Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. February
ei.-Manager Thernhill Of the Virginia
base bali team announced tonight that
everything was In readiness at this end
for thS arrival of the advance guard
Of the Nationals, and that everything
would be done to make them comfort
able when they got here.
Mrs. Reedy, who has turned her house
over To them during the training sea-
son. said that she had the rooms ready
for the men to occupy tonight II they
came In, and that she could assure
them every comfort. This house. which
is q twe-story frame. Is in probably
the most convenient location in the
university grounds. under the cfrcum-
stances. Just being half way between
the gymnasium and Lambeth Field. and
only q short walk from Saunders,
where the squad will take Its meals.
The rooms are unusually large, and by
having the men double up In some OF
them Mrs. Reedy says she will be able
to accommodate about sixteen. Only
fourteen will arrive Monday, so they
will all go to her house.
The arrangements for the dressing
room will be the same as in past years;
side the cage while the professionals
will have the larger room outside, and
nearer the showers. This will prevent
the inconvenience of having their things
mixed up with those used by the
students. A clubhouse just outside the
entrance to the field Is in the course
Of construction now, but 1t will hardly
be ready for use during the present
season. This will coptain large Dress
ing rooms and showers, and will be
a great improvement over the rooms at
the gymnasium. The showers at the
gym have al been put in good condi-
crease the supply Of hot water. Here
tofore when the Nationals used the
baths in the morning and again in the
afternoon the hot water generally ran
short before the college team came up
from the field. A large net has been
put around the walls in the gymnasium
for use in bad weather. and this will
also be an Improvement over last year
when the players always had to be
careful for fear Of breaking a window.
Walker. the champion rubber Of the
south. will be on hand to take the kinks
out of the stiff arms and muscles. and

held has practically dried out, though the
surrounding ground is a sea Of mud. II
the weather continues as 1t has for the
past two days there will be no necessity
for the visitors to stay in the gymnasium
unless more rain or snow comes along.
All the low places on the diamond have
been hlled In little, and the one bare
spot In the outfield. which was filled In
with clay last year.. has disappeared.
About i've batting cages have been made
and Will be ready for use as soon as the
men go out on the field.
The arrangement with the college team
will be about the same as last year in
regard to the use Of the field. The pro-
fesstonals are to have 1t exclusively all
the morning. and In the afternoon until
the collegians come out. There is an
other field just below Lambeth Field

the late afternoon. and although it is

The Montreal team OF the International
League. which has trained here with
the Nationals for the past two sea
sons, will not come down this year,

The latter wanted II to have the lower
field put in proper condition for playing
and to play a certain number Of exhibi-
ton games with the college team. but
the Montreal management would not ac-
to be asking too much Of the Canadians,
In view Of the fact that they were not
required to pay for the use Of the grounds
and gymnasium. but their management
evidently thought otherwise. However. ii
is probably just as well that they made
such a decision. as three large squads
using the same field would tend to make
matters rather congeSted.

Southlands Again Lead.

The leadership Of the Southwest League
has again changed hands. and the South
lands are now out in front. The Saliva
doris have a five-game margin on their
closest rivals in the Carroll Council cir
cult, while Agriculture is practically the
winner in the Departmental Tenpin
League. The other tenpin organization,
though, Is seeing hot fight. the Pioneers
and Manhattans running almost neck and
neck for the honor. Only a two-game
margin separates the Blues from the
Whites in the Westminster. and Carroll
is leading the Intercouncil League with
the same distance between 1t and the
runner-up.
Law is having a hard time holding to
first place in the Southern Railway
Clerks circuit. being in front by game
and q half. The Johnsons seem to have
things their own way In the Spalding
Council, There Is not much difference In
the strength Of the General Superintend-
ents' team and the Storeroom aggrega-
ton in the Pepco League. and they are
showing it by the close race they are put
ting up. Auditors and Southern are run
ming away from the rest Of the teams in
the Terminal Railroad. but the two
teams themselves are having quite q
struggle Engineers are going we'll In
the Patent Examiners circuit. being In
front by big lot.

RACES IN VARIOUS BOWLING
LEAGUES NARROWING DOWN
Easy to Select Almost Certain Winners in Many of
the Organizations Close Races Are Still to Be
Seen in Some of the Circuits, Though.

The races in several Of the Downing
leagues are drawing down to points where
it can almost be determined just what
team will be the winner. In those cir
cults in which one quint has not a de-
cided advantage there are two which have
gone out in front of the others, the decis-
ion as to the title resting entirely De-
tween them.
The games won by the 7. NJ. c. A. hve
in the National Capital League in the last
month have placed it where it has almost
a cinch hold on the championship. 1t Is
hard to see how it is possible for any
other club to beat out the association
men now. Palace Is running second. with
the Brunswicks a poor third. The Sher-
woods have quite q lead In the Arcade
League, and the Jeds have the margin so
far on the other clubs in the District cir
cult. The Arcadians and Bankers are
after the Sherwoods, while the ROYALS
and Belmonts are second and third IN
the District.
The Miscellaneous Shop has proved u
self much stronger than the other CUNTS
in the Navy Yard League, being away out
in the lead by margin OF ten games.

dropped three to the 1Abattoir club. ana

USE SOME SENSE

City Engineer F. w. Cappelen
to-day appealed to the people of
Minneapolis to assist in keeping
the streets clean.
"Use some sense and refrain from
throwing papers and rubbish in
the Streets" said Mr.. Cappelen.
getty crews are making every eff
fort to clean the streets and walks
and keep them in the best posi-
BILE condition. SO long as unthink-
ing people throw discarded news
papers and similar things in the
street, the unkempt appearances
will continue despite t e be s t
work of the street crews.-Minne-
apolis Tribune.
What applies to Minneapolis ap-
plies equally well to River Falls.
Our city has not, of course. done
it's Spring housekeeping but its
present untidy appearance is not
wholly due to the winters ashes
and dirt. People are careless about
dropping paper bags peanut shells,
orange Feelings, etc. School child
rem tear their block papers to bits
and scatter them to the winds.
Now let all of us-children and
grown-ups-put on our thinking
caps and remember not to do these
things. We have gained the repu-
tation of being one of the best
kept cities in the state, and We
must live up to our reputation.

The plan is this; any Boy or Girl
who wants to enter the contest
can do so by calling at the store

a package you take the label off
and write your name on the back
and when you want more come
back and pay for what you have
sold and get more. We drop the
liable into a barrel in the store,
fixed up for that purpose.
Then, on the 18th day of May we
will have a disinterested person
open the barrel and count the
labels. The boy or girl who has
most labels gets the automobile
FREE.
Anyone can start after Monday
if they want to but they will not
have an equal ch ance with the
ones who start at the beginning

limited to the city; the country
boys and girls may enter, as there
is no limit to territory.

Prescott was honored on Friday
by a visit from Lieutenant Cover
nor Morris of La Crosse. Mr.. Nor
ris came to further his candidacy
for the Republican nomination as
United States Senator. He reports
that his reception in Pierce county
was most friendly one and that
his candidacy seems to be meeting
with much favor over the state. Mr.
Morris threw his hat into the ring
for the senatorship early in the pc
litical season and has been quite
aggressive in his campaigning. He
is of a pleasing personality and
his record as public officer marks
him as a capable servant of the
people. He has always been an
ardent follower of La Toilette and
reported to the Tribune that he saw
no reason why he should change
his views. State Senator George
9 Skogmo and Mrs. Skogmo and
Mrs. Crabtree, wife of the President
of the River Falls Normal, we're in
the party which accompanied Mr..
Morris from River Falls to Pres
colt Prescott Tribune.
