COUNTESS Won WALDERsEE.
Something about the Remarkable
American Woman Who Is the
Aunt of German Empress.

The Womaes Home Companion con-
tains an article BY Mabel Percy Has
kel of how the daughter of New
York grocer, by her good sense and
tact, has risen to almost a royal posi-,
tlon in the German empire:
There are many American women
who have become noblewomen, but
there Is only one who has ever became
aunt TO an mpress-Countess Won
Naldersee; and she not only holds
that exalted position, but is also dis
singuished as being the only American
woman who ever became pri1acess In
her own right aside from any title ac-
CURED by marriage. The countess is
really Princess de Noer, this title hav-
ing been conferred upon her by the
emperor of Austria many years ago.
Few people in this country know
the romantic and remarkable life
story of this American princess, who
has never returned to her native land
since she left it As years ago, then a
girl in the glory of her beauty and
first youth. She has been so closely
associated with the exclusive life of
the high nobility of Berlin that Amer.
cans, travelling or at home. could not
know of the American woman who IL
acknowledged to be almost power
behind the German throne
This remarkable woman, although
the daughter of New York grocer,
married successfully royal person
age and q scion of one of the most ex-
elusive families nf the proud German
nobility. She frankly used her infiu-
ence to bring about the marriage of
the present German emperor and her
niece, and has proven herself to be a
most remarkable matchmaker. Her
husband holds one of the highest posi-
tons at court because of her influence,
and he was sent to China AT her request.
Thus she is really one of the most bril-
liant and interesting women of the
century. but the fact that she lives in
Germany makes il impossible for the
speaking world to have a true
knowledge of her power; for. al
though woman's influence NAV be
very great and far-reaching in Ger

BOWLING LEAGUE.

Jolly Fat Men Defeat the Y. M. G. A.
The Jolly Fat Men made a splendid rec
ord against the Y. M. c. A. team last night
in the bowling championship, winning two
out of three games The latter team is
exceptionally strong, leading the race for
chief honors, and heretofore has swept al
most everything off the boards, the CAROLS
being about the only five who have been
able to make respectable showing against
them. Last night the jolly Fat Men were
in prime condition and outplayed the asso-
citation lads, this being especially notice.
able when it came down to the last game
with honors almost even.
The first game was taken by the Fat Men
with rush, the association boys being
eighty-seven pins to the bad when the final
ball Of the game was rolled. Bruegger Of
the Fat Men did the best bowling in this
game. In the second the Y. M. C. A.
pulled themselves together and after close
and exciting contest won out with fifty-nine
pins to spare. Eiker was the top-liner in
this game, his score of 213 being the best
made. AL the fun and excitement came
in the third and last game. The score was
very close throughout. but when Miller of the
association failed to keep up with his COM
panions in the last frame and the Fat Men
nosed ahead, there was great cheering and
handclapping. Miller Of the Fat Men made

the players, and the working men OF the
game expect to have this abolished. They
argue that when a club has no further use
for their services they should be released
minor league team. The players are also
confident that the sales system, without the
consent Of the player, will be abolished.
Still. comparatively few players have ever
been sold against their wishes, and, as
general thing, they are financially ben
made to shorten the playing length Of the
game by making 1t compulsory upon the
players to hasten between the innings and
stop many Of the prelminaries which In
the past have heightened the game out of
all reason. The players are also interested
in the scheme to have suspension made for
some definite period.
1t is not believed at this time that the
club owners will attempt to reduce the sal
ary limit. The umpire question, always a
troublesome one. will be gone over care
fully. Several of the club owners agree
with the critics and the general public that
the double umpire system should be rein
troduced this year Those who oppose the
tWo-umpire system say that 1t is practi-
cally impossible to get enough good UNI
pires to go around. The players. in addi-
tion, believe that some rule should be made
by which owners would be prevented from
sending players "spite contracts" Con-
tracts for, say, $1,000, have been sent to
players whose services were not really de-
sired by club. the club owner realizing
that the man would refuse to sign 1t.
At the conclusion of the meeting of the
club owners last night the announcement
was made officially that a committee Of
three would meet President thinner at 3
pm today to listen to a statement Of the
players grievances. This committee will
be composed of James Hart of the Chicago
club, John T. Brush of the Cincinnati club
and A. H. Soden Of the Boston club.
