NEWSY SCHOLASTIC SPORT RESUME.

With the High School basketball season rapidly drawing to a close the followers of the team would like nothing better than to see a third and deciding game played with the New Haven High School. It will be remembered that the Elm City lads broke the locals winning streak after they had won nine straight games. However the locals came back the fol- lowing Wednesday and broke the New Haven lads winning streak, also, thus obtaining revenge.
 The first game was played in New Haven while the second game was de- cided on the local court. Both con- tests were fast and interesting and a third game to decide the supremacy between the two would no doubt draw a large crowd.

BURNS MATCHED WITH REDDY,

When Benny Leonard returns East next week he will have a great deal of explaining to do. Word has been sent on from the Coast that Benny and his manager, Billy Gibson, are armed with clippings from certain papers in the Golden State, that either gave the verdict in the Willie Ritchie bout to the champion or call ed the affair a draw.

TT HE Blue Ribbons will play an All Jersey team a series for the cham pionship of the East, if negotiations now underway prove successful. Jack eavy has a crack team this sea son and if it can conquer the An sonian aggregation in the coming se- ries, it can justly lay claim to the eastern championship.
 One feature that stands out prom inently is found in the fact that the Blue Ribbons are not bakers. They believe in the old saying that actions speak louder than words. Usually the manager of SC crack a team as the Blue Ribbons will literally talk his head off boosting his quintet. Jack however, is silent.
 "Give the public what 1t wants and success is bound to follow is Leavy's policy. Quite right, Jack.

Another fast basketball game card ed for tomorrow is the contest between the Barnum and Lincoln fives for the championship of the Recreation League. So far this season neither of these teams have met defeat and the chances are that tomorrow's game will turn out to be one of the be@ schoolboy combats of the season.
 The league was organized by the Recreation Board of this city at the opening of school year and from it's infancy it proved a success. It acts as an outlet for schoolboy enthusiasm and pep and the basketball games aI- though not featured by any spectacu- lar plays, always turn out to be fast and interesting.
 Holyoke High School and Hartford High will come together in a track meet at Holyoke on Saturday after noon- The rivalry between the two teams Is extremely keen and one of the best schoolboys' meets of the sea son is predicted. The Hartford team has been working out daily and is said to be in good form.
 The following Hartford athletes will figure in the HoIyoke meet: 25- yard dash, McNif, Roberts, Goodman, Green and Levy; potato race, Warren, Hartsmark, Li1ley and Levy; quarter mile, Rowley, McNiff, Roberts and AL word, 220-yard dash, Roberts, McNiff, Goodman, Green and Warren, half milerun, Burke. Alvord. Abrams and Rohowsky; standing broad jump, and high jump. Addeigo, Joseph, and Flo witch. and shot put, Kane and Kelly.

 The New Orleans meeting has been so far productive of no few surprises, but financially the affair Is not what it was expected to be. The weather there has not been the very best. This has had the tendency of keeping the crowd away,
 HACK Egan, formerly an umpire in
 the American League and last season manager of the Milwaukee American Association club, is without a job. The writer met Jack in New York the other day. Egau said he had lines out on several prospective jobs. He has been offered a berth by an Eastern League mogul, but 1t Is doubtful if he will accept this.
 Egan knows baseball as few men in New England know it He has been player, manager and umpire. And only two years ago he was involved in a movement to organize an inde- pendent league in Massa sachusetts. As luck would have it, however, the deal fell through and he was forced to hook up as manager of the Grays.

D OSTON on Saturday will be the U scene of the annual B. A. A. games and judging from the list of entries just announced, this years carnival should surpass those of years gone by. Perhaps the most interesting figures in the meet will be none other than Tom Halpin and Ted Meredith-two bitter rivals They are both entered in the that Boston fans are in line for a most ctyenuous contest between Americas two leading speedsters.
 Halpin has already taken Ted's measure. This feat he accomplished d much to the surprise of critics-in a sensational race at Newark several seasons ago. Meredith has never been himself since that defeat and is par ticularly anxious to even scores. How ever. this is improbable. That Ted will give Halpin a hard contest is to be expected, but the latter has been carefully training and last week cov- cred the distance of 660 yards in sur prisingly fast time. Meredith, on the other hand, has literally been forced into this jam by confident friends, who believe him to be the speed king of old.
 American sport lovers always will remember Meredith, for he has al- ways been a gentleman on the track
 He has been a credit to athletics and all will cheer with him if he can come through with a victory over the Bos- tonian, but few expect him to accom- sAlizh the feat.

cal piles in the crib, where, over
wide surface, 1t is exposed to thorough
ventilation and drying before more
corn is dumped on top of 1t. These
racks do not interfere with the maxi
mum filling of the crib, as the outer
rack may be fastened back on the
rafters while the inner rack can be
raised and the space below filled.
The Smelling Trench.
The Smelling trench In the floor Of
the crib is another valuable labor
saver, because one man with long
handled rake can roll the grain from
fast as the ordinary shelter can han
die the grain. In this way the attend
ant is able to prevent corn slides and
jams in the drag. The bottom Of this
drag is at ground level and is smooth,
so that the drag can be easily pushed
under the corn, AS already stated,
this trench Is used as an inlet duct
in the ventilation system by screening
it's ends to keep out rats and other ro-
dents. At regular intervals tile ex-
tends from the Smelling trench through
the wall in order to provide for
cross draft of air into the trench.
F., Any or all Of these suggestions may
be incorporated into any crib of sim=
liar design. The expense of such i'm
provements would be repaid in one or
two seasons Of damp grain, The ventila-
tors which are used are readily remova-
BILE, while the drying racks are hinged SO
that they can be drawn back out Of

merly waste space in cribs with steep
roofs and high peaks. Furthermore, a
concrete feeding floor on which corn
may be fed to hogs can be installed at
the option of the owner Complete
working plans and bills of material for
this desirable combination granary and

