May Add Syracuse.

New York, Jan. 17.-With the ap 1 proaeh of the annual meeting of thu intercollegiate Association of Anna | teur Athletics of America, Sayracuse has come to the front as a candidate for holding the thirty-ninth annua meet.
 Syracuse has been an active claim. ant for the last thre years, but ir spite of one favorable recommenda- tor by the Executive Committee, al- ways has been turned down by the association which has established the prcednt that until some university centrally located and with a suit a,le field, is willing to manage the games they shall alternate between Harvard and Pennsylvania.
 There is only one serious objection to giving the games to Syracuse. That is the fact that the up-Staters do not have suitable 22O-yard straightaway track. The Syracuse estadium is SC constructed that races of 22O yards in length must start. in a chute and finish beneath the stands.
 It is not only that the spectators cannot see the start nor the finish but that the race must finish in a chute lighted by electricity. No ath- lete relishes the idea of plunging full speed into a dark cavern, and the necessity for doing this is enough to cause nearly all universities to vote against Syracuse.
 The objection is not so much to tine fact that spectators cannot see the finish, because they are handi- capped in this regard both at Har- yard and Pennsylvania. The neces- sity of finishing in a chute with the aid of electric light is certain to slow up any runner, and even might reseult in an accident.
 Colleges are no longer subject to the superstitution that the team on whose ground the meet is held has n better chance. The only possible aid in holding the games on the home grounds is that the railroad journey is eliminated.

CARE OF SCHOOLS

Little Rock, Jan. 17.-B. w. Torry- son, supervisor of Secondary Educa- tion, in a circular just issued, says
 ''1n my visits to high schools dur ing the fall l have been impressed by the neglect of attention to cleanli- ness and tidiness in buildings and grounds as we'll as by seeming in- difference to the unsanitary condition of toilets. While many of the schools visited were perfectly clean and in ali respects models of neatness and comfort, in a majority of them the work of the janitor appeared to have been done in a very slowly way or not done at all." Te then gives twelve rules to be followed in the proper care of school grounds and buildings.

champions are usually beaten and for gotten before they get anywhere. Just about the time some big fellow begins to look good some one else comes along and whips him, and then, in turn is whipped by some one else.
 q think Gunboat Smith is good man, so is Battling Levinsky and a score of others, but I hope no one will charge me with egotism when I say that these men would not have shone very brightly in the days of Sullivan, Mccoy, Fitz Simmons, and a number of others, including myself.

Corbett Raps Heayies.

New York, Jan. 17.-James J. Cor belt. past master of heavyweight box CTS has just verbally upper-cut the present crop of white hopes. The former champion looked back to the days of Sullivan, Mccoy, Fitzsim- mons, and, of course, himself. and then summed up the situation by as- serting that he deplored the fact there is little encouragement to be had from the heavyweights of the present day.
 "Gentleman Jim" admitted there are a number of good men, but assert ed there is no one among them who stands out s a champion in the sense of the word, as it was accepted ten years ago.
 Corbett spoke of the present crop of white hopes as follows:
 q do not want anyone to think that I am living in an age gone by when I express the opinion that tht fighting game today is not what I was in the days when was fighter No one is more anxious than myself

Suspicion Ban Johnson

New York, Jan. 1.-The address of welcome for the Federal League handed out by President Ban John- son, of the American League, has caused suspicion in the minds of many wise leaders in the national sport that there is some kind of an understanding between the head of young major league and the new or ganization.
 From the wording of the famous address regarding the undesirables nov in the game and the benefits the new league could bring about by driving the undesirables out, the sus- picious ones have good reason fc1 their position.
 There is aboundant reason for thinking that one undesirable" on Johnson's list is Charles Murphy Ever since Murphy became the head of the Chicago National League club Johnson's dislike has grown until now it is something akin to hatred l The Federals are going to hurt the patronage of the West Siders as mucr as they will any one if they succeed

The Sophomores of Howard High

nual Christmas play for the benefit
of local charity. Il has always been
the custom Of the Sophomores to en-
terrain the school at a Christmas play,
usually given on the afternoon before
Christmas. and no admission charged.
But in the present condition of need.
with all the demands made upon the
private individual for aid and SYM
pathy, the Sophomores felt that it
would be a waste OF their genius not
to capitalize it. SO the Christmas play
at Howard High School will be given
in the school tomorrow evening. and
an admission of ten cents charged. D.
The play represents a departure
from the usual play. It is a Western
play of the most approved type. with

XMAS IN THE AIR
At FREE Library
Pictures Showing the First
Christmas and Other Views
Appropriate to Holiday
NOT MANY PATRONS
USED THE MESSENGERS

Christmas is in the air at the Free
Library as well as elsewhere. On the
bulletin board will be found pictures
showing The First Christmas, Christmas
in Song and Story, Christmas in the
Olden Times and The Modern Christmas
These pictures are much better than
many that appear on the bulletin board
and will warrant a special visit to the
library to see them.
Books make splendid Christmas pres
ents, especially for children. For those
who wish suggestions the Free Library
has compiled a list of suitable books
which has been printed and copies Of
which can be obtained free at the loan
desk. In this list only the best edi-
tions OF standard books have been in
cluded.
On Christmas Day the library will be
closed as has been customary in the
past
Sometime ago the library started
what is called its 'Made in Wilmington"
file OF trade catalogues, and the various
manufacturers in the city were asked to
send to the library the publications
which advertised their wares. So far as

list of all the articles manufactured
in the city. In the course of time the
library hopes to make this list complete
so that at any time anybody inquiring
can find out what articles are made in
the city The catalogues will be care
fully indexed and filed and win be avail
able for consultation at any time.
Owing to the small use that was made
of the messenger service started by the
library a year ago, it will be given up
on the first of January. This service
was established for the benefit of those
who were shut in and for those who did
not have time TO come to the library.
il was hoped that at least three OF four
persons a day would make use of it.
As matter of fact it frequently hap
pens that only one person a week will
make use of the messenger service. The
small demand, coupled with the fact
that the service is not self-supportng,
makes it imperative upon the board
Of managers to withdraw this privilege.

THROUGH rail Route
FOR Shore Fishermen

BALTIMORE, Nd, Dec. 21.-The
crab, fish and oyster industry of the
Eastern Shore of Maryland was given
a big boost Saturday according to the
general belief. by the opinion handed
down Saturday morning by the Inter-
state Commission ordering the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad to establish
through routes and joint rates with
the Eastern Shore Development &
Steamship Company at landings on
the Chesapeake Bay. The Commission
took the view that the refusal of the
road to grant such privileges was un-
reasonable.
The decision was the outcome of
fight the steamship company inaugur-
ated soon after its establishment, two
years ago, which eliminated in a hear
ing before the Commission in Wash
ington last July. Harry e. Karr, gen.
eralaoounsel of the steamship conf
pany, in discussing the decision,
said: ilet
1T will mean a great saving of time
TO Eastern Shore firms in shipping
their products to 4the Western cities
and a considerable saving of expense
in the cost of carrying the goods"
