Base Ball Slow.

Base Ball Slow.
Drafting a base ball team is little
more of a Job than Husker athletic
authorities anticipated. A big squad
has been working out during the en-
tire week, but Coach Rutherford, who
is in direct charge Of the base ball
men, has made little progress towards
assembling the team. Rutherford
wants to put in another week before
he selected any of the members OF
the team.
The battery situation is giving him
the most concern. He has big class
of candidates for hurting honors. in
GLIDING Harry Smith, Mackey, Ber-
quist, South Omaha High school
lad; John Riddell and Pickett, but the
outlook is none too promising, as all
of the material is inexperienced.
For catchers Rutherford is using
doc" Shaw, Ed Shaw and Ted Rid
dell, all big men, but fairly active. He
does not anticipate he will have much
trouble in finding a suitable back
stopper among the trio.
For the other jobs there is big
bunch of material, but no attempt was
made during the last week to line it
up.
Pleased With Track Team.
Reed is lining his track squad up
and is better pleased with it than he
has been for years. In the two-mile
event Glenn Graft has all the ear
marks of a conner, while Captain
Oycrman is one of the best milers
in the Missouri Valley conference.
Need believes that Overnan is sure
,,u;nt winner in that event. In the
hail mile Grau, Jackson and organs,
The latter an old Omaha High school
lad. are the best of the bunch.
In the quarter-mile Owens and
Townsend have the cali and should
prove to be point winners. Both have
lad a years experience and showed
up we'll in the Missouri Valley con-
ference last year.
In the hurdles Finney is the best
man the Huskers have had in years.
He did exceptional work in the Kan
sas City indoor meet and Reed is con-
hdent he will deliver.
In the weights, Shaw, Reese and
Lon Graft can be depended upon to
land places for the Huskers. The
sprints, pole vault and jumps are Ne
braska's weak points. Werner is the
best man in school in the sprints.
Kinlball, Jones and Adkins are new
men for the pole vault Werner and
Flint are working out in the jumps.
Grau, Overman and Owens are the
only letter men on the squad, but
Reed is banking on his youngsters
strongly to bring home the bacon.
The Husker mentor has scheduled
a class day meet April IA, at which
he will pick his varsity squad.

Lincoln, March 5l.-(Special. 1.-The
University OF Nebraska is very likely

angling for the former Husker star.
Washington university, St. Louis,
wants Rutherford to take complete
charge of the athletic department at
that institution. Rutherford made the
trip and looked over the situation,
but has arrived at no decision. The
St. Louis job would give him boost

in supreme control OF the athletic al

$1,000 a year at Nebraska.

Horrors of War. ExempliEed i'm
 County of Gila

The horrors of war are being ex- perienced early according u the fol- lowing from the Arizona Record, describing the physical examination, of candidates before the Gila county exemption board.
 Men being inspected are com pelled to strip in one room in the federal building and, after their weight, height and chest measure ment has been aScertained, walk into another for the remainder of the tests.
 "One candidate, arrayed in nothing but an air of extreme modesty was instructed to pursue this course, given his medical slip and started in the general direction of the door. At the entrance he turned and com ing back to the clerk, asked if he hadn't better don some clothes. 'Oh, mo-" the latter replied carelessly, Walk right in and hand that slip to the girl sitting at the left side as you go in It took the combined efforts of about 10 men to prevent the modest one from departing with out undue ceremony.
 Another young man was found nervously fidgeting about in the sec ond room, in a pose made famous by the creator of September Morn." :" From a thatch of ruffled hair to his feet he was one vivid blush. A doc tor noticed his agitation and ad- vanced to take his slip, but the pros peotive soldier drew back and choked, No. They told me that l was to report to the lady physician" '" Here his last vestige of nerve de serted him and another sensational escape was narrowly averted.'

FAIR EQUIP WENT FUR

Track Is Arranged at the
 Turns to Extract Last
 Ounce of Speed from the
 Thoroughbreds to Race

