Light WORKOUT is
Held BY WILLARD
Champion Heavyweight Takes Things
Easily on the Fourteenth
Day of Training.
BY JESS WILLARD.

New York, March 1S.-It is necessary
for me to confess that l didn't start the
fourteenth day of training as early as
my past days. ! had that lazy feeling
when l awoke, and consequently stayed
in the hay as long as l could. 1t was
a quarter to eight when / hit the road.
The balmy spring atmosphere woke me
up out Of my sleep. and after we went
about mile the pace was a Corker and
MOnahan, Hemple and myself tore along
as If we were a trio of sprinters.
To make up for the lack of work yes
terday we strung out the road work for
over an hour. When I reached the hotel
had worked up a good perspiration and
had the feeling of a man anxious to do
athletic work until he was unable to
raise his arms. This is fitting example
Of what wonderful change can be &C
COmplished by a man taking advantage
OF the free. clear air.
After l tossed off my road uniform, |
slipped into gymnastic suit and went
through a few exercises that helped to
Increase my buoyancy more than ever
! went through the bending down exer-
else until my body worked as IL it were
well-oiled machine. Then I spent a
few minutes going through the stunt that
develops your shoulders and increases
your lung power. This exercise consists
of having your two hands meet in front
Of your body with the arms as stin as
ramrods. Then slowly describe a semi
circle. extending the arms back as far
as possible. For developing erect
shoulders there is no equal to this form
of exercise.
\ hot water bath followed. then a tepid
shower and rundown. Monahan and
Hemple were feeling rather strong and
they banged me around without mercy
BY tas time my stomach was crying for
food. Before 1 started on my breakfast
however. ! drank a few glasses Of hot
water had my favorite friend chicken
for my morning meal
The meal was over and I loafed around
reading letters and newspapers
We arrived at the club at about go
and I was agreeably surprised 10 find
there was no great crowd on hand to see
me work.

Grihmen goes without saving. Rondeau
right-hand hitter. is given the prefer
ence over the others who, with the excep-
ton of Shanks. all bat from the south
sac besides Shanks is being groomed
for an infielder.
Griff is liable to make changes later on
when facing orthodox pitching, for
Jameson and Horace Milan are coming
with a rush. Danny Moeller also looks
mighty good this spring.
Ray Morgans bOwlers, consisting of
Morgan himself, Foster, Griffith. Will
Jams and Mcbride, are TO bowl against
team called the Charlottesville All
stars either Wednesday or Thursday
night.
Last year these teams clashed several
times. the ball players always winning.
Since then the town boys claim to have
improved. and are confident of turning
the tables.
1t is also expected that Morgan's team
will enter the big A. c. B. A. bowling
tourney scheduled for the Capital early
in April. Grif has interposed no OBJ
lection providing the games are rolled
prior to the opening OF the championship
baseball season.
Turney Barber and Joe Judge were TAX
en- in hand Monday morning and given
lessons in sliding, Milan and others show
Ing how to hook the bag in the best man
ner.
Barber is fast on his feet and should
make good base runner-the same
goes for Judge
Nick Altrock has introduced a novel
stunt to reward the half dozen little COL
ored boys who "shag" balls for his sec
ond team each day.
At the close Of practice, Altrock lines
up the kids and then grabbing a fungo
stick knocks an old ball as far as he
can. The darkies start running with the
crack of the bat and the one who gets
the ball is allowed TO keep it.
Doc. Ayers during practice this morn
ing stopped wicked line drive with his
left arm and was excused from work.
There is a good-sized lump where the
ball landed but no bones broken.
Howard Shanks complains of lameness
in his legs and thighs. but his batting
eye is unimparied. for in practice Shanks
continues to drive 'em to the fence-hit-
ting all pitchers who face him.
Jack Ryan a member Of Grinf's board
of strategy, has worked wonders with the
Virginia team during the short time
he has been coaching the boys Ryan
puts in a busy day of it working out
with the Nationals both morning and
afternoon, then coaching the college team
until almost dark.

