Give me you hand! I have
need of it now,
Need as never before;
For the strength that was mine is
utterly gone
A part of my life no more!
have walked through the Valley OF
Dead Desires,
Tasting the dregs of despair;
have sought for sign that should
give me peace,
Sought-but it was not there.
For some there is Faith that illumin-
ates the Path,
For some there is Hope, ever strong,
But the touch of your hand is the
need of NE now
The sound of your voce in song!
Shaken and numb is the soul of me
yet
1t shall triumph, if yours be true;
Brain and hands shall create and build,
But only for you, for you!
And even that apple of dust, Success,
Shall come, if that is your will;
Give me your hand-with the song on
your lips
And the aihe in my heart is still.
All that is worthy in me is yours;
What if my dreams be dead?
Fires of faith still burn in your heart,
Unbowed is your regal head,
Only your love and the light in your
eyes
Can save me from self-defeat.
/ am done with the game but
your calm white soul
Shames mine when ] think of
retreat!
Give me your hand! And the
strength that is there
Shall waken my own anew;
/ can force the fight and win, by the
gods!
But not for myself-for you!

J., will shoot of the rll-around amateur championship trophy Wright halls from Buffa- To, x. Y. Plum is the present cham pioa. He defeated E. l.. Bartlett of Baltimore for the title at the Westy ifogan's shoot. Plum was originally challenged by Henry Powers of Att lantic City, but as Powers could not shoot at Pinehurst, Wright asked to be allowed to take his place. This event will be shot on June Is.
 The events at Pinehurst will be identical with those of last year, tie main events being the prelim- mary and midwinter handicaps. Five thousand dollars in cash and trophies will be given in the va- rlous events. In the two handicap events the shooters will be divided into classes, based on the scores made in the first 800 targets. There will be an equal number of shooters in each class. The trophies for the classes will be the presidents, gover- nors, secretary and captains. By this system every shooter has chance to win a trophy. Those who win Tn the preliminary handicap are not eligible for trophies in the midwintr handicap. The usual number of trophies will be given for the high averages at 600 targets and for the entir. weeks shooting Four traps will be used.

Weeks Wants To Meet Les
Darcy.

Billy Weeks, Canadian middle weight champion, who boasts that he has never issued a challenge Co any boxer in his seven years at the game, now says there are just two boxers with whom he would well come matches and he has expressed desire to meet them. They are Les Darcy and Mike Gibbons.
 "Biddy" Bishop, manager of the clever Canuck titleholder, has post ed $2,5OO to show that he means business. He says that he is ready to sign articles with either Gib- bons or Darcy at any time Bishop recently sent word to Darcy's rep resentatives at New York asking for a match for Weeks. He says no reply has been had from the Au- gtralian champion.
 "In November I asked Mike Gib- bons to consent to a match with Weeks, but as yet I have had no word from him that he is willing I have communicated with him no less than a dozen times but he has never replied" said Bishop.

HELEN HOLMES AGAIN.

AAAAL4A4N A4O LAAAAg AANA4A4Ns
 If one were to ask the members of the Helen Holmes company of the Signal Film corporation wheth- CT or not they are superstitious, they would reply in negative mon osyllable At the same time, they will admit, if properly approached and forced into a corner that they would be much better satisfied if they were through with the produc- tion of the present episode of their serial, "A Lass of the Lumberlands.
 The episode in question chances to be Number 13. In view of the difficulties with which they have had to contend since the start of the serial, this would be enough in itself to arouse a passing uneasiness, but it was suddenly recalled after first scenes had been taken that they had chosen Friday on which to begin production.
 Directors McGowan and Hurst in- sist there is no such thing as bad luck in numbers or days, and to prove it, they have introduced into Episode l3 almost twice the former number of daredevil stunts for the actors. The players feel that this is an open defiance of the jinX, but since the stunts have been injected there seems to be nothing to do but so ahead and take chances on com ing out whole. With thirteen com pleted, they feel it will be all clear sailing through to the conclusion of the story, Fridays and thirteens notwithstanding.
