The Sun Life Assurance Company
of Canada is one Of the most progress
sive companies doing business to-day
in the world. In looking over the
annual statement for the past year we
find that large gains were made in all
important items. The Company is
growing stronger as each year rolls
around.
The Company paid to policyholders
last year nearly three million, and
since organization the amount is S23.-
243.167. The life assurance in force
stands at nearly l30 millions.
The Company's growth during the
past ten years is as follows: Income

Who will be the star OF the worlds
series?
When the Giants and Athletics play
ed their one-sided series In 1905,
Mathewson was the wonder, blanking
the Athletics in three games.
In 1906 when the Chicago teams set
tied the question OF supremacy In their
seven-game struggle, Robe, the substi-
tute White Sox saved the day with his
two-base hits.
In 1907 Claude Rossman, the Detroit
FIRST baseman, a player OF mediocre
quality, doomed up as a star. The
Cubs won, but above their victory
stood big Rossman's playing.
In 1908 Johnny King OF the Cubs
was the star
In 1908 Babe Adams. the unadver-
tised pitcher Of the Pirates was a
wonder. His pitching won for Pitts
burg after red hot, seven-game fight.
Adams was scarcely known outside OF
Pittsburg save as q promising young
ster. His worlds erie work made him
the most talked OF player In the land.
Last year when the Athletics and
Cubs played for the honor, Jack
Coombs, the iron man was the star.
II was said that no man Of the team
showed more than another--yet Il was
Coomb's pitching that made success
possible.
This year the experts" are predict
ing that Mathewson and Marquard
will be New York's winning pitchers
and that the Athletic trio. Bender,
Coombs and Plank will star.

One would not imagine that the
mere winning OF a pennant-by n
man who could count four In III
years--would be considered such an
event. but Connie Mack declares
that winning the 1911 gonfalon In
the American League has made this
the greatest year In his life. He
gives two reasons One Ii that a lot
OF people thought he couldn't do II
after the Detroit Tigers got such
start on him. and he is pleased TO
show them. The other is that II
gives him a chance TO meet the New
York Giants for the worlds cham
pionship. Connie Mack harkens
back to 1906 and he says I'VE are
ready for our revenge" He had
figured. he says. that the Giants
would win the National League
championship and he has his heart
set, since they beat him In 1905, on
meeting them again. and his am
bition Ii about TO be realized Mack
Is confident OF the result. He says
the Athletics are the best ball club
he ever saw. THE Giants may be
a better team" says Connie, "but
they will have to show me-" Mack

took his second In 1905 and his third

Yes, replied Mack, with some
and then he qualified:
Hold on! There's something to be
said about that gray matter. Some
players seem terribly stupid, Why
you can tell 'em a thing. over and
over, and they will go into the game
and do exactly opposite TO what you
have told them. Then--all of a sud-
den IL will come to them-and then
they have IT, WHY know a great

three years he was as stupid player

the able business man he is. The on

He had planned to win the American
league pennant with his new team In
1911. His youngsters fooled him.
They won 1t a year ahead Of Mack's
schedule-and then won the world
championship, merely to show that
there was no mistake about II. Mack
expects to win the pennant again in
1912. But beyond that no one could
get him TO prophesy. Twenty years
may elapse before Connie Mack wins
his last pennant. He was born Dec

Voters Disfranchised.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
While the new Geran law seemed to
work very well on election day, II Is
a fact hat many changes arc needed
In the methods of registering voters be-
fore the new law is an unqualified
success.
A large number of voters were dis
franchised this year through mistakes
made by the registration officers an
which could not possibly be corrected
by the county judges by means of
transfers. Another thing is this fact:
There is no provision made for trav-
cling men to register. Many travellers
think enough of their right of suffrage
to travel thousands of miles in order
to get home to vote.
It is a hardship on them to com
pei them to travel thousands of miles
to register and then repeat the jour-
ney to vote.

influence of w. H. Morris.


To the Editor of the Evening Star:
On Sunday last Mr.. w. III. Morris
was removed from the Windsor Hotel
to Memorial Hospital, being sick and
alone. Possibly the Record ambulance
Will never be called upon for service
in the organization begged for the
honor of being the one to handle the
removal. AT the inception of the Me-
mortal Hospital in 1876 this man OF
God took upbn himself the mission of
every Sunday visiting h wards for
sick men. Reading from the daily
newspaper, little bits of other inter-
esting writings, mingled with CHEEKY
conversation, each patient received this
brothers attention.
Enfeebled condition compelled Mr..
Morris's retirement from active bust
ness about eight years ago. But this
simply meant to him an opportunity
to go every day as the cheerful visitor
to his sick men. The experience of
nearly thirty-five years in welfare
work here suggests no parallel to this
life, in faithfulness and beauty of
personal service. Such a mission should
not go unrecognized. and it is with
the hope that this slight public testi-
monial may reach Mr.. Morris that 1t
is written.
Memorial Hospital mas done herself
honor in opening wide her doors to
receive this man-loving man, surround
ing him with every care Thai love and
respect can render. w. II. ABORN.
