Girls Who Go In for Athletics Shine Brightly in the Summer Sports THE OMAHA SUNDAY REE:" JULY j r'r ft letlc and Maggie, Marie, Maud and Mabel hold their own readily with the young sters of the sterner sex in several of suited to sex. Very v.i'ii bay. l give over even thlB qualification, for a really truly base ball umpire wears shirts and attends the University of Nebraska dur ing the winter season, and It will not be a great while until the girls will tire of basket ball and will take up foot ball in real earnest, and then the boy. will have to take a back seat. Seriously,' the establish ment of a sound body for the coming womeiPis considered just as essential as the de velopment of a sane mind, and to tbat end modem edu cation, .ia being directed. In all the Bchools nowadays ftymnaslum work is required of the young w omen. In the Omaha High school the girls hare a gymnasium, while tho boys have to take their exer cise In the open. All sorts of drills iud, exercises are taught, for the purpose of developing the physical side of the girl, while she is re quired to take l'art in the games more or less Btrenuoua that stie may put into prac tice thp muscles that arc developed by the train ing, and give , them some thing like practical service. V The girla' basketball team is just as much a feature of school life aa Is the boys', and If the girls do not play football or baseball It is because those games present certain phases that render them undesirable for fem inine attempt. Rowing and tennis and similar games are within her acope, though, and one proud father re counted quite recenty how his daughter came home from school with prizes for canoeing and tennis and bowling; he said if she had been as high' in her tcholarshin as she was in her athletics he would have been better, pleased, but lie- was glad that flho exceled la something. . . -;It is not that the girls are permitted to neglect the more serious purpose of Bchool for 'the training in eAhlotics; quite on the contraxy, they are held to ac countability for their scholarship just as rigidly as are their brothers, and no girl can be on the team unless she stands. well in her classes. Thus the two systeniB are kept in harmony and the work progresses sys tematically, so that when the girl comes from school, she is not only furnished with a well-equipped mind, but she has a body developed symetrically and to a point where its best use Js mado certain.

Tho.se who had none could borrow their neighbors' and those who had many could bring Mium all. "And don't'be afiald to come with them because they make a nclsc," the priest said, "1 tnlnk there can be no sweeter mumc in the heavenly choirs than the prattle of little tongues, and no sucred altars were ever profaned by their Innocent presence." The word spread through the Ilronx and on the Hppolnied day there was the wildest search for babies that over happened north ir south of the Harlem ' Conarrrwatlun of . "Kiddles." ' Into the church a crowd of ctolnp, gur gling Infar.t3 was carried to tho over burdened pews. Funic of the little ones who could walk were toddlln.g up the alles and Mating t-p with tlclifrhted faces at the biasing lights oir the altars and one stood before the lifo-sized statue of the Blessed Virgin, lifting up her chubby hands In entreaty to be taken up and fondled. When Father Walsh, who officiated at the service, came, to the altar, ready to say the prayers and pronounce tho bless ing, he paused In astonishment. A chorus of "Ooos" and "tins" and rippling baby la UU liter niel him, and seeing, one toddler wr.o uas vainly trying to make tho step up lo the foot of the altar where the Saviour's benign face Jooked down, he caught the insptiallou for his sermon and advancing to the front , repeated. "Suffer Little Children to Coma UnH Me, for of euch is the Kingdom f Heaven." The priest spoke briefly on the blessings of motherhood, and proceeded with the prayers and blesi-liig for children and mothers present and the blessing for sick children who could not come. All the responses were loud and fervent "goo-goos," and if tlto didn't cam at tiie right place they came, often. Not a child cried noticeably and tiie congregation evinced muoh Interest In the service, some of the little ones laughing outright when, aa the priest passed down the aisles spih-kllng , holy . water, the drops hit their heid.

Tiie dis play represents "Africa and tho Far East," eftectlvciy. Practically tho whole field of the Church Missionary society's enterprise in thote great areas Is covered by tho ex hibition. It depicts the national life of tlio6 countries with fidelity and vividly brangs home to the mind tho native re ligions, with their quaint customs f and stiur.ge supcrstltitlons. The hall is admirably adapted to the realistic section of the exhibition.

There is a most 'Interesting African village, In which is shown a Yoruha compound, a Sierra Keono hut nnd other .frlcan buildings.

"The, meager salaries paid the clergymen" is .the reason assigned by Itev. Jr. J. J. Wilkins, general secretary, and financial agent for the establishment or the ?&.1,000 pension fund provided for the clergymen of the Episcopal church, "The Inadequacy of the salary paid to the average clergyman," lie declares, "de manded some provision for his maintenance when ho had reached old age or was other wise Incapacitated for further service, anil when no on wished his services he had heretofore become an object of charity. Out Investigations '.Into the matter ' ills eloped an average salary of less than IM' a year In some sections, and not niore than '$900 In any section. This, of course, Is an average figure. "It la consequently Impossible for the clergymen to lay by Jiiythlng for future emergencies. This fund was accordingly brought forward at tiie 17 general con ference by Bishop Johnson of Iju Angeles. A commission of ten bishops, fifteen other clergymen and twenty distinguished .lay men were named to raise the t5,tju,Co6 fur the fund. It was specifically provided that the pensions were to be given by right of service at the uge of 64, or where in capacitated for service by accident or dis ease when lers than (X years old.

Nobody" who was up on the respective qual ities of the different ability of the players of the tournament cither of these to win a place in tre fi nals, although they had been picked as possibilities in the semifinals. One of the remarkable things about the two girls who won the places of champion and runner-up, is that neither of them play a very brilliant game of tennla.. Neither has many good strokes, although Miss Chase seems to have a few moro than Miss Clarke, but both girls play a steady consistent game of tennis all through. Miss Clarke has a better developed back hand stroke and is strong In the placement of the ball, while MIsa Chase has to use two hands to make a back hand play she covers the court better and is quicker on her feet than Miss Clarke. In the consolation and doubles matches the Omaha High school girls were in evidence as the winners. Miss Laura Zimmerman and Miss Luclle Fellers both took places In the consolation matches that showed that they were In line to develop into 'championship players and In the doubles MIbb Zimmerman and Miss Elizabeth McMulien showed up well against the experienced!

She has attended an eastern school and while there made a fine showing in her studies as 'well as in athletics. The runner-up, Miss Clarke, is well known in social circles, where she Is admired, because of her many attractive ways, as we1 as for her powers as an athlete. - ' ; The prizes offered for the winners . and the run-ners-up in the matches were very fine ones. The win ners In the two championship events got silver cups, One diocese pledged itself lo raise $125,000 In five years, and a western capitalist gave' $50,000. . .'''.' "We have eighty-three other districts and dioceses to depend upon for the obtaining of the full amount." The pension fund, Ir. W'ilkius explained, Is different from the preneral 'lergy relief fund of the church. This latter fund, he said, Is only expended upon request for aid, wliile tho other provides a remunera tion by right of service, just as the army and naval officers are pensioned by the government. The fund's administration will bo under the direction of the general relief fund of ficers, who have headquarters In Philadel phia. Iir.
