Arrangements to install a picture projection machine in the club house at the Polo grounds, where the members of the New York Oiants will be given instructions and tips as to possible improvements in their play, have been completed by Manager McOraw. He intends to point out to his men any defeots in their play, such as too wide turning of bases, slowness in gotting away from the plate, swinging too alowly at the ball and not taking proper advantage of a piteher's long windup to get a good start for tho next base. o Otto Knabcs' Baltimore FodeTal i league team is taking all the patron- AH age away from Jack Dunn's Orioles.

Thirty thousand turned out to see the Federals play on their opening day. A big surprise in baseball circles is the way Mordecai Brown's Ht. Louis Federals ore holding their place at tho top of the outlaw ladder. Baseball critics had generally regarded Balti more as the strongest club in the now. league, but they now admit that tno team that wins the pennant will have to reckon with tho "Buds." The club, too, is drawing liko a house af're. Sat urday the park was crowdod to ca pacity, while tho Browns anil unicago White Sox played to less than 3,500 spectators. o Despite the competition of the Fed erals, it now begins to look liko the Brooklyn Itationnls will nave an un usually profitable season. This is largely due to the popularity of Wil bert Robinson and the fact that his men are playing a good article of ball. Hobby has instilled a lot of pep and ginger into their work. Willamette University, Salem, Or., May 2. The second of old Willam ette's homecoming days wra taken up with manual labor on the campus, base ball games, and a tennis tournament. Nearly every student worked in the morning and enjoyed a big chicken dinner at noon. The tonnis toutnament between the different classes ws not finished and will be plated off the coming week. The Salem High School defeated Columbia University of Portland 2 to 1 in a pretty baseball game. Keene, tho Salem High pitcher, struck out 18 players. , Both teams played high-grade ball. The big game between the Univer sit of Oregon and Willamette was won by the visitors 5 to 0. The game was far better than the. score would indi cate, errors by Willamette giving the State University boys four runs in the fourth inning and-one in the eighth. Oregon did not earn a run. The crowd was the largest ever seen at college game here. Willamette supporters are oncouraiged over the showing of their team, as but three of the men ever played in a college' baseball game be fore. For Oregon, Tuerck, Bigbee, Fenton and Cornell played) strong ball and for Willamette, Doane,!; Homan, Peffer, Small and Lund excelled.

The tub raco between the academy classes was won by the fourth-year class, while the . tug-of-war between the freshmen and sophomore teams was a tie. The festivities closed with H big junior prom ia the; gymnasium, which was largely attended. , - RECORDS ARE SMASHED Editor Capital Journal: As a mer chant of Salem I want to protest against the use of some of the language used by a few local boosters. As a sample, the editor of the morn ing paper permitted the following scurrilous attack to be printed in the editorial column of his paper last. Thursday jnst becabso some farmers choose to think for themselves on the question of bonding the county for building hard surface roads. The Statesman says editorially: "If there is say farmer in Marion county who is a big enough fool to not allow the city people to help him build his permanent highways by vot ing for the $850,000 bond issue he should be given a dunce eup and put at the beaid or the loot class." Now, I want to apologize for quoting this crude language as tno capital Journal is read by many refined peo ple. But the Statesman, lor some reason, has an impelling propensity in this campaign to browbeat thoBe fann ers who hold a position opposite to in curring this bonded indebtedness. In its impatience, the morning paper has been calling these farmers "hay seeds", "mossbacks", "fools", "dunces", and other like harsh epithets which seem to be penned dur ing Boms journalistie brain storm. - Now, has that paper an extensive circulation among the fanners! If it has how does it expect to hold itt It should know that the basis principle of our government ia the right of every citizen to express his independent judgment on any issue by ballot. As a local business man I contend that the occasional, harsh language used against our farmers in the States man is an injustice to toe Dusiness interests of our eity. It is an element in producing an antagonistic spirit among our rural population towafrd Salem and will more and more divert the trade of the country people to neighboring towns and to the mail order houses. It requires no argument to establish that fact in the mind of those who understand the intelligence, self-sufficiency and independence of our rural population. Our commercial club haa been send ing letters out among the fanners try ing to find out why they do not do all of their trading ia Salom. I con fess many of the responses are dis concerting. We moat mend our ways and understand that some of our most capable and intelligent men are now residing on farms near oaiem. . We cannot hope to hold the friend ship and patronage of the country peo ple by assuming a supercilious air to ward them. . Our commercial club has just closed a campaign of swatting the fly. A campaign" of swatting the "big ikes" in our town who by word or act render themselves abnoxious to our farmer friends should now be started. " We may as well understand that we are dependent largely on our rural population for what- prosperity may come to us. A word to the wise is sufficient. BUSINESS. ITCHY SALT RHEUM 8ometimes Called Eezema Removed by Hood's Sarsaparilla. . - rheum is oue of the worst and unfortunately one of the most common of all diseases. How it reddens the skin, italics, oozes, dries and scales, and then does this all over again I Sometimes it covers the whole . body with inflamed, burning patches and causes intense suffering. Salt rheum comes from humors in the blood. Thia ia why local ap plications do so little good. It will continue to exist, annoy, pain and perhaps agonize, until these humors have been removed. Ask your druggist for Hood's' Sar-rtparilla. It goes to the source of the trouble. It cleanses the blood of the humors that cause salt rheum. It ha given perfect satis faction in thousands of cases.

' Cal.. May 3. A world 's record was broken and another world's mark was tied at the Paciiic Coast Conference track and field meet at the Oval yesterday. Eddie Beeson of the Ulympie ciuo cleared the bar at 6 feet 7 5-16 inches in the high jump and broke the former mark of 6 feet 7 inches, held by George Horine. formerly of Stanford. Beeson 's great jump was made in a special high jumping contest, put on by the conference managers to give Horine, who now also belongs to the Olympic club,-and Beeson a chance to better the existing mark. Both warmed up in good style at the lower heights and the bar was set for the rAcnrd. Beeson cleared it by the clos est possible margin, the bar wobbling considerably after he had landed in the sawdust, but it stayed on the pins. . One of the first to congratulate Bee son was Horine, who hail just seen his own record shoved into oblivion. Fred Kelly tied the world 's record of 15 seconds for the 120 yards high hur dles, held jointly by himself and For rest Smithson. The coast record for the two mile race was broken , twice.

This tobacco is DIXIE QUEEN. It is de signed especially to satisfy the tobacco -hungry man. It fills the bill. Firemen, policemen, out-of-doors men, two-fisted men in general, all say DIXIE QUEEN satisfies. Once they start using DIXIE QUEEN they cannot get the same satisfaction out of any other brand.
