Ger ice-cakes massed with frosty grip:
And longside, in the dusky sheen.
They watched the chill black waters slip.

Beneath the rivers gloomy banks
And where the friendly ferry piled,
They siezed the craft with scanty thanks,
And launched them on the swirling tide :
Through eddies Deep and rapids swift,
They guided sure their precious fleet;
Winding the rock and treaeherous rift,
And creeks where angry currents meet.
No hostile shot disturbed the verge,
Where ghostly woods doomed drear and dark
No voice, except the hounds sad drge
Or far away the VOLTS gruff bark
But sometimes cross the distant Slope
A farmhouse shed its candle ray,
And warmed the wand 'rers heart with hope
Of fireside joys, and freedoms day.
The rivers speech is low and weird
1t bears no tales of deeds long past;
But Bray, ere morning light appeared,
His boats by Malta Island made fast;
And on that famous Christmas night
They bore the heroes DER the tide,
Who broke the spell of Brtans might
And flung the Hessian mob aside

The Ballad of Daniel BRAY.

The Delaware, with stately sweep,
Flows seward as when armies fought;
But they who struck for freedom sleep
Beneath the soil their valor bought,
At Rosemont, inland, Daniel Bray
In lonely grave, with rest hard won
Waits for his countrys voice to say
He brought the boats to Washington
At Trenton lay the Hessian host
Pluming their pride with gay parade;
They thought the freeman's was lost,
And hoped his last brave stand was made
But safe on Pennsylvania shore
The master patriot aimed the blow
Which thenceforth in the nations lore
Would mark oppression overthrow.
To Captain Bray Kngwood height
horseman sped by field and brake
Till on his door, at dead of night,
He knocked and babe the soldier wake
hasty mount, quick farewell
And then miles down the frozen track
Like musket shots the hoofbeats fell
While Mary slept and dreamed him back
Down Stony Batter Hill they Sped
Across Ducks Flat; then up the slopes
To Rittenhouse (where sleep the dead
Their coursers climbed with steader lopes;
The ten-mile creek is left behind
Gboa's slant is swiftly run;
At Coryell's the inn they ind
And, waiting them great Washington
"
That hour Bray heard his general say:
Seize all the boats from Easton down,
And guard them safely by night and day,
Tp+;xu ol>o +lo
The echoes of a noble voice
HE'D with him from that meeting place;
Praise made the soldiers heart rejoice
And spurred his zeal to quicker pace
Ere gray dawn paled Ger Hunterdon,
He ranged circuit twelve miles wide
For brave Gearhart of Pennington,
And Johnes of Amwel countryside.
To shun the Tory's crookedness,
With squads in hunters garb uncouth
They pierced the Jersey Wilderness
From Rngoes to the Lehigh's mouth
Thence downward on the broader stream
They drove by night their project bold,
With but the planets wintry CLEAN
To cheer them in the bitter cold.

The broken lineup of the Bears caused sen

see the struggle which might mean the practi-
cal ending of the hope Of the Bears for the pen
nant Smith. the big spltball pitcher OF the
Bears, who had been held In reserve, was
chosen to pitch. and for three innings the
teams fought for the opening without a real
chance to score The cunning of Clancy was
shown In his choice OF the big pitcher, whose
speed and spitball kept the JaCkrabbit batters
hitting toward right field or sending slow, easy
bounders down toward the pitcher. He had
chosen Smith in order to protect the weakened
third base side Of the inheld, and his plan
worked well until the fourth inning, when Egg

sprinters, hit a spitball on top and sent slow,

Clancy Asks Questions.
THE disappearance and dramatic reappear-
l ance Of Swanson and Kennedy, who
released from the hospital after the game. was
the sensation Of the country for twelve hours;
then it was paled into insignifcance by new
sensation that caused a wave Of indignation
and an insistent demand for proof from all
parts of the country and left the Bears dazed
by the series of events that crowded upon
them.
The second sensation was the printing Of an
article in of the foremost papers Of their
city in which the charge was made that one
member Of the Bear team had been bribed;
indeed had been put on the team with the sole
end that he might throw games and force the
championship upon the Panthers. The writer
declared that he was In possession Of the facts,
and that his authority was of the highest, vet
he refrained from using names. He stated
that the player had Joined the team under un.
usual circumstances; that his record was un-
known and that he was under suspicion Of
being a ringer" II limited darkly that the
player had been discovered and tried out by
the Panthers and then, under secret instruc-
tons from the Panthers, had been sent to join
the Bears and make the Panther victory Ger.

The printing OF the article created a furore
which caused the public to forget the mys-
terious circumstances surrounding the disap-
pearance of Swanson and Kennedy The
writer a reporter of long experience in
new to baseball. He did not understand, when
he wrote the article, the wave of indignation
and anger that would follow its publication.
Although no name was mentioned, the facts
set forth fitted only Mccarthy. the new third
baseman and rallied all the admirers of the

a storm OF anger and suspicion directed upon
him by those who criticised his playing or op.
posed him through prejudice.
Manager Clancy, after anxious evening
and night trying to get at the facts of the
case of Swanson and Kennedy, and getting
kennedy out of the hospital was the first OF
the Bears to see the new attack. He read the
entire article from end to end, crushed the
newspaper into tight roll, and going to his
apartment he telephoned for Mccarthy Swan

his rooms at once. The players, summoned
