thing else that he trained on, kept
him going long enough to prove
that his performance in England
was all it was cracked up to be.

you can beat him at his own game

have to wait three weeks to bowl,

ABE LANGTRY.

Now that the foot ball season
has been embalmed for another
year devotees of sport are turning
their attention to bowling. In
every part of the land the fall of
the pins makes sweet music for
the lovers of the game.
The big event in bowling during
the winter will be the annual con-
vention of the American Bowling
congress, known as the A. B. c..
from Quoddy Head to Cape Mendo-
.cino, which will be held in Du-
quesne garden, Pittsburg, Feb. 20

in to field. it's better than an even
bet that the runner will beat the
pitcher to the bag.
If the batter can get the ball
past the pitcher, there is hardly a
chance to get him.
The spectacle of a pitcher stand
ing flat footed while runner hur'
ries to first is often witnessed, but
this is really not the pitcher
fault, as in nine cases out of ten
he has been outguessed. Once the
twirler sees the batter is going to
bunt he naturally moves toward
third. and, started in this direction,
he has not one chance in a thou
sand to get the ball should it be
laid down toward first.
IT, as SO many are prone to
imagine, the pitcher is smoking
on the play, he would never get
started toward third, and could
handle the bunt easier than if he
was caught unawares, standing
still.
The bunt is hard for the box
artists to get away with, and this
probably accounts for the fact that
SO many fast men are successful in
reaching first on bunts toward the
initial sack.

pending bills for reinstatement of the
Brownsville soldiers. He said tho
Warner bill allowed the president to
re-enlist the men and the Foraker
bill made their REIMBURSEMENT obliga-

The Foraker bill, he declared, would
be ruinous to the discipline of the
army. He declared the president had
right to discharge the men, and con-
gress had no power to rescind the
action but could render such action
impossible in the future if foolish
enough.
IF you impair the proper authority
of the commanding officer" he said,
