THE M ESSAGE


When Annie and Bernard came home
from their brief honeymoon Monday
morning the city was drenched in
rain. A cold autumn soppiness be-
draggled everything. They had a bag
and suitcase and Bernie insisted they
take a cab home. To Annie it seemed
all unthinkable extravaganza. Their
fiat was uptown. The fare would be
some horrible figure impossible for
her inexperience to calculate.
We'll. whatll we do, ruin our
clothes and save couple of dollars? %
said Bernie frowningly.
But We can take the crosstown
and transfer up Eighth" haZarded
Annie, surveying the running cutters,
the rain-lashed sidewalks. 1t was early
and they had had no breakfast yet.
And take an hour getting home!
No, sir, We'll take a cab. Hey!" He
motioned to sleepy old cabman, loll-
ing in his seat on a hanson" How
muchll 1t cost to go to ST. Nicholas
avenue and a Hundred and Thirty
ninth?"
The man squinted at the streaming
street and brought his Indifferent gaze
back to the modest couple, who did
not look particularly promising as to
tips.
Three and quarter" said he.
What" exploded Bernie. Annie
tugged his sleeve.
Don't let's, Bern. We can't afford
it. Here's a car now"
"Oh, all right" Bernie was cross.
Annie tried to distract him and
bring back his good humor all the way
uptown. But the car jerked and
stopped and started and stopped again
and got blocked by the traffic and
crawled and crawled. And Bernie
was very impatient.
They reached the fat finally. 1t
thrilled Annie to the core when Der
nard opened their door with the latch
key and strobe into the little place
that was their actual sweet, neat
home She turned impulsively to him
and threw her arms about his neck.
"Oh, darling-it's OURS isn't 1t
wonderful?"
Look out. I'm soaking wet" said
Bernie. kissing her hurriedly, And
look at my gloves-ruined! Gosh; is
there any coffee in the house,"
Yes, dear, Aunt Moggie saw to
all that The Kitchens stocked up
with a lot Of things. Oh, BERN"
Annie, inarticulate with emotions she
couldn't have analysed. stood clasping
her hands and gazing round the little
place that was now the world to her.
yeah" answered Bernie, vaguely.
He was already in the bedroom get

lean politicians of the fair sex Mrs.
Mccormick was Ruth Hanna, daugh-
ter Of the late Mark Hanna, also a
wellknOwn statesman.
Another woman who is typically
American and very modern is Miss
Helen Taft, daughter of the ex-presi-
dent. Miss Taft is much younger than
either of the other two women and yet
she has accomplished much in her
twenty-eight years. She has already
had the distinction of being the young
est woman to act as president of a
college. Since October 1917 she has
been dean Of Bryn Mawr college which
was her own alma mater and when
the president was called away some
months ago she was made acting
president. Miss Taft has always been
known as one of the most democratic
girls who ever lived at the White
House and her friends are many of
them in the wage-earning class. In
fact she claims that her best friends
at college were earning their own
way through school.
At present Miss Taft is on her way
to Europe where she will make a

CORNELL SORE
 AT ROPER FOR
 HIS COMMENT

Ithaca, Dec. 1-Charging that W. W. Roper, Princeton football coach, had accused the Cornell football team of laying down. in the Pennsylvania game, in an article in Philadelphia newspaper, the Cornell Daily Sun, newspaper of the undergraduate body. denounces Roper in an editorial head ed MT. Roper, Exponent of H. Taste"
 The Sun quoted Roper as saying "I didn't like the mental attitude of the Cornell team. They had not the semblance of dash and fight, and appeared to regard the game as a sort of joke. It is a pity Cornell does not have better spirit. They need it badly"
 In pat the Sun comments as fol- lows: For a Princeton coach to so criticize another university is almost impossible of comprehension. We are quite certain that no Princeton ian of influence would have allowed such an article to appear if he could have seen it before it was submit ted.
 MT. Roper's lack of judgment be- comes more apparent when it is con sidered that hc succeeded "Speedy" Rush at Princeton. We hope MT. Roper received sufficient remunera- tion to repay him for the just con- demnation that will result from his ill-starred literary efforts"

heavyweight championship with Jeff ries and had put up a stiff fight with the champion for two rounds. He is even credited with having had the great bonermaker in a bad way in the second round. Ruhlin, in addi- ton had knocked out Tom Sharkey and was still recognized as one of the first string heayieS.
 Carter and Ruhlin met in PhIadel- phia on the night of Sept ', 1903. Carter was outclassed, physically, in every way, being at least 30 pounds lighter than Gus. Only a year before Carter had fought Ryan at the stipu- lated niddleweight limit, I58 pounds, and he was up against a man who had given the incomparable Jeffries a rub even if only for a short while When the men met in, nid-ring Ruh- lin lowered over Carter as much as Jefries did Tom Sharkey at Coney Island.
 Then men went right into a savage miXup at the start of the second round. When they emerged from it Ruhlin displayed a cut over his eye brow which flowed crimson streams down his face, neck and shoulder. The crowd was in a frenzy at Carter's great showing. In the fourth things took turn in favor of Ruhlin who staggered Carter but when the slug ging ended Carter turned reluctantly to his corner with a scowl at Gus. In the fifth Ruhlin fighting desperately, and with blood trickling down his body and even to the tops of his shoes scored a terrific lift hook to Carter's kidney. Carter holding his hand to his side sank in agony to the floor. admidst claims Of "foul!''. But the blow was entirely fair. Carter gained his feet with difficulty but once resumed strife as if no disa dvantage had been inflicted. When the bell rang for the end of the sixth both grinned through faces faclIed with carmine. Ruhlin grasped Carter by the hand saying, You're all right, Kid. Good enough to give even Jeff a ffght!'
 From which we glean that Ruhlin thought pretty well of Kid Carter even though the Brooklyn boy only weighed ITO pounds

