a good stove league should be. l
hope that we are flooded with the

tell what they think OF, how improve
ments can be made. not only in the
National Baseball Club. but among
the promoters OF the city.

Stove League Editor
Washington Herald-It was with
great pleasure that I read your ar
ticle in The Washington Herald of
this date. advocating the forming of
stove league in Washington. This
is a good thing. and not only will help
the ball team of Washington. but will
afford many OF us who are baseball
crazy to relieve our feelings: also it
will, as stated in this mornings pa
per. give the members a chance to
name some of their likables who have
shown talent in the baseball world.
Though the stove league has been
more or less of a myth in the past.

Approves Of the Change.
Sporting Editor.
Washington Herald.
Dear Sir: No better stem could have
been taken than a change of admin
istration in the affairs of the WASH
ington Baseball Club. With oil due
respect to the retiring directors for
their efforts to bring p pennant to the
Capital. the injection of new blood into
the management. particularly the en-
trance Of William NJ. Richa -dson and
Edward B. Eynon. jr.. should mean
success within the next two or three
years.
I had the pleasure of being asso-
ciated with Mr.. Eynon when he was
financial manager of the enrolment
in the recent Red Cross drive for
memberships and when he stated in
The Herald this morning. AS I know
OF several improvements that can be
introduced into the business and l am
going to get busy on that end" the
fans can rest assured that he will
carry out his plans to the letter.
Mr.. Richardson not only made n
wise but popular move when he
placed the management of the team I'm
Clark Griffith's hands with no reserva-
tions.
Fraternally yours,
T. EDWARD MURTAUGH,
Director of Publicity. American

ton oil was poison. In fact Moore
seems to have given Hirdman the

keen i'll but . few days Of complica-
tons incident to his advanced age,
being almost IS when the end came.
The death Of Mr.. Mcdowell closes
. long and interesting life. life that
was full Of stirring events and hard
ships which fall to the lot Of those Of
early days who choose to follow the
wilderness and help to make it .
land for the inhabitant Of future gen.
erations. He was born ut Syracuse,
". Y. on July 25, 1884. On May "a,
1857 he was married 20 Miss mary K.
Spencer at Portage, Wisconsin, and
from there the family moved to vari-
Gus states, going first to Minnesota in
1860 and to Iowa in 1870. where they
resided but one year, moving to Ne
braska in 1871, then to Kansas and
finally to Colorado in 1889, settling
at first in Arapahoe county. In 1897
they came to Gunnison county where
they have since resided, living for
considerable time at Doyleville, NOV
ing to Gunnison few years ago.
Mr.. Mcdowell was the father Of six
children, of whom all but one are
living. Little Flora died when but an
infant. Those surviving him are Mrs.

General Sibley. He was keenly in
terested in any Of the events Of the
day and followed closely the newspa-
per accounts Of the great war, in
which fourteen of his descendants
served, and Of which he was never
tired Of telling. Last November when
the news Of peace came and the town
turned out to celebrate, the old gen.
leman, despite his advanced years,
took rs active part rs any Of the
citizens. He was much given to
writing poetry, many Of his articles
being published in various newspapers
from time to time.
Funeral services were first held
from the home Of his daughter, Mrs.
Leonard, with whom he made his
home during his declining years.
The I. o. o. F., Of which he was a
member for 20 years, the G. A. r.
and the Relief Corps had charge Of
the services at the Community church
where the body was taken. Rev.

which brought comfort to those who
are left to mourn. Interment was
made in the local cemetery by the side
Of his wife, Undertaken Adams hav-
ing charge Of the arrangements. A
large concourse Of friends followed
the casket to its last resting place.
Sincere sympathy is extended to
the bereaved relatives.

teen yeaSs Of age. 0ooa aftor that
time he went to Salida and later to
Denver, where h spent some time,
finally going to Walsenburg, Colo,
where his brother, Chauncey is To-
Gated. While there, George held Q
splendid position with the Rio Crande
railroad Office. When the war start
ed and the country called for young
men to do their bit," George and his

Gunnison friends regret very much
to hear that one whom they knew SO

called to the Great Beyond SO early in
life. He was but SO years of age,
with life just unfolding before him,
and with the promise Of q bright fu-
ture. Like many more Of our splen-

the cause Of Democracy and his mem
ory will ever be cherished by those
who knew him as well ~ those IA
