RACEYS CLOSE SEASON WITH VTORY . % ¥ players, having four victories to his credit and no defeats. 'Only ohe player, Arthur Woods of Minneapolis, “has sur- passed his high run of 52. Woods col- lected a-run-of 57 in one of his matches and 61 in. another. ' Woods, Afthur Church, Yonkers, N. Y¢ and James Masuro, New York, were tled for. &econd place: at the end of the first Week’s play. ~Each = had won three games and lost ‘one. : _ Sunday afterncon at the fair 'fifldfl the Norwich Kaceys ball team defeated the Taftville aggregation by the re of 1% to 10 in the final game of the season. Taftville wanted this game so that they, would have ‘something to talk about, but after the first few innings they had not a possible chance, to take away the laurels from:the locals. Taftville was first to seore. In the second inning Cooney was safe when Ball booted his grounder and on a sacrifice went to second. Cooney scored on Denny Murphy's hit te center. b The Kaceys came right back in the third and seored two runs when Kahn was safe on a fielder's choice and scored on Martin’s double. Martin tallfed when Shea tripled to left. i ‘Taftville had Norwich going when In the fifth they scored three runs on G. Murphy's double, two walks and a single. In the Kaceys' half of the fifth, with two out, Martin hit his second double and stole third. Shea and McGowan were passed. - With three men on and two out is a position which would make many a batter feel creepy, but it did not affect Wilder. He holsted one over the exhibition hall for a homer, Taftville scored one run in the seventh on a single, a sacrifice and a double.

It wag the first time in eastern foothall history that an opposing team from the west had triumphed over one of the Big Three. ' In’ the Yale bowl with some 70000 or more. spectators, the Bull Dog found a téugh proposition in the army eleven but by 'a well execufed attack turned back the Cadefs, 14 to 7.

Chan- cey has defeated every featherweigit of note in the country. The result is that promoters find it an’ impossibili- ty to secure featherwsights who will consent to box Chancy. Chancy won the Tex Rickard feather- weight elimination tournament at Mad- ison Square Garden recently, by win- -| ning referee's decisions over Sammy Sieger, Charley Beecher and Tommy Noble. Johnny Kilbane, refused an of- fer of $50,000 from Tex Rickard to i box Chaney 15 rounds to a decision. Chaney holds two newspaper decisions over Kilbane, hence the reason for Kilbane's refusal to meet Chaney. Chaney is now -open to be booked to meet any junior lightweight ¢n Am- erica. Johnny Dundee has refused of- fers from TexRickard and Roy Green, New York and Boston promoters, to meet Chaney in a bout to a‘decision. | The winner to receive a $2500 diamond studded belt, emblematic of the World’s | Junior Lightweight title. Dundee is the first chap that Chaney aims to swap wallops .with. If Dundeed continues evading the issue, Chaney will grad- ually eliminate the rest of the con- tenders. Then Kilbane must come out of his shell. VASSAR’S HOCKY TEAM TO MEET ALL-EMGLISH PLAYERS Pouchkeepsfe, N.

By Alpine lake, ‘neath shady rock, The herd boy knclt beside his flock, And softly told, with oious air, His alphabet as evenirg prayer. Unseen, his pastor lingered near; “My child, wnat mean the sounds T hear? May I not in your worship share And raise to heaven my evening prayer? “Where'er the hills and vallevs blend The sounds of prayer and praise ascend ; My child, a prayer yours camnot be, You've only said your a-b-c¢. “I have no better way to pray, All that T know to God I say I tell the letters on my knees; He makes the words himself to please.” ) UNCLE JED'S TALK AWAKES. Many a boy and girl has been heard to say that they disliked some study so much that they would never learn any more about it than they actually had to. They couldn’t conceive how it could do them or anybody else any good and they didn’t propose to waste their time and patience in trying to conquer i, or words to that effect. As is often the case they place theirt Judgment above that of others who are much better qualified than they are to determine what is for their good. It is true that some like one study better than another and make more progress in one than another, but the true mean- Ing of educatlon is being missed by those Wwho turn from the hardier to the easier paths because it requires less effort. If we studied only the things that are easy for us to learn we would®never beconte educated, because we-would not be call- ing into use many of our highest powers —powers of memory, application, concen- tration and perseverance. They are the muscles of the mind, as it were, that we shrink from using—we don't like to make the effort which is a hard one at first. But unless we do learn to use them those muscles become ineffective and when they are most needed, in the after time when the school days are over, we cannot command them at will. It does not take much thought on the part of any boy or girl to understand that the man or woman who is going to succeed In the future must be able to concentrate, think deeply and stick to whatever he or she undertakes. The great advantage of hard studies is that through the mastery of them they not only educate, but teach us how to master other hard problems of life. Don’t shrink from study. Others can- not do it for you. Nothing in this world that is easily attained is of great and TO WIDE- THE WIDE-AWAKE CIRCLE : Boys’ and Girls’ Department. “mother.

