THE NEW FOURTH.

To celebrate or not to celebrate the
fourth of July is a question over which
no small boy would hesitate an instant.
Monmouth, H.. apparently appreciates
the small boys point of view, for it de-
cided at a recent mass meeting that a
big celebration planned particularly to
emphasize the childrens enjoyment was
to be the order ON the coming Fourth.
According to tentative plans there will
be a baseball game, plenty of band con-
cert music and dancing. with a spectacu-
lar display of fireworks in the evening
and a parade and patriotic speaking. at
other times during the day. This cele-
bratiOn is to include the whole city. At
the meeting at which initial plans were
discussed practically every line of bust
ness and profession was represented, and
the suggestions poured in for nearly two
hours.
Monmouth citizens seem inclined to
emphasize-along with the fun and noise
and general rejoicing-the serious side OF
the occasion 4 former mayor has set a
good example by declaring his intention
of beginning his own day By re-reading
the Declaration of Independence and
Henry Adams speech in favor of its pas
sage.
The old-fashioned Fourth may have
been fun, but it was attended by so many
disasters, fires and physical injuries that
| it was a day of anxiety for parents and
IoverwoFk for doctors and hospitals. The
modern Fourth-safe and sane-has al
the old fun and more. too, and incident
ally the meaning of the day is more likely
to be considered and appreciated under
the new system.

 James Rawley of Bridgeport Is the titleh older for attending impor- tant boxing bouts. There has not been a heavyweight world title battle since 1882 that this sixty-one year old rooter has not seen. He saw John L. Sullivan fight Paddy Ryan at Mississippi City. And he wit at the hands of Bob Fitzsimmons at Carson City. When Jack Johnson wrested the title from Jim Jeffries at Reno, Rawley was on hand and he even went to Havana to be on hand when Johnson lost his honors to Jess Willard.
 Rawley has followed the champions for all these years and he is firm in his conviction that Bogash Is going to wear a boxing crown before his career closes. RawIey is going not ing to be ready to advise Bogash out of the wealth of experience he has gained witnessing all the good men perform in the last forty years.

 Play At Polo Grounds

Last year this same N, Y> U> team was given 3 19 to 13 trounclng in one of the most gruelling grid battles waged in Newfeld Park between two school teams. But it's Q different story this year. Ray Whalen. who was the hero of that game, making all three touchdowns for the Hilltop team, will not be in there to receive the pigskin. Also Otto Saur, who was a big factor in last years victory. On paper the local school team does, not compare with the New. Y orlS9 combination, as the Red and Black team of this year isn't in the same picture with the 1920 eleven. while the New Yorkers boast of a stronger, eleven than that which forced Bridge- port to extend 1 self to the utmost to score a win.
 The B. H. S. and N. Y. U. game will be played at the Polo Grounds if the famous field is not occupied by. college teams that day. If in that case, the game will be contested on the Ohio Field.
 Minus the services of Adams. Whalen, Shea, Fischer and Saur, the school athletes from up the hill nade a fine showing against the. New Y orlS High School of Commerce whom they handed a 13 to spanking. In IS att tennpts at the forward pass play. only one worked successfully, via Ward1e to Cooney. which netted 20 yards.

This was followed by another long gain of 30 yards by Tom Dell which brought the ball on the Lakeview 35 yard line. Then Schine, the heet-fOoied halfbac ok, receiving 2 good interference galIoped around right end, bringing the pigskin on the three yard mark. Tom Dell shot through tackle for a touchdown. Darcey kicked dhe goal. Innocent's spec,acu1ar S5-yard run to a touchdown featured the fray for the Lakeviews. Innocent missed the goal.