The State Press Comment

under spurious reform movements.
All over this nation there are cities
whose population has been deceived
into placing in responsible official po-
sitions men without experience. They
have gotten in on the crests of a va
riety of waves" and their only in
terest is in the salaries they draw.
They are small men in every way and
they are failures.
The city manager plan has displac-
ed number of them. Under it
cities are run like any other business
with the brake kept down on ex-
penses and assurance given of full
value for the money expended, to-
gether with high degree of efficiency
on the part of city employees. The new
year brought several more cities I'm
der this plan and in 1917 it is expected
others will seek relief through that
means.
The city manager eliminates the
deadwood. He puts out of business
the official oligarchy that has kept
whole families on the public payrolls
without regard to the service preform-
ed He has eliminated waste and
graft. He has reduced taxation and
he has driven the little minded Of
icials and fake reformers into isola-
ton.
At DAYTON. o., remarkable results
have been achieved under this plan OF
conducting the city's business. AL
though the city manager there re-
ceives twelve thousand FIVE hundred
dollars a year he is the best invest
ment Dayton ever had
The average salary, however. is nc
more than is paid to the incompetent
city executive who is the result of ac-
cident or of civic spasms that, so far
from furnishing relief, have saturated
city government with incompetency
and waste without substantially i'm.
proving moral conditions.

wallace Press-Times.)


The Caldwell Tribune pats the Wal
lace Miner on the back for having
knitted Borah, and says very bluntly
that the Miner has acted wisely in en-
dorsing a candidacy from Pennsyl-
vania, to the embarrassment OF the
Idaho man. All of which the Miner
reprints with gusto, evidencing pride
in the fact that it carries in its boot
a bloody political knife.
The Caldwell Tribune is one of the
most ably edited papers in the state,
and has been free lance for some
time, due to the fact that it is out
of harmony with the dominant Re-
publican leadership in Canyon coun-
ty. 1t makes free with the name OF
Borah when it lists, and enjoys the
sport of crying sikem to the Miner
But this does not justify the Miner
in its assaults upon the candidacy OF
Senator Borah, the only hope Idaho
has for a place on the presidential tic
ket of either of the great parties
Neither the Miner nor the Tribune
can profit by tearing down the man
who is now bringing to us honor and
distinction. Even the most bitter
enemy of the senior senator should
be with him now, as a matter of state
pride,

RANKIN SENT
TO WASHINGTON

c. M. Rankin, a director of the Pay
cite Boise Water Users association,
left Sunday for Washington, D. c., for
the purpose of consulting with Secre-
tary Lane of the Department of the
Interior, and officials in the Recla-
nation Service. Director Rankin was
authorized to go to Washington at a
meeting of the board of directors held
in this city Saturday. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Rankin will prefer
charges against men who have been
connected with the Boise government
reclamation project. He will ask Sec
rotary Lane to appoint commission
to investigate some of the transac-
tons that have taken place on the
project.
At the meeting of the board of di-
rectors Saturday indirect charges of
graft, intimidation and suppression of
facts, were freely made. The particul-
ar allegation which resulted in send
ing Mr.. Rankin to Washington was
that the report of c. G. Smith who
Investigated J. E. Bailey, former
watermaster, had been suppressed by
some one high in authority in the
Reclamation Service.
Session Was Lively One.
The session of the board of direc-
tors Saturday was a continuation of
the lively session held Jenuary H.,
when a new board of directors was
elected. The purchase of the Page &
Mott water-right again came up for
discussion. This was followed by a
discussion of the alleged suppression
of the report on John E. Bailey. 1t
was stated during the discussion that
the report of c. G. Smith was filed
with Comptroller w. A. Ryan eight
months ago but that the local water
users association had never been able
to secure a copy.
Mr.. Rankin in his address intimated
very strongly that he had the evil
dence which proved graft on the part
of officials in the service. He pro-
posed to lay his evidence before Sec
rotary Lane; 10 ask for the Bailey re-
port; and to request such investiga-
ton on the Boise project as his evil
dence warrented.
Board Authorizes Trip.
A motion was made by ]. w.
Brandt, ex-president of the associa-
ton, and seconded by Director D. R..
Hubbard, that the trip of Mr.. Ran
kin be deferred The motion was lost
by vote of 7 to 4. The motion that
Mr.. Rankin be authorized to go to
Washington was carried by unanimous
vote of the board of directors. Those
who favored deferring action explain
ed as their reason the lack of sufficient
