THE NEW YEAR

What of the King, Old Times New Year?
What of him? Tell us now;
Comes he for good our earth to cheer,
Or hath he scowling brow?
Ask not. ye mortals-be We wise
God holds in hand Times mysteries!
Leave them with God he doeth welIl
Unto your records go,
world, and on their pages dwell;
There learn what It's to know
That they reap more of wheat than tares
Read there of harvests rich and great
BESTOWED on freedoms soil,
In territory and in state,
Choice blessings on the toll
OF l1bertyS industrious sons,
heroes when needed at her guns.
What of the King? Old Times New Year?
He we'll becomes the throne;
His countenance betrays no fear,
The realm is all his own,
He waves his hand and bids us see,
Ger all the land-proSperfty!
Upon our brotherhood of states
United all as one
And free from rivalries and hates,
And fearing foeman none.
He proudly looks upon the scene,
WITH kindly eyes and brow serene.
Now merry joybells loudly ring
Our glorious Union o'eris
And to the winds our banner fling
From East to Western shore,
While all the states unite to sing
Welcome to the New Year King!
-Brainerd Williamson in Cincinnati En-

THE SEARCH FOR THE sALkAHEsT
With flame and crucible and faith,
Within his little cave of stone,
From day to day he works alway
Upon his search alonei
And through the years and years he
keeps
Thus constant to his ancient quest;
And men pass by and smile and say:
He seeks the Alkahest."
The secret is a secret still,
Though age has turned his hair to gray,
But age turns not the constant will
That urged him yesterday.
And still the secret, like the fires
That Ger the meadow marshes run,
Doth lead him famished with desires
Forever on and on
Oh. heart of mani Oh sacred questi
That will not let him pause or stay,
The Holy Grail or Alkahest-
What alters what he seeks alway?
A foolish man, a crazy knight,
These be to those with custom dull:
But they who seek the larger light,
Find here a parable

BY Paul Bartlett

In an effort to strengthen the Ser
aphic forces and help them become a
factor to be reckoned with in the race
for the pennant the management of
the Los Angeles club is dickering with
a crack eastern outfelder who has
seen several years service with big
league company. The worthys name
is still deep, dark and impenetrable
secret but he is declared to be a real
artist in tearing off hits in addition
to being a satisfying performer in the
pastures.
tions made the local magnate look TO
other fields for material TO fill the
aching gap in the batting ranks and
Morley is now satisfied that the nit
wearer in question can be eventually
lured to the orange belt, to the distinct
improvement of the Angels percentage
column standing.
Manager Morley has returned from
his northern junket with some very de-
cided views on the thirty y-five-cent
ball" question. James f. held several
powwows with Hank Harris on the
all important subject and in common
with the Seals manager believes that
ten-cent raise in the price of admis-
sion is absolutely necessary If the Pa
cific Coast league teams are not to be
conducted at a loss this season.
The expected decline in attendance
as consequence of the increased fig
ure has not occurred, and although
there has undoubtedly been sligh'
falling off this has been more than
met by the number of those who die
not hesitate at disgorgng an extra
dime.
There is every indication that this
public recognizes the necessity that has
caused the Pacific Coast league to es-
tablish thirty-five-eent ball 1t is ar
undeniable fact that the patrons OF the
game on the Pacific slope get the ''bie
league" variety, and il the "deai
