It wag the pa-per of Natureland and Blllie Brownie loved to read It aloud to the Fai-ries and the Elvea and the other Brownies and the Gnomes. They all d hearing It, too. "Weather will be different at dif-ferent times," he redd. "Some days It will be cold, other (hiys It will be warm, but on Mr. Gray Squirrel Had a Banquet. the whole the weather report Is satis-factory. "The weather will hnve variety and interest for all ut one time or another. "And now," Plllle Brownie said, "I must read the Personal Items.' "Mr. Robin is expecting to leave the South before long. He has had a de-lightful autumn and enrly winter and has met many old friends. "Mr. Gray Squirrel had a banquet last night of nuts which he had put under the snow last full. It was a splendid banquet. Covers were set for many and a good time was hud by all. "The animals in the r.oo are eat'ng a great deal during the cold weather and find their appetites excellent. They have a good cook, but they ask their friend in other zoos not to cull him away. They would like to keep him. "The Opossums are still up to their own tricks and will not change until they find others which are better. "Up to now they think their own tricks are very clever, particularly the one about pretending not to be alive when an enemy comes near, or else pretending to be sound asleep. "Mr. Woodehuek has not decided whether he will see his shadow or not when he peeps forth from his sleeping quarters in the near future. "He says all Uie people like to take his photograph then and to write about him in the newspapers.. "He is also known as Mr. Ground-bog- , be states. "Mr. Groundhog's cousin, residing In the Small Mammal House, the Zoo, has a new friend. His new friend is a dear little honey bear from Soutb America. Mr. Groundhog Is very friendly with his keepeer and is al-lowed, as they say, 'the run of the place.' "Mr. Horace Country-sid- e Wood-chuc-is dreaming sweet dreams of the fun they had at Woodehuek Park last summer. "There were many of them In f colony and they had their holes In th nearby big fields. Only a few people drove along these country roads and the woodchucks had things pretty j much to themselves. "They used to come up and sit above their homes and enjoy the beautiful sunshine. "Sometimes people passing would admire them. They only met friends and no enemies, which was very de--i lightful. "Their winter dreams are now o' the sweetest. "King Snow and the Icicle Girls and Old Man Winter and Madame Snow and Prince Sleet have all sent word, that they are going to remain arounf a little longer anyway. "What Is meant by that 'anyway we cannot quite tell. "The Snow Jewelers wish to run a advertisement about their Snow Crys-tal Jewels. They say they have th finest collection ever brought togethei and that the prices are reasonable and the Jewels exquisite. "Their advertisement Is to be found on the left-han- d side of this paper." Billie Brownie showed It to every one. Then he continued reading: "The Donkey family held a braying .contest the other day. Each go well that all were specially de-- serving of the prize, but no one received it, be-cause no one was ' better than the I others. "Mr. Fly rubbed his wings with his two hind legs and went the other day. . "No one want- - to to see him, but that did not both-er Mr Fly. Nor will he nind what we say about him 'J n our valuable paper. "His manners He Is Also Known as Mr. Ground-hog. are as bad as ever. And he was nol a welcome visitor. "Everyone had hoped that there would be no flies for a long time. But somehow or other, this Mr. Fly found his way to a warm house on a warm day In quite a warm place.

Eppa Rixey closed his twelfth year as a pitcher In major league company with record of 15 gumes won for the season. Not so grund, you say? No, and yet not so bad. The veteran won 13 out of 29 games, pretty good record for anybody's pitcher; espe-cially with a club that did not finish one, two, three In the pennant stand-ing. When one considers that the average major league life of a pitcher Is less than ten years and Ills full bloonit of effectiveness Is five years or less, the 19114 record of the tall Cin-cinnati pitcher Is rather Impressive. And especially Is this record Impres-sive when one considers what ltlxey did for his team In 1923. Pitching his eleventh e year, the Virginian won UO and lost 13 games. Thla feat was some-what overshodowed by the marvelous record of Lutiue, who pitched on the same team that year with ltlxey and led all pitchers In the world by his performance of 27 victories and only 8 defeats. ltlxey really" had one of his great years In 191, and considering the strain on his ancient arm while com-piling that record, his 11KM showing of 15 victories Is an Impressive one. It Is shown here that ltlxey, with his 20 victories In 1923 was six years past his full pitching bloom. The percentage oi pitchers who win 20 games after their tenth year on the big time Is mighty small. Possibly not mors than a dozen such pitching giants ap-pear In the majors during a decade. ltlxey himself Is Just as Impressive as his pitching averages. lie Is thi tallest man In baseball, standing six feet five Inches In height, and he ll also the slenderest man In baseball An Impressive figure Is Rixey when he bends forward from the hips to deliver his curves. In spite of hli height, he fields his position with pre-cision and skill. Itixey Is also one of I the smartest of the ball players. IU is a graduate of the University of Vir-ginia, coming straight to Philadelphia In the National league after thret years on the mound for his college. But when It comes to disposition, Itixey leads them all, either In base-ball or any other walk of life. He has the best disposition on record Anyone who has spent a day with the tall pitcher around the clubhouse, on the bench, on the practice field, or In the hotel lobby; under any kind of weuther conditions, playing condltloni or state of the pennant race, or har-assment that falls to the lot of the children of man, Itixey Is always smll ing, pleasant, cheerful, . Jesting, not only refusing to let his own troublei worry him but driving away th troubles of those with whom he comet In contact. .A remarkable type, this man Rixey. nis value to bis club in the matter of disposition would seem to be worth about as much as his pitching ability. It Is simply impossible to withstand his pleasant smile, his sense of humor and his happy, boyish ways. Twelve yeurs of campaigning In clubhouse and on field have left no visible marka upon this veteran's character. He Is Just as light-hearte- d and as gay and as full of enthusiasm as the last-Joine-d recruit. But let us understand RLxey, Under this smiling exterior and this pranklshness, this apparent unsophls-tlcatlo- n of the rookie, Hetb a strong, manly and dependable character. Itixey Is a man of superior intelli-gence, a man of thought and study, who besides having mastered the pro-fession of baseball, has also mastered the profession of dentistry. But he elects to look on the gay side of life and to get every speck of Joy and brightness And humor that he can out of any situation that arises In his most Interesting and colorful exist-ence.

