DECEMBER

December frost has swept the felds
And touched the blinded sheaves,
The woodland trees seem desolate
Without their host of leaves.
The insects now have passed away
Some few lie fast asleep,
Just as the frogs, turtles and snakes
Rest in some sheltered deep.
The life that in the summer time
Seemed far too good TO fade,
Looks now as if 'twere really lost
In forest, wood and glade.
Yet when we gaze upon the trees,
What is it greets our eyes?
Indeed It's next years summer green
That in each wee bud lies.
December skies may oft seem dull,
And cold and bleak the air,
Yet her still life cradles the growth
For springtime, sweet and fair.

FRANK MORAN AND DILLON TO
 SIGN ARTICLES

New York June. Tiff Frank Moran is to meet Jack Dillon at all he will have to box him before the Washing ton Park Sports club. Harry Pollok and Jack Cur1ey met Tom O'Rourke and Ike Dorgan by appointment last night at Considine's and for a time 1t semed as if Pollok and Curley would get Moran's manager to sign for an open air bout at the old Fed park in Brooklyn. The men will meet agaln tonight to close the match if possible.
 O'Rourke had an option on Moran s services. and Pollok had Dillon signed to meet at his club. O'Rourke, real1z- ing that he could not get Dillon, running. It is very likely, however, that O'Rourke will have an interest in the bout if it takes place before the Brooklyn club.
 While O'Rourke waited, Dorgan, Pol 1ok and Curley went off to draw up a, set of articles. Dorgan insisted that Pollok must pay as much as O'Rourke was willing to give. Toms bid ran as high as $25, 900. Sam McCracken stepped in yesterday with a bid of s27, ,0oO When Pollok said that his bid was and will be $20,0O0, Dorgan re- treated that he might>hunt out Moran and inform him of the situation.
 Moran was found at the head of a festive board around which were gath cred the newsboys of Times Square. Moran sidetracked the business of be- ing host long enough to tell Dorgan that Pollok must go higher with his bid
