Founder of Textile
Industry in America

Spinning as an Industry In America
was born In Pawtucket II. l., Deem
Der 20, 100. when a young English
man, Samuel Slater. completed the
building Of machines from plans he
had carried In his memory to this
country upon hearing that Americans
were Offering prizes for inventions to
improve the textile industry.
He built the machines for one Mo-
ses Brown. who. with his partner. had
mustered an army of hand-loom weav-
ers that at top speed could produce
5000 yards Of cloth In q year. Ameri-
cans had attempted to build machines
modelled after the English type with
out success, but Slater, In less than
a year, had completed a set of ma
chimes that startled everyone by rum
ming successfully at the first trial.
Yankees, even at that early period,
prided themselves upon their ingenu-
ity and inventiveness, but proved
themselves also gam enough not to
resent the young Englishman's sue
cess and came from far and near to
learn to operate Slater's machines and
set up In the new industry for them
selves.-Kansas City Times.

Porters and clerks at Denmark Hin

work to the accompaniment of hymns
sung Justify by q congregation In a
disused waiting room next to. the
booking Office, says the Washington
Star. The Mystical Church OF the

In a room that was once only used by
impatient travellers waiting for their
trains; funeral services are read In IL
and a marriage has been solemnlzed.
This church has been In existence for
about six years.
One end of the former waiting room
has been transformed by an altar
painted white and surrounded by the
seven colors of the rainbow. Seven
steps lead TO the altar. and at the
side are two pillars representing
beauty and strength. Everything is
done by symbols in this remarkable
church and the badge worn by men,
oers Is a dove standing In a circle
with a seven-leafed branch In It's beak.
The leader and founder of the church
was a woman named Mrs. Elizabeth

BOWLING FEVER
SPREADS FAST
Several Teams Being Organ

Under Discussion Here

A bowling team is being organ
lied in Mortified to represent that
city in the proposed Mainland Bow
ling League being sponsored by the
Wil-Kar alleys, now under construc
ton at Ingersoll avenue and Main
street.
Material to choose from Includes
the following bowlers who can give
good account of themselves:
e. Hannum, Engineers Invest.
ment Co.; 7. Young, Press-Union;
Z. F. Kelley, NJ E. Blatts; w. Wei
derwaX, A. G. Gas Co.; Doc Woot-
ton, Engineers Investment; w. Kar-
rer, Abbottmaids.
The local post of the American
Legion is talking bowling, and an
American Legion Bowling League
can be looked for in the near fu-
ture, aions with the Mainland Vol
unteer Fire Co., Bowling League.
Since the announcement by VII
Kar Bowling Enterprises of the
early opening of bowling alleys in
this city, the bowling fever is grow
ing rapidly, and some record break
ing scores can be looked for very
soon.
The Egg Harbor Bulldogs and the
Abbotmaids of Atlantic City have
each won three and lost three
games in a nine-game contest for
a purse Of 500. Egg Harbor de-
feated the Abbottmaids two out Of
three in Atlantic City, and the Alb.
bottmaids reversed the order at
Egg Harbor. The three deciding
games for the purse will be played
at the Wil-Kar Alleys upon the OPP
ening night, which will soon be an

BY NORMAN &. BROWN

Here is the best baseball story
have heard in cons. And the man
who tells it ON himself gets as big
kick out of telling it as those
who hear it.
James Frank, veteran newspaper
publisher, returned, of Jackson,
Mich, is the narrator.
Frank, now white haired but
still stalwart. energetic figure,
was a minor league baseball mag
nate in his younger days around
Michigan. His pet story concerns
Bill Killifer, the man who caught
Grover Alexander for years and
later became manager of the
Chicago Cubs.
Killifer ranks as one of the great
catchers of all times. and one OF
the men partly responsible for
AleXander's greatness.
Frank says:
BILL Killifer was playing bali
on the sandlots-or fields-at Paw
Paw, Mich, when somebody tipped
me off to him. l owned the Kalama-
ZOO. Mich, team then, and gave him
a trial.
HE liked to play ball and was
willing to work. But we couldn't
find out where he fit. We tried him
in the outrleld, as catcher, and in
the infield

team, fine as it is has one draw
back. The team has had a very
weak schedule. The violet has al
ready whipped Niagara. West
Virginia Wesleyan. Alfred, Ford
ham and Rutgers. Not a big league
team among them.
1t is a pity that the Violet gang
cannot get a crack at more of the
really big ones For what if they
do end the season with the bess
record of any team? There will be
millions of disclaimers who will
point to the weak schedule. That's
the bad point of poor sked.
One of the finest players in the
country today is on the yiole,
squad. He is Frank Briante. full
back and last years captain.
Briante will make strong bid for
all-American honors before the
season ends.
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1927-11-04

Sylvania is one of the leading
.contenders Tor the semi-pro title
Of South JERSEY, and has four con
secutive Victories TO its credit thus
far. ,Iaeir victory over MiIlville
Sunday was a creditable event, and
the Atlantic City team has hopes
or repeating here.
On the other hand the Pleasant
Vile eleven has strengthened itself
in several phases Of The game. The
contest with Egg Harbor forced the
locals to use everything they mad
to win, and the experience viii
stand them in good stead tomor-
row.
Despite its defeat at the hands
Of the Olympies, Pleasantyille is
still considered a contender for the
sectional title. After two more
games against other contending
teams, the iocals will meet the

Olympics in December to decide
whether the game two weeks ago
was indicative Of which was the
better team.
Several stiff practice sessions
have been held this week, and with
three games Of the schedule already
disposed Of, it is expected that the
Boys in Green will hit their stride
against Sylvania tomorrow
The backfeld is working well,
although the interference might be
better. On the defensive the team
is hard to beat. several men in par
ticular possessing an unerring in
stinet for smearing up the opposi-
tion's plays.
The crowds attending the local
games are becoming more sizeabIe,
and it is hoped real mob of root
ers will turn out tomorrow to see
the struggle on the Floral avenue
field
