Parting Is Hard for Magee.

Although Magee had declared that he
would not again play in this city, the
parting is going to be harder than the
hard hitting outf1elder imagined. Sher-
wood didn't believe that it would pull
MS heart strings any TO become mem
per OF another club, but it is going to
be like breaking home ties for him to
leave the Phillies
Ihe first indication that he had of
tnls came to the player soon after he
signed with Boston last Thursday
Coming back to this city from New
ork, sherwood began to realize that
ne cared a good deal for this city and
the Phliadelphia club, after all. There
We're tears In his eyes when he told
billy Shettsline that going away to
some other club wasn't SO easy as he
thought.
L feel pretty bad about it, said
Sherwood, now that it is all over with
and I'm to be with Boston. 1 guess
when the Braves come to PHILADELPHIA
next summer / won't be able to hit the
ball for thinking of the old days with
the Phillies."
Despite Sherwoods gloomy view of
how his batting average will shrink
when he comes to Broad and Hunting
don streets to play against his old
team, the chances are that when he
sees that old pill' coming up to the
plate he will bang away at it just as
hard and just as successfully as he did
when he wore the Phillies' uniform
If there is one thing in life that
Sherwood cannot resist it is to try to
put a dent in every horsehide that is
thrown at him when he has a bat in
his hand

HAS FANS GUESSING
Deal for Magee PerpIexing
Quaker City People.

PHILADELPHIA, December 80. -
Guesses to who will be selected by
the Phillies from the Boston Braves in
exchange for Sherwood Magee are still
going on, and they will continue to do
so until the official announcement is
made as to the selections. With the Sc
curing of Magee the Braves are now
long" on outfielders, and the PhiIlies
are by no means short" in this depart
ment in the matter of quality.
Manager Moran has three good stand
bys in Cravath, Becker and Paskert.
Last season Stallings had six outf1eld-
ers, so that with Magee and some
youngsters he will have an oversupply
of men for the outfeld
With Sherwood on his team it will
not be necessary for Stallings to make
so many changes whenever South
paw faces the Braves. Magee doesn't
fear left-hand twirlers any more than
he does righthanders. 1t would not be
surprising, therefore, if the Braves
gave up at least one outfeIder to the
Phlll1eS in addition to other players
Moran also is little shy on infield ma
terial. He would be particularly short"

bert should go over to the Federals
The choice of players may, therefore,
depend upon whether Honus decides to
remain here or to accept the offer of

Reports from the basket ball and

it was decided to publish basket ball

An appreciation of the strides Rugby
foot ball has been making to popular

In paper from DR.. Frank Angel,
chairman of the faculty athletic CON-
mittee of Leland Stanford University.
DR.. Angel wrote:
Il should be ungrateful if 1 did not
acknowledge the service which the
British colonial teams have rendered
us, not only in popularizing the game
of foot ball, but in demonstrating it
as q sport for sports sake. l recall to
mind in their personnel firemen, COL
lege students and small farmers.
Through their tours of California, no
less than in the return visits of the
Californians to the Antipodes, New
Zealand and British Columbia, we have
been shown foot bail played for the
love of the game. Incidentally, through
a profuse and generous hospitality, the
colonial teams have shown us the value
of the social amenities in promoting a
sportsmanlike spirit an match games."
Concerning amateur base ball on the
coast DR.. Angell's letter said:
Base ball here mainains its position
at the foot of the list of sports in
manners and morals with a discourag-
ing persistency. We have not, indeed,
developed that refined product of near
amateurism known as the summer
hotel player. I fear, however, this can
not be attributed to cur superior vir-
tue, but to the scarcity of big summer
hotels in California"

AFTER HALF-CENTURY MARK
No Real Reason Why Man Of That
Age Should Not Be Capable of
Good Work.

