German VS.. American Sports

I 'HERE is some speculation whether the German ten
oency to exercise in mass, virtually abandoning
sports In which personal initiative is required has not
payed It's part IN this war. The Evening Post" edi-
torlay says: 1.-The genius for mass action which
is behind the organization and spirit of the German
army, behind their Turnvereine the Mannechore
their bowling clubs-and their professors marching in
solid formation-is also behind their peculiar system
of child play"
Whatever the cumulative result of the German svs
tenn of sports the main fault with it from an American
viewpoint is that there isn't any fun in it, Thus if the
American and British games only equal the Teutonc in
cevelopng condition and moralenstead of surpassne
them, as most authorities firmly beleve-there is more
sunshine III the Americans life because he knows and
plays golf, tennis, baseball football, etc.
II there is thing man should be allowed IN
choose IN this world it is his avenues of bene
hcla pleasure. In sport that may be golf with one
tennis with another But to insist that the golfer pa
tennis or make him march by wos or fours every dav
Tor ten miles, as the German should would be not pleas
ure but labor 1t would take from his life the zest
which his particular sport affords.
II the sole idea of sport is develop an armv it
would be better at the start substitute the bavonet
for the racquet and the gun for the mashe and quit
the masquerade of sport. If we did this our music.
hterature and drama would be unhapply heavy, in
stead of cheerfully buoyan and it would indeed be
pleasure to sit and drink beer if nothing more than
rest. But Jones, the cashier wouldn't have the ont;

Skeeters and Rochesters
Split Double-Header

After two postponements Jersey City
and Rochester played the final games of
their series and broke even yesterday
at West Side PARK. Poor pitching on
the part Of Maude and Mcfarland for
Jersey City gave the Hustlers an easy
victory by q score of l3 to in the
opening battle.
Jersey City came back in good style
in the farewell session and cleaned IN
by margin of 5 to 2. Ververs pitched
the cleverest kind of ball in the wind
up for the Skeeters, and Twins men
could not touch him until the eighth
when he eased up with a couple Of
passes and two scratch hits, which en-
abled Rochester to tally their two runs

HOLIDAY SEASON In ITALY
Or. GrenfeiI Of Labrador Fame
Explains Christmas Observances
in the sunny Land,

Travellers visiting Rome while it
was still the center of land of peace,
found Christmas there day of joy
BUSINESS; and the merry bells of many
churches, ushering in the day. spoke
the familiar language of home.
Just before the war; Dr. Grenfell,
of Labrador fame, INDUCED in the
unusual luxury of a brief holiday in
EUROPE, after years of tireless service
among the fishermen. His journey
brought him and Mrs. Grenfell to
Rome just as the many religious and
civil observances OF the Christmas
season were about to take place. A
great contrast these scenes were to
the Christmases Of icebound Labra-
dor.
The decorations, the greetings, and
the crowds fiocking in and out OF
churches, emphasized the spirit Of the
season. "All the places OF worship into
which we peeped," he says, "were
ablaze with lights, while professions
of priests in glittering robes. with So
nqrous .choruses and ascending incense,
appealed to the various senses"
At one church they viewed the five
boards believed to have formed part
of the cradle OF our Lord.
The American Episcopal Church OF
st. Paul where they worshped on
Christmas morning, was crowded with
the Protestant population Of the Holy
City A feature of the service was the
dedicatlng Of a,beautirul new mosaic,
covering one entire wall Of the church
and representing the nativity of
Christ.
OF the Coliseum says DIR. sirenfell,
eve could think OF no place better to
suggest to our minds the communion
Of the saints; sd as we walked
round the tea Of seats we could see
again the 'neG of like passions with
ourselves giving their lives for the
same Minister we claim to serve"
When darkness had fellen the tray
ellers We're attracted by numbers of
bright lights over by the Porta San
Giovanni These proved to announce
"all the fun of fair'-tEere in Italy
just as one finds them in this coun-
try at a county fair"

MAKE 1T A MERRY CHRISTMAS
Cause Others to Be Happy and Feel
the Joy Of Sacrifice--AlI in the
Front Ranks.

Christmas!
Every year it comes and every year
we love it, and wonder why. we haven't
made the spirit of it last all through
the year, writes Margaret Mott Cor
don. Perhaps we do not have the
time? But to what do we give our
time? And why is it that at Christmas
We all take time" to do the many lit
tie thoughtful things that we have
been postponing for months and
months?
One of the things we seem to forget
is that the more we give to others the
more we have ourselves, and the more
we have the capacity for giving. 1t is
wonderful thought and one that we
should carry around with us all the
time. For we always feel so tingling
and joyous when we have made sac
rifice or see that we have really made
someone else unusually happy.
This year for most of US is very diff
ferent than any we have yet lived, be-
cause, even though we are not all &C.
itually on the firing line, we are there
in our hearts and the thought cannot
but give us strange exultant feeling
Ito be in the front ranks, marching
with the music!
After all, that is just what the spirit
Of Christmas is. During the Yuletide
we are all in the front ranks and tri-
umphantly moving forward, for we are
thinking, not of ourselves, but Of
others. And that very sense which
loves and therefore serves, which I'M
derstands and therefore sacrifices, is
the true spirit of Christmas. 1t is the
real thrill Of life. 1t is the greatest
and most far-reaching emotion in the
world. and just to know that we are
capable OF that feeling, even though it
should come only once a year. would
show that there is the right spirit with
in us, and with little cultivation we
might make it last all through the
year.

more than a month in wandering

divided into 10 families, and to

for house and garden. 1t was
not very cheerful Christmas
for the Puritans. All of them

Hamilton-in his territory in the next
bond issue.
The committee has authorized the award
ing of fine flag and hagPole to the county
buying the most bonds, taking into consid-
Grafton the countys banking assets, Popu

will be on an even basis and poor county
will not be expected to absorb as many
bonds as its richer, sister, and yet have an
even chance in the competition.
