Prizes for players.

As an added incentive for long dis
tance hitting by the Nationals, Phil
Hall writes that he will present to
each of the first five home players
who makes a home run at National
Park an attractive outing shirt.
Halls idea is unique one, and is
likely to prove attractive to the play
ers- Shirts have never before been
given, but home run in the past has
been worth shoes, neckties, suit cases,
tobacco and other useful things for the
men who know how to pole the ball
to the outskirts.

near National Park, urcnins in that Vi
cinity are In a position to do all sorts
Of damage to the property Of motorists
who enjoy seeing a ball game once in
a while.
Captain Doyle and his men did so well
In handling the record-breaking crowds
on Wednesday, that 1t would be unfair
to criticise, but II seems to me that 1t
would not be a bad idea to have a
couple Of policemen take a look around
the block every afternoon to see that
the automobiles are not interfered with
in any way. By treating any offenders
the same as they would be at any other
time or in any other part of the sea-
son, IL would be an excellent way to
prevent tampering by outsiders with
things in which they have no real in
terest.
This is a suggestion that should win
the appreciation Of all of the motorists
who have to leave their cars for two
hours at a time while they enjoy an
innocent amusement.

sent me an invitation to the third
annual baseball smoker of the organi-
zation which will be held in the club

Protect the players.

Attempting to catch balls dropped
from great distances, trying to break
long distance throwing records and
playing ball throughout the OF season
are three practices that managers
should break UP at all costs.
II a player Is injured in line Of duty,
there can be no feeling stirred up, but
when a teams chances are to be jeop-
ardized just in order to allow a man
to make a mark which really adds moth
ing to his value as player, and at the
same time exposes him to permanent
injury and even death, 1t is unfair to
those who make possible baseball
through their patronage Of the various
parks.
II ball thrown from the Monument
should tear Elberfeld's hand to pieces,
or the sphere dropped from an aero
plane should hit Street on the head,
the management of the Washington
club would have a hard time convinc-
ing the fans that the better interests
of the Nationals are being properly
looked after by those whose business
It is to labor for the interest Of base
ball in this city.

Protest to McAleer May Pre-
vent Hazard of Veteran
Backstop.
NATIONALS BOSS
YET UNDECIDED
Nothing for the Good of the Team
Seen in Circus Stunt
Proposed.
By SENATOR"

Indignation was found today among
the fans over the report that "Gabby'
Street, the Nationals veteran back
stop. would attempt to catch a ball
thrown by Anthony Janus from HIS
aeroplane as 1t circles over the polo
grounds in Potomac Park Tuesday
afternoon. Manager McAleer is as yet
undecided what to do in the matter,
but 1t seems likely he will interfere
with the proceeding.
Street is willing to make the at
tempt. but fans howl with rage, de-
claring that even II he succeeds he
will have done nothing for the good
OF the team. and that IL he fails and is
injured, the team will be the loser.
The Nationals need Street behind the
bat. and If they mean to make every
game a hard fight this SEASON. Street
cannot well afford to take chances of
injuring himself in stunts which are
not part of baseball and SAVIOR only
OF the circus.
Knowing the attitude Of the fans In
the matter. Manager McAleer will give
II his deepest attention before conclud-
ing to allow Street to make the at
tempt.
McAleer's Responsibility.
II Street is injured and forced to stay
out Of the game, the fans will turn to
McAleer, as the manager and guide Of
the team. for an explanation. He knows
this. too, and for that reason will not
allow his crack backstop to do any
thing to put the success Of the team in
jeopardy.
II Street is injured in a game, the
fans are not inclined to blame anybody
But If Street is allowed to try circus
stunts off the field and meets with in
Jury in doing so, there will be a yell go
up to the skies to Manager McAleer for
an explanation
The Nationals are primed for a quick
getaway from the post, and upon their
success in the early games of the sea-
son will depend much of their final DO
sition in the race. Manager McAleer
cannot afford to allow one of his best
players to risk injuring himself in a
circus stunt of no use to baseball or the
Nationals.

Too much wrestling.

II the wrestling promoters Of WASH
ington had the proper foresight they
would realize that the present conduct
of the sport here Is certainly not cal
culated to bring about any permanent
success financially to either themselves
or the grapplers.
Wrestling enthusiasts of this city are
ready and willing to go a good ways to
see Grant and Turner, Mackey and Tur-
ner, or Grant and Mackey, or any other
combination with some visitor who has
a real reputation. But when 1t comes
to importing all sorts OF mediocre talent
and the arranging return matches be-
tween the same pairs for a couple Of
days later, the public does not like It,
and will not stand for 1t long.
Time after time wrestling has been
ruined in this country by shady matches.
So just at a time when II appears to be
regaining its popularity in Washington
ii Is to be hoped that no unscrupulous
persons will be allowed to deliver q
staggering blow.

countered and the satisfaction In over

Mr.. Rosecrans is one of the most
noted irrigation engineers in the world
and has designed fifty big water sys-
tens involving the expenditure Of as
many million dollars. The Big Horn
Basin Irrigation and Power Company
system Of Wyoming, costing $4,000
900; the Pueblo-Rocky Ford Irrigation
system. costing $1,200,OOO, and the
Dodge City, Kans., project to water
100000 acres are among the greatest
Of Mr.. Rosecrans' many accomplish
ments.
Governor Carey Of Wyoming ex-
pressed his admiration of the work
dcne so close to Denver.
You will have a vast new farming
district within sight of your city, and
it is something worth thinking about"
The Standley dam is the largest
earth dam in the United States. The
grading done on the dam is equal to
100 miles of double track standard
railroad. The dam is 113 feet high.
Gatun dam at Panama Is 125 feet high.
The Standley dam has been thorough.
ly tested and showed no seepage OF
percolation when two-thirds full OF
water. Its position is such that it can
furnish water to strip of land ten to
twenty miles wide on either side of the
Platte river from Denver to Greeley.

must one be ever alert and stop him

no fear of his splitting out the bait;
he seiZes boldly and generally hooks
himself fast. The danger lies in an.
other direction-in his great strength
and wonderful cunning. He has you
both ways. II you stop him too sud

must know ones business thoroughly
to be successful and also be con-
stantly on the qui vive. And even then
accidents will occur. The wise fish.
erman always has extra tackle with
him.
1t is generally conceded that black.
fish bite best on the rising tide and
one cannot deny that exceptions prove
the, rule. but In more than one in.

Weather conditions are said to in.
nuence the biting of blackfish. A we'll.
known writer on game fish gives 1t as
his opinion that ideal conditions are
clouded skies and sufiicient breeze to
just rune the water without stirring
1t. Tho writer's experience and that
Of several Of his angler friends has
been that weather makes very little
difference.
A common belief. in no way sub.
stantiated. is that blackfish have a
keen sense Of hearing. Novices are
always cautioned to make as little
noise as possible. 1t is also said that
thunder SO frightens the blackfish
that they will cease from biting at
the first peal; and to this is added the
legend that after sharp crashes Of
lightning number are to be found
floating around on the surface dying
or dead.
Not the least good point OF the
blackfsh is his toothsomeness. Fresh
caught and cooked on the embers, he
offers q morsel flt for the gods. The
flesh is firm, savory and possessed Of
a delicious flavor. But, to the writer,
the greatest charm in blackfishing
lies In the beautiful hooks and en-.

haunts where one can 20 ashore

moves, for several days Of camping.
Nothing is more delightful than to
idle away the time in such pleasant
surroundings. fishing. bathing and
boating. And the catch will not be

hardy and will suffer no i'll effects
