the fact that the militant suitragettes

women to pay greater attention TO
their physical well-being and also ed
ucate them for social work. 1t Is
planned to have classes in physical
culture in which the manly art of sell
defence and jiu-jitsu will be taught,

There seems to be SO much discus
sion about the relative strikeout rec
ords of Rube Waddell and Walter
Johnson that it may be timely to pre-
sent the figures In the season of 1904
When WaddolI was with the Athletics,
he struck out 2i} men in 371 innings
Record books differ in regard to Wal
ter Johnson's record for last year. Tho
so called Official Record book credits
the Washington pitcher with 313 for
his total of strkeouts for 1910 while
tie Sporting News record book gives
him a total of 3l6 for 274 innings. In
either case it will be seen that the palm
still belongs to the eccentric Waddel.

The membership at this time was

May 2, 1906, the committee ON new
location submitted for consideration
four lots as available church sites.
The congregation was unanimous in
it's choice of the site at Fourteenth
street and Tenth avenue, and motion
was carried TO request the trustees to
at once secure the lots, and at an ad
journed meeting held May 6. 1906, the
congregation authorized the trustees
to incorporate the congregation and
to borrow the s2,100 needed to pur-
chase the lots in question, This was
done and the corner lot, 40x127 feet,
was purchased from Henry Arndt for
$1,000, and the adjoining 4ox127 feet
was secured from Ives Hoar for 5000,
when the papers were placed in the
hands of DR.. r. M. Pearce, president
of the board of trustees. July "a, 1906,
