The SPORTING WORLD

A Famous Tennis Player. America's greatest woman tennis player, Miss May Sutton of Pasadena, Cal., Is home in this country from England after a vain attempt to successfully defend the title as champion of

MAY SUTTON.

England. Miss Sutton was defeated in the challenge round by Miss D. K. Douglass. Miss Button returned to play in several tournaments in the east aud middle west. Miss Button did not sceui to feel discouraged over her lost championship abroad. “Although 1 was defeated," she said, “there are several reasons why the defeat does not worry me. One is that 1 played against a wonderfully fust opponent, and another is that my own play was far below my usual average." The New National Bowling Body. Successful steps which have l>een taken to organize h new bowling association In the east are likely to receive every* encouragement from western bowlers, who are conservative enough to say that a successful tournament in the east uext winter will belli the sport generally, aud in a letter just received from one of the most prominent bowlers in Rt. Louis he says that many entries will be received from ids section. This will be a surprise to eustern bowlers, as the American Bowling congress, the parent body of national organizations, has scheduled its annual tournament for St. Louis next February. He also says that if the new eastern organization meets them halfway the officers of the A. B. C. will give the eastern tournament every encouragement.

As the writer of this letter evidently “speaks by the card,” his letter is interesting. He says: “We of the west are pleased to hear that eastern bowlers have started something and more so that you have been successful in getting live ones to handle tbe affairs of the new organization, and we sincerely hope they will legislate for the good of the game rather thau to renew a sectional tight, which cannot do otherwise thau injure bowling. As a former official of the American Bowling congress and as one still loyal to that organization, I say with others that this country Is large enough and that there are enough good bowlers anxious to meet in competition to make two or three aunual tournaments a big success.” Stevenson Is Barred. As a result of tbe publicity given the reinstatement of Vincent Stevenson of Washington, the star quarterliaek of the University of Pennsylvania, the faculty of the university lias decided to place him on the black list for another season. Stevenson is eligible to re-enter the universtity, but tbe faculty desires to reduce the prominence given athletics at that institution aud has taken this method. If the disbarment holds good through this season it will lie a hard blow to the team's cbaui'es this year, as Stevenson is the backbone of the football team, and he had been counted qpon as an important factor against the Wolverenes In the gume between Fenn and Michigan this year. Tnrfn "Grand Old Man." Ed Geers at seventy continues to be the star driver on the grand circuit. Recently he won three races In one day, whose total value was $13,000, and so frequent has been his success that bettors hesitate to put money against horses when he holds tbe reins. It has been the custom to call golf the okl man's game, but Geers’ record indicates that the peaceful diversion of piloting blooded horses through furious finishes is much less taxing than tbe Intense excitement of tbe game of the links. Womaa’a Boat Won. The Jewel, owned by Mrs. E. S. Burke of Cleveland, 0., with a handicap of nineteen minutes, won the liandicap motor boat race at Frontenac, N, Y„ recently and secured the first logon the Commodore’s cup. presented to the Frontenac Yacht club by C. G. Emery of New York. The winner's time for twenty-one miles was (id minutes 43 seconds. The best time was by the Vingt-et-Un 111., which covered the course in 50 minutes 3 seconds. A Fireman-Ball Player. The Milwaukee club has signed a

new twirler, Leo Sage, who for the last four years has been working on the railroad as a fireman, running out of Fond du Lac. Care of Fall Litters. An old saying tiiat properly applies to the growing of live stock is, “Well begun is half done.” So it is important that fall litters be well nourished from the beginning. As long ns the weather remains fine allow the sow a run on pasture with her young. This will keep the pigs in good condition nod there will be no danger from thumps, which sometimes gives trouble when they are kept in confinement. Lot Shoop Eat Plenty. A sheep will consume more for its weight than a cow, and it should. It has to raise a crop of wool, a crop of lambs and provide for itself at the same time. Don’t compel It to feed a lot of ticks also. If you raise enough of fodder corn this year, it will be better for your sheep than grain and cost much less. Ration and Cow. - The dairy ration should be palatable. It should be nutritious. It should be digestible, abundant and as inexpensive as possible after the other essentials are secured. But we should never lose sight of the fact that no ration is ever good enough or cheap enough to coax a profit out of a worthless cow. Sort the Hops Into Sizes. Is that poor economy in hog feeding that was practiced last year aud the year before being repeated again this season—that Is, to feed hogs of different sizes together? It Is much better to sort them Into two, sizes at least. The reason for this is obvious. Shoop on the Farm, A woods lot near the home or a small well fenced pasture In Bight of tbe house Is the ideal place for a bunch of farm sheep. Here they stay until nllowed to forage upon some patch or stray stack. Here they will give rich returns. » . Water the Fowls. Always have plenty of good water for the poultry. Fowls suffer more for the want of water than feed,' but can go a long time without either and llva. The Middle Boy. I'm only just the middle boy, So all last year I wore Delancey's clothes. Most ev’ry toy I had was his before. But I’m “so hard on ev'rything!” (That's what my fam'ly say.) Right from* the shops they have to bring New cUtthes for Richard Gray, Delancey always says, “Why, Jim, I wouldn't care one bit!" You'd think they'd be just fun for him. Old clothes that don't quite fit. But father talks a diff'reiit way. “Not very long ago I was a middle boy,” he’ll say. "You hurry up and- grow!" —Youth's Cdßipanloa.

