Victory will depend upon the pitch
ers, and with all Difference TO the vel
known power Of the Boston Red SoX
in this all important department, there
is uniformity OF strength IN the
Yankee hurleIs which is bound 90 make
itself felt. Nick CullOp, who came from
the Federal League, has put the scof-
ers TO blush, Is a sensation, and has
yet 70 lose his first game in the Amer
lean League. Cliff Merkle, the young
stcr from the Waco team of the Texas

ranked high in mis- league. Bob Shaw
key is pitching the best ball OF his
career, and George Mogridge, the left
handler, while he cannot be used as
frequently as the others, is capable Of
first class baseball.
Another caus. for jubilation by the
Yankee fans is the return of Sim Cald-
well to form. Caldwell got off to q
slow start this year, but the hot
weather has worked a change for the
better in him, and he is moving right
along as the fans have been accus-
toned 20 seeing him go. Heating is

work his stars as frequently as other
managers have. The fact that Cullop
did not pitch between June %, when

the third time. was a cause for COM
ment But Nick proved that all pitch
ers must not be worked every third or

But Just as there are a number OF

are a number of breaks between torrld

Sox were out in front, leading the
Boston Red Sox, the ultimate winners,

Dear Aunt Molly:

Dear Aunt Molly:
Christmas is so near and am SO busy finishing up
all the toys, that wonder if you will please bel me.
wish that you would find out what all the boys and
girls in Richmond want me to bring them. There have
been several hard snow storms up here and we cannot
get the mails very regularly, so want you to keep all
my letters down there where can be sure to get them
when come, the night before Christmas will be in
great hurry, but want to see every one. Tell the
children all my helpers are working day and night and
that am pretty busy but will be ready to make my
regular rounds, December a. Don't forget Aunt
Molly, I'm expecting you to be my Richmond he per.
Goodbye until Christmas,
SANTA CLAUS
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1916-12-02

This is the letter just received
from Santa Claus. OF course it has
made us very excited. Since he is
really going to depend on us we
have decided to make the Junior
into Santa Claus sub-station, and
all the letters to him that come in
through the Junior Mail Boxes or
even through the big post office
will be kept in Separate box at
Aunt Molly's desk, ready for Santa
Claus to answer at Christmas time.
And SO, Junior Folks. when you
write your letters either at school
or at home, be sure to sign your
name and full address, and then
tell the thing you want most.
Don't tell SO many things that San
ia Claus will think you are selfish,
because then he won't want to give
you anything, but whatever you
need or want most of all, write
down real plainly. And then we
will turn all the letters over to
Santa Claus when he comes.
But there is one thing we know
Santa Claus would appreciate ever
so much. and that is for you to tell
him about any little boy or girl who
is sick in bed. You know, often
times when you are so happy about
your own Christmas. you forget
some little friend who can't have
as much fun because he is sick. So
this year be sure to remember,
won't you?
Why Juniors, we ought to have
an ideal Christmas this time, but
it will depend half on you. Write
your letters early and give your
full address. and too, remember all
the other boys and girls who can't
write letters for themselves. But
most of all don't forget that from
now on, the Junior Palladium is
your Santa Claus sub-post office,
and that Santa Claus will expect to
lind your letter there.

PRIZE COMPOSITION
A POOR CHILD

Once upon a time there was q
little girl named Mary. She had to
get up at five o'clock every morn
ing and she had to make the liv-
ing. She was sent out at Z o'clock
one morning with a load of
matches. No one would buy any
matches from her. Her father
was bad man and would not work.
She was afraid to 60 home for if
she did her father would whip her.
So she went on. 1t was a cold
winter day. And she was so poorly
dressed that she would light her
matches one by one till she had
lighted them all, by trying to keep
herself warm but could not do it.
So some people found her on the
street frozen to death.-LOuise EN-
