COBBLER'S WISDOM
 AIDED COOLIDGE
While Student He Often Listened
 to LuCey'S Philosophy

Northampton, Mass, March ls.- James Lucey. mendsr of shoes, is begging away in his shop hero with one eye on the newspapers for word of how the national capital treats Cal win Coolidge. his one-time associate in local politics and now vice presid ent
 When Vice-President Coolidge. just before departing for Washington re- gently, grasped the cobbler's hand as the photographers snapped their cam eras. he gavo him a distinction that he was asked to explain. Put MT. Lucey down as my guide, philosoph- CT and friend" he said. And so the cobbler is now nationally known.
 What the vice-president meant was more or less well known to North ampton folk. The story goes back to the days when Calvin Coolidge was a sophomore at Amherst college. With shoes to be repaired he sought Lucey's shop on Gothic street in this city and then remained to listen to the cobblers homely comments on topics of the day. 5a "a
 The student found the shoemaker's philosophy so engaging that during the remainder of his college course he went frequently to see him. 2. lawyer later yoae$os sn s'a,,nd e1or for RAa ssiients. . ffssss -Sontfnued his acquaintance with the cobbler. Throughout his ca reer in the politics of the city and stace, MT. Coolidge dropped in at the shoe shop from time to time to ex- change ideas with his friend and have the benefit of the latter's pointed po- litical observations.
 The youthful Coolidge took away lessons from the cobbler counsellor: Coolidge the candidate received the benefit of his influence which was considerable in city politics, and when he rose to a position of state and na- tional prominence he still received the loyal support of the shoeman. MT. Lucey modestly explaining that MT. Coolidge long since passed out his range of influence. admits that he may have been of some help when the vice-president was on the first runSs of the political ladder.
 The cobbier says that the only time he ever crossed Calvin Coolidge seemed to make firmer the friendship between them. MT. Coolidge had sought the election of a friend as mayor and asked NIT. Lucey as dele gate to the party caucus to stand in his behalf, but the cobbler. already bound to the opposing candidate, re- fused. This evidence or loyalty 10 a prior allegiance served to heighten their mutual respect.
 The shoemaker. native of Ireland. came to Northampton 40 years ago nt the age of g. He has been at hi" last in the same shop for 30 years. A family of eight children, seven Of wrc. are now living. has made de- mards sr his earning ability. Five are girls: one Is a stenographer, two are teachers, a fourth who was for merly a teacher. is now married ana one is a clerk. Of the two boys one is a graduate of Holy Cross college, and the other is a student in the Northampton commercial college.

A Young fellow whose head apparently

the fray to forced conclusion
It was in the fourth canto, how
ever. that the treat of the day was
served up to the crowd. The two eieV,
ems were struggling around the 40 yard
line and were right in the middle OF a
heated scrimmage when buggy with
a bucket of ice cream dashed on be-
hind and driven by an olive skinned
patriot whose knowledge of football
was apparently as limited as the tat
around the horses hips, swept trl-
umphantly out onto the gridlron In
glory made all the more impressive by
the clang of bell fastened under the
horses collar. He had gained nearly 20
wards when the police reached him.
The bluecoats exhorted him to con-
fine his operations to the crowd as
there was no football law which would
allow the combatants to MUNICH ice
cream cones while bucking or tackling
or the like. After demonstrating for
several minutes the king of the kiddies
was convinced and abandoned the field

HITTING BALL HARD
New York Giants Left Fielder Has
Made Eight Hits In Last Two
Games.

New York, Sept, &C.. Eight hits in
two days by Left Fielder Emil Irish"
Meusel of the New York Giants was
one reason why his team had an eigh-
teen point margin over Pittsburgh in
the National league to-day.
He drove home four runs with two
doubles against st. Louis yesterday
and clinched the game for eastern
ers. Two other of Meusers hits were
singles, while on the day before he hit
safely four times in as many trips to
the plate. Pittsburgh did not play
yesterday.
A merry battle for third place in the
American league has developed be-
tween st. Louis and Washington. The
Browns held the berth to-day, but were
only three points ahead of the Sena-
tors who yesterday defeated Detroit
for their seventh straight victory.
Second baseman Harris of Washington
was busy ball player. He made three
hits in four times at bat, stole a base
and in the field made four put-outs
and three assists. Catcher Charity
of the same club had perfect batting
average with three hits, two of them
triples.
Thomas, a recruit outfelder of the
Chicago Cubs, showed his older team
mates a few tricks in winning ball
games In the first game of double
header with Boston, he drove home the
winning runs with a single and in a
second contest his double in the final
inning started batting rally that won
the battle Each game went IL innings.

New Yodk, Sept. 26,-With an ad-
