able man to the team. He has the head
for the outfit and also does the kicking
His position is halfback, but he has
been switched to the end of the line

The best ground gamer that the
Brookiyns have is Herbert Isaacs who
fills the position of right half. He is
a big. powerful fellow and fast on his
feet. Miller of the Cogswell team is
a good ground gamer, but his strong

Mrs. KID Mccoy Gets
An Absolute Divorce

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.--Justice Platzek
in the supreme court today signed an
interlocutory decree Of divorce in favor
of Mrs Lillian Estella Ellis Selby
against Norman Selby, known to the
pugilistic world at kid" Mccoy. Mrs
Selby charged Sher husband with a
statutory offense.
Mrs. SeIby was the widow Of Edward
c. Ellis, also known as BUD Ellis,
son of the wealthy locomotive manu-
facturer of Schenectady, N Y. Ellis
left her a fortune estimated at $1,000
600, with a part of which Selby en-
barked in the diamond business shortly
after he married Mrs. Ellis.

Bruzzoni was able to recover the bail
and run practically to touchdown.
The handling of kicks also gave the
Centurys their second opportunity to
score, although they made the second
touchdown by a cleverly executed for
ward pass, after the Brooklyn line had
held like a stone wall for two downs
on the 10 yard line. Both teams have
been strengthened and improved CON
siderably since their last meeting. and
unless something unforeseen happens
the game should be a close one On
paper the Centurys have the best of
it as far as individual players are con-
cerned They have some of the best
players that the local high schools have
turned out in the last three or four
years.
At center Moir and Schlam are about
a standoff. Weiben, the new Century
guard, seems to be a good one. He
showed to good advantage in the game
with the Vallejo team, and was in a
great measure responsible for the vic
tory of his team, as he blocked two
kicks and recovered one. He is in the
game all the time and breaks up a
number of his opponents plays. Hamp-
ton, who is also new man on the
team, has all the earmarks of a good
player. He played tackle against the
Winged VS. and was tower of
strength.
The backfield is particularly strong.
as Kiser, Bruzoni and Burns are a hard
set of backs to stop on the offense and
all play great defensive game. Kiser
can back up the entire line alone Burns
is particularly good in the backfield at
handling punts and can. always be re-
lied upon to carry the ball back good

Charles 'Tenney jackson.
For solid grasp of the facts of actual
life and their portrayal at once faithful
and inspiring. this is incomparably the
most full-blooded and vigorous work Of
fiction published in a long. long time.
On the first page we meet John Ar
mold. No trumpet blasts announce his
coming, but he takes the stage by right
Of personality-we know him without re-
ferring TO our programmes-and holds It
till the curtain fails on the final tableau.
During that time we have seen a soul
stripped of its gauds and trappings. its
cheats and shams. its lies and deceits.
We have seen it fight inch by inch to
save its darling sins until finally, beaten
and deserted. it stands alone naked and
ashamed, but unafraid Then, with the
ruins cleared away. a new life of lowly
toll and humble service is begun. but
life assured of its foundations and conf
dent of the ultimate beauty OF its super
structure.
