It has provided a system of COM

and sufficiently in advance of exist

demands or national emergencies.
It has made the telephone the
most economical servant of the

It has organized an operating
staff loyal to public interests and
ideals; and by its policy of service
it has won the appreciation and
good will of the people.
With these things in mind, the
Bell System looks forward with
confidence to a future of greater
opportunity and greater achieve

SPORTS Gossip About Events of National importance and the Persons Who Are In the Head
 Liner Classes.

LONDON, July 20. - The facility of the Japanese in turning successful ly to the various forms of highly skilled manufacturers Is illustrated by samples received of their work in making sport requisites. They have made beginning with tennis racquets and footballs. but soon are expected to be able to provide the complete outfit of the golfer, the cricketer and the angler.
 News of the new efforts of the Jap anese in the latter lines Is of especial interest to the English, who have re- garded them as peculiarly their own. AS one newspaper points out, how ever, in reflecting the general view here, nothing calling for ingenuity and subtle craftsmanship seems to be impossible with our eastern ally" In the trade some polite opposition to the new invasion, however, may be dis cerned. Thus one expert points to the fact that football is absolutely a Brit ish game, and that British manufac- turers are able to provide all that is required in the line.
 One dealer in sporting goods waxed enthusiastic over a tennis racquet from Japan at $1.S2, declaring that the value and workmanship were mar vellous. It was the highest prices of the Japanese products, ranging from sixty cents to $1.S2.
 They are going about it just as the Germans did, and their cleverness and cheap labor are fast bringing them to the top" he said. There seems to be nothing they cannot copy, and copy we'll" The same dealer called atten- ton to the fact that the Japanese are getting away from the Japanese touch" or earmark of their goods, pointing out that while formerly one could tell at a glance that thing was Japanese, now the finish is such that 1t might be German, French or that of any other country.

Emslie is now 55, he still ranks among the ablest of the practitioners of the most difficult of professions.
 Emslie was born in Guelph, Ont, and is still a loyal Canadian, having resided of late years in St Thomas. He started his baseball career as a pitcher for the Harrison and Guelph clubs in his native province, and in 1882 he joined the Merritt club, of Camden, N. J.. a famous organization of the Interstate league, the stars of that team later becoming the nucleus of Brooklyn's first big league outfit Emslie landed with the Baltimore club in the old American association in 1883. and for a couple of seasons he was the best curve hurler in the ma jors. In 1885 he went to the Athletics, but his major league career was about over, and in 1886 he was with Toronto. He finished his playing career in 1887, starting the season with Memphis, but he was soon driven from the box, and was given a job as umpire in the old International circuit.
