OUTLOOK FOR 1915 is DARK
Program of Sporting Events for Year
Seems Rather Flat Compared
With Last Season.

Compared with the prospects of a
year ago the program of sporting
events for the coming year seems
rather fiat and tame There will be
no Davis Cup tennis, no information
al polo, little international golf, no
return Of the Harvard university crew
to defend the laurels won in English
rowing, and there is little prospect of
a race for the Americas Cup.
1t is true that a sudden cessation
of hostilities would make possible the
resumption of Sir Thomas Lipton's
campaign on comparatively short no.
tice, and that the National Lawn Ten
mis- association has taken the prelim-
mary steps necessary to insure its
right to challenge in case the war sud-
denly ceases; but there is little pros
pect that it will cease.
The high lights of the 1914 athletic
season emphasized such spectacular
happenings on the international hori-
zon as Ouimet's visit to France and
England Lord Wimborne's spectacu-
lar polo campaign, and the gathering
of the tennis cracks of all nations to
play in the U. S., which will not be
repeated for many a day. Never
theless, there is every reason to ex-
pect a year of development in active
outdoor life, the greatest which has
been recorded in this country.

Cross, Lauder, Delehanty, Cooley and

MENTAL STRAIN IN BASEBALL
Considerable Nerve Required TO Face
Pitcher With Fast Ball, Says
Former Varsity Guard.

A group of former varsity football
players were arguing the interesting
point as to which requires more nerve
on the part of participants, football or
baseball? One would think there
would not be dissenting voice to the
opinion that the gridiron sport re-
quires far more nerve. Yet there were
several who strenuously debated this
contention, holding that the mental
strain was greater upon the man who
plays baseball.
81 played varsity baseball and varsity
football" said one man of the group,
"and | want to tell you that the only
time / ever felt inward tremors was
when l stood at the plate facing a
pitcher who had fast ball. There is
something about the situation-or al
ways was to me-which made me feel
my helplessness, made me feel at the
mercy of the pitcher, or rather at the
mercy of his possible bad aim. In foot
ball you were fighting against one man,
and he had nothing to throw at you.
st feel the same way" chimed in a
former varsity guard. when I came
from prep school had reputation
as a pitcher, but l never tried for the
team because l hadn't the nerve to
face the shoots of varsity pitchers"
The curious thing is that this man was
in his day one of the most daring and
resourceful backs playing the game.

that the advel Using for settlers was
in the interest of land sharks. Assem-

an annual real estate license fee of

Their extension of the tuberculin test
and the paying of cattle condemned
by the state. Assemblyman Carl Pie
per of Dunn county denounced the test
as a "humbug'' and said that the test
had failed in many instances which he
cited Assemblyman Bradley agreed
that the test sometimes failed, but
said that it was the best method for
detecting the disease known to science
and that the percentage of failures
was small. The next meeting of the
Farmers Legislative club" will prob
ably be held either Wednesday or
Thursday evening At that time the
committee appointments will be an
nounced. In reality this is a farmers
legislature working out bills within
the scope of the whole legislature.
This scheme of organization has been
used by the Socialists of the legisla-
ture for several terms, but this is the
first time that any other class of inter
ested persons composed of members
of the legislature combined to con-
slider legislation before it reaches the
committee or the house.
The railroads of the state will pay
higher taxes this year. The levy
which has just been announced shows
that the tax on railroad property will
be $59,811.76 greater this year than
last. The total railroad tax this year
is $4,780,34106 as compared with
fixed on the valuation of properties
within the state and the rate is fixed
by law as the average throughout the
state, for real estate and personal
property. These taxes are paid in two
installments, one-half in February and
the remainder in August.

$4,000, 600 a Year for Expenses.

A budget estimating the cost Of
state government as about sixteen mil
/ lion dollars year for the next two
years has been filed with the joint
committee on finance in the legisla-
ture.
This budget forms a working basis
for the committee, which held it's first
meeting. Bills relating to the state
dairy and food commissioners depart
ment came up for discussion. Com
missioner J. @. Emery appeared in be-
half of appropriations calling for an
increase of about eleven thousand dol
lars for his department.
The budget filed with the joint COM
mittee on finance was compiled by
John Tanner, expert accountant with
the state board of public affairs. A
copy of the budget has been filed with
Gov. E. l.. Philip. 1t has been fixed
as the policy of the committee not to
release the contents of the budget for
the present.
1t is known, however, that $16,000,-
600 a year is fixed as the estimated
cost of state government for the next
two years. 1t is said that after that
period Mr.. Tenner, through his budget
estimates, points to marked economy
and estimates a decrease of $1,000,00O
a year in the cost of government in
Wisconsin.
Great interest centers in estimates
relating to the state university. 1t is
understood that the university will at
tempt to disarm suspicion of extrav-
agance in administration by making
a comparatively modest demand on
the general fund of the state.
The joint committee on finance has
outlined a session of hard work. This
session there will be- no omnibus bill
grouping appropriation bills. 1t has
been outlined as the policy of the COM
mittee to give appropriation bills in
dividual attention, and the same policy
will probably prevail in the senate
and the assembly when these meas
ures come to vote.
