! Tale, with four vtterana of the beaten
I crew of 19m as a. starter for the eight of
1 this rear, looks to have a hard task ahead
' to derelop a combination to head off
t Harvard In the annual race at New London.
' Not slr.ce JM2-W has Harvard won"" two
races In succession, and the victory last
June marked the fourth In twenty-one
years for the Crimson. So spare have
been the victories' of the Cambridge men
that Tale is loath to let an eight be beaten
In successive years. If hard work will do
the trick the Harvard crew, with Us abun
dant material and elaborate training sched
ule, will go far toward taking; the honors
at New London aur&ln.
The Illness of John A. Kennedy, the vet
eran Tale coach, has been a great stehack
to the New Haven men. As welt Imagine
Cornell producing, a crew without Courtney
as Tale' without Kennedy. Vntll he gets
ifnto trim to drill his oersmen rowln- can
be conducted at Tale onlv In a haphasard
way. Captain Noyea ha called out the
oarsmen to Instruct them as best he can.
with the help of other veterans, until such
time a Kennedy gets back to work. To
assist him Noycs has Tde. Graham and
Boulton of the varsity combination of 1906.
Tale has lost Chase, who was one of the
.best oarsmen Tale ever had: Captain Morse,
J Weeks and Blglow, the latter belne; In
'volved, through his foot ball captaincy, In
abandoning crew work.
Plenty of Freshman Material
What the chances of Tale are for getting
out a crew It Is hard to say. There Is an
abundance of material from the freshman
eight, of last year, and that was a good
I boatload, or rather good In comparison
1 with the Harvard 'OS combination. . That,
It must be confessed, was nothing excep
tional, and did not seem to represent any
where near as good a Wray combination
as did the 'varsity crew. It has been said
that Wray did not have much part In the
making of the senior combination, and that
It was the personality of Captain Fllley
which made the Harvard eight so strong.
If that Is true, then perhaps Tale has not
so much to fear from the Crimson. It can
not well be believed, however, that Wray
Is so little to be reckoned with.
Qolng Into action this year Tale has the
four veterans mentioned. Last year Cap
tain Noyea rowed 3; Graham, 2; Ide, 7, and
Jtaulton, stroke. Both ends of the boat,
therefore, are accounted for, and It re
mains to flit the middle and pick up a bow
man. Rockwell, who rowed on last year's
four, is out again, being the only veteran
of that combination In college, It Is said.
1 Williams, a Junior, who has been trying
! for the 'varsity for two years, might to be
rowing timber by this time. Doty, who
I rowed in his freshman crew three years
i ago, and Ballard, a senior, who has had
;' rowing experience, ars worth mentioning.
I . v Foot Ball Mea for Crew.
' There are two foot ball men out for the
crew, Captain Sammy Mors and Bob
Forbes. They are strong men, but their
rowing experience Is almost nothing.
Forbes might better be out running-. It
seems, because he has a track record of
10)4 seconds for 100 yards some persons say
10, even and the track team needs htm.
As a general thing, foo ball men do not
make crack oarsmen, no matter how good
' they may be as foot ball players. That Is
general statement, and generalities are
.dangerous. The writer Is thinking now
particularly of men like Morley and Dick
I Smith of Columbia, sturdy and powerful
Coot ball players, who could not get the
hang of rowing In a season.
Last years freshman squad at Tale pre
sents the following men for the crew:
Rite, Mayer, Peyton, Livingston, Pierce,
Pomeroy, Howe, Huff, Bateson, Brooks,
Domlnlck, Dunklee and Robblns. There
are some other claaa crew men, and alto
gether the first draft of candidates brought
out only forty-two men. This Is not a
good showing for Tale, or for any other
college, for that matter, but it must be
borne In mind that the quality of the oars
men Is fairly high. It will be a case of
rising to the occasion at Tale this year,
and -the Tale pluck, of which one hears so
much, except among Tale men, will have
f be shown. It will take a boatload of
Kick to beat Harvard, but the Tale men
ve hopes. ,
Turmoil la Middle West.
