JAMES D. BENNETT 50 YEARS OLD

Monday, February 4th, marked the
82nd milestone in the life of James D.
Bennett, of South Milford.
The day was balmy and beautiful,
fitted to inspire one so far past the
three score and ten span of life, with
rev courage to fight the physical
weaknesses, and to patiently welcome
the coming days.
It is often a sign of greater bravery
"to stand still by the side of the road"
than to engage in life's most stirring
battles; and to this aged veteran be-
longs a faith and patience that is
beautiful.
Always CHEEKY and happy, with
pleasant greetings for even the hum
blest passerby, James Bennett has
won for himself a host of warm
friends in town and country side, all
of whom are hoping many more birth
days to his long and useful life.

The home circle is broken.
Our hearts are broken, too
But broken hearts must still live on
Till the mission of life is through.
Every feature of your face
Is enshrined upon our hearts,
Sad and lonely we have been
Since the day we had to part.
We are trying to bear our cross
For the sake of Him who died to save
Who gave us hope for redemption
And life beyond the grave.

 Bher on Los Angeles Course
By The Associated Press.

Ey The Associated Press.
 1 Los Angeles. Jan. 2S.-Gene Sara zen, American professional golt champion, defeated Arthur Havers | British open title- holder five up and four to go, in 7e-hole match for the unofficial worlds professional cham pionship, begun in San Francisco Fri day and completed at the Hillcrest Country club course here yesterday afternoon.
 Sarazen came out of the first 36 holes of play in San Francisco with a lead of three holes, and this he in- creased to five during the last IS holes yesterday.
 At the nineteenth hole of Sundays s round rain began to fall. but the gall lery of 2.oo0 remained, following the play with unabated interest.
 Sarazen made the final fourteen holes in 56, Havers in 59. The cards for the days play were: SaraZen 129, Havers 1S3. Sarazen made the sixty eight holes in 2S0 and Hayers in 2S6.
 Havers halved eight holes in the final thirty-siX Sunday morning and threatened, with 1 down, to tie the match. but the American took the next 2, returning to his lead of up.
 Poor putting but good approach shots featured yesterdays play. The British champion held the advantage of more accurate approach in direc- ton, but frequently was short. At times the putting was amateurish. On tho tu.alfh nd fufnntu-g fret missed four-foot butts, while most of Havers's were short.
 The tall champion from the British Isles really lost any chance he had of winning the title by missing four foot putt on the fifth hole of the after noon play when he tapped ii short He repeated the performance identically on the sixth. These two placed sarazen up.
 and on the twelfth hole of the morn- ing play putted two feet over on try, and on the third hole of the afternoon missed another four footor by inches.
 "IIe deserved to win" Havers said In complimenting the American champion.
 "I had a lot better luck on the | greens than Havers did" was Sara zen's counter.
 By, winning Sarazen preserved his | record of never having lost an im- portnnt match play.
 Hayers throughout the match show cd brilliant approach ability, in so far | as direction was concerned, but in | most eases he was short an average | of from twenty 10 sixty feet on mashio l shots.

SPARK PLUGS ARE CHAMPIONS
 IN Y. M. BASKETBALL LEAGUE
Annex Title By Winning Saturday-Battes Aplenty in
 Two Leagues-Volley Ball Teams Win

The Spark Plugs in winning their eighth straight game Saturday cinched the title of champions of the Afternoon League at the Y. NJ. c. A. The San Toys, considered one of the strongest teams in the league, put up a very poor brand of ball against the Spark Plugs, scoring points to the Spark Plugs 35.
 Wallin of the Spark Plugs has proved the most consistent point get tx in the league. In the last four | hes he has scored II points or bet t in each game for his team. Yam kaska, also a member Of the Sparkies is speedily developing into one of the best guards in the association. Be- sides doing excellent guard work for his team his field goal shooting is inn proving. The San Toys team as a hole work desperately hard but lack the most essential coordination and team work. A few of the players Sat urday restorted to long shots instead of short passes and working the ball down the floor for closeup shot.
 The first game of the afternoon promised to be a hummer, but turned out to be very ordinary. The Aces were forced to play with one of their forwards who previous to the game suffered a slight sprained ankle. The Ramblers. on the other hand, put up one of the prettiest passing games played So far this season. They out maneuvered and at times played rings around the Aces defense. Every man on the Rambler team played equally we'll and deserved credit for the mas terly way they won over the fast Aces.

IFIRPO AND WILLS
 | ID MEET IN JULY
Both Men Agree to Terms Offered
 by Wealthy Promoters

| New York, Jan. 2S.--Lewis Ray
 mond, representative of a newly or-
 ganized New York syndicate, an- nounced last night receipt of word from Buenos Aires that Luis Angel Firpo had accepted the syndicate's offer of s15e,000 for 15-round match with Harry Wills, negro heavy weight. next July. Wills. he added, al- ready has accepted an offer for a | similar amount.
 According to Raymond, who de- clared the syndicate had several mill | lionaire packers, it is proposed to stage the fight in Brooklyn, where op- tions are held on several pieces of property. It is planned to erect an arena seating 100000 on one of these. Lively bidding for Firpo-wills bout has been in progress for some time. Recently Tex Rickard cabied the South American a s201.000 offer, after bidding sl0o,ooO for Wil's zig nature. The negro. however. rejected the bid, while Rickard has not ret heard from Firpo.
 Tho National Sportsmen's club of Newark also announced an offer of sl50, ,000 10 Firpo, and while this fea- ture was not made clear last night, it is believed the syndicate represented by Raymond is associated with New ark interests.
 Hugh Garland of Newark, N. J., who conveyed the syidicate's offer to Firpo, notified William McCarney, Firpo's American representative, that the Argentine pug.ist had accepted these terms. Garland went to south America al Firpo's request 10 handle the business end Of the latter's sched- uled fights there with Farmer Lodge and Erminio Spalla.
 Firpo and Wills, according to Ray mond. each was offered s25o,000 and 25 per cent of the motion picture re- ccipts, each with privilege of ac- cepting 25 per cent of the gate re- ceipts in lieu of the guarantee. Paddy Mullins. Wills manager, has accepted, Raymond said, and contracts are ex- pected to be signed within a month.
