! The great interest IN tbs who,e uues-

through the afternoon by the many
questions that were put TO Commissioner
| Wilson which bore on all phases OF the
subject. Commissioner Wilson recon
mendcd reduction of 10 per cent of the
amount paid by the State Tor diseased

ed that the commissioner be gwen power

Another thing recommended ny the
States cattle commissioner was that

He was also opposed TO the present Law
which protects shippers of mich cows

the State should not pay all the expenses

IN reply TO one question. Commissioner
Wilson sai1 that proximity in 30 per cent

RAILWAY RELIEF
BOWLING AVERAGES

The standing of the teams in the Wash
ingtOn Railway Relief Association Bowl
ing League has undergone few changes
since the last figures We're published.
The most notable change was the drop
of the Northern quints from second to
fifth place. This team has struck rut
and does not seem able to regain a foot
ing. For about the first month and a
half of the season the team occupied
the top of the ladder, but lately it
has gradually been falling and is
practically out OF the running for cham
piOnship honOrs.
The Mechanical outfit is still displaying
great form and has a safe lead over the
other teams. Roadway is rolling its
usually good game and holds down second
place. with three games ahead OF the
Northeastern quint. which is in third
place.
Smelling of the Northern spillers con-
tnues to lead the individual rollers. having
the fine average of 114.1J Herbert and
Wenner follow in order named, the former
with an average of 1I2.20 and the latte"
rolling at 111.22. The General ONCE
quint is still hanging on. having won two
more games in the last couple of weeks,
and now they have won and lost 20.

LISTS OF PASSES
TO BE CUT DOWN

Ii has been predicted that the time in
not far distant when the major league
clubs will reduce their lists Of passes 10 a
minimum. The practice OF giving out
complimentary season books has grown to
be an evil. say some of the magnates.
which is intolerable. The demand for
these tickets in some OF the cities in the
big ci-c1its is SO great that the club
owners have thrown up their hands. A
certain club last year handed out 1000
free hooks to persons who made various
claims for recognition. In the list were
politicians theatrical managers, actors
and profess rooters. To turn down
any OF these applicants would have caused
an anvil chorus saws the club owner; So
ne simply took his medicine. The pass evil
has not been confined to the majors. for
all OF the minor league clubs have been
compelled 10 put up with IL. too,
That change in methods. however. will
occur soon seems to be indicated by the
fact that the Connecticut League has just
adopted q stringent rule TO the effect that
any person who attends championship
game in that league must have ticket
and every ticket shall be accounted for
to the visiting club at half the regular
compel the home club to pay fixed sum
Tor every deadhead who passes the gates.
In that way IL is believed that the free
list will be reduced to a minimum. Those
who are opposed to the evil say that no
other amusement enterprises tolerate such
q practice and that II the theaters issued
season books on a similar scale they
would do a losing business. The eX-
penses OF running a ball club are 80 great
that the owners declare that they neess
all the money that cer he taken in r.:
the gates to make their base ball invest
ments profitable.

FOREIGN GOLFERS

with no little interest and amusement the
