mendous scale on which II ID produced.
The Bible publications Of the OK.
ford University press have been H.
sued for 800 years. and can be pub
lished IN 150 languages and dialects.
Every year fully six hundred tons Of
paper are used for this purpose alone.
Orders for 100000 Bibles are quite
common. ana the supply Of printed
sheets is 90 great that an order for
half q million copies can be readily
filed. On an average, from thirty to
forty Bibles are furnished every min.
ute. and this number can readily be
doubled.
There are no fewer than 110 differ
ent editions Of the Oxford Bible In
English. varying from the magnificent
folio edition for pulpit purposes to the
brilliant" Bible, the smallest edition
Of the Scriptures In the world. OF the
revised version. IA editions are pub
nshed. More than ono million copies
of the revised New Testament had
been ordered before the day of publ
cation in May Of 1881, and II II
claimed that the workingmen OF the
establishment refused bribe of some
$4,000 to furnish q copy OF the book
before the day Of issue.
At q banquet held at the four hun
dredth anniversary celebration Of the
beginning OF the art Of printing In
England by Caxton, Gladstone took
into his hands and exhibited TO those

LOCAL COLLEGE TEAMS PLAY

1t failed in hitting absolutely, which
was due. Of course. to it's being against
good professionals and against men
much better seasoned in comparison.
The Maryland Aggies were troubled
in their opening game yesterday by the
same thing which proved their undoing
in many games Of last season-medi
OGRE pitching. They had no trouble get
ting men on the bases against the
Midshipmen and hit freely. but they
failed to get the kind Of pitching that
wins ball games. notwithstanding that
sided score, the showing was not
bad by any means, considering the cir
cumstances.

Tom Fisher, former Eastern High
School boy. is playing third base for
the Navy team and doing fine work.
Fisher is the best fielder in the lineup,
handling ground balls with ease and
throwing accurately and consistently.
Fisher is just about as good a third
baseman as one usually finds anywhere
in collegiate ranks. And it might be
mentioned, too, that Fisher is a fine fell

which he plays.

and Day and Knode were used at third.

mighty creditable exhibition. too. espe
cially considering the fact that he had
not been back of the bat before this
season.
Western High and the Georgetown

in game on the hilltop. The Blue and
Gray youngsters were the victors by

way. Peine did some excellent playing
for Western. being the star of the fray.

All the local college base ball teams
play games on their home diamonds
tomorrow Georgetown is to meet the
nine representing the bureau of engrav-
ing and printing: Catholic University
has a contest with Rock Hill, and Gal
laudet will entertain the Mount St
Joseph's College nine.
Just what kind of a team the bureau
will take up to the Hilltop is not
known. 1t will have to be an excep-
tionally strong combination. though, If
it hopes to win. Georgetown is in
pretty good condition; much better, in
fact, than any aggregation of local
sand lot stars that could be got to-
gether.
The contest at Catholic University
should result in a fairly easy victory
for the Brooklanders. The Rock Hill
nine, while it is said to have a very
capable hurler, is not in the same class
with the local team otherwise.
Galiaudet, provided it plays as well
as it did last week against Catholic
University, should beat Mount st. Jo-
seph's. Georgetown trounced the Bal
timoreans by big margin a week
ago. the latter showing little strength
very good brand of ball on the part of
Gallaudet to win. unless the visitors
happen to be a whole lot stronger than
they were week ago.
The Maryland Ageies are scheduled to
play Swarthmore tomorrow, but there
is a possibility that the contest may
not take place. Swarthmore was on
its southern trip and had several teams
cancel with it. the result being that it
was compelled to go back home We'd
nesday The anagement has been
trying to get the Farmers consent to
call the contest off. 1t is improba BILE
that such consent will be given, and
the College Park management is GER
tain to insist that it take place. Swarth-

gies last year under the same condi-
lions.
Catholic University made fair
showing against the Nationals yester-
day. though the score was very much

Eddie Collins seems to be going bet

Fournier is not finished first baseman,

1t is understood that the Pittsburgh
Pirates may get Jim Thorpe from the
Giants, but what they want with the
Indian, who still is so weak on curve

him. is not clear. Thorpe never will
be a good ball player because of his

Champion Welsh and Benny Leonard
Meet for Ten-Round Go.

NEW YORK, March 31.-Freddy
Welsh, lightweight champion, will de-
fend his title against Benny Leonard
tonight in a ten-round no-decision
bout at Madison Square Garden. 1t
will be the second time within six
days that worlds boxing champion
ship has been at stake here.
Judging from the skill and relative
size of the two men, boxing experts
expect a stiff contest. Leonard, a boy
of eighteen. has mastered style of
boxing almost as fast and clever as
that of the champion. In addition he
has of late developed considera BILE
power as hard hitter.

that all there remains to be done to
make them a winning combination is
to teach them team work. which will
be done at once. If Tinker is to be the
teacher of this strategy, however, the
chances for any improvement in the
showing of the team will be rather
slim, for Tinker never has been able
to teach ball players anything. though
he was star player himself some
years back.
Manager Rowland has announced
that his team ia At and that he will
cut down the daily practice to mini
mum to prevent his charges from go
ing stale later in the season. In this
Rowland is showing wisdom, for the
great trouble with the Sox heretofore
has been that they were used in so
many exhibition games in those trips
from the coast east that they usually
were through by the time that the
campaign got well under way.
