been going about with a
man whom I have always
felt that loved. Recently, I
learned to love another young
man whom I haye also known
for some time, but my love for
the first man has not decreased"
writes Mary C.. "I have always
heard people say that It is inn
possible to love two people at the

self in the position and am un-
able to tell which one I really
love. Will you tell me whether
you think 1t is possible to love
two men at the same time-or do
you think it is merely infatu-
ation?"
When a woman loves two men
at the same time, she is either
in love with love, infatuated with
one or both men-or partially
satisfied by each. Love is an ex-
elusive affair demanding full
rights and disinclined to brook
any rivals for its supreme place.
It is possible to love one man
and have high regard for
others-to enjoy their friendship,
admire their characters, like to
be with them. But really to love
is to be certain of the pain and
longing as well as of the supreme
joy and sense of completion the
right man" brings. Generally

is because her heart is not deeply

that we needn't be lonely or find

wagons, and so we stress the i'm

Love is tender and seeks to
give. When a woman wants to
see a man happy, to use her in
f1uence to bring fine things into
his life, and is ready to consider
his interests before her own
then she probably loves him. But
when she likes knowing that she
can count on him and enjoy her
sense Of power over him, she is
either giving herself a few thrills
by playing the world-old love
game, or else she is in the power
OF the big natural force which

GREB GETS VERDICT OVER TOM L0UGHRAN
Outpoints Philadelphia Rival in
 Ten Round Bout

Pittsburgh, Dec. 26.-Harry Greb, middleweight champion of the world, won the judges decision in a 10- round bout with Tommy Loughran of Philadelphia at Motor Square Gar den yesterday afternoon. During the last two rounds 'Greb showed burst of speed that permitted him to dance around his adversary and hit him at will.
 During the early rounds Loughran landed some stiff blows to the head and body, but he was unable to fathom Grebs peculiar jumping style and the bout developed into a me- diocre exhibition that brought forth rounds of misses from the spectators, Greb was guilty of considerable hold ing.
 Greb won six of the rounds and four were even. Neither fighter was hurt at any time during the bout, but both were very tired at the finish. due to the continuous pulling and tugging during all of the 10 rounds. The first round was slow, with Greb landing several 'lght taps to the head. Leughran boxed cautiously and did little or no leading. Lough- ran shot his left to the head to start the second round and scored several to the body in a sharp exchange, .while Greb landed to the head with a left and right. An old cut under Loughran's left eye was opened in this round.
 Loughran led several times with his left in the third. but could not find his mark on the ever moving dreb. The champion worked in close and pummeLd Loughran's bdiy. Greb landed couple of hard blows to the head in the fourth and scored repeatedly at close quarters. The crowd already had started 10 show it's displeasurc and hooted Greb as he held with one hand and hit ser- eral blows to LouGhrans face.
 Greb rushed to start the fifth and landed to the face. He took left in return and then sent two more 10 the head, He dropped his holding tactics and swung wildly. three blows missing by n wide margin. As he strengthened mp, Lol4hran drove n stiff right to the body, but it did little harm and Greb was swinging hard as the round ended. Tho sixth round was slow. Several times both men stood waiting for the referee to part them.
 In the seventh Greb put on burst Of speed and from then until the finish made Loughran look slow. Greb weighed i6s pounds and Ioughran 16Si2.

Two Big League Clubs

New York, Dec. 26.--Because two National league managers are not convinced that Johnny bayan has reached the end of his major league career managerial career with a minor league club will be delayed.
 With Branch Hickey of the St. Louis Cardinals discarding veterans and rebuilding with youths Lavan has not been included in the list of eligibos for the 1924 team. When the word was recently passed around that Lasan was in the open market three minor league owners imme- diately opened negotiations for the midget shortstopper with view of getting him for manager.
 And just when the transaction was about to be closed Arthur Fletcher of the Phillies and Wilbert Robinson of the Brooklyn Superbas interrupted the plot. For both Fletcher and Robinson. inspecting their infields and finding them in need of an experi- enced shortstopper. were ready to talk terms for 1ayan.

Football is no game for the weak ling. It is d strenuous sport that calls for real men. not only physically but mentally Ib is the typical college sport The individual. no matter how great, must be subordinate to the | team, if success is to be achieved"
 A prominent western football coach, who has uttered many championship teams, recently so expressed himself to experts in. discussing football pro and con
 Football is no game for the selfish. That point was driven home by the famous coach during our conversation. He pointed out that no one player was bigger than the game or college. The player who failed 10 learn such les son had failed from a football stand point.
 Tho 1923 season, replete with loot ball thrills, was not without its pathos. TO be elected captain of Il college football eleven is an honor cherished by every athlete. It is one of the great est tributes that can be paid player.
 The final game of every college players career is one of the big monuments Of his life. There are cer- tain emotions that go with the final game that characterize no other con- test. Usually the final game Of every college is the all-important affair, the clash with an ancient rival, the big game Of the year.
 Every captain playing his last game looks forward to that contest as the climax Of his football career. Such being the case, it is easy 10 imagine the feelings of a college captain who. because some other player is.superior at the same position, is kept out of the lineup.
 The 1923 season produced three de- cidcdly unusual happenings in this re sppct.

YANKEE WEAKNESS
 IS AT. SHORT FIELD
Shifting of Ward Would Not Be
 Good Solution

If there is a weak link in the New York Yankees baseball chain it is al shortstop. That weakness is not appar- ent as yet, because Everett Scott still has a couple of good years ahead oi him. However. Scott cannot go on for ever and the break must come sooner or later. At first base with Walter Pipp, at second with Ward, at third with Joe Dugan, the Yankees are well iortiged for some years, but the ele- ment of uncertainty exists around short. Just so long asrscott can play his consistently brilliant game. as will be well. but when Scott passes out of the picture there is going to be quite a gap in the Yankee infield. No doubt this feature is evident to Manager Huggins and he Is casting about for the proper man to supplant Scott when the veterans says enough.
 There is some talk that Ward may be shifted to short and a crack sec- ond sacker purchased to take Wards place. The name of Eddie Collins has been prominently mentioned.
 
 It appears that such a move would be a colossal mistake. Last year Aaron Ward was one Of the best second sackers in either major league. There was little to choose between him and Collins and that is paying Tim a real compliment. Ward for several years has been good, but not q gCtat. sec ond baseman. Possessing remarkable ability he lacked a certain finesse that kept him from reaching the ranks of stardom. There was slowness in completing a double play that often caused him 10 lose the second out. This loss Of a fraction Of q second is usually the result of faulty pivoting. That was perhaps the outstanding fault of Ward as a second sackcr. -
 Last season Ward reached the ranks Of stardom. Seemingly overnight he erased his greatest fault. In pulling double plays no second baseman in the league made them with greater celeri- ty.
 To shift Ward to shortstop at time when he had won place as one of the games greatest second basemen certainly wouldn't seem logical. In the first place. Ward might night consent 10 the change. He is partial to second also that he doesn't like to play short stop. At various times he has filled in ht that position. In all probability tsc entire matter is based on rumor, and the chances are that Manager Huggins has never seriously considered making such shift in his inield. A great shortstop is very essential to a teams success. In the last world series Scott was at his best and the Yankee looked like a great ball club in the field.
 Gnquestionably shortstop is the po- sition that needs to be plugged up in the Yankee lineup. A substitute or for Scott must be de- yelopod. The shifting of Ward 10 short. however, would in no way solve the Yankees problem.
