employ that moment of time to do a little
captaining on his own account. He may
tell his neighbor what he would have done
and what he would do if only he were
running the team. Thus the gaps in play
are source of satisfaction to the specta-
tors. The spectators know that these
pauses are being used to provide for taking
the next step in the game with pre-knowl-
edge, and because the onlookers thus have
chance to guess what play will be used
next, and, after it has been taken, to
praise or blame the captains headwork.
In no other game is this continually true.
Hence, we believe that this opportunity
for mental activity is large factor in
making football the most popular of ath-
letic sports

UP TO MAJOR DELMAR
Great Young Trotter May Go for Record
Next Season.

While no stride forward towards the
two-minute mark has been made by a
trotter this year. it would be an unobserv-
ing man, indeed who does not see, in the
increased brush of speed shown by young
and only partly educated trotters, that
the trend is towards lower rate OF speed
for mile.
Major Delmar's half in 1:01. after trot-
ting a mile in 2051s, and a mile and an
eighth at the rate of 2:06A, is one of the
most remarkable performances of the year
by trotter. 1t seems certain that he
can trot half in a minute, If driven under
the same conditions that surround most
attempts at cord-breaking, and once we
concede that trotter can go half in a
minute, it becomes evident that eventually
one will be bred that will have the capac-
ity of carrying that rate Of speed for q
mile.
On Major Delmar's form, shown at
Memphis, it does not seem unreasonable
to believe that he will be seen making q
serious attempt to beat the worlds record
next season.

careIessness About Fouls.

One reason why so many bowlers make
first class scores in practice, and are not
able to do anything In match game, ac-
cording to some experts, is on account Of
carelessness in regard to the foul rule in
their practic games. Many men get a
foot just an inch or two over the line in
friendly games, but no attention is paid
to the fact by their opponents. When they
come to match game they are called
down once or twice, and as a result they
go to the other extreme and are afraid to
let themselves out for fear Of fouling
again. More attention to this point in
practice would materially improve the
bowling in match games. 1fF

TWO Perfect Scores.

Ben Stoll Of the Rival team in the
American, league, Chicago, having accom-
plished the feat of rolling perfect game
last week, Ernest Forsberg, a 19-year- old
boy of Rockford, ILL.,, bobs up with the as
sertion that he made the same score last
March. Both men made their records in
hve-men amtches. Fosberg averaged 226
for. the series in which he made his score,
rolling scores Of III and 208 after making
the 300 mark. The discrepancy between
these three scores only illustrates further
the uncertainty Of the game. In fact
there is hardly game in which players
will show a wider variance between two
days form. or between the form Of two
successive games. n s S4ss Ri e;

AMONGTHE BOWLERS
Rapid Development of the Sport in
Minneapolis of Scores
Is Rising.
The Science Lies in Making Spares
Why Many Bowlers Fail in
Match Games.

Work upon the new building of the Co.
operative Bowling Association Is being
rapidly pushed, and in a few months the
palatial home Of lovers Of the sport will
be completed. The public hitherto has not
appreciated the extent of this enterprise.
There is hardly a building in the United
States which boasts Of ten completely
equipped bowling alleys under one roof,
and when the other points Of the structure
which has been begun by the Cooperative
association are taken into account the
full magnitude Of the undertaking can be
appreciated.
Minneapolis is fast coming to the front
as bowling center. Indeed, outside OF
Chicago hardly a city in the west can
claim as high a standard Of excellence in
the sport as Minneapolis. While st. Paul
and Grand Forks claim the northwestern
record, it is doubtful if any city can pro-
duce more good bowlers than the flour
city. 1t is the general average which
tells, after all, and in this Minneapolis
excels.
Average Of Scores Higher.
AS an example of the development Of
the sport at the beginning of last season,
g. score Of 200 was considered a remark
able achievement. Hardly ten days ago
the first score Of 200 for the season was
made, but since then the figures have
been exceeded several times. The best
performance so far this fall was that Of
the Tuxedos Thursday evening, when they
| rolled 1888, an average Of 944 1-3 for the
three games. The score was 881, 961, 991.
While this score Is a record, it does not
greatly exceed some Of the best made last
season. The Pfsters scored 1871, the X.
C.s $500 and the Turner's 2,813, while the
Tasmos made $500. From the good rec
ords made at the beginning Of this sea-
son, however, there is little doubt that the
record will be broken again before the
end Of the league season. .
Science In Making Spares.
'The real science of bowling" said
Gus Hanson recently. 'lies in making
spares. Strikes are largely a matter Of
| luck and nerve. Once you find the alley,
it is simply question Of smashing away,
and hitting No. fairly. But If you do not
make strike, you have any number Of
problems presented to you. and there are
opportunities for all sorts Of fancy shots
and figuring. If you miss a spare 1t
practically costs you ten points right
there; More novel situations come up on
that second stroke than in any other part
of the game" ~ NJ "-.ES ..-'$' tle..s.

