There is d very pleasant fell
1owship which obtains between
people Of the sports armament

world. Stage stars innumera-
BILE are enthusiasts over base
ball, boxing, golf, and other
forms Of athletic diversion. No
out-ahd-out amusement claims
more devotees Of the profess
sional sports world than does
the theater.
The De Wolf Hoppers and
the Babe Ruths seem to be

ests are parallel-off stage
they are found together.

clans which Is to eliminate at
the National Theater next Mon
day night in q monster me-
mortal to the memory Of the.
late William Fowler, who was
at once of both worlds Of which
we speak.
Although Billy Fowler, as all
of us and he preferred, gave his
latter days to the more artis-
tic of his two fields, he was
for years a figure hereabouts
in baseball-the days Of Can
tiIlon and McAleer and the
earlier regime of Griffith.
AS an official of the Wash
ington club, Billy cemented a
host of friendships which he
kept green in the years when
his immediate interests shifted
to the theater. Few men of
Washington were personally
known to q wider range of PEG.
ple-few were as well liked.
These are only a few of the
reasons why we expect to min
gle with q notable gathering
of Washingtonians next Mon
day evening when Mr.. Otis
Skinner, through the courtesy
of Mr.. w. H. Rapley and Mr..
Charles Frohman, dedicates the
initial performance Of his
greatest dramatic success, "The
Honor Of the Family" to the
memory Of Billy Fowler, a Ma
tiona1 figure in sports and
drama for over a quarter Of a
century.
AS far away as ST. Louis
where most baseball men We're
attending the world series at
the hour of Billy Fowler's GO
ing, we heard his life and char
acter extolled. Going back to
New York, the heart Of the his
trionic universe, where a world
series still hung in the balance,
other testimonials Of the mark
he had left, were voiced.
It is fitting that an oppor-
tunity is offered admirers Of
this splendid man to show an
appreciation Of their contact
with him.

day is regarded as the hard luck
outfit of the District League, follow
ing it's meeting with Curb Cafe
which took two games. Curb Cafe
rolled three scores above 500 for a
set of 1908.
That made six consecutive games
in the 800 class that Convention
Hall bucked, only one Of which it
won. This was the second against
Curb Cafe which Convention Hall
captured with score Of GAS to 6O4.
Previous to these sets, the Con-
vention Hall bowlers, who are the
Joseph Phillips Company team in
the National Capital League, ran
into two games better than 500
rolled by the Jerry Stars. Thus,
out of nine games in a row,
the Convention Hall-Joseph Phil
lips sharpshooters drew enemy
S>ores above 600.
And that isn't all, Earl Nc
PhiIOmy, of Stanford Paper
Company, picked Convention
Hall as the victim Of the

palgn and against the same
quint Stanford Paper Company
hung up the high game. 662.
Moreover, Convention Hall was
victimized by the King Pins when
they set their marvellous record OF
1877.
The moral seems to be: If you
would break duckpin record, roi
against Convention Hall.
Stanford Paper Company has had
one teams full share of hard luck
It lost Earl McPAilomy, it's biz
gun, through illness, and MAJ
Rosenberg, another leading star, re

last game, it was obvious that moth

would put his team over the much
desired mark. So Joe got himsel

business. The team scores wer

Good cows are the foundation of

to get even good cows to produce

First, they must be made comfort
able, or happy, if that term may be
used. Cows left outdoors on FROST
ty night are never happy coming in
the morning. If they are out doors
in a cold rain during the day, or if
they come in with snow on their backs
you may be sure they feel wretched
and their milk flow will be down
from fourth to a half and it may
take months of extra feed and care
to get them up to normal production
again.
When you weigh the milk night
and morning from each cow you see
these things and especially if you
are working to get every pound of
milk from the cows they are capable
of producing.
Again, cows are not comfortable or
happy chasing around bare pasture
in the late fall for something to eat.
We found it pays to take the cows
off the pasture early if the grass is

LINCOLN'S VISION OF HIS FU-
TURE.

From abraham Lincoln, an Auto
biography" by N. w. Stephenson.
Extracts from letter written by Lin
coin, Nov. Z, 1860: 'It was just after
my election when the news had been
coming in thick and fast all day and
there had been great 'hurrah boys,
so that I was well tired out and went
home to rest, throwing myself down
on a lounge in my chamber. Opposite
where l lay was bureau with a
swinging glass upon it, and looking
in that glass l saw myself reflected
almost at full length; but my face, l
noticed, had two seperate and distinct
images, the tip of the nose of one be-
ing about three inches from the tip
of the other.
"When / went home again that
night, l told my wife about it, and a
few days afterward / made the ex-
pertinent again, when, sure enough,
the thing came back again; but never
succeeded in bringing the ghost back
after that, though | tried very indus
triously to show it to my wife, who
was somewhat worried about it. She
though it was a sign that / was to
be elected to second term of office,
and that the paleness of one of the
faces was an omen that | should not
see life through the last term"
81 was little bothered, perhaps
startled, and got up and looked in
the glass, but the illusion vanished.
On lying down again, | saw it sec
ond time, palmer, if possible, than be-
fore; and then l noticed that one of
the faces was little paler-say, five
shades-than the other. got up,
and the thing melted away, and
went off and in the excitement of the
hour forgot about it-nearly, but not
quite, for the thing would once in a
while come up and gave me a little
pang as if something uncomfortable
had happened.
