On account of the wealth of base

It wt 5 suggested by the league heads
that the camp obtain a franchise a?
a member of the league. This Coolt
tK.'ld, would be Impractical, as "h
Boldiers are here to train for war,
not for amusement at l.'ncle Sam's
expense. He promised, however, to
arrange Wednesday. Saturday and
Sunday afternoon games with the
Northwest League teams as they
swing over the circuit, the games to
be played here.
Louis Gulsto. Cleveland first base
man, Charley Mullen of the White

stars available for a divisional team.

soon as the funeral Is r.ver, Phemie
marches . across to the blacksmith
ihop and informs Joo that sho will
marry him that day if he will take
her without any question of love In
:he bargain and let her little slater
Anna live with thorn, a neighbor
having agreed to look utter the three
ther children. This part of the
story is told with much force and
:rnth to life.
With the opening of the latter
half of "The Man Hater" it is at
once seen that Phemie has made an
?xcellent bargain materially for her-
elf and Anna. Joe Is a steady,
well-to-do, open hearted chap, and
oves her devotedly. Finding that
?he will not respond to his feelings
Tor her, he conceives the Idea of try
ng to arouse her Jealousy. To that
nil he Invents a rival and writes
himself letters from a mythical Lucy.
The way things turn out is easily
foreseen. A real Lucy, In the per
ion of an old sweetheart of his comes
back to town a widow, and Phemie
'inds that if there can be no love
without Jealousy there can also be
ao jealousy without love.
Most spectators will enjoy the
Uory Immensely. It has the touches
of character and tho nice sense of
humor that give it real value, and It
is capitally acted and produced.
Winifred Allen presents a near-to-aature
Impersonation of Phemie, and
makes her a distinct type. Jack
Meredith is wholesome and human
is Joe, and realistic portrayals of
I'hemie's father and mother are the
-esult of the acting of Harry Neville

wo small boys proved themselves
clever children, but the most de-
Ightful member of the cast is a

ure was directed by Albert Parker,

Dear Brother:
Your letter received and glad to
hear from you again. Have started
to write you several times but some
thing always turns up so I can't fin
ish, so will try it again now.
Was sorry to hear that mother and
Elic had been sick. I got a letter
from Lester saying he belonged to
the home guards. It don't seem he
Ib old enough because when I think
of him I remember him as a little
boy when I last saw him. Will an
swer Pauline's letter. If you think
best you can give it to her or if you
think she would tvorry more don't
let her have It. I have thought so
many times I would write and then
thinking she would only worry all
the more I would not write.
Well. I can't tell you anything
about the Bhlp or what we are doing
so it makos It hard to write a letter.
We are allowed only two sheets of
paper and only one side. Well, I
did not get the cigars you sent iae
so I guess they must have got lost.
If you have not sent them yet, send
them by insured mail. I would like
to send you all something but it
would be hard for me to do that.
However, when I get to go ashore
I will see what I can find. If von
know of any Red Cross workers or
other aid society workers for army
and navy who are knitting sweaters,
give them my address for a lot of tho
boys are getting them here. We ,-t
them from the ship's store but thjy
are not as good.
I think I will get to go ashore
Christmas, but am not sure. If 1
do I will be sure to get some
ures. Will write to all soon,
close now with love for all.

"The present commissioner of la

Northwest League Men Meet.
SEATTLE, Jan. 17. One of the
most important conferences in the
history of the Northwest League is
in session today, with the gathering
of the directors. tAs a result of the
havoc war played with the league
last year, the circuit will be much
different the coming season. What
teams shall compose the league, the
player limit, length of season, and
similar matters will be brought up.
The question of whether Portland ;
or Vancouver is entitled to the nick- !
name "Beavers" will also come up. !
There "will be some special changes '
necessary in the circuit arrangements
as a result of Portland again enter
ing the league. Butte, Great Fails
and Vancouver are the cities in
doubt as to their being within the
Northwest circuit this season.
