Bismarck, n D., March 22--In Jan
uary the legislative committee of the
state federation of women S clubs seut
to the study clubs a tentative list Of
subjects for special consideration dur
ing the coming year. 1t was hoped
that the clubs would be willing to

III the state and nation. The list was
as follows:
Charitable Institutions. -.
Child Labor Laws.
Compulsory Education.
Conservatism.

Laws for Women.
Library Extension.
Reformatory Institutions:
The responses have been most graft

IN the state. In the two months en-
suing replies have reached Mrs. Bud

list Of subjects has been referred, to a
committee which has not yet reported

1t VIII he seen tlat JuNenlle courts
and laws for women are the favorite
topics. Compulsory education, while
first choice of only three clubs, is in
rluded in the three chosen by sixteen
clubs. AS the committee on cduca
tion is expected to prepare a pro
:ramme on that subject whic hwill in
cude the new educational law passed
by the last legislature, it will be adj
-isable for the legislative committee
to duplicate that work. Charitable in
stitutions stands third in the number
of votes for first place but reforma-
tory institutions is requested by more
clubs (l3) so an outline will be ar
ranged that will combine both topics.
Law for women will be expanded to
include contractional rights of women
rs well Us laws concerning matters OF
special interest to them, such as snf-
frage, tcmprance, hours of labor and
related topics, and will thus include
material sufficient for those clubs wish
IN gan entire years programme. Two
clubs asked to have Ventilation of
Public Buildings added to the list, and
one each requested Domestic Science.
Bird Protection and Woman S Suf-
frage.
This desire to become posted on state
laws and conditions marks forward
step in systematic club study and in
co-opration through federation and is
an experiment that will be watched
with interest III other states as we'll as
our own on account Of the possible fal
| reaching results.

WILL MAKE CHANGE
Connie Mack to Work Along
Different Lines.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

PHILADELPHIA. May 31.--Manager
Connie Mack will institute a radical
| change In the spring training for next
season, something that has not obtain
ed in his method since he has assumed
charge OF the American League team in
this city. The reason for q complete
change in the usual plans was the un
satisfactory training trip this year.
Poor weather. practice limited to at
ternoon alone. wings damaged by chill
breezes. veterans falling to round into
shape because OF the temperature. all
these things have initiated against the
worlds champions and put them down
in the race, when they should be show
ing the road even now
To illustrate the changes, the Ath-
letics will leave for Texas before the
hrst OF March and go straight to San
Antonio. A few days practice under
the superheated skies there and Con-
ME expects to have his team playing
exhibition games with the local ag-
gregati0n the first Saturday after the
arrival OF the champions in the Lone
Star state.
Five or six weeks will be spent in
Texas Connie is on a still hunt now
for twirlers. and he expects to have
half dozen new ones to broak in and
uSSSAop ucA tue team goes south next
spring. There will be all kinds Of baths
at San Antonio, which will give the
Macks the benefit Of Hot Springs and
also the beautiful weather Of Texas at
the same time.
After the spring practice is finished the
younger pitchers will come north. There
will be two or three games on the road,
presumably at Houston. New Orleans and
Atlanta and the youngsters in the fwirl-
ing corps and the regulars will arrive
in SYN0 "a
with the Phillies.
The older pitchers will probably pass
the time at San Antonio until the regu-
lar championship season opens. That
viii give them an opportunity to keep in
perfect trim. and not take a chance with
their arms by playing In the interleague
scraps.
The youngsters who have been de-
veloped, and Connie expects to find
couple Of good youngsters In the crop
that he will purchase and draft at the
end Of the base ball season this year. will
be asked to step right into the fracas
at the start.
This is the plan which Hughie Jennings
adopted this year, and he has been sue
cessful. The youngsters, behind q club
Of the powerful offense and defense OF
the Tigers. came through with flying COL
ors. This gave the veterans q chance to
round to form easily, and not to be called
upon to pitch their heads off at the start
of the season.
The success Of the Tigers in this stunt
may not have had any bearing on the
determination of Manager Mack to change
his training quarters. But the plans are
Identical at any rate. In connection with
San Antonio 1t Is probable that a perma-
nent camp may be established there, and
the Athletics train there in future trips.
Had not Connie taken the honeymoon
trip to Italy last fall. it is likely. SO he
states that he would have made arrange
ments to have gone to San Antonio last
spring. Negotiations were under way, but
they were halted by Cupid and the after
math Of the wedding Of the tall manager.

