The question is asked, Why
was the work divided among so
many sub-contractors. The reason
given by Mr.. Watts is that owing
to there being a scarcity of work,
the Utah Construction company de-
sired to keep their men together an6
therefore split up the work into
small divisions in order to hold
all their men and equipment. Sc
veral of the sub-contractoFs have
large enough outfits to undertake
the entire contract from here to
the Ferry without any assistance.

the season in the city basket ball league.
The first game was played a little more

in the other games on its schedule.
The Virginia game will
likely be played on the formers field for
years to come. The Virginia-North Caro-
lima game is played in Richmond because
there is no other city in which as much
revenue could be derived. and it is rather
surety that the Georgetown-Virgfnia
game would hardly draw half as much
anywhere else as it does here.
Donnelly, who coached the Maryland
Agricultural College foot ball team last
fall will have charge of track and base
ball also at that school. He will not start
the track team at work, though, until
after the holidays-at least that is his in
tention at present. The Farmers have
never begun running until after Christ
mas and Donnelly thinks 1t best that they
do not break the custom this year.

HYPNoTISM HOLDS THIEF:
 STANDS RIGID 20 MINUTES

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 9.-Luther & Kaufman, prominent attorney of this city, with hypnotism for a hobby, this morning put a burglar under the spell of his eye in his residence and for twenty minutes kept the man rig i'd with arms upheld until the suburb an police placed him under arrest
 When his four daughters and wife first heard noises in the house they aroused MT. Kaufman, who went down stairs unarmed and when the waiting feminine contingent of the household found the silence below unbroken for some minutes they followed the father down stairs.
 At the sight of the burglar standing with arms upraised, transixed by the lawyers gaze, they set up a howl that brought their miiKman to the scene. In their hysteria the five women at. tackled the milkman so vigorously that he fled iii terror to his wagon, the hypnotized burglar continuing to stand with hands up"

BLOCKS BIC FUND FOR
 RURAL cARRiERS' EDITOR

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Fourth As. sistant Postmaster General Degraw by circular letter has ordered every post master in the country to advise the rural carriers not to contribute to the Brown fund.
 It was learned by the department that every rural carrier had received Ia letter from H. fl. Windsor of Chi. eago, former owner of the Rual Fee Delivery News, asking si toward a fund to be raised for w. D. Brown. editor of the paper, as a testimonial for getting congress to raise the car rlers' pay. The letter suggested that Mir. Brown, through his many friends in congress, could obtain a thiriy days vacation and further raises for the carriers.
 A number of congressman have has tened to let the carsiers ia their con. stituencies know that Brown had nc great part in getting their recent raise of Sl00.
 There are 200 rural carriers on the pay roll, and as Windsor's appeal had four days start many have probably sent in their dollar

Here's another one Roberts the wrestler is out with a basiness-liks challenge to the Ie0-pounders of the territory and says that the -acceptor' may name the date as well as the size of the wager wad. Following is the throw down that Roberts huris broadcast over Arizona:
 T challenge all 160-pound wrest. lers in Arizona, bar none. for match in Tucson. the acceptor settling the date. I am willing to wrestle for any amount, the acceptor also settling the sum of the side bet.
 (Signed) .J. W. ROBERTS,"
 ThIs looks like direct challenge to someone, but Roberts does not say it is for Ed Hussen, who he says he will be glad to take on after the latter s match with Al Ketchel in Bisbee On September II. The only condition that the Tucson wrestler will insist upon is that the match be pulled of in Tue. son
 The double-header match between Roy McAllister of Bisbee and Ed Brown of Tucson and Joe Doris cl Bisbee and Kid Dexter of Tucson seems to be hanging fire as nothing has been heard at this end of the wrestling circuit.

MIRAGE WORSE THAN
 USUAL THIS SEASON
Continued Dry Spell Respon- sible for Necessity of
 Abandoning Shoot

Some idea may be obtained Of the difficulty under which the local Rifle club kss worked by the fact that Bas- set Watkins. acknowledged to be one of the best shots in this part of the country and the holder of a sharp shooter medal, could not hit the Tar get at all last Sunday at 300 yards. The target is six feet square. Owing 10 the prevalence of mirages in this sec tiOn at this time of the year the io- calls win not participate in the Pa cific Coast League schedule during the remainder of the season The club men win again take up range work in the fall, however.
 The mirages are said to be more tantalizing this summer than ever before at this time of the year, owing to the continued drouth The other eiuDs or the league have been official ly notified of the capture of the Bis bee clubs goat by the mirage. The gun men felt that it was a waste O. ammunition to shoot against suca handicap and moreover that tbeir reputation might suffer where local conditions are not known.

 JIM BARRY OF CHICAGO

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-Porky Flynn Of Boston outpointed and outboxed Jim Barry of Chicago in a 10-round bout here last night Flynn had the advantage in every round but the first and showed some clever work, attributed by fight followers to his recent association with Sam Lang ford as a sparring partner. Barry took a good beating through repeat ed lefts and rights on the wind and over the heart and Kidneys.
 In the sixth round Barry knocked Flynn down with a right swing on the side of his head Flynn took nine seconds and then jumped up ready for more. In the seventh Barry slipped to the floor but was up quickly, and in the ninth Flynn had 8 similar mishap, but was up at once.
 The Boston man refused to mix when Barry rushed and stood him of by skillful boxing.

CHANGING PITCHERS
 HAS BECOME HABIT

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.--Now and then a little curiosity is expressed as to whether the modern pitchers obtain work enough to keep them in good condition. This doesn't refer 10 their physical condition, but to their pitch ing condition.
 The custom has grown upon man agers to shift pitchers in a hurry they happen to be batted hard when the game is close. For that reason al most ali ball teams are carrying more pitchers in comparison with the actual work that they do on a ball field than they ever did.
 If occasionally one of the pitchers who happens to be hit hard were tc be kept in the game instead os being sent to the bench it might be that the team would rally as quickly be- hind him as it would behind a fresll pitcher, and 1t has frequently been demonstrated in baseball that pitcher may De hit in one inning and after that hold a team to almost nothing.
 The policy which makes for almost immediate retirement of a pitche- when he happens to be batted hard also makes for the destruction of his confidence Possibly this would have less bearing upon an old-timer than is would on a youngster.
 McGraw very frequently is slow to change a pitcher who happens to be hit, and it is largely for the reason that he wants the pitcher to have every opportunity to help himself out of the trouble into which he has fal- len When he notes that 8 pitcher i1 not himself he is a young man on the team CT an old player. There arc days when the best pitchers are lesl effective than is usually the case whea they are in the box.
 Before 1t was baseball etiquette to have almost as many pitchers on a team as there are all other players combined, the time was when a pitcher would be raped for three or fous runs in the early part of the game and yet stick through and win.
 Such managers are to0Asensitive tC the howl from ahe stands Take hin outl5 Spectators have become toe much accustomed to believe that the only relief in baseball is change. Per haps as good relief would be to permit the pitcher 10 go through now ane then and trust to his ability and thai of his fellow players to overcome the lead of the opponents.
 As experienced a player in profes sional baseball as ~Cy7 Young once qnaintly observed: T wouldn't have been Old cy. as they call me. if i hadn't been for Pat Tebeau. When began to play ball with Cleveland ans happened to be batted little in th, carly part Of tho game Pat woull walk over and say, Keep it go ing. Cy,' we'll catch 'em yet ans fadny time we did catch fl.eni, be cause we nlayed better ball. If ha. been pulled out Of the box every Innin, that the other club made two or threl runs [ wouldn't have bad enough con
 idence in myself at the end of the twl years to pitch hay
