OF Overfeld at center is causing the
coaches good deal of anxiety, as there
seems to be no one in his class to take
this position. 1t is more than probable
that Coach Woodruff will employ more
up to date methods than he taught q
year ago. Several years ago Woodruff

The first prize in violin music was
awarded to Il sister of Martinus Sieve

Several of the men who have been
conspicuous as managers and promot
crS of boxing in Gotham have not the
best of regulations among sporting
men for honesty in dealings with not
only the public, but the fighters under
their control Tales of double dealing
and other underhand business have
been numerous. In consequence the
name of any manager who is noted for
his honesty and straightforward ac-
lions stands out all the more promi-
ncntly. James c. Kennedy, the well
known manager of the Twentieth Cen
fury A. c., whose arena is Madison

Ever since Ernest Roeber was de-

There arc o good many Indications
that bowling will be much more popu-
lar during the coming winter than for
several seasons past, especially in the
eastern states. where it has suffered
the greatest slump. In the middle west,
especially in the larger cities the game
has lost hardly any ground. and this
winter will probably gain many adher-
ents
The bowling tournament which was
held at Union HILL n. j., last July did
a good deal to advertise the game. al
though ii was n huge failure in other
respects. Bowlers all over the country
took Il great deal of interest in the af-
-
fair when the plans of the weeks fes-
tivities were first preached. Later on,
however. the mana cement made the
mistake of adding side show schemes,
such as a shooting tourney. These
were clearly put on with the object of
making money. The bowlers were nat
urally disguised, and in many cases
sidetrackcd the affair altogether.
The great objection to bowling on
the part Of a great many people has
heretofore been that in most places
the alleys are located in Easements and
other cellarlike places The air Is often
impure, especially If smoking is in

In the death of John Sherman. the
country has lost one Of it's greatest
men. For nearly 30 years he. has been
a prominent feature in the history OF
our country. His service in the I.egis-
lature of his own state of Ohio. prior
to the outbreak Of the war. the bart no
took in the early days of our great
Civil War as one of the leading repre-
sentatives in the House Of Represen-
tatives at Washington, the able and
patriotic services he rendered his coun-
try in the Senate of the United States,
his magnificent and unparelled admin
tStration of the financial affairs of his
great country as secretary Of the treas
uly. endeared him to every American
citizen.
He was pre-eminently not only 4
statesman, but patriot. Between
John Sherman and his ilustrious
brother. the great war general, VIM. r.
Sherman, there existed a tie of more
than brotherly love and to these two
illustrious brothers the country owes
a debt which it will ever seek TO repay
by enshrining them in the hearts or
every true patriot and lover of his
country.
John sherman belonged pre-emi-
nently to the whole nation and he Will
be mourned by all the people. His
fame was won in the halls Of Congress
and in the administration Of the treas
ury department. Though he occupied
the high position Of state, ii was after
his powers had commenced to fail and
in the administration Of that Office h.
did not add to the fame he had al
ready achieved.
