Right merriIy the baseball writers
are hunting for Roger Bresnahan in
an effort to sell him the Denver club
of the Western league or any other
franchise that happens to be in need
of an owner.
Roger is attending strictly TO bust
ness, so far as can be learned, and is
not discussing his affairs in the news
papers. One thing is certain, he will
not go to Denver, even though Char
ley Thomas should purchase that
club.
Another local report has it that
Roger must have excellent backing
to purchase the Cleveland club, the
franchise of which is held at $780,
900. Now, the franchise of the Cleve-
land club isn't valued at any such
sum. When John Camel appeared
with his coin the other day he could
have made the purchase at $4,000, if
side issues hadn't crept in. But these
side issues had nothing to do with the
value of the team.
Manager Joe Tinker has signed
Harvey Russell, catcher, for the Cubs,
and says he is through annexing ath-
letes. Russell was with the Baltimore
Feds in 1915 and is highly touted by
Mike Doolan. Tinker now has four
catchers and it is probable one will
go before the beginning of the sea-
son.
Two southpaw pitchers are also
slated for release, according to pres
ent plans, but Joe may have to keep
three of the four men under contract.
Vaughn, Pierce, Bailey and Packard
are the candidates. Packard is sure
to be retained. Vaughn is also COM
paratively sure of his job. Bailey did
some fine work for the Chifeds dur
ing the flag end of 1915. That makes
it appear that Pierce will depart.
Bailey will be the second to go in
case only two portsiders are retained.

HELP THE EGYPTIAN WOMEN
Wonderful Work in the Country
of the Pharaohs.

For the girls of Egypt the schools
open the door into wider and brigh-
ter world. But this is not possible
for the women in the homes; hence
the gospel message must be brought
to them. And this is being done by
the lady missionaries, married and I'M
married. and by the more than fifty
Egyptian and Syrian Bible women UNI
der their direction, who go from house
to house, teach the women to read the
gospel, give a simple message suited
to the understanding of the women,
or conduct simple prayer meetings,
| and in every way possible try to reach
their hearts with the message of sal
walton. The wives of the Egyptian
pastors, and the teachers in the girls
schools. are also doing a good work
for the women in the various congre-
cations. The doctors and nurses in
the hospitals of the mission are doing
much to alleviate the physical suffer
ings of the women and at the same
time instruct them in the Bible. Week
ly prayer meetings and monthly mis-
sionary meetings furnish instruction
and training in Christian work for the
women of the church, In these vari-
Gus ways faithful effort is being made
for the salvation and uplift of the
women of Egypt.-Rev. C. C. Adams.