Speaking OF the age OF efficiency,
a Toledo gentleman located 1t be-
yond the half-century mark. He calls
our attention to the fact that Column
bus was tfty-six when he discovered
America, that Darwin, Kant, Spencer,
Wagner, Haydn, and others did their
greatest and best work when far past
the fifty mark, and hat some have
persisted in great accomplishment I'M
til seventy or more years Of age. This
argument won't help the man who is
aged and broken and lettering at fifty,
Will it? But it will hearten the man
Of forty or more who has been care
full Of his resources, to think that
to him achievement still is a possibiil-
ity-and it may find him the %opportu-
nifty to achieve by convincing some
master Of opportunity that years do
not always spell serility or loss Of
virility. The young man may reflect
that he has the opportunity to run a
long race-and he may catch sight of
the fact that the man Of fifty Is not
necessarily a back number" merely
because Of his half-century.

The Trimmer.

THE late Bishop Bowman" said
a Philadelphia minister. once re-

leanings by telling me a story about
a little girl.
This little girl, 1t seems, had writ
ten with great pains a composition
on the COW. The composition ran as
follows:
THE COW is a very useful animal.
That evening the bishop dined at
the little girls house, and her mother,
since she was a very little girl, in
deed, was proud Of the composition,
and requested its author to read It
aloud.
The little girl got her manuscript,
but, instead Of reading it as it stood,
she amended it on the bishops behalf

NAL there is except religion"

WESTERNIRRIGATION
California Citrus Growers Adopt
Modern Pipe System.
Consists Of Pressure Box and a Series
Of Cement Stations, One Of Which
Is Located at Head of Each
Row of Trees.

New York-The citrus growers Of
California have adopted a modern irri.
eating system which, once installed,
avoids the yearly ditch digging which,
with repeated hOeings to keep down
rank weed growths, was the bugbear
of the old irrigation ditch. The sys-
tenn consists OF q pressure box and a
series OF cement stations, one of which
is located at the head of each row Of
trees. The pressure box is used to
measure the water with which the
orchard is irrigated. 1t is a cement
box three and one-half feet long and
thirty inches wide, rising over four
feet from the ground, and reaching
down TO the water main, some three
and one-half feet below the surface. In
side the box there is d partition which
is pierced by a hole one foot square.
When the pressure box is full, water
Is passing through this opening at a
constant rate so that the rancher or
Orchardist knows exactly how many
hour-feet Of water he has used during
a certain irrigating period.
From the pressure BOX cement pipes,
eight inches in diameter, conduct the
water to the stations, which are 10
inches across, and equipped with a
patent shut-off by which the flow of
water from the main may be closed at
any time. Thus the old basin system
gives way TO an underground system,
which puts the water just where the
feeders of the tree al reach it best,
and keeps the water away from the
surface, where it produced rank

With good. young mule to engage his

cars and demand his constant atten-

These two little romances, the one
ending 80 tragically and the other so
happily, came to light yesterday in the
court of Magistrate Broadwell And
Il Is owing to his common sense and
good judgment that the bridegroom
whose romance ended 80 happily is
not keeping company with the BRIDE

Yesterday morning stern old man
and meek, teEder-eyed old lady
came into Magistrate Broadwell's
office. The old man Informed the
Judge that he wanted warrant for
d young white fellow who had stolen
his only child, girl of some Is year,
and married her. The old fellows
name Is Pearson and no owns a large
farm near Pelzer. The couple had
but one child. and she was the idol of
the old fathers heart and the apple
OF the mothers eye. The old couple
seemed heart broken over the affair,
and what appears to grieve them more
was the manner In which the daughter
had surprised them. The old man
said that he and his wife had been
in Greenvige. where the couple had
gone to get the license and marry.
and were told that they should get
the warrant in Anderson. This was
evidently ruse on the part Of the
areenville officers to avoid having
to do with the matter. The
father averred that the bridegroom
had been to see his daughter but
twice and that she had gotten but two
letters from him. He came armed
with his Bible and was ready to show
the magistrate the Justice OF iii5 posi-
tion.

When the old man had finished his
tale Judge Broadwell had a few
words to say. He stated that he had
known the bridegroom. Mr.. Stone.
