BASEBALL PLAYERS TO LEARN TRENCH DIGGING, ETC. Ban. Jolhnson, President of the American Baseball League, has anâ€" nounced that baseball players who desire to enlist in the event of the United States going to war will not only be promptly released from their league contracts, but the League will also look after their dependents. Furâ€" ther, President Johnson, and Mossrs. Weeghman â€" and . Comiskey of â€" the and **White Sox,""‘ approve the, "preparedness . plan"‘ of Capt. Houston, part owner of the **Yanâ€" kees."" Capt. Houston, who saw serâ€" viece in the Spanishâ€"American W ar, and who really won his title, plans for an hour or more each day to be deâ€" voted to military training in the camps. â€" Trench digging and other military manoeuvres, under the direecâ€" tion of an army officer, would be used for the men accordâ€" ing to Capt. Houston‘s scheme. This would not only help to put the athâ€" letes in firstâ€"class physical condition for ballâ€"playing, but it would also, perhaps, furnish a body of partly trained moen, many of whomâ€" might seorve in ease of war. President Johnson, however, says that the League would not suspend even in ease of war, referring in this connection to the fact that the ‘Naâ€" tional Leavue continued its sehedule during the Spanishâ€"American War.

Owing to poor water pressure on aceount of the high eleâ€" vation in that part of the town the firemen were greatly handicapped in fighting the fire. The loss is partly covered by iasurance. The Haileyburian in a recent issue explains the matter this way:â€"‘‘The T."‘ N.O; trains have now got the babit of coming in late and it‘s now only a question of ‘‘how late?‘ ‘The most plausible explanation of its tarâ€" diness is that the engines are given too much to pull.
