sensed the meaning of the tears in the
up!ifted face and good-naturedly re-
stored the treasure. You can't tell for
certain about anything. Nobody can
which makes this world such a fine,
mysterious place to live in.
But. all the same, II you ever were
acquainted with the squirrels in the
woods back Of the farm you will un-
derstand that they are smart in more
ways than one-as this second small
story will show:
Two early-bird women were trudging
through the unbroken snow that came
along a little while back. Near Lafay-
cite Park they almost stepped on tiny
squirrel that had most likely strayed
from the White House grounds and lost
it's bearings in the waste OF high-piled
snow. It was a friendly mite OF q
thing, and so tame that 1t kept Its bolt
upright position with paws in prayerful
pose and it's brush raised as II be-
sceching notice.
Both women stopped to lament Its
helpless condition:
"You poor little thing" said the one
who made the larger tracks. I've a great
mind to take you home, for you never
in the world will find your way to shell
ter. You may talk all you want to
about the wisdom of nature, but to leave
a creature like this, too small and too
stupid to take care Of ITSELF call II
downright barbarous. Come to muvver
you poor little sing"
This maternal invitation must have
appealed to the squirrel, for 1t hoped

stretched hand--or, maybe 1t only want
ed to see If the hand held nut-but
anyhow-the woman gave sudden
| ejaculation of horror for a milk truck
had whizzed around the corner and on
! the truck was a dog. The dog, seeing
, the squirrel, leaped out And the squir-
/ rel, seeing the dog, flashed mp a tree
! 1t looked like vindicatlon for nature
! II love dogs" chirped the woman
| who made the smaller tracks. wouldn't
take ANYTHING for our Snap. But they
! are awfully cruel, the way they Kill
! squirrels and birds"
Then the women trudged on and an
| other woman behind. who had beer
! fording along in their footprints, no
, ticed that one of the kindheartec
women wore a neckpiece of gray squir'
{ rel and the others hat had de-droor
! of blue bird wings.
But the poor. helpless squirrel, hav.
ing triumphed over the dog, was frisk-
ing away across the snow as If it wert
chuckling over its own little joke.

may wear the crown some day, but it would be stretching matters be- yond the limit of common sense to say that the title vacated by Gene Tunney will be at stake September 26.
 Ioughran is confident that he can defeat Sharkey, but says he does not feel that this would cntitlp him to the heavyweight championship.
 "1 can beat Schmelinc. too," said Tommy simply. He would be easier than Sharkcy."
 Loushran believes, as do many boxing critics, that Schmeling lacks the experience necessary to a cham pionship contender. This group be- heves that Joe Jacobs has some such feeling himself and that the Gimin- Etive manager deliberately stalled cut of the engagement with Sharkev, who is crafty veteran for all his faults.
 Another angle to be considered. however, is that Madison Square Garden no longer wields the arbi- . trary power of old. Carey did everything in his power. as he says. to bring about the Sharkey- SchmeI- ing match, and failed. Whatever his feelings towards Jacobs, and they are frankly bitter, Tex Rickard's S

In a letter from friend in Jer- sey. we are informed that Merwin Jacobson, former local boy, who has been a figure in the International league for'many years, is being used only as a utility man with Newark at the present time. Jake's legs are not as good as they used to be and he is used in the role of pinch hit- ter and sometimes as relief pitch CT in the league games. ,-,
 Ills name appears in the box scores only infrequently and this has led many of his friends here to question why he doesn't play regu- larly. The information from the "Skeeter" State should inform them Bonds of the teams entered in the City championship playoff now in progress between seven teams, are due and payable Saturday be- fore 12 o'clock.
 Three games are scheduled in the playoff for next Sunday. These in clude the meeting between the Cor bin Red Sox and Holy Cross clubs at the Washington grounds; the bat tie between kensington and the Fai- 7 cons at St. Mary's and a clash be- tween the Sokols and Senecas at Willow Brook park.
 Probably the most interest of all IS centered in the game at the Washington grounds between the Red Sox and the Holy Cross aggre- gation. Following the upset which marked the victory of the Holy Cross team over Kensington last Sunday, there will be plenty of rooters for both the Holy Cross and the Red Sox at the game.
 , kensington and the Falcons ayill be reviving a rivalry that has last ed for four or n1ore seasons. These two teams fly at each other every time they meet and the fireworks are sure to burst Sunday.
 Two postponed games will be played off Friday afternoon at Wal nut Hill park in the Rotary Bows league. These were scheduled to b., played on July 29. Vance will meet Willow Brook and Paradise Park will meet Nathan Hale.
 The Sokols will practice tonight at 6:3O o'clock at the Stanley Quar- ter park diamond.

League leaders will meet cellar champions in the only game ,sched- uled tonight in the Industrial Baseball League, the lineup being Stanley Works vs New Britain Ma chine. The contest will be played at 5:30 o'clock on Diamond No. at Walnut Hill park.
 The Buttmakers, without any question, are the top heavy favorites to turn back the Newmatics. In their recent games, the Machiners have had little success in winning but, as the old saying goes, the bucket may be kicked over at any minute.
 The leading teams in the league face a hard and rocky path before the season is finally at an end and before the concluding curtain is drawn for the season of 1929, any thing might happen.
 Four clubs are still in the running for the piorship, including Stanley Works. Fafnirs, Landers and Corbins, and it will be scramble in the next two weeks to see which outfit will eventually win out.
 One definite decision will be reached next Tuesday night when Fafnirs and Landers meet. Another will be settled Thursday night when Stanley Works battles P. S F. Cor bin. Still another question will be settled on Tuesday, August 20 when Fafnirs and Stanley Works clash and by that time. with the final game being played Thursday. August 22, the championship will have been decided.

RUTH CHASING LEADERS
Babe Has Total of 2S HOmcrs for the Season and Bids Fair to Take Crown Again.

Philadelphia, Aug. 8 (UP)-Hav- ing cleared the bases twice in two days with homers, Babe Ruth, with a total of 2S for the season, is rap idly overriding the leaders and promises to retain the circut-c -clout- ing championship this year.
 Ahead of the Babe are Chuck Klein of the Phillies, with 33. Hack Wilson of the Cubs with 30 and Mel Ott of the Giants with 29. Almost front,

out as do those of, say. Tilden among the men of somewhat later date. She won three consecutive national women's championships in 1908. 1911 and 1912. and repeated in 191s after Molla Mallory had risen to thE heights. She also won the national doubles six times from 1909 10 193S5 the national mixed doubles six times, f3 indoor titles, singles, doubles and mixed doubles and the Olympic and the Wimbledon doubles once each. .E
 Unranked at her own request, Mrs. Wightman last year won her way to the final eight in the women's na- tional tournament, and might have had a place among the first 10 for less than the asking. It is her theory that veteran players should step aside when they have passed their peak. leaving the point of honor for the rising stars.
 The former champion will see acs ton only in the final match of the cup play on Saturday when she and Miss Jacobs oppose Mrs. Phyllys Coz we'll and Mrs. Dorothy Shepherdr Barron.
