 Across life's high financial fences. Old High Cost soaks a lot of us
 Where living prices ne'er diminish, But you can bet the most of us

 The howl runs high and ever

 They soak us every blooming way
 Until the outlook groweth dire: We vail because lifes bleak and

 And yet while troubles hurt and
 fret us,
 We grip our toes in this old sphere
 And stick-until they come and A football championship season lasts six weeks. A golf championship lasts a. week. A tennis championship lasts only ten days.

On Memory's Wall. (With apologies? If you insist-) Of all the horrible pictures That hang on memorys wall Is one of a football battle That seemeth the worst of all; Not for the money wasted,
 Counting the kale it cost, Not that a bleak gale whistled,
 Not that the wrong team lost; Not that the quarter fumbled
 Four punts while I madly cursed, Nor the tackles f1ivered and foundered It seemeth to me the worst. I once had little sweetheart
 With eyes that were deep and dark; Unto that game I took her,
 Into that football park; Fleet as the winds of morning
 The halfbacks rushed the ball;
 Loud as the roar of trumpets
 Echoed the cheering call; And heard my heart beat loudly
 As a .tackler hurled one flat, When the dame of my fancy mur-
 mured, ,393@r Swiftly the fullback darted,
 Bringing the tieing score; Wildly the crowd up-started,
 Yelpfng a gladsome roar; Softly there came the whisper,
 Poured in my throb ping ear; ''Why is that poor man running?
 What is a touchdown, dear?' Therefore, of all the pictures
 That hang on memorys wall, That one of football battle,
 It seemeth the worst of all.
 Word comics from McGraw that the Giants won't trade Fletcher for Hornsby. Word follows from St. Louis that the Cardinals won't trade Hornsby for Fletcher. What could be fairer?
