 MINING STORY
 FROM SOLOMON

E. w. Quigley. the Solomon min
 ing man arrived in town for well earned vacation, after successful summer during which he handled
 a large amount of yardage with a small crew, this was rendered poss- ible by the excellent facilities with
 which he is provided, his water supply is one of the best on Sew
 ard Peninsula and is taken from
 the head of East Fork whose great
 water shed provides sufficient wat CT in any kind of weather The ditch is nine miles long andskirts
 the high and steep hillsides along
 East Fork to. its confluence with

For
 many years considerable expense was incurred in doing this as in ,hree places the snow piled up as high as forty feet, this was the case when deep ravines ran down the mountain side At last a plan was developed which has solved the difficulty and is termed a ventila- tor drain which Is constructed by putting posts alongside of the up- per bank of the ditch. These posts raise about l6 inches from the top of the bank a.d raise of 16 inch es of lumber is placed on top of the pos 8, then short pieces extending from the top of f'this to the bank is placed for cover and the space with in forms the ventilator drain, so that when the snow begins to thaw the water finds an outlet through this drain ard in an incredibly short time forces a passage through, and cuts the snow in the ditch so that a water passage is made in the long est air-draia In few minutes.
 There are thu ee of these drains on the ditch, one is 600 feet long and the two others 160 ard 12O feet respectively. AS MT. Quigley will spend the forepart of the win ter here, any one having similar can get advice gratis in a more specific manner than it is possible to describe on paper.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, March

hit curve ball pitching. but It II

will overtake John Levi. regarded

at least as a member Of the New
York Yankees.
Although Miller Huggins signed
Levi right out Of Haskell Institute,
the noted Indian school, where the
young man attained a national repu-
tation in several sports, the Yankee
manager apparently has paid the
redman no heed down here. Levi
has worked out early and often at
the Yankee park, putting in back
breaking day with smile, but Hug
gins, seemingly, hasn't been aware
Of his existence. 1t seems to be
pretty generally agreed that Levi
isn't ready for the big time.
In spite of his natural aptitude
for athletics, he appears to be a
bit ungain1y and perhaps the Yankee
board Of strategy has decided that
awkwardness constitutes a cardinal
fault. That must be the answer,
since Levi hasn't had a real chance
to show whether ne harbors the
spark of real ability under his
rough exterior.
This has been the case with many
another before him. Frank Baker

And Levi has something that
many a ball player has lacked, to
wit, boundless ambition and the
will to follow 1t to the end. He is
the first Yankee on the field and
the last to leave. None works
harder than he, and after an hour
of fly chasing many of them are
blowing like a grampus, while Levi
comes to the bench serene and
smiling. The latter is his most
trait. His good hurnor
is chronic and seemingly boundless.

.NAVY'S BOXERS
NEAR END OF
SEASON
Team Should Be at Its
Strongest for IntercoI-
Iegiate Matches
BY HUGH r. RILEY.

ANNAPOLIS, March 17.-After Q
season of unprecedented interest
and uniform success, the Naval
Academy boxers will close their
list of dual matches by meeting
Pennsylvania here next Saturday
and end the season in the finals
Of the Intercollegiate Boxing As
ISOLATION, to be held at Philadel-
phia, under the auspices of the
University of Pennsylvania, March
.27-28.
Pennsylvania was defeated by
Penn State, S to 2. and Penn State
lost to the Naval Academy, s to ].
This indicates a distinct advantage
for the Navy, but Spikes Webbs
charges are too experienced and
canny to take thing for granted.
and the team will make SPECIAL
preparations. during the week, an
ticipating a good contest.
The team should be at its strong
est for the Intercollegiate at the
end OF the following week. In
spite of the long series of decisive
victories which have marked the
course Of the Navy mittmen this
season, the winning Of the big
event is a different matter, and 1t
may we'll happen that a well bal
anced team, which has readily de-
feated all other teams, will fall
before the onslaught Of individual
stars.
It fs understood that Colgate will
enter its team, and the Navy knows
that it will bring a number OF col
lege boxers of the highest grade.
who will have an excellent chance
of winning in some Of the classes In
which the Navy has been strong.
This, alone, may upset the dope,
but individual boxers from other
colleges may do their part. How
ever, colleges entering must do so
with q complete team, and not one
or more individual stars.
Captain Lyon, ITS pounds; Hender-
son, 100 pounds, and Charlson, 1875
pounds, are regarded as having ex-
cellent chances Of landing firsts in
the intercollegiate. No better
heavyweight than Lentz has APP
peared so far, and Collins, 115.
FOUNDER, also has excellent pros:
poets. if he secures the removal Of
scholastic bans by that time. Rags
dale, 145 pounds, and Allen, 125
pounds, should land as high as Sec
ond. it is thought.
Every effort will be made to get
the team in prime physical condi-
ton for the Intercollegiate, and it
should be stronger than at any
time this year. Lentz, Ragsdale
and Allen, less experienced than the
others in actual ring contests, have
been showing notable improvement
as the season progresses, and, with
the veterans Of the team, should
make the Naval Academy the
favorite for the big event.

7 Y CONTINUES
ASSAULT ON
MARKS

What will Cobb do this year?
Taking 1t for granted that the fiery
Georgia Peach will be in center
field for Detroit in 1925 and that
his plans for quitting active play
are merely more powder for the
annual report of "Ty Cobb to re-
tire" it will be seen that there is
at least one important record that
he can surpass during the coming
season. Old Tyrus has made more
runs and more hits than any other
major league ball player, but Hans
Wagner surpasses him in the mum
Der of times at bat and the number
of games played in.
Cobb cannot hope to pass this
latter record this year, as Honus is
1871 games ahead of him, but he
can beat 1.-THE Flying Dutchman's'
record of 1O,427 official times at
the plate. Averaging four times
at bat to a game, Ty need play in
only 1872 games in 1925 to snatch
this record away from the former
Pittsburgh star.
Ty will automatically set a new
record every time he plays in a
game this year, for he will be con
tinually adding to his total of runs
and hits. He will out Nurnl
Nurmi Cobb's various records are
too numerous to mention, but a
few more won't do any harm.
Tyrus Raymond Cobb has batted
over 300 in nineteen consecutive
sea sons; he has led his league in
batting twelve years: he has batted
over 400 thrice; and his average
percentage for twenty seasons Is
$50! Besides that, he has stolen
S52 bases. There never will be
another like him. .-.--.

Squash Racquets Not
AS Tame a Sport
AS Name Sounds

Squash racquets is a tougher
game than its name might lead
one to surmise. AS played by
experts it is fast and fierce,
perhaps more so than any other
indoor sport. 1t is a sort of
cross between handball and
tennis played on a small walled
court with long racquets. The
players are almost continually
at close quarters and many a
stroke aimed for the ball lands
on the beak of some other part
Of an opponents anatomy.
