Although travelers in America are
prone to regard hotel rooms with bath
as a necessary adjunct to travel, it Is
quite different in Holland, where
room* with bath are unknown. When
a hotel guest begs the privilege of us-
ing the tub. a maid appears with tow-
els and soap, draws sufficient water of
about the right temperature, ami then
locks The faucets. The hotel charges
40 cents for the luxury. By taking
the precaution of shutting ofT the wa-
ter the hotel prevents a possible trav-
eling companion from sneaking In and
enjoying a bath without -omlng across
with another 40 centsf

tion of the nal+olwl holiday, July
ttli Business will go on in routine
in tiie- forenoon but the latter half
of the day will be otherwise em-
ployed.
The principal attraction for Sher-
manites will be the ball game be-
tween the Cubs and Tigers at Justin
College Athletic park. . The game
will be called at 3 O'clock as an-
nounced by President W, A, Jlur,..j,
and omly one contest win be played.
At present the -teams of the Sher-
man and Bonham clubs are tied in
percentage, and as each team is nat-
urally a rival of the other it is con-
templated that me game tomorrow
afternoon will not be short of "pep.''
Napier, the big pitcher for the Cubs
and 'who has lost only one game this
schedule, will work for manager
llqgbphries. Bonham will aDo make
a good fjght for the game and It
is expected that Corzitie will be the
pitcher for them, bu*' is not yet as-
sured. These rwirlers have a close
Standing In number of games woTTp
for their teams, and many fans would
like to see them play against one
another.
Since President Murphy allowed
three games beginning Monday to
be transferred to Bonham, the Cubs
have been playing a game againsf
odds. Away from home when they
need the games at home so that
they can stand better-natural condi-
tion), to win them. Yesterday Dodo
Pe.nuelL the former Denison player,
was umpire at. Bonham. TTfiri-wo
scores that crossed the rubber were
a fight all the way around the'dia-
mond and then lie took exceptions
when Moore, who was pitching the
game, asked him about a “decision
and benched him. Manager Hum-
phries inquired why Moore was to
leave the game and be was put out:
under thogejclrculustaiioes . Hum-
phries called his men from the field.
Monday the game pitched, by Grimes
was won in the ninth Inning when
Leftfielder Mould*#? a former Bon-
ham player, let a. fly hall hit the
ground.
The Sherman team will arrive
here tonight and after the game to-
morrow will go to Wichita Falls for
a series.
