Washington VIII Meet the Browns To-
Day-BOstOn ut ChicngO.

Fresh from two straight victories over
the champions at Chicago, the Washington
team will open q series at Sportsmans Park
to day that may prove the means OF e-e-
waiting the Browns INTO first place. Though
a second-diylsIon team. the senators nave
always proved stubborn opponents Tor 81:
LGJ-is On their first trip mere they took ali
but ore game of the series, and any team
that can down the White Sox twice is sure
ly entitled to respect and consideration.
. The series Is the last that will be played
at the Grand avenue park until August Is.
The Senators are here for three games, att
er which the Browns will depart for their
farewell tour of the East. The series which
begins to-day may elevate the Browns and
may drop them. Boston is close 10 the
Browns, while the .ocal team would have
been but a game behind the champions had
they won yesterdays game Boston and
Chicago begin series To-Day. If the men
from the Hub can take two of the games
they will pass St. Louis. unless the Browns
maintain their present position by drIbbing
the Senators. Two games Won from Wash
ington and Two Boston victories will mean
first place for the Browns before the end
of the present series. 1t is possible for the
locals 10 take the lead Sunday and It is
also possible for them to drop. Another un-
certain element enters into the situation
in the Philadelphia-Detroit series. The Ath-
letics are four games behind the Browns

as he was the small brother of Sweet
Mary Gerrish" he accepted the bride
of an English deerhound to inform his
Sister that George Washington had
come with a fine horse and sidesaddle
to ask her TO ride.
At that period George was II years
old, and on this memorable ride the IA
Their of our country proposed after this
fashion:
"Look at the hand, Miss Mary. 1t
yours!"
Miss Mary, who was several years
older than her lovesick swain, gave a
merry laugh.
"Why, what in the world would do
with that hand, Master Washington?
l have two hands of my own!"
When he made his meaning clearer
she informed hira gently that she was
already engaged 10 that Maj. Tren-
holm who afterward was arrested as
a traitor, pardoned by Gen. Washing
ton and sent back to England in a
sloop-of-war. Washington did this a t
the solicitation of that sweet Mistress
Mary" and the mammoth hand she had
refused and ridiculed received her
parting kiss as a bene diction when she
thanked him and bade him farewell to
follow her husband to his own coun-
try.
When Lafayette visited Mount YER
non for the last time he said TO Mr..
Custis, the stepson of Washington,
while recalling a former visit:
you were then holding by single
finger of the good generals remark
able hand, which was all that you could
do, my dear sir, at that time"
We are told of that wonderful hand
that if cast of it could have been pre-
served TO be exhibited in these DAYS
of physical degeneracy it would be said
to belong TO being of fabulous age.
His unusual size was not, however, a
distinction of the age in which he lived,
but, taken together with his breadth
of vision, his qualities as leader and
his executive ability, it made him in all
requirements great man. Napoleon
l, was a pygmy when compared TO
Washington, but he greatly admired
the man who could so successfully ad-
minister national affairs through ter
rible crisis to safe conclusion. and as
he lamented his own small stature did
he in proportion admire Washington's.
Whenever he met one of our country
men abroad he was certain TO ask:
How is the greatest American, Wash
ington?"

EV of athletic games, and the power
"a of his hand and arm was dis
played in several memorable instances
He flung a stone across the Rappahan-
mock, and in 1772, when he was 40 years

Their than any man of his time. The
story of his throwing a silver dollar
across the Potomac lacks actual con-
frmation, and it must have surely been
q feat of later years, as the silver dol
lar was less common then than now.
1t might have been a Spanish or Next
can dollar. The explanation that a
dollar went further in those days than
these is almost as old as the story.
Among the amusing stories of our
first president told in minor history
and in legendary lore are those which
endow him with miraculous powers of
endurance, giants stature and hands
of such size that none other ever
equaled him, they being of gigantic
dimensions. A pretty story of his first
wooing, at the early age of II, writes
NJ. L. Rayne, in the Chicago Time Her
aid, introduces his hand with dramatic
effect.
The time was the year of grace 177s,
and the place was Mount Vernon, a
beautiful romantic site in Fairfax
county, Virginia, on the right bank of
the Potomac, and within Is miles of
Washington, ID. c., as it now stands.
There it was that a small boy in
roundabout and knickerbockers saw a
gay cavalier exercising pair of saddle
horses, while he talked in the sylvan
solitude, believing himself alone.
"Will you ride with me, Miss Mary?
Miss Mary, will you ride with me? May
1 have the honor of your company for
a ride this afternoon? Sweet Mistress
Mary, will you accept me for your gall
LIANT to ride at your stirrup. Peace,
Queen Bess, or I'll larrup you with the
whip! Whoa, jade! Sweet Mistress
Mary, am George Washington, at
your command"
The small boy of that day was no i'm
provement on his prototype of this.
He answered in fiutelike voice with
q hooking cadence:
Marry now, sweet Mistress Mary,
may 1 ride with you, or will you ride
with me, or go alone at your own sweet
will? Hal Ha! Hol"
The youngster laughed wickedly at
the discontinue of the youthful

horses to administer punishment, but

Elizabeth's heart was full OF grateful

she said, softly. Then her mind went
back to a strange thing that occurred.
While Mrs. Noble was fitting the gar

voices of two men in an adjoining

THE FAITH OF
WASHINGTON

Washington was reverent of every
thing that was sacred. The impress
sion that the profane use of the name
of God made upon him is shown by this
order, issued while he was commander
In chief of the army:
headquarters, Moors House
West Point. July 49, 1779.
Many and pointed orders have been is
sued against the unmeaning and abomina-
BILE custom OF swearing, notwithstanding
which. with much regret the general OBJ
serves that II prevails. II possible. more
than ever; his feelings are continually
wounded by the oaths and imprecations Of
the soldiers whenever he is In hearing Of
them. The name OF the Being from whose
bountiful goodness We are permitted to
exist and enjoy the comforts of life Is in :
cessantly imprecated and profaned in a
manner as Wanton as II is shocking.
For the sake, therefore, OF religion, de-
cency, and order, the general hopes and
trusts that officers OF every rank will use
their influence and authority TO check a
vice which is as Improbable as IL 10 wicked
and shameful.
Words that ring as true as when they
were uttered more than a hundred
years ago.
Washington was not only believer
in prayer, but a man of prayer. Many
instances of this are related. How on
one occasion he sought shelter from
storm for the night at house where
he was unknown, and where, owing TO
the dangers Of the war, he was received
with fear and doubling. butwhen, after

him in prayer, she exclaimed TO her
husband: Nov l know that he is a
good man, and we are safe" The story
of the sufferings Of the little American
army through that darksome winter
at Valley Forge will be told as long as
our history endures. And as part Of il
will endure the oft-told incident of
how as the good old Quaker owner of
the house Washington occupied as
headquarters was out alone one day he
was startled by hearing solemn voice.
Going toward IL he saw a horse tied to
a sapling tree, and then, half hidden
by thicket of underbrush, Washing
ton himself on his knees in prayer, his
cheeks wet with his tears, as solitary
and apart he prayed for help and guild
ance in that hour Of extremity. II is
not strange that good Mr.. Potts should
have been greatly moved by the sight.
as hurrying home, with tears in his
own eyes, he told his wife of what he
had seen, adding: "If there is any
man on earth that the Lord will listen
to II is George Washington; and feel
presentiment that under such a COM
mander there is no doubt but in the
