ers at the adjacent stations on which
he must observe. The tower consists
Of two structures entirely separated
from each other. The theodolite is
placed upon the inner tripod and the
observer is supported by platform
attached to the outer tower so the OBJ
servers movements will not disturb
the theodolite. All measurements of
the angles by which the positions of
the stations are computed are made
at night as the atmospheric conditions
are much better then. A lightkeep-
err is posted at each tower to be OBJ
served on and he operates special
ly constructed electric lamp powered
by dry cell batteries. This lamp has
small but very intense beam and
must be accurately pointed to enable
the observer to see the light. Lamps
such as are being used on this work
have been observed for distances of
100 miles in desert regions where the
atmosphere was unusually clear.
The theodolite used to measure the
angles, is like a surveyors transit in
principle but much more accurate. 1t
is equipped with micrometer miscro-
scopes which permit the observer to
read the measurement of an angle to
the nearest second of arc while the
ordinary transit can be read to the
nearest 80 seconds only. An angle of
one second can best be realized by re-
membering that if the telescope of a
theodolite is pointed on light 40
miles away and the pointing is chang
ed one second the telescope will then
be pointed only one foot away from
the light.

GIANTS To HAVE
4CATCHERS-

Sharps who had been wondering
all winter what Bill Terry'S plans
were to repeat for the pennant
found little in the way of enlight-
enment in the announcement that
the Giants will go to the post as
they did when they captured the
world series.
Terry let the baseball world
know he has seen nothing in the
moves of rival baseball club own
ers to cause him to make any
hurried shifts in his plans.
OF course, some observers got a
chuckle out Of the fact the Giants
have four catchers on their list for
next season. They are asking why
Gus Mancuso needs three assist
ants when he caught IA games
last season.
Another observer wants to know
why the Giants are taking II
pitchers down South when they
have Carl Hubbell around. Still,
the Giants have no important ad-
ditions to the pitching staff, only
Joe Bowman being obtained to
help out the group that carried
on so we'll last season.
Few smarter batters than Lefty
O'Doul have appeared in the Ma
tional League and when he says
that he will gain at least 40 to so
points in his batting against the
new ball fans will listen. O'Doul
blamed the ball in the National
League for his poor work last
season.
The Coast hitter feels confident
that instead of being used chiefly
as a pinch hitter he will be in
there regularly. AS the Giant OUT
field stands now it looks as g the
combination of Davis, OFT and
Moore will function again,

PH|LL|ES GOING
PLACES, SAYS
NEWP|LOT

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 30.-If
you ask Jimmy Wilson, new deal
manager of the Phillies, his club
is going places this year in the
National Baseball League.
"There won't be any stop
ping us-and I'm not forgetting
the Giants" declared the fiery
Wilson, product Of Philadelphia
SandlOts. Less Optimistically,
however, he added:
"'That is, of course, prOvid-
ing we can develop speed and
q strong and efficient pitching
staff"
Has Returned
Wilson, who gained fame as
a catcher for the Phillies before
being traded to st. Louis, has
returned to his home town and
big league "alma mater" as the
successor of Burt Shotton, whose
$4,000 yearly contract does not
expire until the end Of the 1885
baseball campaign.
"For years, even when 1 was
last with the team, the Phils
were known for their batting
power" he said. 1--WE now have
a well rounded mound crop
one that rivals th4 pitching
staff developed by Pat Moran
and, as everyone knows, a
team cannot go far in the pen
nant race without good pitch
ing. j. is my hope to give the
fans 9 team to be proud Of"
The new deal that returned
Wilson to the club also brought
a change in the design Of the
Phils' uniform.
To Get New Suits
Next spring the team will open
the season in suits consisting of
a navy blue cap with the script
letter "P" in chenille embroid-
cred on it in scarlet and outline
in white. The pants will have
two pockets and white shirts will
be trimmed with navy piping
lettering in chenille blue, outline
in scarlet, informing patrons of
the game the wearer is one of
the "Phillies."
The travelling uniforms are of
grey with scarlet lettering out
lined with blue and dashed with
white.

D. c. GUEST
JOLTS CHANP

The billiardist'S version Of
local boy makes good" can now
be told.
Our hero is AL Haga, D. c.
pocket billiards champion who,
when given the opportunity to
show his wares in big league
style, jolted a man who had no
license to lose to him, being the
world champion.
Erwin Rudolph, the titleholder,
dispatched here in the interests
of the Better Billiards Cam
paign," dropped the decision to
Haga at the Arcadia parlors by
a score of 100 to As. Most of
the other outstanding stars, who
showed here, have had little or
no trouble in winning from the
local GUESTS.
Whereas Rudolph could only
click off runs Il and IL, Haga,
playing like a champion, clustered
runs of 80 and 20.
Everett Crouch also forced
Rudolph to the outmost to beat
him at Lewis and Kruass, 100 to
SO, earlier in the evening.