Dear Uncle Jed: “What a beautiful vase,” sald Lillian as she passed by the store window. “Wouldn't mother love it for a Christmas present! I think Tl get it—if T've enough money.” But no, the vase was a dollar, and Lillian had only fifty cents. She thought about it all the way home. Finally she said to herself, “T'll earn it. I've never earned a bit of money in my life, and I'm sure mother will appreciate the vase more if T earn it myself! The next day there was a snowstorm, and when it had cleared, Lillian ran BY WIDE- walk she could clear, declaring that girls could shovel snow as well as boys. Mrs. Burns gladly let Lilllan shove! her waix, and paid her for it. Lillian thought it quite fun, and came home with rosy dheeks. After supper she offered to clear the table and wash the dishes for her mother, who gladly. let her do it, and as a reward gave her a little money. Lillian looked out for little helpful things which she could do, and at last was able to walk proudly into the store and purchase the vase. Christmas day she laid the package in her mother's lap and said: “It ig the first thing I've ever earned, and it's for vou, mother." DOROTHEA SIMPSON, Age 12, Norwich. An Incldent Tn My Summer Vacation Dear Uncle Jed: This summer my girl friend had given to her a dog which lately presented her triplets. When they were about five weeks old the funniest thing happened. An old hen which was owned by the some people was “setting”. To prevent the eggs from hatching she was constantly robbed of her eggs. The hen disgusted, I suppose having her eggs taken from her, adopted these puppies. She would not allow the real dog meth- er to come near her newly adopted chil- dren, and, strange to say, the pupples as the students have participated in| inter-class games only.

Plainfleld. An U Tramp. Dear Uncle Jed: This is to tell about an imusual beggar who came to the door and begged for food. He had a bright looking face with small shifty eyes which seemed to take in evervthing at one glance, also a crooked set of teeth so that when he smiled he looked very cruel. He wore a torn pair of shoes which looked as though they were made for feet twice his size. He had on a ragsed suit which looked as though it had seen much wear and his hat was made of dark biue felt and he had worn holes in it and patched it with black of the same material. It looked as though he had always worn it in one particular spot as he had a bald spot on the ride which he was wearing it when I saw him. This is my. opinion of the tyy: of an unusual tramp. Yours sincerely, o C. CORA CARPENTER, Age 13. Columbia. My Trip to Pleasure Beach Dear Unele Jed: I know that you like to hear about little folks' trips, s I thought 1 would write and tell you about mine. One Sunday my mother, father and I took a trip to Pleasure Beach. We started about 10.30 a. m. When we ar- rived there I saw many people. - Papa asked me to take a walk with him but I wasn't thinking about taking a walk. I wanted to go in bathing =0 I put my suit on and in T jumped. 1 had a very nice time in the water and when mamma called me to come in I felt rather sad. But T did not feel sad very long as I saw mamma opening the lunch box. 1 was having such a nice time in the water that 1 forgot about eating. Now I was feelins hungry and hurried to get dressed. We then ate our lunch and it tasted so good. qxen I climbed a high rock and Iooked at the beautiful scenery and the glistening water. We started for home at 7 o'clock. And when 1 arrived home I was wiliing to go to bed. From your little friend. LEONA M. COMSTOCK, Age 11. Norwich. — Our Farm Dear Uncle Jed: 1 live on a farm I Moosup. Conn., and find it very interest- ing. We have chickens, rabbits, pigs, calves, cows and-a horse. We have fun putting the calves in the pasture. They are very playful agnd if you aren’t care- ful they will take you off ybur feet. One day the pigs got out and gave us a good chase through the cornflelds and over stonewalls. At last Grandpa got them in with a pail of apples. That was equal to a day's work, as we werk all tired out. Yours truly, EVELYN TROENING, Age 10. Moosup. Pansy Dear Uncle Jed: I am an old dog: my me is a hunter. T am kept to hunt and he feeds me well every day.

He would desert his books any time to seek the forest with his gun or the streams with his fishing pole. At ( sixteen, his father set him up in business, but _he displayed neither the taste nor digposition necessary to siocess.

A Trip to the Nation's Capitol. Dear Uncle Jed: 1 Tive in Washingtom and will tell you about one of my trips to the national capitol. I love to roller skate around the capitoi grounds and the view from the plaza is one of the most beautiful scenes in the whole of Wa Ington. But when we enter the rotunds it is even much prettier. On each side of us are a group of statues, one repre- senting Columbus and an Indian Girl, and the other a Pioneer Fighting an In- dian. But glance up into the dome and its canopy of colors. There are a num- ber of paintings on the walls which are very pretty. including The Landing of Columbus, The Discovery of the Missis- sippi, The Baptism of Pocahontas, The Embarkation of the Piigrims, and a few others. But let us go into the gallery. Listen! We all pause to hear the party on the other side of the hall murmuring. In the statnary hall there is 2 wone derful statue of 2 woman called History, also in one of the corridors there is & picture called Westward, Ho! The mar- ble room is calied that from its pretty walls, ceilings and columns. But let'q g0 up in the dome. From there you cam see nearly all of Washington. Well, goodbye.
