BY DENMAN THOMPSON.

AUGUSTA. Ca, March 21.-The wealth
er here has been a keen disappointment
to Manager Griffith, altogether unlike
the warm. sunshiny brand on tap last
spring Old Sol broke through late
yesterday afternoon after the gray
clouds, which have been hanging low
ever since the regulars arrived. had
ceased weeping. with the sun shining
strong as it disappeared behind the
Georgia hills. Griff predicted that to-
day would be bright and balmy and
ordered the boys to get to the park
early to take advantage of what was
expected to be the best weather in evil
dence since they came.
Recent copious rains and the inter-
mittent drizzle of yesterday made it
out of the question TO work on the dia-
mond. where the footing was treach-
erous, despite the fact that it is of
sandy soil. A pitchers and catchers
box was marked off on the grass to
one side, however, and a long batting
drill INDUCED in Craft, Lynch. Wald-
bauer and Shaw did the pitching. with
Berman and Charity alternating at
backstop. Those of the squad who were
permitted to take cracks at the targets
fred by the quartet of husky young
right-handers consisted of Shotton.

mem bership, but for BUSINESS reasons,
involving transportation obstacles, the
league decided to- suspend relations

Maryland State has out as candidates
for its base bali team this spring men
who have never even played the game
of them win At least make the FIRST
string squad. It is doubtful IL the
material for the squad is as good rs il
has been any time within the last ten
years. Only two players from the
whole squad Of 1917 are back and the
team this spring will be made up en-
tirely of new. men and some of those
who were in school a year ago. but did
not consider themselves capable
enough even to try for diamond honors.
Mornhinweg and Riggs, the former q
pitcher and the latter a shortstop. are
the sole remaining players from the
aggregation which started the 1917
season. Both are capable. Mornhinweg
can pitch or play in the outfield, and
Riggs is going to be about as good a
shortStop as one finds in college base
ball
Among the new men Johnny Else
man and Leo Snyder seem to be about
the best. Eiseman was about the best
player in the high schools two years
ago and Snyder made himself some
thing of reputation last summer play
ing on the local sandlots. BQh are
graduates of Technical High. Croton,
who formerly held down a job, back
stopping on small high school team
over on the eastern shore (Maryland),
looks as If he may be developed into
a fair catcher. The rem ainder of the
material is of a character that pre-
cludes any possibility of a forecast
as to what may be accomplished.
Much of what the team will accom-
plish depends on how well Mornhinweg
pitches. good hurler is nine-tenths
of college bali club, and if the New
York youngster can come through
some success will be assured. Mornhin-
some mighty good games for State, but
in previous seasons has been very err

Next week the team is scheduled to
play Hopkins. There is a whole lot
of doubt as to whether or not there
will be a team by that time.

As an example of the difficulties that sometimes confront directors of motion pictures and exemplifying their ingenuity in overcoming them, it was found that after having journey. ed all the way from Hollywood, Cali fornia, to Portland, Oregon, to take scenes in a prominent hotel there for Julian Eltinge's second Paramount picture, "The Clever Mrs. Carfax; which tops the select programs of- fered at the Empire today and to- morrow, that the lighting facilities were inadequate! that is to say, insuf- ficient current precluded the poss1- bility of making interior scenes in that particular hotel.
 There was considerable discussion and much chagrin. but finally Don aid Crisp, the director of the picture, "The Clever Mrs. Carfax," hit upon the idea of having all the sections of the big hotel lobby fash1ighted. From these pictures the entire lobby was reproduced at the huge Paramount studios at Hollywood, Cal.

MEDIUM HEAT IS THE BEST FOR
 HEALTH

The living room may be kept at 70 oegrees-no more. It should be occa- sionally aired out so that it does not become close, but the doors should be kept closed into the hall.
 The. dining room and kitchen should be heated to 65 degrees-most kit chens automatically rise higher than that. The bedrooms should be heated not at all except for the little time when people are dressing in them. The bathrooms should be made as warm as you choose. And the halls should be given no special heat, since we are always exercising when we are going through them. The idea of cold bedrooms is appalling to some persons, but it is really more wholesome to sleep in a cold bedroom and it is not too much to change our plans in these times so that we can always sit in the living room rather than in our bed rooms.
 This plan has been adopted by those who know the fuel situation and know what it is likely to become, and by those who know the possibilities of heating apparatus.
 Another way to cope with the situa- ton is to keep the entire house at a low temperature-say, 60. This is un- comfortable in a room where you are to sit, and is likewise conducive to colds. But it requires as much fuel as is needed for the other plan. The thing we really need is a comfortable sitting-room, since it is when we are inactive that we become chilled and are liable to take cold.