INTERESTING FACTS

f or Nearly Every Man. Woman and Child
\ short time ago we published an
article recommending to our readers
the new discovery for the cure of dys-
pepsia. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
and the claims then made regarding
the wonderful curative properties of
the remedy have been abundantly
sustained by the facts. People who
were cautious about trying new rem
edies advertised in the newspapers
and were finally induced to give Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets trial were
surprised and delighted at the re-
suits. In many cases n single pack
age costing but so cents at any drug
store made n complete cure and in
every instance the most beneficial re-
suits were reported. From a hundred
or more received we have space to
publish only few of the latest, but
assure our readers we receive so
many commendatory letters that we
shall publish each week a fresh list
of genuine, unsolicited testimonials
and never publish the same one twice.
From James Yemmeisler, Lacrosse,
Wis: 'Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets

thing 1 ever tried, and l was so pleas
ed at results that gave away several
boxes to my friends, who have also
had the same benefits

From Mrs. NJ. X. West. Preston,
Mimi: 81 have received surprisingly
good effects from using Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets. 1 gave one-half of my
last box to friend, who also suffer
ed from Indigestion, and she had the
same good results
From Mrs. Agnes *. Ralston, Cadil-
lac, Mich: Il nave been taking Stu

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a
certain cure for all forms of indiges-
ton. They are not claimed to be a
cure-aiI, but are prepared for stom-
ach troubles only, and physicians and
druggists everywhere recommend
them to all persons suffering from
nervous dyspepsia, sour or acid stom-
ach, heartburn, bloating or wind on
stomach and similar disorders.

Plenty of Classics

"There is not n protestant denomi-
nation of this age which has not a
large fund of classical music to draw
from. The Methodists have the pro-
auctions of Wesley: the Presbyter-
ians, Watts; the Lutherans, Luther
and the immortal Handel. l protest
against the use of this cheap class of
music for divine worship. Those clas-
sic hymns We're written for inspira-
ton, but the cheap hymns of today
are written for money. When you
hire men and women to sit down and
compose music and write poetry, the
result can be easily guessed, but when
it is written through inspiration the
result is entirely different.
With the class of music which the
Lutherans have. it is a shame for
them to assemble in divine worship
and sing %, How l Love Jesus Hold
the Fort, for L am Coming Christ
Receiveth Sinful Men, Nearer, My
God, to Thee etc. The latter, howev-
er, has some elements of classical mu-
sic. The church music needs to be
reverential and devotional. and not
operate, as it should make people
feel that they had been in the pres
ence of God. The song should express
more than personal feelings"

THE HAIR BRUSH
Breeds Dandruff. which Causes Failing
Hair and Finally Badness

Hair and Finally Badness
Prof. Unna, Hamburg, Germany,
European authority on skin diseases,
says that dandruff is as contagious as
any other malevolent disease, and
that one common source of the spread
of dandruff is the use of the same
hair brush by different persons. The
way to avoid catching dandruff or
any other disease from another's
brush, is to insist on the use of New
bros Herpicide. 1t not only kills the
dandruff germ, but it is also an anti
septic that will prevent the catching
of any disease whatever through con-
tagion of another's brush. For sale
