BUT LOVES HIM

Myrtle Gibson, White School)
@, dear is'e tired and lonesome
wonder why Mama don't come,
She told me to s'ut up my blues eyes,
-.And fore walked ups ed be home.
+, Sc said sc going to gamma
Sc lives by the river bright
s'pect that my Mama fell in there,
And praps sc won't tum home tonight
dess I'm afraid to stay up here,
Wivout any fire light
But Dod's lighted the lamps up in heaven,
see EN- all twnkine and bright.
fink I'll go down and meet papa,
spose he has stopped at the store,
It's great pity store, full of bottles,
Wish he wouldn't go there any more.
Sometimes he is sick when he comes home
And he stumbles and falls up the stair;
And once when he coined in the paror
He kicked at my poor little chair.
And Mama all pale and frightened
And hugged me up close to her breast
And called me her poor little Blossom
And-dess I've forgotted the rest.
But remember that papa angry,
His face was so read and SO wild,
And remember he striked at poor Mama
And hurted his poor little child.
But loves him and dess I'll go find him.
Maybe he'll come home with soon
And then it won't be dark and lonely
Waiting for Mama to come
Out into the night went the baby,
The dear little blossom fair;
With eyes that blue the morning
And halo of golden brown hair
Out into the night went the taby
Her little heart beating with fright,
Till the tired feet reached the gin palace
All radiant with music and light.
The little hand pushed the door open
Though her touch light breath
The little feet entered the portal
That leads but TO ruin and death.
Away down the long floor she pattered
- The pretty blue eyes opened wide,
Till she sped in corner her papa.
And the tiny feet paused at his side.
"Oh, papa" she cried as she reached him
And her voice lippled out sweet and clear
Il thought it could would find you,
And am glad is here
The lights are so pity, dear papa,
And fink that the musics sweet
BatI dess it's most supper time
For Blossom wants something to eat.
moment the beared eyes gazed wildly
Down into the face sweet and fair,
And then the demon possessed him,
He grasped at the back of chair.
A moment and second-'tWas over,
The work of fend complete
And the poor little innocent blossom
Lay bleeding and crushed at his feet
Then swift the light came his reason,
And showed him the deed he had done,
With a groan that the devil might pity,
He knelt by the quivering form.
He pressed the pale face to his bosom,
He lifted the fair golden head;
A moment the baby lips trembeld,
And poor little Blossom dead.
Then in came the law so majestic,
And said that for this he must die;
That only fiend or mad man
Could have murdered child in that way,
But the man who had sold him the poison 81
That made him a demon of hell,
Why-he should be loved and respected
Because he was licensed to sell

Special Dispatch to The Star
AUGUSTA. Ca. March 13.-Efghteen
hits IN sixteen innings. the record OF
the Regulars for the two games yester-
day, is by no means a bad showing for
the first games of the year. especially
considering they were garnered on
Craft, Humphries, Thomas. Jameson
and Dumont, all Of whom are In good
shape.
Shanks had the best record for tho
day with a triple and two singles out
of six times at bat Eddie Foster went
hitless in the opener. but got one IN the
second encounter; just the reverse was
true of Leonard. Clyde Milan. Smith,
Rice, Mcbride and Charity each got
two safeties, and the latter was at bat
but four times. The mark of the sec
ond team suffers by comparison. Seven
was their total of hits for the day and
none got more than one.
Ayers and Thomas showed the best
form in the box. Not man reached
first on Ayers, nothing resembling a
base hit being made off his delivery.
One hit was made off Thomas. who
pitched three innings in the morning.

man.
Mike Moran played short in the aft
ernoon game, in place of Crane, and
acquitted himself creditably at bat as
well as in the field. taking care of six
chances. Crane was sent to left in the
afternoon game. His fielding record at
short was good despite the error
chalked up against him, but he failed to
accomplish anything with the stick,
tanning twice and popping up his other
four times at bat.
The weather was nearly perfect and
Manager Griffith was elated by reason
of it.
amassed in eight innings by the second
team (Yannigans), the feature of yes
terday afternoons 2-to-2 game was the
umpiring of Manager Griffith. 1t must
be said in all justice that most of his
decisions were good but what bad ones
he did render very very, very bad.
Menosky got on in the seventh on
F1ahertys tumble. stole second and
took third on a wild pitch. He scored
when Moran drove the ball over Smiths
dome in left. 1t was a clean double in
any league, but Smith got the ball back
to Leonard just as Moran hit the dirt
and slid two feet beyond the bag where
Leonard tagged him. Griff called him
Yannigans had been badly beaten in the
morning and were one run behind at
the time.
But it was in the eighth that Griffith
did his best" work. Altrock essayed to
pitch His first heave went over Aim
smiths head, but was strike because
Griffith so ruled. 1t was then Sam Rice
referred to Griff as ollie Chill the
second" John Henry hit the next one
on the nose to left for two bases. Alt

to make him look bad. Dumont got
clean single to right, sending Henry to
third, from where he scored the tying
run on Moryan's sacrifice fly.
Shank's triple and Morgan's error
gave the regulars their first run. The
second was the result Of Gharrity's 8
single and Flaherty's mighty wallop to
right center 1t was such'a long hit
that Charity scored from first, but
"Flayherrity' is no Bernie Wefers, and
he was tagged at second by Moran on
Menosky's relay from H. Milan.

TRACK PLEA AT HARVARD.
Lack of Candidates Results in Re
cruiting Movement.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. March ia
movement to arouse interest in track
sports at Harvard has been started by
leading undergraduates. In support
of the effort the Crimson. the college
daily paper. pointed out that at the be-
ginning of winter only fifty men re-
ported for the squad and that last
week only twenty of these showed In
terest enough to turn out.
In field events the lack of material
was particularly pronounced, the paper
stated In 1915 Harvard had only one
entry against eleven Yale men in the
shot-put, and the Crimson states it is a
common occurrence to have two or
three Harvard men against ten or
eleven men in the weight events.
In the last four years Harvard has
won only one dual track meet with
Yale. and since 1909 has won only one
intercollegiate meet. With 1000 men
to draw upon, the Crimson expresses
the opinion that the track team should
get the same support as other lines
of athletics.
