well be the Boston Red Sox. The dis
satisfaction among the players resulting
from the stand President John I. Taylor
has taken on the salary question does not
promise that display of energy and spirit
which a successful team must show.
With most of the members of the team
who have signed because it was the In
evitable. but believing that they have not
been fairly dealt with, it is questionable
whether they will deliver the goods to

BASE BALL PRACTICE
STARTS NEXT WEEK
Georgetown Battery Candi-
dates Will Begin Labors
on the LIST.

1t has been practically decided by those
in charge of the Georgetown base ball
team to start the battery men to work
indoors on the first of February or the
day after. This will mean that by the
end of next week there will be at least
fifteen pitchers and catchers tossing the
horsehide daily within the gymnasium un-
der the watchful eye of Capt. Sitterding
and Coach Sprigman.
Since the holidays Capt. Sitterding has
been making a thorough canvass Of the
university and has succeeded in discover
ing q great number Of youngsters who
will try for the job in the box. AS this
was the weak point on last years team
the news given out by the Blue and
Gray leader is very encouraging, and II
some of the new ones materialize as
well as they should there seems to be
every reason to believe that the local
nine will again resume its place as for
midable aggregation in the collegiate
base ball world.
The full list of those who will try for
the pitching assignments contains the
names of Balzer. Wymard, O'Conor. Lam
berton. DOnnelly, White. Robertson, Fin
ley. OF these but three are veterans. the
rest being men who have been playing In
interscholastic and club circles for the
past three or four years. Robertson is
a local prodigy. while Lamberton has
been displaying great form in other
branches Of athletics. Almost all of the
lads are OF good size and look as though
they could handle themselves well in a
hard encounter.
For the backst0p place Charlie Duffy,
the veteran Of two years ago. looms uE
as the strongest bidder. Against him for
the honor will be Feenan and Waldron
Of last spring, Fury, Hegarty and Dunn
Of the foot ball team and smith of the
reserves.
AS there are to be two mines kept 60
ing all the spring, this array of material
is none too plentiful. and even with the
many to pick from 1t will keep the
coaches on an edge to have men in readi-
ness for good action in the many battles
that ha0e been scheduled. There will
naturally be others out who have not as
yet signified their intentions, and it would
not be surprising to see the total number
for the two battery places reach above
twenty as soon as real work gets under
way.
Before the end of the month the whole
squad will be in harness and hard at
practice every day. No time is to be
lost in getting all Of the men into shape.
for it is the wish of those in charge
to have them divided for the two squads
before the first game comes off. After
that time the two teams will be kept as
near intact as possible and promotions

TEACH BOY A TRADE.
,~AA%~~~~NNNN

p. NJ. Greer of Scranton, Pa, in
the Engineering and Mining Journal
of New York, writes of the young
men who start in the mines and
then abandon them to study law,
medicine or dentistry professions
which, he says, are already over
crowded and where most OF these
young men make a scanty living.
He has touched on something that
seems elsewhere and everywhere
in the United States. Most parents
skimp and save and work early and
late to educate their children to be
ashamed of them and their ways.
How often you have heard a fond
foolish father say that he did not
intend to have his boy work as
hard as he had; that he was going
to give him a good schooling, so he
could make a living without hard
work.
The curse of the whole thing lies
in the idea that he instills into the
boys mind that hard work is not re-
spectacle.
Well he sends his boy to college
and he graduates in due time, but
all he knows is found in books and
the practical things he must turn
to and learn after he comes from
college. But he does not know that
he is full to the muzzle of imprac.
teal information and now comes the
struggle for existence, If he ha
graduated in law, he cannot draw
up complaint and get the other
man in court till somebody shows
him how If he is doctor but

A HOT ONE.
) NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,

One of Governor Foss' friends
recalled to him the other day one
of his early defeats in politics.
"Well, there were some compen-
sating features in the fight, said
the governor. Reminds me of the
old farmer out in Iowa. A live
stock dealer arrived in town and
bought all the hogs in the vicinity
except from one old fellow, who
held out for higher price than the
dealer was willing to give. The old
man said he'd rather drive his hogs
over the road to Chicago than ac-
cept the price offered by the dealer.
He did drive his hogs over the
road. OF course, they lost weight
and in addition to that, when he
got out to Chicago the bottom
had dropped out of the market,
and he had to sell his hogs for a
great deal less than he could have
disposed of them for at home. His
neighbors gleefully awaited his re-
turn home, and when he stepped
off the train they began to josh
him about this poor trade He lis
tened for awhile and then said:
well, there's this advantage |
had over you fellows; | had the
company of the hogs all the time. "

plats, determinations and specifiea-
lions of his proposed system of rec

with the commission, and the whole
project passed upon. If approved,
the state register of lands under

request on the part of the state,
in the United States land office,
for a segregation of the lands en-
braced in such approved application.
Certain fees and expenses are re-
quired to be paid by the applicant
during the course of such proceed

In due time the secretary of the
interior will approve or reject the
application for the segregation. II
approved, the commission is notified
and within three months thereafter
he must appear before the commits
sion and execute a contract cover
ing the construction of the pro-
posed reclamation works, and in
GLIDING in the contract the terms
and price at which water rights
will be sold to settlers. Such works
must be completed within three
years after the date of the contract
unless there are substantial reasons
for the granting of additional time
The contracting applicant or his as
signs must furnish a bond in an
amount equal to FIVE per cent OF
the estimated cost of the works
conditioned for the faithful per-
Torrance of the contract. Wofk
must be commenced on the irriga-
ton system within three months
from the date of the contract and
prosecuted with reasonable diligence
until its completion. At least one
tenth of the construction work must
be completed within the first year.

100 acres to each entryman. En-
trymen must be citizens OF the Unit