The very latest front the middle west In
the line of-athletlc turmoil la the Big Four
agreement, which appears not to be an
agreement at all. Some sort of an an
nouncement of a program for four of the
'big colleges s announced from Chicago,
'and from all appearances It was a settled
I thing. But in view of the fact that Just
'half of the new Big Four. has not ratified
j ths agreement there may be said to be a
reasonable doubt. Until Michigan and Wis
1 consln endorse the action taken there will
i be a Big Two, and perhaps there may be
i only a Big One, If Minnesota decides to
' disagree with Chicago. . . .-
The program ot the Big Four, as It will
have to be called until It lessens In slse. Is
a .vary admirable one. It provides for con
ducting sport on a fine, gentlemanly basis.
kTh Idea of -host and guest In regard to
.competitions Is the beat phrasing of tbe
jrue religion that should exist between
conipr'lng learns that haa been put on the
market thus far. Only there creeps In a
trifling doubt as to whether these thing
can be legislated Into existence. There Is
no-doubt that the Big Four mean welL But
tbey baok on ruling a thing that ought to
I bo an Inborn Instinct with athletes.
It is Interesting to see expressed by Ed
ward Cochems, the foot ball coach at St.
Louis .university, an Idea that exists here
In. the east and that Is that the formation
of the. Big Four Is going to result In the
breaking up of the Big Nine, otherwise the
Western Conference Intercollegiate Ama
teur association. Cochems says: "If I
were one- of the Big Nine, do you suppose

I would stand for the union of four of the
oonferrnc. colleges against the other BveT
Would youT I did not attend the meeting
of the four, but from what I have read I
believe that the dissolution of the confer
ence Is at hand."
It seems almost to follow that If four
Colleges get together and plan a schedule
of toot bsll games In direct oupoettlon to
the Ideas of the conference rjlers trouble
must arise. The Big Four are powerful
enough to go It alone, and they are suffi
cient to themselves. If tbey have to go It
alone it may not be so bad for the other
colleges out west. There are many that
have been trying to get Into the conference
and have faileo because there Is no room
for them. With the Big Four contesting
In their own separate arrangement It might
not be harmful to form another association
that would give the smaller colleges a bet
ter chance.
Betweea Yale aad Dartaaoath.
In a slightly savage moment the New
Haven Register boosts Dartmouth and
lams Tale thus: "Dartmouth was this
year admitted to the Intercollegiate Hockey
association and haa shown Its appreciation
by trimming the older teams of the league.
However, It la a consolation to remember
that although the newly admitted team
may win all- Ita games, the Tale team has
prestige enough to elect three captains In
a single season for a team that wins at
rare Intervals." Which may be called praise
from Sir Hubert.
Scleace aad Physical Train In sr.
A very Interesting deduction Is made by
Dr. Edward H. Nichols of Harvard, a
graduate member of the athletic commit
tee and himself an old athlete, as to the
capabilities of professional trainers and
their scientific knowledge of the effects of
and reasons for what they do. In a recent
scries of examinations to select a trainer
for the Harvard team many questions
were asked the candidates, with a view to
finding out what the men really know of
their profession.
At the close of a running comment on
their answers Dr. Nichols said: "To sum
up, then, there was no practical agreement
upon the amount of work, the length of
time during which men could be kept In
top condition or the character of the food
to be given to men In training. There was
practically complete agreement that weight
was the one accurate Index of condition.
None of the men had had any medical
education and their Judgment was based
entirely upon experience and the 'rule of
thumb.'
'The whole thing then comes down to a
very Indefinite general Impression, plus the
Indication shown accurately by the weigh
ing scales, and all this seems to show that
the science of training is a very Indefinite
and crude one, and that the most valuable
trainer Is In all probability the man who
knows human nature, especially the nature
of young men, best."
If It Is permitted to one who is neither
trainer nor doctor to ' say It, the last
clause saves the whole statement of, the
Harvard man. If training athletes were a
matter of chemical formula, adding so
much sleep to so much work and so much
food without regard to individual peculiari
ties, training would . be an exact science,
which from Its very nature It Is not and
cannot be. The personal equation of the
athlete Is what counts In training. It Is
the best psychologist who Is the best
trainer, or, as Dr. Nichols puts It so well,
"the most valuable trainer Is In all proba
bility the man who knows human nature,
especially the nature of young men, best."
Effect of Strain on Boys.
There are some very Interesting remarks,
too, by Dr. John Babat Blake, which ap
pear also In the Boston Medical and Sur
gical . Journal, regarding schoolboy ath
letics. He examined many boys In schools
between the ages ot 14 and 20 years, and
hi remarks carry all the weight of care
ful examination and serious thought In
part they are:
"Is the strain In the intersoholastlo con
tests disproportionate to the strength of
the boys. If properly trained? And are the
methods of training for these contests the
best that can be devised? i '
"I believe the strains Involved are not too
great for properly selected and properly
trained boys, but there are too frequent
cases of poor Judgment, both In the selec
tions of Individuals and In the character
of their preparation.
