Which, he said, would mean
that there would be a profit 1.-THE diff

Just take a little time. You know
The world was not made in a day,
That real progress was always slow,
And ever it will be that way;
If you aspire to something great,
Then Learn to labor and to wait"
Take just a little time. That haste
In all that you may strive to do,
Will almost surely end in waste,
Is axiom entirely true;
Therefore, in what you would excel,
Take time enough to do it well!
Take time; whatever may betide,
Lay your foundation deep, and strong
If you would have your work abide.
Build we'll, cen tho the time be long;
If you would dire Misfortune mock,
Take time, and. build upon a rockl
Just take a little time and see
How well it pays to p~erserve,
And yet, in toiling, learn to be
Patient, till ripened fruits appear;
Only this way can we make sure

'BABYFACE' nice
To BENNAH,
At THAT

NEW YORK, Oct. ga youth
named Jimmy McLarnin possesses
a technical kayo triumph today
over an ancient gentleman named
Benny Leonard. 1t all happened
in Madison Square Garden last
evening. And when it was all
over folks debated on these
contentious:
l. That McLarnin, being
nice, refined youth, was as
gentle as he possibly could be
with his friend, Benny and
2. McLarnin, although only
26, has gone back so far from
the heights upon which he
once cavOrted that he should
devote himself in future to the
playing of ping pong and
picCOlOS.
Leonard, an old, old man as
athletes go, lost out after two
minutes and SIS seconds of the
sixth round, not really because
of McLarnin's battering but be.
cause he had collapsed almost
completely from exhaustion, due
to numbering around.
It was an exhibition that can
be described best with the word
weird. A few others might fit it
words spoken by those who
Missed and booed McLarnin's wild
swings after the second-but weird
seems to fit the occasion aptly.
A mob of about $4,000 which
passed $4,000 into the garden
Golfers, was there to cheer
Leonard, the idol of the years
that are gone. Beyond an
occasional ripple of applause be-
cause of Benny's gameness, it had
but one chance to hurl a salvo
of happiness at Leonard.

Noble Experiment

So the Judge fever is nipped
In its prime, he is to be for
gotten man, and the same goes
for Sam Rice. That is the feel
ing of those who look on base
ball sentimentally.
If we were asked to express
an opinion, we should say that
the naming of Joe Cronin is a
splendid gesture, a daring one
and one which reflects the
gambling which one must do
in order to be in baseball.
Youth must be served, and
while such an adage makes it
tough on some of the middle
aged boys, as well as the
veterans; baseball, after all is
business, and a young mans
game and the baseball world
will watch the noble Washing
ton experiment with this smooth
faced boy, with a great deal of
interest.
Will, Cronin, therefore, be
another Bucky Harris and land
Washington a pennant in 1888
during his first year as a major
league manager?
Well answer that question for
you in little less than a year
from now.

down to defeat Howard High, of
Wilmington, Del, 10 to II, in
the opening football contest at

The contest, which was bitterly
fought, went into the last five
minutes of play with the count
12-all. Tech then unlaced a line
plunging attack from the visitors

in the winning touchdown.
Howard High scored early in
the first quarter when two long

down. The extra point failed.
A few minutes later on plain
football Tech scored but failed
to add the extra point. Both

Shreve rates Tony Latona's
record next best to Mitchell

Hunt Unlucky
Gilbert Hunt, the youthful
flash, hasn't had much luck
locally, succumbing to crack play
ers in the early rounds of almost
every tournament in which he
participated. But in out-ot-toWn
events he gave an excellent &C.
count of himself.
Gene Herman and Dick Mason
also had flaShy seasons. Herman
slowed down toward the end OF
the wear after fine start. Mason
only took part in two tourna-
ments, but in both he reached
Mitchell and each time managed
to take a set from him.
"The showing of local boys

heartening. The annual tour
