AS a Star lighted the morning of
the first Christmas, so all the
Christmas mornings afterward
have been lighted by the brave as
piring flames OF candles, pointing
upward in remembrance and in
hope.
When the Colonists came to
America, and for long afterward
candle light was all the light they
had. They made their candles of
tallow, setting up wicks in the can
die moulds which are still found in
the attics of old New England
houses. and then pouring in the
fat.
The moulded talIow candle was
an improvement over tallow or oil
burned in an open vessel, its pre-
decessor, but it had many disad-
vantages. Chief among them was
the unpleasant odor given off by
the fat when the candle was ''Snuf-
fed" or blown out

FRENCH GIRLS DEBATE
TAKING UP SPORTS
BY WILFRID FLEISHER

Omitted Press StaH Correspondent.)
PARIS, July 17.-Should women in
France take up sports, and if so, to
what extent?-That is the question
which French women are now debat-
ing in the press.
1t is a question that would have
shocked the last generation and which
this generation considers only with
reserve, the general concensus of
opinion being that the chief role of
woman is maternity, which prevents
her partaking of violent exercise.
Some women have expressed the
opinion that sports spoil the figure
and that it destroys a womap's grace
and strips her of her feminine
charms"
One woman asks: What sports can
woman take up if she has servant
trouble and the education of her chill
dren to loo kafter, besides flirting and
gossiping?"
Another believes that there are only
few sports which women should take
| up and enumerates them-walking
running, swimming, rowing, bicycling
tennis and fencing.
A young girl writes that of 10 of heT
friends. seven have expressed desire
to take up sports, but four of These
are forbidden to do so by their par
ents and the other three are too busy
Only a few favor sports as bene
fetal to health and welfare of the
| future generation.

BRAVES WIN SUNDAY
AT REDLAND FIELD.
10000 FANS ATTEND

CINCINNATI, July II. - Nearly
$4,000 fans were calling for a victory
for the Reds over the Boston Braves
in Sundays game at Redland field,
when they were informed that the
Phillies were going ahead of Chicago
in the game at the latter city, but
pete" Donohue was touched for num-
erous hits by the Bostonians and the
hilarious fans were much disappointed
by the score of to A. However, II
took three Brave hurlers to stop the
on rushing Reds in their hunt for an
upper berth in the standing.
1t was largely an old time Red play
er that was responsible for the Bos-
ton Braves score. This person was
none other than Larry Kopf, short
field STAR who performed so wonder
fully throughout the game. Kopf had
three timely assists at the plate, cut
ting possible Red runs down in fine
shape, and he also connected for two
good, clean hits out of three times at
bat
Cincy took a one run lead in the
initial frame. Burns walked and went
to third on Daubert's single. Duncan
hit into double play, on which Burns
came home The lead lasted the one
frame only, because Boston took it
all back in the second inning. Pinelli
fumbled Ford's grounder and then
threw wild to first. Kopf's single put
the runner on third and he tied the
score on Gibson's sacrifice fly to
center.
Lead Off With Hit.
In both the second and third in
nings, the first man up on the Red
side led off with a hit, but nothing
came of it. Donohue issued his only
pass in the fourth to Kopf, with one
out. Kopf came all the way home on
Gibson's double to right center. Glib
son was thrown out at third trying to
| stretch it into a triple.
Two runs were added by the Braves
in the seventh on Powell's single, a
single by Boeckel. Donohue was then
] through for the day, Markle taking
| his place on the mound, who didn't al
low a man on base in the last two
rounds. Bressler batted for Donohue
! in the Red half of the seventh and
singled. Burns flied out, but Daubert's
home run to right was good for the
F, two runs. Duncan tripled over Cruise
! head and Marquard relieved Oeschger.
Harper's bounder to Kopf and his own
| rich boner in walking off first base,
completed the inning.
Vanguard held things for the re-
naming two innings and everything
was over.

Nemesis of Babe Ruth

NEW YORK, July 17.-Hubert Pru-
EFT, sensational young southpaw of the
ST. Louis Browns, who attracted atten-
ton by striking out Babe Ruth three
times, once with the bases full, in the
second game of the series with New
York last week, has proved himself
real nemesis of the noted home run
king.
Ruth has faced Pruett 10 times in
three games this season. records

casions He was walked twice. He
has failed so far to connect safely

walked; June II at ST. Louis, struck
out three times and walked once
! July II, at New York, struck out
three times and was thrown out on

FEW WATCHED PLAY
OF new GOLF CHAMP
(By Associated Press)

CHICAGO, July lin addition to
the distinction of being the first per-
son of the Latin races to win the ma
tional open golf championship, Gene
Sarazen Of Pittsburgh, the q year old
professional who performed that feat
at Shokie Saturday is the first player
to win a national golf title and yet be
so little known to golf experts that
none can describe the style of his
play.
The genial youngster who snatcheo
the prime golf honors from a field OF
329 doughty Scots and American
adopters of their native game, was not
observed by eager galleries or by criti-
cal golf writer's. He ploughed his way
around the skokie course twice in the
qualifying rounds and four times in
the championship, yet no one paid any
attention to him until he turned into
the last nine.
Then when word spread that he had
scored 33 for the penultimate nine,
the golf writer's alone realized that
he had a goodly chance to down the
better known players. But the frisky
STRIPPING was already well on his way
to the tenth green and there were the
mighty Hagen, the sturdy John Black
| with his Scotch brogue, and black pipe
and the brilliant Bobby Jones to
watch, for they had regulations and
would likely win If anyone could be
better than another by stroke or sc
in such galaxy.
| So the lad of Italian ancestry tripped
home in 35 for a record IS in any
championship fourth round before the
news really spread that he might be
! the winner over all the canniness Of
Scotia, the imparturbability of Great
Britain and the wonderful energy Of
native America But 1t was too late
| to watch the prodigy.
