to turn his light on the dial, he smiles
and smiles and smiles again.
There is but one thing to disturb his
equanimity-his rival The Bills, that
have been accommodating in order to
suit that clock to the public eye and
the public needs. They have grown
faster than he has ever been able to
travel at his best, and have as much
of the never-ending quantity about
them as the old gentleman himself. 1t
is this that makes him sad at times
and he has determined to make 1t a
close contest between time and money
Old Father Time is backed by nature
and the clock by the city government.
The taxpayers can count on nature
with reasonable degree of calculation;
but only God and the government know
anything about the other horse.
The Spy offers a new solution or the
problem: Create a couple of new mu-
nicipal offices and attach salary. That
is always a popular movement in mu-
| nicipal politics.

Old Father Time is having a good
deal of a picnic all by himself these
beautiful May nights at city hail.
And, indeed his enjoyment is not al
together dependent upon the beauty of
the night. When the clouds hide out
the moonbeams and the stars, when
inky darkness and the storm king play
pranks with poor pedestrians, it is then
that Old Father Time revels all the
more in the possibilities and perplexi-
ties of the situation.
With those keen eyes of his, that
have kept close track of all the move
ments of humanity since the world be
ban, he watches the belated traveller
working himself into a cross-eyed con-
dition, peering at the tower in strug-
gle to learn the time O. night. And then
the old rascal clutches his scythe with
a tighter grip, hugs the hour-glass
closer to his breast, looks over az the
calcium light on top of the clark ploes
and--Winks the other eye.

Tuesday night, when the members o.
fine CITY council or the school board

NOT FAR AWAY.
Gathering of College
Athletes at the
Oval.
THE ANNUAL GAMES,
Frank Fl. Bigelow Has
Charge Of the Local End
Of the Big Event.

The annual game of the New Eng
land intercollegiate Athletic Associa-
ton will take place at the oval Sat
urday of next week. Frank H. Bige-
low of this city is managing the local
end of the meet, acting in behalf of the
executive committee of the association.
The performances Of the colleges at
the oval last year promise remarkable
competitions on the goth. In the con-
tests last year every record save one
was smashed and many of the men
who broke those records are training
for the contests next week.
The oval is the place for the games.
For seven years the colleges of the as
ISOLATION have chosen the oval as the
place for the annual athletic meet on
account of the financial success which
attends the games in Worcester and
on account of the interest which is
manifested by the people of this city.
The entry list for the games closes
tomorrow evening. The medals which
are offered as prizes in the events are
being made by Robert Stoll of New
York. He is the maker of the intercol-
legiate medals which are annually
striven for by the bigger college ath-
letes.
The games will begin at o'clock in
the afternoon. The trials of the 900
yards dash, 440 yards run, two mile
bicycle race and putting the shot will
take place at 1920 o'clock in the morn
ing in order to insure the games being
run off quickly. The committee has de-
cided to run off the bicycle races at the
oval in connection with the other sports.
Mr.. Bigelow has decided to reserve
portions OF the grandstand for the
schools of this city in response to a de-
mand from the students. Tickets for
the games will be placed on sale tomor-
row. They can be obtained at the Iver
Johnson sporting goods house, F. A.
Easton's and Putnam. Davis & Co.'S
Mr.. Bigelow is also making out the list
of officials for the games.

HOT AFTER THE MATCH.
Rosenberg's Backer viii
Not Let 1t Go By
Default.

