ending in tie. The first goal was made
by Whiting after hve minutes Of hard
playing, he receiving a pass from Logan.
Then BILLY" Coward evened up the score
by making a goal through a clever play.

defense and rush work ever seen on the
Baltimore floor. and it looked at times as
if he were going to tear things" up.
In the second half the Baltimore boys
went on the floor with determined look
on their faces, and they had Il in their
heads 70 win. BY some skilful work OF
Logan they had no trouble in disposing Of
the "Gretna Green" boys. II took Logan
four minutes to shoot the first goal in this
half. Guest for Wilmington played an
excellent game at goal. and was pounded
hard at times. While the Wilmington team
displayed fine team and field work. their
passing was not so accurate as that Of

OLD GUARD POP BY GRACE OF
CONVICTION.

My Dear Sir: - Have received
yours of 28th ult.
The plan have in mind appears
to me to be the most natural and
practical one to initiate and consum-
mate the political reformation pre-
scribed in our Jeffersonian creed.
My faith is in the common people,
composed of the industrial classes
the rank and file of all parties. In
this element the spirit of rs, appar-
emily dormant, still lives. According
to my conception, the proper thing
to do is: To arouse, unity and So
lidify that dormant spirit of patriot
ism. Do this; -organize the indi-
vidual parties into one vast army
ready for mobilization and fight, and,
when the crisis demanding action is
reached, they will sweep away every
Barrier reared by venal minds and
perfidious hands since 1888. The ad-
monitions of history should be our
guide,-our pillar of cloud by day."
