At Monroe last spring the hame-ha

that Is saying a good deal.
Had the result of his experience in the
automobile accident been an injury that
would have kept him on the bench. De-

mourn. His antics on the coaching lines
are one of the features OF every perform

The Georgetown basket bail team will
end its practice season tonight. So far
this season the Hilltoppers have met
teams which were only calculated to give
them good practice and get them In con-
dition to meet the big colleges. The con-
test with Loyola tonight will mark the
end of the games which have been re-
garded as easy, and from now on the
schools on the schedule will prove as
strong, If not stronger. than the Blue and
Gray quint The majority OF the schools
remaining to be played have quints which
will have at least an even chance to win
from the local institution.
Monday night the first Of the really hard
games will be played. when st. Johns Col
lege Of Brooklyn is to be met Last sea-
son st. Johns lost but one game. and that
was to the alumni five. Among the large
schools that were defeated was Yale.
That the Blue and Gray team will be up
against one Of the best teams in the east
is practically certain from the fact that
the veterans who composed the five last
year are the ones who will make up the
aggregation that will appear on the local
court.
After the game with st. Johns will
come Washington and Lee, Virginia,
North Carolina. University OF Pittsburgh.

and others. To so through with sched-
ule on which are listed such teams as the
ones mentioned with any degree of sue

to do, especially with the changes that
have been and are to be made.

Foolish Talk of Summer Base Ban.

made another Intellectual effort to solve
the summer base ball evil. The question
was debated pro and con as 1t has been
ever since this association was organ

committee after committee to investigate
this subject and report or recommend
some reform. Each committee In turn
has come to about the same conclusion
concerning 1t, namely. that 1t was an
evil very difficult to root out. The temp

for money has been SO strong and the
evil has spread SO far that many investi-

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DETROIT. January S.-According to DR..
William E. Keane. club physician to the
Tigers, the spring training trips OF big
league clubs could be reduced In length.
and lot Of hard and tedious work could
be eliminated II the players would take
systematic exercise in the winter months
DR.. Keane does not mean to recommend
that ball players keep in training. in the
sense that the word Is used by college
men, for twelve months In the year, but
he believes that little exercise every
day would be splendid thing. especially
for those tossers who are disposed to
flesh up rapidly.
Some OF the men who pastine on the
diamond for q living keep themselves in
shape all the year around, but there are a
large number whose hardest athletic
STUNTS between seasons are walking into
the dining room three times q day and
throwing an occasional shovelful OF coal
into the old base burner.
The work In the south is divided into
two classes. first. getting ready to prac-
tice. and second. practice itself. AS almost
any one who has been obliged to take or
weight by the wholesale can attest there
is small joy involved in the process. It Is
hard work all the way through. Nearly
every one of the fieshy boys announces
annually after he has succeeded In get
ting down to the proper figure that never
again will he allow himself to get so out
Of shape. Then the next winter he lets
the adipose tissue pile up Just the same
as ever.

Hog Cholera Prevention.

Government specialists who give
their attention to the treatment and
prevention of diseases of domestic AMI
mails have taken particular interest in
the disease of the hog. The most thor
ough scientific investigation has been
made into the minutest details of the
conditions affecting the health and
thrift of that animal. Among the
more promising results announced are
the means perfected for the prevention
of hog cholera. At present no one sub
ject is of so great Importance to the
farmer. The Iowa Homestead of May
9th will contain an illustrated article
showing the results that have been
gained by the experiments of scien-
fists on farms and in experiment sta
tions devoted exclusively to this work.
Our farmer readers should not fail to

sessions We're educational and helpful
to high degree. One feature of
especial interest which received the

Odd Fellows at Decorah.

About SO Odd Fellows and several
Rebekahs from Cresco attended the
93rd anniversary celebration at Deco
rah last Friday, joining with about 500
Odd Fellows from various towns in the
district.
The exercises commenced with pa
rade from the Rock Island Park to the
Opera House, where the audience was
favored with addresses by Mayor
Daubney, Senator Quigley of McGreg-
or, and Judge Henderson of Indianola,
and musical selections by an orchestra
composed of children from the Odd
Fellows Orphans Home at Mason City.
To our mind, this latter feature was
the best thing of the celebration, not
that the music was in any way extra
ordinary. but the well kept and hap
py appearance of the bright boys and
girls spoke most eloquently of the
practical apple ,tion of the fraternal
teachings of the order.
In the evening, in the Steyer Hall
the Cresco team exemplitied the work
of the first degree in faultless man
ner, and was the only team that re-
ceived any applause-and it was
merited. Odd Fellows who have wit
messed the work in many other places,
complimented it highly, and the team
may be asked to exemplify the degree
at the next Grand Lodge meeting.
The next meeting of the Association
will be held at West Union.
