boxes; the boxes were varied. Pill

served the armies of the civil and

dwelt largely on the jury box, that
men of intelligence and integrity

BOWLERS TO MEET
THURSDAY night
Members Of keokuk Bowling Associa-
ton viii Gather at Commercial
Club Room to Reoreanize
League.
CHANGES LOOKED FOR
Handicap System Will Again Prevail
According to Bowlers, but Per-
centage Will Have Differ
ent Bases.
CHANGES LOOKED FOR

President Leroy Wolf has called a
meeting of the Keokuk Bowling As
sociation for Thursday night, at the
Commercial club room. Today the sec
rotary is sending out cards notifying
club owners of last season; also in
viting prospective club owners among
the retail merchants who may enter
teams during the coming season.
The league will undergo certain
changes believed to be for the better
ment, If dope on the advance sheet
is carried out. According to those
familiar with the bowling situation
the handicap system will prevail, for
1t was found to be a success last
wear. But 1t will likely be figured
somewhat differently they argue
Instead Of being based on the average
of bowlers taking part in each eve
ning's play the handicaps will be
based on the team average. This can
be figured at the beginning of each
week so that it can be posted before
tie games are played.
The most radical change looked for
ia in the percentages. There is a
strong leaning to individual game play,
which is believed to be the better
the two methods. The difference is
this: Instead of giving credit for the
total number of pins rolled in match,
which constitutes a series of three
games. credit will be given for each
game won.
Often is happens that the losing
club wins two out of three games
of match, but loses the third by a
margin sufficient to lose the match
and any credit for good work. This
would work to the disadvantage of
the stronger clubs, but the past has
shown that the weaker teams need

bolstering up and anything that can
be done along this line will work for
the betterment of the league. This
is the argument some of the leading
bowlers are making right now Nat
urally there are others who favor do
ing away with the handicap system
The president has had numerous in
ing, and many others seem enthusiast
tic to have it start as soon as possible.
1t is thought that the league can be
organized and the schedule arranged
for an opening the middle of October

one afternoon TO sit on a hillside and

the river below her. when she found
that she had no thmbIe in her pocket.
so could not work. as she had intend.

Turning out of her way TO Mrs. Sym
ond's shop. she bought the smallest
thimble there. which was, however.
many sizes too big for her. There
was an old Scotch dame at the coun-
ter impatiently waiting to make her
own purchases. Not recognizing the
queen. she broke into the conversation
with "Hoots, but it's rare fuss an
faddle you're maxim Blow intae it
wee an it'll stick" That phrase, the
latter part Of the sentence, amused her
majesty immensely and became quite
a proverb in the royal family.

Yeomen were formerly considered to
be by their title on a level with es-

bow which was made Of yew; hence
the word. After the conquest the
name of yeOman. in reference 10 the
original office in war. was changed 10
that of archer The term. however.
was continued with additions-the yeo-

considerable grants were bestowed on
some of them. In the legal view a
yeoman is defined TO be one that mas

FOOTBALL TANGLEs.
Queer Situations That Have Developed
on the Gridiron.

In the fall Of 1899 Young. the Cor
nell quarterback. received II bad bump
on the head during the first half Of
one of the early games and was so
dazed that he gave the signal for the
same play eight times In succession.
The rival eleven. unable TO compre-
bend such generalship. or, rather, lack
Of 1t. became just as bewildered as
the injured quarterback and in the ef-
fort to understand the unintelligible let
the Cornell backs through for a quick
touchdown.
The calling out Of numbers while the
opposing quarterback is trying to give
his team the signal for the next play
has resulted In numerous tangles. In
one Of the Army and Navy contests
the quarterback of the latter eleven be-
came SO confused In one instance when
the Army players were shouting out
various numbers while he was trying
to direct the next play that he actual
ly gave his men one of the series of
numbers the Army men were suggest
ing. The incomprehensible signal and
the subsequent mixup may be better
imagined than explained.
On the Yale squad in 1906 there was
man who was not only good play
er, but an excellent comedian. 1t was
told of him that more than once he
put this gift to good account in a game.
An amusing remark here. bit Of
story there. then a touch Of burlesque.
and his rival in the line would forget
for the moment that football is too Sc
rious a matter for laughter. 1t is I'M
necessary to add that the comedian
was never so interested in his own
dramatic efforts as to fail to take ad-
vantage of their effect on the other
man.-Outing.
