SQUIBS OF SPORT

1t has been practically decided to
build club house for the use of the
Rockford ball players. The system of
putting on suits at the hotel
and paradiDg out to the ball ground
is being discarded by all the clubs
and Rockford is falling in line with
the rest. The best of last years
team, probably half dozen, will be
retained. but enough new men will be
taken on so the club will start with
Is men, and there should be no diff
Guilty in securing a good nine from
the lot. Arrangements have already
been made to take the team to BelOit
for a week to practice with the col
lege team and this should set the men
in fine condition for the opening
games in Rockford.

numerous other gifts useful to n
debutante, for all social life at the
White House centers around this first
young lady of the family, and others
beside Ethel take an interest in her
affairs. Even if there is a Christmas
tree in the White House the habit of
stocking hanging is too strong to be
omitted this year, and from the gen.
erous sock of the president to the
tiny one of Quentin each will hide
some mystery for the family.
Probably as much attention is be-
ing paid by the Roosevelt children to
the gifts for the numerous servants,
ushers and attendants at the White
House as TO any other branch of the
family. All will have some souvenir
of the Roosevelt household TO treas
ure in future years. and which will
some day find its way into some his
torical collection.
The Christmas dinner at the White
House will be a great affair, as all of
the Christmas dishes known to his
tory will have honored places, from
the huge turkey to the old-fashioned
pies. buildings and homemade sweets.
Few, if any, guests will be entertain
ed, except Mrs. Roosevelt's sister.
Miss Carew, who is returning from
Italy to. spend the holiday in the
White House, and Commodore and
Mrs. Cowles. Theodore Roosevelt will
arrive in a few days and may bring
with him some less lucky fellow than
himself to share his Christmas JOY.
but as the quarters of the president
and his large family ere not much
greater than New H"rk fiat this
pleasure NAV be denied the school
boy. AS it has been for years Presi-
dent Roosevelt's habit to do the hon
ors of Christmas time at the public
school of Oyster Bay, il is not unlike
ly that he will do so this year.
If the outside world wonders what
the presidents household is like.
nothing better could illustrate If
than each chick and child is ever ON
the alert to take Sore step for their
mother or father, and if a paper is
wanted from the executive part of
the house, instead of ringing n bell,
some child is called-usually Ethel,
who is a living inspiration of accom-
modation-and away they go to the
task for which a servant was former
ly called. Ethel carries the mail to
and fro from the private rooms to
the Office without. Ethel hunts the pa
per, and Ethel closes the door. She
is a well-built, sturdy. wholesome, in
telligent, old-fashioned girl, and the
beauty of the presidents family. Best
of all, she has implicit faith in Santa
Claus furnishing her toilet table to
turn. N5NF
