WHEN HEARTS ARE TRUMPS
Tragedy IL Child Should Have Christ
mas Come and Go Without
an Ecstasy.

~ + YOU have no child of
u your own, you must borrow
or beg one for Christmas
NJ eve; for Ii is the time when
the world lights its happi-
ness with a child's joy, writes DIR.
James /. Vance, in the Illinois State
Journal.
only a child may have the right Of
way on Christmas eve. If you do not
stand In with the children, you must
stand aside.
1t is the hour when the world makes
cradle its shrine; when not only
wise men from the East, but grown
ups from all points of the compass
slip down over the hills of memory
toward childhood's dawn, saying un-
der their breath: "We have seen his
star in the East and are come to wor-
ship him."
What a wonderful thing Is this
yearning Of the old world for the hap
piness Of children that climaxes at
Christmas! The better side of human
nature comes to the front. We throw
on our cynicism. Meanness is shamed
Into generosity. and for little while
on Christmas eve the tightwads of
earth have look in on paradise.
Was there ever q sweeter eager
ness, holier Joy, more heavenly
anticipation, than that which all
through the house is felt on Christ
mas eve? Every one is thinking Of
making somebody happy. The de-
licious secretiveness of 1t intensifies
the thrill. Care Ii forgotten. Expec-
tation is ringing the bells. Peace ID
over all the world. And the hero Is
q child.
Thank God for children! "Of such
is the kingdom Of heaven" It is q
sin to disappoint a child. Then It
must please God when we make the
children happy.
II there is no child in your home,
maybe there is one on your doorstep,
waiting for you to be Its saint on
Christmas eve. There are certainly
some there in the street. They are
looking at the toys in the window
with wistful faces, and wondering
what the lover Of children viii bring
them. 1t is your time to play. and
hearts are trumps!
What tragedy. II single child in
your town should have Christmas
come and 60 without an ecstasyl

Oriuin of the Word YuIe.

Many explanations are given OF the
origin of the world Yule. One Of the
most probable is that 1t Is derived
from the ancient Gothic word, giul or
hiul, the origin Of our word wheel.
The Yule festival is said to have re-
ceiyed its name from being the turn
ing-point Of the year-when the sun
apparently turns back from the south
and begins to set each evening farther
and farther to the north until In June
II goes down almost In the northwest.
In the old clog almanacs Of the Mid
die Ages a wheel is the device used
for marking Yule-dde or Christmas.

SHOULD MAKE OTHERS HAPPY
Best Way to Celebrate Christmas II
to Do Something In Memory Of
Childhood Days.

~YT SEEMS that when one
has grown a little old, the
best and the happiest way
~ to celebrate Christmas is to
TO do something for remem-
brance-in remembrance of ones own
childhood, for Christmas Is really for
the children, after all.
1t is for children more than for 9TH
ers because it is day that commem-
crates the birth Of child-that Won
drous Christ child that was born In a
manger of stable in the little town
Of Bethlehem 1000 years ago.
Now, there will be scarcely a child
In all the world who will not await
the dawn of Christmas morning with
a wondering soul. 1t is the dawn Of
that day when the morning stars sang
together, and when peace on earth
and good will toward men were pro-
claimed from the high heavens. But,
there will be many a child to whom
Christmas will not bring its dearly
longed-for happiness.
The children Of the rich will not
be disappointed, nor will the children
or the very poor be disappointed. 1t
Is the child who has not rich or we'll
TODD folks. but who, at the same time,
Is not, subject for charity, who will be
unhappy when Christmas comes
And 1t is this child that you should
seek out and make happy-for remem-
brances.
You see, II is a fact that we can
make happy Christmas for ourselves
only by making some one else happy.
Do not think that you can make a
happy Christmas for yourself any 9TH
er way, because you cannot do so.
Try the way here pointed out. The
child Is easily found, and when you
have found that one and have made II
happy, the very angels Of God win
envy you the gladness That you will
feel.

CARPENTER HOPES
TO BE MUSICIAN
Here's Hoping He Doesn't Hear the
Angels Sing Too Soon Tomorrow.

While it is recognized generally that
Georges Carpenter, the pugilist who is
10 conteul for the heavyweight boxing
championship tomorrow, has a greater
degree of culture than is common to men
in his calling, it is not known outside his
circle of intimate friends that he is con-
templating seriously a career as a concert
pianist after his engagement in the box
ing ring at Jersey City, which he asserts
will be his last appearance in pugilisrn.
Carpenter, his closest friends assert,
spends at least a short portion of each
day at the piano, and while he has dis
continued the services of his regular
music instructor during the crowded pc
Rod intervening between his arrival in
America and his contest tomorrow, he
tice in his training quarters in spite
has consistently continued his piano prac-
of many obstacles.
while | have been a boxer from my
earliest boyhood," the serious-minded
young pugilist says, Il have always had
another ambition in my mind-to succeed
in one of the arts as we'll as to succeed
in roxing. My musical training began
in my early bovhOod and fortunately [
have been able to continue it to this time.
My instruction is suspended just at this
time, because of SO many demands upon
my time arising from my course of train
ing for the coming meeting with Mr..
Dempsey, that | could not give justice to
my teacher-a most wonderful man.
my friends, in whom have complete
confidence, have encouraged me to con-
tinue my work in music, concurrently
with my work in boxing, assuring me
that | have talent and expressing the
belief that | will ultimately succeed in
public appearances. 1t was my good for
tune while working in pictures, making
'The Wonder Man" last year, to enter
tain number of my musical American
friends at the Robertson-C Cole studio,
among whom were several we'll qualified
to judge and these gave me the greatest
encouragement.
1T is my great ambition to succeed in
this branch of art, and when l return to
France | shall devote much time to the
achievement of that ambition. The out
come of the contest in the boxing ring
will have no bearing on my musical am
billions and plans"

