The Colorado statesman., 1913-03-08

With the filing of his will at Mimi
cola, L. l., for probate it became
known that James Hammond, an
Oyster Bay negro. left an estate esti-
mated at $4,000. Hammond could
not read or write. His will is signed
with his mark. He was upward of 70
years old. and for fifty years had been
employed on the Weeks estate. The
will was made the day before his
death 1t leaves $4,000 to his friend
James Scudder, the same amount to
Sarah Mayhem Scudder, $4,000 to
Bertha Edith Hammond, his daughters,
and 81 each to number of nephews.
How many of them there are he did
not know, as he had not heard from
them in years, and they may all be
dead. The three who receive direct
bequests are the residuary legatees.

Blue and Gray Track Coach
Thinks Horter Will Do We'll.
To Run F0rdham.

Manager Darr of the Georgetown track
team announced last evening that he i'm
tended to enter the track team at the
Fordham meet, in New York city, Febru-
airy %. This is the first time in long
while that Georgetown has been repre-
scented at the Fordham meetr. This will
be the last meet that Georgetown will
enter before the big annual affair that IS
held at Convention Hall March /.
Only the relay team and about four
extra men will make the trip to Ford
ham, Only the four leading men
will make the trip. The relay team will
run against Fordham. Usually the New
York school turns out wonderful relay
team, and, as the Georgetown team will
need such a race before meeting Vir-
ginia the following Saturday, it will
serve to be of great help to the local
relay team.
Coach Mulligan expressed himself as
being well pleased with the showing made
so far by Eddie Horter. HOrter entered
Georgetown from the Central Manual
Training School of Philadelphia. At this
high school young Horter performed in
a manner that caused considerable no.
toriety. He is running only the sprints,
and it is claimed that he will make a
great showing in the coming meets. He
and also the 220-yard run.
Word has been received at the hilltop
that Eddie Bemis, who acted as assistant
coach of the foot ball team at George
town during the past fall, would be one
of the assistant coaches at Pennsylvania
next fall. Whether or not Bemis had
been asked to return to Georgetown next
fall is not known, but in a letter to one
of those in charge at the hilltop he stated
that he has an offer from the Penn author
tiles to return to his alma mater to help
whip a team together that will make a
good showing.
Manager Barrett of the Blue and Gray
foot ball team stated that he expected to
have the Army on his schedule for next
fall. He has already booked the Navy
team for October II, and when 1t was
learned that the Army would also be
played much enthusiasm WAS shown on
the hilltop. 1t is doubtful whether any
other college team will meet both the
Army and Navy in one season. The
Blue and Gray team made wonderful
showing against West Point during the
fall of 1910, and many critics claimed that
Georgetown should have won the game.
The Army authorities have not forgotten
this game, and even last year they tried
to get the Blue and Gray team on their
schedule, but failed simply because no
suitable date could be agreed upon.

CARROLL COUNCIL OK. OF c. LEAGUE
HAS POOR OUTLOOK.
Lanigan Thinks Little of Chances
for Track Team at Virginia.

Special Dispatch 10 The Star
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. January
1O.-After four days practice Coach Pop
Lanigan of the Virginia track team
stated the outlook to be the poorest he
had seen in his whole career at Virginia.
I'VE really are in a terrible way. From
the half-mile up we have no kick, not
that they are very strong, but not weak
err than. usual. However, from the quar-
ter down L am scared to think.
The loss of Todd is sure to be most
keenly felt. Todd has always been con-
sistent at indoor sprinting and a GER
tainty of the relay four. Harris, a hur-
dler, remains the sole nucleus for sprint
ers, and he has always been at his best
outdoors. Maxson, the Texas sprinter,
returned to school today and will report
tomorrow. Lanigan admitted the high
hopes he is pinning Oh him.
The first of the intraschool track meets
is scheduled for Saturday a week. 1t is
in these competitions that Lanigan Sc
lects his squad for the large meets of
the year. About thirty have reported
thus far.

PITY FOR. MAGNATES
Base Ball Owners Not Pi|inq
Up Tons on Tons of Gold.
so ASSERTS CONNIE MACK
Profits Go to Improvements, Adds
Part Owner of the Phila-
delphia Athletics.
so ASSERTS CONNIE MACK

