TENNIS RULE CHANGES.
Startling Innovation is Favored by
Anthony Wildino.

At the annual meeting of the United
States Lawn Tennis association. Fri
day. new rules defining the amateur
and the foot-fault in service will be
considered. Some attempt will be made
TO enact rules conforming to those re-
Gently adopted by the International
Lawn Tennis federation.
In this connection players in general
will be surprised to learn that An
thony Wilding, worlds singles cham
picn, advocates changing the service
rule To hut one serve i'm place of the
double chance now permitted by the
rules. He recently wrote To an Eng
lish tennis authority his views on the
subject which summarized show that
Wilding believes that there is uni
versal demand for speeding up the
game at all points. He considers that
the substitution of ono service for two
would not only shorten sets but would
improve the general standard of serv-
ice. The player who hits more or less
blindly at his first effort conscious that
its failure need not necessarily bar him
from within the point, would be
forced to cultivate more restraint and
therefore more skill in placing his de-
livery. Thus he contends that the
service of the average player. now
often loose and Improbable. must es-
sentiaIly improve, since greater care
would he expended on its delivery.

JOHNNY. EVERS DEPOSED AS

HE DECLARES He WILL NOT

Chicago, H., Feb. 1l.-Johnny E,vers

cording To a statement given out by
Charles w. Murphy's office here. Ii

Cub Office here ana released" early
last evening i'm a telegram which Muir
ply sent to Secretary Thomas.
The statement gave no reason for
the change further than saying that
O'Day had made a good showing with
the Cincinnati club in 1912.
Differences between Murphy and
Evers have existed ever since the mid
die of last season and at one time
the story was printed that both Evers
and Joe Tinker, then manager of Gin
cinnati, were destined to lose their
Jobs. Tinker was removed from the
Cincinnati position early this winter

The story
The loss of the city series to the
White Sox last fall was blamed on
Evers by Murphy, who thought good
baseball judgment on the part of the
Cubs manager would have given them
the winners end.

Intentional grounding of a forward

ONLY REAL CHANGE
IN FOOTBALL RULES
ADVISED BY "HURRY UP"

Ann Arbor, Mich, Feb. 1l,-While
Coach Fielding IL. Yost did not sug-
gest any changes in football rules at
the New York meeting last week. the
rule providing n ten-yard penalty for
the intentional grounding of forward
pass is exactly in accord with the sug-
gestion he made at the meeting year
ago. At that time the play had not been
seen in the east and the eastern
coaches were then unable to UNDER
stand why such precaution was nee
essary. The play was brought out ior
the first time last fall in the Army ana

peas will be experimental with. There
will be 20 different fields of each crop
Each field will be irrigated at differ
ent times, and careful record will
be kept of the soil moisture, of the
amount of water applied and of the
yield produced in order to determine
the specific stage or stages of growth
at which the different crops should
best be irrigated.
Duty of water experiments will not
be conducted on this station as this
problem has been worked out for the
soils of this project. Irrigators over
the entire west during the past few
years have begun to realize that the
stage OF growth at which crops should
be irrigated is more important than
any other phase of irrigation, and the
extensive duty of water experiments
that have been carried on in Idaho
have demonstrated their lack of know
ledge of this factor. 1t is thought that
the initiation of this station at this
time is opportune, and that results
cannot help being secured that will
mean greatly increased crop pro-
duction on all irrigated land-States-

WORK AT STATION
Don II. Bark Here to Plan Work at
Experiment Farm.

