ENGLAND HAS MEMBERS FOR NAMES
 lS NAMES CLUE

in tho long main street ol Midland town the following names appear on lhe shop fronts, supplemented by a few from side streo.s: Sparrow. Martin. Pigeon, Pariridge, startlins. Dove, Coclrill. Lark. Grove. Finch. and Nishtengaic. A local wog pro- posed In lhe Town Council Go rename lhe street Birdcage Walk, Singular iy enough, Mr. Dove appeared n che cour, lately for abusing his wife.
 Tn small town in Sussex MT. Saw age Is the leading butcher Or. Death Dakes the stafC of life air. Gray Is green grocer. Mir. Delicate is the blacksmith. and the muscles of bis brawny arms are as strong as iron bands" as the poet sings whilst the local shaver makes no attempt to con ceai the fact than you are in for Marks if you go Co him
 On a farm lately two laborers worked in the same field ofen enough who were named Pm and Pothecary, whilst neigbboring villages were blesl with incumbents who reioiced in the names of Rev Paschal Lamb and Rev. Vivero Rabbits. And the recent oc- lcurances of the centiteniary of the great battle reminds one Of Che death lately of a monagenarian named Well rngton Waterloo Traverrs.
 lt is very unfortunate that Canad- ian's name bestowed upon him at the front would be Quintus, because, al- thought it is quite fine name, his surname happens Co be Cumber, and be is constantly referr,ug to in the law reports. being baraster as Mr. ' e. Cumber
 Stin. this is no worse than such names as Hr. Mineral Waters, Mr. Frosty Winter, and MT. Alfred Day Weeks. which are perfectly genuine cases Of nomenclature.
 Sometimes marriage plays queer tricks with names. For instance. Miss Wild Rose, has a sweetly pret- ty name until she welded handsome young fellow named Bull. Then she saw it.
 In conclusion. it seems hardly prob able that the names of Thinn and Freshwater for the partners in a dairy business could have been .purposely chosen for trade purposes.-London Pearson's Weehy.)

,rman Motor Racee Are off

German Motor Races Arc or
 The European war has taken its toll in German sports. as well as from other nations engaged in the great conflict Among the latest reports from Berlin is one to the effect that the annual fall races of the German Motorboat Club. usually held on the Muggelsee. near Berlin, have been cancelled. The fact that many motor boat owners with their craft have joined the volunteer motor boat crew and the necessity of saving gasoline are the reasons assigned. This can celiation of the races for the second time deals the motorboat sport a heavy blow, for there has been noth- ing along this line since the Baltic sea trip of the Imperinal Motor Yacht Club in June 1914 The club in an- nouncing the cancellation, says that nothing is planned for the immediate future

"ooc" Roller TO Retire
 Dr Benjamin x. Roller American champion wrestler ia about to retire from professional sports iu order to devote himself to his duties as B phys ician This Illinois farmers son has had a remarkable career. He paid for his education by his own efforts, en- couraged by hts mother
 Tom. c. Mcdonald, one of the best known athletes of the Northwest who at the present time is employed at Treadwell, knew the Seattle phys ician-athlete for many years, per. haps better than any other person. Yesterday Mr. Macdonald told the writer of this column of Rollers car ger.
 While Roller was assisting his fa- ther about the farm the idea of be- coming @ physician was constantly on his mind He went io the pre- paratory school of De Pauw uniyer- sity after his mother, an intellectual woman, had helped him to prepare for his entrance examination
 He pulled nails in dry goods store to get money to buy new suit of clothes They paid him i5 cents an hour He started a gymnasium class, and that began his career in athletics, first as @ football player then as wrestler.
 Studied at Penney
 Alter his graduation from De Pauw he went to the University of Penn sylvania to take a course in medicine. He was a sixfooter weighing over 200 pounds, but at that a runt in Q family of six Being without money he soon began to play professional football In 1898 he organized a team that won many victories for the Pitts burgh A. c. Two years later he was with the Duquesne Country and Ath. letic club. A number of his games were with a team known as the Ath- letics managed by Connie Mack.
 Roller explained bis team and won the championship Of the University during his second and fourth years, but never played on the varsity be- cause of the fouryear rule. Upon his graduation he received high hon ors, winning several prizes in medi- cine. After leaving college he was assistant to Dr. Barton Cooke. a pro- fessional in the medical school, help | ing to write a text book
 Taught at U. of w.
 He then decided to accept a place as professor in physiology in the Uni versity of Washington In addition he is supervisor of athletics in the uni versity and an adviser to the Seattle A. c. After two years he decided to open an office. He speculated in land and was ,piling up wealth when the panic of 1907 came.
 Just at this time the Vancouver A. C. opened up ita new clubhouse. Rol Ter was invited to wrestle with Jacl, Carkeek. That bout started him on his wrestling career He won two falls in 17 minutes and received $1-, 7OO- As Dr. Roller puts 1t. the pros pect of making nearly $1OO a min. ute was alluring.

Cobb Can't Hlt Johnson

Cobb Can't Hit Johnson
 Ever since Walter Johnson came into the American League he has been thorn in the side of ny Cobb.
 These two athletes are considered tho greatest ball players in the cir cult dominated by Ban Johnson-that is, in their respective positions. Cobb's record proves conclusiyely that he is the champion batsman of his league and for that matter the whole world.
 Cobb had splendid success as a bats man against all the pitchers of the American League save Walter John son. The Georgia peach" has con. sislently mauled the curves of about every pitcher In the league, slammed them almost at will
 He has fattened his batting average off the pitching of the mighty man from far-off Minnesota-Bender and hit the terrific cross-fire of the great Edward Plank. The foxy Plank has been sore puzzle to the most ex pert of left-handed batsmen of the American League, but he failed to puzzle the great Cobb
 Just one pitcher has held the whip hand over the demon batsman -only one When this tall lad, known as the Idaho wonder" began opera tions against ny Cobb back in August of 1907 he was as green as new mown hay, and his very first time in the big league was against the Detroit Tigers and ny Cobb.
 In three times at bat Cobb failed to make a hit, in fact, Johnson only allowed the lad from Georgia four hits in the first 24 times at bat. This was rather discouraging to the gen tleman from Royston, Ga. and he has had a rather discouraging time of it ever since. for Johnson has been a hard proposition for Cobb to solve

 Eddie Hughes, In the Seattle Times opink sheet writes:
 That the two games of American football which will be played by the Universities of California and Wash. ineton on November 6 and lS win be the greatest gridiron battles ever wit. messed on the Pacific coast is tho firm opinion of Wayne Sutton, assistant to Gnmour Dobie. coach of the Uni. versity Of Washington team. Sutton returned Friday night from two weeks stay in California While there he spent several days on the Berlyel- ey campus. interviewed Jimmy Schaf- fer. coach of the California team. and watched the 3OO-man squad at work under his direction.
 Two weeks ago the spirit of Cali. fornia students was rather weak, and they said they would be satiafled if they were able to give Washington a close game" said Sutton yesterday, Now their courage is up and after watching Coach schaffer aud his as- sistant, Andrew Smith of Michigan work on the squad for a fortnight they ere optimistic and the feeling is running high that they will be able to defeat Washington in at least one of the games this year.
