one Of the most successful bowling
tournaments ever held in this city is
now being held on the Newport alleys.

Nothing but the highest praise can be
extended 10 the officials and bowlers.

event.
The first weeks schedule has been
a most successful one, and everything
WAS run off with clocklike precision.
There was no wrangling over the
schedule, and the players showed up
on tine
The bowlerS have made n new rec
ord the past week, as every man who
was scheduled TO roll put in an ap-
pearance and shot in the event or
events for which he was carded. and
every event was played on schedule
time 10 the minute. This goes To prove
that Richmond can compete with any
city in the country today.
Petersburg shows Glass.
The Petersburg Bowling association
certainly deserves great credit in the
way they came To the front in send
ing such "a large delegation 10 take
part from the CoCkade city. And it
is Just as remarkable how the men
showed sueh great FORM AS they have
had the local boys guessing from the
first ball thrown down the alleys.
Ii now looks like the boys from
across the Appomattox will carry
away the bulk of the prize money.
They are leading in each event. and
in the five-man division they have
had a clean walk away.
Credit il also due President r. l..
Fiers and Manager Percy Lanier for
the parts which they took In the
handling ~ the players and the man
ner IN which they discharged their
voluntary duties

Gunboat Smith appears to be very

mind a certain Thomas J. Sharkey.

United States navy, and later on a
keeper of a public house opposite

interval Sharkey became a pugilistic

rushing, smashing tactics of the ma
riner he had eyes for the very effec-
tive work of James j. Jeffries in
countering Sharkey's leads with

Mr.. Siler's eyesight has been ques-
toned and commented upon ever
since. but as Sharkey was In the hos
pital two months and never again was
able to stand a gruelling contest, 1t Is
only fair to assume that Mr.. Siier

ordinary honest referee.

COMMENT AND GOSSIP
IN REALM OF SPORTS

News from Bermuda. where Mr..
Chance Is teaching his ball players,
known frivolously as the Onions. to
sprout into real ball players. states
that Hal Chase has got TO learn to
play second base. 1t is said that
Prince Hal does not know enough 70
keep his feet out of the way of the
man sliding into the sack.
There is prevailing opinion that
Mr.. Chase has nothing to learn in re-
gard to playing the first bag.
However. il Mr.. Chance is bent on
playing the initial sack, why not try
Hal at third? A left-handed third
haseman would be pippin. Chance,
Derrick Martin or Priest and Hal
Chase would certainly make a sem
sationally fast inneld.
But we all can be managers from
afar off.
II is said that the reason RUDE
Marquard does not like the idea of
playing with the Giants this season
is the fear that Blossom will get a
new sketch.
DR.. Ayers continues to study medi-
cine at the Medical College of Viz
GINA, and Manager Griffith has not
suspended him as yet. Perhaps Griff
Is certain that the doctor will not
crowd Walter Johnson out of his Job
this year, and that Cashion, Groom,
Hughes. Boehling. Gallia. Engel and
Austin are promising enough to al
low the medical student a chance to
complete his studies.
Charley Strain. of the Richmond
club, says that he is going to beat
his record of last year. III Strain will
stick to his pitching, cut out his de-
sire to play the whole game and sub
stitute for every man who stubs his
toe, and get enough sleep to keep
him from worrying, he will do it,
no doubt,
Major league scouts who have dis
cussed Strain declare he Is too light
for the big show, but he Is a wiry
chap, and can stand the gait as well
as many bigger man. He is no strip

Many Ministers ~ the Gospel Re-
eeive Lees for Their Work Than
Common laborers.