Install Master Charlie One of Derby Favorites Master Charlie, the colt that won the Kentucky Jockey club stakes at Churchill Downs, the result of which will automatically make hira one of the winter book favorites for next year's Kentucky derby, cost his owner, Wil-liam Daniels, the Chicago live stock commission merchant, $1,000. This season he earned 595,025 in purse money for his owner. Bred in England by J. Musker and the get of Lord Archer-Bachelor- s Choice, the colt was sent to the United States as a yearling with a consign-ment of other colts and fillips to be sold at the Sarntoga auctions. Dan-iels, looking for likely racing talent at a reasonable price, visited the sale paddocks and bid Master Charlie and two other yearlings in, paying $1,000 for each of them. The famous Yule bowl contains 23 miles of permanent seats, The race horses that made an em-bezzler out of. a hotel clerk showed that gentleman up. In Spain and Mexico bullfighting Is conducted under the most exciting sport rules In existence. Jim Barnes says one of the most Im-portant things a golfer must remember Is to "hit through the ball." Cornell's tenm had power, but lacked an outstanding star like Kaw orl'fann to give It a scoring punch. . Three American race horses are to be shipped abroad next fall to meet the best In England and France. By winning the Norfolk open golf tournament Walter Hagen Jumped Into the lead early as a winter star. Authorities say Jack Renault, heavy-weight boxer, was never a member of the Canadian Mounted.- With football out of the way, the fans must settle down to a hard win-ter's Job of winning the 1925 pennant. The great question in higher edu-cational circles now seems to be: "What is the capacity of your sta-dium?" Harvard university has the nucleus of a fine baseball team for next year, according to Assistant Coach F. F. Mitchell. Jim Barnes says keeping the head down too long In making a golf shot checks the follow through and ruins the stroke. "Pitcher Beall of the Tanks Is the g right-hande- r to break Into the American league In years," says Connie Mack. Even though he seldom has poor ma-terial, the remarkable work of Notre Dame is a tribute to the genius of Coach Itockne. "Any d batter with a good eye and natural swing can overcome the handicap of southpaw pitching." says Babe Ruth. Rain never has been known in Egypt between the. two lower falls of the Nile. It looks like a fine opening for a baselxall league. Jack Hendricks announced that the Reds had released Gus Sandberg, third string catcher, to the Los Angeles club of the Coast league. Conan Doyle's assertion that' every-one works in the next world will prob-ably come as a great shock to many of our golf players. .'' Nothing developed during the last season to alter the standing of Dex-ter and Edith Cummlngs as the best brother-and-slste- r golf team in this country. Information obtained from the coast intimates that Sparrow, Boston's new player from Calgary, Is a tine player when he tends strictly to the game. ''' Fort Sam Houston is to have a golf course of its own, and work of laying out the first nine holes of the new course near Salado creek will begin in a few days. By going through another season without missing a game Everett Scott, shortstop of the Yankees, Increased his remarkable run of cousecutlve games to 1,290.

When the last game had been played. It was made known that "Skippy" bad played with a broken collarbone, keeping the extent of the injury a secret so at to sustain the fighting spirit of the team, of which be was the outstanding figure. i "Vv x , 'V s . . V French Amused at Giants From reports the French appear to be somewhat nonplussed that the New York "Giants" have among their ranks such small meri as F. F. Frlsch and A. N. Nehf. They evidently expected to see all the players duck their heads when they came out of the railroad tation. This rather amusing Idea makes one wondr if, should the Washington Senators go abroad, would the French expect to see some of America's former congressmen or would they plan to receive a tribe of Indians If the Boston Braves took a notion to travel.
