people of both islands will wish her good
fortune in the work that lies before her.
In q recent article about the relation be-
tween high-cloud movements and cyclones
in the West Indies it was pointed out:
1. That the lower air over the West In
dies moves as a rule from an easterly point,
while on upper layer, five or six miles above
the surface, moves as a rule from o westerly
point.
2. That these movements are liable to
Interruptions, chiefly occurring in the hur-
ricane season, namely the months of July,
August, September, and October.
3. That these interruptions in the case
of the lower air are obvious, tut in the case
of the higher air can only be told by the
movements of the high clouds, which, like
chips on a sheet of water, serve to Indicate
the direction of the current.
4. That changes in the high-cloud
movements have long ago been observed,
but have commonly been put down rs ire
gularities. It would seem that they were
regarded as school boys out for a long sum

they would.

Mike DonIin to Quit
Playing Ball Forever

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Feb. 22.-Man.
ager Doom has about made up his mind
that he will have to do without Donlin
for the season, as the versatile Mike
has informed him by letter that he be-
lieves that he will retire from the game
and stick to vaudeville.
"Donlin's theatrical engagements will
carry him well into April" said Doom
today, land the season will be so far
advanced that ] can see no chance OF
him getting into condition for US this
year, and IL he stops now I do not be-
lieve that he will ever play baseball
again.
Il had hoped 10 use him regularly and
put Magee on first base and retain Lu-
derus as substitute. but now all this will
have to be changed for after we get
going ! will not break up strong COM
bination even should Donlin reconsider

Donlin would not be blacklisted for
failure to report to the Phiiiies. He
would simply be carried on the reserve

as organized baseball is concerned would

CAROLINA RELAYERS
WILL RUN At MEET
Tar Heel Four Will Appear in
Georgetown's Gathering at
Convention Hall March l.

The two-mile relay team Of North
Carolina University will meet either
Carlisle or Johns Hopkins at the big
Georgtown University games, which are
to be held in Convention Hall on March
l. The Tar Heels are expected to have
one Of the fastest two-mile aggregations
in the South, and no matter who their
opponent may be, should be able to
give an interesting exhibition. Johns
Hopkins will more than likely be their
opponent as keen rivalry exists between
the two institutions. and a race btween
them should prove good drawing card.
The Monumental City squad boasts of
several high class half-milers. and
should be able to muster a first class
troupe Of speed merchants to represent
them against North Carolina. Carlisle
may be invited to participate In the
race. even though Johns Hopkins decides
to enter a team; and in case Johns Hop
kins fails to accept the Hilltoppers'
invitation, the Government school
