TWINkLES
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

A SouIfuinesS.
My soul grew sad one gloomy day,
And fretted through the night.
It clothed itself in shadows gray,
And Stunned the golden light.
1t trod the great eternal strand.
Where times vast pillows beat:
And saw life's aspirations grand
In wreckage at its feet.
My soul Jared forth on fragile bark;
Where mists their pailor fling,
And paused a little while to mark
The songs that sirens sing.
1t struggled 'gainst the waves and beat
Against the rocks SO gray,
And longed for nothingness complete,
Yet was compelled to stay.
My doctor then l went to see.
And told what l endured.
A liver pill he handed me
And, 10, my soul was cured!

Vacations.
From the Boston Transcript.
Some persons take vacations at any
time and others at almost all times.
but the period recognised az the va
cation season proper is now half
spent. The unrest OF which it is at
least the partial satisfaction begins to
be felt as soon as the woods and fields
take on fresh verdure, and nature has
been wearing that aspect for at least
three months. but from early July
to- middle September society of all
kinds is on the wing. The impulse is
growing. The vacation has become an
established institution. and the man
who disclaims desire to take one,
especially il he occupies a position Of
fiduciary trust. is regarded with sus-
picion. For the sake of their reputa-
tons bank employees and all who han
die other peoples money should va
cate long enough to enable the direc-
tors to see how their books stand.
Considered on one side vacations are
a relaxation, a means of physical and
mental rehabilitation; on another
they are an industry. Every year
more hotels are building. more
boarding houses are opened, more
camps are established. and railroads
and steamships add to their equip.

BY TIP WRIGHT

Any time you want to get up a
nice warm argument, tell veter-
an ball player that some hero of
the past was the greatest all
around player the game ever saw.
Say, in about a minute you will
be bombarded with reasons why
your man was a dub, compared to
the fellow the old timer has in
mind. Unless, of course, you hap
pen to name the player he believes
entitled to the honor.
Ball players today do not get a
chance to work up regulations as
all around players, because they
are not called upon to perform as
were the men who helped make the
game. Teams carry enough men
to fill vacanies with utility men.
Still, strange to say, it is the
utility man who is given credit
nowadays. Think what some of
the old timers had to do compared
to the easy tasks of the utility
player now.
Many. of the old guard look
upon Texas Jack" McAllster, who
came out of Texas with Dale Gear
and the rest of that famous crew
In the COS, as the best all around
performer the game ever saw.
McAllister was wonder. One
day he would be back of the bat,
and the next on the hill, bending
as fancy an assortment was was
ever handed up to a batter. May
be on the third day he would be
grabbing Founders around second
or pulling down long flies in the
outfield. He played every posi-
ton with equal ability. And he
could clout the ball for further
orders.
McAllister is doing backstop-
ping for the Buffalo team in the
Eastern league. If it was not for
his financial interests in Buffalo
he would be member of the New
York American league team this
year, for George Stallings, who
went from Buffalo to manage the
Highlanders, declares Texas
Jack" the most valuable man to a
team he ever met up with.
Buck Ewing, the old New York
catcher, was, in his day, a wonder
as an all around player. Without
a peer as a backstop, he could
pitch, play any of the bases or
field. And how he could hit 'em
on the seam!

fore his hair took on the silvery

NO PORTLAND CLUB
FOR ME---b0B BROWN
Vancouver and Spokane Men Laugh Offer of Coasters
to Permit Northwestern League Club in Portland.

7 will never consent to North
western club in Portland unless the
town is made exclusive Northwest
ern league territory or a man en-
tirely independent of the Coast
league is at the head Of it," de-
clared Bob Brown, now owner Of
the Vancouver club, this morning
upon receipt of the news that the
Coasters have offered to permit a
Northwestern league club in Port
land for 1910 if Aberdeen is rein
stated.
1--WE are not denied admittance
to Portland in 1910" Brown con-
tinued; I'VE simply dropped Port
land at Seattle meeting, deciding
that we wished to have nothing to
do with club in that town owned
by people whose interests are with
the Coast league. For us to ac-
cept a proposition to finance
Portland club for this season in eX-
change for the reinstatement OF
Aberdeen would be extremely fool
ish.
"Rowland's scheme is laughable.
! wonder if he expects to organize
little two-club league Of his own
down Portland way, or if he really
thinks that the. Northwesterners
will permit the Coasters to put
wedge into their league in the
shape of two clubs"
Il am certainly not in favor of
taking Portland into the Northwest
ern league again. stated Secretary
Jim Brown of the Indians this
morning, land am sure that Presi-
dent Cohn feels the same way. We
lave an independent circuit now,
one not tangled up with the Coast

The proffer of Portland to the

The Mercedes profess to be

They knew that their offer would
not be accepted. Now the Judge
can say, when he comes up for re-
election to congress, Didn't |
offer to put a club in the North

fuse to accept ito" Then the Aber-
deem people will be solid with the
Judge because he assisted them
when the Northwesterners dropped
that town from the circuit. The
Judge will be much aggrieved be-

'TEN EYCK," THAT MEANS ROWING:
GREAT OARSMEN BORN, NOT MADE

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Jan. 25.-
That oarsmen are born, not made
seems to be proven by the history
of the Ten Eyck family, most ia
nous of American watermen.
Just mention something about
rowing records, a sculling race or
any sort of competition where the
sweep is brought into play, and the
first thing you know you bump into
a Ten Eyck.
This good old New York family
has stood for the best there is in
rowing for four generations, and
their fame has spread from New
York to the Golden Gate, back
ngain and over the seas to Naples.
1t was away back that the first
Jim Ten Eyck was heard from. He
was a boatman on the Hudson riv-
er near Stony point and it is his
tory that no one ever trimmed him.
IT is even limited that it was a Ten
Eyck who ferried Washington over
the Delaware, but this is not posi-
lively known.
Boatman Jim of the Hudson was
grandfather of the present "Old
Jim" and the great-grandfather Of
Ned, coach of the Wisconsin crew,
and of Young Jim" Ten Eyck,
present champion single sculler.
Then there were the famous
twins-Jim and Dick-who rowed
in all parts of the world, and held
the championship. One of these
was father of the present "Old
JIM" and his record with the
sweeps speaks for itself. His sons,
Jim and Ned, are leading opponents
Of the aquatic sport.

famous characters are "Old Jim"

McCreedie club in the Northwest

pie friendly toward the Coasters
