his work. Pressed a little as to why
he let Maranville go and replaced him
with Moore, McKechnie said: Moore
is superior to Maranville in every
way except in his hands. Maranville
has a wonderful pair of hands. But
he has nothing. else on Moore"
1t would be odd if the pennant of
1925 should come down to be de-
cided on an issue of a pair of honds.
Suppose by some chance Maranville's
hands should prove enough to make
him Moore's superior as ball player,
and it should happen that these two
players met in a game on which the
issue of the season hung. There
would be something new in base
ball-hands VS.. whole ball player.
But Mckechnie has his courage. He
has staked his chance on the change
he has made and is going through
with il.
Then there is Niehaus at first base,
right handed, as against the left-handed
Grimm, and with nothing like Grimm's
experience as major Lacquer. But he
has youth, courage and knowledge
that he is facing his big chance. Also,
speed is his middle name.
They talk of the four horsemen of
foot ball. but Bill McKechnie says he
has the original four flying buc-
cancers, who can outspeed any four
horsemen that ever mounted a grid
iron steed.
And the outfield is far from slow.
Barnhsrt, the slowest of the five out
fielders, is not here yet. The other
four, Cuyler,' Bigbee. Carey and
Grantham, are skimming back and

MAZERS SOUGHT
by LOVERS
Of ART
Famed Wooden Drinking
Bowls Loomed Large in
Europe's History

Mazers Of old England, the an
Gent drinking bowls of maple wood,
banded with chiseled silver, now
have a high antiquarian value, and
lucky the collector who possesses
one.
Before glass and pottery for
table use became common, plates
were trenchers made of wood mol
lowed out and drinking cups were
also made Of wood.
It was in the thirteenth century
that mazers were first used, and
the few now extant were made OF
the bole of the maple tree cut
across the part where several
branches grew. This showed the
spotted grain so greatly priced and
lis what is now called bird's-eye
maple.
Perhapes the word "mazer" comes
from the Dutch word "maeser,
meaning a knot in the wood. With
out doubt this section was also the
firmest and closest grain OF the
wood, and since these bowls were
used constantly the wearing quail
ties were important.
That, too, was why wealthy folk
soon enriched and enlarged their
bowls by reinforcing the brittle
edges with bands OF silver and sill
yer gilt, and, in a few instances,
Some were entirely lined with
metal, and the quaint and curious
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1925-06-09

inscriptions showing some fancy or
motto Of the owner offer quite a
field for study in themselves.
The lettering on many of the sill
yer bands is in Black Letter or
Lombardic, and some of the words
are interspersed with flowers,
lozenges, animals and fruit, making
the inscription most picturesque.
Even If the dates of these quaint
reminders Of a bygone day were
not known they could be approx
mated quite readily by the spelling,
style of lettering and silver work.
Before this, each man had his
cup of leather which was "the olde
leather bottel." one reads about,
and in the French and English
wars Of the time a French soldier
is reported to have said "These
English soldiers, Sire, drink out cf
their boots"
Some mazers had elaborate and
impressive covers with heavily
carved chased silver work. The lat
ter ones, made in Elizabeth's time,
were strengthened by bands of
silver connecting the rim and foot,
probably because a bad knock
would displace or break the band
ing, and also to give scope for
further ornamentation.
The medallion found in the bot
tom of every mazer is a distinctive
mark though it is not positively
known why 1t was placed there,
unless to cover the marks of the
lathe. There is a great variety Of
medallions. The designs, such as a
knight, king and falcon, rose, boar,
shield and helmet, show the Gothic
influence. Monograms and initials
were common.
Mazers were used during the
time of abbeys and monasteries.
Although maZers have been listed
with church plate and used in
church professions they must not
be confused with the chalice used
on the altar. 1t was during the
reign of Henry VIII that the
mazer, the everyday drinking bowl,
was last in common use.

other fellow how to do it.
And so it transpires that Mar
garet stamps many pretty
foot, futilely commands and
finally retires, red with embar-
rassment and consumed with
rage. The affronted guests file
out, one by one, each with a
pretty exit speech and the fort
is left in command of the rebel
husband and the lily who's been
long removed from the valley.
It was young Sones' idea, you
see, to reclaim. his wife from
her swampy associations, by
giving her dose of her own
medicine. A drastic remedy
and with a sensational climax
that appeases the occasional
stiltedness Of Lonsdale's effort.
It's Kathryn Givney's turn
this week to approach the ros-
trum and accept the bay leaves
for her pretty head. Like a
pinch-quarterback poking the
ball over the line for old Bilge-
water, she hugs the part of the
philosophical street-walker and
sweeps down the field with it in
a great blaze of dust and glory.

The dependable leads, Miss
Lane and Mr.. Watson, have
flashy moments. Watson's role
is not unlike that he so skill

cal cave-man here and certain
to be liked. Mr.. Calender is
effective as a suppressed cad.
1.-THE lowest thing that crawls"
Mr.. Watson calls him, though
the judgement is a little harsh;
for, after all, he but makes
clandestine, though timid, love
to a pretty woman. Young Mr..
Phelps plays unbounded enthu-
siasm; a little too much bur-
lesque Nance, though its try
ing role, for anyone.
And so it goes. Everyone
does nicely-not forgetting the
scenic staff for the second act
set--and at the final curtain
the audience feels it has been
very nicely done by.
This production, as in the
previous three, continues it's
competitive pace against the
touring shows, in every depart
ment. It's fine to be able to
say this of a resident company.

as well as travelling MANAGERS

The sartorial progression Of

lated with Founders and two
honest people and one could
form the conclusion, without
fear of the law, that the better
people dress the higher they
bound. However!
This fourth essay of the
Players finds them over the
fence and out of the field Of
farce into the realm of light
romantic comedy; comedy that
has theme and a mild proper
ton of wit and cracking come
backs. AS a demonstration that
they are all-round handy folk
adaptable to Glowing or more
legitimate levels-they fit per-
fectly into such grooves as are
assigned them.

remedy for obstreperous wives
