Baby Shoes

(fsy Florence Berner)
Dear little, fair little baby shoes
Stand by the fireside, bright, s
Telling Of him who is fast asleep
In his wee crib tonight.
Dusty and muddy though they may be
Still they my heart enthusc,
Fill it with rapture and joy and bliss,
Little red baby shoes.
Dear little, fair little baby shoes,
Where have you been all day?
Running around this whole big farm,
Busy and happy at play;
Seeking new treasures of tinsel bright,
Never moment lose,
Hithcr and thithcr, the whole day long,
Little red baby shoes.
Dear little, fair little baby shoes,
What would you like to say?
You seem SO lonely all by yourselves,
Longing to run away.
Wait till tomorrow, when tiny feet
Their own gay path will choose,
humping and scuffing you all day long, Z
Little red baby shoes.
Dear little, fair little baby shoes,
Mothers the whole world round
Sing as they hurry about their work
Where baby shoes are found;
Sad are the hearts where nc little feet
Tenderest joy infuse,
Lonely and drear are the homes tonight
Who claim no little baby shoes.
Dear little, fair little baby shoes,
How all my heart would ache
We're you removed from your chosen place.
Never again to wait;
Gone would be rapture and joy and bliss
l should their presence lose,
Were you not here by the firesidc bright,
Little red baby shoes.
Dear little, fair little baby shoes,
Years must so swiftly 60.
Soon ytufs small owner will be man,
Brave and true-heartel, know:
Then I will treasure you carefully,
Over you 4ft-tlmes muse,
Dreaming and thinking Of bygonc days,
Little red baby shces

BY JIMMY TOWERS
NEA Service Writer

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-Jess
Sweetser, former British and Ameri-
can amateur champion, is through
with tournament golf-not for this
season alone, but for all time.
One of the games most belligerent
and spectacular stars has decided
definitelyfto follow the example of
another great player, Miss Joyce
Wethered, former women's cham
pion Of Great Britain.
This writer, missing Jess at the U.
S. open at Oakmont and hearing
that despite his recovery from his
illness and the fact that he was
shooting well in minor meets, jour
neyed up to Siwanoy and stumbled
on an eyebrow raising yarn.
Too Much Strain
"You fellows who play for the fun
of it do not realize how lucky you
are," Jess explains. "You cannot
begin to imagine the strain of
championship golf You go out for
friendly twosome or foursome and,
with a few exceptions, all is laughter
and conversation. That is as it
should be.
"If you have new club, you try
it out during the match. If it fails
you, you have done little to injure
your reputation as golfer. 1t is
just another shot gone wrong.
"You may lose the hole as the re-
suit, but 1t Is unlikely there will be
be any headings in the newspapers
about it next day.
when a champion, or one who
has been a champion, plays over a
links for the first time he is ex-
pected to lower the course record.
Every shot has to be studied careful
ly, and no mistakes must be made.
| Tor every eye is on the champion. If
he fails to shoot brilliant golf there
is much to do about it.
Pleasure Fades
att is not worth 1t. The strain
taxes all the pleasure away from the
game.
Championship golf is not recre-
alton; 1t is hard work.
Il have stood beside my ball and
felt perspiration oozing from everv
pore-and the weather would not
necessarily be hot, either"
1t will be remembered at this
point that Jess nearly lost his life
from an illness that grew more
acute following the strain of his
gallant battle in the 1926 British
amateur championship.
AS Recreation
1T hope to play golf indefinitely
but no more Of the big league stuff
Tor me. There is less fun In that
sort OF golf and I'm going to try to
get all the recreation possibly can
get out Of it-but I'm not going after
anything else.
I may play in a few tourna-
ments but I will be playing to anuse
