Of course, there may be rea-
sons fer a feller's uppish ways,
when the right to win distinc7
tion paves the road to better
days,-and I don't begrudge my
rival if he swaggers jest a bit
for, if I can't be magnani-
nous, I'll simmer down an quit!
And still-there is occasions
when I'd criticize a friend, when
the means he takes advantage
of, don't testify the end; fer
instance - here's Simp Wiggle-
ton, who don't know "gee" from
"haw"- he's learnt to play bull
fiddle in the Hickville Orches-
traw.
Now I don't envy Simp at all
for this here country's Free
and the world don't stop re-
volvin' when he fails to speak
to mel only mention Simp's
case to show how men may reap
if they seize the opportunity
when glory comes so cheap!

What is the matter with the
Church? Many old fashioned
preachers ask that question. Cler-
gymen, secure in their pulpits,
like the distinguished Dean Inge,
of st. Paul's, in London, calmly tell
you that one of the great Apostles
was not inspired; he only had epi-
Ieptic fits. All this isn't new.

You can't change anything in
this world suddenly. You can't
even change a caterpillar into a
butterfly in five minutes. Argu-
ing with a caterpillar, begging him

It. Setting a match to one end of
the cocoon may ruin that cocoon,
but it won't bring out the butter

CLEVELAND HOLDS YANKEES
 FROM RETURNING 7O LEAD
Defeat Champs 10 to 3-Detroit Beats Red SOX-ChisON
 Trounce Senators-St. Louis Humbles Athletics in 1Oth-Giants Lead After Defeating Reds-BrOoklyn
 Wins Frcm St. Louis.

New York, June 16-Clcveland, only two games removed from the first division, blocks the path of tho Yankees in their efforts to return home in first place after q gruelling trip through the west,
 The first test Of strength between the worlds champions and the rising Indians resulted in an easy victory for Speakers team which drove Shawkey from the box andwon, 10 10 3, ycstcr- day, as Shaute pitched effectively af- ter the first inning. The Tanks suffer- ed heavily in the loss of Earl Combs, sensational Louisville recruit, who was carried from the field with dislocat- ed ankle which will keep him out of the game for weeks.
 Detroit reacted from the loss of three Of four games to New York with savage attack on three Red Sox pitchers for 2l hits and 10 to victory. Cobb made five hits in six tries. The win returned the Tigers into the position of a contender, one game back of Boston and two behind New York.
 Chicago's advance carried the team into the first division and forced Washington to fifth place as the White Sox beat the SenatSs 6 to 4. Both Zahniser and Lyons were knock ed from the box. The Browns and Athletics slugged at each other for ten innings before St. Louis won q 9-s decision, the first in five games.
 Five home runs and ten two-base hits kept the game in doubt. Ken Williams made his 1lth homer, Haus- CT his ninth and Jacobson his sixth. Van Glider and Welch also hit for the circuit. Seven pitchers were mall treated.
 The Giants broke their tie with Chicago and again took first place in the National by beating Cincinnati 1 to 1, driving Carl Mays from the box in his first appearance at the Polo Grounds since the 1911 word series. Mcouillan, who went the route for New York, was never in real danger although touched for 10 hits.
 Brooklyn gained full game on the 1 Reds in the third place battle by beating St. Louis { 10 2 as Reuther l held the Cards 10 four hits. Brown, | the Indianapolis recruit, made thres | of the le Robin safetios of Dyer Two l of his blows were doubles.
 Chicago, Pittsburgh, Boston and Philadelphia were not scheduled.

HIGH SCHOOL OUT
 OF RACE FOR CUP
Lose to Hartford and Thus Lose
 All Chances

Inability to hit when hits mean runs may be the reason given for the downfall of the New Britain High
 school baseball team in the third
 game of the triangular league. New
 Britain had just twice as many hits
 as Hartford but simply could not hit
 at the right time. The game was played in Hartford, with crowd o1 about 50 spectators.
 If New Britain took advantage of half it's opportunities and made fewer errors behind the pitching of Clayton
 Gray and Lefty" Haber, they would have won in a walk. Instead, they failed at bat and in the field at a time when they should have come through. In many cases they hit
 after two were out as m the first ln- ring when Haber and Belser went out
 in one two order, and Grip hit hot liner to left for two-base hit. Beagle
 went out, ending the inning.
 In the seventh Gray weakened, al-
 lowing a hit and two free passes 10
 first. He was relieved by Haber who
 might have pulled the team through
 had it not been for errors by Taylor and Belscr. Notwithstanding this discoura gng support Lefty" pitched good for the rest of the game. The loss was not due to any bad pitching on the part of Gray OF Haher, but rather to the work of the team in back of them.
 The first score of the game was made in the fourth inning when Sl- ball team, got on base on an error.
 He scored when Madden hit a long double into left field. Further scoring might have been prevented had it not been for a wild throw by Beagle. Hcalcy next up grounded to Taylor who threw him out at first base. Beagle threw wild to third in an at- tempt to get Madden who was mak- ing break for the dizzy corner. Madden scored the second run of the inning as result
 The Red and Gold team tied the | score in the seventh when Ncipp | walked, and went to second on a sac | ilfice, and scored on Taylor's triple. | Taylor later scored on an error by 1 Madden, In the seventh, r. Pineher- 1 ra and Herter walked after Hoaley l had led off with single. With the bases loaded, Habcr was sent in. He lost all chance of saving the situation when the team errored in back or him. The two winning runs cantered across as the result Of these errors. '
 Although Taylor. who was playing hts first game al third for Now Brit. nin made this unfortunate error his playing in general was the feature of Inc teams play Al hat he hit two out of two, and in the field he ac. ;epted live out Of six cbsnrps Johnnie" Grip, at shortstop also played we'll Second base was trengthencd with the return Of jos- 'ph Kama to tho squad.

PIucky Woman Farmer.

CART ield county lays claim to the
champion woman farmer, all things
being considered. Mrs. Gladys Eby
in the face of staggering misfortune
has carried on" her farming opera
lions IN what is known as the Mark
ley farm, west of Jordan, with the
following result: so acres of flax, 80
acres of wheat, 20 acres of oats and
still plans SO more acres in flax.
More than a year ago, Mrs. Eby's
husband died, leaving her with the
farm and equipment and little else
with which to cope with the world.
Besides were two children to keep in
school. Then came another great
misfortune when fire swept the build
ings on her farm taking furniture
and personal effects.
With faith mistaken in the future
of this county, Mrs. Eby r~ecuperated
a portion of her financial loss by m
ployment secured in Roundup and
and put in a crop. And then came a
browning streak of bad luck when a
bank failed with the few hundreds
of dollars she had saved as working
capital.
