ing a cricket ball lovingly in his handS
Sammy, being in flannels, manages
to gain entrance to the sacred inclosS
ure during the Gentlemen's second
inning. 1t should be explained that
since the Players had scored 267 and
the Gentlemen only rs, the Gentley
men were having their second inning
on top of the first, the Players fully
expecting to wallop them with one
inning to the two, and a good many
runs over. And when the next wicket
fell Mr.. Langholme, the Gentlemen's
hope, who had made creditable Is
in his first attempt, was to try to re-
trieve the situation.
Hello, Butts! How did you get
here?" inquired Langholme, with Ian
guild interest.
Sammy smiled. ''Have a bracer,
and III tell you," he said.
He led the unresisting Langholme
toward the little booth behind the pa
vilion. Nobody was there, Sammy
having squared the booth man. With
a deft, unexpected movement of the
arm, Sammy thrust a gag into Mr..
Langholme's mouth. Then he threw
him on the floor behind the booth and
tied him fast with a rope that he
had taken from about his waist.
Next instant shouts of ''Langholme,
next MANI resounded, and Sammy
saw one of the Gentlemen walking
of the field with his wicket down.
Sammy hastily thrust on a pair
of knee-guards, took the bat that lay
beside the glazing, speechless Mr..
Langholme, and walked out into the
field.
"Langholme's had a stroke" he ex-
planned truthfully to the retiring bats
man. 1--WE taken his place"
A minute later he was standing be-
fore his wicket, facing. the-demon
Hobbs, % yards away. Beside him
stood a second batsman. Sammy
didn't know why he was standing

With navy blue gowns, black ana

UNIFORM ACCOUNTING
VOTED DOWN BY HOUSE
Representative Montague Declares Ar
bitrary Requirements Likely to
Cause Confusion.


Washington, May c2-Reprosonta.
tive Montague. OF Virginia. In u speech
to-day on the question OF classifying
corporations and requiring uniform
system or accounts as part of the In
terstato trade commission work, de-
clared that arbitrary requirements of
UNIFORM accounting was likely to cause
confusion worst confounded."
i look upon efforts to project tho
power OF this nation into the individ-
unl accounting Of corporations in our
several States" he said. "as one OF the
most impcrinlistic stops that this ma
ton possibly could tako. You prob
ably would perilize tho business OF tho
nation. You would perilizo tho initia-
tive of business.
This whole question Is one TO be
considered primarily by the trade
commission and upon It's rccommcn-
dalton we could consider it's eXpedi-
cncy and its wisdom. To take II great
national institution and project 1t into
rious corporations and at one stroke
or the pen TO attempt to promulgate
a uniform system Of accounting where
there can be no uniformity, and to do
that In advance of any work by this
commission, or reports from II. 1t would
be very Incorporate and unwise con-
duct"
The House, after considerable do
bate. voted down n proposed amend
ment to require uniform accounting.
