CTS were on the team he explained. With Bill in the box, John, now a naval lieutenant, in the garden and Charlie, now a law student at Yale, at second, there was family aggrc- gation hard to beat.
 Bill later was an intercollegiate leader, twirling Fordham to many a victory.
 Urban Red" Faber of the White Sox and Urban Shocker of the St. Louis Browns were the two hardest worked pitchers in the major leagues last season.
 Faber was in 43 games. hurling 353 innings, while Shocker toiled in five more tilts, but five less frames. The two Urbans led the field in labor by a wide margin.
 However these figures don't begin to compare with the "iron man" stunts that Ed Walsh of the White Sox used to pull when he was in his prime.
 F'rinstance, back in 1908, Big Ed" toiled in 66 frays for total of 464 innings. In 1910 he was in 45 games, or 369 sessions 1911, 55 tiles, or 36S innings, and in 1912 hurled in 62 bouts, or S93 frames.
 Thus in those four seasons he aver aged 57 games campaign, or S99 in- nings of work, nothing soft about that.
 Big Ed" Walsh was surely an ''iron man" when it came to taking his place in the pitchers box. In fact he was a veritable glutton for work

 Leo Dickerman, the rangy recruit which Brooklyn bought from Mem phis for $10.000. seems to measure up to big league calibre. 1 Judging from the silence encounter ed on all sides. there is not a great deal of enthusiasm for another local Industrial baseball league. Time there was when city leagues were the real hot stuff. When the Walnut Hill diamonds were first laid out there was rip snorting Ward league.
 And one of the snappiest players there was Jimmy Naughton, now a sedate manufacturer of cruellers, etc.
 And it doesn't seem so many years ago that the Y. M. c. A. nine with Bill Leupoid in the box, was fighting it out for premier diamond honors with the Tabs, with Sherlock Riley on the mound.
 And at the High school it is doubt full if there ever was twirler who surpassed Bill Walsh who worked along about 1908 through 1911.
 Bill, now a full fledged M. D., is official surgeon of the New York Giants.

man ingenuity explores the elements of
nature and shows the race how to re-
duce mysteries to written symbols;
restlessly man hurls himself into the
far spaces and jots down the road for
another generation to Outleap him.
But Christmas changes never.
Somewhere in all the adventurous
completely Of human nature there is a
beginning. Traced back through expert
enc it is found to lie in the cradle, of
life no less than of belief; in a superb
simplicity. 1t is the hour Of the dawn
ing child life, when faith is large and
complete, because helplessness needs
lean on faith, where all is inscrutable.
Helplessness begets gratitude, gener-
oSity, kindness, the primitive virtues
which are all of a piece and not a
veneer of sOphisticatiOn, topped with
a seasonal surface of goodwill.
For the child the shepherds ever
watch their flOcks by night; for the
child the star never fails to lead the
three wise men from the East; for the
child the heavens open to the choir of
angels, and their gOlden-vOiced herald
Of the Prince Of Peace; for the child
everything is a miracle and nothing
incredible. The world is an illusion of
sweet dreams; the fairies dance under
the trees; the Indians people the corn
shocks. the birds have voices for other
things than song. Illusion is the en-
Dr0idery of faith the liberty Of simple
m~indedness, in which all men, con-
sciOusly or uncOnsciOusly, are partners.
He who ceases to dream, loses the
half of life; but he who loses the ca
pacity for faith loses all Of it, and is
already dead. Christmas, defying the
logic of the times, ignoring the skep-
ticism of the chemical analysts, rests
purely on the faith that in every hui
man being there is a divinity for whose
coming the shepherds watch, the
star shines, the wise men pursue their
journey and the angels sing through
opening heavens-at Christmas.

OUR CHRISTMAS E

Ancient sun wOrshipers used to
decorate trees, because they thought a
spreading tree was like the sun ris-
Ing higher and higher in the heavens.
They used lights to signify the light
ming; apples, nuts and balls to signify
the sun, moon and stars, and figures
Of animals to denote the animal sacri-
fees which were made to their gods.
The angels, cross, etc., which we add
were put in by Christians to commem-
crate Christ. The star at the top is
a symbol Of the star which led the
Wise Men to Bethlehem.

CHRISTMAS TIME

I HAVE always thought Of
- Christmas time, when it has
come around, as a good time, a
kind, fOrgivlng, charitable, pleas
ant time, the only time I know
of, in the long calendar Of the
year, when men and women
seem by one consent to open
their shut-up hearts freely. And,
therefore, though 1t has never
put a scrap of gold or silver In
my pocket, I believe that 1t has
done me good, and will do me
good; and 1 say, God bless it.
