THE THREE "F'S"

II HE important thing about
W Christmas is the way you feel.
Not bodily feeling, but heart
feeling.
And the heart-feeling should
be one of fun, faith and frolic.
Fun for as many as you can
reach.
Faith In the fun of giving.
Frolic with the nearest and
dearest
A Christmas filled with these
three IFS will shed sparks of
happiness on many a day to
come.
There IL too much running
about to find pleasure
when the greatest joy can be
found on our own thresholds
II we are determined to
seek it.-Martha B. Thomas.

 In addition to his high run of sew en, Hoppe also collected strings of four and five. Schaefer's next best runs were four and three. Both play CTS made a number of brilliant shots during the game, but most of the time they were jockeying' the balls around playing safe. rather than seeking to make caroms. Hoppe is seeking to qualify for the three-cushion cham- pionship tournament, and while his exhibition last night was not brilliant, the variety of shots he brought off during the game when he set out to make them showed his ability at the game

 Been Playing Since 1909

Pittsfeld, Feb. 21.--Gus Gardells, veteran third baseman of the Hillies, is to retire from organized baseball. He has asked that he be placed on the voluntary retired list of the Pitts field club. He has engaged in busi- ness in Somerville and plans to play twilight league ball.
 The decision Of Gardella to quit the Pi;tsfeid club comes as no great sur prise to the Pittsfeld mana cement as he intimated it last fail. With Dick "acha and Jimmy Esmond available, tile Hillies will rot be without a capable third taseman although Gus will be missed a.i over the circuit.
 Gardella started in 1908 with the Pittsfield professional team man. aged by Cy Ferry. Since that time hs has played with various clubs in the New England league, Eastern association and Eastern league. He acted as manager of the Pittsield and Hartford teams. Gus played on championship team with Springfield.
 Gardella when a youngster was given a trial by the New York Ma tionais. He also played one year, 1910, in the Steel league. He was free agent, however, when he was in the Steel league and was therefore eligible to return to organized base ball. He has been with the Hillies for three years, his playing in 1921 being no small factor in the winning of the pennant. He managed the Hillies in 1922 and played under Art Wilson last year. Gus has reached the stage where he wants to settle down 10 business and ease up some in his baseball work. Seven days a week means a pretty hard grind for him on the diamond for man of his years, particularly an inielder

CLEAN LIVING IS
 A VALUABLE ASSET
BTitt0n and Dundee Great Ex-
 ampleS of Its Benefits
(By Billy Eyans).

Much ado is being made made of te fact that at 40 Jack Britton. for mer welterweigft champion. is still fighting and doing good job of it. Jacks favorite pastime at present is brushing aside youthful fighters who insist all they need is q chance at Mickey Walker to gain the title. The fact that Britton is 40 is stressed. The record books state that Jack will be 40 in October. Intimate friends of Jack say that he is closer to 43 than the fair and 40 mark.
 Is there any good reason why a fighter who has taken proper care of himself should not he able to hold his own in the fstic game at 40?
 Failure of a majority of fighters to take the proper care of themselves at all times is the reason for Britton standing out as such an unusual figure. Fame and hero worship are the besetting sins of most ringmen. Winning fame, often overnight, causes many of them to change their entire mode of living. They throw aside the care and caution that made ii possible for them to attain their great physical power and the prestige that invariably goes with it.
 Bob Fitzsimmons and Johnny Dun dee are to be classed with Britton. Fitz won the heavyweight title from Corbett when he was around the S5 mark, while Dundee copped the feather title at 30.
 The career of Johnny Dundee as a r.ngster is a most remarkable one, T great lesson to every youngster ann hitious to win fistic honefs. Dundee began fighting in i9le. After over q uozen years of battling. meeting fight CTS in all classes usually giIing away from five to 15 pounds, Dundee at the nge of 30 won the featherweight title, He became a champion at an age when a majority Of fighters have re- tired from the ring or are in the has been" class.
 Dundeo's career is q great tribute to clean living. \ believer in the theory that there is no better condi- tioner than real competition, he has made it a point 10 keep busy. Fight ing is a serious business with Dun- 1 dee. Always in shape 10 fight he never 1 passed up a worthwhile opportunity.
 The light game is severe one, 1 physically. However, failure 10 be properly conditioned often is the rea- son for n fighter taking much puns Hnment that could otherwise be avoided. Baseball takes lot out Of the athlete, but many of tho scar players have done their best work be- | tween 80 and 70. Take the cases Of . Johnson. Cobb. Speaker Collins and 1 many others. True, Jack Briiton is 10 be much commended for being able to . step along with the best boys of his weight at the age of 40. his status IS something Of a knock tu majority of ,he fighters who usually pass out be- fore they have reached the go mark.
