since his scrap with Flynn. He Is re-
up In his attack. He has learned how to
block and duck and how to punch tle
body at close quarters. Morris Is filled
with ambition and good-natured patiente.
Mike Gibbons has done much for him.
and I hope Gibbons will continue TO be
the big fellows boxing instructor"
In Willie Hoppe the billiard world has
a champion of which ii can justly he
proud. Aside from his wonderful ability
as player, the young man Is so unas-
Stunning and modest that he becomes the
idol of those who are thrown In contact
with him. He Els indeed credit to the
sport world.
1t is hard to see where the Nationals
are going to be weaker than they were
last season, even though none of the
youngsters prove themselves to be great
stars. The material which has been let
out and which helped to make up tho
team last season, surely was not bril-
liant, and it would not require much to
NIL their places. Certain II is that
the teams speed will be greater the
coming season. regardless Of how II lis
made up, than it was last. for the reason
that the youngsters who will take the
places of the veterans are sure to be
more fleet of FOOT, no matter what their
other shortcomings may be. Incidentally
hitting won't be stronger. SO that even
IL Griffith should fail to add any mohe
material he seems to be in a fair way
to do as well next season as did Nc
Aleer last, and perhaps a whole lot bet
ter. 4
Aside from managing the Maps, Harry
Davis also proposes to do some scouting.
1t Is his intention to put In all his Off
days running down tips and looking over
youngsters. plan which other managers
might follow.
/, Davis is making a hit with Cleveland
fans for the reason that he gives every
indication OF being a hustler. something
that team has not had In the makeup
of Its leader for many years.
Hughey Jennings says that the man
ayers who are touting golf. tennis. hand
ball and cross-country walking as va@u
able aids to ball players during the spring
training trips are on the wrong track.
The Tiger leader holds to the opiniosis that
the stay in the south should be devoted 70
work and not play and he classes the va
rious games with which other clubs ex-
pertinent this season under the latter
head.
The authenticated generals contention

program of two daily practice sessions on
the diamond. By playing base ball a man
renews his knack of handling and hitting
the pail ana at the same time Duilds hiffl-
self up physically and improves his wind.
while If he fools around with other
games he may be conditioning himself.
but he is learning nothing of the pastime
at which he makes his living.
Jennings is right in his contention. The
time in the south which the average team
spends is much too short to devote any
part of 1t to anything but base ball. Hero
and there an exception occurs. for a
player like Ty Cobb is not benefited by a
long siege Of training, because he is never

that 1t was an off day, which it probably
vas. rather than any special deteriora-
ton in the general work of the team.
In going up against the New York crew
the Hilltoppers will undoubtedly be
against one of the best teams in the
country. There are few of the big north
ern college fives which rank above the
New Workers, and the local aggregation
Will have to go a fast gait to make a
good showing. Last year on the local
floor Georgetown was defeated by the
same team by score of - to Is, and in
the first contest this year in New York
the Gothamites also won by score of

have already been defeated by the New

competing for the fremont Athletic Club,
and suspended by the Amateur Athletic
Union, is being asked to admit the Of

the way the matter stands: Frank is said
to have won a baby carriage in a race

A. A. u. officials do not know on what
date the race occurred nor where it was
held. but the fremont man is told when
he faces the registration committee that
he might as well admit the offense.

