ALL IN A DAY =

The city editor swore softly
and hung up the phone. He
swung around in his chair.
Williams. Dutton. Miss
James," he called.
The three reporters arose
from their desks and grouped
themselves around him.
Paper Is Too Dry
Bad news, folks" said the
city editor. "The boss just
called. Said the paper Is too
dry these days. He wants more
human interest stuff. You three
are my best reporters. No mat
ter what your assignments are
in the future, dig up some hui
man interest stories on the
side"
Dutton drummed the desk.
"Yeah?" he muttered. And
where are they gonna come
from?"
The city editor turned back
to his work.
That's your job" he ad-
vised softly. I'm just giving
you your orders. Now screw.
Williams was the studious
type of newspaper man. AS he
himself could tell you, he was
going to amount to something
all right. There wasn't doubt
in his mind that he was going
to write the great American
novel some day, with a Pulitzer
Prize play tossed in for good
measure.
But he had plenty of time.
He knew that.
Good Lord, fellows" he as
serted, I'm only q years of
age. I'm studying and learning
all the time. I'll get there, but
I can't do it in a day. And be-
sides, you mustn't forget that
have plenty of worries on my
mind"
The man did have plenty of
worries. He was the sole sup
port of his mother, and the girl
he had married four years be-
fore had been in Saranac al
most six months now. His sal
ary was inadequate; pitifully
so for all his needs. With a
very sick wife and a complain
ing mother. the strain was great.
Yet Williams always managed
to smile and hope for the fu-
ture.
And even as he was the CASH
ier in the newspaper office was
slipping a pink note into Will
liam's pay envelope; the enve-
lope he would receive on the
morrow.

Les Stevens and his Diplomats,

HUMAN INTEREST

Immediately In order 10 meet
current conditions.
Dutton was the oldest Of the
three reporters. For twenty-five
years he had been working on
daily papers In the city OF New
York. His father before him
had been a ncwSpaper man. and
he had pleaded with the boy
to turn to some other business.
His father had died. and the
years had flown by. He had
had chances to get out Of the
game: chances that might have
brought him an important in
come. But somehow or other
he had neglected them all. And
there he was after all those
years. Just an old boozer whose
future was all in the past.
He had a boy of his own now.
He had dreamed that the boy
would become a brilliant lawyer.
And what had happened only
two nights ago? The boy had
told him that he was going to
become a newspaper man.
Dutton had gone out that
night and got blind drunk. He
didn't know that his father had
done the same thing twenty-five
years before. =.
Miss James was a hard-boiled
gal. About thirty years Of age,
she had been a feature writer
on the paper for some time.
Whatever she covered, she cov-
cred we'll. Her sentences we're
short, and very much to the
point. When she wanted to, she
could be positively brilliant.
Miss James wrote her articles
from the woman's viewpoint.
And how she ripped those poor
men apart! Whether it was
the winner Of a sweepstakes or
the man on trial for the torch
murder, Miss James was right
there to tear the poor male
limb from limb.
Kid Miss James
Around the office they some
times kidded Miss James about
her extreme statements.
Now Miss James was a
homely woman. She was thin,
and her skin was bad, and she
was very, very cold. And it
was only when they kidded her
with questions such as that that
she showed any real emotion.
They didn't like it. But they
might have understood far
more than they did if they
could have listened to her at
night in her little home in
Greenwich Village. where she
lived alone. At night? Some
times it was dawn and she was
still crying aloud.

over and over again, please

Award

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-John j.
McGraw, of the Giants and the
old Orioles, was king for a day
in New York last night.
McGraw, guest of honor at the
annual baseball writer's banquet,
received the silver plaque given
annually to the man whose con-
tribution to baseball merits the
award. He heard ringing appeals
for his return to the diamond as
leader of the Giants, the team he
took from the doorsteps of OBJ
scurity and made the toast Of a
league and cheering land.
McGraw may come back to take
another crack at winning pen
nants. The Giants can be bought
right now if anyone has the cash
to lay on the line, it is said.
Herb Pennock, veteran Yankees
southpaw, got the player of the
year plaque. George Herman
Ruth, baseball's most eminent
holdout, met Col. Jacob Rupert,
owner of the Yankees, at the
dinner.
Other celebrities among the 600
guests were Lou Gehrig, Frank
Frisch, Eddie Collins, Charley
Colbert, Ed Lewis, the wrestler;
Pop Warner, Hunk Anderson and
other football coaches, and James
A. Farley.

"YOur son stopped KiIrain in
IS rounds"
To which Mrs. Sullivan was
reported to have replied, after
rolling her apron up around
her bare forearms and pausing
a moment from her household
work:
We'll, all 1 can say is that
he had little t'dO!"
On September Z, 1892, Sulli-
van and James j. Corbett, now
a very sick man, fought the
first battle to determine SUI
premacy in heavyweight circles
under Marquis Of Queensbury
rules with Gloves, and Cor
bett knocked out Sullivan in 81
rounds.
His next and last fight was
the one in 1895, with Tom
Sharkey at Coney Island, which
was a three-round no-decision
exhibition affair.
Such are the highlightS of
John L. Sullivan's life, and as
we say, either a lot of people
are still interested in facts on
Sullivan, or the current crop of
fighters is SO indolent the pub
lie prefers to debate of the
champions who would fight at
the drop of a hat.
