FORMATION OF NEW
 DIXIE CONFERENCE
 SEEMS PROBABLE
At Least a Dozen Major lnsti- tutions Expected to En-
 ter Association

Atlanta, February 25.-Formation of a southern conference to govern athletic contests among the larger colleges and universities of the south was discussed at a meeting of their representatives hero late today but later it was announced that no action had been taken.
 The matter will be taken up at another meeting tonorrow.
 The proposal for such a conference was made at the annual meeting in Gaines vile, Fla, last fall of the Southern In tercollegiate Athletic association, when representatives of the small institutions in the association furnished a majority against the one-year rule and other pro- posals. At least a dozen of the larger southern institutions are expected to en- ter the new conference.
 The appointment of committee to draft constitution for the proposed conference was the chief feature of the first session. The committee, consist ing of Dr. J. B. Crenshaw, Georgia Tech; J. S. Thomas, University of Ala bama; c. s. Hare, Alabama Polytechnic institute; Lee H. Patterson, University of North Carolina and Dr. Lefevre, University of Virginia, will make it's report at the meeting tomorrow morn ing. During the discussion, proposals were made as follows:
 PROPOSALS MADE
 Formation of a conference to be com posed of the larger colleges of the south, state universities, technical schools, etc; adoption of the one-year rule; prohibiting summer baseball for college players; adoption of strict amateur rules; eligibility of players to be determined by institutions; barring of conference members from playing non- members that fail to observe rules of the association; faculty control of the athletics; cooperation with the A.

 Very pretty. really artistic rugs can be made from odds and ends out of material that would perhaps go into the rag bag or furnace. The braided rugs are the easier to make. Stocking tops, knit un- derwear dyed cloth, cut not too coarse. or old neckties-braided then sewed into round or ob,cng rugs or they may be chochetted. with large wooden needle make excellent rugs

 Tt is a strange coincidence that two of these Vines boys. Leonard and Joan, will have birthdays on Sunday and that both of them will then be l9 years of age.

GIANTS DOLLED UP

In the worlds series of 1905 the New York Giants appeared on the field rigged out in shining broadcloth suits of solid black. with gaudy white trim mings. c. Mack's warriors appeared on the field with the same dingy suits that had passed through summers dust and dirt. In the second game of the series, which was played on the Polo grounds, Big Chief" Bender took considerable luster off those suits by shutting out the Giants and handing out such a brand of hurling that the broad-clothed Giants were like s bunch of superannuated ministers.

Officials Club In Clay Target Game
 May Be Organized

Trapshooting is to have an officials club. An effort will be made to pro- vide capable and experienced office men, referees, scorers, trappers and pullers for. all the important regis tered tournaments. A standard fee will be fixed for the services of men and boys who know the game and can be depended upon to give satisfactory service.
 The first step in the formation of a national body of competent officials will be the formation of an official s club in each of the five zones--east- ern, southern, Great Lakes, prairie and Pacific coast. The regional sec retary manage: in eacH zone will inn mediately begin the Separation of a their ability to occupy one of the positions which are essential in the successful conduct of a clay target meet. Clubs desiring to employ men and boys for tournament work may address the regional secretary-man- ager of the zone in which their club is situated. He will assign the necessary officials from his list, always en- deavoring to send men and boys who reside in close proximity to the club where the shoot is to be held.
 A club will not De required 10 em- ploy men and boys whose names ap- pear on the officials club list. And they may employ one or more in ac- cordance with the needs. The motive behind the formation of an officials club is to give service to clubs which are affiliated with the A. T. A.
 TO BE REFEREES
 In the past clubs frequently have addressed A. T. A. headquarters com plaining about the lack of competent men to render decisions and man the traps at registered tournaments. 1t was said that at clay target meets where championships, valuable trophies and large purses were at stake, the decisions were lief. to young men who perhaps never had seen a clay target prior to the day of the shoot. Con- testants complained that they lost targets which may have meant fame or money because of bad pulling, or incompetent trapping.
 It Is expected that the officials club will result in the formation of na- tional organization. of referees, scorers, trappers and pullers every man being thoroughly familiar with the rules and the duties which he must perform, and with the courage to stand behind his decisions. Men and boys who get their names on officials list will not be re- garded as hired help" at tourna- ment They will occupy the same dignified position as does the umpire at a baseball game. or the referee at a football game.

