MY OLD HOME TOWN."

There's little town a nestlin'
In the bosom of the hills,
That keeps green within my memory
And which subjects me to thrills
Of pride beyond expression,
Beyond wealth or reknown-
It's the place that was born in;
lis my Old Home Town"
| can call myself a traveller.
For I've been around the world;
And I've been in every country
Where our banner is unfurled;
But there is 10 earthly country
On which the sun goes down,
Cen ever hold a candle
To "My Old Home Town"
No matter where | wander,
! get lonesome now and then,
And, | feel n sort O. hankering
For the haunts Of fellow men,
And IN dreams ! see the homestead
With the sunlight filtenng down,
And it makes me kinder lonesome
For my Old Home Town"
You may talk about your India
That kipling raved about,
Or, sing of Bonnie England,
OF which the "Tommies" shout;
Take me to dear Old Pulaski,
And when you set me down,
III surely come running
To my Old Home Town"
Some day III stop wandering.
And settle down to rest
In one spot that keeps "A calling
Far louder than the rest.
In Gods Acre meath the daises
With each waving, smiling crown
A swaying in the breezes
OF my Old Home Town"
CHORUS.
'Tis my Old Home Town"
lis the place where ] was born;
And il nestles on the hillside
Midst the fields Of yellow corn.
And each night ask a blessing
Before | lay me down.
On everyone who lives there
In my Old Home Town"

The City of Lancaster is again facing
a water famine. 1t is plainly demon
srrated by this season that the adj
ditional work done upon the dam at the
Lake a few years ago has proven Of
little value. The water works plant
should have been located at the river.
but 1t is too later to remedy the error
and the only thing that the City can
now do is by building additional lakes
to furnish the deficiency in water
caused by the leaks that seem TO be
growing larger in the present water

EMPIRE CITY TRACK
FOR RUNNING MEETS

New York, Jan. 1--Change In control
Of the Empire City race track means the
elimination OF New York from the har-
ness racing game, except for the matt
nee races on, the Harlem River Speed
way. Even that is threatened with ex-
tinction, as one of the assemblymen from
an uptown district proposes legislation al
Albany which will open that driveway
to automobiles. Should that move be
successful. New York will be without a
speedway on which the harness horse
can be driven for sporting purposes.
Mineola Is the one spot left in the met
ropolitan district where there is a good
dirt track. unless New York horsemer
care to 60 to the Weequahic Park track
in Newark. the track at Hohokus or the
more remote tracks at Monroe, Goshen
or other suburban points.
James Butler, once an owner of har-
ness race horses, has been weaned from
his first love in horsehesh and has gone
over to the thoroughbred. He controls
Empire City track. and what racing is
done there hereafter will be by thor.
oughbreds.

Bout with Ted Lewis.

New York, Jan. Jimmy Johnston is
trying to land Packey Mcfarland for a
bout with Ted Lewis at the Garden. There
seems to be little likelihood of such a
match in the immediate future unless
Packey comes down somewhat in his
self-appraisal. Mcfarland asks only
$1,000 for ten rounds. with Lewis.
Il will accept $1,000" Mcfarland told
Johnston over the long distance phone

that entire sum to Mayor Mitchell to be

countered Johnston, and will bet you
$4,000 on the side. You can do what you
please with my SIS, 5,Oo0-provided you win
it-and no questions will be asked. But
as to handing you $4,000 for ten rounds,
young man. why, you are barking up the
wrong tree"
That is Just where the proposed Nc
Farland-Lewis match stands. Packey al

man. Perhaps he will shade his terms

JAKE AHEARN Wins
FROM CHAMP MCCOY
Middle-weight Titleholder Is Given Sc
we're Trimming in Ten
Round Battle.

New York. Jan. Al Mccoy, the Joe
Grim of champions. still retains his
middle-weight crown. The poor old
title-holder fought Jake Ahearn this
afternoon at the Broadway Club and
Jake handed him the trimming OF his
sweet young life.
For thirty minutes Ahearn whaled
Mccoy around the body and whaled him
so numerically that 1t didn't seem
possible for a human being to stand
UP under the gam. When the shamb BILE
was finished Mccoy still wore his old
familiar smile and was slightly wobbly
in his under pinnings. But he still re-
tained his crown, and that's all he
cared about.
Ahearn used up every ounce OF
strength to wrest the old bauble from
AIS dome. He hit and hit and hurt,
but could never even shiver the cham
pion's head. The showing of Ahearn
demonstrated that he's in At shape to
tackle Mike Gibbons the middle of this
month in st. Paul. Ahesrn never missed
a blow and shot them over with tellin g
force, but he was banging away at a
malleab BILE iron person.
II Ahearn can hit Gibbons half as
ofter-as he did Mccoy today he will
have the st. Paul phantom jumping
over the ropes.

DEMANDS FIRST-CLASS
PASSAGE FOR AMATEURS

New York. Jan. 1.-Unless the Idra-
etaforeningen Sprata Club of Denmark
guarantees first-class transportation and
treatment to the American amateur bat
tiers they invited to participate in tour
naments to be held in Copenhagen,
Stockholm and various other cities in
Europe during March, the A. A. U. will
not sanction their going.
Danes have assured the Americans
that they would give them first-class
treatment, but would only allow them
second-class transportation. The A. A.
U. officials believe that first-class treat
ment all around should be accorded the
battlers.
The New York Athletic Club, which
has spent considerable money in foster
ing amateur sports, is willing to aid the
Danes in defraying the expenses il they
will assure the fighters irst-class pas
sage on the boat and trains in Europe.
The Winged Fist organization will stage
a boxing tournament at its clubhouse to
help defray the expenses of the battlers.
The Fifty-ninth Street Club will spend
$3.50 to bring william J. l'Hereaux, the
international heavyweight, from Cali
fornia, and John Karpinski, the inter
national lightweight, from Cleveland, to
this city to fight in the tournament.
