After Cy's Record,

Denton Tecumseh Young, a trife
better known as Cy, was still drawing
his big league pay for active service
on the field at the age of a.
Within our time, at least, this age
holds the record and there are now
but two in the game left with a chance
to draw up on even terms with the
Paoli farmer, who is one of the re-
membered figures of play. These two
are Hans Wagner and Eddie Plank.
Wagner will be 43 in February and
Plank is around AZ. To equal Cy's
record Hans will have to wear a
major uniform two more years, or
through this season and at least a
portion Of the next. AS he was better
in 1916 than he was the year before,
this is no impossible job. There is a
very strong chance that Wagner will
get into fair share of games in his
46th year-as major Lacquer.
When you look back and note that
most Of them begin slipping and
fading between 80 and 35. that extra
ten or twelve years beyond the fading
date is wonderful affair, not to be
too particular over ones grammar.

There he's sitting, waiting, dreaming,
Little fellow, eyes of blue;
In his childish way he's scheming,
FLAMING mighty things to do;
Looks into tho years before him
Quite forgetful, little man,
That mother might adore him
AS a mother only can;
Wants to get out there and mingle
Where the combat's at it's height,
Feels his youthful pulses Jingle
With the glory of the fight.
There he's sitting, waiting, dreaming,
Where the walls shut out the light;
Busy planning, busy scheming
How he may keep up the fight;
Still into the future peering
Thinking mighty things to do,
Halfway doubling, halfway fearing
That his dream will not come true;
Still he's hoping, ever hoping
That some day his dream will mend,
On into the future cropping,
Drawing nearer to the end.
There he's sitting, waiting dreaming
Eyes now dimmed and hair quite
gray;
But his dream has lost the cleaning
or that far-gone yesterday;
Dreams no more of battles-gory,
Wealth or power, might or fame,
Dreams no more Of world wide glory,
But he's dreaming. just the same.
Just the same? No, I'm mistaken,
For the dream has changed since
then;

How the Coming Champions of Senior
and Junior Divisions Stand.
Some good work was exhibited in
the all-around athletic contests at the
Y. M. c. A. during the past week. in
the senior and junior divisions. One
Of the noteworthy accomplishments
was the beraking of the broad jump
record by Harry Peterson of the
senior division
The standing of the various COM
petitors is as follows: -.
A Bottomley, q member OF the all
around senior athletic team last year,
continues to lead in his class, with SO
points. c. Holmquist has 95, William
Dennis has 30; W. Kirlew has SO, and
Fred Brady has Sc. In the high
school class, r. Bradbury leads with
1856, r. Loomts 1856, H. Hutcher 1856.
w. Wells 151, o. Shaw $50. c. Brink
leads the employed "B'' GLASS, having
displaced M. Taylor during the week.
Brink has 1853 points, Taylor has 1874.
H. Hall has $50, c. Dixon has 143 ana
H Kopf, H Christopher ana e.
waIther, each with 143, are running
close behind.
r. Davis continues in the lead In
the junior class, with 1913 points, n.
Rhodes has 1872, r. Tracy has 1872, l..
Rackcliffe has 191, O'Keefe has 1874.
The employed "a" class is bringing
good competition to the front, j.
Elliott having 159 points. F. Keller
has 1877, p. Fucker has 1855, Swirsky
has 14S points. The first ten in each
class will be rewarded for their efforts

Young Pirates Show Glass.
A raft Of newcomers were added to
the roster of the Pittsburgh Pirates
during the season. In the course of
a desperate effort to build up q ma
chine that surely demanded new
blood, Jimmy Callahan discovered
few youths whose coming gave him
high hopes that another season will
find them of much assistance to him.
Undoubtedly Carson Bigsbee was
about his best bet in this regard.
B1gsoee was picked up long after the
season had opened. He began draw

an outhelder. but was given work In
the 1nfield after a term of service in
the environs. While not a finished

1t would be interesting some day to
excavate sufficiently deep to bring up
the records of those who have lasted
twenty years in major league harness,
Among those one can remember
offhand are Arson, Wagner, Lajoie
and Young.
Young carried 20 years. Wagner
and Lajoie have ended 20 campaigns.
Pop Arson outlasted them all. The
records published show only 20 years
but Pop was playing in the biggest
league there was in those dim and dis
tant days four years before the Ma
tional league was organized Arson
really lasted rs or &c years as a major
Lacquer, and when they finally retired
the old star he was still batting 800.
There may be more than four ball
players who have lasted 20 years as
regulars, but if SO the data have
ducked their moorings for the time
being.
And after this 2O-year test under
the Big Top is the greatest of them

The New Britain High school bas-
ketball team sustained its second de-
feat in the Interscho1astic Basketball
league Saturday afternoon, when the
Bristol High school hoop tossers took
the locals into camp, on the Bell
town court, the final score being SO to
81. The game was fiercely fought by
both teams and the excellent work Of
Barton who joined the team last week
after being declared ineligible was
big factor in keeping the locals in the
race. Seven baskets from the floor
was annexed by the clever little for
ward besides three from the foul
line, for total of seventeen of the To-

Bristol guards was OF stellar order.

WOMEN HAVE THE VOTE
AT ARUNDEL-ON-THE-BAY
Washington People Figure in Bal
1oting at Summer Colony on
the Chesapeake.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

ANNAPOLIS. Md. July 2s.-woman
residents Of Arundel on the Bay, a
small summer resort, eight miles below
Annapolis. probably the only place in
the east where women have the right
of ballot in voting for governing Of
f1cials, went to the polling booth with
unmeasured pride this afternoon and
exercised their suffrage by voting for
board of town commissioners for the
ensuing year.
Arundel on Bay is distinctively n
summer colony village, being Inhabited
almost entirely by residents of Ralti-
more and Washington who go there to
spend their summer vacations. That
women may vote there Ia due entirely
to the property ownership qualfica-
tions. and seldom, II ever, in the his
tory OF the place has it happened that
all of the woman taxpayers did not cast
their ballots It has not been often
that there have been contests in the
fight for commissioner. but in spite of
that the same spirit of interest has
always manifested itself among the
ladies'. The polling booth. which is
situated on the pavilion Of the pier,
jutttng out into Chesapeake bay, was
open between the hours of 3 and s
o'clock, and the election was conducted
with Judges and clerks. the same as
would apply to any precinct of a city
or rural district in a regular election.
Following the balloting, there was an

A thick mist hung ever the water
and the sun was not yet up. Forward
several officers and members Of the
crew were clustered about, and the cap
tain stood on the bridge blowing sig
mails for help. The bow Of the boat was
up and she was down by the stern, and
we could feel the propellers raising
away. But we were not sinking, we
were not even settling, and no harm
seemed to have been done.
It was not until the captains frantic
whistles, aided by the wireless opera
tors 8. o. S call. had summoned a
couple Of French and a British de-
stroyer, all OF which threw lines and
then pulled astern, that we found out
what had happened.
1t was all simple enough. In the thick
fog Of daybreak the steamer had missed
the gate" in the submarine net which
protects the mouth of the Seine at
Havre and had run squarely onto the
great wire hawsers, f1oated by huge
casks filled with compressed air, which
form a steel protection against the ap-
proach of U boats. Our bow had run
up on the top hawser line. With the
destroyers' help we slid off again and
proceeded on to Havre.

mitted me to say. and that is that |
