THE RIVER OF DREAMS.

The river Of dreams runs silently down
BY a secret way that knows:
But the soul lives while the dreamtide flows
Through the gardens bright, or the forests brown
And I think sometimes that whole life seems
To be more than half made Up OF dreams.
For its changing sights, AMI its passing shows.
And its changing hopes, and its midnight fears,
Are left behind with vanished years.
Onward, with ceaseless motion.
The life stream flows 10 the ocean.
And we follow the tide, awake asleep.
Till the dawn loves great deep.
Then the bar the harbor mouth Is crossed
And the river Of dreams IN tho Is lost

COL. ROGERS THINKS
HE KNOWS THE PLACE
Believes the American League Has Sc
cured Beer Garden in New York.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. 51-The
location of the American leagues
grounds in New York has been dis
covered at last, and John 1. Rogers
says SO.
After studying the statement made
by Ban Johnson some time ago that
the grounds were more centrally To-
Gated than the Polo grounds, that the
dimensions were 460X500 feet, with a
street running through it, and that the
American league could not sell beer on
the grounds, several other National
league club owners and myself" said
Mr.. Rogers, "Set forth to find the
grounds, and we think a good guess
would be Suffers beer. garden This
lot runs from One Hundred and
Twenty seventh to One Hundred and
twenty eighth Streets and from Sec
ond avenue eastward to First avenue
and the Harlem river. A curve in the
river shortens the north end of the
grounds. Adjourning the beer garden
is a lot which runs from One Hundred
and Twenty-seventh to One Hundred
and Twenty-sixth street, which has 500
feet Of frontage on One Hundred and
TWenty-sixth street. This is the
grounds, believe. the American
league has purchased. Each Of the lots
has 200 feet frontage on Second avenue,
which with the 60 feet of street,
would make $50 feet, which agrees
with Johnson's statement The
ground is nearer the center of the city
than the Polo grounds and the Ameri-
can league can not sell liquor on it
because that right is reserved by the
Suffers"

Believes the Former Champion Would

TOLEDO, Ohio, Dec. 31.-Rev. F. D.
Kelsey, pastor of the Central Congre-
gational church, of this city, who ap-
peared at the Salvation Army dinner
Christmas on the same platform with
Mayor Jones and Pugilist James J.
Corbett, has a high opinion of tGentle-
man Jim" as a man and citizen, and
expressed himself as follows "Corbett
is certainly man of fine intellect, as
well as of finely developed muscle. He
made one Of the most sensible, COM
nonsense speeches ever had the
pleasure of listening to. Corbett talked
right to the point, and never once wan
dered away from his subject. His
style of speaking is true indication Of
the mans character. He is direct in all
he says. He wastes no time in beating
about the bush. He lands right in the
middle of his subject the first sentence
he utters. If he fights like he talks I
can we'll understand why he is SO clev-
er in what they term pugilistic science.
Corbett is man of brains. He showed
good judgment in all he said. He
praised the work of the Salvation
Army in his own happy style, and told
some good stories, which fitted in per-
fectly and showed his remarkable good
sense. enjoyed the speech, and SO did
every one else who heard him. Cor
bett, in my opinion, would make good
lawyer, as he is keen, perceptive, quick
Witted, and has an easy flow of words
and splendid command of language"

SAM HARRIS WILLING
TO MANAGE MUNROE
Would Give the Miner a Part With the
"Road to Ruin" Troupe.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3f.-Sam Harris,
manager Of Terry McGovern, believes
that Jack Munroe, who stayed four
rounds against Jim Jeffries, would be
a great drawing card on the stage, and
has offered the miner pugilist $500 a
week to appear with either Of his COM
panies, THE Road to Ruin" or 'HThe
King of Detectives
Harris says if Munroe will accept his
proposition he will find a small part
for him in one of the companies, but
the feature of MunroeS appearance,
Harris asserts, will be to demonstrate
how he knocked down Jeffries. Harris
will engage some big, husky fellow, like
Ed Dunkhorst, "the human freight car
to stand up before Munroe's blows.
Harris also ayers that he is willing
to take Munroe under his management
and match him against Jeffries in a
tWenty-round bout for the champion
ship of the world. If Jeffries refuse to
tight MunrOe, Harris says he will is
sue def to Fitzsimmons, Rubin,
Sharkey or any other heavyweight who
is anxious to cross arms with the Butte
slugger.
Il have great faith in Munroe," said
Harris today, "and with good handling
believe he would be the worlds cham
pion within year. I see that a Boston
vaudeville association has made him an
offer of $500 week to deliver a mono
logue nightly and to show how he floor
ed Jeffries. 1 will go the Bostonians
800 better, and will offer to take care
of him if he desires to arrange any
matches.
II expect to hear from Munroe some
time next week, and if he agrees to
come here intend to bring The Road
to Ruin" to this city and have Munroe
give his exhibition"

COACH WILLIAMS, OF
PENNSYL
OBJECTS
Eastern Football Instructor
Opposes Any Change in
Rules of the Game-De-
clares Cutlery About Bru-
tally Is Much Exagger :
ated.

NEW YORK, Dec. BIN the face
of attacks made by several college
presidents against the present system
of mass plays In football games, DR..
Carl Williams, head coach Of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania eleven, has
come out as a strong advocate of this
style of play. DR.. Williams declares
work harm to the game.
1T would be a serious mistake to
eliminate concerted attack" says DR..
Williams. ITO do so would be to de-
prive the game of it's distinctive char
acter and to seriously impair, if not
ruin it. The outcry about brutality is
much exaggerated. The present regu-
lations reduce the chance of smuggling
or roughing to a minimum. The bru-
tality is in the man, not in the rules.
If player wants to be brutal he will
be in any style of attack.
The American game would soon de-
generate into something similar to the
English game If the rules should be
changed. English football is only a
preparatory game, not calling for the
strategic skill the Americans have
gradually developed.
TN the American game weight and
strength are not the sole requisites.
Never before were speed, agility and
the power of quick thought SO essential
to the successful player. Often a light
er player is preferred to a heavier one,
because he is less clumsy, keeps his
feet better and is quicker to profit by
openings in the opposing defense"
Changes Not Expected.
DR.. Williams does not believe that
this agitation will result in any
changes in the rules. There has been
no marked increase in fatalities, he
says, and he thinks he is warranted in
saying that the only players who got
seriously hurt are members of the
smaller college elevens, who have not
received proper. training, and hence are
not able to stand the seventies of the
game.
1t is absurd, in his opinion, to as
sumo that the authorities of the various
universities could successfully revise
the rules, for they are men who know
little about football, and what they say
is mostly hearsay. He says that few
instructors have any objection to the
game as it is played today
