-WEEEYS s. CORNER

Baseball plans for the University of
Pittsburgh call for twenty games. The
season opens April "a with Juniata. at
Pittsburgh; and closes with Lehigh
University June 13. Walter Blair, for
mer catcher for the New York Amer
leans and late member of the Harris
burg league team, has been secured
to coach the Blue and Gold squad this
year. Blair is one of the best inside
baseball men in the coaching field and
should produce a winner. The team
will be handicapped to some extent
this year, due to the fact that no
freshmen are allowed to participate in
varsity athletics. This will make some
of the best material of the school un-
available for the big team.

Meadowbrook Club Plans
Big Athletic Carnival

Philadelphia, Feb. PA. - Entry
blanks of the Meadowbrook Club of
this city for their gigantic carnival of
track and field sports in Commercial
Museum on March 10. is out. 1t gives
one an idea of the great meet it is go
ing to be. Every year the program
gets just a little bigger and just SO
much better. There are three new
events this year; that is three are bill
ed but only two may take place. One
of them is a two-mile relay race be-
tween Dartmouth and Syracuse, an
other is a half mile race between Ted
Meredith and Bohlin, the Swede, and
the third is one-mile race between
Joie Ray, the greatest American mill
er and Zanders, the great Swede.
There is some doubt as to whether
the Swedes viii get to this country. but
if they do not, Ray will run a special
mile race against Windnagle, OF Cor
nell, Overton of Yale and Devanney
of the Millrose Club. Otherwise there
is but one change in the program from
last year. A 1,000-yard handicap race
is substituted for a half-mile novice
race.

Carlisle claims to have the cham
pion target shooters of Cumberland
county. This fact must be proven. M.
h. Stewart and j. III. Donson, of West
Fairview, Lave challenged any pair of
shooters in the county to "a 100-target
race. The shoot will take place at
Carlisle, in March.
City League bowlers are get
ting quite active. This is a forerunner
of plans for the big bowling carnival
to be held in Harrisburg in April.
These contests offer opportunity to
pick stars for the big contests. Har-
risburg will entertain the best bowl
ers in Pennsylvania, residing within
radius of fifty miles of this city.
Unusual interest is manifested in
the second bowling contest in the
Pennsylvania railroad elimination con-
test. 1t will take place tonight at
Altoona. The local Motive Power
bowlers will compete with the shop
team that lost out in this city one
week ago. In the event of a tie-up
the third game will be played on neu-
trail alleys. Should Harrisburg win the
local five will be in the finals at Balti-
more in April.

Indications point to a busy session
of the New York State League in
Harrisburg next month. This gather
ing has been heralded as only a
scheduled meeting, but it looks like
it will be a real session. There is much
TO do before the baseball season starts
in April.
President ]. II. Farrell is not yet
certain where all of his teams will
pay this summer. While there has been
good news coming from Elmira. it is
said this franchise and that of Utica.
may be sold between now and the
time for the meeting.
Reports from Utica are that there
must be sale of the club in that city.
Heirs want a settlement of an estate
of which the baseball franchise is a
part. Utica citizens have been hustling
to organize a stock company and there
has been much encouragement, but
not enough to assure success. 1t is
said that either Allentown or Bethle-
hem will pay the necessary price for
Utica interests.
At Elmira there has been also much
activity and with the aid of the Ro-
tarians of that CITY announcement has
been made that the club will remain
in the city. However. there Is a report
that the transfer of the interests there
is for the purpose of preventing loss
to the present owners who have been
loyal to Elmira fans and that the new
association is ready and willing to sell

investment
Whatever is going tn happen at

Thereby Eliminating That
Team From Race For City
Scholastic Honors

BY defeating the Harrisburg Acad-
emy quintet last night the Technical
high school five eliminated that team
from the race for city scholastic hon
ors. The contest was played on the
Armory floor and the final results were
81 to 10 in favor of the Technical lads.

