DIALOGUES CONCERNING TWO NEW

Translated from the Italian and

Antonio Favaro of the University Of

In order to revive the learning Of the
ancients,'' as well as to give credit where
credit is due, this reprint of some Of
Galileo Galilei's most important work has
been issued in easily available form.
II is unique and interesting volume. The
dialogues constitute the form in which
Calico developed his ideas upon what he
considered the most important Of all his
discoveries and upon which he expended
thirty laborious years. The book Is d.
Fided into 'days''-four Of them all to-
sether-in which by question and answer
he sets out his theory of dynamics as one
of the new sciences'' and as the other
one, his discoveries and theories concern
ing the resistance which solid bodies Of

subjects of immense utility in the sciences

BASKETBALL PLAYS
THAT'LL WIN GAMES
BY w. II. MEANWELL,
Wisconsin University Basketball
Coach.

While for convenience the plays
from center have all been dia-
grained to show the tip off going
to the right, 1t should be under
stood that they may all be played
to the left, as we'll.
These plays are all we'll tried,
workable ones, and will produce
results.
They are simple and compare
lively safe and have one essential
feature, namely-the man with
the tip off has three men to
whom he may pass, and each of
the three is In scoring territory.
The play: Center tips off to
No. 2 in right-forward position,
and Immediately dashes straight
to the basket for a pass.
No. 1 dashes forward to lose
his guard I'D doubles back to
basket In deep left forward posi-
ton for pass from 2, or g.,
No. 5 dashes straight up the
floor to deep right-forward posi-
ton to take the pass.
No. 2 secures tip off and passes
to either No. 3, 5 or l, close to
basket. After passing he goes t..
right guard position and guards

GOOD IDEA TO LOOK
BEFORE YOU LEAP

In a letter to the seporting
editor OF this paper, someone
signing the name, A. S. Barclay.
has taken him severely to task
over his attitude in regard to q
match between Joe Bonds and
Frank Farmer.
The sporting editor does not
know Mr.. Barclay. but he resenta
the tone Of his letter. He seems
to think the facts have not been
stated as they are. 1t is very
evident that Mr.. Barclay does not
understand the situation, or he
would be more careful in his re-
marks. &.
Nothing has been stated in this
paper in regard to the affair that
has not been based on facts. The.
sporting editor Is in position To
know whereof he speaks, where
as there is no proof that Mr.. Bar
clay has any inside information

dition.

aeer Of the st. Louis Nationals
for five days at the time when
J. McGraw and Mike Donlin were
members of that team. That was
before Donlin's attempts to ele-

was known as a bad actor. So
much so that his frequent clashes
with umpires caused Mike to
adorn the bench most of the time.
This caused McGraw to confer
with Heilbronner.

The Federal League Here to Stay
Has Money to Fight Ball Trusts
BY GEORGE r. PULFORD.

III 0ItohGE II. fULrOISDs
This is an open year for ball
players.
The aggressiveness of the Fed
eral league. called an outlaw"
by organized baseball, spells
WAR!
And, as was shown in 1901,
baseball war is an expensive lux
ury.
The Federal is coming strongly.
President James A. G.lT2ore and
Secretary Lloyd Rlckart say the
league is prepared to spend for
tune to establish itself.
The only law the Federal has
violated is that one which organ
lied baseball has created in its
complacency. And the public to-
day does not recognize the right
Of the National, American and
their minor league associates to
plake laws for IL.
The attack upon the baseball
Goliath by the baseball David is
eentered in the vulnerable point
Of the big fellows armor-the
reserve clause--and before the
1914 season opens this will be
threshed out in court to deter
mine whether q baseball contract
Is worth the paper it is printed
upon.
Secretary Rickart says the Fed
eral league is not planning n cam
raign for sympathy, but will seek
patronage with good baseball and
high-ciass players.
The way the Federal is raidlng
the stronghold Of the enemy is an
evidence of good faith in this re-
spect. Leaders like Tinker,
Brown, Stovall and Ned Hanlon
will attract the fans, and IL they
gather the sort of players they
are after and play good baseball
the fans will be with them.
The Federal, IL successful, can
force upon baseball a sense of it's
debt to the public, something few
nagnates have realized. 1t can
give recognition to young players
who have heretofore been forced
to seek allegiance with organized
baseball and accept whatever
terms were offered, and, having
signed a contract, be sent from
team to team, without having a
word in the matter.
With the Federal in the field
and outside of the fold, this will
cease and organized baseball will,
IL forced, treat players more like
men and less like chattels.

NIT the following:
Joe +. B,edsoe was born in Cumber-

came to Ardmore in early boyhood'
with his patents. In 1897 he was en-
gagged in the confectionery business
with c. r. Ledbetter under the iirn
name of Bledsoe & Ledbetter. He had
the misfortune of losing his business
by fire with but little if any insurance.
In 1898. when the town of Ada was
established Mr. Bledsoe went in the
drug business at Ada, and while there,
he married Miss Maud Smith. In 1900
