SideHghfs on Local
Sporting Talent
BY "Bm MCGOWAN"

K. o. Harry Baker, the local Lao
who has been climbing the ladder Of
the puglistic world. is booked to ap-
pear at the Fairmount Club of Phila-
delphia, tonight.
The Armory basketball teams are
rounding into shape and it is likely
that a league will be formed between
the various companies Of the state.
The Delaware Hardware team
should make a good showing on the
wooden path with such men as Imp
Chadwick. Warren Ecke't. Joe"
Carol, Joe" Greeley and Jimmy
Rainey. This team has placed an
order with n. Snellenburg and Com
pany for new uniforms.
Thus far "Bill' Russell has made
a success Of his Brownson team. The
famous FIVE" has won four consecu-
tive games in hne fashion Some Of
the fastest teams in the East, includ-
ipg several Eastern league teams, will
be seen on Brownson floor in the
near future. Here's luck Bill.
Bobby" Wallace has started train
ing for his next bout before the Fair
mount Club on next Tuesday night
Bobby is training at the Christiana
Athletic Club.
The Parkside football team defeated
Mt. Vernon last Saturday, to 0. This
game practically decided the better
team. as they clashed once before this
season in a scoreless tie. Although
the victory put Parkside a step higher
in local sports, they are not the
amatuer champions of the city, as was
stated in one of the local papers. The
Concord Heights team is the real
amateur champion.
A widely circulated rumor has IL
that Jimmy Murphy. the local fighter.
is dead. For the past six weeks
friends of the little boxer, who dis
played wonderful skill in the art of
hstiana, have made inquiries at the
Office concerning the report It has
been said that Jimmy sustained inter
nal injuries while playing football
with the Belmont team, at Penns-
grove. n. j.. several weeks ago. which
resulted in his death If such IS
true, Murphy is the third boy during
the last two years to be killed in soOt-
ball games with local teams. A
coincidence in the matter is that all
three players were members of the
Belmont team.
The Brownson basketball team.
which always puts up a fast article
of ball, is not receiving the recOgni-
ton they deserve. The wearers OF
the gold and blue are rounding into
the best form OF their careers. The
noted five is also meeting some of the
best quintettes produced by Philadel-
phia. Give the boys a call. fans.
II is seldom that a newly organized
team wins the honors for which all
amateurs strive-the city champion
ship. Well. the Concord Heights
football team accomplished this feat
the past season. The teams success
is largely due to the work of Howard
Mitchell. the coach. This splendid
tutor of the blue and gold is former
Wesleyan University star He played
four years of college football on
Wesleyan at line position He
drilled his men consistently through
out the season. Although the goal
line of the Concord team was cross
ed but once during their campaign,
lit happened in the last game of the
season with Parkside. The east side
boys, however, were given similar
treatment, not having been scored on
during the season. After the game

WHY GROW OLD?
Life Is Only One Third Dying That
Two Thirds May Live.

Dr. Woods Hutchinson. in his book,
Common Diseases, published by
Houehton Mitfiin 81 Co. entertainingly
discusses cid age conditions that will
come to each of us il we live long
enough:
IF we are going to do anything to
cure the disease of old age. we must be-
gin before birth Indeed, as Oliver Wen
dell Holmes wittily remarked on the
prevention of disease. we must begin
with the grandparents The so-called
senile changes are changes which have
been going on ever since we began our
individual existence.
THE time when we begin to feel old.
the particular period at which we be-
gin to show our age. is merely that
period at which these internal changes
have reached and shown themselves
upon the surface; in which, SO TO speak,
these microscopic alterations have I'm
ally become visible to the naked eye.
1T is nothing short of absurd to say
that b man becomes old. cr seniie or In
capab BILE of further development or IN
capable of the conception of new ideas
at or after. any special or particular
age. There is no one period of life III
which we grow, and another in which
we decline. Both processes are going on
side by side in every part of our body
from the day we are born Just as the
life of the body means the -sacrlnce
and the decay of others. Every pr1ml-
tive cell of the embryo lays down part
of it's life to become muscle cell.
nc,rone a blood-corpuscle. or bone
cell.
THE process has no limit an more
than it has beginnings Lite Is JUST
that, one-third dying that two-thlfos

or the hugest and most elaborate bcdy,
While in such gross matters az mere

ual horsepower of our muscles. we
reach a limit period of what we are
pleased to call maturity, at compare
lively early age: yet III other ana more
important respects we continue to grow
and develop steadily, to very mueh
later period-55,60 and even 10 years.
New and valuable achievements. mast
erpieces in every realm of human ac-
tiy;tv and interest, have been produced
hundreds of times in every decade, UP
to ard including the ninth.
1T is obvious then that there is no
hard and fast dead line which can pos
sibly be drawn, beyond which no furth-
er growth, or fresh creative enoft OF

Wives as Supervisors.

II is a good thing for man to
have wif. II ieok after his ingnines
and outcomings enforce resu-
larity in mis- mode of living-to see
that he is clothed according 10 the
requirements Of the temperature, and

meals at stated hours.
The journal Of the American medi-
cal association has compiled Stats
tics on the subject. from which IT ap-
pears that the mortality OF widoweis

slightly higher once more. The eX-
pert of the New York state depart
ment of health is quoted as ebserN-
ing If husbands lose their wives
they lose much of the chance o.
longevity which marriage secured
them; and in general the younger
they are the more they lose.
The married man is more likely
than the unmarried man to avoid
dangerous expeditions of all sorts.
Also he is less likely to court danger
in any form, partly because, in
Bacon's phrase. he feels that his wife
and children gre hostages 10 for

jugal partner stands ready on divers
occasions To admonish him to pru-
dence. The Journal says:
jacques Bertillon, the French eX-
pert on occupational mortality, has
found that low death rates occur par
ticularlv in occupations in which the
workman is under more or less super

also habits of life. and in which he -

prevent dissipation and conducive t.

Bank clerks and fiduciary employees
who feel their responsibilities are

much the same influence to marriage
and family life. The married man Is

Prosperity in Western Canada.

Inc present stlingencV Of money has
proved a wonderfully good thing for
western Canada. II is true that the real
estate spectators have found il most
annoying and that many ambitious mu-
hiclpailtles have been compelled to re-
strain the expenditures they would
have made on perfectly proper and de-
sirable improvements our forefathers,
however. got along without these things
and what they were able to do as a
matter of course we ought to be able
To do as matter of necessity. The
main point is the condition of the basic
structure, and this IL is cheering to
learn from more than one high class
authority, is perfectly sound These as
suranees find full concurrence in the
special reports submitted to the head
office of the Nelson's bank by its
branch managers in the Northwest. and
from other sources fully qualified to
deal with local conditions The latest
dispatches by wire have told of the sat
lsfactory progress being made by the
rapidly maturing crop, and beyond
mention of the fact that these reports
of the bank, now a fortnight old, speak
generally in optimistic tones of the har-
vest prospect, the increase in acreage,
etc, the outstanding feature is the ref
erence contained therein to the finan-
cial position of the farmers at the pres
ent time. There are, of course. excep-
tons, but ticking the reports as whole
1t can be said that the situation is quite
satisfactory.-Mo Montreal Gazette.

Pa hours after Carlson ended his
gruelling run. 1t is only necessary to
quote a mild paragraph from the story
of the race in the Minneapolis Jour-

unreasonable runs. Here it is: Under