SIX DAY RAGE DRAWS THRONC
 AT THE START

New York, Dec. Tine 27th annual siX-day bicycle race, a milestone in the life of New Workers, got under way this morning, one minute after midnight, in historic Madison Square Garden, attended by all the noise and pomp which has marked the start or this annual fixture in years past 4 crowd that probably excelled in num- bers any that has witnessed previous opening nights, turned out for the dis unction of being present when the sturdy pedal-pushers started their endurance-testing grind. As Benny Leonard, worlds lightweight cham pion, pulled the trigger on the pistol that parked the starting signal a mighty rear swept over the interior of the great haven of sport. The six day race was on.
 This years grind will be truly an international one. The cessation of hostilities abroad has enabled the for eign cyclists to make the trip to this country ih quest of a share of the pot of gold which will be distributed when the n1onotonous journey about the saucer track ends. Many of the riders are new to the crowd, crowd characteristic of bicycle race open ings, but there are enough veterans of previous yeas to provide the hab- ttual cycling spectator with visions or the races that have passed with the years.
 Evidence that cycling. like all other activities. has felt the advance in the cost of things as result of the war is furnished in he stze of the purse for which 15 teams will strive during the week. The management of the race has announced that prize money to- taling $30.000 will be split among the pedalers who finish the grind next Saturday night. This is double the amount distributed last year In ad- dition, the management has decided to adhere to the policy which was followed last year. and furnish prizes" each day in morning, after noon and evening sessions.

 EASY FOR CH..In
 FOOTBALL TEAM

The Washington Glees, who proved easy for the American Chain foot ball team two weeks ago, supplied no better opposition yesterday and Manager Kearney's outfit downed the New Haven boys at NewfeId park by 26 to 0. During the entire game the Glees made but four first downs.
 Grunwald played a spectacular game for the Chains. The fleet half back intercepted a forward pass thrown by the G1ees and ran TS yards for touchdown. Johnny Nagle, the clever Chain end, caught ] forward pass hurled by Bakcs and made 54 yards before he was down ed.
 F7uIlback Graney of the GIees, was injured when he was tackled by two Chain players and was taken in an ambulance to New Haven. It was said that he might have a fracture of the spine. Eddie Reilly, Bill Elan agan and John Hurley of this city played well for the Glees.

NAVY VICTORY
 WAS SURPRISE
 ID ARMY FANS

tonist, referring to the Army and Navy game at the Polo Grounds on Saturday, described It as the last cocktail of the football season, and, of course, he was among those pres ent- As game, strictly speaking, it was a 2.75 cocktail, but the abomina- ble weather conditions were largely responsible for this.
 It was more or less necessary for the teams to confine themselves to fashioned football, and in this re- spect the Navy clearly indicated its superiority. Its defense was such that the Army failed to make a single first down in the course of the game.
 There seemed to be much dissatis- faction over the game Saturday night, and few of those who saw 1t, except ing, of course, those whose sympa- thies were with the Navy, were pleas ed with the exhibition as a whole. Many of the spectators contracted colds, and others awoke yesterday morning with severe headaches.
 Possibly the cocktail was stronger than we thought it was, or possibly the fact that the players were not numbered contributed to the general dissatisfaction At any rate, the game failed to come up to the standard set by Colgate, Syracuse and Dartm outh.
 The Army offense did not approxi- mate the strength which it showed against Syracuse. It was of an old fashioned character, and the Army backs confined themselves almost ex- cIusively to attacks within the Navy ends, Hardly ever did they try to get around the Midshipmens Hanks, and Lhe result was that what few gains they did make were short.

H, g. ends every time, Kelley, the Everett backf1eld star, made the touchdown possible by a 20 yard run on this play, SweetIand. the Ever cit quarterback, proved a corker In running back kicks
 Capt, Hammil, Hickey, Maher and Murphy starred for B, H. s. Berkwit was moved from guard to tackle be- cause of Waters illness and al though he was rot so much at home there, he blocked many plays.
 Having defeated such teams as Yale Freshmen. New Haven High, Meriden High and Waterbury High, and having gone through the season with their goal line crossed only once, the High school players claim the state championship. It is the best school team developed in this city in years and Coach Fred Hunt deserves great credit for his work.
