbia
pair scored the set at rs.
The second set was much like the
first the games following service to
4-all. Then it was Mahan who lost,
as Touchard managed to whip some
beautiful drives down the alleys for
the game. The national indoor cham
pfon followed with his service and
balanced the set score by winning at
ga. In the third and fourth sets
the Columbia veterans gradually in
creased their speed until they were
forcing Touchard and Dr. Rosenbaum
into all kinds of difficult positions.
The four gentlemen who fought out
the finals are all well known in this
city. having performed at the Brook
lawn Country Club tournaments on
numerous occasions.