SHIP SUBSIDY SCHEME.

railaer of the Arcaaeati Set Foeth la Ita Favor. In a public document entitled “hearings before the committee on merchant marine and fisheries of the house of representatives on senate bill 529- 1 the shipping bill of the merchant marine commission—April 4 to April 19, 1906,” there is a report favoring that bill by Admiral Dewey, president of the general board, navy department, dated Washington, Nov. 23, 1905, which shows the attitude of that department toward the ship subsidy scheme. The report says: “In case of operations of a large nature over seas, the needs of the army would be great, and the existence of a large fleet of American owned vessels available at once for conversion into transports or supply ships would be of great importance in expediting the departure of troops and in supplying them after departure:” And again the report says: “Another benefit which would accrue to the navy from a large fleet of American owned merchant vessels would He in the large number of experienced seagoing men, engineers aud firemen accustomed to marine engines and boilers, who would form a valuable reserve from which to draw the mtn for manning the auxiliaries.” Mr. Schwab could hardly have made a better plea for the use of the products of the steel trust, or Mr. Baer for the coal trust, or Mr. Du Pont for the powder trust. The secretary of war, Mr. Taft, also submitted a reporj, flo the committee, which will be found in the same volume. He pleaded for a merchant marine, “which will permit the United States to put forth its entire military strength at any distance and In any direction.” This is exactly in line with the idea of the navy department and was undoubtedly Inspired by the president, who, in his message to congress, Dec. 5, 1905, said: “To the spread of our trade In peace and the defense of our flag in war a great and prosperous merchant marine is indispensable. We should have ships of our own and seamen of oar own to convey our goods to neutral markets and in case of need to re-enforce our battle line. It cannot but be a great source of regret and uneasiness to us that the lines of communication with our sister republics of South America should be chiefly under foreign control.” Our “battle line” and “our sister republics of South America,” Santo Domingo and Venezuela especially, are always In the minds of all die members of the present administration. Foreign conquest leans on ship subsidies and on grafting contracts with the producers of steel, coal, powder and beef. It Is only a means of reconciling the people who pay these subsidies and extortionate prices to the grafting process upon the false notion that it is glorious to subdue and exploit weak nations. Experience shows that, except for use as transports, merchant vessels are worthless in war, for the much faster torpedo boats have superseded the fastest merchant vessels as scouts. Why pay a subsidy to the Morgan ship trust, which would be worthless to us in war and Is useless to us In peace?

A REPUBLICAN DILEMMA.

With a Democratic House, Will the G. O. P. Continue to Stand Pats Some discussion is going on about what the Republicans would do toward revising the tariff If the Democrats elect a majority of the next congress. Such a slap in the face to the vested interests as to have to settle with a Democratic majority would bring protectionism to the point where It would be politically dangerous to stand pat any longer. As protectionism is the principal issue in the present campaign for congress, the defeat of the Republicans would be a declaration by the majority of the voters of the country for tariff reform. Could the Republican leaders afford to Ignore such a mandate by refusing next winter to pass a tariff revision bill at the session of the present congress or would they continue to stand pat and allows the trusts and combines to continue their legalized plundering of the American people? What would President Roosevelt do In such a dilemma? Would he call congress in special session or continue to stand pat, notwithstanding the expression of public opinion that protection to trusts must cease? To attempt to postpone the matter until the regular session of the Sixtieth congress convenes In December, 1907, would only bring the issue more plainly before the people in the following optional campaign. The Democratic majority of the house of representatives would of coarse pass a tariff reform measure, and the Republican senate would have to reject It or amend and pass it. To amend It in the interest of tbe trusts and protected monopolists, or refuse to consider It, would only add fuel to the popular fire that has been for some time difficult to keep within control. It will be an Interesting political condition that the Republicans will have to face If the voters decide to elect a Democratic majority to the Sixtieth congress.

