Washington Wins
The Paradise Park ball team,
champions last year of the New
Britain Boys Baseball eague by viz
ture of a victory over the Washing
ton team in the playoff of a tie for
first place last year, felt the sting Of
hot revenge yesterday afternoon in
the first meeting of the pair this
year. The Washington team won
the game II to /.
Confidence reigned supreme in
both camps before the game, but a
dark horse in the person of Lipla,
the Washington pitcher, was sprung
on the boys from Elm street and
they We're unable to do much. Lipka
twirled mastery game. He barely
missed pitching a no hit, no rune
game. Two short hits, one a Texas
Lacquer by Cohen and the other
rolled through second in the ninth
inning, gave Paradise Parks their
only two safe bingles while Lipka
struck out 8 of their batters and
walked only two.
The only Paradise run scored was
in the sixth frame when Kushlin
walked and went to second and took
third on a wild throw to first to
catch him and then came in when
Was dropped his second fly in CEN
ter field. Washington was unable to
do much in the first part of the
game. Todzia in the third walked,
stole secoid went to third on a wild
throw by Cohen and came in on a
pass ball. Two more came in in the
fifth. Was walked and stole second
and third. Two men were out when
Todzia connected for a pretty single
into right. He stole second and
went to third on Garro's wild peg
to get him. He scored on a wild
pitch.
The sixth inning was the big one
for the winners. In this frame,
they scored seven runs and put the
game on ice. Lefty Cohen went
wild and walked five men. Two
doubles, a single, an error and a
Wild pitch gave the winers their big
margin. This ended the scoring for
the day.
The feature of the game was the
pitching of Lipka who worked like
a big Lacquer. He had everything on
the ball and plenty of speed. Miller
pulled nice catch down in right
field for Paradise while Wiehn star
red at short stop. Sconieczny played
a whale of a game at first base for
the winers. The score:

Sing Heigh-Ho! Unto
the Christmas Holly

NOTHING quite SO typifies the
IN spirit of Christmas as Dough
of beautiful, glistening foliaged and
scarlet-berried holly. Holly seems
the quintessence of Yule and
should, and generally does, occupy
the place of honor in Christmas
decorations.
There are states where the holly
isn't to be found in great album
dance. In some sections of the
South q limited supply must be
made to serve the purpose. For
profuse decorations other green's
fashioned from sprays of Irish yew
whose fan-like and lacy foliage is
ideal for this use; and, too there
are the beautiful, waxy leaves
from the magnolia as we'll as cedar.

The Lonely Old Ladys
Christmas Valentine

THE lonely old lady sat in the
i twilight as the evening star
looked through the window and
wondered why she seemed so sad.
The star was bright enough that
Christmas Eve TO guide anyone TO
gladness, but she who sat there
did not appear to know ii. There
were vet a few sparks amid the
ashes of the hearth fire, and
warmth had not wholly departed
from the room; there were points
of light in the maze Of memories
that kept the past alive, and at
heart the silent thinker was not
cold; but darkness was creeping
over solitude, and time was regis
tering age, and the old lady was
lonely.
There was a picture on the wall
of one who had been the strength
and joy of earlier days, but years
had passed over his grave In a
distant land.
There were other pictures look
ing down upon her with young and
happy faces, but they were pictures
of children who had blessed other
homes, placed about to keep COM
pany with her dream children, and
reminding her now again that she
had none.
So the star might have known
that there was reason for pensive-
ness as 1t tried to penetrate the
gathering gloom and the mystery.
But whether It learned the secret
or not, it witnessed as 1t watched,
q light in the dim room. For she
had taken from a portfolio her must
precious possession, and she was
smiling upon it. 1t was an old
valentine, the last that she had re-
ceived from him who had never re-
turned. 1t was inscribed ITO MY
Valentine" Upon 1t sat Cupid, In
a wreath of forget-me-nots, holding
a high pyramid of large roses over
a large, circular spider web, with
two hearts entangled In it!
The star must have recognized
that 1t was shining upon the death
lessness of love, and helping it to
share the Christmas fellowship and