when 1t comes to catching men off there

Is constantly working tricks around the
bag and probably catches more base
runners off of sec ond than any other
shortstop In the league. The Boston
pitchers all work well with him and this
makes 1t rather precarious to take any
kind Of a lead off second.
Without wanting to blame the umpir-
ing for the defeat of the Nationals yes
terday. it is. however, surprising that q
man as incompetent as Perrine is kept
on major league staff. His calling of
balls and strikes caused a wrangle all
day long. He was calling strikes or balls
that were hitting in front of the plate,
and both pitchers and all batters COM
planned
Neither Street nor Ainsmith are throw
ing up to their standard. This is un-
doubtedly the result of the lay off the
weak and Ainsmith cannot throw ac-
curately. and this cut some figure in the
result of the games, for the visitors took
considerable liberty on the bases.
In the five games Boston played here
Hooper got ten clean base hits. This
youngster comes pretty near to being as
good an outfielder as there is in the
league mere Is notnlng tnat lie cdnnot
do. In fact. that entire Boston outfield
compares favorably with any in the coun
try. Even the Tigers trio has nothing on
the Red Sox outfit in this respect. Lewis.
Speaker and Hooper are a fast, hard
hitting, good fielding lot and every one
of them can throw like shot. 1t is the
work of that outfield which has kept the
Boston team in the hunt this year, for
its infield does not appear to possess
much class.
Here is the score of the afternoon

interesting enough, but went the wrong

BY ]. ED GRuLo.

Base ball was greatly benefited wher
the umpire was given the power to rule
the players with an iron hand. and could
rely upon being backed up in such ac-
ton by the head OF the league. but the
greatest care should be taken in secur-
ing competent men for such positions
The fact that an umpire has the power
to remove a player from the field or
otherwise punish him for objecting to his
rulings works q great injustice when
| such power is placed in incompetent
hands. Umpires have a way OF cover
ing UP their own mistakes oy taking 1t
out on the players. The American League
staff has for years been one of the
strongest in the history of base ball, but
as the veterans are growing older and
starting on the down grade, young men
of ability are not being found to take
their places. Competent umpires make
mistakes. but the players realizing that
the error was one Of judgment seldom
make a kick under such conditions.
Detroits chances look a whole lot bet
ter today than they did before yester-
day. The fact that Summers and Dono-
van gave a good account OF themselves
in the two games at Cleveland yesterday
makes the Tigers pitching staff look de-
cidedly more formidable than 1t did.
Summers pitched his first game of the
season yesterday morning and defeated
Cleveland, and Donovan came into the
second game under trying conditions and
saved 1t. With these two veterans ready
to take their regular turn on the rub
ber. and doing good work from now out.

ably prove sufficient to keep him in

the first day this year that Detroit pitch

wonderful difference in the pennant race
from now on.
Some years ago. when boxing doomed
in New York and the biggest fistic affairs
were pulled of there, the fakirs saw
chance to make some sure money. and
a series OF frarle-up fights were put on.
The expose which naturally followed re-
suited in law being passed preventing
these fights. and for a long time 1t was
against the law to don a glove in New
York Gradually the authorities relented,
and boxing is again on solid basis In
Gotham: but it appears that the trainers
are at it again. and there is great dam
ger Of another halt being called. From
all accounts that Murphy Brown night
last week was frame-up. At least
sporting men in New York do not hesi-
tate to say SO.
II there is any one in the big city who
has the good of the sport at heart steps
should be taken at once to drive the
falxirs out OF the game.
