Don't fake for years and years
an interest in something that
bores you. Don't pretend all
your life, for the sake of fan
cied appearances, to enjoy some
form Of work that you really
dislike. Of course you should
give yourself fair trial at a
job before throwing it up, be-
cause often a man learns to like
something that he didn't like
when ne set out. But you know
what | mean-don't keep at it
indefinitely. Quit and try some
thing else. Cut and run before
it is too late.
The acid test to apply to your
job is this: If you had money
enough to live on would you stay
at it without pay? If you don't
love it that much hunt for an
other-that is, if you are young
and free from the responsible
ties and obligations which gov
ern older men. The greatest sue
cesses of the world are Crazy
about their work. Look at Edi-
son. Look at Paderewski. How
those men enjoy their jobs! Can
anybody imagine that they love
money more than work? And
yet each, because Of his jealous
devotion to his work, has been
richly paid in money. Both men
are great artists. They have
found what they wanted to dc
and stuck to it. Treat yourself
as if you were an artist. To a
certain extent you probably are
in some line if you will avoid
shams and give yourself fully
to your job.-American Maya
zine.

| 4-5 seconds over Sidney H. Hatch of Chicago.
 Kennedy ran the twenty-five miles rom Ashland Center to the Boston A. A. in , hours. 2S minutes and 37 Is seconds. This time was more han seven minutes behind Mike Ryan
 f the Irish American A. c. of New York in 1912. However, only seven times in the twenty previous races has the winner done better than the time recorded by Kennedy.
 It was a triumph of veterans, for after Kennedy and Hatch, 'the man of fifty marathons,' came Clarence H. De Mar of this city, who in 1911 won the race for the North Dorchester A. A. in ? hours. 21 minutes and 39 3-5 seconds. De Mar was timed in ? hours, 31 minutes and one-fifth of a second. Fourth honors went to the great flames Kolehmainen, the Finn from New York. who made his first trial at the marathon distance in this country. Kolehmainen was caught in hours 31 minutes and 5S 3-5 sec onds.
 In the, illustration Kennedy is shown as he finished his great run and smiling for photographers after the race.

often expressed a desire to get the Norwalk lad into the ring.

Benjamin Leiner of Harlem. who in the ring is known as Benny Leonard, is now entitled to order new business cards reading:
 Benny Leonard,
 "Lightweight Champion of America
 This addition to his cards became his right immediately after he had stopped Ritchie. Mitchell. who was Leonard's formidable rival for the honors of the class. The American lightweight title. which has been held by Willie Ritchie. was abandoned by him. and the competition between the other Americans in the class narrowed down to Mitchell and Leonard.
 Mitchell some months ago laid claim to the honors and posted $1,OOO with Tom Andrews as a. guarantee that he would defend the title. Leonard ac- ccpted the proposal, and as he won by knockout there is no question as to the New Yorker holding the cham pionship of America.

Shubert Training Hard For Scrap
 With Tommy Shea in New Haven Next Friday Night.

7 4=
 Al Shubert, the New Bedford ban tamweight, who is one of the first di- vision boys of the country, sends word from his home training camp that he Is working hard for his coming 12- round decision bout with Tommy Shea of this city. and that he expects to stop Shea. The boys meet in the main; bout before the Newhallville "A. C. at the Arena in New Haven on Friday night and they are down to box at 122 pounds at the ringside.
 e. Shubert seems much pleased over being able to give away SO few pounds, as in many of his bouts he has been obliged to meet tough boys at 126 and even 13O pounds While he can make 11S pounds, ringside, and on a pinch even do a lower weight, he has to get out and give away many pounds in or- der to get bouts and keep working. He tackled Young McAuliffe of Bridge port here recently at 126 pounds at the ringside, and it showed in that bout that it was Mack's weight that enabled 2 him to get a draw with the bantam from New Bedford.
 Since Charlie Pitts beat Bobby Reimer, some of the fans pick him to best Eddie O'Brien in the ten-round semi-final bout on Friday night. Pitts fs a clever boxer and a tough boy. He hits hard and has had more ring ex. perience than O'Brien. Eddie's as- eet is his speed and cleverness. He boxes something on the style of Tom. my Shea and 1t takes good man tc get in close enough to score or S,-. rvhav meet at 138 hounds at o'clock in the afternoon.

Positive announcement is made from that Morton r. Plant, !, owner of the New London team which 1 won the pennant in the Eastern league last season. has become a stockholder in the Philadelphia Nationals of which Pat Moran is manager. The an- 1 nouncement also states that Plant will retain his New London club and Eu- gene McCann to manage it, in spite of his new interests in Philadelphia. For 1 some time those in close touch with Eastern league affairs have believed Mr. Plant had secured an interest in the Phillies and now comes confirma- tion of the rumor
 Danny Goodman sends along his weekly letter in behalf of Battling Reddy. Goodman now ayers that Reddy can beat Young McAuliffe in fifteen rounds and also stop Tommy Shea in ten rounds. There must be something in the water which Danny drinks.
