All Lines of Sport Short on Predic

New York, Jan. 17. Sporting
soothsayers are long on speculation for
the coming year but mighty any on
predictions. The fight situation,
essentially a winter game, has an edge
on the other fields in the matter of
general interest. Much of the future
talk concerns the possibilities of new
champions in 1916. Kid jv"ill'mms,
bantam king and Freddie Welsh, ruler
of the lightweights, were slated for
the outer darkness, witn Johnny Erele
and Charley White strongly pressing
toward the golden limelight. Jess
Willard seemed secure behind his de
mand for a million or so for a finish
fight end oblo to defend himself in a
limited bout. Ted Lewis, conqueror of
Willie Ritchio, was cruising ulong as
the leading welterweight but interest
in that class has been revived and
Lewis will have plenty of opposition
before his claim to the title is cleared.
The baseball muddle still is too
foggy for acourato prognostication.
No one knows where the Fed players
are going and there is no gauge on
the relative strength of the teams
ns they will lineup next year. Boston,
CI icago and Detroit have an edge in
the American league but in the Na-
tionol the veil still covers longuo and
club conditions. The Browns, with
Branch Rickey's excellent machine and
ies' Fod stars, also are
iriously in the American i
state and local tickets in the field this
fall.
According to the antl-saloon league,
Nebraska now has 28 dry counties
with 153,G53 population; 351 dry and
219 wet towns, 64 dry an d38 wet
county seat towns and a total of 890
saloons in the state. Forty thousand
Nebraskans must ask that the pro
hibition question be submitted to
vote before it will be placed on the
ballot. These petitions are being
prepared by ttie drys now..

PHYSICAL CULTURE.
A Factor In Training the Brain In
Boys and Girls.
Enthusiasm, self confidence, the spirit
of adventure, alertness, promptness.
unselfishness, quick judgment, are all
to be learned on the field of games and
sports, says the Medical Record, and
every argument for such training of
boys applies with equal force to girls.
Mothers ns well as, fathers must be
strong and healthy, and It Is said that
girls undergoing such training not only
assume a more upright and dignified
carriage, but begin unconsciously to
avoid slang and other vulgarities.
The ancient Greeks knew these
things! and in 2,500 yeurs wo have not
equaled their results. If a boy does
not seem to plcu up music with ease,
or sword piny, ho may nttnlu remark
ablo dexterity with tools. At best he
may learn to carve, at least ho may at
toln creditable efficiency as a Joiner or
carpenter. Even Juggling and conjur

than no manual work at all. I'erson

. "The Servant in the House," writ
ten by Charles Rann Kennedy, is a
play with punch to it. That much be
came ' apparent Saturday evening
when (William Owen and his company
presented that dramatic problem play
before Lyceum ticket holders at the
high school.
'The Servant in the House" has its
lighter lines, and keen shafts of wit
percolated through it, but on the
whole it is the story of most any old
church today. Nominally the story
is scened in England, but the plot in
all parts of the civilized world. Brief
ly, the story deals with the struggle
between self and the other fellow. A
scholarly vicar finds himself at vari
ance with his surroundings.' He can't
discover the case of his cause of his
grief; the church he preaches in
doesn't prosper. Not until a lowly
drain tender discovers the trouble "Is
under the church" is the problem
solved. In many respects the story
is a paper parallel to "Inside the
cup." 1
A right reverend bishop of world
fame officiating as a butler; his way
ward brother the drain tender in a
church where a third brother is vicar
and can't discover the cause of a bad
smell which keeps the parishioners
away. Things go from bad to worse,
the vicar discovering that he is a
slave of public opinion, not a servant
of God. He breaks with his wife, but
finally the old drain tender puts
everything right by discovering that
the trouble with the church is under
it, not m the sewer, and the butler
reveals his identity and a dying
cnuroti is made well, and a broken
family strand restored by "Cleaning
nouse irom witnin and abolishing
nypocracy.
wiiiiam uwen and his company
presented the story with good inter
pretation. The head of the company
was the lowly drain tender but the
part is not sufficient for Ihim,
would be "Shyloek," "Iago" or a half
dozen Shakespearean roles which Mr,
Owen handles with Tare perfection,
Mr. uwen loves more action than
given him to do m this play. J. W,
McConnel, who so nhly depicted the
role of the Bishop of Lancashire, has
'been with the Owen company for
nearly a score of years. Mason, tho
butler, the third heavy part of the
play was carried by Wililam Lind
quist. "The Servant in the House" is
not fully appreciated until studied
until seen a Becond time. Every line
is a sermon and the audience Satur
day evening drank in these lessons as
ono by one was unreeled by Mr. Owen
and his comnnny. "The Servant
the House is ranked as one of tho
foremost dramas of the age deep
far seeing and analytic. All these
virtues were brought out with ad
mirablo precision by the company
whose hands it was.

Vatican to Take Interest.
Rome, Jan. 6. (By Mail) The
Vatican is to take more active inter
est in temporal diplomatic politics
than it has evinced for many years,
in the opinion or Vatican affairs ob
servers whose opinions are respected.
In the recent elevation of six new
cardinals to the royal purple of the
Sacred Colloge, Pope Benedict has
given the first definite indication of
what will be the future character and
policy of his pontificate, say these
men, who assert that they base their
conclusion upon centuries of Vatican
precedent.
The Sacred College, consisting us
ually of from 60 to 70 members, has
charge of tho administration of the
t atholic affairs throughout the world.
Tho college is under the direction of
the Fope. The pontiff usunlly wants
this body composed of cardinals in
harmony with his ideas.
The Vatican world awaits with in
terest the first consistory that a now
pontilT holds in order thnt it may
judge, from the character of the first
cardinals created by the new pope,
what will be the1 general policy of his
pontificate.
When a cardinal is elected pope he
finds himself surrounded by a Sacred
College chosen by his immediate pre
decessors. These cardinals may be
out of harmony with whnt he wants
to accomplish. It is seldom a pre
late becomes n ciruinal octore he is
I fifty and as deaths in tho college
membership are not infrequent, the
new pontiff gradually may change the
character of the Sacred College by the
elevation of new members. In the
course of ten years a new pope or
dinarily may have, if he wished sur
rounded himself with a Sacred College
the majority of which is in harmony
with his ideas. It is only then that
a pope begins to give to his pontificate
that c haracter which is likely to be
associated with his name in history.
In the recent creation by Pope
Benedict of his first six cardinals the
fact that stood out most prominently
was that four of them were chosen
from the ranks of the Vatican diplo
matic service. These were Cardinal
Tonti, papal nunzio to Portugal;
Cardinal Cagliero, papal nunzio to the
Central American republics; Cardinal
Fruvirth, papal unuzio to Munich, and
Cardinal Scapinelli, papal nunzio to
Vienna.
Pope Benedict's reign therefore, ac
cording to Vatican students and tra
dition, is expected to mark a revival
of the political side of the church.
This predicted outcome would be in
harmony with Pope Benedict's train
ing. Pope Benedict, when he was Mon
signor Delia Chiesa, was trained in
the diplomatic and political school of
Pope Leo. When Cardinal Rampolla,
as secretary of state to Pope lt.
labored in harmony with the latter to
strengthen the Vatican's diplomatic
relations in all the leading courts of
the world, Monsignor Delia Chiesa
was under secretary of state to Cardi
nal (Rampolla. He also had held dip
lomatic posts at Paris and elsewhere.
The revival of this policy, Rome be
lieves again is presaged in the eleva
tion to the Sacred College of four
veteran diplomats. It is confidently
expected that this entire pontificate
will be marked by this, policy.
