NEWSBOYS GIVE BIG CUP
TO ATHLETE-POLICEMAN
NEW YORK, June 15.—" Babe" Mc-
Donald. the big traffic policem.itn. one
of the leading shot putters on the
American Olympic team, whose uplift
ed arm divides the vehicular stream at
Forty-third street and *Broadway. re
ceived from the newsboys of Longacre
Square a huge silver loving cup. The
presentation ceremony took place
alongside the Forty-third street sub
way kiosk.
The score or so of newsboy contrib
utors toward this token of their love
for the "big feller." who had yanked
many of them from under taxicabsand
defended them against the aggression
of plutocratic limousines, stood In a
close circle around their spokesman
and the "cop" as the presentation was
made. And surrounding them in turn
clustered so big a crowd of applauding
spectators that for once "Babe” Mc-
Donald proved a decided hindrance in
stead of a help to traffic.
