Washington has been given the tour
ney for the Atlantic Coast Bowling As
sociation for 1916. a vote taken at a
special meeting Of that organization
last night at Boston showed the Ma
tional Capital to be the favorite for the
meeting next year by a considerable
margin. Syracuse was the only other
prominent bidder.
Not only was Washington awarded
the tournament for 1916. but a man
from this city was elected president of
the organization for the coming year
William +. GUIDE. Mr.. GUIDE became a
candidate at the unanimous request Of
local bowlers, and little trouble seems
to have been encountered in obtaining
his election.
While the Washington teams did not
bowl exceptionally high scores last
night in the Boston event, their work
was very creditable. None of the teams
rolled up to its standard, the Palace
doing the best with a mark of 1,581
for the set. Harry Krauss was the
highest Individual. knocking down a
total Of 343 pins The Velvet Kind OBJ
tanned set of 1907. while the other
teams, Brunswicks, Home Club and Po-
tomacs, fell below 800. 1t was not
expected that the counts would be as
large as have been made here. as the
AZ Inch balls were used, which is much
smaller than the ones being thrown
down the alleys in the local leagues.

from Kansas City to do backstop work,
was returned to that club.
Arlie Latham. II any one wants to

he expects to do better when he gets

Charles Sisson. who has played the
outfieid for Elmira for the past two
seasons, has drawn his unconditional
release Gus Schmidt, who has been
carried on the Elmira list for two
years, though he failed to report, also
has been turned loose.
The McAlester Club OF the Western
Association has released Manager Rudy
King and put Catcher Phil Ketter in
charge. King could not take an active
part in the game because of bad legs,
and the club could not afford bench
manager.
The great generosity OF the Wards in
returning Milton Reed to the Phillies
led a philadelphia scribe to remark
that doubtless the Feds would like to
return a lot of players to organized
ball clubs from which they were stolen

how to control the recoil. If 1t were
not controlled the gun would jump
back anything up to fifty yards. not
only probably smashing itself up,
but killing the gunners as we'll.
Springs and air chambers, OF
course, have been used, but 1t was
found that they quickly got out of
order.
The problem was solved by filing
the special recoil chambers with a
compound of which glycerin is the
chief ingredient.

PROHIBITION EMPTlEs JAIL.

1T has surprised even the strongest
advocates of prohibition to see the eff.
feet that law has had in preventing
crimes and misdemeanors In Greenlee
county" says the Clifton (Ariz.)
Journal.
For many years the courts of this
country have been occupied with a
multiplicity of cases. mostly resulting
from booze, and the several Justice
courts have been kept busy sentenc-
ing prisoners to Jail or filming them.
For years the jails have been crowd
ed to capacity and the fines have often
run close to $1,000 in single justice
court in one month. But conditions
have changed since the first of the
year. The Jail has been empty at some
places good share of the time; cases
have been few and far between, and
most of them were slight misdemean
ors."

MANY RUSSIAN JEWS

Have Proved Themselves Loyal Sub,
jects Of the Gear In the Present
European War-compeIIed
to Dwell Within Pale.

Russia has the largest Jewish popu-
lation Of any country in the world.
Although their lot has not always been
an enviable one under the rule OF the
czars, the great war has found them
loyal citizens of their northern father
land, willing and anxious to contribute
their sacrifices to the success of its
cause. According to private letters
and dispatches from Russia many
Jews have come forward to enlist;
they have opened and equipped hos
pitfalls for the soldiers. and displayed
an eagerness to aid with their goods
and their labor. The warmth of their
patriotism has been surprise in Mus
covy. The position Of the Jewish sub
jects of the car, as 1t was before the
war. is told in bulletin just prepared
by the National Geographic society.
1t reads as follows:
More than one-half Of the worlds
total Jewish population. numbering
about 6,5O0.000. dwells within the Rus
sian empire. The total number of
Jews in the world numbers about 49,
100000. The United States and Aus
tria-Hungary. each with more than
two million; Germany, with 100000.
and the British empire. with 100000,
are the other important homelands of
this scattered nation. Russia, however,
today might be looked upon as the
true fatherland of the Jewish people.
as the great body of them live there.
This comes primarily from the cause
that the Slavs, more especially the
Russian Slavs, have always been the
most tolerant of peoples in matters of
religion. The Russian church, prop.
erly speaking. is not a missionary
church. That a Russian should be a
member Of the Russian branch of the
Eastern Orthodox church is regarded
almost as law of nature in Muscovy.
while the Russian feels that 1t is just
as natural and fitting that a Tartar
should be Mohammedan, and that q
Jew should follow the Mosaic creed
ut is. true that most of the Jews
were originally Polish subjects, and II
is said that colonies of them lived in
the basin Of the Volga and the Crimea
500 years before the birth of Christ
Through the years of their bitterest
persecution the rule of the Poles over
the Jews was light and amiable one
and many hundreds of thousands oil
them passed to this country. Thus
with Poland, Russia acquired the
greater part of her Jewish subjects
