"Foss is not the best fielder in the

He has much to learn, especially
about the game as played in the ma

"He has several noticeable fielding

he Is not smiling these days. He sees

The Montgomerys' say that their

that Roger de Montgomerie took ms

liam the Conqueror and accompa-
MED him and led the center OF the
army OF the Conqueror when ne
went into England. As n reward
for his bravery William created him
Earl OF Arundel and Shrewsbury
and gave him manor houses in many
counties. From him the town and
county OF Montgomery in Scotland
are named.
The founder OF one OF the most
prominent families OF the name In
this country was Colonel William
Malcolm Montgomery, who was born
in Aberdeen In 1850. He was a son
OF liberty in the Revolution and
raised a regiment at his own eX-
pense. During the couse OF the
war he was raised to the rank OF

as the girls had no contracts with

- youth. He took great delight
In out-of-door sports, in padding
and swimming the nearby streams,
riding horses, hunting for game
with his gun, and climbing the
neighboring hills nest-footed. His
father was the owner Of large
landed property in Virginia and
the mother was a woman Of rare
culture and refinement. From her
he acquired his fondness for music.
There were eight children in the
jefferson family and they were all
musical. Jeferson's violin was
source Of never-ending delight to
him. He was greatly attached to
his eldest sister who was his con-
slant companion in their musical
hours. She could sing and also
play a number Of instruments
well. The love for his violin re-
mained with jefferson all his life.
The house left by father was
burned TO the ground and his val
liable library disappeared in the
flames. jefferson was absent from
home at the time. A slave came TO
him with the appalling news. But
