been closed for the winter, in order to
have them in prime condition for the

part OF playing each hole.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Jan. 4.--In fast

Naval Academy won from the Cres-
cent Athletic cub. of Brooklyn, N. Y,
here this afternoon by rs to ~ In
the first half the playing was nearly
even, the period ending to in favor
OF the miuShi pmen.
Throughout, the covering of both
teams was so we'll done that neither
could develop much in the way of an
attack, but the youth and superior con-
dition Of the mdshipmen proved the
final factor in winning the game. Far
well and Lewis did the most effective
work for the navy. TheNvisitors relied
largely upon long shots. Heath was
the most successful scorer.
Ashmeade played remarkably good
game, but had a poor turn of luck in
his shooting. Referee Ulrich called
fouls strictly. particularly holding, and
enabled Farwell and Ashmeade to get
large number of tries from the foul
line. with good percentage of bas-
kets.

not in good condition and retired early

Skating on Thin Ice

The weather man played mean
trick on the First Aid bureau of the
Northern Division of the American
Red Cross just after the bureau had
sent to the local chapter warming
against skating on tain ice.
Scores of lives are lost each year
because children and even grownups
attempt to skate ON ice which is not
sufficiently thick to be safe. the
bureau said sit is the recommends
ton of the Red Gross that some city
or town official be selected to pass on
the safety of ice and to issue public
warnings in case any sheet of ice is be-
lieved to be dangerous.
Before the warning had reached
here, however, the weather had turn
ed so cold that scarcely any ice in the
Northern Division could, by any
stretch of the imagination, be con-
sidered unsafe unless it was affected
by strong current or the importing of
warmer streams.

ATLANTA'S FIRST SUNDAY
GAME DRAWS $4,000

Atlanta, Ga, May 2O.-Atlanta's
first league game of bail on Sunday
drew a crowd, estimated at from 12,-
900 to $4,000 people at Camp Jesup.
This with the fact that the street car
accommodation was not capable of
handling anything like that crowd,
points to the fact, promoters state
that Sunday amusements in the state
are demanded by the people, and may
probably result in the introduction in
the next Legislature of laws permit
ting baseball on Sundays.
Tennessee laws provide for Sun
day games and are putting their
whole facilities at the disposal Of the
Southern League magnates so as to
provide amusement for soldiers. A
lively fight is anticipated in the legis
lature should the bill be introduced.

the most vicious of the criticism
against the great emancipator being
from members of his own party.
1t is quite true that Wilson is being
abused by so-called members OF his
own party, but there are no consider
able number OF them. Hardwick and
Vardaman, two Of the most bitter
against the President, have been re-
tired to private life and Reed, of Mis-

term expires. The great masses Of
the American people are unmistah-
ably with the President while the
swiIl-fed politicians are against him.
No strong. virile man who does
things but has his enemies. Much Of
the criticism lodged against Wilson
will sound about as silly in fifty years
from now as the vapOrings of the Har-
risburg Patriot and Union written fiji
ty-six years ago. sound to the people
Of this day and time.

KING OF BEL CLANS
PRESENTS CASE IN PARIS

Brussels, April 21.-The arrival of
the King of the Belgians in Paris to
present the case CT Belgium before
the Peace Conference created great
interest in Paris. The fact that the
king made the journey from his capt.
al to that of the French Republic by
air route made his arrival more
spectacular.
Few knew that the king originately
intended to go to London that morn
ing but changed his mind at the last
moment. Crombez, the young Belgian
millionaire eviGtor, who pilots him in
all of his air travels told The Asso-
ciated Press that his motor was run
ming, his propeller just gathering
speed when he was informed by the
king that Paris and not London was
to be their objective on that parti-
cular trip.

acres planted in wheat at the farm
and it is in fine condition. There is

needs of the convicts the year around.