William Lambert hacker Of Maurice
Rosenberg of Boston, is hot after the
match with John F. Dinsdale, anc
doesn't intend to let it escape. Anc
at that, he isn't in any greater haste
than George P. King, who is backing
Dinsdale.
Mr.. Lambert yesterday wrote the
sporting editor of The Spy concerning
the match. Among other things, he
said: Il will be at The Spy office We'd
nesday afternoon, May 10, at 2 o'clock
with S225 to bind the match. l hope
all parties interested will be present, in
order that the business may be quickly
attended to. We want the match
properly made, l am glad to see that
Mr. King is behind Dinsdale. That
bunch which was behind him at Cam
bridge did nothing except talk, and il
Dinsdale had relied on them to put VI
money for him, they would still be
shooting off their mouths. 1t makes
us tired to hear them tell how Dinsdale
won easily. If they want to bet theiI
money he can win in the next fight
they are welcome to our money. All
we want is a fair field and no favor
and we will know after it's all over
who is the best man. Barring acct
dents, 1 will be at The Spy office Wed
nesday at 2 o'clock. / wish Mr.. King
to understand, we want a say in regard
to the division of the purse. a divi-
sion of 70 and 25 per cent is fair to
both"
1t is fortunate for Dinsdale that Mr..
King took him up to match him
against Rosenberg. The Worcester
lad certainly wants to box, and has no
e 1, ,h n win Neither
has Joe Flaherty, who will train him,
or Mr.. King, who viii back him. If,
however, Dinsdale had waited for any
body else to furnish the money, he
would have to wait long time. The
"bInch" which Mr.. Lambert aptly calls
the men behind him at Cambridge,
would be many moons getting together
$3.50. It takes a whole lot of 81 and
50 collections to make $3.50.
How much confidence Mr.. King has
in Dinsdale was shown by a remark
he made to the sporting editor of The
Spy when the latter informed him of
Mr.. Lamberts desire. He replied, He
can't come any too soon with his 1925,
and YOU might write him to bring $3.50
more. That boy Dinsdale is all right,
and he'll trim Rosenberg easily"
Dinsdale is a winner by boxing for
Mr.. Kings money. The latter has en-

has decided to send him to training
quarters in Paxton, where he can think
Of nothing except fitting himself for the
battle. And. in addition to that, he
has secured Pat Cahil of Newark, n.
l. to help Flaherty second Dinsdale
the night Of the fight. Cahill was the
champion middleweight Of the country
in the amateur class.
Mr.. King wrote w. L. Crowley. man
ager of the Nutmeg Athletic club of
Hartford, concerning the match. He
received Yesterday a letter in which
Mr.. crowley said he could put the bout
an Memorial day. Mr. Crowley said
he could not tell what purse he would
give until tomorrow.
Flaherty will train in Paxton for his
hattie with Billy Tighe, which takes
place at Stamford May Is. He starts
in this week.

DOUGLAS AND DEWEY.
Capt. Charles T. Pratt Throws Light Upon
the License Hold-up-

Capt. Charles r. Pratt sent a letter
to one of the evening papers yesterday
which contains some interesting state
ments relative to the Bay State House
corporation and Manager Frank P.
Douglass.
Capt. Pratt is a stakeholder in the
corporation and declares th$t the fail
ure of the Bay State to get a license
isn't due so much to Frank Douglass as
to Frank Dewey Of this feature of the
situation Capt. Pratt writes as fol-
lows:
"A few days before the hotel meeting
in January, Mr.. Dewey told the writer
that he had a man who was manager
of a hotel in Boston who had backing,
whom he wanted to take the Bay
State house. Now in the Gazette, in
which paper he is a stakeholder, he
says that ne has no such person.
"As a proof that he did want this
man, there is a copy of Mr.. Dewey S
letter to this manager on file at GER
tain liquor dealers store in Worcester
asking this manager to come and take
the house" -..-...- ..-.....-

The Huntoon Valley Strike

Joseph Ward, who spent three weeks
recently in Huntoon valley, has written
for the Bishop Register an interesting
description of that place. Concerning
the mine of the Messrs. Lee and Far
rington, Mr.. Ward writes; The
grade of this rock is phenomenal.
Lots Of it will go $40 a pound, tons
that will go SO, 900 to SIS, 600 a ton are
now on the dump. Anywhere by
breaking the lodges gold a be seen.
Lumps of float n by two feet | found
a mile below the lodges will assay into
the hundreds. Much of the gold is
very coarse. It is by all odds the big
gest thing found on the east side since
BOdie, and may far excel the Rand
hills in richness. If the pay continues
on a horizontal into the main hill above
the dyke without going down a foot,
there are several million dollars there.
The chances favor it going down sew
eral hundred feet, so that its extent
may exceed that of Aurora and Bodie.'