The parent of the European corr

about one inch across the expanded
wings. 1t lays its eggs upon the corn

in or near the cornfields. These eggs
soon hatch and young caterpillars ap

leaves. Later they crawl to the I'M.

their work Of destruction. They fire

This phase Of injury is readily seer
and is usually the first indication OF
the presence of this borer. When ths
caterpillars become larger they attach
the main stalks at the base of the
leaves and 1t is not unusual to find
more than 25 insects attacking a single
stalk of corn. After the ears have
formed they are promptly attacked and
very seriously injured.
The caterpillar is almost naked, slen

Defense Of Rhythm in Poetry.

When a poet discards rhythm he is
discarding perhaps the most powerful
single artifice of poetry which is at his
disposal-the particular artifice, more
over. which, more than any other, en-
ables the poet to obtain psychic con-
troll over his reader. to exert a sort Of
hypnosis over him. Rhythm is persua-
sive. 1t is the very stuff Of llfe 1t is
not surprising, therefore. that things
can be said in rhythm which otherwise
cannot be said at all; paraphrase q
fine passage Of poetry into prose and
in the DISAGREEMENT the ghost will have
escaped. A good many champions of
free verse would perhaps dispute this.
They would fall back on the theory
that, at any rate. certain moods more
colloquial and less intense than those
of the highest type of poetry, and less
colloquial and more intense than those
of the highest type Of prose, could
find their aptest expression In this
form. which lies halfway between

now not more than 10000 or 1900 of
them left in the country.
The most noticeable popularity
about Ainu women is that they have
tattooed upon their upper and lower
llps what resembles a mustache. The
women are aot considered attractive
and their matrimonial prospects, are
quite injured, without this decoration.
The mustache is begun when the
girl is quite a child, until 1t extends

used being the 1904 from burning

The Ainu women are said to be
usually finely formed, straight and
well developed, with small hands and
feet. Their eyes are a beautiful soft
brown, their hair black and most lux
uriant and their complexion olive,
with often deep, rich color In their
cheeks.

garments are made-is woven from

sHuck PROTECTION FOR CORN
Many Growers sFaII to Realize They
May Reduce Damage to Grain by
improving Covering.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Most corn growers fail TO realize
that by improving the shuck covering
on their corn by selection they may
reduce the amount of damage done
TO the grain. Growers generally con-
slider nothing but the ears and kernels
when selecting seed. In weevil-infest-
ed sections in particular, variation In
the damage Of ears is frequently OBJ
served, but IL the matter is considered
the cause is usually attributed to va
Ration In the hardness of the grain.
Weevils attack corn of all degrees Of
hardness, and their progress in con-
Stunning the hard corn is only slower
than that In the soft. Some observers
have concluded that since weevils are
able to eat the hardest corn, they
would also cut their way through the
most resistant shucks in order to feed
upon the grain, If sufficiently urged by
hunger. Others have observed that
earworms may cut holes through q
large percentage of the protecting
shucks and that weevils will enter
through these holes, and they have
concluded from this that shuck cover
ing cannot be made a practicable
means Of protection. Then, too, there
IL q sentiment on the part of some
against large amount of shuck.

Millions of bushels of corn could
have been saved in marketable con-
dition last fall if proper farm storages
mad been available for the accommo-
dation O. this grain. The farmer pos
sesses no regulatory powers over the
weather man; he has no control over
season, but ne can fortify himself
against the crop losses which often
occur as q consequence of inadequate
equipment and unserviceable shelter.
Time was, with grain dirt cheap, that
any sort of a makeshift crib or bin was
satisfactory as storage for the grain
crops. In actual dollars and cents,
many farmers reckoned they could
stand the losses of a few bushels of
grain better than they could afford the
cash outlay for the construction Of de-
pendable, permanent storehOuses. For
tunately, the prevalent high prices Of
grains are pushing the props from un-
der this outworn theory. The loss of
several tons of corn or wheat. in view
of the present market prices. mounts
into three column figures, and 1t doesn't
take many such losses to make this
waste loom large as a mountain.
Crib and Granary.
The specialists of the division Of ru-
raj engineering of the bureau of pub
lie roads have devised a highly eff
cient and relatively inexpensive COM
bination crib and granary which mer-
its the careful study and investigation
of every progressive farmer. This
storage has made hit with practical
farmers who have subjected it to the
acid test of extensive use under wide
range of varying conditions. It is
adapted for the average, general pur-
pose, corn-belt farm. 1t furnishes as
nearly ideal conditions for the drying,
curing and storage of grains as are
practical. 1t minimizes hand labor In
handling the crops, while it favors the
maximum utilization of labor-eonserv-
/ ing machines. 1t is free of waste
space, while it is equipped with detach-
able safeguards for protection against
damaged grain in the way of ventila-
tors and drying racks which can be re-
moved during seasons when they are
unnecessary.
Prevents Spoiled Corn.
Investigations have shown that corn
which seems well matured at huskine
time may contain as high as 33 per
cent moisture. If this corn is heaped
together In unventilated cribs, much
Of it will rot and mold. On the other
