town, are the only ones who can con-
sistently ridicule the farmers for pay
ing dues to maintain an organization.
For any other class to poke fun at the
farmers would be like the "kettle call
ing the pot black" ....-
In justifying the farmers organic
alton l desire it understood that I ap-
prove of the following principles ad-
vocated by the League, viz:
1. An appropriation by the state to
supplement the terminal elevator at
st. Paul.
2. Control of the dockage, weights
and grades by the state.
3. State hail insurance.
4. The principle Of a Single Tax on
farm lands.
5. A Rural Credits banking system
operated at cost for the farmers.
I also favor cooperative flour mills,
packing houses, cold storage plants,
and stock yards by farmers, but
doubt the wisdom, hence opposed, to
the state building and operating them.
While all the organizers, officers,
speakers, advisers, ETC., are Socialists,
yet they are men. who think. Hence
when it comes to a showdown with
them as to which they hold most sa-
cred, the Farmers organization or the
promotion of the Socialist party, !
cherish the hopes that they will drop
those principles which only Socialists
can indorse. For a reflection of their
promises to be "Non" partisan, JUS
titles my predictions in the matter.

ACCURACY OF EYE PLAYS
IMPORTANT PART IN TENNIS
Mental Concentration
Also Necessary to
Bring About This
Condition on the
Courts
By WILLIAM T. TILDEN, I'd


Germantown Cricket Club.
TNHE judgment of distance on tennis
i court depends solely on the eye. The
accuracy of the eye, granted that vision
is unimpaired, depends on mental con-
centration on the point to be judged.
Therefore to hit flying tennis ball in the
air, n feat which depends entirely on ac-
Curate Judgment of the speed of the ball
and its distance from you, absolute mental
concentration on that ball Is necessary.
The only way to insure this Is to con-
tinually keep your eye on the ball until
II becomes mechanical
More shots are missed by taking a
tleeting glance at your opponent just be-
fore making your shot than by any other
two causes.
1t is a known fact that 1t is four times
as easy to judge a flying object approach
ing you in it's last one-ffth of a second
of fight as it Is in its first one-fifth of 4
second. This is due to the focusing speed
of the eyes. Since this is true, TO look
away from the ball just before striking 1t,
or, in other words. in its last one-fifth
of n second of flight, robs you of your
last chance to clearly Judge the ball. Why
place yourself in this unnecessarily hard
position by looking at your opponent. You
will miss your shot II you do. William
a. Larned, many times national cham
pion, was once asked by an aspiring (and
perspiring) candidate for tennis honors the
most important thing in tennis. Mr..
Larned smiled and answered: Putting
the ball over the net In the other mans
court" Mr. Larned eXcellently summed
up tennis in that remark.

Game or No Game? Flags
AnSWer Chicago Fans
MYeA' LtSJss

Baseball fans in Chicago will
soon be poling their heads out of
their office windows, or detailing
their office boys to do that little
thing, to see if "the flag is up"
This will follow the system to
be introduced in the Windy City by
Charles Weeghman, president of the
Chicago Cubs, whereby flags will
be displayed from prominent build
ings in the business centre of the
city, notifying the fans whether or
not the scheduled game for that
day will be played.
Instead of smashing his thumb
as he closes his desk top with a
crash in the race to get to the ball
park, only to find that the game is
off, the fan will be able to turn
leisurcly to his office boy and ask:
"Jimmy, will you glance out of
the window and see if the flag is
flying"

Matty to Try Comeback

out if he is still there as a pitcher.
John Foster, secretary of the New

Club, made this announcement last
night:
"If the weather is good Thurs
day." said Foster, "Matty will try
his arm out against the Boston
Braves. The big fellow is bub-
bling over with enthusiasm and
wants to get back in the box-back
to give his arm test.
"McGraw has given Matty his
word that the big fellow can pitch
Thursday, provided the weather is
warm; and Matty is pulling for a
real warm day."

mis- are LOST. not WON. Seventy per
cent. of that so per cent. go into the net.
Hence Mr.. Larneds remark about putting
the ball in play, Since it is so essential
to put the ball in play, and it is impossi-
BILE to put the ball in play unless It Is
judged so accurately that it can be hit
fairly with the face of the racquet, and
since to do so one must, by mental con-
centration, see 1t in it's last one-fifth of
a second of flight to you, there Is only one
thing to do: KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE
BALL ALL THE TINE.

Talent Revealed

The relays brought out several good
men, but these games are not a fair test,
because often the men are not in their
right event. Smith, for instance, was
badly beaten in his 22O yards in the
sprint medley, by both Kaufman and
Moore, but these men would not stand
up with Smith on a straightway,
Yale has a good team this year and
is sure to score heavily in the inter
colles'ates With such men as Oler, in
the high jump; Overton, in the mile :;
Brown, in the hammer, and Treadway
in the sprints, they look very strong.
Yale also has three pole vaulters who
went over IL feet in their class games
last Saturday.
Mike Sweeney is helping Johnnie Mack
with track this spring, so they should
have a team better coached and con-
ditioned than any of the colleges, both
of these men are good trainers, and with
them working together they should get the
most and best out of the men.
