A Rhyme at Twilight

Winter Magic.

" xHtOk W1u6AOs
Nothing more fairylike know
Than dry weeds In q drift Of snow;
Wild carrot tops. standing upright,
Holding thimble cup of white;
A clump of withered goldenrod;
A milkweed stalk with one gray pod;
A few cattails, erect and cool,
Snow-etched against a frozen pool.
Above the drift, in the suns gleam,
Petrified orchids the weeds seem.

F1eeting Fame.


There is ever something lacking,
Though the cup of fame be sweet;
Some Ingredient will be missing
That might make the draught complete.
Though you carve your name in letters
Which posterity must see,
Probably your next-door neighbor
Will be asking, who is he?"
Though you aid your fellow creatures
BY some scientific plan,
The conductor says, "Step lively!"
AS to any other man.
Though today they print your picture
Through the land, from sea to sea,
In six months, if you are mentioned,
They'll be asking, who is he?"

Hi Ho, the sage of Chinatown, should
be protected by silence to prevent it
from being overwhelmed by falsehood." !"

back on other amendments, in recent
years, the name of only one other Sen

instantly to mind-Senator Morris

now no more.
It seems increasingly clear, however,
that the Progressives do not intend to
let the grass grow under their feet in the

they are prepared to go ahead anyway.

GREAT DIAMOND FEATS
 THIS DATE
Hans Wagner Let Vic Safer Score Winning Run in
 Eleventh
October 8, 1911,, at Chicago
FEY BRACE E. JARRETT=

(ThiS Is the best game pulled out Of
 the fire on October Sth)
 When Hans Wagner makes a great play, whether 1t be a stop, a throw, slide, or hit in the pinch, mo- thing out of the ordinary is chron- icled; neither does his occasional error tend to cause much more than passing comment (for, after all, he is only hunan), but, when this self same Flying Dutchman" makes an egregious error in the pinch to de- eide a game that had been viciously fought for eleven innings-then, in- deed, this is news.
 This is just exactly what did oc- cur in deciding this game in favor of the Cubs, 5 to 3, in the eleventh with Doyle disposed of and Safer on second, Needham hit a grounder straight at Wagner; there he stood with his great legs bowed, waiting to smother the ball with those big hams he carries on the end of those long gorilla like arms. The little pel- let continued to speed on without Interruption straight through those straddled out legs, Safer scamper- ing home with the needed run.
 Chicago saved the game twice be- fore winning 1t in the eleventh, ty- ing the score in the seventh to send 1t into extra innings, and again in the tenth, after Pittsburgh had scored in the first half.

 TOP TEN BOUT. PROGRAM
Pinkham, Radigan Bout Shapes Up WeII-Tur-
 cote vs. Strong

Excellent fall weather and prom iSing program of fistcuffs involving 20 amateur boxers from all parts of Connecticut was in prospect this evening to usher in the fall and winter indoor season at Bucking- ham hall and with the coalition of boxers, fighters and what not, a most pleasant evening can be figured upon by Waterbury's fight faith fuls.
 The feature attraction of the eve- ming will show Nick Tarello, the Hartford middleweight sock artist, and Young Bumbo of New Haven. Both boys have won limited fame for themselves throughout the state because of their punching ability and the fans anticipate a real slug fest when they meet tonight.
 Initial Showing
 Tarello will be appearing here for the first time, but he is by no means a newcomer to the ring. His list of victims includes such fa- vorites as Freddie Pease of Willi- mantle, and Irish Mickey Donahue of Stamford; Billy Welsh of Strat- ford, and Charlie Hopkins, another of the Willimantic ring stars.
 Bumbo is an old favorite with the fans due to past performances which have always been of high calibre. He has yet to give 8 dis appointing showing locally and fans Af Trf1Nn do when it comes to handing out punishment. He is known as one of the hardest hitters in state amateur fight circles in his class. Bumbo knocked out Billy Sullivan of Tor rington on the last card presented at the stadium.
 Dick Turcotte, the Waterbury fa- vorite, will show in another of the top attractions. His opponent will be Jimmy Strong of Bridgeport, the negro slugger. In his last match here, Turcotte won over Young War ren of Meriden. Strong, too hold a win over the Silver City mixer. / Torrigton's Lou Murray and Tony Gillo of New Haven have been paired in another of the programs advertised bouts. They appeared or the last card of the outdoor sea- son and fans will remember Gillo coming back strong to win after be- ing hoored for nine count in the opening round. Not in a long time has fans been treated to such a dis play of courage and ring wizardry.
 Looks Good
 Steve Pinkham, Hartford light weight, and Frnakie Radigan of Torrington, a southpaw specialist, will also meet during the evening. Pinkham has a brilliant record and has gone through his last 18 fights without a defeat. Fans are looking forward to one of the best bouts of the evening when these two
 A local grudge battle has been arranged between Charles Thomas negro middleweight, and Ken Rein heart of the South End. Both boys are short on science and the bout should be a slugging duel from the start.

team realize that on Sunday they are tackling a tough assignment and have spared the boys no end They are stressing a strong passing attack for they realize that when the going gets too tough in the line the only thing to do is to resort to the forward pass. A good passing attack is being developed and with Tuckey and Hyharrow singing them the fans and Stratford will be in for a busy afternoon.
