Trenton Does Some ChucIlIlng.
Trenton True American.

trenton true AMERICAN.
The deal whereby the Williamsport
baseball franchise in the Tri-State
League was sold to Wilmington
means much to Trenton fans that
they have not considered. Among
other benefits this city will derive
will be in the fact that the local team
will play here on all holidays, alter
mating morning and afternoon holiday
games with the Peaches. When VIII
mington was In the Tri-State League
a few seasons ago, this system Of
exchanging games on holidays proved
highly popular with the fans as well
as profitable to the club owners. Dur
ing the first season of the Tri-Stato,
Wilmington and Trenton played TO
standing room, II being estimated that
there were $500 people on the field.
Train connections are such that un-
less the game is a particularly drawn
out ono a full nine-innings game can
be played in the morning and still
reach the grounds in the other city in
time to start playing at $3.50. Last
season the local club got but one holi-
day date and the fans put up a great
wall.

Trenton Times.
OF all the towns IN the Tri-State
League, Reading is the only one In an
unsettled condition. Johnstown de-
cided late last week to stick for an
other season and the money to sup
port the team being raised.
You see
When IT came to the real show down
the Johnstown fans couldn't bear the
thought of being without Tri-State
baseball.
Reading is behind i'm general plans
and the fans are worrying. They want
baseball, but like all other fans, they
want a winning team.
AS a matter OF fact the outlook in
the Tri-State was never better than
It is now.
Williamsport, while a good, game
sporting town, was never a benefit TO
the league. The club could never at
tract home crowds and the best a Wis
iting club could look for was the reg
ular guarantee amount.
Wilmington is a bigger city-a good
sporting city, and IL Pete Cassidy can
get a good club there every visiting

M'FARLAND MAKES POOR
SHOWING AGAINST BRIlTON

Packy Mcfarland to-day attributes
his poor showing against Jack Britton
OF Indiana, at Memphis last night. to
the low weight he made.
Hereafter ] will not try to make
too low weight for my hghts,' said
the stock yard fighter today. Il was
drawn too fine in last nights clash
with Britton."
Mcfarland and Britton went eight
rounds to draw at tho opening OF
the New Armory Athletic Club.
The poor showing Of Mcfarland
drew forth a storm Of disapproval
from the crowd and Kisses mixed with
catcalls were frequent
n his cleverness had matched his
gameness. Phil McGovern, brotner 6f
the one time Terrible Terry. would to-
day be wearing the crown of victory
over Monte Attell. The lads pulled
of rattllng ten-round scrap at the
Vanderbilt A. c., New York. last night,
and though McGovern put Attell to
the mat twice In the first two rounds,
he was finally badly outpointed.
Monte showed the Attell brand OF
cleverness and was much too elusive
for the more plodding South Brook
Ignite.
Great fears are today felt that Abe
Attell's career as a boxer Is ended
for all time to come, as a result OF
the serious fracture Of his right arm
sustained in his bout at Cleveland
last night with Johnny Kilbane, a
Cleveland fighter. Attell got his in
| jury in the fourth round, when the
two men clinched and fell with ter
rife force, Attell being underneath.
The latter groaned as he struck tho
! floor and I'm great pain began calling
| for a doctor. A hasty examination
showed that the bone of his right arm
had been badly fractured and he was
hurried TO a hospital. Physicians
today declare Il will be two months
at least before he can box again, IL
ever.
Until Attell was hurt. Kilbane
was making a good showing He was
J given the decision on a technicality,
f, Attell being unable to continue.
Warren Barbour, Jim Corbett's
hope Of the white race" is again at
tracing attention today as the result
/ Of his speedy knockout Of John Gar
retson of the Irish-American Athletic
Club, New York. last night. Barbour
is the national amateur heavyweight
champion, and he made good his
claim by landing three right smashes
on Garretson's Jaw in the first two
minutes Of battle. The last crack
chloroformed Garretson. A big bunch
OF gentlemen" sports saw the mill
and they were loud in their praise
Of Barbour's clean cut work. Barbour
looked TO have the "makins" Of a real
champion.
That INK Russell, the Philadelphia
welterweight, should have been given
draw decision in his ten-round fight
with Harry Brewer, of Kansas City,
there last night is the popular verdict
today OF the several hundred follow
ers who saw the match. Brewer was
given the decision by Referee Mel
lody, but few of the spectators be-
lieve that he outpointed the Philadel-
phian.

A Lenend Of Mount omi.

Mount Omi, on the border between
western China and Tibet. has the long
est staircase in the world. On top OF
the mountain there stands @ Buddhist
temple, around which gather some OF
the holiest traditions OF that religion
and which is made a Mecca to the
Chinese. To facilitate the ascent OF
Its slippery sides some 10000 steps
have been cut In the mountain, form
sng a single flight, up which the pill
grim tolls. Because of it's inaccessi-
billy sew Europeans have ever visited
the spot, but a number OF travellers
have assembled the stairway and are
positive that il is no legendary myth.
There is a legend that In earlier times
the pilgrim was forced to ascend tho
mountain without artificial aids until
the monks conceived the plan OF no
quiring every pilgrim who would gain
especial benefit of his journey to cut a
single step.

Calculations Necessary to Produce the

ginning to end, but each figure Of the
printed almanac Is in the office ex-
amined twice and read three times.
The total number Of figures exceeds
a million: but, great as that number Is,
1t is trlhing compared with the num-
Der of figures employed in the calcula-
lions, as the almanac figures repre-
sent s'bare. results only. The moon,
for instance, requires for Its calcu-
lation more than a million and a half
of@agures, and similarly with other
branches of the work, such as the
sun. the planets, etc. Contrary to the
general opinion, practically every fig.
ure In the book Is fresh from year to
year.
The tables from which nearly all the
work Is calculated have been original
Iy constructed from the labers of the

extent from the observations Of the

This includes the new 16, 006,0 00

1t has been suggested hat next

taxpayers an opportunity to see
what is back OF the water that runs

are compiling an annual statement
as to the work OF the water depart
ment during the last res These
figures include the checking OF of
all the house and meter bills OF the