The Crooks Betraying Mark

Harry Thompson Mitchell in Leslies.
 '.The public can be very thankful these days for the fingerprint system Y says Inspector Joseph A. Faurot of New York, an international authority on the marks left behind by the care
 ess fingers of the wicked.
 'sThe fingerprint bureaus of all the cities are cooperating" he adds, fin keeping track of thousands of crimi- nals with past records. And as for the novices in crime, the first offenders we are landing them as well. No mat ter how clever he may think he is, every criminal leaves some trace of himself, just as every snake leaves it's slime. In time most crooks are caught"
 It is interesting to observe how the fingerprint experts of the various cities are working together to appre- hend delinquents.
 There are some 100000 criminal rec ords in the police archives of New York city alone. As soon as con- viction is obtained, Inspector Parrots staff photograph the culprit and take fingerprints of all the fingers of both hands. The fingerprints are classi- fled by loops, arches. whorls or com posites and filed away under a num- Der, with the prisoners pictures and record. Names are of no value, for the simple reason that most case hardened individuals operate under as many aliases as a frigate has sails
 The executives of many big busi- nesses might well envy tho filing sys- tenn of the rogues' gallery. It is in- dexed and cross-indexed to point of perfection. Within four minutes after an unknown fingerprint arrives in In-' spector Parrots office 1t is known whether any of the 100000 prints in his files tallies with it. Within four minutes after a prisoner is finger printed, it is known whether or not he is listed on New York city's of- ficial roster of criminals. Four min utes! Tn some commercial houses it often takes filing clerk an hour or two to locate letter.
 callous California crook recently released from St. Quentin penitentiary decided to try his hand in New York He came east. Within eight days of his liberation he stood on the carpet in Inspector Parrots office, hand cuffed. naughty and hapless-charged with burglary.
 Blood N Thunder" said Faurot, reel ing off a string of aliases the prisoner had used at various times in his career -"in trouble again, eh?''
 The burglars eyes bulged Say" he said bewildered. ''howinell do you guys do it? I ain't never worked east of Reno before; never was in this burg before and ain't flocked with mo- body since I hit in here. How do you do it, bo?'
 Inspector Faurot grinned and waved him away. leaving the question for the burglar to ponder in Sing Sing. The explanation is simple. When man is released from prison, the war den sends his picture. fingerprints and record to the detectives of all cities where there is possibility the con- vict may go. They keep tabs on him. If he runs straight, all well and good; if he backslides the heavy paw of the law is waiting to tap him on the shoulder

A SLUGGING TRIO

Ed Delehanty. Dan Brouthers and Sam
 Thompson were congregated on one team in 1896 and there was something doing in the batting line. In the 43 games they
 played (Brouthers quit the gaIne) this slugging trio made almost half the hits registered by the entire team The com
 bined batting average of those three mighty batsmen stood .342. while the re-
 mainder of the team had a combined
 average of .202. It happens every now and then where three of the leading hitters meet on one team.
 Once the great bb-Crawford-Vea ach
 combination hit terror into the hearts of many hurlers Then we had the Keeler-kelley -Brode trio of the old Bal timore Orioles back in 1S94-95-96. Three batsmen whose names were coupled for
 many seasons on one team were Wagner, Clarke and Beaumont, and great bunch of hitters they were, and by their mighty bats kept the Pittsburg team in the running for many seasons. Connie Mack had great hitting trio in Baker. Collins and McInnis and it was due to the terrific hitting of these three that the Athletics became famous organi- zation.
 For eight years the Chicago Nationals received the full benefit of the batting ability of Anson, Mike Kelly and George Gore, all bona fde 300 hitters. and largely through the Nheavy hitting of these three the club won five pennants.
 From 1892 until 1899 Jesse Burkett, Ed McKean and "Cupid'' Childs were the sThree Musketeers'' of the Cleveland club, and these qualified 300 hitters helped largely to make the Cleveland outfit one of the most feared in the big 12-club circuit. In later years Cleveland had Larr Lajoie, Elmer Flick and Bin Bradley and they were trio of power full hitters.
 Today but few teams have three regu- lar 300 hitters on their lineup. Cin- cinnati, with Raush, Daubert and Gron. are the best fixed. The great White
 Sox aggregation had Eddie Collins, Joe Jackson and Happy" Felsch-but then came the aftermath. Detroit club can present Cobb, Veach and Heilman and stands out as the only outfit in the American that can sport three genuine g00 hitterS

SOME GOOD PITCHING

The pitching was of such Il high class and deadly effective in the se- ries of 1905 that there were no three- base hits or home runs made by either the Giants or the Athletics in the five games played, and only nine doubles were made. It was impossible for the batsmen of that series to hit Mathew son, Bender or Joe McGinnity with any degree of success and Ed Plank, who was billed to do the best hurling, wasn't himself. A batting average made against all the hurlers who pitched a ball in that series perhaps is the lowest of any made in any worlds series ever played, for out of the 310 batsmen who stepped to the plate only 57 of them managed to register base hit--an average of .fS3.
