RETURN TO PHlLLIEs

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. lo,--0tto
knabe, the Phillies' second baseman,
who jumped to the Baltimore Federal
league team, laughed this afternoon
when asked what he thought OF Pres
ident Bakers statement, that he could
never return to The Philadelphia club.
Mr.. Baker need not fear that
shall ever ask for a place on his
team, said knabe, And what is
more, / would never consent to play
for him even II the Federal league
disbanded. If Baker made the re-
mark which is credited to him, all
can say Is that the feeling is mu-
tuai.
Il would like to say that I am en-
thusiastic over the Federal league.
and l feel sure that It is going to be
a great success. They have the money
and are spending it, not throwing It
away. but using it judiciously. We
expect adverse criticism from the Ma
tionai and American leagues. but he

Sclffshness.

Selfishness is the most common and
contemplate characteristic of the hu-
man race. Mans inhumanity to man
makes countless thousands mourn
Nobody seems to care what happens
as long as it doesn't happen to him.
This Is the spirit Of the clamorous
crowd. but we insist that 1t does not
represent public opinion. The ma
jority of the people in this country are
stiIl decent orderly. fair minded and
square dealing. with fafth in their fell
low man and in their God.
But the clamorous crowd Is max
ing the noise It's voice is heard in
the flashy newspaper. the muckrak-
ing magazine and in the shouts of the
demagogue in our halls of legislation.
Lofty ideals, pleas for higher
standard of virtue, protests against
extravaganza. inefficiency and demon
alizatioh In the public service are set
aside. The current appeal Is to the
selfishness of every man and woman.
It Is the age OF the pork barrel. y
1t is the business Of the public servant
not to be the servant of the country,
but only OF his constituents. Let pa
triotism "go hang" while the congress-
man intrigues Tor an appropriation
for public building, creek or har-
Dor in his district.
This is all very human. perhaps
very natural. and 1t may satisfy the
constituents of the representative and
respectable members Of congress, but
where does it leave the people, and
what becomes of the country.s pros
perity?
It. may please the crowds to bust
the trusts. smash the railroads, UNDER

hardahips upon tho 4manufAc turese. ~

FROM THE VIEWPOINT
OF THE PRESS AGENT
NIeiba.

! Information received at a late hour
last night stated that the reason for
the change of date of the Richmond
concert by Mime. Melba from Mon
day, February 10TH to Saturday, Feb
ruary l4th, was due to an extraordi-
nary guarantee for a series of operate
appearances in Philadelphia with
Ruffo. the great Italian baritone.
Nine. Melba has been drawing ca
pacity audiences on this tour from
coast to coast. and scores of re-
quests for appearances have been de-
clned owing TO the limited number
OF engagements which she could accept.
Her contract was originally arranged
for seventy concerts. which she was
prevailed upon to increase to ninety.
and finally. yielded to insistent re-
quests to one hundred.

New Material,

Among the last years scrubs" who
are back are: Campbell, Galloway.
Smith and Guy. Smith and Guy were
utility men for the first string last
year and should make some one hus-
tie for a regular berth this season.
Some very promising raw material
has reported already, and by the time
that the basketball season is over, the
new material will appear unusually
good. Some of the new men who have
come out with regulations are Pas
chal. who played at short last year
for McGuire's; Kinsolving. shortstop
at the Episcopal High school; Collins.
who played third base for Woodbury..
and Priddy, who did the receiving at
the same school; Wood. second base
man and captain of the Hampdeh-
Sidney college; Mccall, second from
the Memphis University school; Har-
mon and Flanagan. OF the Jefferson
school, and several others.
AS whole the squad looks excep-
tionally good. although nothing much
has been done in the way of practice
except batting and chasing flies vir-
ginia's schedule this year will be a
very hard one. and practically every
Northern team of note will be taken
on by Pop" Lannigans pets between
now and June And while there are
several vacant places which will be
hard to fill, on account of the new
material, a successful season is ex-
pected.

UNIVERSITY. OF VIRGINIA, Feb
10.-Ideai weather base given trainer
Lannigan and Captain Neff the chance
to give the baseball candidates a
workout every afternoon for the last
ten days. The outdoor practice has
gone far toward loosen.ng up stiff
arms. and much work In chasing flies
again. From forty to fifty men have
been coming out every afternoon. and.
while the workouts have been short.
the work has been snappy and there
Is more trouble in holding-the men
down than in getting them to work.
Jack Ryan, coach of the ashinE~
ton club, will again have charge Of the
Orange and Blue candidates. and by
the time he gets here in March. Nef
will have the men in fair shape to be-
gin training for the early practice
games with the Washington team.
which will again train for the Am
erican league race on Lambeth neid.
Ryan has had enough experience at
coaching Virginia teams to be able
to get the squad into shape quick
enough for the games with the North
ern colleges which will be staged here
early in the season.
Old Men Back.
There are a number of last years
regulars who are still in college, and
most of them will be eligible for the
team this year However. three of
last years "V" men are ineligible in
account OF having played for four
years. They are Pitcher Grant and
Outfielders Lille and Fitchett. Among
the other old men back are: Captain
Neff, who was probably the most val
liable man on the team last year. Men
was practically universally chosen for
All-South Atlantic shortstop and took
his regular turn on the heaving mound
as well. He will probably be the
regular shortstop this year, but will
doubtless also be called on to bear
a part of the pitching burden.
Berry Green astonished the coaches
last season by his clever work be-
hind the bat and while his hitting was
not all that could be desired his
position is generally conceded to him
again this season, His headwork and
throwing to second base were remark
able last year, and with a years ex-
perience he should be doubly valu-
able to the team.
Infielder White Is another who Is
practically sure of a berth on this
years team. White has developed
into one of the best all-round athletes
in the university, and was a regular
end on the football squad. and Is now
doing duty on the basketball team.
Phillips. the heaviest hitter on the
squad last year. Is back again. and
Will again be seen doing duty among
the outer works. Besides Neff, Gam
mon and James have returned to-taxe
their turn on the firing line.
In the Yale game last year. Gam
mon showed that he had the stuff of
first-rate pitcher in him. and II he
does not show up we'll this season Il
will be big surprise to everyone.
James was very raw last year. and
showed a decided lack of coaching;
but with his natural speed. and the
training he received last year. he
ought to develop into regular be-

FARMER DOESN'T UNDERSTAND
Difference IN WHEAT GRADES

Chester Richards, farmer whose
$40 acres we understand is located il
the vicinity of Lindsay, reports hav-
ing brought 48 bushels of his fine
Marquis wheat last week to the Occi-
dent elevator across the track, which
they graded No. and paid him at the
rate Of 81 cents per bushel.
Not being satisfied with the grade
or the price and believing his wheat
should have been given higher grade
he brought in, early this week, %
bushels of the same lot and taking i
to the Eastern Montana Elevator, Of
which M. NJ. Shockley is manager, he
received a No. grade and was paid
at the rate of 81 cents per bushel.
What Mr.. Richards cannot under
stand is why an elevator IL allowed 70
SO grossly under-grade wheat when al
conditions were absolutely equal and
the methods of grading SO nearly
alike.
