He wandered about the house for several days, whining, looking into corners and favorite haunts but no Danny was to be found. The faith tul dog concluded his playmate was lost A good dogs only religion is his unwavering sense of duty.

Gyp Meets Tough Crowd.

But Gyp was unusued to the ways of the wicked world. All boys are not like Danny and like a certain pilgrim of Biblical times, he fell into the hands of a rough bunch. They pro- ceeded to make sport of him. They threw stones at him, beat him with sticks and otherwise abused him.
 Marion Adamowicz, of 162 Grove street, is an American, via the melt ing pot" but he is of the stuff that makes good Americans and makes America proud of her sons. He, as has been said before, is a newsboy and knows the ups and downs in the battle of life. He is in the eighth grade in school, although only a youngster and is fine upright young man. He was coming through Wal nut Hill park when he heard Gyps bark of pain.

THE PRIZE "RoNER"
 OF FOOTBALL SEASON

Morgantown, Dec. 1S-West Virgin ia University football fans are not likely to forget what is thought to be the prize 'boner" of the 1922 foot ball season.
 The play in question occurred dur ing the second quarter of the Rutgers West Virginia game played here on Saturday, October 2s. The teams had just changed goals when Pete Barn ,lra, mountaineer fullback, dived into the line outside tackle. He furnbled when tackled and Dickinson, Rutgers, end, grabbed-the ball on dead run. Without stopping to think the big scarlet wing man made rapid strides towards Rutgers goal line and with a clear field ahead he extended himself to the limit. However, he was not fast enough for Joe Setnon and Charley Howard, two of West Vireinias 1S5 pound linemen, who also seemed to f5zE=e iac7st ttiI11sir ef direction. They overlook Dickinson and pulled him down from behind as the crowd rock ed with laughter. It was the first play of it's kind ever tseen in this section of the country and an ivory" eXl:i- bition on the part of both teams

 AFTER DISCUSSING .PLAYERS

New York, Dec. 14-Major league club owners closed their 1923 conferences to- day after establishing new records for a maximum discussion of player deals and trades, and a minimum of actual propositions consummated. Three deals involving acquisition of highly touted minor league stars were the net results of practically continuous bartering ef- forts. No inter-league deals figured in the limeliwht.
 Outstanding today was the intimation by officials of both New York and Chi cago American league clubs that the deal by which the Yankees sought to ac- quire Eddie Collins, star second base. man of the white Sox, had practically fallen, through.
 It was learned definitely, however, that Dick Kerr. White Sox- southpaw, who $ under suspension for failure, to report last year and playing with ineligible; has been eliminated from any deal be cause he must remain another year out.
