Bowman To Come Back
BY ESTELLE BOND

Cutt1ngSville, Vt., Feb. 20-UPO- Sixty years have elapsed since me- lancholy John Bowman died.
 Yet his gingerbread-style mansion in this snowbound village is faith fully kept ready for him in case he keeps his deathbed promise "Ill Be Back"
 The clock on the mantle-piece still ticks off the hours. Windows gleam in spotless brilliance. Scarce ly a speck of dust can be found in the many-roomed house. Lovely old Victorian furniture, polished to a satin finish, invites repost. There's food in the pantry. The drives and walks are cleared of snow John Bowman could walk right in today and begin again the life he left in 1886.
 Born farm boy at humble Pierces corner, six miles from here, in 1920, Bowman worked his way up in the best Horatio Alger tradi- tion to become a wealthy tannery operator in Stony Creek, N. Y.
 At 40 he wed wife who bore him two daughters and, having enough of wealth, came here and built the elaborate home that still stands.
 But misfortune shattered his dream of pastoral retirement. In quick succession his daughters and wife were taken by death. From that day forth, neighbors testified John Bowman never smiled again.
 He sold his tannery and pur- chased the acres opposite his home here.
 On this land he created what is now beautiful Laurel Glen ceme- tery. He organized an association to supervise the property perma- nently and endowed 1t with a $6O," 900 trust fund.
 Within the plot he built an elab- crate mausoleum. A life-size statue of Bowman on pended knee with a wreath In his hand was placed be- fore the entrance of the tomb.
 During the ensuing five years Bowman pined away and finally took to his bed. One day he seemed to brighten a little. He ordered that his clothes be brought and then on the arm of male nurse toured the house. Lovingly he looked at the high-ceilinged rooms, the old furniture, the pictures of his wife and children. At the foot of the stairs he stopped and said:
 "Ill soon be leaving for little while, but I'll be coming back"
 The nurse carried him to his bed and minutes later he was dead.
 It was Asa Mairs, one of the cemetery trustees, who began the task of keeping the house ready for John Bowman. Then another, Samuel s. Smith, took over the task. But for the past 35 years the duties have been faithfully per- formed by George N. Jones, Now 80.
 Several times, Jones said, he'd had to discourage visits of persons claiming they were the reincarna- ton of John Bowman. But never once has he neglected his work of keeping Bowman's house open.
 "Everything's ready if he comes back" said Jones, but for one don't expect him."

CHICAGO, Dec. 11.-Washington' s
night baseball fans are in for gobs
of it again in 1916, unless the major
leagues in session here today vote re-
strictions-and Clark Griffith, presi-
dent of the Mats, seems convinced
they would not.
The program presented yesterday
calls for 80 of the Mats home games
to be played under the lights with
no Saturday, Sunday or holiday en-
gagements SO scheduled. The night
tits would get under way around
May 10 and presumably continue
into the cool evenings of September.
But there would be none of those
atrocious twilight-night double
headers that so thickly studded the
l945 schedule, unless some become
necessary to play off postpone
ments. And there is fair chance
that the number of Sunday after
noon twin bills in Washington will
be reduced.
Virtually unlimited night baseball
for Washington and the two st. Louis
clubs at home was subject to the
action of the leagues in separate
meetings today. However, represent
atives of clubs other than Washing
tons and the two in ST. Louis strong
ly limited there would be little or no
opposition to the night program.
Points to Condition Here,

valiantly alongside the agents of
the Browns and the Cardinals in the

gain his point.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-THE un-
official highlight of the opening OF
the major league sessions was the
sale by Cincinnati of veteran First
Baseman Frank Buc) Mccormick to
the Phillies for a reported 100000
in cash and one player to be named
later.
Thus the Phils, last in the 1915
National circuit race, have done the
only real bartering of the minor
major sessions. At Columbus, the
Phils obtained Pitcher Johnny Hum
phries from the Chicago White Sox.
Mccormick, 80, most valuable Ma
tional League player in 1910, is q
veteran of eight full seasons at Gin
sinnati with a lifetime big league
batting mark of just under 300.
The majors approved the boost OF
the International League, American
Association and Pacific Coast League

League to "a" Thus the top minor

based their arguments solely on the
fact that night baseball has drawn
far better than daytime play in
their city. Griffith pointed out that
while wartime work conditions in
other cities have ended, they still
exist to a great extent in Washing
ton. He pointed out that this year
the Mats drew to their night games
37l,747 of their 652,660 cash Gus
toners.
That more than the plea to pre-
serve the game for the many who
could not turn out for baseball in
daytime probably clinched the ar
gument for Griffith.
Other than the night baseball
matter, nothing much was accom-
plished by the Mats representatives
here.
The one man the Mats have for
swinging any kind of deal here
appears to be George Case, crack
outfielder and base thief. And
neither Griffith nor Manager Bluege
is quite ready to part with Case
unless something that looks quite
beneficial to the Mats is obtained
in exchange.
Griffs Eyeing Lake.
Most likely of success among the
propositions advanced comes from
the Boston Red Sox. They have
said they would give Eddie Lake, a
275 hitting shortstop with a strong
arm and plenty of foot, as well as
Leon Culberson or Tommy Mcbride
both fair hitting and strong fielding

With the Mats casting about for
short-field replacement, they
might go farther and fare worse.