One of the busiest places in Arizona just now is at the state fair grounds where preparations are made for the opening of the fair which will take place in six weeks from yesterday. The grounds are being improved in every direction under the supervision of John Aiken who has been connected with the fair almost continuously since it's institution as a territorial fair.
 The race track has been remodeled. It was first ploWed and some changes were made at the turns requiring new survey. Instead of the cup shaped con- tour of the ground at the turns, MT Aiken has put in a steady and suffi cient slope The track will have a bet ter cushion than ever before so that some seconds ought to be shown to have been cut off of the track.
 The space included within the tracks is being plowed to be planted to oats which will be in their magnificent greenery by the time of the opening of the fair.
 Between the roadway and the grand stand a lawn has been put for the whole length of the stand and beyond it, greatly adding to the beauty of the grounds and the comfort of visit ors who will not be annoyed by the stands and dust that formerly thrived within that space.
 New buildings are going up and old CT ones are being remodeled and ren- ovated. There is more permanency of construction in the new buildings. When the older ones were put up. no, body forecasted the growth of the fair. Painters are at work brightening up the grandstand.
 When the fair grounds were bought 1t was thought that a great part of the eighty acres could never be utilized It has now come to be apparent that more room is needed.
 There are now p horses in the stables. mostly harness horses and youn zones. The famous horses are yet on the circuits or at the earlier state fairs in other parts of the coun- | try. But they will all be here in time for the opening.

TRACTORS AND
 LEADING RACE
 HORSES SC0N|NC

E. w. Zachau. secretary of the state
 fair commissioni returned yesterday
 from a two weeks trip to California,
 bubbling over with enthusiasm for the
 big show to be held here November
 12-17. He visited Sacramento, took in
 the California state fair, and had fine
 time but there was nothing in Califor-
 mia of sufficient importance to wreck
 his train of thought that is running
 head on into the biggest aggregati1n of
 wonders that Arizona has ever as
 sembled.
 One of the chief objects of his trip
 was to edge in among the big horse
 men who have formed tHe habit of get
 ting together at the California fair with
 all the steppers which were swift
 enough to travel the summer tracks and
 get over the divide to the Pacific coast.
 In this he was decidedly successful and
 returned home with pocket full Of
 entries to add to the lists that have
 been rapidly lengthening during his
 absence. MT Zachau assures the pub
 lie that the racing program this year
 is going to beat all former perform
 ances and that is q big statement for
 the Arizona fair with it's crack track and it's liberal patronage already has a record to be proud of.
 The harness purses alone will total
 more than s27,000 this year, which is $10,0OO more than was offered last year,
 and this additional fund is chiefly due to the liberal guarantees made by the
 mining companies of the state for what is known as the Copper Stakes pacing and trotting races.
 On the way home Mr Zachau stopped over in Los Angeles d few days. This was not solely for the reason that everybody who goes to California is l expected to visit Los Angeles, but be- cause that is western headquarters now for nearly everything in the amusement 1 line and the Arizona fair has always been strong for amusementS. There will be a big carnival company, diving l girls, balloons, parachutes and all the usual thrillers, with sundry other big events for which he is now negotiating but is not prepared to make announce ment
 The Republican yesterday carried story descriptive of a big tractor con- test in California where the makers of agricultural machinery gave a fine eX- hlbltlon of the comparative merits of their devices in the saving of labor and the making of two blades of grass grow where only one grew before. The Ari- zona fair is arranging for duplication of that big show at its forthcoming exposition. Twenty acres of ground has been rented adjoining the fair grounds, i for this purpose, for be it said with | both pride and embarrassment the state | fair has outgrown it's plant and is right now almost as sorely pressed for room | as for new buildings
 This California show is said to have l attracted as many as 25,000' visitors in
 a single day and it was the whole | show at that, while here it will be only l an adjunct to the fair. though it is eX- | pected it will be just as important an | exhibition as the one held in California. | BUY A REGISTERED HOLSTEIN | FRIESIAN BULL OR COW AT

"What the Railroads Are Doing tc

"What the Railroads Are Doing to
Relieve Car Shortage" is the title of
nicely printed pamphlet mailed us
by the American Railway Association.
The avowed purpose of the phamplet
is to bring before the bar of public
opinion railroads that refuse to CO.
operate with the association in the
efforts it's commission on car service
is making to relieve the shortage. It
is to be hoped that the commission
accomplishes it's purpose. And once
this is done, steps should be taken
to prevent a recurrence Of the car
shortage. The shortage has been a
disturbing element in business; ship
pers have sustained loses; mills have
been forced to shut down, and thous-
ands of men have been thrown out of
employment as result.

The United States is to acquire
possession of the Danish West Indies
by paying $25,O0O,00O for them. The
price is apparently more than they are
worth from an agricultural viewpoint,
but strategic considerations justify the
purchase. Then, too, Uncle Sam has
always been fortunate in his real

the Islands are worth every dollar
of the purchase price, aside from
their value as naval base.
