.FARROW LIVERY BARN BURNED
BUILDING BURNED TO GROUND
CAUSING $4,000 LOSS NEW
MAN BUILDING DAMAGED

F. P. Farrow's large livery barn on
Second street northeast was entirely
destroyed by fire Thursday evening Of
last week, entailing a loss Of between
$4,000 and $4,000, with $4,000 insur-
ance, of which S., 500 was on the build
ing and ST 500 on the contents. Prac-
tically everything in the barn except
the hay, a quantity of oats, a num-
Der of sets Of harness and robes md
some sleds which were kept upstairs,
was saved.
The fire broke out at about 10 'clock
from an unknown cause and before
the fire department. could string the
hose to the barn the flames had gain
ed Roadway that could not be check
ed. All the horses were rescued, a
man who discovered the fire releasing
many of them. All of the fire COM
panies were called out and at one time
they had five streams of water play
ing on the flames but they were una
BILE to do more than save the Newman
building, adjoining. The large guam
tity of hay in the Farrow livery barn
caused it to burn more rapidly and
the flames leaped high into the air,
| lighting up the entire east side of the
! river: More than two thousand people
watched the fire, many Of them com.
ing from the chautauqua, which was
just over as the fire broke out.
Mr.. Farrow had $500 insurance on
! his building and $500 on the con
tents but he estimates his loss al over
$4,000, he says, as the building alone
could not be replaced for $4,000. HI
J purchased it fourteen years ago anc
has operated livery there ever since
It was erected ~ the late P. H. New
man. The Newman building adjoin
ing suffered small damage from heat
and water and at the roof IS edge anc
F., the windows by the flames.
During the last four years Mr. Far
row has been very unfortunate, hav
ing suffered heavy losses in two fires
One was the A. K. Hall fire, four years
ago, in which his garage was located
and in which he lost the equipment
and several automobiles on which
there was no insurance. Three years
ago warehouse at the rear of thu
livery barn was destroyed.

BASEBALL SLANG
IS NOT EDFYING
Former President William II.
Taft Deplores Its Use in
College Games

Boston, Mass, Feb. 9.-Professor
William II. Taft's observations of goat
getting on the collegiate baseball dia-
mond were recently published in the
Harvard Alumni Bulletin in substan-
tiation of Dean LeBaron r. Briggs
plea for gentlemanliness in playing
the game.
Professor Taft and Dean Briggs are
the two most noted eXponents of
purified patter on the diamond. The
former is trying to eliminate useless
verbiage at New Haven, as Dean
Briggs is trying to do the same thing
at Cambridge with the Harvard ball
team.
The pertinent remarks of Professor
Taft on ''yapping" are as follows:
'Puddinhe Wilson" says that the
difference between a cabbage and
caulifower is that the latter has had
a college education l think that it
should be the ambition of those regu-
lating college athletics to create a
similar distinction between profess
sional and college athletics.
Taft Was Shocked
dllenueu q DaSeball game between
the Yale and Harvard teams last COM
mencement. The chattering and slangy
phrases used by the members of one
team against the other, in order to
embarrass opponents. and encourage
associates, was not edifying. To hear
the undergraduates, on exhibition be-
fore 10000 people, calling out to their
associates, Get his goat or Put out
his eye was not elevating.
When the criticism was published,
the captains of the various college
teams were interviewed and they said
it was necessary to give pep to their
men. / think this is ridiculous.
IF it be necessary to inspire one
side with courage, through the cry of
the captain, it certainly need not be
framed in language which can only be
characterized as that of 'muckers.'
The truth it, it would be most crafty
ing to find in the absence of such
/ language and manners the difference
between a college game and a profess
sional game.
"The flavor of the college caulif1ow-
er, as distinguished from the profess
sional cabbage, 1 believe would be very
grateful to the great body of q college
audience and might ultimately have
some effect on the vulgar expositions
of cheap wit and irritating remarks
afforded in many professional games"

MORE POWER FOR
NATIONAL HEAD
Future Decisions by President
to Be Final; Season Opens
April II

New York, Feb. 9.-In the future
a decision from John X. Tener on any
protest will be final. No appeal will
be permitted, not even to the National
Commission. This additional power
was yesterday given to the National
League leader. Barney" Dreyfus,
who submitted the new rule, said there
has been too much argument over de-
cisions in past
Another radical measure proposed
by President Ebbets, of Brooklyn,
would prohibit any club from having
more than two thousand twenty-five
cent bleacher seats. At present the
Boston club has O,OO0 such seats. the
st. Louis club 5000. the Philadelphia
club $500, and the Cincinnati club
1000. The question will come up to-
morrow
At the meeting of the board of direc-
tors, which preceded the league meet
ing, Percy Haughton, of Boston, auto
matically took the seat held by former
President Gaffney, of Boston.
The following umpires We're ap-
pointed for next season:
Robert Emslie, Henry O'Day, Will
liam KLEIN, Charles Rigler, Nal Eason,
William Byron, Earnest lulSleN ana
Peter 4. Harrison.
The International League contribut-
ed Harrison to the staff. Al Orth will
be retained as utility umpire. Injuries
incapacitated him last season.
The league voted to continue the
monthly pension to Mrs. Mary Pulliam
Johnston, sister of the former presi-
dent of the league.
1t was voted to change the official
diagram of a baseball diamond in the
official rules to correct errors discoV-
cred by John Foster, of the New York
club, in regard to the pitching dis
tance Batter's box and the proper
location of second base. All National
League diamonds will be resurveyed
before the 1916 season starts and GER
titled reports of the surveys will be
sent to the president of the league.
Mr.. Dreyfuss proposed an amend
ment to the playing rules requiring
that the shortest distance from the
plate to the outfield fence on fair
ground, shall be 270 feet, instead of
235, as now stipulated. The schedule
adopted fixes April u, as the opening
date for the season, and October 3,
the closing.

Interest in rifle shooting is
in this city. Many take it as
a preparedness" move. There may
be whole lot of patriotism back of
the interest, as Uncle Sam would need
crack shots, in the event of war. The
National Rifle Association, however,
is big factor in the recent organiza-
ton of clubs and leagues all over the
United States
At the annual meeting of the Ma
tional Rifle Association, the members
were urged to show more activity in
increasing the number of rifle organi-
cations throughout the United States.
Letters have been sent out. calling at
tention to the willingness on the part
of the United States Government to
aid in this work, by furnishing rifles
to clubs with ten or more members.
All that is necessary is a bond covering
the cost of the rifles.

the players are showing remarkable
ability.
Coach Billmeyer of York has a
bunch of stars in his charge, and the
scholastic team that wins out over the
White Roses will have to show a rec
ord pace. Central has good men in
Thomas and Wallower, both of whom
have been showing class in recent
games, equal to that of York stars.
Jimmy" West, the life of last
