Of that chapter. Miss Emily y. Bissell,
and the national organization took it
up the following year.

Oh, tender tale of old,
Live in thy dear renown!
Gods smile was in the dark---behold
That way his host came down.
Light up, great God, thy word,
Make the blest meaning strong,
As if our ears, indeed, had heard
The glory Of their song.
1t was so far away.
But thou couldst make it near,
And all its living might display
And cry to it, BE herel"
Here, in the unresting town,
As once remote to them
Who heard it when the heavens

On pastoral Bethlehem.
1t was so long ago.
But God can make it now
And, as with that sweet overthrow
Our empty hearts endow.

Oh, make them new for aye;
Speak, unto you a child is born,'

was succeeded by Bill Bernhard.

as the head of the famous Lookouts,
he ran away with the bunting In the

at the buried ace In the hands
of organized baseball.
The Federal League is to have a
club on the North Side, with Joe
Tinker at the head. All right! Or
ganized baseball sits back and
watches developments. If the third
eague is a frost, there is loud guf-
faW. Everybody says he knew 1t
and few real stars wonder how in
the world they are going to break
into the organized game.
But if it is go from the start,
hen watch organized baseball. The
residents of the North Side wake UP
some fine morning and discover that
they have two clubs in their vicinity
where they had but one The Fed
aral is still there. But organized
baseball has thrown another club
into the territory.
Get the idea? If the North Side
nIub begins to cost the SoX and the
Tubs too much money, the Federals
will have competition right at their
door. And you can wager that the
opposition will be the kind that will
hurt, too. Said opposition will be

TO give the third league club Il run
FOR its life.
IT may be a loser But organized
baseball will be called upon 20
pocket the loss. And when that is
prorated it won't amount to so much
at that.
The scheme is under consideration.
Even the league which will produce
the team has been discussed. Ii s
gone further than that, and the team
in the league has been considered
More than that, baseball men have ar
idea that Gunther Park could be Sc
cured as a site for the fight.
1t may be the Minneapolis clEu
which will be brought into this vi
entity to give battle to the FederaIs,
or it may be the St Paul team. Both
are of the American Association.
Here is the scheme. Surprising th2t
he Federal is a go from the start and
it becomes evident that the third team
is going to cut into the American and
National League club. There's q

Of baseball that the third league does.
The practical baseball man knows
that the fan does not care a great

That's the, ace in the hole. and the

r. hot accept Gunboat Smith
as the real thing among the
white heavyweishts of the day,
the Gunner can claim the honors
for little while at least. Luther
McCarty was the last man to hold
clear deed to the title, and as
Pelky was the last man to bat
tie him, he had as good a claim
to the title as anybody. Now
that Smith has disposed of Pelky,
man thought to stand in the Gun
boats way in the least is Jess
Willard, and only last August
Smith defeated him in d twenty
round battle out on the Pacific
coast.
THERE'S one admirable thing
1 about Smith that should en-
dear him to the fight fans. He
has the punch and isn't afraid to
use it. He is aggressive and
fights all the time, although the
accounts of his battle with Pelky
would indicate that he used more
than his usual amount of caution.
He simply wanted to make sure
of it--that's all.
CHANGING over the field, there
" isn't much in sight in this
country right now for Smith, and
we wouldn't blame Jim Buckley,
his manager, much if he sought
foreign shores for game There
is a nice purse awaiting Smith on

close to a quarter of a million
dollars-can wish to take up the
