Mystery Explsinsd 4.

Clifton Hess, an employe of the
Pennsylvania railroad at Shelbyville.
Ind, relates the Indianapolis News,
looked out of the window Of the
freight depot the other day and no.
iced woman. A half hour later
he looked again and still saw the wo-
man. She had changed her position
only slightly, moving down the rail-
road track few feet. She seemed
to be strolling leisurely along, cover
ing about foot minute.
Curious to determine the reason
for her actions, Hess walked outside
to get better view. Then it was
all explained. The woman had a big
Rhode Island Red rooster with a
string tied to his leg. There had
evidently been leaky car of wheat
along the railroad, and the rooster,
oblivious to all else, was calmly fill
ing his craw while the woman kept
up with the procession.

UNCERTAINTY IN BOWLING
 ADDS MUCH INTEREST
Best Games Often Spoiled by Unex-
 pected Breaks - Accuracy Counts High.

It's the uncertainty that makes baseball the national outdoor sport. It's this same uncertainty that makes bowling seem to many one of the greatest of all indoor games, especially in the winter time.
 One of the main features about the tenpin games is that a bowler is apt to get split on most any kind of a hit. And splits have probably ruined ture.
 These splits have proven the down fall of many a tenpinner, whether in a special match, in a tournament or just in a friendly game.
 There are two splits which stand as a general rule only on pocket hits. They are the T-9 and 8-10. On most occasions the 8-10 stands only on a 1-3 hit and the 7-9 on a 1-2, or Brook lyn. What's more, it's next to impossi- ble to pick either of them. Unless it is in a match or tournament compet- tion, a pin toppler very rarely shoots nine pins.
 Plain Luck Here.
 Among the other splits that are just about impossible to pick are the 4-6, the l-10, one piE standing on each side 9ndMn Gf Ra drvf as fhs and sE the foar s pag luck whe many one of these is picked and bowlers who get them, if they do not shoot at them, go after the great est number of pins
 One mistake made by many bowlers is that they figure they have a split when the head pin is standing. No matter what kind of a break, it is not a split when the No. 1 pin is standing.
 The 2-7 or baby can be picked by fitting the ball between the two or glancing the pin and sliding it over for the '. The 3-10 is the same split on the right side of the alley.
 The 5-7 can be picked only by hit ting the No. pin with the ball and sliding it over for the '. The 5-1o is the same split on the right side of the drive.
 The 3-7-10 is picked by fitting the ball between the 8 and 10 and sliding the pin over for the '. The 2-7-1O is the same split on the other side
 The 67-10 can be picked by glancing the pin and sliding it over for the T. The ball will knock down the 10 pin.
 Accuracy is Needed.
 The 4-5, although it looks easy, is one of the hardest splits on the drives to pick. To do this, the ball must be fitted between the two pins. The space between these two is exactly the same as the size of regulation ball. The 4-5-S is picked is exactly the same way.
 The 4-7-9 can be picked by glancing the pin and sliding it over after the other two. You have to be very ac- curate to turn the trick, though.

HERRlcK TO TAKE
 CHARGE IN APRIL
Harvard Crews Still at Work in the
 Tank,

R. E. Herrick head coach of Harvard crews, will return to Cambridge early in April to take charge of the work at the Crimson crew headquarters At the present, time Bill Haines the profes- sional coach of the crews, is in charge and attending to all of the oarsmen. MT. Herrick is at present at Hot Spurings, where he is recuperating from a recent illness, and will leave there within a few weeks.
 The Harvard crews have been re- stricted to work in the. tank up to now, as there is still about one foot of ice on the river. Harvard has been invited to make use of the Farragut Boat Club by that organization, and if there is an- other cold spell, retarding the thawing of the ice, itsis possible that the liar yard crew will accept the invitation this year, as they did last, and do some rowing at Lynn during the latter part of this month.
 At the present time four Varsity and three freshmen crews are rowing in the tank every day, while the other varsity and freshman crews take ire quent turns at the indoor rowing tank. Last week the Harvard coach began instructing the oarsmen in the use of the stroke which will be used by. the Crimson crews this year. It is sim
