FENCERS TO
HAVE BANNER YEAR
Great Britain May Send Team
Following Title Meet.

The 1921 schedule OF events of the AM
ateur Fencers' League of America an
nounced by w. Scott O'Connor last night
provides for n grand total OF eighteen
competitions for all classes OF swords
men 20 be contested during the coming
season. Greatly encouraged by tho I'M
oNpectodly strong showing OF the Amer
lean fcnccrs IN the recent Olympic
games, the league has arranged for a
banner year. not the least of which may
re the invasion of the United States by
England and possibly an Italian team.
Negotiations are at present under way
toward the scheduling of annual COM
petitions between the teams of Great
Britain and America, which developed
such an intense friendly rivalry at Ant
werp. Twice the opposing aggregations
met to decide who should receive the
higher ranking and on each occasion the
Yankees barely managed to nose out
the victory by the narrowest of mar
gins. The possibility OF n yearly meet,
similar to the yacht cup races, was dis
cussed Immediately after the close Of
the Olympics and has been received with
great favor IN each country. II the
tournament could be arranged IL would
probably take place here after the an
nual national championships, which lat
basis OF selection for the American team.
The local sword season will open al
the New York Athletic Club on January
10, when prep" foilsmen. those who
have never fenced In competition before,
will get their first opportunity to handle
the steel in actual combat.

JUST 4 LITTLE INCIDENT

one hot summer day, a siN-year-old
lad was trudging along bearing a
heavy basket of goods from the gro
Gerry TO his mothers kitchen. Thc
sidewalk was so hot that it was blist-
crinG his bare feet: the load so heavy
that he had 10 stop often to change II
from one hand to the other, while
big beads Of perspiration dripped from
his brow. When he had well-nigh
reached the point Of exhaustion, a
good Samaritan happened TO come
along and take compassion on him,
picking UP the basket and carrying
it to the gate.
This little incident happened more
than a quarter of a century e
but the. man who was then a boy
still carries it in his mind as a
bright spot. He never knew the
name Of his benefactor, who was a
barber living in the ~neighborhood,
but To this day the face Of the mar
and wen his dress stand out as dis
tinctlv in memory as if it had all
''1ppcued yesterday. And the bene-
larry of the BARRIERS kind deed
never passes a boy carrying a heavy
burden without being prompted to
help him.
1t was only a very LITTLE thing
which the barber did and he prob
ably forgot it within a few minutes
but it made him a hero and friend
in the eyes OF the lad he helped and
the tiny act II b%enevolence left a
lasting influence upon a life. The
kin~d-hearted barber probably assumed
no praise for himself for what he
did but if he EVER sets a glance at
st. Peters books he will see an un-
expected credit item on his account.
"Inasmuch as We did it unto the
least of these my brethren, We did it
unto Me-" Blessed is any man who

Many people criticize the papers

public, that is a great bless.ng-not
the criticism. but the disagreement.

Nearly everything here seems transit
tory. Political parties come and go;
American opinions are this today and
that tomorrow; industry scraps its
machinery necessarily; houses are
torn down to make way for other
buildings; towns grow up overnight.
But there is one thing permanent;
the newspaper-the preSs-which

holds to it with a c%redulous faith. II
he does change his paper he believes
just as firmly in the new one he
adopts.
Now, all these papers are different.
They look at things in different ways,
They print, in the main, about the
same facts, but they interpret those
facts differently and exert their edi-
torial influence in different direc-

sumption is that they go wrong IN
different ways, and so cancel each
others harm. Hear the man:
1T will be q dangerous thing for
the United States if at any time all
the papers, by the inevitable force

the same thing.