BOWEN SCORES
OVER F|RPO

Near zero weather affects box
ing, too. Only 500 turned out to
witness the Portner arena show.
Because of the poor attendance
(and the night was not fit for
man or beast) Joe Firpo baked at
entering the ring for his scheduled
bout with Ray Bowen. Portner
officials smoothed Firpo by guar
anteeing the lad $50 and expenses.
Whereupon Firpo entered the
ring and left to his embarrassment
with a defeat chalked against his
record when Bowen uncorked
plenty of fighting to win the de-
cision by a nod in a 10-round bout.
Johnny Mays won a decision
over Bobby Lowry in the feature
of the prelims. This bout went
six rounds. In the others, Joe
Green decisioned Joey Schwartz,
Sailor McKenna won by a techni-
cal knockout from Johnny Ber-
razi, and Pete Buonavari de-
ciSioned Benny KeSsler.

NJ M'NA|R|SR READY.
So He SAYS

Owing to the fact the Athletics
have no first-string pitchers to
face the enemy next season fans
are not conceding the AS any
thing better than the second di-
vision. If some of the young
pitchers come through the AS
may surprise the skeptics.
At any rate, the infield that
will go to the post does not look
so bad, even in the light of some
previous four-man combinations
that have worn the colorS of the
Athletics so well.
OF course, Foxx will be back at
first and Mike Higgins, the find
of 1888 will be at third again,
better player in Connie Mack's
opinion than he was in the
season that ended last October.
Word from the South where
Eric McNair lives is to the ef-
feet the hard-hitting ShortStop
will be ripe for regular duty at
his old post next season. McNair
was out of most of the games
last season. His arm bothered
him so much that Connie Mack
and his doctors ordered a rest
and after working out a bit un-
der the warm Southern sun Nc
Nair says his whip is as strong
as ever.
Put me down at short
again." were his words to Man
ager Mack.
Dib Williams probably will
play second, although the opinion
seems to be that Connie Mack
has lost faith in the tall tobacco
chewing infielder and will trot
out Detore for the place so long
held by Max Bishop.

Getting $4,000 a year from the
st. Louis owners the way things
are going in baseball will be a
fine job for the Jersey athlete,
who found to his sorrow last
season that he could not get
$4,000 despite the big fight he
made.
May Reach Peak
With the return Of the lively
ball, MedWick may reach his peak
this year. He is a hard hitter
and his drives have extra yardage
attached to them. He finished in
third place in the list Of sluggers
last year, Klein of the Cubs and
Berger surprising him.
In 148 games in 1893 MedWick
hit .3O6. Among his hits were 40
doubles, 18 home runs and 10
triples, for a total Of 1896.
Some st. Louis reports have
said that Medwick is unhappy in
his st. Louis surroundings and is
one of the players who is on none
too good terms with Frank Frisch,
the Cards new manager. It is
said that Medwick would welcome
a change to some other club
where his chance of getting a
larger salary might be better.
Rivals Klein, Berger
MedWick. in the opinion Of
many observers, hits the ball al
most as hard as Klein and Berger.
He is % years old and learned to
play baseball on the high school
diamond of his native town.
Two years ago he was a sensa-
ton in Houston and was regarded
as coming star of the team. When
he reported to the st. Louis team
1t was FriSch who did most to
show the young player how to
make his hits and his batting
power count.
MedWick's chances of getting a
rise in salary are slight. No ball
player ever won a salary argu-
ment with the owners of the Card
inalS team.
There was the case of Rogers
HornSby who baked at the terms
the Cardinals offered him and
was traded to the Giants despite
the fact that he led the st. Louis
team to a pennant and later was
acclaimed by thousands of fans
in st. Louis after his team had
won the world championship.
Another case was that of Milton
Stock, who baked in vain at the
terms offered some years ago
Then there was the most recent
instance Of a player baking at
his salary. All last winter, Chick
Hafey refused to sign on the
dotted line. The club sent ennis
Saries to him, all to no purpose.
Finally when the season opened
Hafey was playing in Cincinnati
with a team that he afterward
described as the worst m a or
league outfit with which Q player
could be connected.