son. Despite the fact that Coach Mil
Ter tried several different combinations
during the game the Techical five al
ways held the lead. Technical played
clever defensive game and shortly
after the contest had started Coach
Miller's proteges had amassed total
of eleven dual pointers to the uptown
lads four.
In preliminary contest the Techni-
cal Reserves had an easy time defeat

Urge Federal Bird Bill;
Need For Effective Act

Washington, Feb. "a. - The Admin
istration, it was learned to-day, is
anxious for Congress to pass at this
session a bill prepared by the De-
partment of Agriculture to make eff
fective the provisions of the ratified
treaty with Great Britain for the pro-
lection of migratory and insectivor-
Gus birds.
The bill has been introduced in both
Houses and reported favorably by the
committee of the lower body and is
now on the House calendar, but with
out any chance of passing at this ses7
sion unless the Administration gets
behind it, The good faith of this coun-
try might be questioned If Congress
fails to pass the bill, as it was upon
the initiation of the United States
through a resolution of the Senate
that the treaty was negotiated.

dangerous, and the local tossers held
the lead throughout. Hassett showed
superior teamwork, IN which depart

Chanqinu All the Time.

Often the change in the use or man
ner of use of some household item
makes widespread change in the
sale of lot of hardware items. For
some years rugs have been taking the
place of carpets This means the sale
of fewer carpet lacks, tack hammers
and carpet stretchers, but more carpet
beaters. Again the introduction of
vacuum cleaners cut down the sale of
carpet heaters.
So IN like manner the present fash
ion of hanging pictures from holdings
has about put picture nails out of bust
ness, but largely increased the sale of
molding or picture hooks.
In somewhat similar fashion not
many foot scrapers are In use because
concrete sidewalks are so universal.
The growing use of food choppers
has materially decreased the sales of
mincing knives and wood bowls.-New

incubation For Alfalfa.

incubation for alfalfa may best be
accomplished by scattering over the
area to be seeded surface soil taken to
the depth Of four or five inches from
another field upon which the crop has
been previously successfully grown.
The soil should be broadcasted at the
rate of from $50 to 500 pounds per
acre and narrowed in Immediately.
The spreading should take place on a
cloudy day or late in the afternoon, as
the suns rays are destructive to the
germs. Soil from the roots of sweet
clover plants also will inoculate al
falfa. Care should be taken to avoid
Introducing noxious weeds or fungous
diseases.

already been broken that close or closer,
a string dipped In a mild disinfectant
tied about the end Of the cord and the
cord painted over with a mixture COM
posed of one part of the tincture of
iodine and three parts of glycerin once
day till 1t dries off. The udder should
be rinsed off with weak disinfectant,
too, before the colt is allowed to suck.
The. first milk or colostrum is laxa-
tive and usually cleans the digestive
tract within six to eight hours If the
bowels do not move a laxative as two
ounces of castor oil can be given and
couple of ounces of warm water with
little glycerin injected into the rec
tum. 1t is hard to determine what
causes scours or diarrhea in each tndi-
vidual case, but the common causes
are changes in the composition of the
mares milk due to nervousness, over
work or changes in feed, allowing the
colt to gorge itself from the full udder
of mare that has become quite warm
from overwork, and from filth In the
food.
When the colt is four weeks old 1t
will begin to eat a little grain; whole
oats are the best The colt should have
chance to nurse every two or three
hours until it is about three months
old This is also for the good of che
mare, as her udder will fiji up in
about three hours. and if the colt does
not nurse or the mare is not MIXED
there is danger that the udder will be-
come damaged and the milk flow so
lessened that there will not be enough
for the colt.
If cows milk must be fed dilute
it with about one-third water and two
level teaspoonfuls of sugar to each
quart. Ordinarily a colt should nurse
until 1t is six months old, when 1t can
be weaned without any setback.
Grain should be fed, as without it q
good growth will not result. The valu-
able imported horses that have been sc
much in demand in this country are
fed grain from the time they are old
enough to eat till mature.
