Down where the herons stop and stray
Beside shining waterway;
And in the forest, still and DIM
Up where the trees are tall and slim,
heard the echo of Thy hymn;
And in a meadow, laid like gems
Between the green and grassy stems,
l saw Thy golden garments hens.
So, God, l know that Thou art near,
And some glad day of some glad year
may come home and find Thee here.

BABY REYES OF KEY. WEST, GREATEST
FLYWEICRT IN GAME TODAY
BY Henry Brown in the "cong"

In Chicago today is a great lit
tie fighter, Baby Reyes. Reyes
is the undisputed flyweight champ
ion of the South. ! have before
me the facts and figures on Reyes
which indicate that the Baby is
some fighter.
Reyes is of Cuban extraction
and bit of Spanish mixture.
This ought to make a great fight
ing combination. He is a sweet
little fighter and packs a great
wallop in either hand.
Reyes has whipped some great
men. His record shows victory
of the great Genaro Pine, fly
weight champion of Cuba. Reyes
whipped Pine to a "fare thee.
Pho is the boy whom the present
champ, Fidel La Bara refused $25,
900 to meet. Reyes is 81 years
of age and has been fighting three
years. He has had AS fights,
winning most of them by knock
outs. the rest by decisions. Baby
Reyes has never been knocked off
his feet.
Eastern Promoters Startled
Baby Reyes comes from Florida
to Chicago. Anyone down on the
Southern Coast will tell you OF
Baby Reyes prowess in the ring.
So successful were his fights down
Florida way, Eastern promoters
heard of him and thinking that
they might go South and clean up,
they took the sensational Johnny
Erickson down to meet Baby Reyes
and backed Erickson with the
cash of Wall Street. The South
erners backed the Baby and what
the Baby did to Erickson, Eastern
promoters still speak of in whis.

son.
Kelly Takes the Kid
Darby Kelly, enterprising
sportsman, picked up Baby Reyes
at Key West, Florida. Kelly says
that the boy is the greatest fly
weight in the game today. Kelly
never raves about a fighter but in
Baby, Kelly says, put Baby Reyes
in the ring with any of them, on
condition and terms and the Baby
will show Chicago fans something
in ringcraft that hasn't been seen
in recent years. Reyes has the
makings of second George Dixon.
In fact, says Kelly, the Baby is
Dixon and Dempsey in one. That
is saying a whale of lot for the
Baby.
At Arcade Gym
Baby Reyes is now going
through the PAGES al Kid Towards
Gym, weight means little when it
comes to opponents. He believes
that he can beat any boy in the
world and that is one of the es-
sentials of a good fighting man.
Baby Reyes is great fighter and
If there are any promoters who
doubt Baby in this respect, let
them match the boy with the best
in the bus ness.
Would Meet Weiss or Peters
Two good flyweights hereabout
are Ernie Peters and joey Weiss.
Weiss and Peters are both good
boys. But none can offset the
fact that the Baby is some baby
and if Weiss and Peters believe
that what we say here is all the
bunk, let Them choose Baby Reyes
for their next "set-up."

"While the letting of contracts is
proceeding with unusual speed,
there has been no let up in the
care which the department always
exercises in letting a contract for
road construction. Efficiency is
not being sacrificed to speed; the
same scrutiny with which the de-
partment observes all bids is be-
ing exercised, but the organization
having been frightened up, is able
to proceed more expeditiously. /
am more than ever confident that
the close of the year will find us
with operations in progress aggre-
eating eighteen millions of dol
lars"
