$4,000 The Washington club has
been source of worry in American
league circles for two years. The
patronage has amounted to little OF
nothing and there's been some talk
of supplanting the national capita
with Toronto. Those who are in touch
with the inside situation, therefore
are amused by the report that the
Washington stockholders have separ
ated themselves from $4,000. Why
not let up on the gullible public?
All the club owners seem to be in

The great majority Of the major league
ball players devote the off season to
recreation as they see it--for to them
baseball Is work. A great many of
the star ball tossers of the American

Lighter Balls For
New Women's League

The Women's Bowling league at the
~" bowling alley will be in full swing
by the first OF the year as Manager
Tim Sprouse has ordered some lighter
balls made expressly for the women.
The new balls according to Sprouse
will be much lighter than the resula-
ton size only weighing about ten
pounds. The alley has been open for
some time every days but the women
object to the weight OF the balls and
so the league has not been started as
soon as it was first thought possible.

the hours. How it brings back to our
Thoughts and hearts the dear ones, such
as Mrs. Henrietta Lee, Miss Lucy Shep-

loving interest to each and all-it was
their religion.
But old ways have passed away and
all things have become new, so it is veri-
fled in the present age. Plenty of time
on hands and arms and the old time piece
is not needed. Yet there are still many
