DICK AND | ARE RICH

Yesterday received a summons to
hear Mr.. Selwin's will read. was
greatly surprised, because l did not
expect that any of it's bequests would
interest me.
l was interested, however. In the
first place, the book concern is a
much bigger affair than had any
idea of. The stock foots over 81 ,000,-
600 and the physical assets show
about $1,25O,000.
Mr.. SelWin remembered all his old
employees with stock bequests, rang
ing from $4,000 to the 100000
worth of stock he gave Dick.
The gift was made in a peculiar
fashion Every year for the next ten
years $4,000 dollars worth of paid
up stock should be turned over to
Dick, beside his salary, which as
manager of the company should be
$4,000 a year.
He is to draw the dividends on the
whole bequest, but the whole of it
is not actually his until the end of ten
years.
Mr.. Selwin gave me the balance
unpaid on my $4,000 worth of stock.
So you see, little book, we are
really rich.
am awfuIy glad this did not hap
pen before l told Dick that l was go
ing to stick to him.
After some very liberal bequests to
charity, Mr.. Selwin left his remain
ing estate to his wife, and requested
that Dick and the auditor of the book
concern, to whom he left $4,000
worth of stock, should be executors
of the estate. Dick must have shown
himself a better business man than 1
had any idea he was. 1t makes me
rather wabbly to think of all the re-
sponsibility that he will have.
l stole a glance at him as the will
was read and it seemed to me that in
the ten minutes he grew ten years
The day book., 1916-02-11

the Will was read, but he went lmme-
diately over and took both Mrs. Sell
wins hands in his-looked into her
tear filled eyes moment and then
bent forward and tenderly kissed her.
HE was the best and truest friend
young man ever had. All am or
will be l owe to him." he said with
great feeling.
l added: Dear Mrs. Selwin, will
you just take Aunt Mary's place and
think as she did that you are to be
the one we love best?"
81 could not think that, DEAR" she
answered as Richard has his own
mother and sister
But l have no one l said; mo
one who has any more claim on me
than you will have. You have been
more to me than Mr.. Selwin was to
Dick, for you and Aunt Mary have
shown me that old age can be beau
tiful as well as generous to those who
are younger. You have robbed the
future, when l too shall be old, of
its dread"
''Will you stay in this house alone
Mrs. Selwin?" asked the lawyer.
She looked up in surprise. why,
of course SHALL" was her answer.
when one reached the age where
one must find ones self living in the
halls of memory one can not give up
readily the places where those mem
ories were made"
1 could not help experiencing a lit
tie relief as l was afraid Mrs.
Selwin would want to live with US,
and, although 1 would love to have
her, did not want her-at least at
this time-to know how it is with
Dick and me-
"How is it?" you ask, little book.
l must still answer, don't know.

COLUMBIA MAY PUT BAN ON ROWING DUE
 ID POOR SHOWING
Authorities Will Probably Decide to Abolish Sport as Intercollegiate
 Affair

New York, July 13.-Rowing as an inter- collegiate sport probably will be aban- boned at Columbia university in the near future. Official announcement to that effect is expected within the next few days and the resignation of the university from the Intercollegiate Rowing associa- tion probably will follow. This action on the part of one of the three institutions which became charter members of the h. tercollegiate Rowing association in 1895 has been expected by close followers of rowing at Columbia since the poor show ing of the local university crews at June F.
 No formal decision has yet been rem dered by the university committee on athletics, but it is understood that ma jority of the members are in favor of such a step. Coach Jim Rice and the of the rowing committees have had great difficulty in recent years in obtaining a sufficient number of crew candidates. Rice is known to have com municated with Cornell rowing men re- gently with view to succeeding Charles Courtney as coach at the Ithaca uni versity.
 Columbia crews have competed in every regatta since 1895 and won twice.