"The first and one of the most serious
objections In selection consists In permitting
and at times compelling a bo of excep
tional skill to compete In two, three or oven
four sports. This requires more or less
continuous training throughout the entire
school year, sometimes beginning before
the school opens and occasionally continu
ing through the acatlon periods.
"For this continuous, unrelenting physical
exertion, the boy's growing, organism is not
so well adapted as that of a more mature
sge, and In accompaniment of the physical
Is, of course, the mental strain.
"The general rule, to which Individual
exertions could be made, should be that
no boy should represent his school In more
than two sports, and that these should be
separated by considerable periods of time."
Dr. Blake considers publicity us a nervous
strain on the I oye, and he also writes of the
effect of overwork caused In some Instances
by the sacrifice of the Individual for the
glory of the team or school as a whole.
Advaataa-c of Athletics. -,
Commenting on the advantage of par
ticipating In various sports he writes:
"0( these, rowing is unquestionably, the
best; It possesses the fewest unpleasant
and the greatest number of desirable char
acteristics. It Is In the first place firmly
controlled by a committee of a large associ
ation, whose members are mature men of
Judgment, whose Interest In rowing ii
keen, but who are awake to the Importance
of supervision and regulation. '
"The coaches are carefully selected, the
exercise Is not tdb severe, the actual rowing
takes place but three times, a week, and
extends over a long period, and the medical
examination Is a prerequisite to competi
tion. "Its only disadvantage is that the actnal
race Is always a bard physical effort; at
I times conditions of distinct temporary
i collapse have occurred at the finish line.
but I have never known of any lasting
effect.
"Bnse bsll Is second ss a' beneficial sport.
It lacks the grueling contests of rowing,
but in Its practice. Its coaching and the
circumstances of Ita game. It la distinctly
Inferior. It Is. however, an admirable
exercise for the light, skilful boy; and. un
llko miry other sports, does not put too
great a premium on simple muscular
t renal h.
"Foot boll is third, and distinctly better
than track games: this, of course Is In
direct opposition to the Judgment of many
and particularly to those who share the
exaggerated and prejudiced views against
the game, which are at present so wide
spread. "Foot ball suffers In common with all the
roi-a-her sports, those which President
Roosevelt so well described as ths "personal
cortact games' prrlng, wrestling. la
crrsse. hockey, etc., from the buvbear of
miner and at times major injuries. The
real objections to foot ball and ths writer
11 1 eves that they are reel, though not
insuperable-lie not In physical, but In
moral conditions."
Foot Ball the Best.
lit will be cheering Indeed to many to
rU the opening line of the next paragraph.
It says of foot ball:
"As an all-round game It la still ths best
we know, and It physical disadvantages
could be easily reduced three-fourths by
the simple expedient particularly desirable
In preparatory schools of having teams
with a weight restriction, a haa, from
time Immemorial, been the custom In the
allied sports of wrestling and sparring;
feather weight, light weight, middle weight
and heavy weight teams would do more
to diminish the casualties and Increase the
attractiveness of foot ball than a long list
of other complicated and cumbersome re
forms. '
"Foot ball comes at a season of the year
when the boys are best prepared for hard
exercise and the weather best adapted for
It. It season Is short. The writer be
lieves that the training should be less re
vere; there should be little or no running
as an adjunct to the practice, and the
practice Itself, now of daily occurrence,
should be limited to three times a week.
The supervision both of contestants and
spectators should be Infinitely more thor
ough, more persistent and more effective
than It now is.
"Track games are fourth In order of de
sirability. The reasons are that many of
the contests are extremely severe physical
tests, fully as exhausting as the rowing
rsces. Much of the practice and training
Is Indoor work and occurs in the winter;
at least one of the meetings Is an Indoor
contest; and many who have played foot
ball, and are Istef to row, are permitted
to participate. The writer considers the In
door mile run and the Indoor relay race
as the two most severe physical strains
to which school boys are today submitted,
with the possible exception of the Mara
thon run.
"The Indoor meeting might be omitted
without serious consequences; seldom. If
ever, should a boy competing In foot ball
and rowing be permitted to go on the track
team; practically never should a boy be
allowed tiwun either the mile or the relay
Indoors, and to enter any other event In
the same meeting.
"Basket ball Is the least desirable of the
major school sports. The physical and
moral risks are alike serious. The contest
takes place indoors and on hard floors.
The game at present possesses little claim
to peculiar advantages not possessed In
equal or greater degree by other and In
other respects more desirable sports."
Dr. Blake favors a paid coach and Is
opposed. to the use ot tobacco or alcohol.