ment Of those concerned.
Failing in this, Herbert C. Gibson
attorney for the bureau, intimated to-
day that no further court action
would be taken.
The reform bureau received its first
setback before Vice-C Chancellor Stew
enson in Jersey City, who declined to
entertain an application for an injunc-
ton because of the pressure of other
work. Nice-C Chancellor Foster of New
ark, who was next appealed to, de
clined the injunction on the ground
that he knew of no law to stop an ap-
pretended violation of the criminal
code The third attempt was made
before Chancellor Walker in Trenton,
who ruled that the application was not
in legal form and that he could not
take judicial notice of it.

MAN WHO PITCHED
FIRST CURVED BALL
DIES in NEW YORK
Stanchheld, Raw College Hur1er, De
fed Theories of His Learned
Professor.

The death of John B. Stanchfe1d of
New York takes one of the ablest law
yerS OF the country. His services were
widely sought and his connection with
notable legal cases made him as well
known, perhaps, as any lawyer in the
country. Yet to many his fame rests
on thing in no way connected with the
legal battles in which he was engaged and
which, SO the story goes, occurred when
he was a young man and before he had
entered upon the practise of his profess
sion.
AS an undergraduate at Amherst Col
lege he pitched upon the ball team of
that institution. One day, it is said, an
ancient professor of physics told his class,
In which was numbered Stanchfeld that
such a thing as a horizontal curve to a
hurled sphere was impossible since, he
said, it violated all the laws of nature and
physics. He cited formulate to prove that
he was right. Up spoke the young
pitcher and said that while the formulate
might be correct, he was ready to prove
that he could throw curve even though
it did violate the we'll known laws. He
invited the professor to come out on the
baseball diamond that afternoon and
watch.
The professor came and stood back of
the catcher behind the end of "a brick
wall. Near the other end, but out of
sight of the man of learning at the
catcher, stood Stanchfeld. He wound
up and delivered what is known as the
roundhouse curve and as the professor
say the ball land in the CatCher's glove
he sadly admitted that the thing had been
done in spite of his theories showing it
to be impossible.
Others may claim the title, but it is,
we believe, generally conceded that
Stanchftld was thus the father of the
race of pitchers who have been able to
mystify the bat sWingers with startling
variations in the path of the fast travel
ing sphere And it is our impression that
he remained justly proud of the distinc-
ton in spite of the many additional hon
ors that were accorded to him in after
life

], RIGGS STEPHENSON
ATTRACTS ATTENTION
His Play Around Keystone Sack
Equals That of Veteran.
Injury to Bill Wamsganss, Unassisted
Triple-Play Hero Of Worlds Sc
ries, Gives Youth Chance
to Show Himself.

From the college campus direct to
the major leagues without previously
having seen a professional baseball
diamond is the unique record Of j.
Riggs Stephenson, second baseman
with the worlds champion Cleveland
Americans.
Stephenson probably is attracting as
much attention as any player in the
big leagues. His play around the
keystone sack equals that of a vet
eran.
When Bill Wamsganss, unassisted
triple-play hero of the worlds series
last October, sustained a fractured
arm during the trip north from the
spring training camp at Dallas, Mana
ger iris Speaker filed the gap with
Harry Lunte, utility infielder. A few
days later Lunte wrenched his ankle
and Speaker found himself without q
second baseman.
Stephenson, who signed with the
Indians last spring, was attending the
University Of Alabama. He was to
have joined the team when he finished
The Connecticut labor news. (New Haven, Conn.) 1921-1925, 1921-07-01

his studies in June. Speaker ex-
versity officials and his request that
Stephenson be excused until May was
granted.
A week before his leave of absence
from college expired Stephenson
learned that neither Wamsganss nor
Lunte would be ready to play by May
1, and he notified Manager Speaker
that he had decided to remain with
the Indians all season. He will re-
turn in the fall to complete his course
in engineering and receive his degree
in February.
Stephenson is an all-arOund athlete,
making the college baseball, football,
track and basketball teams and being
picked on All-Southern football, base
ball and track teams.
The ALBANIAN received a tryout
with the Indians at Dallas for two
weeks. This was the first profession
al diamond he had ever seen. He re-
ported to Cleveland April II, the day
before the American league season
opened.
Up to this year Stephenson played
shortstop on the University Of Ala
bama team. Sewell was the second
baseman, but changed to shortstop
when he joined the New Orleans
Southern association team. At Speak
er's suggestion Stephenson switched to
second base.
