NAVY WANTS INGRAM AGAIN.

Annapolis, Md, Dec. 4.-Lieutenant Jonas H. Ingram, head coach of the Naval Academy football team during the season, is considering the request of the Executive Committee of the Navy Athletic Association to take charge for another year.
 Though the season was poor and ended with a defeat by the Army eleven, it is generally felt in Navy cir cles that Lieutenant Ingram did all that could be expected under the cir cumstances, and that the instruction which the squad got this year has laid the foundation for strong and win ming team next season.

New Marks.

But these records are not yet com piete, for Wagner and Lajoie are not vet through. Honus will be forty-two
 years old on the 24th day of Febru- ary. Lajoie will be forty-one on the Eth of September.
 But next April. barring an unex- pected side swipe from Fate, both will be in the lineup when the Pirates and Mackmen take the field. What mark will these two make be- fore they hang up a pair of faded old uniforms and drift out into the dusk for good? Each year now has been their last season for long time. But they are still at it. One drew $10,0OO last season, and the other s9,000-and the records show that neither was a enSioner.
 Wagner's Ambition.
 Wagner. as we understand if has this ambition-to swing on four more years until he is forty five-to play in 5000 games and to make 4.O0O hits. At first notice this seems to be beyond all logic. It is be- yond probability--but after all not impossible.
 Wagner this last season in his forty first year played through 156 games, not missing a battle. He led the shortstops in fielding and ranked second among the shortstops of his league in batting.
 He was not quite the Wagner of ten years ago, but he was still far from being through. Three seasons will put him over the 2,000-gam mark, but there is little chance that he .yiI ever make the 735 base hits necessary to complete a 4,000-hit total It would be beyond all reason if Wagner wasn't Wagner. No Predictions. Like the reporter of 1897 we might here hazard the opinion that Wagner i had set or was setting @ mark for all time. Possibly he is. But we are taking no chances upon any such observation, with a certain Mr. Cobb still in the harness. Cobb will be twenty mine years old on the 18th of this month. Yet he has already completed eleven seasons l in the Main Corral. And in that span has played in over 1,400 games and has made over 2,00O hits. Cobb has l averaged more hits to a game than 1 any man that ever played. He has 1 como closer to four hits from ten times at bat-that is, closer to a 400 | average-than any other entry. In l the way of runs, hits and stolen bases his record is beyond all comparison. How Much Further. Whether or not Cobb can last as long as Wagner, Lajoie and Anson is another kink.
 l If Cobb can travel ten more years l holding out until he is thirty-nine-

 housekeeping.

Philadelphia, Dec. 4.-The sensa- tional denunciation of football condl- tions and the system of coaching at the University of Pennsylvania by Bob Folwell, ex-Captain and haf back of the Pennsylvania team ana now coach of Washington and Jeffer- son College, has again stirred up the the university. Yesterday the stu dents former stars and alumni of Pennsylvania out of the rut'' will be change be made in the policy that has guided the Red and Blue in the past. FolWell, who declared at Franklin Field yesterday that something is rotten in the Pennsylvania system, and who answered questioners who had heard rumors that he would coach the team next year by the emphatic statement that he would coach the team for nothing to help pull old Pennsylvan1a out of the run" will be given serious consideration 1t was said today, by the Board of Athletic Advisers when it meets in about a week.
 Yesterday Big BilT' Hollenback, Captain of the 1908 eleven, and Mike Bennett, coach of Haverford, support ed the contention of Folwell that Pennsylvania's football system needed housekeeping. Both defend the Pennsylvania ssytem but criticise the manner in which it has been hauled.
 Individually they cannot see any thing wrong with any of the 1915 coaches excepting that they have failed to get the results when the material at hand was unquestionably good Each expresses the belief that he could have taken the same team and turned out an eleven which would have won every game on the schedule barring possibly the Cornell and Pitts burg contests.
 Dr. Bennett contends that Folwell is wrong in denouncing Dr. Carl Will liams He thinks that if he was not hampered, and would give more time to coaching, Williams could turn out winning eleven, but adds that it is too late now and a change must be made.

He has defeated every mat artist he has met in the past year, and his packers believe he can take the crown away from Gotch. It is more than likely that the pair will meet in February. Experts say Gotch at his best would more than have his hands full with Stecher. How he will fare with the Nebraskan after being out of competition for over a year can only be answered after the mill.

SALOONS TO KEEP OPEN

Davenport saloon keepers have
decided to make an open fight on
the repeal of the mulct law and sew
eral, possibly all of them will open
their places of business Jan. 3. All
of them have agreed to stick together
in the fight against the prohibition
enactment. sef
Some days ago the saloonmen held
a secret meeting where plans were
laid and it is thought the decision to
fight the prohibition regulations was
made at this meeting. They expect
to employ the most skilled legal
council. Henry Jebbins, prosecutor
in Scott county, has been appraised of
the saloonmen's plans and has asked
Attorney General Cosson to lead the
fight. 1t is said the attorney general
will arrive about Jan. /.
A move to unite all the saloonmen
in the river towns of east Iowa was
contemplated for some time but 1t
is believed this idea has now been
abandoned and that the chief fight
will be made in Davenport. Some Of
the other saloon keepers in other
towns may contribute funds but that
will be as far as they go, 1t is under
stood.

SOME TIMELY HINTS

In grating. the greatest care should
be observed that scions are not taken
from trees infested with San Jose
scale or that are in any way diseased.
Do not set out evergreens in the
fall. Have them delivered as early
in the spring as possible and make the
ground ready now.
In order to obtain the largest blooms
on your chrysanthemum plants. pick
off all but the large central bud and
do it as soon as the buds begin to
show.
After the drain tile has been put in,
crushed rock, gravel or coal cinders
will keep the ground in good condi
ton.
Do not be in a hurry to mulch the
strawberry beds. Wait until a good
stiff freeze comes along.
After the bees have been safely
housed in dry cellar, with the bot
toms of the hives resting on pieces
about two inches thick. do not disturb
them until spring.