Don H. Bark left Friday evening for
Twin Falls to make arrangements for
the coming years work at the new
experiment station which was locat-
ed at that place last fall The station
has been exceedingly fortunate, Mr..
Bark believes, in securing Earl Beck
who has been allied with him in the
duty of water experiments for the
past four years. Mr. Beck is a gradu-
ate from one of the agricultural
courses at the state anniversary, and
he is not new to Idaho, for he at one
time operated farm for himself on
the south side Twin Falls tract With
his extensive training and broad, var
led experience it is believed that no
better man than Beck could have been
picked as superintendent, Mr.. Bark
says.
This station is nominally a govern
ment station, operated by the irriga-
ton Investigations branch of the Unit
ed States department of agriculture,
but 1t is we'll supported financially by
local organizations, without whose
support sufficient funds would not
have been available for the operation
of the station. The Twin Falls Canal
company, the county commissioners
OF Twin Falls county and the CONNER
cial club of the city of Twin Falls
have all contributed literally toward
the establishment and maintenance of
the station,
The site secured for the station is
situated on the Twin Falls-Kimberly
road, which is one of the main thor
oughfares of the country and is enc
and one-half miles east of the city of
Twin Falls. The location is one of the
best obtinable on the project as it il,
SO centrally located that it is easily
accessible. 1t is hoped that many hun
dreds of farmers and visitors will
avail themselves of the opportunity Of
fered of observation at the experiment
station.
This station is bound to produce re-
suits that will be eminently benefit
cial to the irrigators of the state of
Idaho, and to the whole west in gem
eral, Mr.. Bark believes, for it is plan
ned to devote the experiment station
exclusively to the proving of one of
the most vital but troublesome fac
tors that confronts all irrigators,
namely, the stage of growth at which
the stable crops of Idaho should be
irrigated in order to secure the lar
gest quantity Of the best possible quail
ity of crop. The station has already
been divided into 200 small fields of

Ject. A set of bylaws were adopted
for the canal company under which
to operate in the future, whether I'M
der the control of the construction
company or their assigns, or under the
control of the settlers. The bylaws
are the work of Judge Hays, and are
designed to give the company one of
the best best set of governing rules
that has ever been devised. They will
be published in full in the near future.
The directors of the settlers asso-
citation were present at the meeting,
but owing to the brief time available
after the routine business had been
transacted, were unable to take up the
matter for which they had come: ;
namely, the delivery of water during
the coming season under an entirely
different plan than has been in use in
the past At meeting of the direct
ors late Monday afternoon a resolution
was adopted to the effects that the OPP
perating company must be prepared to
deliver water to the settlers at such
times as they require it, between the
dates of April LIST and November list
of each year. The attorney for the
association has been advised of this
stand, and is directed to put the re-
quirements of the board into effect if
1t is possible to do so. The board feels
the necessity of obtaining water for
the settlers at such times as the set
tiers need it, and not at such times
as an arbitrary system of delivery per-
mits them to obtain It,
At special meeting of the directors
or the Salmon River Canal company
the assessment for the year 1914 was
fixed at SOC per acre. An announce
ment to this effect appears elsewhere

M. Bowen, the settlers attorney. Mr.
Bowen will probably make a report
upon it later.
Arrangements have been made
whereby preference is to be given to
the settlers in employing men AMI
teams to do repair work on the sys-
tenn, and settlers DESTROYS of doing
such work and to have their wages ap-
piled on their maintenance, are re-
quested to communicate with e. B.
Darlington, Waster Master, HOLSTER.
Repair outfits will be operated in all
sections of the tract, SO that work can
probably be arranged close to the
homes of the settlers desiring such
work.-Hollister Herald

in this issue. Many settlers have
been of the opinion that the canal
company could not make an assess
ment of over 35c per acre, they having
obtained this idea from the wording of
the contract between the entryman
, and the construction company, which
is as follows: Said Salmon River
Canal Company, Limited, agrees
that no charge be made for the deliv-
cry of water from this date June /,
190S) until after the first day of June,
1911, and that thereafter the annual
charge for maintenance shall not dur
ing the period prescribed in the state
contract exceed the sum of 35c for
each and every acre" The "joker,"
1t will be readily seen, lies in the
words, during the period prescribed
In the state contract" the state con-
tract containing the provision that in
case the maintenance raised by the as
sessment of 35c on each acre of land
shall be insufficient prior of Janu-
airy l, 1913, for the purpose of main
tanning, operating and keeping in re-
pair said system and paying the ex-
penses Of the management thereof,
then said second party will furnish
the additional funds necessary to sup
ply such deficiency" but that latter
said date the actual cost of mainten-
ance is to be paid by the settler" This
means simply that after January l.,
1913, the company charge for main
tenance any sum that they deem it
necessary to expend in the operation
OF the system, and it so happens that
soc per acre is the call for 1914 The
Herald has been advised that a detail
ed account of how this assessment is
figured has been furnished to Arthur