WOODLAND REFUSED ACTIVE MEMBERSHIP IN NATIONAL BODY
Club Which Supported Ouimet, Sullivan and Tewkesbury Denied
 Admission

Boston, July 13.-It was learned to- day that the Woodland Golf club of Newton, which supported it's members, Paul Tewkesbury, who were declared in eligible to amateur standing by the United States Golf association, has been refused active membership in the na- tiona1 body
 The club has held an associate mem bership in the national association and applied recently for active member ship.
 Formal notification of the national body's action has been served upon the club officials. but no reason for it has been given. it is understood. Officials would make no statement other than to say that the directors would con- sder the subject soon.
 Ointment, Sullivan and Tewesbury were declared by the United States Golf association several months ago to have lost their amateur standing because of their business connections. Ouimet and Sullivan are 'proprietors of sporting goods house and TewkeSbury is sales man of such goods.
 Sullivan and Tewkesbury have been allowed to compete as amateurs at sev- eral open tournaments, especially those of their own club. and the State Golf association has kept them on it's anna teur list.
 Last week the executive committee of the national body issued an an- that any club which per mitted a disbarred member to play in an open tournament would be liable to be stricken from membership in the United States Golf association. In view of the fact that Tewkesbury was en- tered in the Woodland clubs open tour nament which began today, golfers here have awaited with interest probable ac- tion by the national body.

Rv q. T. FLOURNOY

Mobile, July 13.-(Special.) )-MobiIe of baseball here this afternoon for the first time since Sunday. The BarOns won easily. 2 to o. due to the good pitching of Key Perryman. Two hits were secured off his delivery, one of them being a scratch hit by Burke that he beat out from third base; the other was a double by Cavet. Only one mnu reached second base in the eight in- nings of play. The game was stopped at the beginning of the ninth on sc- count of rain. The seventh and eighth Innings were played in the downpour. The BarOns gave their pitcher great support, COOmbs and Eschen making several brilliant catches. Cavet, after the first inning, pitched great ball, and only two Baron players reached tue keystone after this inning. COombs was cut off at the plate in the sixth inning trying to score from second on a single.
 Clark and Perryman figured in a bril- liant play in the second inning. Clark stopped a ground ball hit by McDowell
 
 to Perryman. who had made a great run from the box to the bag. Big Per- ryman was in great form and at no time was he in danger. striking out Massey. one of the heaviest hitters of the team, twice.
 Manager Schmidt covered first base today for the Gulls owing to the in- jury of Harry Swacina.
 ONLY SCORING IN FIRST
 The only scoring of the game was done in the first inning. After Eschen went out on close decision from third to first, Mcdonald was walked. On the hit and run play he went to second, but Meusel was caught at first Coombs, who is the clean up hitter in the visi- tors lineup. came through with a long single to right. Mcdonald went to third and scored when Dempsey threw wild to second to get Coombs Clark singled to second and Coombs scored from behind by some fast running. Derrick hit a hot one to Cavet that almost knocked him down and Clark took second. Smith ended the inning by flying out to Me- DoweH in left.
 It was a case of three up and three down with Mobile. except in the fourth ana SlxIn innings. In the SlXth, With one down, old Pug" Cavet shot a dou- ble to right center, but died at sec ond as Massey struck out and Holley was an easy out from Mcdonald to Derrick. Mcdonald was in the game all the time today and his constant coaching of Perryman kept interest in the game that was play ed before a crowd of less than 200 people, and un- der lowering clouds and in a rain.
 Each team is credited with an error, but the pebble of the visitors was not costly. Perryman let Schmidt's ground CT get away from him in the second in ming. while Dempseys bad throw in the first frame proved costly.
 It will be noted from the official score that Eschen is credited with three put outs. Every one of them was the hardest kind of catches and he robbed the batters out of safe hits.
 Manager Molesworth announced to- night that Black and Smith would work for the Birmingham team tomor- row, and Manager Schmidt will use Led better, and Dempsey will catch if Ewacina is not in the game.
