ball players. who had been directed
to rest while after the arduous
work of the season on the gridiron.
The presence Of Mckee and Parr
on the basketball squad has had a
prompt effect for the better, both
being veteran players. who promise
much for the coming season.
The naval team played only five
games from clubs and the smaller col.
leges during December, but made m
auspicious start, winning all Of the
games readily and having the oppor'
tunity Of trying a number Of players
The new players who have made the
best Impressions are Garrigues, at
guard, and Harris, at forward. Gar,
rigues is a splendidly-built youth
weighing about IT'S pounds, and II
appears that be has an excellent
chance of falling heir to the place
vacated by the graduation Of Waters.
With Farr, the football end, who
weighs $50 pounds. the Navy should
have a powerful pair OF guards.
Weight and strength Is needed on the
Navy team, as the Army has a big,
strong set of players this year.
Ault to Remain.
There seems to be little doubt that
Ault, captain of the team this season,
will stay, at his place at center. In
spite of lack Of height and weight,
his activity and thorough knowledge
of the game make him very valu'
able player in this position, though
there was some talk OF moving him
to forward. Mckee, who was the big
gest scorer last year, is almost certain
to be a regular forward, and the
strongest aspirants for the other place
are Harris, Blue. Johnston and
Barnes.
The big event In this sport for
January will be- the game in Phiia'
delphia on the 2Sth against the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania. In 1890. the
naval five played the Military Acad
envy at West Point, and the game In
philadelphia will be the second for q
Naval Academy basketball team to be
played away from Annapolis. The
game was scheduled in pursuance OF
the liberal policy toward athletics
now pursued by the authorities.
The boxing and wrestling squads,
with augmented numbers, are pre-
pairing for their season under more
satisfactory conditions than ever be-
fore.
Among the football recruits to these
sports are Larsen, Conroy, Cruise and
Barchet to boxing, and Weidorn and
Noyes to wrestling. Carney, the big
guard, is expected ,o take up wres-
/ Ting shortly. He is badly needed, as
there Is dearth of big men, In
both sports. and Il possible that In
the heavyweight class Of both the
Navy will be greatly outweighed by
many of its opponents.
So FAR, no candidate weighing more
than lis pounds has actually begun
| work In either spot. IL this condi.
ton continues the representative In
| the unlimited class will probably meet
regularly opponents from twenty 20
forty pounds heavier than himself.

II Comfskey had remained at third
base. he would easily have been the
peer Of Jerry Denny and Ed William
son. Instead, he wound up at first
base, where he was known as the
greatest player Of his day.
A few years afterward was In
business in Dubuque, Ia, and my love
for baseball induced me to organize q
team. sent to Chicago for Comiskey,
then pitching, and his catcher. So
again he came under my notice. Al
that time the elder Comiskey was o
man of great political influence In
Chicago and he was greatly incensed
when he heard that his son had be-
come a professional baseball player.
I was soundly berated by Comiskey's
father and. indeed, for year or so I
had hard time in Dubuque lodging
old women who were chasing me with
hot kettles for making their sons pro.
fessional baseball players. But years
afterward, when their sons came home
and lifted mortgages or bought them
farm or two, those same kettles were
heated to brew me pot of tea.

 Get from any druggist 21s ounces of Pinex, pour it into pint bottle and fill the bottle with syrup, using either plain granuated sugar syrup, clarified molasses. honey, or corn syrup, as de- sired. The result is full pint of really better cough syrup than you could buy ready made for three times the money. Tastes pleasant and never spols.
 This Pinox and Syrup preparation gets right at the cause of a cough and gives almost immediate relief. It loosens tho phlegm. stops the nasty throat tickle and heals the sore, irritated membranes so gently and easily that it is really astonishing.

LENGTHY HEARING
 ON PICTURE CASE
Judge Klett Reserves Decision in
 GeidraitiS Charges

After hearing that lasted for nearly two hours. Judge George w. Klett this morning in police court re- served decision until next Monday in the case Of Charles Geidratis. a pho togra pher with business at Beaver street, who had been arrested for the sale of obscene pictures. Geidraitis was represented by Lawyers C. J Danaher of Meriden and NJ. D. Saxe Of this city. The attorneys and Pros ecutor J. G, Woods will file briefs.
 Grampico Testines.
 Supernumeraty Policeman Frank Grampico went with Tony Glance to the photographers place Of business Saturday October 22, and attempted to buy some obscene pictures. He was referred to the proprietor Geid- back next day. and when he did he was asked to return on the following morning. The policeman testified that, at 12:30 o'clock Monday noon, he returned and was brought down. stairs where 13 negatives were pro- duced from among which the police man said he selected one dozen. He paid for one which he received, he said, and received a receipt for s3, this he said being in payment for the dozen pictures. The receipt was eX- hibited. Sergeant w. P. McCue and Patroman Patrick McAvay then went into the store and confronted Geid- rats with what evidence they had. According to their testimony, the ac- cused said the receipt was for pho tographs to be made from negatives found in the photographers cellar.
 Danaher Examines.
 I Cross examined by Attorney Dan aher brought out that Grampico on his first visit to the place had one picture similar to the negative in his possession. and that he asked if more could be made from that one
 Lawyer Danaher asked for a dis charge pointing out that no man should be punished when he is in duced to commit a crime. In this case he charged that the police had entrapped Geidraitis into the commis- sion of a crime,
 For the sake of public policy and in the interests of decency no court in New England would prosecute man under these conditions: q dia bol- ical attempt to wreck a mans busi- ness reputation has been made, and the sale of obscene pictures is bad, but the attempt by sworn officers of the law to entrap a man into a viol- lation of law is far worse," the attor- ney said.
