HERE YOU ARE Mr.. SPORT FAN
frankie Burns, Great Bantam
Is Bread Winner of Family

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-Clean
living and an ambition to reach
the top have brought frankie
Burns, the Jersey City bantam,
from obscurity to the vicinity of
championshipsville in less than
three years.
Starting as preliminary fight
er, Burns is now an international
figure. He is. regarded as the
peer of Champion Johnny Coulon,
and his last fight, with the Eng
fish champion, Digger Stanley,
was a draw. The distance, 10
rounds, was not enough to give
either an advantage.
Few boys have faced a mere
discouraging outlook than this
same frankie Burns. Left father
less when five, the eldest of four
other little ones, he has fought a
battle that only the bravest could
have waged. At the age of eleven
he helped his Woodworking moth
er take up the burden, and he has
been a bread-winner ever since.
frankie is a good boy" said
Mrs. Burns. 81 don't know what
we'd do without him. He brings
me his money and | take care of
it for him. No mother ever had a
better son."
If it wasn't for the little boxer,
his crippled sister could not have
had the care of specialists whose
treatment now has her on the way
to recovery. To her frankie is
champion of the world.
Burns had no idea of becoming
a fighter until in some friendly
bouts, back CT a candy store, he
showed enough class to satisfy the
onlookers that he would fare we'll
at the New York clubs.
He started at the Long Acre
club and today counts 25 victories
in his record. He admits Young
O'Leary shaded him once, but he
later squared this, and has beaten
all the boys within five pounds
or his weight, since. In style
Burns recalls Terry McGovern,
rushing and fighting al of thel
time, still with a cleverness that
mystifies his oponents.

Eleanor stood smiling, "if you're
mot careful, you'll spill that wine

what is it in politics that makes
men so interested? Here is Hen

positively eloquent over our indus

Paul, rising from the table, sis
whether Mr.. Sanger believes what
he says"
"Of course not" she laughed.
That's merely Henry's method of
justifying an intended course of

Sanger's eyes narrowed a trifle,
but he laughed and answered in
the heartiest manner.
At least, Mr.. Remington may
be sure that I'm sincere in my
good wishes for him personally.

a few minutes Paul dutifully tried
to fix his attention on the dis

effort and fell to watching her.
He noticed her looking queerly to-

galleries. He followed the line N

But several times during the
service she caught her gaze stray

the gallery and the sweet-faced
woman beside him.
As he was leaving her, Eleanor
said:
"Will you take me to call on
Miss Finn"
"Gladly. I'm sure you and she
will become good friends"

INSURGENCY RIFE
IN LABOR RANKS.

The spirit of insurgency is
sweeping through the whole or
ganized labor movement. If any
one had predicted five or six years
ago that a national convention of
miners would file notice on John
Mitchell to get out of the National
Civic Federation or quit the Unit
ed Mine Workers, it would have
been regarded as a wild prophecy.
Likewise, If anyone had predicted
two years ago that John B. Len

would be defeated as general Sec

position that he held nearly gen.

Many other changes have oc-
CURED recently, showing the trend
of events, and there is just now
drawing to close a contest that
will serve still further as a ba-
rometer to indicate the changing
sentiment in the American labor
movement. For months fierce
struggle for control has been rag
ing in the cigarmakers' interna-
tional union, in which Samuel
Gompers is the most prominent
figure. The election held all over

call to Hope English Lutheran

man with experience as a preach.

cured. He will make his home
here and confine his work to Beach

in the meantime, continue to
serve Beach and will preach here

Wants to Have
a Ball Team

Editor Chronicle:-There has
been some talk lately relative to
a baseball team in Beach this
coming summer and it occurs to
me that now is the time to start
IL we are to have a team.
As assistant manager of the
team last year admit that we
made mistakes, and that there
was some dissatisfaction expressed
with the rway things were hand
led, but l do not think there is
any one who could have done bet
ter than did Mr.. Griffiths, consid-
ering the late start.
We have about $8OO.0O invested
in our park and fence, together
with bleachers. and there is the
sum Of about $a0O. 100 owing, most
of this latter sum being money
which Mr.. Griffiths and l put up
for salaries. For this we. hold the
park property as security, but
would much rather have the cash.
However, we would gladly wait
until next year for it if sufficient
money can be raised to finance a
team and pay this besides.
l think the proper method to
pursue is to form baseball asso.
citation and issue stock. In this
manner we could perfect a per.
manent organization with regular
I officers, and each stockholdel
would have an interest in the
property and also take livelie,
interest in the team than il
money were merely donated.
We have some of the best play.
ers of last years team right here
at the present time-C. F. Smith,
first base; Milton Reed, catcher;
Art Tower. pitcher; Armontrout,
fielder; and Deutschman, short
stop. All of these want to play
here. Then now is the time to
secure the rest before they are
signed up by other teams.

Minstrel Show
Was Success

!. The All-Star Minstrels appeared
to a packed house at the opera
house Monday evening. and the
effort certainly netted the ladies

under whose auspices it was given,
a pretty penny.
The program was lengthy, al
most too much so, but this was
due largely to the numerous en-
cores. All the performers did re-
markably well-in fact, most of
the audience were considerably
surprised to learn that there is
so much talent in the city.
The singers-and there was a
stage full-all appeared under tic-
titious names. so that very few
were able to recognize them un-
der their coat of black. The solos
we're al! we'll rendered, and to
particularize would be an act of
injustice to the others. The chorus
was exceptionally strong and
showed the evidence of careful
training on the part of Mrs. O.
r. Niece, to whose untiring zeal
the success of the entertainment
was mainly due.
The specialties in the second
part were very good, the dancing
stunts of Fuller and Thomas
bringing down the house.
John Baer. the only white face
male artist in the troupe, made
big hit with his cartoons, several
of the out-of-town people in at
tendance refusing to believe that
he is local man.
! The local hits and gags were
rich and got big hands, as is near
ly always the case.
Following the performance
about two hours of dancing was
INDUCED in and was enjoyed by
all the participants.
