It was necessary for Jesus to 60
through SamarIl because His father bad
there an important mission to fulfill.
This mission was he conversion Of a W2-
man. His whole life was absorbed in
this great work as He came to seek
and to save thar which was lost. He
had many a bitter struggle in accom-
plishir Q this end, bur. however, succeed
ed because He knew all men and knew
Just how to handle each subject that He
came in contact with. In our story to-
day we have an exhibition of His skill.
He approached the woman by asking
for a drink of water. This al. ckIy
aroused the prejudice which existed be-
tween the Jews and the Gentiies. JESUS
paid little attention to this however and
immediately began 10 reveal Himself to
her by introducing the Water of Life.
She. at first, misunderstood Him and
was trying 10 impress Him with her reii-
pion. When He drew this COMPARISON
between the natural water anC The Water

Cycle Title Races
Amateur bicyclists of, the District
covered themselves with glory this
year in competition with Baltimore
wheelmen. A team, including Robert
O'Connor, August Nogara and G. E
Peters, outscored Baltimore con-
tingent in a distance race in the
Maryland metropolis last month, and
in match races between teams of the
two cities held here Labor day The
Washingtonians won decisively.
A number of races conducted In
preparation for the District cham
pionships developed SO many good
riders that competition for the titles
was unusually keen. O'Connor ped
aled his way to the senior crown
while the junior championship wa.
annexed by Charles Caussman.
Although polo matches in Potoma,
Park were frequent, competition wa,
of a local character. The War De
partment Polo Association had team:
of this city, Fort Myer and For
Humphreys in the field and minoi
tournaments were conducted TIL,
games were colorful, But the season
lacked the tone of others that were
characterized by contests between
Washington and foreign tours.

politics of the game again is question.
but when he showed his teeth in Chi
cago any opposition the American
League may have had toward meeting
the demands OF Judge Lands vanished.
The feud between Comiskey and john
son dates back many years. Comiskey
became so bitter toward his former
friend and ally that he would not at
tend the meetings of the league. Further
more, he did not hesitate to express his
views on johnson and his policies.
Other members of the league deplored
this situation, but they were powerless
to correct it. Some of them may have
sided with Coniskey in their own hearts
but all of them were with Johnson
when it comes to acknowledgment Of
his leadership.
This base ball politics appears to be
an odd sort OF attachment TO the game,
but it is out of politics that leagues
grow and become important or lose their
| Importance. The fans seem to know
this is a fact as well as the men who

remnants and in the Winter for advan-

Titles Earned
By Local Dogs

Washington has had its share of
winning dogs in the year just past.
The most popular were the German
police or shepherd, Boston terriers,
wire-haired, bull terriers. Airedales,
Pekingese and Pomeranians
The bull terriers of Washington
have held their own with all others
in the United States for 1924. Frank
Leach has made two champions New
coin Tempest and Newcoin Comixit.
Leach has exhibited his dogs at many
shows and has made some record
winnings.
Mrs. Arthur Hyler's Victoria Pa
tricia also made her championship
during the year.
washington has turned out some
of the best Boston terriers in 1924.
Flapper. owned by Mrs. r. C. Birney
of Aspin Hill Kennels, made her
championship this year. beating the
! best of the Northern Boston terriers.
y The hunting dogs in Washington
and vicinity have made a splendid
showing at the field trials.
The Washington Kennel Clubs
show here in January was a howl
ing success. More than 500 dogs

so breeds, were on exhibition. S. j

When he served notice on Rupert,
Navin, Griffith and Shibe that he was
for Judge Lands without compromise"
these men realized that this was q final
stand either for or against Lands,
through johnson, and they quit further
opposition. fearing that there might be
more and even worse complications.
Regains Old Position.
So Comiskey. not seeking to be boss
perhaps, has come back to the authori-
tative position he once held in the
American League. In the late hours of
Wednesday night O. crowd of jubilant,
cheering men left the Congress Hotel
where the conferences were held. 1t was
a bunch Of White Sox fans, who call
themselves the woodland bards,' and
they were going back to the South Side
to celebrate the recrudescehce of the old
leader
AS Comiskey enters upon the scene
again there also enters a dogmatic,
phlegmatic, stubborn hard fighter in st.
Louis, Phil Ball, a man who seemingly
has no fear of human opposition, and
who is as strong in will as the other
principals of this base ball comedy or
melodrama- Ball is as strong for john
son as Comiskey was before he broke
with the American League president,
and Ball says he will not bow to the
commissioner except as the st. LOUIS
club is required to subscribe to the rules
of base ball.
When the signed agreement that
would curb Johnson's powers was de-
manded, Ball refused absolutely to be-
little the president of his league, and by
so doing he made a negative in the
American League as great a. its posi-
| tive. The other American League own
ers recognize that fact. and some are
nightly concerned lest there shall de-
velop an internal quarrel that will
weaken the power of their organization
to make legislation or annul it.
The American L.eaguers have been so
proud of their success, and SO satisfied
with their development in "a years from
| a weakling to a strong organization.

| might happen IL their leader should be

superseded Johnson as a member OF

not care to pit himself against others
and insist on any policy as Johnson did
Firmly Supports Landis.
Meanwhile the star of Comiskey is in
the ascendant again, and he is closely

friend. Whether he will step into the

pionship. Edmonston of the Blue and
White, though, won the breast-stroke
title and Kreuttner of Dewitt took the
diving laurels. Central and Dewitt
teams met twice, with the former
winning each time. Catholic Uni
