BIC REHEARSAL
BRINGS OUT II
NEW CRACKERS
Four Members Of H0Id Guard"
Also Take Part in Fast Aft
ernoon Practice.
BY o. B. Keller.

TFTEEN Crackers, plus Billy
Smith, held a dress rehearsal
out at the ball park yesterday
and got away in fine style, although
there may be some creaking joints in
camp to-day.
But they did have a good time Il
it-and a good, stiff workout al
though time was called for more than
half an hour to give the sun another
chance to WALTON some weeping
clouds that threatened to dampen the
festivities.
MCCONNELL and Schwind and
kircher, of the new hands. ana
Tommy Long and Nixon and Manush
and Price, of the old guard-and the
brothers Walsh and Perryman and
Doescher and Lawrence and Lynch,
just in from Oakland, Cal (and hot
even in spangles) and Munich and
Amason and BrOWning-quite a squad
II was, and they went 10 it with a
will.
Sore arms to-day-what?
M ELL take another chance on ex-
" panding Schwind's hat and re-
mark that Il NJ. Jennings desires the
job of shortstopping on the Atlanta
ball club this year he would better
bob up and hop around a trifle. Judg-
ing by Mr.. Schwind's recent practice
demonstrations, he will have to hit
only about 1858 to get a job. And we
might knock a couple OF points off
even that modest figure.

four months, and admitted the same

A FEW more notes.
This Munich has fine arm
and handles himself very much like

Answer; Pretty well, in practice.
The Walsh brothers will make some
minor league manager happy this sea-
son. They are not quite ripe FOR
Glass A, maybe but they look good.
Same goes for Amason. 4 year of
seasoning ought TO make this big hog
into a large caliber first baseman.

New Rule
on Counting
Points.

of the field and track events good
for 4 points in place Of 8, as hereto
fore. Third place is given points
henceforth, fourth place 2 and fifth
place l. Thus the total number of
points that each event will count is
Is, whereas formerly the total was
but IL.
1t is difficult to say as yet how this
change will affect the prospects of
the various college track teams for
the coming meet. OF course, the
change will not affect in the slight
est the number of points each col
lege is counting on tallying as the
result of any of their men winning
a first in any event; but you can
count on it that they are all going
TO look mighty sharply from this on
to the proper shaping up of their
second, third, fourth and fifth string
stuff, for it is all too likely that, as
between Pennsylvania, Harvard and
Cornell at least, the meet is likely
to go to that team which corrals the
greatest number of points from
places after the first position in the
various events.
This award of additional points is
also going to make the athletes
themselves work harder, for there is
now more chance of scoring some
thing at least in any given event
But there really should be more
of distinction between a first and
a second in any track event than is
indicated by the figures five and
four. If the other places are re.
spectively worth four, three, two and
one, then, beyond all argument. first
place is worth at least six. | ven.

We will some day find the rule.

CFrom the Boston Herald.)

'From the Boston Herald.)
Not only in Vermont, where the Car
negie foundation survey has been
stirring the inmost valleys, not only in
New Hamshire, whore tho larger cit
les are discussing technical high
schools, but in our own State, where
the board of education is making a
special study of the rural scholar, ex-
perts are urging that we educate for
life" No better motto could be let
tered on a schoolhouse. But life
needs more explanation han it gets,
even from our own State board.
We all trea. the nearest thing7 as il
they were the realest. Wages. debts,
pie and coffee, machinery II house
lots get more notice han the laws of
nature, the page of history, the bare
principles of conduct. Perhaps it Is
well that the closer aspects of life are
the clearer.
Yet every boy, as n member of his
race, ought to know at least in outline
the larger wonder of the world he has
entered, Ia long road his kind has
travelled, the interests that can draw
him from himself and make him more
the friend than the drudge of his fell
lows. To tell a boy of roads and hens,
looms and motors, is to do him no
small favor. but to paint these things
as real life is to BLIND him to his birth
rights. In fairness to the child and to
his parents. let the experts call n
chore a chore and a job a job. And
in these days Of ndustrialism on the
one side and mere aestheticism on the
other. every teacher should be taking
double pains to keep both girls and
boys reminded of what they well know
by themselves-that real life stands
/ not so much In technical abilities, how
ever much to be desired, as In outlook

VERMONT NOTES.
sturgeon Can Not lie Taken from
~Chnmpinin This Scnson.

The r.. S. commissioner of fish and
fisheries has recommended that, owing
to the rapid determination of sturgeon
in all waters throughout the country,
they be protected for at least five
years, and acting in accordance with
this recommendation state Commits
stone Titcomb has decided to issue no
licenses for the taking of sturgeon
from Lake Champlain during the APP
preaching season. The sturgeon Is not
only valuable for the edible qualities
of its flesh, but especially for the roe
which is used In making caviare. AL
most all the pure caviare sold in this
country is imported. A good substi-
tute for imported caviare is made
from the roe of the %spoon-bill catfish
which is quite abundant in southern
waters and is absolutely of no com
mercial value except for the roe.
