CHRISTMAS GIFTS THAT
AMOUNT TO SOMETHING

In the December Woman's Home
Companion appears an article enti-
tied Christmas Gifts That Grow"
An interesting extract follows:
Our father who had been
brought up on farm wanted 70 in
vest in a pair of sheep that a
friend offered to sell him.
ut would make splendid
Christmas gift for Edna, he con-
fided to his wife.
Their lambs would increase her
bank account at very little expense
to us. but we simply cannot keep
them while We live in the city
1T was too good an idea to give
up, and after a while they found a
way out of their difficulty. The
friend who had the sheep for sale
suggested that he care for them
with his own flock, and that remu-
neration for his services be made
in a portion of the wool from the
sheep and from the lambs they
might have. This arrangement has
proved very satisfactory. Two or
three times a year the father goes
into the country to see that ali is
we'll with the stock, that the wool
is properly disposed of. and that the
lambs are branded, and during the
last two years it has Deen his Gus
tom to take his small daughter
with him on such trips. She always
knows just how many sheep she
has, approximately how much they
are worth; and when the wool or
any of the sheep are sold the money
paid for them is put into her own
small hand. In company with her
father she deposits it in the bank
herself. This last year she has ia
ken a great deal of interest in earn
ing and adding to- the savings &C
count started for her when she was
but a few months old. She has her
allowance, which she earns by per-
forming some light household du-
ties and overcoming most promi-
nent faults, and a large part of this
is laid aside for the bank account.
Although she but seven years old,
she has at least two hundred dol
lars to her credit, which. even with
out future additions, will amount
to over one hundred and seventy
five dollars more on her twenty-first
birthday if it is undisturbed and
brings interest at four per cent.

Predicts That O'Toole
Will Beat New York

This OToole man." says DR.. Hobllt-
sell, of the Reds. us going to beat New
York. think he has Just the stuff to
beat that gang with, and expect to see
him put 1t over them three times out of
four. If any New York pitcher beats
him 1t will be Mathewson-he ought tc
get away with the others.
1t will take some steady pitching,
without any bases on balls, to trim
him. just like the pitching Suggs did
Thursday. Matter of plain arithmetic,
that's all. There will be so few hits
made off OToole that the pitcher who
beats him must give so few bases on
balls that OToole's work will be neil
tralized. Suppose O'Toole, as he did
Thursday. allows only five hits, but
gives five passes. That is equivalent
to ten hits, and, to beat O'Toole a
pitcher who gives no passes can stand
Tor seven or eight hits, and yet have
q good show to get away with him.
Suggs passed nobody, and stood for
seven hits. yet won out by the mar
rowest of margins over O'Toole with
his five hits and Ave free tickets. Sec
how the arithmetic works out?"
The latest gossip has ii that Marty
O'Toole is not an Irishman, as might
possibly be supposed from his name,
but a Frenchman. the real spelling ne
ing Eau Tulle. Be that as it may,
Marty is some pitcher. Anyone who can
fan ten of the Reds has to go some
to execute such fell designs. Most OF
the third strikes were on balls that the
boys did not even hit at, but stepped
would come way inside and hit the
batsman. but broke nicely ovel the plate,
and were so plainly good that the vic
tins did not even make a holler.

Today's Probable Lineup

Primed and ready for the game this
afternoon. Georgetown is confidently
expecting that the University of Vir-
Rinia team, will be defeated and that
tomorrows game will decide the cham
pionship. Virginia arrived today eager
for the game. pinning her hopes in
Eppa Rixey, the pitcher who has won
everlasting fame Tor himself and the
Grange and Blue.
Georgetown will probably use Feinle
in opposing RiXey. The two will meet
for the first time this year. as the game
at Charlottesville last week was won
by Virginia with White opposing RiNey
White had the game well in hand UP to
the last inning, but passed Neff and lost
control long enough to allow two hits.
That Virginia is determined to win,
and will not give in until the last man
ts out in the final round, Is seen in the
number of games Won this year in the
last inning Time and again the
Charlottesville team has pulled IN ap-
parently lost game out of the fire in
the last session. With a team capable
Of hitting anything. and one daring on
the bases Virginia, too. expects that
the title will be taken to Charlottes-
vile at the close Ct the game tomor-
low.
Ono of the largest. II not the largest
crowds of the season is looked for to-
day. as Virginia Is always popular.
Several of the Charlotte sville stars have
a number OF friends in the city, and
this year more than in other years.
Washington has a large contingent at
the University Of Virginia, which ar
rfves with the team.

CLEVELAND MAN IS
OPPONENT TONIGHT
OF WASH|NGTON|AN
Wrestlers About the Same
Weight and Bout Should
Be Close.

Much speculation is being made
among wrestling followers of the Ma
tional Capital today regarding the
probable winner of the match which is
scheduled for the. Gayety Theater to-
night between Joe Turner and George
Porter.
Porter is a Cleveland, Ohio, middle
weight, and has been victorious over
some of the best men in his weight in
she country during the present season.
Experts agree that tonight's encounter
should be close and interesting from
the beginning. as the men vary but
little as to weight.
Porter's weight is said by his man
ager, Jack Connors, to be 165 pounds,
while Turner holds himself at 1Sl
pounds. Manager Peck, of the Gayety,
has promised bout for the very near
future between Jack Reese and Louis
Montana. This match will probably be
arranged for next week. Reese is tho
wrestler defeated by Turner on Wednes-
day night. Pat O'Connor will referee
tonights fray.

SELECT PROGRAM
OF SEVEN EVENTS
Classy Animals Will Face
the Barrier on Today's
Gard.
BY PAROLE"

BALTIMORE, May "A cracking
good program is in store for race goers
at Pimico this afternoon. Seven races
are again carded and some rather
classy animals will parade before the
stand during the afternoon.
A big field of rather ordinary maidens
will come together IN the first race.
Slim Princess will probably have the
call here. This one has been knocking
at the door some time and but for hard
luck would have graduated long ere
this. At Norfolk the filly showed ex
cellent form and was just beaten a neck
in LA by Jeanette B.
Some OF the best tWo-year- at the
track are carded in the second event
and they should furnish cracking race.
The Davies entry. Calgary and Liberty
Hall, would seem to have a shade here.
Calgary is reputed TO be the best two
year-old in the Toronto turfmans stable
and IS entered in the English Derby.
This is a really good colt and won his
only start at Norfolk in handy fashion.
He looks like peaches and cream in
the race.
For the Rennert Handicap, Priscillian
stands out. This one is the best horse
now in training in this country. In his
work since coming to Pimlico the horse
has shown all his old-time foot. He
should take up l30 pounds and come
home swinging.
Reybourn might get the place at the
weights. Judging from his race Of
Tuesday. but he will have DR.. Tuenner
I" beat. This one is at the ton of his
form Just now. but the handicap gives
him little more weight than he likes.
The steeplechase may result in an
upset. but with the present outlook the
Odd champion, Coligny. will he the one

has been schooling finely this spring,
and has had work enough to fit him FOR
a race. His class should carry him

Dav Pell. whi,h made his first essay

Suffragist looks the best in the fifth
race. The Voter horse Is mighty

Tuesday shows that he is on edge. Tex

tenders.
Bench Sand ran some good races at
Norfolk. and on form should be the
