some odd persons witnessed a hot contest

their credit. BY winning today Poolesville

was willing to take a chance
All during the first game chaos reigned
supreme on account of Connollys de-
cisions, and at the termination of the con-
test he OF the one eye followed a New
York player into the dressing room and
provoked a fight
AS Connolly wore a glass eye. he always
took 1t out and placed ii in his pocket
when going into action. but on this occa-
sion he was hit so quickly that he didn't
have time 10 take out the glass optic The
blow broke the skin on his forehead. and a
regular stream OF blood gushed down his
face. Still he was game, and as he backed
toward the door he plucked out the eye
The blood flowing down his face so blinded
him now that 1t was impossible for him
to see, and all Of a sudden the New York
players heard him Shrek: 'Mercifui
heavens! wonder if took out the good
eYe2'
Only one more game did Connolly UNI
pre. and this time he gave such a rank
decision, by calling one of the local players
out at second, that the entire population
of Hoboken made for him. But Connolly
saw them coming. and away he sped for
the gate with the crowd at his heels.
Jumping into a milk wagon, he tuTnbled
the astonished driver into the street and.
standing up the dashboard. he laid the
whip to the horse, while milk cans toppled
over and their contents left a white trail
clear to ConnolIys hotel.
D&shing into the hotel office Connolly
shouted to the amazed clerks: Mr.. Con-
nollys not at home to callers" Then he
took the steps two at time. An immense
crowd assembled about the hotel, while
ConnDlly had his dinner behind the locked
door of his room.
At 1920 the crowd was still in the street
waiting to take a crack at the umpire and
Connolly wanted to get back to New York
that night. So a happy thought struck
him, and making megaphone of his hands
he shouted:
THE umpire reverses his decision. The
man was safe at second.

ADDRESS ON SOCIALISM.
Prof. Monaghan Entertains Large
Audience in K. of @. Temple.

Immediately following a short business
session Of Spalding Council. No. AT,
knights of Columbus, held at the K of Z.
Temple. COG street northwest Thursday
evening, Prof. ]. c. Monaghan Of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor delivered
an address on Socialism The hall was
thrown open to the public, and a large
audience was in attendance. Mr.. Monag-
han said in part:
The world has often wondered at the
attitude of the people in Catholic countries
toward the monks and 1nonasteries. why.
1t Is asked, do the people so often and In
SO many places hold the monks In con-
tempt? They have been kind to the people
in the past. They educated the masses,
made it possible for them to achieve pros
perity and some progress. Why then do
the people detest these the best and most
generous, seemingly, of their benefactors.
Tho cause Is easily found The monks be-
came masters of the land. They doled out
as a charity, or in so-calied kindness, what
the people wanted chance to earn for
themselves. The people wanted the lands
owned by the monks.
I'VE have the same question today. The
people do not want charity; they want
chance to work for themselves. And.
ward for itself anS by i.se Rashs is b aR
ter built, sturdier and stronger than one
that has to be bolstered up by others.
That Is why I am not in favor Of Carnegie
the Carnegies and Rockefelers pay out the
huge SURPRISES taken in by means of false
economic conditions to the miners in the
mines, to the men at the forge, in the foun-
dries and factories and the people will put
up their own churches, schools and libra
ries. They did it in the past. They can
do 1t now.
The world in which we live Is a discon-
tented one. Take Russia's discontent-it Is
nihilism. Over the borders in the German
empire we find socialism, considerable ad-
vance on nihilism. In England we get the
labor problem in place of socialism. In this
country we have what England has, the
labor question-plus tendency TO social
ism"
Continuing. Prof Monaghan quoted: :" BY
their fruits We shall know Them" and ex-
planned his purpose to talk not entirely or
socialism, but of few OF its leaders he
proceeded to give a minute history of them
and of the work they had accomplished.
His arraignment Of Maxim Gorky, the
lola of the SIavs," who recently arrived
in this country. was most pronounced.

In his opening address Grand Master
Samuel c. Palmer said: You are all aware
of the steps which have been taken in
furtherance of this great and glorious en-
terprse, especially the great fair to be

ADDRESS BY FAIRBANKS.
To Members Of M. e. Conference
South at Birmingham,

South at Birmingham.
The feature Of yesterdays session of the
general conference of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church South at Birmingham, Ala was
the address last night by Vice President
Fairbanks, fraternal delegate from the
Northern Methodist Episcopal Church. The
immense auditorium of the First Church
was packed to hear the address, and hun
dreds were turned away, unable to gain en-
trance.
Congratulating Birmingham upon having
become the Pittsburg of the south, the Vice
President said that to the natural advan-
tages for g. great industrial development
must be added stable conditions. righteous
laws administered with sober judgment. so
as to inspire men with confidence. He said
that communities which are great and
strong are not builded alone upon the pres
emit, but they are also erected upon conf
dence in the future. Continuing, he said:
1--WE must see that our laws are not die
tated by passion or prejudice; that they are
inspired by exalted purpose; that they are
to bear upon all with impartiality; that ia
vors are not to be granted to one and de-
MED to another; that the way shall be open
for each and every American with absolute
impartiality In the race Of life
I'VE should beware of the blighting eff
fects of hysteria. We should avoid 1t in
either the enactment Of our laws or In their
enforcement. Our interests are too mighty
and our destiny too great to give ourselves
over to the minimizing, to the opportunist.
to those who take no thought of today and
tomorrow. We have attained to the leader
ship of the world because we have been q
great level-headed, conservative people;
because we have deliberated upon the great
questions of humanity, of trade and COM
merce; because we have mastered them
We have progressed as a people because We
have solved the problems Of the hour In the
light of the great fundamental principles
which were beQueathed to US by our
fathers.
Conditions may change, but principles OF
justice are as immutable as fate. So long
as we adhere to them so long as we make
our course square with them, we cannot go

The new Masonic Temple project, al
though the temple has long been the dream

take tangible form ten years ago. During
that period ten able men have held the
supreme Masonic authority. each and ell
OF whom have devoted themselves earnest
ly and effectively to the work. and to
whom all Masonic organizations have given
willing allegiance. The story of the
progress of the Masopic enterprise to the

81 know of no subject which appeals more

than the project for a new temple. and yet
while there Is doubtless need for quar-
ters more In keeping with the dignity i'm
portance and requirements of our growing
numbers, 1t is cause of congratulation to
be able to feel that, although the Masonic
Temple Association has all along had in Its
composition and makeup men possessing
the requisite enthusiasm to undertake and
carry through successfully anything with
in reason, their enthusiasm has been tenn
pered with a proper amount of conversa
tism to insure that there will be no hasty
or fll-advised action taken; that there will
be no steps backward. but that every step
