resented on the indoor track this winter.
According to a statement made yesterday
1t is the intention Of the Kendall Green
management to enter a relay four and
several other members OF the squad IN
every set of games which are held in this
city and Baltimore.
Gallaudet had a very creditable relay
team last year, running second In Its
race In the Pennsylvania games, and 1t
should be able, to put capable four on
represented the Buff and Blue last win
ter is back, and is in better condition
than then.
II Gallaudet does enter the indoor
meets 1t will undoubtedly aid 1t much In
its outdoor work Conditions here in the
cary spring are not very conducive to
getting men in the best of shape. and
some indoor work during the winter will
aid materially in helping the men start
the spring season in such condition that al
that will have to be done with them will
be to get their legs In shape so they
will be used to the spike shoes and the
cinder path.
Western High will probably start the
track season this year with as good pros
poets as any Of the other schools. Cen
trail lost the nucleus which made 1t su-
preme on the track for the last four
years. and none of the other teams meas
ures up any higher than the Red and
White.
In Jones. Western has a man who last
spring defeated the best that Central now
has, and he should not have gone back
any in his work. Jones. provided he is
in the condition he should be. should
win tho hundred two-twenty and four
forty races in the spring meet this year.
In the field events 1t will simply be a
case Of which school can develop the best
men, as there are only one or two left
in either who are above the ordinary.

Evers thinks both Rixey and Tyler
are the two best left-handers in the

According to the new Cub pilot he
looks upon Rixey as the greatest college

MAKING A BASEBALL.

The Winding Process Is Done In Secret
In a Locked Room.
In the center of the standard base.
ball, as used by the professional play
ers, there is IA globe of compressed cork
covered with rubber This globe is
about an inch in diameter and around
it are wound a few layers of coarse
Irvine. 1t Is then sent to the winding
room. where machines first wind on
thick four ply blue yarn. At frequent
intervals the ball is soaked In ce.
ment solution and Sut aside to dry.
Many different workers have to do
with the winding of the ball Each
workman tests it for size and weight
before he passes 1t along The ma
chimes insure tight and even winding
and there are different machines for
different sizes Of yarn. These machines
are operated in secret in locked room
When the ball has been wound to the
proper size with blue and white yarn
and has been dipped in the solution. II
Is wound finally with smaller yarn.
Thus the firm. rough center is overald
with finer and finer material until at
last it is smooth and perfect, ready for
the cover.
The best horsehide obtainable is used
for covers. The pieces are cut by hand
and dampened and stretched. The ball
is put into clamps and the cover sewed
on with cotton thread, which has a
greater FRACTIONAL strength than linen
or silk. Each ball is sewed by hand
and then put into a machine that irons
down the seams. The polishing is done
by still another machine. Then, after
being stamped and wrapped, the ball is
ready for market.
ball weighs five ounces and is nine
inches in circumference. In the course
of manufacture it Is weighed and meas

Why We Walk In Our sleso.

The reason many persons walk IN
their sleep is because one part of the
mind is wide awake when the other is
asleep Brt the curious thing about
sleepwalking Is that just because the
walker is asleep and no: conscious he
can walk over dangerous spots which
would probably cause him TO fan
through nervousness If he were wide
awake. But as he IS not awake aud
not conscious he generally walks safe
ly and remembers nothing about it.
So it is easy to see why it Is danger.
Gus to awake a sleepwalker while he
Is walking along precipice or in some
other dangerous position.-Kansas City
Times.

THE "KILTIEs' ARE COMING.
Manager RsOs Arranging 4 Concert By "a.
msus Globe Troliers.

Manager Roos Of the Sandoz
Opera House, said that he
was trying to arrange for a con-
cert Of the Scottish Canadian,
globe-trotting Kilties band
who are making a transconti-
mental tour. The word "Kilties"
is a familiar expression in almost
every big city Of the world and
from kings down to beggars
there is not another musical or
ganization in existence that is as
well understood and as highly
appreciated as the Kilties.
Mr. Roos said that If the citi-
zens of this city would support
him in his venture with their
patronage that he could perhaps
secure the Kilties', for at least
one concert anyway.
Two of the most notorious
characters in the United States
or Canada may visit this city
soon. They are known in the
newspaper world as MacMut and
McJef, but their real names are
4-@#|
donald Mccormack and Jamie
Clark. MaeCormack is a Cana
dian giant standing two inches
over seven feet tall and Clark is
from Dundee, Scotland, and is a
bit under five feet IN height.
Both MacMut and MaeJef are
with the Kilties' band who will
probably appear here soon in
concert. MacMut acts IN the
capacity Of giant drum-ma1or
with the organization and McJef
lis their chief bag-piper. They
both. like all other members of
the Kilties, wear short tar
tain skirts called kits white
wash brushes suspended from
their belts by short straps called
spoarans, coal-hoddish looking
feather bonnets called "busbies''
and the whole party Of distin-
guished musicians have the nerve
to go on the street with their
knees bare. Their unique cos
tune is known as the Scotch
Highland dress.

RATION FOR new
RICE CROP.
Beaumont. Texas, March q

-&%EAIZE
Beaumont, Texas, March =
Increased activity in prepare
tons for the new rice crop has
marked the past week, although
in many parts of the rice belt
farmers have found it difficult to
pillow on account of the loW-lying
lands being still too wet. a con-
siderable percentage Of the land
thus far prepared has b g e n
ploWed under adverse conditions,
and it is hardly likely that it will
be possible. under even the best
possible weather conditions from
now on, to put in the crop either
in season or with a reasonable
outlook for the best results.
Based on the expectations of
individual farmers. a slight IN
crease in acreage seemed likely
at the beginning of the year, on
account of the favorable prices
and the fair crop of last year,
but many conditions have arisen
that now seem likely to keep the
planting within the average of
the past two years. Men who
have usually been right in their
estimates at this season do not
look for a material change il
acreage.
Seed rice is in good demand,
and imported seed is very scarce.
Japan seed rice, free from red,
grown from imported seed, is
now selling as high as SIS a bar
rel. f. Q. b. shipping point,
although it is procurable at
lower prices. On account of the
scarcity Of frst-class seed and
Its high price, it seems likely
that more than the usual amount
@a|.@a
of inferior seed will be planted
this spring.
Bankers throughout the three
rice states say that there is more
real money in the possession
of rice farmers now than in 9
number Of years, and that there
is less demand for advances than
ever before.
The late spring and the pres
ent uncertainty as to the weather
for planting are conapiring t.
cut down the acreage Of potatoes,
corn, cane and cotton in the rice
belt.
