preparations yesterday for the Navy

nations intended especially for the
Middfes.
Oliphant logged around the field in a
warming exercise until the coaches

Peace Terms.

describe in detail all the terms Of peace
alleged to have been offered the Fed
al League by organized base ball"
President Hermann of the national
commission hurled this challenge at
President Gilmore of the Federal
League yesterday. Hermann apparent
ly was piqued over an interview cred
tied to Gilmore at Cleveland.
"If he thinks it will do his league any
good to have it known just what he
offered crgan nized base ball, and what
the latter offered in return, he is at
perfect liberty to announce all the
dealings" said Hermann.
His interview in Cleveland would
lead the fans to suspect that We had
made overtures for peace which were
very favorable to the Federal League,
and doubtless this was the intention
Of his statement. 1 am just giving him
notice that he need not refrain, through
any sense of delicacy, from making
public all he knows about peace terms
and negotiations. / doubt if he will
accept this invitation, but 1 would be
glad to see him do so.

that O'Hare and Neyland will be the Sc

chance that Herrick or even Jones may
be the final choice to flank McEwan
and Kelly. The others seem to have
been practically eliminated from first
consideration. Behind the line, where
everything was considered as being
settled, Van Fleet is making Il
splendid showing. With Hodgson,
Benedict. Oliphant. Coffin and Van
Fleet all going fast, the back
field proposition looks stronger than
ever today. AS Capt. Prichard
and Hodgson are sure of their places
the running for the two other backfield
positions narrows down to Oliphant,
Benedict, Van Fleet and Coffin. Just
now Van Fleet and Benedict look to
have the call, but how Oliphant can

Ban johnson, according to Associated
Press dispatches. proposes to go before
the club owners of the National League,
who are to meet in New York Decem-
ber s, and insist that the old league
make good its promise to rid the game
of Murphy.
The owners of clubs in both leagues
realize that Murphy's Identification
with the game is detriment. This
is particularly true Of the National
League club in Chicago and is sure to
work a hardship on the club in Phila-
delphia. now that it has made public
that Murphy is the real man behind the
throne.
President Gilmore OF the Feds prom
ises to make more disclosures rs to the
players from organized base ball who
will be found in his league next sea-
son.
Just how many names will appear in
this list remains to be seen. but 1t Is
certainty that organized base ball will
forever bar the players who jump their
contracts, if it is found that there are
still some who are disloyal to their
clubs.
The time will come. and it may not be
long, when the Federal League will
give up the ghost. and organized base
ball should pledge itself not to allow
a single player who has violated his
obligations to return to the fold. Ball
players have prospered under organized
base ball with the game. and those who
are jumping their contracts are doing
great harm and should be punished
when the proper time comes.
According to a New York report, the

AIM ALMOST CERTAIN
Invention Said to Guarantee Every

Charles Pechard, police official of
Paris, has invented an attachment
that enables one to shoot a revolver
more accurately in the dark than In
broad daylight, the New York indie
pendent states.
This attachment consists OF a metal
lie tube with lens at one end and a
tiny electric lamp at the other. BY
means of mirrors the light is directed
out through the lens as a slender cone,
and is sufficiently strong at distance
of some four rods for all practical pur'
poses. In the middle of the illumina-
ted field there is a small dark spot
which comedies with the line Of the
bullets flight. This enables the mex
perienced shooter to hit a selected
part of the burglars anatomy with
more certainty than he could display
in ordinary target practice.
The electric current is supplied by a
small dry battery or a storage battery
which the officer can carry in his peck
ct or which the defender of the home
can place under his pillow. The light
tube can be attached to an ordinary
pistol, and 1t may be used as a flash
with peaceful intent or merely as q
show of force.

streets, too, are 100 feet wide, which
may be another feature that modern
city builders may have copied from
the red men of the southwest.
Houses are built Of mud, ordinary
New Mexican mud shaped into blocks
and baked hard. After centuries under
the fierce rays Of the sun the blocks get
as hard as stone. The walls are seam
less. After the blocks were placed
the Indian builders smeared the joints
with mud, which in time became part
of the blocks. The walls Of most Of
the houses are eight feet thick. IN

Her head should be clean and an
