IS LIFE WORTH LIVING
Yesl life is worth living. it is a grand
N. c. Robbins.

Yesl life is worth living. it is grand
gift,
Sent to us by Gods hand divine,
Twas given for us to do we'll with on
earth,
That we may eternally shine
Amang His bright jewels beyond life's
great Sea,
When our life's work down here
shall be done,
We will then reap the harvest and
sweet II will be
If our race has been faithfully run.
Yes life is worth living, it is a grand
thing,
To live to His honor and glory.
To walk in His footprints each day
that we live,
And tell to the world the old story
Oh, yes there is work for each one
that is here,
A work that will lift us above,
The small things of life its worries
and cares.
And flood every hour with His love.
Yes life is worth living-just stretch
forth your hand
And rescue those drifting away
You can help bear the sorrow of
them that would faint
Treath the burden and heat of the
day.
You can lift up the fallen the sinner
can lead,
In the pathway of truth and of light
Can scatter the darkness away from
some life,
And teach them that earth can be
bright
Yes life is worth living. 'tis a thing
we should prize,
Twill grow brighter each step OF
the way,
If we cheerfully take up the crosses
And work till we reach perfect
day.
Oh then we will realize life has beer
grand,
When to US our crown have beer
given.
Twill recompense us for the trials
of earth
When we dwell in the courts O.
high Heaven.
Yes life is worth living, don't faltel
and faint,
Because in your path there's a
thorn,
The thorns will grow less the light
will dawn.
And 10y will come to you at morn
So don't be a coward, look aloft ant
be brave,
The Master, He Surely will send
Reward-to the faithful ones founl
in the ranks,
That has fought and endured to tn
end. o

YOUNG PITCHERS
NOT STARTED RIGHT
Old Method of Breaking in
TwirIerS Better Than
Present Day Practice
ANSON FED CHAPS
BEFORE WORKING THEM

The present way of handling
pitchers-I mean of course, the way
of breaking in young pitchers-is all
wrong" says the veteran Jack Doyle,
who caught for the Browns when
Charlie Comiskey was managing Won
der Ahe's team "I may be mistaken,
of course, but in my opinion. the
system now followed by all the big
league managers is absurd. IL is now
the invariable custom, when a major
league team secures a junior wonder
from the bushes, TO set him down upon
the bench and tell him TO stop, look
and listen. He is supposed 10 pitch a
little before the game. and then TO
watch the veterans putting them over
and, incidentally, to learn all he can
about the various batsmen and the
inside workings of the fast company
Then, some day when a pitcher has
been pounded. the younger goes in
from the bench and make a sorry
showing. Theoretically of course, this
system ought to be all right The
boy is going to school, as il were, and
receiving the instruction to fit him
| for his business career. But, as a
matter OF plain fact and common
| sense. how about IL?
Your young pitcher comes up from
the brushwood with a sense of sub
/ lime confidence and an unlimited
stock of nerve. Te thinks he must be
good or the big tea mwouldn't have
paid so much money for him. He
| knows that If he could go right in
there and face those big leaguers
he'd show them up; but he doesn't
! get the chance. By the time he has
! been under instruction for a week ol
two he has lost his confidence. He
has had II impressed upon him thai
he is lucky to be alive. He has haC
the merits OF his natural style crit
icised; he has been shown a lot o
stunts. with the best intentions, bu
without the least effect"

FASHION AND FADS
BY Mrs. Maud E. ciIIsy.

Black and white, gray and dull pur-
pies are all allowed for second or half
mourning.
Girls with gowns to their knees are
wearing embroidered stockings in silk
and lisle.
Most of the French frocks of mid
summer character are short enough
to show the instep.
Dotted Swiss is much used this sea
son. II is very striking to have the
dot done in black.
Embroidered chiffon gowns are made
over heavy satin; black over white is
especially smart.
A novelty in hats is to have a diff
ferent color from that of the brim, but
matching in shade.
The black taffeta silk coats quite
/ covered with silk braid are popular
with middle-aged women.
New custom allows any woman TO
whom the fashion is becoming to bare
| her neck for every waking hour.
Piorrot collars to supplement the
low neck and protect the throat on
occasion are in great demand
Beads are to the fore, wooden. satin
and rubber, strung on metal thread
on a gold gauze back ground.
Lovely scarfs are fashioned from
the Persian bordered chiffons and
marquisettes combined with mara

A pretty idea in scarfs is to place
two different colors over each Other
and then edge all around with mara.

WILL GRE DIE
GET STUNG?
(By United Press Leased Wire. }

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
PORTLAND, Dec. 27.-There
is pretty strong suspicion among
Portland fans that somebody
down on the southern end of the
Coast league circuit is trying to
slip a little bundle over on the
Beavers manager, McCredie, in
the matter of securing players
from the big eastern leagues.
1t is notorious that McCredie is
in cahoCts with the Cleveland
Americans and whenever he wants
a good man to bolster UP his ag-'
gregation, he sends wire to
Charlie Somers, the Nap magnate.
Charlie gives him anything he
wants within reason, but of course
Charlie has to get permission
from the other major league clubs.
This is what is called the waiver
rule.
A telegram from Soers has just
been received here which says
that the New York Highlanders
have refused to waive on two
players that Cleveland intended
turning over to McCredie. The
message does not state who they
are, but undoubtedly Somers
means Peckingpaugh and Doane.

HAGEN TRAINING
HARD FOR FIGHT

Ed Hagen is rounding off
hard siege of training for his bout
with Jack Lester at Dreamland
rink Thursday night, and his sup
porters are ready to back him as
strong as before he was beaten by
Lester a while ago.
According to Lonnie Austin, Ha-
gen trained but little for the other
fight, and that probably accounts
for his weak showing at the end
of the fight.
Two preliminaries have been ar
ranged. Charlie Parker and Jack
Mace, heavyweights, will box eight
rounds, and Eddie Shannon and
Young Phillips will go for eight.

Oak Park Team Fast.

Oak Park ran its plays like a
clock. Wenatchee floundered
around aimlessly. That tells the
whole story of the conflict.
Oak Park also showed some
brand new tricks ON the gridiron
and it was the concensus of opin-
ion that the Chicago fellows would
make it hard for any of the North
west teams.
Wenatchee just once showed
her spirit. Chicago got the ball
up within a foot of her goal line
and had three downs. But the
Apple Pickers held them and Chi
cago after three trials lost the
bah. Wenatchee seemed scared
most of the time, however, and
Chicago had the team completely
cowed.
Oak Park plays Washington
High of Portland Saturday. Port
land schools are not considered in
it with the Washington teams sc
the visitors will probably have a
picnic there.