The Official Trust Buster.

Commissioner Garfield of the bureau of corporations and supposed to be Uncle Sam's official trust bußter’ bas returned to his official duties. It is to be hoped that after hjs long vacation he will feel refreshed enough to tackle the trusts with more promptness than heretofore. So far, after years of labor, the bureau has not bagged a trust.

SIMPLE CATARRH REMEDY.

Takes Hyomei Treatment Pour Time* a Day and Be Cured. Hyomei has performed almost miraculous cures and is today recognized by leading members of the medical profession as the only advertised remedy for this disease that can be relied upon to do jnst what it claims. Until recently, yonr physician would have said the only way to cure catarrh would be to have a change of climate, but now with Hyomei yon can carry a health giving climate in your vest pocket and by breathing it a few minutes four times a day oure yourself. The Hyomei treatment is simple and easy to use. It destroys all cattfrrh germs in the air passages and enriches and purifies the air with ozone. When using Hyomei the air you breathe will seem like that ou the mountains, high above the sea level. A complete Hyomei outfit costs but SI.OO, extra bottles 50 cents. If it does not give you satisfaction, B. F. Fendig will refund your money. You run no whatever in taking this reliable treatment. "

THINK OF THIS ONE MINUTE.

How does it happen that the Studebaker factory in Sonth Bend, Ind., covering 101 acres, is the largest vehicle factory in the world? How does it happen that more than a {Billion Studebaker vehicles are in use the world over? How does it happen that the Studebaker business has shown a steady growth and increase every year for more than fifty years? How does it happen that the Studebaker reputation for all that goes to make 's good vehicle is higher today than ever before? Do yon think it just happened or was there a reason for it? Yon know there must have been a reason and this is it. -The absolute reliability of the Studebaker product. It appeals to careful buyers, men who are satisfied * only witlP the best. If yon belong to that claw, if you like a good farm rather than a poor farm," a good horse rather than a poor horse, a good wagon rather than a a poor wagon, we ask yon to investigate the Studebaker before buying. See the Studebaker agent C. A. Roberts the buggy Man. Rensselaer, Ind.

THE THIRD TERM.

A Momentonz Question the Voters Alone Can Decide. In spite of the declaration of President Roosevelt on the night of the national election in 1904 that he would decline a nomination for a third term and since then repeated authorized announcements by his secretary to-the same effect, there is continued talk of the Republican convention of 1908 renominating Mr. Roosevelt. As there is no law against it, although It has become the acknowledged custom of both parties, it is entirely a question of political propriety and can only be settled by the people. We have all become accustomed to believe that a third term for any man might lead him and the party he represents to lay plans for a fourth term. If a third or fourth term were secured, why not a fifth, and so on? A third term in the hands of an unscrupulous man, using all the enormous power granted by the constitution, which has since been increased by congress, would be an approach to a life term and might lead to a dictatorship. There are two ways In our .political system of defeating a third term. Its opponents in the party proposing it can defeat it, as General Grant was defeated, or the majority of the whole body of voters can refuse to elect electors pledged to vote for the third term candidate. If the Republicans wish to nominate Mr. Roosevelt and he accepts the nomination, it will be just as well to settle the third term question in 1908 as to postpone it until some more unpropitious time. The people are quite well enough Informed to care for their own future.

To Fool the Voters.

The Republican congressional 'committee bas cooked up a plan to fool tbe voters by announcing thst no money is to be collected from corporations, but the voters are Invited to contribute a dollar apiece to the campaign fund. Tbe fact Is the Republican national committee still has $400,000 on hand that was contributed by the life insurance and other corporations, and tbe tariff fostered trusts will “come down” as usual. Word has gone out from the Protective Tariff league: “The president stands pat. Turn In your subscriptions with confidence In tbe promise for protection.”

A Champion Needed.

Why does not Neighbor Roosevelt break into the riparian Tights game at Oyster Bay and settle this old standing feud among the neighbors? It needs some stout champion to stand up for the people, for their access to the water they own is being cut off by corporations or individuals in every direction. It is getting so in many places that the people have to pay to see their own sea and reach their own lakes and rivers.
