HOW OUR ALLIES

We of the new world and the mod
ern customs are always deeply inter
ested in any quaint beliefs or unusual
mannerismB Of the countries across
the Atlantic. Most particularly have
the habits of England and France
held us; the former because she is
our mother country, the latter because
of the unquenchable dear memory of
Lafayette, and more recently because
OF that same spirit so gloriously up
held today by Frances noble sons.
And this holiday time finds us with
our eyes turned thitherward for a
more poignant reason-for there aren't
many homes who cannot claim a son
or brother "Over There.
And 1t is well to know some OF the
homely, sweet little superstitions
which prevail among the people of our
allies.

Woe to the housewife who on this
day turns mattress. It BODIES Ill
luck for whole year.
A superstition which had its origin
in Devonshire tells us that it is bad
form and i'll luck indeed not to wish
the bees good morning and compli-
ments Of the season. On Christmas
eve the hives are decorated with
sprigs of green and bit of red RIB
bon. IT'S said also that bees sing all
night on Christmas eve. But bees are
rather perpetual singers anyway
The graceful traditions prevail, In
Northern England and Wales, that the
birds and beasts have some mystic
connections with the Nativity. Hence,
the farmers and landowners purchase
sheaves Of oats from little boys who
sell it as our boys sell holly. These
bundles are placed in convenient high
places in trees and fences, that the
birds may partake. The cattle, sheep
and even the pigs, are given double
the amount Of feelings on Christmas
morning.
In Lyons, France, at the Founding
Hospital, a very pretty custom is to
welcome the first baby that arrives
with special honors- beribboned
cradle. padded basket, soft clothing,
solicitude and bestowal of gifts, and
careful attention. This is done in
expiation of the poor welcome given
to a Wee Child of Bethlehem twenty
centuries ago, and a beautiful thought
it is.

Curiously enough, my first distinct

An ugly suspicion crossed my mind.
Lillian Gales absolute calmness in the

are no more. The team mas gone uIi,

Jaenicke says he has a team capa-
BILE of meeting any in the state and
says that he intends to claim the city
and state championship and to chal-
lenge all contenders. The Ideal team
last season claimed that it won both
these championships after a record of
% straight victories and the new or
ganization is out to repeat the 1916
performance.
The Ideals will play their first game
tomorrow afternoon at Western league

o'clock, no matter if it is 100 in the
shade.
Defeated Knights Once.
Jaenicke's team defeated the
Knights last Sunday and are confident
they can make it two in row if the
breaks do not go against them. The
Brennan men, however, seem to be
in their best form ana if Sipes has his
stuff on display in the quantities he
had the Fourth when the Elks were
defeated the Knights will be hard to
down.
The batteries for tomorrow's en-
gagement will be Sipes and Stack for
the Knights of Columbus, and Seitz

GREAT PLAINS TOURNEY
Big Kansas City Net Carnival Will
Start Next Saturday.

Kansas City, Mo, July 1.-THE
Great Plains patriotic tennis tourpa-
ment for men, for the benefit of the
Red Cross, will be played on the
courts of the Rockhill club here July
IA to 21. Efforts are being made by
club officials to obtain a record break
ing entry list in view of its patriotic
character. With that end in view,
several innovations as to time for
playing have been made.
The opening date has been set for
Saturday afternoon, as that a large
number of men employed in local Of
fees may have a chance to compete.
The first and second rounds are to be
concluded by Sunday night and there
after all matches will be played after
$3.50 o'clock in the afternoon. This,
it is hoped, will swell the entry list
materially as, in previous tournaments,
business affairs have kept many play
ers from the competition.
The entry list closes Friday, July
10. Play will be both singles and
doubles and no cups or expensive
prizes will be offered, as the National
Tennis association does not allow play
for titles this year.

Many Believe Lewis Did Not
Lick Jack BrittOn.
Another Match Might Clear Up
the Dispute.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York, July Tied Kid Lewis
is the new boss of the welterweights,
thanks to a referees decision won at
Dayton, O., over Jacques Britton-
Just how long the Ted KID will be
able to cling to the title is a question,
for the next time he meets Britton,
and that is to be very soon, he may
lose the laurel back to the Irish scrap
per.
Because of the decision of Referee
Baumann no one can gainsay the
Kids claims to the weller weight sky
piece. But according to a report from
Dayton, the decision would have been
much fairer all around had it been
made a draw. Britton, though out
pointed, scored a knockdown IN the
twentieth round and was on his feet
fighting strong, while Lewis was be-
wildered when the bell ended the
milling. If this report is the dead
level on the bout it appears that Lewis
has nothing on Britton one way or
another.
Evenly Matched.
Britton and Lewis may be expected
to fight to a good draw nine times
out of ten, for there are no two boxers
IN the world today as evenly matched.
Dillon and Levinsky have fought
many times and for big fellows they
are nearly on a par. But Lewis and
cally and in every other way, that
they might be twins.
The Dayton meeting between the
two was their thirteenth bout yet the
flSt1c public finds little to choose one
way or the other. This close compar-
lson is a big point in Britton's favor
because of the fact that he is nearly
ten years older than Lewis and has
been fighting five years longer.
Their Early Careers.
Britton, or William ]. Breslin, to be
correct, started his boxing career
twelve years ago. Gershon Mendeloff
as Lewis is known around his home
neighborhood in New York, became a
professional boxer in London back in
1910. and was at one time recognized
as the featherweight champion of
England Lewis started in the feath-
erweight class and today he claims to
be capable of making 1875 pounds ring
side, weight which Britton outgrew
about five years ago. Britton, how
ever, is a legitimate welterweight and
one of the most capable all-around
boxers ever brought out in this coun-
try.
the operations of these two boxers
that speaks well for the type of boys
they represent. A1tho they are often
matched they never fail to please the
boxing public because they fight like
a pair of strange wildcats, and there
is no love lost between them.
