GOTHAM is SLIPPING
Giants and Yanks Both Losing Grip
On League Lcaderships.

New York. July 1O.-Ahead only
half game in the National league.
the Giants were on the verge OF re-
linquishing their leadership today.
and in the American the Yanks are
even nearer, thru a lead of less than
half a contest.
Westward bound to test the strength
of the formidable American league
clubs in that half of the circuit, the
Yankees have already run afoul of
one defeat at Cleveland. and the
White Sex took immediate advantage
Of ii by bagging two struggles from
the Athletics.
The Giants dropped backward a
full game when the Reds fell on the
Braves for a victory and the Cards
whacked out a win over the New
Workers
The Yanks are on the hardest part
Of the season. If the Yanks can sur
vive the trip they are row taking they
have the best chance of any club in
the league to step out with the hunt
ing.
The Giants now have their great
opportunity to turn the season into
success. They are making a long
stand on the home dirt pile.
Meanwhile. it appears more than
ever that the Indians are out Of the
running and that the White sox. de-
spite a limited pitching staff will go

He looked upon the dollar as treasure in
He carried home his money and he kept IT
He heard his loved ones pleading for a
little bit of joy,
But he'd rather own a dollar than happy
little boy.
And he'd rather have bankroll as the
symbol IF his life
Than proud and smiling lady who was
glad to be his N:fc.
He worshiped gold and silver which in
musty vaults was stored.
The little joys his children sought he could
not well afford;
He'd rather keen his money than to change
Ii into mirth
And laughter and contentment and the
things of real WORTH
He'd rather have the dollar than the thin g
thHt It would buy;
He could hear the elink of silver, but was
deaf to every sigh,
He never learned that money in itself is
metal cold,
That the joy Of its possession in its sum is
never told,
That 1t must be changed to dresses and
to toys and ribbons pink
IL a man would know the sweetness of the
music of it's elink;
That the way to think of money is in
terms of pleasures new.
And the lives which can be Frightened by
the good that II can do.
He is happiest and richest who finds
money happiness
In the glad hearts Of his loved ones who
are sharing his success
Who goes forward dollar seeking. not for
sOrdid wealth alone,
But to give more and TO do more in the
circle where he's known:
And I'm sorry for the mortal who can hear
his children sigh.
But would rather have the dollar than the
JOY that IL would buy.

4 committee. r. r. Baer. chairman,
appointed by the North Topeka Civic
club at their meeting Monday night.
called upon Park Commissioned Me-
Giffert yesterday, to ask regarding inn
provements in Garfield park. Among
other things a swimming pool and
locker rooms are desired. Mr.. McGif-
fert says he thinks 1t will be wise to
make conditions at the Gage swim
ming pool more satisfactory before
adding another pool to the city's list.
He does not know as yet what effect
the request for swimming pool at
Garfield will have on the makeup OF
mis- budget.
Garfield park is the only park in the
city that brings in an income. 1t is
no more than fair that this money
should be turned back to the park in
improvements of various kinds. In
stead. Garfield park is among the last
to receive attention, and then only
after repeated requests.

we of America boast loudly OF our

Of money we spend on education, yet
the records show that twenty-five per

illiteracy among the adult men whom
our system of public education had
certified TO citizenship, not only inter-
fered with the exisent training OF the

grave obstacles in the way of efficient

one fourth of them were illiterate
