Mother" the Balm
for Every Sorrow

Every day is Mothers day. We
never knew a day without mother,
and thank God, we never shall. Back
as far as memory carries us we find
her. She Is the first person we came
to know. Her face bent oyer the
cradle in which we lay. Her voice
was the first we heard in the morn
ing and the last we heard at night
Az we grew through boyhood and
.girlhood, she raj always there; there
to wipe away the tears, TO pick the
thorns from our fingers, to kiss the
bruises, to mend our torn garments
to cook for us, wash for us, pray FOL
us.
Vixen We left the old home hers
was the last face we saw as VIC turn
ed the bend in the road. She stood
shading her tear-dimmed eyes with
her hand, looking, iooking-and still
praying.
We came back and went again:
She was always mother.
No word exists that can define hel
lit were sacrilege to attempt it. W.
can liken her to nobody and to moth
ing. She stands alone.
Is she still here, as we have always
known her2 Then happy, o n happy
daughter! Is she only a memory;
Then blessed possession. for she ii
still ours. Death cannot take hel
from us. The years are poWerless t.
blot out her image. AS we shall siul
into her long sleep her dear face vii
look into ours.
Her presence and her memory ar

While IN training at DeSota, the
players were given some excellent
workouts in the early games but for
the last several days the weather has
not been of the best for practice and
the men have been doing lighter
work. In the games that were played
with Regina, Canada, and with Crystal
City, the local recruits did some fine
work and several Of them disting-

NEW YORK, April 9.-As the

shut out habit appears to be growing
on them while the Athletics again
tumbled to defeat by having an eight
hand ninth inning rally suddenly pull
ed ON them by the Dodgers. Mud and
rain did not lend much encouragement
to the Giants at Mobile yesterday,
but AL Demaree shut out his old
Southern Association team three to
nothing in seven innings. 1t was the
third straight white-wash the Giants
have administered to Dixie teams,
and they have not been scored on in
twenty-five innings. Three double
plays were pulled OF against Mobile.
The Dodgers and Athletics shivered
through nine innings at Ebbets' field.
making collection of only three hits
each. Young Burning blew up at the
finish Of the Mackian crew, however,
and Brooklyn eased over two runs in
the eighth and one in the ninth which
gave them the edge. Bullet joe Bush

Cheese Champs Today.

Many moons back we had some
spicy remarks to make on the cheese
fight champions Of today. Not ons
word of those remarks is retracted.
On the other hand, this is sequel or
a second volume. Never in the his
tory of the prize ring were there such
passed. Of money diggers and gold
snatchers as are now plying their
tangoing way through the fight clubs
OF the country. And the worse part
Of it is, all Of them frankly admit and
without blushing, that all they care
for is the coin. They care naught for
the 1eers and only little more for
cheers, the latter being slightly favor
ed because they may mean that the
next purse will be larger than the
last one. Willie Richie admits that
he doesn't care a hang for the cham
pionship except that not having the
title would mean smaller purses. It's
the same with Mcfarland. Gibbons.
Kilbans. and Coulon. Richie, clever,
game little fighter that he is, would
rather lose leg or an eye than his
title, IL he could continue to grab the
GOLD with the title and minus the
limb or optic. 1t wasn't like that in
the olden days. Fighters Of the old
school, fought for one or all of three
revenge or living.
And the least Of these in the mind of
the old fighter, was the money, so
long as he had enough to keep the
wolf from the door and buy for his
followers OF course, this thrift bust
ness is great stuff. Far be 1t us to
knock the habit Of saving, but pray,
also deliver US from the cheese champ
who tangoes instead of fights, and
doesn't care a hang for the public, so
long az the purses are big.

German Athletes Encouraged.

German Athletes Encouraged.
Work very much similar to that
being done in France, is today going
on in Germany and Sweden. The
German government is showing every
encouragement, both financial and
moral, to those who are developing
athletes for the Berlin games, and In
Sweden they are using that stadium
they built for the last Olympics as a
practice ground for developing the
Swedish team.
But they have started too Late for
the 1915 games. The United States
has too much of a lead. Witness the
recent amateur indoor championships
held at Madison Square Garden,
where three records were smashed
and several more were equalled. And
be It rememherd that some dozen or
more record" men whose homes are
In the west and middle west. were not
among those present, and who can
be counted on for points in 1915.
Even at that. however, it will never
do to sit back and count the chicks
just yet. That 100000 isn't all sub.
scrfbed, and 100000 is lot OF money.
OF course there are a lot OF mission
ary societies who claim they need
contributions, but there are also
lot of places where money might be
worse spent.
