Notwithstanding the fact that twenty
four bowlers rolled in The Washington
Herald duckpln tournament last night,
no records were smashed or were even
in danger. and the pin spilIers failed to
roll up TO their usual standard.
In the singles Parker made the high
total, with 524. but fell short OF third
place by nineteen pins. Bad breaks
caused the smallness of the scores, as
the bowlars shot well at the single pins
and splits
In the doubles Fowler and Oehler
looked like sure mark breakers for 4
little while. but the pace was too fast
for Fowler. and this pair fell through.
Interesting matches should be rolled to-
night, as some star pin spillers are
scheduled to roll, and the scores should
go sky high. The rolling will start
promptly at 7:SO o'clock, with Thompson,
Bradley, Osborn, and CuIlin rolling on
alleys l and ?.
Following are the scores made last

University, Coach Lannigan, of the Vir-
ginia trsca team has entered the larg-
est contingent that has ever competed
in a meet away from home in the big
carnival.
Thirty-four men have been entered in
the various events, which means further
more that the Orange and Blue will have
men in every open event on the pro-
gramme.
The exact makeup of the relay team
that will face Georgetown in the crown
ing event Of the programme. is still prob
lematical, although at least two men,
Capt. Todd and Wylie Cooke, are assured
OF their places. Mickey Guy and either
Briggs, Ftte, or Holccmbe will fill the
other two places. so that a makeup Is
apt to be the same as that which faced
Washington and Lee.

q member OF the Rex Sox.
How McAleer was ever induced to part
with Williams seems to be a mystery,
fer II ever a promising young bah player
kicked I'D the dust on a big league dta-
mOnd it was this same Williams. His
work with Boston last season was
whole lot better than the ordinary, and
much better than the official records re-
veal.
At that the fielding and hitting marks,
as compiled in Spaldings guide, show
that Williams hit better and caught
better than did either Ainsmith or Henry
The chances are that young Nunamsker
looked so good to the Boston crowd that
with Bill Carrigan for a side partner
1t was figured Williams could be spared.
Then again with Jake Stahl back in the
fold, Williams would not be needed on
first base. where he played a number
Of games last season.
OF all the catchers in the American
League last season Williams stood fourth.
His fielding mark .s7S for IS games, is
a good one. He only made five errors
and had eight passed balls.
Manager Griffith is also glad to get
his hands on Williams, for he has been
following the youngsters work during the
past three seasons. In fact. he wanted
TO get him for Cincinnati two years ago,
but Boston slipped in ahead Of him.

Boston against the Nationals last year.

Manager Griffith is angling for another

in the wilderness. Also the recruit, be-
ing younger, can jump to his daily work

his arm for warmer weather, nor to
work carefully with his steel-rimmed
legs. And while the recruit is travelling
at top speed, the veteran is slowly but

places, but these athletes have aban-

team last fall. will most likely be the
other man whom Coach Foley will select.

How Much Did He Lose?

A Fargo grocer who is not a
mathematician, has asked the
police to solve a little financial
problem for him.
A well-dressed, smooth-talking
young man entered his store and
asked for Scent jar Of mus
tqrd. He gave a $40 bill in pay
ment, and upon receiving his
change remarked that he thought
he had handed the grocer a 81
bill.
"You certainly are an honest
man." he said. ''You might have
given me only 95 cents in change
and | would not have discovered
tue mistake"
Then the customer produced a
81 bill, placed it with four OF the
81 bills the grocer had given him
in change and asked the grocer
if he would mind letting him
have a SIS bill for the five 81 bills.
The grocer threw a SIS bill on the
counter.
Here, Pm robbing you of all
your change, said the custom
err, picking up the SIS bill and the
five 81 bills. Il can do better
than this. Just let ne have my
$40 bill back and I'll give you
this SIS and the 81 bills.'
He made the exchange, and
the customer left the store. Lat

cash, discovered a shortage. He

The Secretary of Agriculture
urges the American people t.
eat more mutton and less beef,
because, as he says, Mutton on
the hoof is less than helf the
price of beef" The advice is
good. By all means eat more
mutton, not alone because of its
relative cheapness, but for its
real nutritive value. Eat low
priced mutton while you can. 1t
will not be for long, if the Free
Traders carry out their plan of
so reducing the tariff on wool as
to discourage sheep growing.
When American farmers have
stopped growing sheep, as they
surely will when there is no long
er any profit in wool, and when
the fiocks now in existence shall
have been sent to the butchers
block for food because it does
not pay to breed or keep them
for their wool, then mutton will
cease to be cheaper than beef.
Both meats will be higher in
price than beef now is. The on
ly way to have cheap mutton is
to make it an object for Ameri-
can farmers to breed more sheep,
and that is by making it profta-
BILE to produce wool. A reduced
tariff that reduces the pric. of
wool will destroy the industry of
sheep growing in the United
States.
