BASEBALL-SPORTS OF ALL KINDS BOXING

Students of Conference colleges
must await the pleasure of the facul-
ty governors on the present eligibil-
ity rules, but the, overwhelming ma
jority by which the undergraduates of
four western colleges decided against
the summer baseball regulation, in
vote just held, may go long way in
helping to make up the minds of the
teachers.
At the University of Illinois only 81
students out of 700 we're in favor Of
the present rule. Wisconsin voted
against the present rules, 222 to Is;
Indiana opposed them, 200 to IA, and
Minnesota showed under the sum-
mer rule, 1882 to III.
Wisconsin put a rider on its vote,
making athletes who have received
money for playing baseball eligible to
all college sports but the diamond.
This sentiment in four of the big
gest colleges in the Conference must
undoubtedly have weight when final
settlement is reached. The time has
come when the summer ball rule can
no longer be sidestepped
This is realized among the con-
sentative colleges of the east, as well
as here in the west. Walter Camp
advocates law that viii allow man
who has played summer ball to COM
pete in college athletics, provided he
has been in college two years. This,
it is explained will prevent abuse.

not to attach too much Importance
to the meeting of the two clans. And
also remember that the Federal leag-

1t is not reasonable to suppose that
they would make the same mistake

SUMMER SPRAYING NECESSARY

How To Prepare self-Boiled Lime

T. B. SYMONS,
Maryland Agricultural College.

The wise grower will aim to secure
the very highest quality of fruit pos
sible. In securing such fruit, the i'm
portance of summer spraying cannot be
over-estimated. We have hundreds OF
instances where the hopes of remunera-
ton from good peach crop have been
blasted by brown rot, and good sized
peaches have brought poor returns,
owing to a bad infection of scab
Moreover, it is common sight to see
apples seriously affected by one OF
more disease, making the crop from
many trees practically unstable. In
order to prevent these losses, growers
should practice late spring and sum.

In this connection, the adoption OF
the lime and sulphur mixture as
fungicidal treatment for fruit trees in
foliage. especially for peach. can well
be considered one OF the greatest mod.
ern advances in preventive treatment

United States Hotel Sold.

One OF the largest real estate deals
eonsummated through the hands OF
agents in Frederick in recent years
occurred yesterday when ]. A. Kid
wiler, Frederick, purchased through
the firm OF Potts & Griffin. real estate
and insurance agents, the United
States hotel property at the corner of
South Market and West All Saints
streets. Within few months this
property has changed hands two
times. The first change was made
when the property was purchased by
Eugene Sponseller and C. a Castle
from the late Judge John c. Motter
and H B. Snowman, Baltimore, for
msrly of Frederick. Mr.. Kidwiler
secured the property from Messrs.
Sponseller and Castle.
The terms Of the sale are private.
Il was rumored, however, on the
town yesterday that the consideration
was in the neighborhood OF $4,000.
4 quarter of q century or so ago
the building, now improved. was used
as . hotel and was known as the
United States hotel. For years it was
one OF the leading hotels OF this sec
ton OF the State. 1t is a large three
story brick building with a frontage
OF about Is feet and a depth of about

are valuable in view of the fact that

Mr.. William j. Grove Gives His
Views on a New Constitution
for the State of Maryland.
William j. Grove, president of the
NJ. ]. Grove Lime Company, and who
also finds time to take an active interest
in political affairs in the county and
state, contributes the following letter to
THE CITIZEN on the subject of Il Con
stitutional Convention, and advances the
idea that every citizen who desires to
vote should be compelled to contribute
in some way to the expenses attendant
upon elections. In great many states
this plan Of taxation, or as it is called,
Poll Tax, is in operation, and seems
to work very well. OF course persons
who pay taxes above certain amount
on real or personal property would be
exempt from these provisions. MIR.
Groves letter follows:
lNeSWs. Ean0ys
You request that | express my views
on the ACCESSIBILITY of calling a Constitu-
tional Convention, and | am glad of the
opportunity, as | have decided views in
favor of change in our Constitution,
for many reasons. In our effort to keep
abreast with the times we have so many
commissions to carry out the advanced
methods and ideas of our State govern
ment, until We are becoming top heavy
with laws. commissions and employers.
A State or community that does not
keep up with the times will lag be-
hind with old Anticipated laws and hab-
its One of the matters that should be
acted upon is the right Of franchise
which should be restricted in some way.
Under our present Constitution and sys-
sem, to get a great many voteas to cast
their ballots, it takes two dollar bill to
get them to come to the polls, and many
good citizens and taxpayers do not vote
at all for this very reason. MaSsachu-
sets north of us and Virginia south of
us, as well as many other States, make
it obligatory before you can cast your
vote YOU must either be a taxpayer pay
poll tax or work on the county roads, or
in some way meet the requirements of
the law before you can be voter. In
this way the ballot would be safeguarded
and it would mean better citizenship.
There are SO many other reasons why
We should have a new Constitutional
Convention that space will not admit of
writing more, only great care should be
had in the selection of proper men to
act upon this very important measure.
