BASEBALL.

Well there's your fOur-club league
with Manitowoc in third place. If we
had beaten the Sox on our home
ground what we should haze done We
would be tied for second place and only
one game behind the Sheboygan as it
may seem McGlynn was present but
he wasn't there. The locals had
the game all packed up ready to tote
away by a score of 6 to , in the 9th in
ming. Then sad things happened to
Stoney. When the 9th began it was
6 all. With bases filled and no one out
the iron man struck out two batsmen.
Then two hits Melted four runs and for
practical purposes the game was over
Stoney wasn't all to blame. With
Ia year old amateur support behind
him he could have won.
Reuther played his usual good game
and Sohr Two Rivers recruit per-
formed brilliantly. There was very
small attendance and it may result in
local games being transferred.

Skatinu is Old Pastime.

Skating, the origin of which Is lost
In antiquity, was mentioned by Dan
ish historian IN 1874, aud English au-
thOrtirs state that in Lincolnshire
there was skating even before the
twelfth century, the custom having
been introduced there from Holland.
The ESkmos used bone skates when
they were first discovered by the
whites, and probably had done 80 for
centuries.

EX-OFFICERS ORGANIZE AID

Last week former officers of the local
National Guard company met at the
home of Judge Baensch and organized
y Co. II Relief Association.
The object is organized relief for the
| families Of men who have gone to the
border with the local company. TIE
organization issued the following ap
peal
To the People Manitowoc:
The law allows neither federal nor
state officials.to aid the dependent fam
lilies of our soldiers on the border. 1t
points to the city poor fund as the on
ly statutory source of help, and circum-
stances have already forced several APP
pications to be filed. This condition
looks very much like adding insult to
injury. To avoid this other cities that
have home companies at the front are
raising a fund to be used for the bene-
fit OF the soldiers and their families.
We believe you are anxious to do like
wise
Therefore the undersigned, being all
the former officers OF Compony Fl now
residing in the city, have organized the
Company H Relief association to take
this matter in hand. We appeal to
the patriotism and generosity of every
resident of this city for such financial
aid as he or she may feel able to give.
The East Wisconsin Trustee Co. has Of
fered its services gratis as custodian of
the fund, and we have agreed to see to
it's just and proper disbursement. Do
nations may be paid to any of us, or
deposited directly with the trustee
company. The boys of Company II
have volunteered to do military duty
for u.s. let us volunteer to do our duty
toward them.

Chorrera.

Much of the interior of Panama
loses that effect Of tropical jungle
which one associates with the name.
On the south coast especially the seen
cry is in places rugged. There are nu-
merous rivers from which power can
be obtained, and in fact it has been
determined that from such beautiful
falls as those of Chorrera sufficient
power is available to operate the CON
tiguous portion of the new system OF
interior railways.

Daytime Sleep.

The woman who can drop asleep
quickly, for few minutes nap in the
daytime Is really blessed. If such a
little sicsta that "knits up the raveled
sleeve of care, can be managed It's re-
freshmcnt is wonderful. TO darken
the room is the first nd to slumber
If this Is ont of the question for any
reason, or If the nap is taken out Of
doors, dark scarf tied lightly over
the eyes has the needed effect.

Agement Of Lucius Pryor,
In Europe grand opera IL considered
necessity, and few cities OF 1900 OF more
Inhabitants are without It. In America
Il Is considered a luxury. That the must
cal life OF America will grow eventually
10 the strength and Importance attained
for musical arts in Europe is the belief
OF the best authorities and the hope Of
many musicians and music-lovers. The
last few years have seen a decided rise
in musical taste in general in this coun-
try. and every influence OF that tendency
must be regarded as educational
The value OF such offerings as the pres
ent one is cumulative. Each visit Of an
organisation or this sort stimulates the
musical appetite OF tho community and
prepares It for a longer visit year later
and Chicago.
The musical public Of these cities. up to
a few years ago. were satisfied with an
occasional visit Of the Metropolitan Opera
company for few performances. or some
. lesser organization for n week or two.
Those engagements were Increased I'm
, length each year until the leading musi-
cal lights of those cities were no longer
satisfied with the uncertain time for
which the greater aggregations might bo
spared them or the occasional appear
Rnces OF other companies. Now where
; once the annual series OF grand opera
performances rarely endured for more
than a week or two the opera-going pub
lie support a season OF from ten Ia
twenty weeks duration
Boston was the first TO follow New
York in the establishment OF its own per
mRnent opera company in the magnificent
new Boston opera house six years ago
The Huo City demonstrated its ability
and inclination TO maintain such an insti.
tuition on high artistic plane for five
years, and even established the unique
record OF sending its own opera company

created by the European war forced it tC
