The Brown Thrush in the
Willow

TVHE brown thrush in the willow
i Sings while glory fills
Dawn on sunrise river,
Dusk on sunset hills.
The rivers grny and shining.
The hills are blue and high.
The SUMS q yellow flower
Up in q garden sky.
Between the hill and river
My little garden lies.
With honey for gold -beltcd bees,
Color for dragon. files.
With shelter for the spotted toad
And welcome and good fare
For any little singing bird
That cares to linger there.
Houses for the friendly wrens,
Corn for chickadees.
Suet for bright woodpeckcrs
That visit apple trees.
Wet bread for the robins =,
Whose fiedglings know my call
Apples for the catbirds.
And water for them all.
The brown thrush In the willow
Sometimes comes down to drink
He comes for scarlet cherries.
And likes the place, ! think.
I wish that he would linger
As other singers do,
To gossip with the scarlet
Or swing upon the blue.
For when I hear him singing
At morn and evening, he
Seems to be thanking some one
For hospitality.

the challenge of Harry Wills, col
ored challenger, for the worlds
heavyweight championship. Demp-
sey notified the York State Boxing

Rich Stakes for
Opening Week

Cleveland, O., June 2o.-(Special)
With recent arrival of the Cox
Mcdonald stables, all of the heavy
weights" of the big ring race driv-
crs are quartered at North Randall
track, and the arguments. pro and
con, of the merits of the various
racers that will compete for money
and glory in the rich events to be
decided at Randall during the week
of July grow torrid as the days of
racing approach.
In one event especially there is
listed one of the greatest galaxy OF
trotters that ever faced a starter-the
Ohio stake for 2:08 trotters-the
value Of this event alone being $4,000.
Among the entrants are such
bears" as McGregor the Great,
2:03A; Gar Worthy, 2:03M; Prin-
cess Etawah, 2:03A; Prince Loree,
2:03A 600 pacing); Just David,
2:05A; Walter Sterling, 2;05H;
Hel blwyn, 2:05A, on half mile track;
The Great Rose, 2:08A. and timed in
a race in 2:03A; Bill Sharon, 2:llA,
which horse T. w. Murphy paid $25,-
600 for two years ago and did not
race him last year on account of
sickness. Bill is training satisfac-
torily now for Murphy and must be
reckoned with.
The Ohio is admittedly a hard one
to guess and the man who can fore
tell the winner will be crowned the
king of seers.

THAT Lido is one tough golf
| course. The Glutt once played
there with Pete Campbell and
broke all his clubs on his back
dues.
But the Roughtown Golf club
was so tough it was laid out by
undertakers. 1t is generally con-
coded that golf parks are de-
signed by engineers employed by
the firms who manufacture high
priced golf balls.
Having too much money to
build his own clubhouse, Gink
borrowed a roundhouse from the
Erie railroad. The members drove
up in freight engines and checked
their soft coal at the door.
Any member who went around
the course in less than a lifetime -
was slapped with a medal by con-
gress.
The first bunker was the Grand
Canyon. 1t was borrowed from
the Santa Fe tourists for this
club. 1t was a cold course on a
windy day but very warm in the
traps. So the members were al
ways comfortable. Meals were
served both in the dining room
and. in the bunkers.
All the barbed wire collected
after the war was bought by
Gink for holiday decorations
whenever the club put on a dance.
The initiation fee was an arm
full of rubles diluted with marks.
After that, dues were optional
and compulsory. Gink was the
treasurer and used the umbrella
rack for a safety deposit vault.
Everybody in Roughtown was
anxious to join this club in self
defense.
