THE SNOW ANGEL

Not so very long ago there lived in
one of the old towns of Vermont 4 boy
who has since become a great sculpto"
Even when he was a boy he had skill
TO mold and shape things as he liked
He could take lump Of clay and
easily make it into the form Of an ami,
mai or person.
fhe time that this story begins was
the. night before Christmas. There
had been deep snow such as they
often have in that part Of New Eng
land, and as evening came on the
sleigh bells began to jingle merrily,
Everybody in the old town sec med to
be getting ready 10 enjoy Christmas.
Where the window shades were not
drawn you could look within the cheer
full homes and see the warm fires
glowing, and often you could catch a
glimpse OF an evergreen tree whose
boughs were fairly bending with good
things.
IL is quite likely that this boy en-.
joyed his Christmas Eve as well as
ANYBODY, but he was thinking of some
thing more than having good time,
and his is what he did;
Late at night after visitors every,
where had gone home. and everybody,
excepting perhaps Old Santa Claus haG
gone TO bed, he took shovel and went
TO the village square where the boys
had rolled up great SNOWFALL, higher
than their heads. He had no light,
except the little that came from the
stars. for this happened before electric
lights in the public squares had com
menced to turn night into day.
But the boy knew just what kind OF
An image he wished to make, and little
BY little the great pile of snow began
to look like beautiful statue. He
Clipped off little here and a little
there, being more and more and more
careful until it was finished.
II had taken him SO long that it was
almost morning when he crept into hia
bed, wondering what the village FOLKS
would say at daylight.
Great was the surprise on Christina
morning As one after another passed

LEAGUE STANDING

The Algonquins had hard job
downing the East End Juniors last
evening, seven innings being played
before the winner was decided, the
final windup being to Z. After the
Algonquins had a lead of 6 to 0, the
East End Juniors got busy and
showed seven runs across the plate,
making it Z to 9. Things began to
look bad for the Algonquins but in
the last bat a run was scored with
two out making it tie, and in the last
half of the seventh, Reel smashed
out double and Lutz followed with
another double scoring Reel, making
the final score to Z.
Daddy" Heagy started to twirl
for the losers and was taken out in
the second inning after five runs was
scored with an out. Books came to
the rescue and only two runs and
five hits was made off his delivery.
This and tomorrow evenings
games will be cancelled on account
of the Albion management being not
sure whether they can enter the
league on account of some conditions
which they will not be able to meet.
Any first class team averaging not
over Is years of age, and would de-
sire to enter the City Junior League
under certain conditions, should get
into communication with Manager
Matchett, 1543 Swatara street, as
soon as possible.
Saturday afternoon is to be the
next scheduled contest between Swa-
tara and Algonquins.

Willard All Right Outside
Says Dempsey's Manager,
But How About Inside 2

Toledo, Ohio, June 5.-Walter Mon
ahan, chief sparring partner for Jess
Willard, is nursing a lumpy jaw to-
day as result of the punching he re-
ceived in his first workout with the
champion yesterday. Willard knock
ed him out with a riSht-hand blow to
the chin that did not travel more than
six inches.
Willard plans to increase his road
work daily until he reaches the five-
mile mark. He is scheduled to take a
run of four miles this. morning and
then box four rounds and do his other
stunts at the Maumee Bay camp this
afternoon.
Jack Kearns, manager of Jack
Dempsey, who is to face Willard in a
12-round championship contest here
July asserts that Willard never
could and never can defeat Dempsey
Willard may look all right on the
outside, but on the inside things may
be different" Kearns said. IF he is
only 30 years old as he claims, he is
IL years older than Dempsey, which
viii make considerable difference. l
do not believe that with all his size
and strength he will be able to stand
up long under the punishment Demp-
sey is bound to hand him from the
start. Dempsey hits hard with both
hands and every time he lands there
is sting in his punch.
WIZARDS waist line has disap-
peared because he is on a light diet,
which is not conducive to strength.
Dempsey is eating drinking every
thing he wants, and in my opinion has
a big edge on the champion in that
regard"
