chased by the things of which her hus-

quiousness which marks the employee

coniidant Of his employer. There was
evident perturbation in his manner, as
that of one who was oppressed per-

was plainly apparent. in addition. the
great desire to please.
Glover stood in parlous case. With
out willing it he had been forced to
witness the outbreak of Il wife against
her husband. and that husband the
man on whom his own prosperity de-
pended. Not knowing what might be
future developments in the relations
between Mr.. and Mrs TraSk he must
perforce maintain IL discreet distance
between the two.

her husbands conduct did not reply to

The Telephone Call For "the O*her
Woman"
Surging to and fro in the mind Of Mrs.
Trask. Now she turned again to her
husband, and. looking directly at him,
she said:
"a woman called you up
ooh, that's it, Who was it?'
Perhaps with the memory Of similar
scenes in mind the wife answered:

kS..e2Szsy DO you mind opening the
safe, Mr. Trask? | want to get Mrs.
Trasb's account books"
With an "All right" Trask began
feeling in his pockets. He explored
one after another without result.
What did | do with that card?" he
said. Il had card with the combina-
ton written on it. That's a funny
thing. Where the devil did l put it,"
Maybe it's in another suit suggest

To the secretary Trask replied:

Again from Mrs. Trask:
perhaps you left it down at Long
Branch"
The mention of the watering place
seemed to irritate the financier. There
were associations With it's name. per-
haps. which made the mention by his
wife doubly disagreeable. On the lips
of others Long Branch was merely
name on map. a pleasant place
wherein to while away a holiday.
There was something in Long

turn on her and say savagely. with no
attempt to conceal his irritation:
That's ridiculous! Why should l
leave the combination to the safe at
Long Branch?"
She did not reply to his outburst Of
temper. He stood thinking intently for
a moment, and then exclaimed:
''Oh. | know what | did With it,

Now she held him by the vigOr Of her

thus. Perhaps there had been some
thing in 1.-The other woman's" voice as
she had demanded speech with Trask

The junior championship was won by
the Bryn Mawr PENN four in well

up we'll all through the season were
the Islip Freebooters, the Rumson
Country Club four, the Aiken Reds and
the Meadow Brook Magpies.
The question Of issuing challenge
for the trophy carried away in 1914 By
the Hurlingham four came up at the
regular meeting Of the Polo Assoc!a-
ton, and il was unanimously voted to
postpone such a proceeding indefinitely,
owing TO the war in Europe. Foxhall
P. Keane, who played on many inter
national teams, declared he did not
favor the issuing OF q challenge for at
least fifteen years, because OF the fact
that the war had crippled England's
chances SO badly.

GROWING INTEREST
SHOWN IN HOCKEY

There was no sport OF the year which
enjoyed q better season than Ice
hockey. This stirring game swoks from
a slumber that had lasted through
several seasons, and made an appeal
10 sport lovers which was heard
throughout the land. IL is fair TO say
that never before were SO many per
sons interested in ice skating, and
more especially in hockey. There are
several reasons for local interest
which may be assigned. but none more
pertinent than the close. exciting bat
tie for the championship OF the ANA
teur Hockey League Of New York
New blood and new interest was in
stilled into the game when the Boston
Athletic Association Joined the league
and entered team in the champion
ship series. Not since 1900, before
many Of the present enthusiasts knew
there was such a game as hockey. has
club outside Of New York made Il
bid for popularity In this league. In
that year George Orton entered the
Philadelphia hockey team IN the league.
The Boston team made fight for
the championship that will live in the
history Of the league. Il lost In the
final game against the St Nicholas
Hockey Club, which won the title for
the second consecutive season. The
Bostonians beat the St Nicks in a
game In Boston, which, incidentally.
was the only game the champions lost

CHESS YEAR LIVELY
DESPITE THE WAR

Activity I'm chess matters was nat
urally lessened during 1915. owing to
the war, but the players in this coun-
try were fairly busy. The first Of the
year was notable for the return Of
Jose r. Capablanca, who had left Eu-
rope after the outbreak OF the war for
South America. Upon his return to
New York he took part in the national
tournament, ard captured first prize
without the loss OF a game.
In Brooklyn, on February %, Capa-
blanca set a rev record FOR simultane-
Gus play by conducting sixty-fve games
against eighty-four opponents. Very
soon after, at Portland, Ore. F. J.
Marshall. the United States champion,
surpassed that record with a similar
exhibition on ninety-two boards.
The most important contest OF the
year in this or any other country was
the masters tournament. played in
this city from April 10 20 May 10, a
contest with eight competitors, includ-
ing Capablanca and the American
champion. Frank J. Marshall. The

BOWLING SEASON
A SCRAPPY AFFAIR

For the first time IN many years
Eastern and Western bowlers complete
ly severed the competitive bonds In
the year now closing. In the West the
American Bowling Congress. by legis-
lation, barred teams from Buffalo and
Pittsburgh and points east while some
~ the Western combinations came 70
this city for the annual tournament Of
the National Bowling Association.
The winners In these tournaments,
therefore, are really Eastern and West
ern. An interesting phase, and proba-
bly, the most important, of the national
organization was the complete triumph
Of the "Simon pure" element as against
those who make q living at tenpins, for
il will be remembered that as yet there
is no dividing line between profes-
donals and amateurs in bowling.
Thus in the tournament az the Grand
Central Palace Thomas j. Scannell, of
the Metropolitan Bowling Club, won
the all around title with 1885; George
Newman, Of New York, took the sin
giles award with 675; Arthur Walter
and Joseph A. Smith, Of Rutherford,
y. j., arc the doubles titIeholders, with
1882, while the Aurania Bowling Club,
Of New York, annexed the fye-man
honors, with 1898. 30 worlds records
were established during the year
In the Western tournament, al
Peoria. H., H. Z. Faltz, Of Chicago,
won the all around with 1876; W. II.
Pierce, Of Pueblo, the singles with I'll;
II. Alden and 2. Allen. of Detroit. the
doubles with 1921, and the Barry Ket-
telers, Of Chicago, the fve-man with

High Standard of Play
Marked Cricket Season

Of Brooklyn, by small fraction, while
T. S. Hall, Of Manhattan. became the
leading league bowler with q record
slightly better than that of Miller, who
was by far the best sll-around player
in the competition.
Bensonhurst won the championship
of the association by defeating Manor
Field in the final game of the season.
It's record was seven victories, one de-
feat and one tie game. r. Comacho,
Of Manor Field, easily won the batting
hOnors with an average of 1857, while
u. b. II. Boyce, Of Bensonhurst, had no
difficulty In annexing the bowling hon
ors with 25 wickets obtained at cost
of s12 runs apiece.
In the death Of William Gilbert
Grace the year 1918 will always re-
main a sad memory 20 cricketers In this
country as we'll as across the water
The worldwide famous cricketer was
the acknowledged king Of cricket and
was the champion for a quarter of
century. His career had been one long
march Of triumph. To say that he was
the greatest ericketer that the world
has seen is but 10 give a Rhostly echo
Of the praise which belongs 10 him.