ing their coaches to work their
way down in the world at Yale.
They start 'em off as varsity
coaches, graduate 'em to the

picture.
Mighty strange goings on, we
calls it.
Announced Hold-0uts
Hack Wilson and Babe Her
man, two old familiar faces in
FlatbuSh, have announced that
they are holdoutS. The respec-
tive batting averages Of Hack
and Babe may not be so robust
in the good old summer time,
but they can certainly clout that
turnip in the hot stove league.
They can also make more ges-
lures going after a fly ball than
any other two outfielders you
can name off-hand.
Make Rosenbloom defends his
hght,heavyweight boxing title
against Joe Knight in Miami
Thursday night. Make has
danced his way through a thou
sand nights, but there seems to
be some doubt how he will fare
with this one. All our operatives
in Florida appear to think Jo-
seph will take him. But Rosen-
bloom is getting a $4,000 ilat
guarantee, and there have been
whole years when his title
wasn't worth that to him.

which go big out there. The
youngsters wear the silks" or
"colors" of famous motion

how Mae Vests boy, who has

sion, has grown quite chesty.
The movement to play an
annual hockey game for the
benefit of injured players,
which was inspired by the game
to be played for Ace Bailey in
the Maple Leaf Gardens, To
ronto, next month, is highly
commendable.
It will provide a needed fund
for badly injured players and
it should do more. It should
provide a brilliant hockey
match.
Rotate Game
The scheme is for an all
star picked team to play the
home town Leafs. It's a
game any hockey fan would
like to see. Why not rotate
the game through the vari-
GUS cities of the league? Not
all in one season, of course.
But perhaps twice year.
We believe it would be fine
advertising for hockey, just as
the all-star baseball game last
summer was one of the best
ads the national pastime has
had in many a season.
It might even be a good idea
to let the fans of each city

wanted to see perform against

A Birthday That Is
Sure to Make History
HOU the PeOpLe Feel
BY Bill COrum

NEW YORK, Jan: 3O.-This
Is. one guesses, going to be a
historic day for the United
States. It is the fifty-second
birthday of President Franklin
D. Roosevelt. Surely not in
the memory of any living man
or woman has the nation felt
the urge to honor an individual
in quite the same way it does
today - personally, fervently,
prayerfully.
Lindbergh's flight turned the
country into a maSSed cheering
section, but Lindbergh was a
symbol. His almost casual, solo,
ham-Sandwich hop to Paris was
high drama. Everybody, if they
live, gets to be So in time.
Even ladies who won't admit it.
President Wilson had a tre-
mendous personal popularity
during the war. But it was
hard to feel close to Mr.. Wilson.
It is not hard to feel close to
Mr.. Roosevelt.
The President swan through
trying, heart-breaking currents
to robust good health and hap
piness. Now it looks very much
as though he is leading this
country on just such another
Swim-alSo upstream.
It is significant that his
birthday is being celebrated in
every section with dancing.
There has been too little dane
ing these past five years. Mr..
Roosevelt coined and made
famous the phrase 1.-THE Happy
Warrior" Now he is doing
better than a fair job Of being
"the Happy Warrior"
Many happy election returns,
sir.
Drops Out of Picture
Tad Jones dropped out of the
Yale football coaching picture.
He is going to stay in the coal
business. In this weather we'd
call that a great break. The coal
business may not be so good in
the summer. But everything
evenS UP. Coaching Yale foot
ball is not so good in the fall.
We haven't been near the
news ticker for an hour or so,
but at last reports Yale was
apparently planning to adopt
the sewing circle coaching
system for 1884. That is, they
were going to name Ducky Pond,
of Torrington, Conn, head
coach and surround him with
group of high.powered assist
ants.
Pond is a Yale man, Of course.
Among his helpers, according to
the story, was to be Benny Oos-
terman, Of Michigan and Greasy
Neale, who came rolling down
the mountains of West Virginia.
This would make three separate
and distinct coaching systems
as starter and there would, no
doubt, be others.
Yale has managed to get
plenty Of variety, if nothing
else, into it's coaching in recent
seasons, retaining, it has seemed
to us, the worst features Of all.
Doom Chances
The present plan, if carried
out, would appear to doom what
ever chance the Ellis have for
q good team next fall, and
also to be manifestly unfair to
Pond. The story has it that he
is to be no more than a stop
gap. waiting the coming to New
Haven of Kipke in 1885. But if
1t is going to be Kipke next
year, then why not Kipke this?
Harry is understood to be, or
at least to have been, entirely
receptive and is it reasonable to
suppose that the aversion to a
head coach who is not a Yale
man will vanish in a twelve
month.
Ducky Pond was a fine cap
tain and great player for the
Blue and might, with expert
ence, make a fine coach. But
they have a queer way of allow