He takes up the subject of food and man
agement of athletics and treats them ex
haustively.
MAY CLOSE THE! QIAIL 8EASOK
Bills la I.esTlalntare Aim at Protection
of Bob White.
If bills Introduced by the fish and game
committees In both houses ot the legisla
ture are enacted Into law the shooting of
quail will be prohibited until such a time
as a future legislature sees fit to declare
an open season. The bills also propose to
close the season entirely for deer and pro
vide cnanges in tne open season lor nan
and some of' the game birds. The quail
bill has passed the house.
Under the proposed law the open season
for prairie chicken, sage hens and grouse
has been made from September' to and
Including November of each year, which Is
an addition of the month of September.
The season on wild ducks, geese, brants,
crane and all game water fowls Is left
as It Is, from September 1 to April 15. The
season on Jack snipe, Wilson snipe and
yellow leKS Is to be from September 1 to
May 16 instead of to April 15, as at present.
The open aeaeon for wild pigeons, doves
and plover Is recommended to be made
from September 1 to November $0, Instead
of as at present, from April 15 to October
80. The trout season Is to be changed to
make fishing legal from April 1 to October
1 Instead of from June 1 to October 31, as
at present. Under the proposed law all
other fish may be caught from April 1 to
November 16, Instead of from April 1 to
October 31, under the present law.
Deputy Game Warden Carter In his re
port to the governor for the last two years
says:
"The Increase In certain varieties of our
game birds has been marked, notably our
pinnated and sharp tailed grouse. The
former species were originally found in
great numbers In all the states from Ken
tucky on the east to the Rocky mountains
on the west, but Increased population, the
breaking up of the prairie lands, thereby
destroying their homes, and the ever ready
market hunter to kill them for their com
mercial value, have driven them Into a
small area, namely, the prairie sections of
Nebraska,' northern Kansas and the Da
kota, and they are now rarely found as
far east as Illinois.
'The sharp tailed grouse are native of
the short grass country and have shown
An lni.r,nM ,mal tn ihfit nf the nlnnated.
We have received many words of encour-!
agement from officers or the Department
of Agriculture at Washington, D. C. and
many congratulations for the stand 'we
have taken for the preservation of these
noble game birds and especially the pin
nated, which Is fast becoming extinct in
this country.
"With our vast areas of prairie lands,
with strict enforcement of our game laws
and a continued campaign against commer
cialism, I predict the preservation of these
birds for many years to come, and I be
lieve that our enlightened people of today
will not permit them to follow In the wake
of the wild pigeon and the buffalo, which
we of the younger generation know only
from history. .
"Quail have decreased during the last
biennial year owing to the very severe win
ter of 1905. when their food supplies were
covered with snow and eleet. They per
Ixhed in countless thousands from cold and
starvation. These birds being more ao
mestlc In their habits, however, will In
crease rapidly and a few years will find
them plenty again in most localities In the
state.
"Sportsmen generally have been very
considerate of these birds, and many of
my acquaitancea have foregone the pleas
ure of the annual outing in pursuit of
them on account pf their depleted condition-
.
"Song and Insectivorous birds have
been the objects of especial Interest and
study during the past biennial.
"The more we study their habits, th
more we realise their value to the agri
cultural and horticultural Interests of
the state and the more determined we are
to protect them.
"Several violations have been orpsecuted
successfully. In addition to enforcing the
law, I published a leaflet, dedicated to
the 'School Boys and Our Wild Birds.
and through the kindness of some of our
school superintendents distributed them
as far as our funds would permit in the
public schools.
"The result of the work was spontane
ous, and for many days after the dis
tribution of the leaflet the mall brought
many letters of commsndatlon from
patrons of the schools.
"Requests have been made by commis
sioners pf almost every other state, from
officers of Audubon societies and news
paper publishers, both foreign and state,
who have commented on the work.
"Our game and fish laws are generally
good. I shall ask the legislature this
winter to pass a law to prohibit the
sale of our wild game; alrj to prohibit
the killing of the few deer, antelope and
beaver we have left, and with a few cor
rections In the penal clauses of our
statutes our law will be adequate for the
present wants.
"It has been our policy to go when in
vited to assist In the organization of gim
clubs throughout the state. I do not
believe that our American men and boys
should be deprived of the use of firearms.
Those who are fond of shooting should
be provided with a way to work off their
surplus enthusiasm during the closed sea
son and constant practice at Inanimate
targets unconsciously prepare a boy
abundantly for his country's call to arms.
