There's n symmetry of motion
To my sympathetic notion
In the pitcher as lie curves the ball;
There's an idyl great In dlctiOn,
Quite exciting as fiction
In the batter when he llies the wall.
And the pose Of grace and beauty
OF the catcher doing duty,
is an epic quite exceeding all.
But for poetry of motion,
To my unpretentious notion,
There's nothing like the umpirc's gall.

Cardinal Gibbons stated in an inter.

porter yesterday regarding the recent
condemnation of the Knights of Labor:
eve hold that If Il man joins soci-
ETY., swearing never to reveal any of it'
workings, no matter how criminal, and
to obey the dictates of its officers
blindly, he surrenders his personal lib
erty, becomes slave to his fellow
man, and cannot partake of the sNcra-
ments of the Church. On the other
hand, If man joins an organization
swearing to keep secret its workings,
with the proviso that nothing therein
shall be contrary to the laws of the
land, to his conscience and religious
tenets, we hold that his action Is per
fectly justhablc. The whole question
as to The Church's attitude toward the
Knights Of Labor depends on which Of
these oaths the momSers take. lf ,le
