play in the tournament and but for
the fact that nobody had a chance to
win except Garland it Is likely that a
protest would have been made. and il
9 certain that it would have been, sus-
tanned.
What Might Happen '
There is another point that makes the
intercollegiate tournament at this time
Of the year ridiculous. Even il the
entries are made in the proper way.
what assurance has any one that the
winner bearing the title of the current
year will rc-cntcr college? A man
might win the championship this sea
son and hold the title throughout the
year ms a member of his college team
and vet not attend college. On the other
hand. entries may be made now without
reference to the scholastic standing of
tn player in his previous year in coll
Icgr. The %cntrant may have been ex-
PEELED or have left school. vet be per-
mitted under the present system to rep
resent his college in n national athletic
event.
If the time of the tournament were
changed to some time during the scho-
lastic year. the entrants would neces-
Sarilv be in good athletic and scholastic
standing and the Merton Cricket Club
would he assured Of having a represent
tative bunch of men from many colleges.
As a final argument against having
the tournament played at this season,
it comes as an anti climax to the all
comers at Forest Hills, consequently
does not attract the general interest
that it otherwise would.
There is a quaint custo mthat prevails
at the Merton Cricket Club. Whenever
there is an athletic event on. a pair OF
husky %plainclothes men from City Hall
are sent out to take care of the gate
receipts. This happens whether there
are going to be any gate receipts or not.

Prevails When As Soak
Tigers With Sir Runs in
Ninth
WALKER
BY EDWIN j. l.

THE ghosts of a year gone by came
black clouds that canopicd Shibe Park
yesterday. The spirit Of Collins, Ba-
ker, Mclnnis. Barry foated through
the heavy atmosphere. Enthusiasm
that long has been dormant among
the watchful waiting and patient Phil
adelphians was kindlcd to a living !
thing. Connie Mack's time great
ball club seemed resurrectcd and fight
ing once more in those glorious series
of yesteryears against the Tigers. BY
mere might Of mace this rcgenerated
club rose from the chaos and smotc
Detroit a crushing blow in the ninth in
ming for a 6-5 win, after entering the
final frame five runs in the rut.
What a bal! game! 1t started like u
pink tea and ended like a riot.
There wasn't any fighting at Shibc
Park last night. All the blows were
struck in the afternoon.
Connie Mack doesn't smoke. but he's
taken a great liking for recruits.
Walker Wonder
THE Macklets played a great part in
l. the downfall of the Tigers, but
Walker was the wonder of the works.
His wicked wallop wandered into the
left field blpachers in the ninth and
chased in Burrus with the tying run
and carried him home with the de-
Gliding tally. The kids started the ruin
ing rally, but it took two old heads,
Burrus and Walker. to bring it to a
successful finish. Burrus's triple pro-
duced two of the half dozen runs in
hat delirious Detroit drama.
1t didn't look like a Detroit nor
Dauss disaster till lilly toiled.
Dauss caused a lot of strikers to
60 out. but there was no bloodshed in
the riot at twilight.

is every reason why the meet should
either be- held late in the fall or in tho

held just before the opening of the
collegiate year.
1t is evident from the slim entry list
this and all seasons, for that matter.
that the time is not right. otherwise
there would be Mt least Il hundred en-
tries from twenty or twenty five col
lcgcs. The reason why so few colleges
can enter teams at this time Of the
year is that there is nobody at the col

tho entries. Furthermore. If this were
done the chances Of even locating the
players would be very remote. aud if
they could all be located the odds arc
that the majority would be unable to

The meeting last Sunday afternoon
though not largely attended was very
interesting Among those present were
men who had attended the meetings
for the first time The singing was
lively and spirited and the reading
lesson was led by the Rev. A. e. Key
nolds.
The Rev. G. Sterling Sawyer, for
two years pastor of Scott Methodist
Episcopal church in this city and now
of Kansas City, Kansas, made the
principal address. He told of his very
pleasant relationships and his attach
ment for the Y work here and how he
hoped the day might come when they
might have one in his section of Kan
sas CITY. Rev. DIR. S. A. STRIPPING, dis
trict superintendent of Scott Metho-
dist Episcopal church, also made brief
remarks. He spoke of the disadvan-
tages of being tied to small things,
COMMUNICATED the men on having MADE
a beginning in association work mere
and in his strong way encouraged
them to keep at it."

to serve the refreshments. Fields also
won in the candle-blowing stunt. me

But the one that created the greatest
interest and curiosity was the mind

Expeditionary forces in France:
THE HAPPY DAY.
Far, far out in the Golden West,
While fast the sun and daylight flee,
Somber thought becomes my guest,
And | think OF day that is to be.
| think of home and faithful friend,
Their patient vigil is kept for me;
1t seems like time will never send
That blessed day that is to be.
When | throw away my erewsome pack
And corned willie and beans no more
will be,
When ! discard my haversack
That will be great day for me.
When | discard these o. D. clothes
And once more don box back, gee!
Won't shed hobnaiIs from my toes
On that great day is store for me.
When once more cross the briny
deep
And once more greet Dame Liberty,
I'll rouse the dead men from their
sleep
On that big day that waits for me.
When think Of the prayers that were
said for me,
And Of the kisses reserved for me,
When ! think of the tears that were
shed for me
! am lost in deep anxiety.
Thus in my poor heart there is yearn-
ing
For fond faces far over the sea,
And in my dark soul there is burning
To hasten this day Of days to me.
,s-l
The day when the bugIe shall sound
no more,
And the commanding voice in silence
lays,
The day when | meet my loved ones at
the door,
This is the welcome Day Of Days.
When ! get that discharge that belongs
to me,
III smile the smile that set me free;
ri commemorate my long lost liberty
And die in living ecstacy.
