THE ROY SCOUTS

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
I think the little incident am
sending you should be published and
known to the people of Amboy, that
they may realize the Influence or the
Boy Scout movement among our
boys.
One Saturday afternoon lately
party of ladies were arranging and
decorating room for an entertain
ment. Finding themselves in need OF
a messenger, one of the ladies step
ped out to the sidewalk and soon
spied a. small boy coming leisurely up
the street. He responded quickly to
her beckoning and at once signffied
his readiness to do her errand. As
the lady finished her instructions she
added, You may not see me upon
your return with the parcel, so / will
thank you and give you ten cents
now" IT do not want to be paid"
answered the lad very seriously. "A
Boy Scout never accepts money for
an act OF courtesy" and touching his
cap away he sped, happy apparently
in having an opportunity to live up
to his pledge and his code" while
the sidewalk lady followed his course
with admiring eyes.
ADMIRER.

Springfield Bowling Team Calls Local
Masons Good Sportsnen

If there s anyone up in Brattleboro,
VT, with whom John \. Abar is not
acquainted, that individual must have
kept under cover last week when Abar
led a team of Springfield bowlers
against the Brattleboro Masons. That s
part of the story the Springfield men
have been telling since their return, but
the part which they have emphasized
most is the treatment accorded them In
the Vermont city. They are unanimous
in declaring they will not even await
an invitation to go up again next sea-
son if they are given as much as hint
that their visit will be welcome. They
describe the Brattleboro bowlers whom
they met as sportsmen in the biggest
and best sense of that much misused
term. Everything possible was done
F.! to make the trip pleasant one, partic-
ularly the part of it spent in Brattle,
| boro at the Masonic temple.
! After rolling against the Brattle
boro Masons, the Springfield men were
guests at buffet luncheon that
reached almost to the merits of ban
quet. Frank Stebbins and Fred Vail
berg liked their hosts so well that they
remained over next day for Il l0-strinl
match against Brattleboro pair. TIL,
only feature that did not surpass the
expectations of the Springfield mer
was their failure to break the ale,

NO CHAMPIONSHIP.
Track and Field Contests Of Eastern
Colleges Dropped This Year.

For the first time in more than 40
years there will be no intercollegiate
track and field championship meet for
the eastern colleges and universities
this season. This was decided upon by
the executive committee of the inter
collegiate association of amateur ath-
letes of America at special meeting
held in Philadelphia yesterday in con-
nection with the relay carnival of the
university Of Pennsylvania.
In place of the titular track games
it was suggested that Saturday, May
26, be set aside for the holding of a
special patriotic and athletic demon
stration By the athletes of the various
members of the association subject to
the approval of the secretary of war