Connie Mack, manager and part owner
of the Philadelphia Athletics, laughs at
the assertion that base ball owners are
pilfng up riches, and sounds warning
that the major league clubs are spending
too much money and must retrench. AS
an example, he points to the fact that his
club has not paid cash dividend in
years, despite the fact that it has twice
won the worlds championship. He was
led to make this statement on hearing a
remark that many base ball men had re-
tired with fortunes. He said:
1.-THE only man 1 can think of who re-
tired from base bali with money is Ned
Hanlon, former manager of the Balti-
more and Brooklyn teams. Hanlon was
player, manager and club owner, and yet
when we look carefully into his case we
will find that Hanlon retired on the prof
it's which he made out of real estate
rather than the profits from base ball.
1.-The immense growth of base ball has
reached the point where it has forced the
club owners to sit up and think. The
cost of building new plants, the large in
crease in the salaries of players and the
other expenses have grown to such pro-
portions that it has become serious
question with the owners as to what is
to be done if they are going to get even
a fair interest on their investments.
1T has been several years since the
Athletics paid a dividend Here we have
been working for years for one purpose.
That was to build a park that would take
care of our patrons and then pay for it.
We planned the venture at Shibe Park
three years before we left Columbia Park,
and we have been at Shibe Park four
seasons, during two of which we We're
world $ champions.
ourselves confronted with the problem of
how we are going to i've if the expenses
of running a major league club are to be
maintained To meet the situation We
have ben compelled TO invest another
100000 at Shibe Park for the erection OF
a new bleacher in the outfied and for
changes in the old beachers in right and
left fields Instead of paying d dividend
we have been working night and day to
pay for our new park.
1.-The situation is giving minor league,
as well as major league, club owners a
lot of thought. The problem will have to
be met by each club according to it's
ideas of what is best for itself and its
patrons.
.One of the reasons for the largely in
creased outlay to run a ball club is the
rule which has caused clubs to add more
men to their roster. There was time
when sixteen men was the maximum
limit Then it went up to eighteen, and
now we are allowed to carry twenty-five
of the time. If some of the club owners
had their way We would be allowed to
carry forty-five men. How they can stand
it is more than l can see.

Wonderful" the lady EXPLAINS.
A great many inert business men have
been treating themselves like dogs. to
use this example as a criterion They
have glutted themselves to such a degree
that nothing tastes right. They have to
engineer themselves carefully to turn a
corner. They are laden with rich foods
that have been crammed into protest
ing stomach.
No physical fitness is good unless there
is natural, healthy appetite. Laying
off from food is a good thing now and
then. Going hungry is excellent. l do
not refer to absolute fasting. but to
reasonable cessation Of the feast Try
three very light meals daily-and eat the
simple things, and follow the program
for several days, and also do this every
few weeks.
After a time the spark begins to show.
there is a desire = an ambition - to do
things.
The man never lived who was greater
than his stomach. And all stomachs in
the human kind require simplicity be-
times. With too much food, taken too
often. there is little difference between
the stomach and a stagnant pond.
He who learns how to eat can then
enter upon a course of exercises and give
his body some work to do to take care
of the square meals he likes to eat.

Pierre Special TO Watertown
Public Opinion: In this day of in-s
terest over the waterpower project
at Keokuk, the possibilities Of the
Missouri river icing utilized to
irrigate fully one tenth of all of
South Dakota as well as furnish
commercial water power has been
figured out. Wherever the Missou-
ri is not more than one mile in
width from shAle bluff to shale
bluff it is feasible to dam the
stream and create a waterpower of
about25 feet head.
just within the territory of So.
Dakota there are 9 such possibili-
ties, Offering IN entirely new and
unexploited mArket for che water
power. AS the slcpe Of the stream
is about one foot per mile, such 25
#. head will raise the water for
about 25 miles up stream from the
dam. On the average bed rock is
about 45ft below water and the dam
will require tobe sunk into bedrock.
Such dams will each require from
800, 600 to 400, 900 cubic yards Of
concrete according to length re-
duired. Che points in South Ia
kota where such structures might
be built are as follows: Ft. Ran
dali, width of stream 1860 feet;
Stony Point, 1000 feet; LaRoche
Island 5000 it; American Island
51O0 #; above Big Bend 5000 !;
Rousseau 5000; Fielder 1890; Stan
ley Island 1900; Forest City 264O;
Swan Creek 1000: Blue Blanket
Island 400; Spring Greek 1900 #.
These in addition to the. much
exploited powers at Big Bend and
Little Bend. AT each of the fore
going. places about $4,000 horse
power is available ut low water,
and q very large surplus power
during the opening season. Locks
will be required at.each dam, but
they would make practically all of
the river navigable at all times
when open. Roughly speaking
the development would cost from
| 8 to $40, 600, 900 at each dam.
The surplus water power aboye
the minimum, or low water power,
| would amount to 400, 600 hp work
ing for one month, nnd if employ
ed forSthe purpose would pump #
of waterupon 800, GEO acres Of land,
against a 4OOft lift at each dam, or
for the 10 dams would water g.
900, ,0OO acres of the upland ada
cent to the Missouri.
Thus the low water power might
be reserved for commercial purpo-
ses, being deliverable every day in
the year, and the surplus devoted
toirrigatipn would take care of l.
10Th part Of the entire state of S.
OAK. With Big Bend and l.. Bend
propositions added TO this, the
acreage would be 50 increased as.to
