"VHE sun hath shed It's kindly light
Our harvesting 10 gladly DER.
Our fields have felt no killing

Our bins are nlled with goodly
store
We feel that mad our merits been
The measure Of thy gifts to US
We, erring children. born Of sin.
Might not now be reioicisg thus
No deed OF ours hath brought US grace.
When thou vert nigh our sight was dull
We hid In rembling from thy face.
But thou. o God. vert merciful.
Thy mighty hand DER all the land
Hath still been open TO bestow
Those blessings which our wants demand
From heaven. whence all blessings fow.
Thou hast, with ever watchfui eye
Looked down on us with holy care
And from thy storehouse In the sky
Hast scattered plenty everywhere.
Then lift We up our songs OF praise
To thee. o Father. good and Kind.
To thee we consecrate our days
Be thine the temple Of each mind
With incense sweet our thanks ascend.
Before thy works our powers pail.
Though we should strive years without

We could not thank thee for them all

MINORS FATE IN
MAGNATES' HANDS
National Board Of Moguls to Meet
Tomorrow

New York. Jan. 1.-The annual
meeting of the National commission
in Cincinnati tomorrow is likely to be
the most interesting affair of it's kind
The august baseball body, will be be-
sieged by a score of Glass AA minor
leaguers, who will clamor for the
elimination of the draft.
AS far as the minor leaguers are
concerned, their case already is
squelched, as Ban Johnson of the
American league has announced that
the draft will not be lifted from the
Glass AA minors. President Tener
of the National league holds similar
views.
It seems certain that the commits
sion will do something to help the.
minors, and Charley Ebbets' draft
plan will likely be adopted. The
American league opposed this plan a
year agu. but it is believed Johnson
will withdraw bis opposition to it,
and if Johnson says the word his
league will pass it.
What will interest major league
fans, more than the minor league
question is the remedies the commits
sion will suggest for the conduct of
worlds series. Both leagues took
action on the worlds series at their
last meeting. The American league
as usual showed it was closer to the
pulse of the public. The National
| league recommended that the players
, pot be divided among the players of
the entire league while the American
league announced no club in it's cir
cult would be permitted to charge
more than double the regular price
for any worlds series games.

Another Viewpoint.

Sir: In regard to the stand taken
by number of sporting writer's
against Les Darcy for his failure to en-
list, or for his act in running away
from his country at critical period,
I think this mistake has been made
who can look for any great degree of
mentality, patriotism or refined cour-
age among the average lot of prize
fighters? Darcy is being judged upon
the grounds Of craftsmanship, where
as there is practically no sportsman
ship in the fighting game, either from
the managers or the fighters them
selves. One may like the fighting
game and yet be forced to admit that
it's representatives are Of a very low
order. It Is my opinion that Darcy
should be, judged in this country not
as a citizen but as an average prize
fighter, no better and no worse than
any of the others-counting out the
few exceptions. RlNGSIDER.

NOTED BILLIARDIST DIES
Poggenburg One OF Stars in Billiard
World Succumbs to Bright's Dis
eaSe-Death Unexpected.

New York, Jan. il. Ferdinand
Poggenburg, one of the foremost fig
ures in amateur billiards in this coun-
try died from acute Brights disease
at o'clock yesterday afternoon at his
home, 1854 Briggs avenue, the Bronx.
Mr.. Poggenburg was apparently in
good health as recently as last We'd
nesday, when he played practice bill
lard match at Days Academy in
preparation for the national cham
pionship at Boston. Thursday he was
He was seriously i'll and sank rapidly.
He was 81 years old having been born
in this city December 10, 1865.
His death takes from billiards one
Of it's most enthusiastic supporters.
Several times he held the national
amateur championship, and the
browning victory Of his career was in
February, 1912, when he won the
American international championship,
the trophy representing this being
now housed at the Liederkranz club,
of which he had been a leading men,
Der for years.
After winning this tournament
Mr.. Poggenburg went to Paris as the
representative of the National Asso-
citation Of Amateur Billiard Players,
to compete in an international tourn-
ament there He was unsuccessful in
his quest for this trophy, but his rec
ord was highly creditable. His grand
average was 1881, second only to that
of Alfred Mortier, who won the
tournament. One of Poggenburg's
greatest games was played in this
tournament against Mortier. He made
early runs of 1876 and 112, and at one

victory almost assured. Mortier
snatched it from his grasp by running
out the game with a string of 178.
the highest run that has ever bee,
made in an amateur tournament at
1872 balkline.
Mr. Poggenburg played his first
amateur tournament in 1896 at Maur-
ice Days academy when that was To-
Gated in Brooklyn. This. however,
| was far from being his start in bill
lizards. He had long before taken up
the game under the tutelage of Maur-
ice DAILY and Thomas Gallagher and
/ was a leader among the billiard men
at the Liederkranz club. In 1898 he
won the gold cup, which was then
emblematic Of the amateur cham
pionship. This was under the A. A.
U. In 1899 Mr.. Poggenburg fought
I the control of Billiards by the, A. A.
! U. and was instrumental in forming
the National Association of Amateur
Billiard Players, which is now the
governing body in the sport. From
the first he gave much of his time and
energy to promoting its interests and
for years held place on the execu-
tive committee.
Mr. Poggenburg first won the anna
teur championship under the auspices
of the billiard association in 1905.

New York, Jan. Since his ar
rival here, a little over week ago,
James Leslie Darcy, the Australian
champion, has been accorded re-
ception which would tend to convince
an uniformed bystander that the
new ARRIVAL was a monarch from
some faraway land rather than a
mere ring general. But there may
be, and doubtless are, more serious
matters facing Demon Darcy. Some
thing of serious proportion con-
fronts him in his quest of the famed
New Britain herald., 1917-01-01
The Darcy Viewpoint.

The idea in general as we understand
it, is not so much that Darcy should
be bounded out of the country as it
is that he should not be taken up as
any conquering hero.
It was his privilege to stay at home
and not enlist. But it is hardly the
privilege of any citizen to hide out
and slip away from his country when
its existence is at stake.
1t might very we'll be that a number
of those criticising the Australian
would not enlist. But neither would
most of them, with enlistment
threatened, duck from the country.
Which is another angle.
