BASBITT METAL,

Rabbit Metal is 50 called because 1t was the invention of Isaac Bab- bitt, who was born at Taunton. Mass, 1oO years ago today. It was in 1889 that Rabbit discovered the we'll known and widely used anti-friction metal which perpetuates his name.

TIPS AND RAPS
 ON LIVE SPORTS
By c c. HAWNTAN

A FTER HEARING a lot of queer "A dope on the result of the Will lard Dempsey fight about the charac- ter, condition, etc, of the fighters we have come across the wierdest story yet.
 It was printed tn a San Francisco paper a short while ago and the writ CT claims that Dempsey went into the ring "dopcd." He also says that when Dempsey entered the ring in To- ledo, he was go doped that he was practically a wild man" in the first round and points out that after round one the effects having wore off, he was a pretty tame man. This he claims is the reason the Salt Lake City boy wins most of his fights an the first or second rounds.
 It would be a good thing for few of the fighters around this section of the country to catch on with Jack Rearns and have plenty of it injected into their wrists before they climb between the ropes.
 According to reports we will have to admit th-t Jack was practically "a wild man i5 tho first round of that affair at Toledo and also In the third round he was pretty well tired out but not from any narcotic effects, but from his ezeTtio1 in sending all he hal in every blow over 60 times to some part of Willard's face and body. And cfter the scrap nobody noticed the usual effects that come from using dope of any kind, but did notice the lack of nervousness at all and did not show any signs at all of the short but lively affair he had taken part in but a few hours before.
 Dempsey is surely imbibed with some thing and that is youth, am bition, and plenty of nerve, also a little dynamite" in each mitt.

 Ddegel, who is only 20 years old, played well all the way. He started with II, added 74 and then 69 and 72. But Hutchinson earrad third place only by yesterdays play. He took 76 for the first round and 72 for the second. His 69 yesterday was the third of the tournament, to which Hampton added a fourth.

Charley Brickley, the former liar yard football star, has denied all re ports that he will coach any college team at all this fall. The latest report is that Charley was signed to coach the Fordham eleven but has coma out with the statement that many other college stars have made that foot ball coaching was a waste of time on the part of the coacher in spite of the big salaries that are being offered.
 Brickley is kept pretty busy on Wall street and perhaps that has more to do with his refusing to teach his fav- orite sport than any other minor req sons that are put up by most college coaches.

 After winning about ten straight, Bob Shawkey, the Yankees star tvir- Ter, is turning about and making a, record the other way. So far he has dropped five straight. Shawkey has lost to Cleveland, Detroit. St. Louis, Chicago and Boston.
 We haven't heard any more about that proposed trade of Carl Mays of the Boston Red Sox. Col. Ruppert and Harry Sparrow. business manager of the Now York Americans are still working on the deal but nothing seems to come of it. Has the Boston protest thrown a scare into the club own CTS?
 Seibold. the former Athletic pitcher, broke Toronto's. of the International League winning streak. The Maple Leafs had won sixteen straight until Seibold stopped them, the Balti .aore pitcher allowing them only threo hits and gave them a coat of white wash
 Harwood. the Harvard pole vauiter, is back from France talking about the wonderful form that Sol Butler displayed in the running broa1 jump in the interallied meet. Butter cleared 24 feet 9 1-2 inches in the broad as clean as a whistle, which. as every one will admit, is some performance. It looks to be the greatest leap ever made by a eolored man and outside of Potter O'Connor's world mark of 24 feet II 3-4 inches and Al Gutterson's jump in the Swedish Olympic games in 1912 1t is the next best.

The Yankees certainly had no trouble hitting Ruth yesterday. Peck inpaugh got a single, double and a triple. but for some reason the New Workers could not place the ball safely when hits meant runs. They had a rosy chance to score the tying run in the ninth, but Pipp and Bak- CT, fairly reliable stIckers, failed to take advantage of their opportunities.

KINDERGARTEN HELPS FOR PARENTS

Froebel, the founder of the kin
dergarten, was German, but not
Prussian. Prussia soon recognized
that democracy" would be the
outcome of his method and prompt
ly suppressed it. Many do not
know that the kindergarten never
has fiourished in Germany.
Froebel was in a sense a mar
tyr and died disappointed with his
own nations rejection of the kin
dergarten, but with his "eye of
faith" he turned hopefully towards
America in which country, he pro-
phesied, his ideas would flourish
under democratic protection and
guidance.
Mothers of America, many OF
them, as we'll as teachers, have
studied kindergarten principles for
so years and have again and again
testified to their value
kindergarten discipline is loving
steady and strong. not sentimen-

pline prefers positive rather than
negative methods. The life of the
child is not filled with ''DOn'ts''

for mischief.

The phenomenal success of Amel

The phenomenal success of Amer
lean boys at the front after an un-
usually short military training was
not only great cause of thank
fulness, but indicated that Ameri-
can mothers methods of discipline
had not been so induHgent nor lax
in the past as some good critics
have feared. There has been a
blessing in disguise in the free &C
ton and self-assertion that are al
lowed American children.
Fifty years ago, a little book en-
titled "Children's Rights" appeared
in this country. Perhaps it went
too far, but children had suffered
long from too great severity. Her
bert Spencer in England wrote of
children's rights as we'll as of wom-
ems. The words of progressive
thinkers on both subjects were
needed. Later from Sweden, Ellen
Key sent out 1.-THE Century of the
Child" Later yet came from Italy
DR.. Montessori's outcry against
suppression of the child by aFbi-
trary discipline, and her advocacy
of discipline biased on liberty"
Probably all of these leaders di-
recuy or Indirectly gained much
Of their inspiration and guidance
from Froebel, who dared to- write
even in Germany, Follow the
Child"