was soon switched to hunting. Griff in
vited Comiskey and Johnson to come to
his ranch in Montana next fall and get
some big game hunting instead of going
to the club preserves at the Jerome Hunt
ing Club in northern Wisconsin. Grifi
carried away an order from Commy for
the head of a mountain lion killed by
himself, and the same is to be hung in
the sacred precincts of the palatial Office
at Comskey Park with a story of how it
was killed by the leader of the Washing
ton club.
Shibe and Connie Mack are due here to-
day, along with President T. c. Noyes
of Washington and Frank Navin of the
Tigers. The New York club is not ex-
during the meeting, and the Tiger head
has announced that he is not going to
seek any deal of any kind unless he
finds that Hal Chase, Walter johnson,
Ed Walsh or Harry Lord are on the
market, and then. he says. he will get
in and start bidding. McAleer does not
expect to land any players here but
Hedges, Callahan and Somers, along with
Griffith. are all looking for some one that
they can beat out of the price of a play
er or two.
President Johnson says that the meet
ing will not take up over two hours.
Every one has seen the schedule and no
kicks have been registered. Inc oIiy
business other than the routine is the
consideration of the change in the ma
tional agreement caused by the change
in the rating of some of the minor
leagues. There may be a little discussion
over request from the National League
to have waiver rules passed so that 1t
will be necessary for both major leagues
to waive on players before they get back
into the minors.
Herman Schaefer was one Of the close
companions of Griffith all day yesterday.
The veteran Is little scared that Griff
means to part with all of the old-timers
on the team because there has been so
much talk going the rounds that Grill
intends to start from the ground UP to
build a winner in Washington. There
will be no chance for any kind of a
trade to be pulled for Schaefer while
Griff is here unless it is talked over in
his presence.
There is a possibility that some kind
of a trade may be cooked up between
Griffith and Wolverton. The new leader
of the Highlanders is looking for a
catcher to fill in his backstopping depart
ment, and John Henry looks pretty good
to him if he can offer the right kind OF
a trade in return. The two managers
were together.

BREED FLIES TO GET BOUNTY
Flushing, N. ", overrun With Pests
When First Supply Runs
Out.

Flushing, y. "a campaign against
the househy which was inaugurated by
the town authorities here a few weeks
ago has resulted In a curious compli-
cation owing TO the rivalry OF local
small boys for the prizes offered to
those turning in the largest quantity
OF dead flies.
As the campaign waxed warmer,
the supply of flies began to diminish.
Then some of the ingenious boy con-
testants devised fiy-breeding establish
ments, which insured them n maxi
mum "catch" with minimum amount
of labor. Tainted meat. or molasses,
was used to encourage the flies. With
an improvised trap of mosquito net
ting hung above this breeding place,
catch of a pint or more was insured
every day.
Members of the Anti-Fly society
were puzzled at the sudden increase in
the fly pest until some one revealed
the truth. The officials are uncertain
whether to end their campaign or to
have a raid made on the breeding
places.

London.-Herbert Hall Turner, pro-

quarterly. Bedrock, expresses the opin-
ION that fixed stars are constantly and
swiftly moving. The older star is,
he says, the quicker 1t moves. Young
stars are, perhaps. not subject to grav-

of the tellurians, which repels that
which might be called anti-matter, so
that there is a mutual repuision as well
as a mutual attraction among the

BEES AT A LONDON STATION
Cause a Small Panc-Farmsr Puts
Handful In Pocket.

London.-When Hammersmith
train drew up at the Baker street

recently several hundred infuriated
bees got out of the train, as well as
several passengers.
Brought from Kings Cross I'm box
addressed to Hampstead, the insects,
on being landed at Baker street, man.
aged to escape from the box. With an
angry hum the bees buzzed in and out
among the passengers on the platform,
who darted away in all directions.
Live bees!" somebody shrieked. "Oh,
I've one in my HART" cried a woman.
An official on duty at the gate saw
the air full OF little black and yellow
bodies, felt something crawling on his
hand-and bolted! Amid this turmoil
one man at least was cool and collect.
ed. He hailed from the country, and
on alighting from the train, surveyed
the scene with a quiet smile
"This be lucky" he remarked, and.
STOPPING down toward a bunch of the
insects swarming on the platform, he
calmly picked up two handfuls of
them. put them in his pocket, and
walked off.
There were many thousands of bees
in the box, but the majority OF them
were secured in time. Nobody in the
stampede considered the bees them
selves, which were vainly trying TO
reach daylight and the flowers. Doz-
ems of them buzzed pitifuly around an
electric arc lamp. while others crawled
upward to the sooty regions above.
Hundreds of the insects were
stamped on and killed on the plat
form. The trouble was soon ended.