Rarely has the plight of the under
paid clergyman been more bluntly
stated than at the Central New York
conference of the Methodist Episco-
pal church, where recently it was
said that 5000 Methodist ministers
are living within the shadow of the
poorhouse and that the average sti-
pend of an educated Methodist min
lister is $3.50 year, while Chicago
carpenters are paid IS cents an hour,
or more than 81, 500 year.
The only available statistics on the
incomes of ministers are those which
resulted from the religious census
taken by the government in 1906
and published two years ago, says
the Boston Globe The averages de-
rived from data contributed by 1884,
900 ministers of hundred denomi-
nations showed the Unitarians at
the top of the list with an average
salary of 81, 653. Then in order
came the Universalists with $1,238,
the General Convention of the New
Jerusalem with $1,233, the Jewish
with 1922, the Presbyterian with
$1,177, the Reformed with $1,170,
the United Presbyterian with 81 ,096
and the Congregationalist with ST.
042. But the average in all denom-
nations for places below the rank
of fourth-class cities and for the ru-
raj districts was S573.

MICROSCOPE IN THE KITCHEN
Its Use in Modern Life Essential In
Detecting the Adufteration
in Food

The use of the microscope is rec
commended in the kitchen, if not of
the ordinary house, at least of those
having an army of servants and pur-
chasing by wholesale. In hotels,
boarding houses, hospitals, jails its
use in our complicated modern life
is becoming essential, and the need
is based upon the necessity of deter
mining the degree of adulteration of
food. The chef has no excuse for
not knowing what he buys if he is
provided with microscope.
In starchy substances the adulter-
ations viii soon be revealed by the
microscope if the grains of starch
do not have the selfsame form in
the potato and in rice. Pepper can
be adulterated only with peas or
ground beans and this fraud also
may be readily detected. The rule
may be almost universally applied to
all foods that pass through the kit
chen, and especially the kitchens of
the wealthy. Coffee under the mi
croscope does not look like chicory
in structure and chocolate made with
peanuts does not look like pure
chocolate.-Harper's Weekly.

HORSE MEAT IN PARIS.

French horse butchers are obliged
20 display a signboard showing the
kind of meat they sell, and are not
allowed to trade in any other sort
of meat except that of mules and
donkeys- They sometimes try to pass
off horsefesh as that of donkeys on
unwary customers, because the lat
ter is considered to be more delicate
in flavor, and therefore more choice.
According to statistics for 1903 there
existed in Paris As horse butcher
shops, while in 1908 the number had
increased to 900, one large dealer
owning 20 shops in various parts of
the city.

TELEPHONE GAVE ALARM.

A telephone receiver blows from

was the means of preventing the
theft of many thousands Of dollars.
The large doors of the vault had
been torn away, allowing access to
$4,000 in currency, when Mrs. The
Odore Braemer, telephone operator,
answered a signal. No voice came
over the wire, but she heard second
blast and gave the alarm. Three
thieves, who were engaged in looting
the place, made their escape with
$4,000.

PIGS SOLVE SUBURBS
GARBAGE PROBLEM
Women Install Porcine Reduction
Works in Edgewater, Fashion
able Chicago Colony.

Chicago, Nov. A.-Pigs as garbage re-
duction works have been adopted in the
fashionable Edgewater district of Chi
cago, and it was the women who chose
this way of disposing OF their kitchen re-
fuse There is no plan to go into pork
manufacture on a large scale from the
garbage of the city, as is done near
Grand Rapids, Mich, and Boston, but
something desperate had to be done. The
exorbitant price which has been demand
ed of the city by the company which
owns the one garbage reduction plant
has been refused, and Mayor Harrison
doggedly is sticking to the plan OF filling
some clayholes at the outskirts of .the,city,
in spite OF the indignant protests of citi-
zens whose homes are in that neighbor-
hood. What the outcome OF the city's
garbage problem will be no one is now
predicting.
The administration turned a deaf ear
to arguments that the city could make
profit from its garbage disposal. as is be-
ing done in other cities, but continues the
enormous expense of collecting the gar
bage and hauling it away, making big
expense item out of what it is asserted
is a city asset. The Edgewater women
who have decided 10 go back to the hos
method of cruder times have fenced q
vacant lot and Stocked IL with some large
hungry pigs of miscellaneous breed.
They expect to make a profit on the en-
terprise, but their first consideration is
that of handling the garbage problem
better than the city administration is do
ing it
