 when the merry lark doth gild with his song the summer hours, And their nests the swallows build Tn the roofs and tops of towers And the golden broom flower burns All about the waste, r And the maiden May returns With pretty haste Then merry are the timesl
 The spring times; the summer tmesl Now, from of the aShy stone The chilly midnight cricket crieth, And all the merry birds are flown, And our dream of pleasure dleth; Now the once blue, laughing sky Saddens into gray, The frozen rivers sighs Pining all awayl
 Now, how solemn are the timeSl The winter tnnesl the night timeSI Yet be merry; all around Is through one vast change revolving; Even night, who lately drowned, Is in paler dawn dissolving; Earth will burst her letters strange, And in spring grow free; All things in the world will change, Save-my love for theel

TO Become Deodloeked
with z Out in 7th

For seven and two-thirds
innings last night, another up
set appeared ready to be writ
ten into the books of the Twi-
light Softball Leagues Red di-
vision.
But when another inning
and one-third had been added,
the clash between Leander and
Nesbitt's at Covered Wagon was
written off according to the
form sheet, with a 1911 victory
for the favored Leander team.
Nesbitt's, slashing at two
Leander hurler for ID safeties,
held 11-8 lead with two men
out in the seventh inning. Then
Bob Klein, with two strikes on
him, waited out a walk and
single by Louie Trombley and
a double by Gordon Trombley,
followed by an error at first,
pushed three runs across to tie
the count at I'LL for Leander.
TWO-BASE ERROR
In the eighth frame, a two
base error at first put Dave In
man on and he scored later. on
a wild pitch. Don Froberg fol-
lowed him to first on a walk,
scoring on an error at short, for
the 1911 win.
Nesbitt's had gained a So
lead by the end of the second
and in the fourth added three
more runs, spanked by Ken
Schwark's two-run homer. An,
error led to another tally in the
fifth and three hits, including
a double by Mcintyre, tackled
on a pair more of runs in the
sixth.
Meanwhile, Leander kept
their runs more scattered, never
collecting more than two until
the seventh frame. A tvo-run
homer by Don Klein in the fifth
was the high mark.
PAIR HIT 1000
Two Nesbitt's batters hit the
coveted 1000 goal for the eve
ming. Wandt marked four sim
giles in a like number of trips
while Schwartz had three sim
giles and a homer in four. Three

PHILADELPHIA, July Z -
R)-Bob Montgomery, until a
few,zDonths' ago regarded as the
uncrowned lightweight cham
pion, stands at the crossroads of
his fight career tonight.
The Philadelphia Negro tan
giles with Sammy Angott, light
weight champion from Washing

a non-title 12-rounder at Shibe
Park that is expected to draw
close to 10000 spectators and
gross $4,000.
Twice beaten by Angott in
two previous meetings at Shibe
Park and Madison Square Gar
de, Montgomery must win to-
night to regain the prestige he
lost when A7gott decisioned
him last March 6 in New York.
Determined to ruin Angotts
scheduled July 81 fight with
Ray Robinson in New York,
Montgomery has altered his
style during training at Sum-
NIT, N. j. instead of his usual
bob and weave tactics he plans
to punch away at long range in
an effort to put the champion to
sleep. His mode of fighting
brought him knockouts over