My experience is that where we have a
good working Ain club, properly organised
and under good management, we have few
reports of game violations."
The 'fish and game committees of the
two houses will hold an pen meeting
Monday night to hear person interested
in the proposed game laws. The meeting
will be held In the senate chamber.
POLITICS OVER BOWUIO TOI'RXET
Tatars Aro - Warntlasr fa for the
National Association Meet.
Politics Is warmlna- up for the St. Lout
tournament of the National Bowling asso

lit. Cincinnati haa sent circular all over
the country boosting the candidacy nf
Carry Harmann for president and also
boosting that city as the proper place for
holding the tournament in VA. St. Paul
also has a bid out for the tournament.
R. H. Bryson of Indianapolis is conduct
ing a vigorous mall campaign to succeed
himself in the presidency and Adam Hahn
of Pittsburg Is an avowed candidate for
the vice presidency.
The entries have been quite encouraging.
Among those received during the last week
In addition to those received before that
date are the Hrunswlck-Balke-Collender
team, with W. V.. Thompson at the htd
the Duesseldorfer and Reliance team of In

WHT PA'S FOES ARE lEA8Y
Disconcerted Because of Evident
Power of Ills Team.
Pretty Percy Plnedreama has been yelp
ing about Omaha's weakness In the In
field, writing "pieces for the prints" to
the effect that every team in the Western
league shows signs of strength (or the
coming season except Omaha Omaha, he
says, will be lamentably weak in the In
field. Just for the benefit of Pretty Percy
and any of his friends who might be cred
ulous enough to take him seriously this
reference to one member of Pa's Infleld Is
quoted from the Oakland correspondence
to the Sporting News:
Buck Franks, for many seasons connected
with the local team, has accepted the cap
taincy of the Omaha cluh, "Buck" la on
of the most clever shortstops In the coun
try, and the Omaha fans have something
to look forward to when playing begins.
It's perhaps as someone has suggested,
the evident power of Pa's new Infleld, so
far as made up, Is disconcerting his friends,
the enemy and not the inability. With a
star In his respective league at second,
short and third and a chance of three dif
ferent fast ones for first it is Indeed de
pressing for- subsidised prexa s gents and
their bosses to contemplate Omaha' In
field, to say nothing of Its outfield, two
members of which, Harry Welch and Aut
rey, have been sought by many teams,
Dea Moines having offered two of the Can
tlllons' best, one from Milwaukee and one
from Des Moines, for the lanky outfielder.
Clark Griffith haa been amoKeo out on
the Chase salary matter. He comes put
flatly and denies the persistent reports that
his great first baaeman has been working
for the pitiful sum of $1,600 and was about
to go back to Sun Jose because ' he could
not get a bigger amount from New York.

put on the market, was to make no PROMISE in our salesmanship,
that was not characterized by PURITY and TRUTH and
HONESTY, so that we could always DELIVER what we AGREED.'
It was our owji PURE DRUG law and our PROMISE has.
always been FULFILLED. ;
The best inducement we can offer our friends in our advertising,
past and present, is to TRY CASCARETS only ONCE1 We prom
ised and promise now, that these dainty, little candy tablets, if
faithfully tried, would prove to-be the most perfect Bowel Medicine(
ever placed before the American family, as dependable for their,
effects as nature herself. '
In our eleven years of PROMISE, we have never failed to ful
fill, and that's why we have gained the friendship of millions of the
American people, who have experienced the reliable quality of our
product.
If the ONE TIME that we can induce the reader to try Casca
rets proves to be a failure and disappointment, it means a BROKEN
PROMISE and NEVER a repetition of his patronage. The fact
that at the present time over ONE MILLION of boxes of Cascarets
are sold every month PROVES that we believe in "Purity of Prom

CONSTIPATION and all its complications. Nearly every serious illnesa is
caused by a derangement of the Stomach and Bowels. Cascarets will strengthen
the walls of the weakened intestines and make them act exactly as nature
Intended them to do NO VIOLENCE, but plain, soothing action.
" "" ' '
Another PROMISE we are willing to make Is that Cascarets wilt prove to
be a srreat PREVENTIVE of DISEASE. They are anti-septic, destroy dis
ease germs all through the FOOD-CHANNELS, and are what soap is for the
outer body a perfect cleansing means for the inside body.
One of our raottos has been: "Keep clean insidel" and Cascarets wM help
you to do it and avoid disease resulting from internal neglect.
If vou have never tried Cascarets before, go to your druggist TO-DAY
and buy a little 10c bos. It will convince you. BE SURE TO GET WHAT
