place in the District Bowling League dur
Ing the last two weeks, the Garrsons hav-
ing climbed out of the cellar and showed the
Florists in. In this period the Orientals,
although they have dropped below the Fat
Men in team average, have made the best
showing in games won, making clean
sweeps OF the matches with the Market
House and the Garrisons. This ties them
with the Fats for second place
Saengerbund increased it's already large
lead over the Fat Men by winning five of
Its six games, while the Fats cleaned up
only four. The fight between the Bank
Clerks and Market House for the lead of
the second division still favors the pro-
vision purveyors, the former dropping five
OF its six games.

What is Being Done in the Real

weeks in the Real Estate Bowling League,

from it's nearest opponents, with the good
percentage Of $50 for the entire season,
and a gain of 81 points since the latest

any team in the league this season, and
that is to capture two full sets from their
opponents with percentage of 1,OOO. Inc

NEXT YEARS. RACES
FOR KAISER'S CUP
All the Details Have Been Set
tied but the Question
of Date.
Germans Want the Contests
Sailed in June, Americans
in August.

BOSTON, MASS. December S.-The de-
tails of the race between the Eastern Yacht
Club and the Kaiserlicher Yacht Club of
Germany, to be sailed next season, have
almost been completed, and it is under
stood that the only matter to be settled is
that of the date. The Germans want the
races for the Kaiser's cup to be sailed
in June lat the end Of the Kiel week, but In
order to do that the trial races on this side
would have to be sailed in March or early
in April. and it is too early in the year for
the sport. The Eastern Yacht Club wants
August as the the date and Henry How
ard, who Is arranging all the details, has
notified the kaiserlicher Yacht Club of the
views Of the Eastern men. In other de-
tails 1t Is understood that the conditions of
last season for the Roosevelt cup will pre-
vail. except that all the crews must be
amateurs.
Otto Protein, who sailed the Wansee in
the Roosevelt cup races, has written his
impressions of yachting here in the German
nautical paper. Wassersports. which are
translated this article. as follows:
Beginning his article with the statement
that German yachtSmen had been warned
against Uncle Sam. who had been pictured
to them as foxy old dollar chaser with
out inspiration or sympathy for ideal val
ues, Mr.. Protein says that they found out
as soon as they arrived here that they had
been entirely misled.
He enthusiastically describes the hearty
reception and cordial greetings that were
extended to him on his arrival at Boston,
and the dramatic farewell rendered him
by the yachtsmen at Marblehead, when
from every window he saw German flags,
handkerchiefs, hats, parasols waved at
him, and says that while he was at first
skeptical of the exuberant expressions Of
the Americans, he soon found that behind
1t all was an 'unselfsh friendship, an hon
est pleasure in greeting one and a warm
heartedness such as he had never found
in any other part of the world.
Such an ovation, he says, in the Old
loved princess This expression of good
fellowship was not because America was
victorious.
They did not exult because we were
defeated: for on the day of the regatta,
when Wansee, on which l was sailing,
came in first, the ear-splitting ovation that
greeted me from the steamboat whistles
and the yachtsmen was even greater than
that given their own yacht.
The races at Marblehead have proved
to us that our boats under certain condi-
tons equal and even superior to the
Americans, but in all kinds of weather the
American sails are the better Although
they have been used in Germany without
success it was because We did not know
how to handle them. This is not to be
regarded in the light of a reprooach on our
own sails 1t was after seeing our sails
used at Marblehead that our theory of fiat
sails proved to us that they are antique;
that it is also decidedly difficult for us
to cut sail which has the flow in the
right place. That accounts for our failure
when We gave our sails flow

Intellectual 0bstinacy in Conversation

We seem to perceive, especially among
women, growing disposition to regard In
tellectual obstinacy as a valuable adjunct
of conversation. and to exercise it accord
ingly. The method is simple. One merely
makes practice of emphaticaIly denying
the assertion or deduction of any other,
thereby enforcing immediate elucidStion, OF
whose necessity there has been no antici~
patton and for which preparation is nat.
uraIly lacking. 1t is a convenient and. II

burden of proof in such a manner as to
profit shrewdness at the expense of wisdom.
The resultant irritation. familiar to all who
have and express opinions OF their own, we
