e. I. Game Helped g. 4.

The Virginia Guint plainly showed the
effects of their Eruelling contest with
Catholic University in their contest with
Georgetown Saturday night. The men
did not show that vim and dash which
characterized their work the night be-
fore. While II would not be conserva-
tive to say that Virginia would have de-
feated the Blue and Gray had they gone
into the battle fresh, yet it is quite prob
able.
To one who has followed the Virginia
team all season. the work of Saturday
night was a complete disappointment In
no game that the Charlottesville Guint
has taken part in this season has it
showed up so poorly. Their passing was
poor compared to what the team has
been doing. and the work of the two
guards. whose work has been the feature
of all Nirginia's games, was also below
standard. 1t was plainly case of two
much work the night before.

Will Improve Scoring Rules.

Tommy Rice. the baseball writer on
the Brooklyn Eagle. who has just been
appointed by the Baseball Writers Asso-
c!ation to the committee TO revise the
scoring rules, had the following to say
anent the matter prior to his election:
Billy Weart. secretary OF the Baseball
Writers Association, will propose a really
human scheme to-day at the meeting of
the Baseball Writes Association in the
NcAlpin. 1t is that the writer's appoint
committee Of three reporters of ac-
knowledged standing and acumen, resid-
ing in the same or nearby cities, who
shall take the scoring rules in hand and
relieve them OF their antiquities and un-
certainties. Billy would have the COM
mitteemen paid a reasonable wage for
their time and trouble. and would give
them a whole season on the job. They
will commune with the profession. watch
the daily papers and two baseball week
lies. note sensible queries by Old Sub
scriber. Anxious Fan. and the rest of
the brotherhood Of perplexed letter-writ-
ers. and use those questions as a work.
Ing basis on which to reform the rules
of scoring. 1t is perfectly obvious that
when a question arises that puzzles a
sporting editor or causes a difference of
opinion among recognized experts, that
the rules are weak in that spot. That
Plan and an exactly similar action
in regard to the playing rules have
Leen advocated by the present writer for
many years. and while they have been
approved by the magnates. the newspaper
men and the national commission. no.
body has ever taken any step to go
through with them.
Garry Hermann. chairman of the Ma
tional Commission. said that while II was
too late to tinker with the rules this
year. the commission would surely ap-
point a committee to clear up the code
by 1914. if we all live and nothing hap
pens-and the commission does not pro-
crastinate several years more.

MUST GET GOOD JOBS TO

They tell a funny story about
one Of the great European ath-
letes who scored heavily in the
Olympic games at Stockholm.
This athlete was approached
by the manager of a New York
club. who asked IL he'd like to
come to America and compete
here under the club colors.
The athlete thought it over,
and decided that he would. pro-
vided the club would find him a
good job.
what sort of a job do you
want?" asked the manager.
iii have to think it over and
consult some of my friends"
said the athlete. This is too
important to settle now. I'll see
you tomorrow"
The manager waited overnight
anxiously. Il suppose that fell

The athlete came around early
next day.

with your friends?" asked the
manager.
Yes"
And have you decided what
job you want us to get your"
Yes. I want to run an ele-

When an Ecuador Indian wants a

thick bark. This is dampened and
beaten until the hcxibility Of the
sheet is much increased. The rough,

peal Of the various woman's clubs
that the moving pictures exhibited in

duty requires that she see every new

A trancient negro appeared at the
back door of Mrs. Whiting Ames
Tuesday and asked Mrs. Ames, who
answered his rap, for something TO
eat. ON being told hal she had
nothing to give him, he became enr ag-
ed and whipped out a big knife which
he attempted to use on the lady, See
ing his intention, she jumped back and
slammed the door in his face none too
soon to save herself from the blows
aimed at her by the vicious brute. who,
seeing that his attempts to gam an
entrance into the house we're unavaiI-
ing. made haste to get away In this
he was successful. The officers we're
notified and they made a search for
the negro but without success. Onc
arrest was made but he proved to be
the wrong man.

and black, stop off here. If a few Of
these were arrested for vagraucy and
put to work on the county farm or on

relieved Of a great annoyance and an
occasional danger such as Mrs. Ames

HIGH SEAS.

The high seas embrace the open
sea so far as it is not the exclusive
property of any particular country.
The rule of international law is
that every country bordering on the
sea has the exclusive sovereignty
over such sea to the extent
of three miles from its shores,
but all beyond, not within three
miles of some other country, is open
or common to all countries. The
part Of the sea within three miles
distance is generally called the terri
torial sea of the particular country,
or "mare clausum." The distinction
has little effect on the right Of
navigation, but as regards fishing it
is otherwise. Thus, foreign fisher
men have no right to fish within
three miles of the British coast with
out a license from the crown, or I'M
less some special treaty has laid
down other arrangements.
