CITY BOWLING
LEAGUE FORMED
Eight Teams Have Been Organized Which
Will Take Mechanics Of Baseball
Clubs.
PERSONNEL OF CONTESTANTS

Bowling has taken on a big boom
in this city within the last few weeks
and has eliminated in the reorganiz-
ing of the City Bowling League which
will start on an eight team basis and
adopt as team names the nicknames of
the teams in the National Baseball
League. The schedule for two nights
next week is filled out. The league
has wisely adopted the plan of having
as few postponed games as possible.
When team is unable to play, that
team must give notice to it's opponents
before p. m. on the day of the game
scheduled. Last season the situation
became almost farcical because Of
many postponements by the teams at
the bottom Of the list, which rather
than lose forfeited their games to the
leaders.
The teams composing the league and
their names are as follows:
Giants-BenSon, Whalen and Bar
tram.
Pirates-Hggins, Mack and Ayre-
ault.
Reds-Brewer, Diver and Grant.
Doves-Tfernan, Sma1lwood and Nor
Dodgers-Cooper, Tompkins and M.
r.. Banks.
Quakers-C. Musante, Molinelli and
,Dubee.
2. ACCOMPLISHMENTS, EIllOII ana Giles.
Cubs-Dudley, Robson and Lock-
wood.
The schedule for next week, which
Is as much as has been arranged, is
as follows:
Monday, Oct. Is, o'clock-Giants
Doves.
Wednesday, Dot. 81, o'clock-Dodg-
ers VS.. Quakers; $50 O'Clock, Cardinals
VS.. Cubs.
The list of prizes is so arranged that
all but one of the teams may win one,
the prizes being as follows: LIST, $35;
2nd, $22; Bird, SIS; 4th, Sill; 9Th, So; 9Th,
81; 7th, So.

This Queer Beast Is the Owner Of Four
Huge Livers.

This Queer Beast Is the Owner Of Four
Huge Livers.
The head Of the sea lion at close
quarters is a blunt, rough, savage
Prov. 1t is we'll armed for battle, the
mouth being an eight inch half circle
studded with two rows of great sharp
teeth. The body is heavily coated with
seal brown hair, sun bleached to light
yellow on the back and sides. The
immensely long hind f1ippers have big
strong claws imbedded in the fat up
per surface several inches from the
ends of the f1ipper. The fore fippers
have the openings for these nails or
claws, but in the particular female I
dissected they were lacking.
The transparent wiry feelers about
the jaw are much esteemed by the
Chinese as toothpicks. About two doz-
en- of these sensitive guards project
from the upper lip. The ears are very
small, not as large as common cats,
and much depressed. The eyes are a
deep, soft brown, but they can sparkle
like fame in anger. When the dissect-
ing knife laid the skin back we en-
countered heavy layer of fat-rich.

4 Peculiar Bird That Fishes With lie
Feathers.

a Peculiar Bird That Fishes With Tee
Feathers.
Habits Of the cormorant and Of the
fish hawk are generally known. Their
methods Of taking fish are very much
like those Of birds Of prey. But the
cassowary fishes according to a meth
cd of fits own. A well known naturalist
witnessed its operations on river in
the island of New Britain.
He saw q cassowary come down to
the waters edge and stand for some
minutes apparently watching the wa
ter carefully. 1t then stepped into the
river where it was about three feet
deep and, partially sQuatting down,
spread its wings out, submerging
them, the feathers being spread and
ruf1ed
The bird remained motion1ess and
kept it's eyes closed as If in sleep. 1t
remained in this position for quarter
of an hour, when, suddenly closing its
wings and Strengthening its feathers, it
stepped out on the bank. Here It shook
itself several times, whereupon guam
tity of small fishes fell out of its wings
and from amid its feathers. These the
bird Immediately picked up and swal-
lowed.
The fishes had evidently mistaken
the feathers for a kind of weed that
grows in the water along the banks Of
the rivers in this island and which
much resembles the feathers of the
cassowary. The smaller fishes hide In
these weeds to avoid the larger ones
that prey on them.-Exchange.

YALE'S DEFENSE
WORRIES COACHES
Especial from United Press,

New Haven. Oct. 21.--Just one thing
now worries the Yale football coaches
ana that is the Yale defense. The
teams attack has been built up since
the present season opened until little
more is to be desired. From the show
ing made against the scrubs yesterday
afternoon, however. it is plainly evil
dent to-day that the defense is the
vulnerable spot. The scrubs in the
practice yesterday carried the ball
across the line three times. the var
sity scoring four times.
There is considerable wonderment to-
day too at. Captain. Coy's fumbles in
Yesterdays practice. It is even limited
that the recent operation he went
through will prevent him from doing
the star work in the two big games at
the season end that will be expected
of him. In an almost unaccountable
manner Coy's work Yesterday from the
very start was futile and he failed
nearly every time he attmepted to
score He managed to skyrocket
forward pass for a thirty yard gain
but he made two slips which gave the
scrubs touchdown in each case.
An easy victory over Colgate on Yale
Field next Saturday is looked for by
the Yale contingent.

CONCERNING
SELECTMEN OF REDDING
the Editor of the Farmer,


The Redding correspondent, in COM
ment1ng upon town affairs in last
weeks issue, seems to have taken no
pains to inform himself in regard to
the facts, but evidently wrote what
He says 'tthat the Se1ectmen have
not kept ledger account for the
last four years. a statement that is
entirely false, as any one by Iittel
investigation could satisfy himself
that they have kept strict account
of all orders paid. also receipts for
each month noted upon the ledger in
proper form. He further tells how
near the town came to losing 800,
'fbut for the honesty of Miss Abbfe
Sanford" when the treasurer tried to
pay her for a note that had already
been satisfied.
The facts in this case are as fol-
lows:
Ten years ago the town issued bonds
to the amount OF $34,s00, at three and
a quarter per cent interest, payable
in ten, twenty, and thirty years. The
first series were due October LIST. There
had been paid previous to this date,
some $4,000 of this series, leaving 5000
more to be met. The holder of the
bonds consented to take notes bearing
interest at four per cent. By mistake
a 800 bond taken by Miss Sanford,
had been noted in the ten year list
when given to the treasurer at the
had been made for her for 500, but
as she presented only 5000 worth of
bonds, the error was discovered by
the treasurer. We think it in the in
terest Of fairness. that some explain
alton be made to refute the insinua-
lions made against the town officers
i'll the article referred to.

Especial from the United Press)
Nairobi, British East Africa, Oct. q.
Colonel Roosevelt returned to Mai
robi today to begin preparations for
his trip to the Uganda country. Ker-
NIT Roosevelt has sent word from Ma
kuru that he will rejoin his father
either tonight or tomorrow. Kermit
is heading hunting expedition Of
his own in Ok1ra and Is having good

president Roosevelt expressed great
pleasure last evening when he was
visited by Sir Percy Girouda,' the new
governor Of British Africa. MIR. Gil
rouda but recently arrived in British
East Africa and was on his, way to
Nairobi when the British correspondent
informed him Of the presence of Col
onel Roosevelt at Naivasha. The gov
ernor halted his train and went inn
mediately to MIR. Rooseve1t's head
quarters The two conversed almost
an hour. Mr.. Roosevelt apparently
knew much more about East African
conditions than the New Governor and
he proceeded to dilate to the official
upon the wonderful resources of the
country and the immense possibilities
for good in the wise administration
of the country. While Sir Percy has
spent most Of his life in Canada
where he was born he had never be-
