romantic chapters in the history OF

Between 500 and COO clubs entered
the tournament this season, but II is
not until the weaklings have been
eliminated and the ga survivors OF
the qualifying stages so into the hat
for the first round draw that the ex-

Is about 1925. but each year more
than million people watch English
cup games and more than a million
dollars go to swell the Golfers of the
competing clubs.
The original English cup, alas, is
no more.
In the early days OF the tourney
when the old London Wanderers used
TO farm the national trophy. the play
ers thought so little OF the "old tin
pot" that they used 10 kick il about
the floor during their boisterous cele-
brations OF victory.
When the football association
bought a brand new cup Aston villa
demonstrated its appreciation by
promptly losing it.
An enterprising athletic outfitter OBJ
tanned permission 10 exhibit the tro-
ply in bis shop window in Birming-
ham. In the night burglars visited
the establishment and that was the
end OF the second English cup.
Aston villa officials and the trades
men offered rewards far in excess of
the value Of the cup. but II never
came back.
The hue and cry raised over the
loss Of the soccer trophy so fright
ened the burglars that they con-
signed the precious bauble to the
melting pot almost as soon as it was
carried away.
Detectives had traced the thieves
within q few hours OF the burglary
and they even went so. far as to
promise that nothing more would be

A Mighty Good
 Fish Story

George 1idsell of Sparrowbush, \. J., returned from trout fishing with Q basket filled with 'speckled beauties" weighing half pound each. His friends quizzed him as to where he caught the fish, so ev- en in size, and how.
 Well, you see, last summer was at the brook during huckleber- " time and was carelessly throw ing some of the berries into the water and was surprised to see trout rise and eat them.
 II ran across a piece Of wall paper the other day having huckle- berries printed on it. 1 went to the brook and pasted the piece of wall paper on a rock just above a pool. Soon the pool was full of fish. They eyed the beautiful clusters of huck- lebe1ries with mouths watering.
 It don't take long for trout to begin athletic jumps to get the berries and as fast as they jump for the luscious clusters and were stunned by the contact with the rock picked them up and put them in my basket until it was fill ed.
