The Yankees, despite the absence OF

Don't Forget "Pop."

In this little discussion of track
athletics and systems of coaching,
don't forget the greatest trainer
in the South, Pop" Lannigan, at
Virginia.
"Pop" has much the same system
that Moakley uses. though he fails
to get as good material. Give
Pap the material going to Cor
nell, and Virginia might be out in
front battling for the same glory
that Is now Cornelrs
It Is a pretty sight at CharIottes-
willie to see Lannigan's boys train
ing. He never has fewer than fifty
or so and he keeps them all hust-
ling from first to last. The Vir-
ginla athletes make training a real
Joy. Maybe that's why they clean
up South Atlantic Peets with such
regularity.
Give Moakley the honor of the in
tercollegiate victories. but let's re-
member that down In Charlottesville
is another shrewd trainer who is
making good with the same system
getting out the whole gang and
letting them all hustle under the
same watchful eye.

Msckmen Are Hustling.

Now that they are getting good
pitching. the Mackmen are hustiing
every minute, and. unless all signs
fail, they should cause a lot or
upsets in this league this season.
Amos Strunk, Lawton Witt. Jimmy
Walsh, and 'Stufry" Mcinnis,
though the latter Is just now in a
batting slump. make a mighty fine
nucleus about which to build a
pennant winner. Indeed. It may
take but another season for Connie
Mack to bring his ball club up
around the top OF the heap.
In the three games played here in
the present series Connie has shown
some fine pitchers in Bush. Nabors.
and Myers. You can't take any
thing away from those lads-they
are real pitchers.
Don't poke your fingers at the
Mackmen OF 1916.
They won't finish in the cellar,
that's a cinch.

ODD THINGS IN JAPAN.

neys, SO that you may see a whole
plateau of houses with not q single
curl of smoke as far as the eye can
reach. The Japanese cooking is done
outside the house in a little charcoal
stove. They have nc stoves to keep
themselves warm only little hibachis
gallon Jars with charcoal in them
covered with ashes. There isn't enough
heat in n to SINCE a miller, and
whenever they get too cold they take
a warm bath. Bathing is a sacred
rite. Whenever they have a spare
moment they run and take a bath.
When business is dull they hurry to
& public bathhouse and jump in; il
they miss n train they take a bath
while waiting for tho next. They take
them hot-steaming, sizzling hot.
And the strange thing is they don't
do the bathing in the tub; they have
little foot baths about the size Of
crooks that they use for washing
themselves and when they are thor
oughly clean they climb into the tub.
If you should get into the tub first the
proprietor would break into tears and
tell you that you were b~ankrupting
him, for the same water is used all
evening no difference how many
guests the hotel has. After soaking
a while they crawl out, steaminEs all
over, gently blot themselves, getninto
llimonos and sit around b%are-ankled.

never catch cold!
When I got here and was invited
into a Japanese home, I found tina,
they haven't any chairs; in fact, thee
isn't a stick of furniture a foot high in
a Japanese house. You have to sit on
the floor. A person of my build was
neve meant for sitting on the floor.
When I get down on the floor and try
to draw up to a Japanese table, my
feet are so in the way that l can't get
up to where there is anything doing,

Today is the coolest day of
the winter, according to the
Government thermometer at
the State School of Forestry,
which registered 36 below at an
early hour this morning.
Many seem inclined to take
issue with the thermometer,
believing that yesterday should
hold the palm. But yesterday
was a mild day in comparison,
the lowest point reached being
80 below. To be sure, some of
the more pessimistic thermo-
meters about the city did far
worse. In fact, it is reported
that the mercury in Wekseth's
thermometer ran about a foot
into the ground in a effort to
establish a new record.
At present there is a gradual
rising in temperature, with
the indication that the cold
snap has spent its force.
