This was Washington Masonic night at
the Masonic bazaar at Armory Hall. The
Washington members Of the craft filled
the hall and as many more local people
scrambled for admission. 1t was one OF
the best nights in point of attendance

night last.
The Washingtonians present included
officers of the Grand Lodge and Most
Worshipful Master Simpson, members of
many of the blue lodges. Knights Temp

The visitors were welcomed on behalf OF
the local fraternity by Worshipful Master
j. Edward Shinh of Alexandria Washing
ton Lodge Most Worshipful Master
Simpson of the District of Columbia made
fitting response.
1t was about o'clock when the mem
bers of the Almas Temple arrived in their
bright regalia. They were the principal
attraction during the evening. Owing to
the congested condition of the hall 1t was
impossible to give the drill that had been
planned for the occasion.
With the floor and gallery packed to
their capacity, it was a great sight to
witness the big crowd wind its way
through the hall amid a perfect bedlam
of noise The fair matrons and maids.

the fair, had but little trouble in securing
chances and many a dollar was turned
into the Golfers of the bazaar by the big
crowd present the Washingtonians swell
ing the receipts considerably.
The crowd In attendance tonight was a
truly good-natured one. People elbowed
one another to make their way from
one end of the hall to the other, while
the orchestra enlivened the occasion with
music. The Washington visitors seemed
we'll pleased with the evenings entertain
ment and left for their homes on three
special trains at late hour.
This closes the first week of the bazaar,
and the officers and managers are highly
eiated over its success. 1t is said that

Bradley was more adept against the De-
troit pitchers in sacrificing than either
Ganley or Lord. Eight times he made
sacrifices while facing the Tiger twirlers,
five of them off Mullin.
Against Cleveland pitchers Ganley had
a little something on Schaefer and Lord.
Ganley made three off Falkenberg and
Lord three off Joss. but all of Ganley's
were. in the one game. In all Ganley sac
rificed twelve times against Cleveland.
Bradley and Lord were tied against
Chicago twirlers, each having eight. Can
ley had seven and Schaefer four. Three
of Brad's were against Frank Smith,
while both Ganley and Lord made three
against Altrock.
Bradley also led against the st. Louis
FINGERS, with nine. six of which were
made off Barney Petty. Schaefer divided
his eight equally between Howell, Pow
ell. Waddell and Graham.
GaHley was strongest against Boston S
pitchers, registering thirteen sacrifice hits,
his largest number being three against
Young and Cicotte.
Athletic Fingers Easy for Bradley.
Bradley starred against the Athletic
twirlers with seventeen, six of which
were against Dygert and five against
Nickers. Schaefer had ten, Lord seven
and Ganley' five, the big four making
more sacrifice hits against Mack's pitch
ers than those of any other team-thrty
nine in all.
Bradley also had the best of the argu-
ment against the Washington pitchers,
sacrificing ten times. His best work was
against Smith and Falkenberg-two
against each.
Against New York Ganley had eight
sacrifice hits, Schaefer six, Bradley five
and Lord two. Chesbro yielded up seven
of the number-one to Lord and three to
each of the others.
The instances where any player made
three sacrifice hits during the past sea-
son were few and far between. Glen
Iiebhardt. the Maps spit" ball pitcher
was the first to turn the trick. He made
three sacrifice hits off Glade and Lake Of

Bill Bradley First and Bob
GanIey a Very Close
Second.

Too little credit in base ball is given the
man who sacrifices himself time and
again for the benefit of is team. Fans
don't even give him passing notice. al
though he may have been as big a fac
tor. in the victory as any man on the
team.
1t is the man who makes a sensational
catch. retiring the side and preventing a
run or two. as the case may he. the
man who makes a timely hit that scores
the winning run who comes in for the
praise of the fans
No matter if man aids in a
victory with sacrifice hit two. the
fans seem To forget that he was a potent
factor i'll winning the game. They over
look the fact that it was necessary for
him Ia sacrifice himself in order to adj
vance the runner from first to second, so
that he might score on a clean single. or
from second to third, in order that he
might register on fly ball caught by an
outfielder
Random can only recall the man who
snote the horsehide at the trying mo-
ment. forgetting altogether about the
man who laid down the bunt. never real

However. fandom is tickle, but the fact
that they are overlooked for their part in
the victory must CRATE OF the nerves Of
the clever sacrificers of the game.

MAPLE SUGAR
MAKERS FACE
HARD FAIES
Production Exceeds the Demand
and Important Industry
Suffers Seriously.

NEW YORK, March 22.-Ohio maple
sugar makers are discouraged be-
cause of the big drop in the price of
mapel syrup when the market opened.
An unprecedented amount of syrup
was made in February, nearly as
much as is usually made in the en-
tire spring season. Buyers had long
refused to name any price or contract,
but finally sixty cents was announced
for bulk syrup by buyers. Next day
the price dropped to forty-five cents
for twelve pounds. Farmers declare
the low price, the lowest in ten years.
is the result of an agreement among
buyers. Dealers say the low price is
due to the fact that there is consider
able ora syrup still held by farmers.
This is denied. A year ago. at eighty
five cents gallon, it took several
hundred thousand dollars to handle
the maple industry in Geauga county
The big drop in price will take from
$3.50 to 100000 out of the fran
ers.

COLUMBUS MAY SECURE
ORlTOR|CAL CONTESTS

| COLUMBUS, Miss, March 22.-It is
very probable that the Mississippi In.
tercollegiate Oratorical association
will select Columbus as the place for
holding it's annual contest, to be par
ticipated in by representatives of the
University of Mississippi, Mississippi
college, Millsaps college, and Missis-
sippi A. and M. college.
1t is known that the student body
at theh university favor the selection
of Clumbus, and doubtless the same
opinion prevails among the students
at the A. and M. college, owing to
their proximity to the Lowndes coun-
ty capital. There have been no ex-
pressions from Millsaps college and
Mississippi college on the subject.
The executive committee of the as
ISOLATION will meet within the next
few Gays fer the purpose of naming
the time and place for the contest.
Each OF the four institutions has
named its representative, and they
are busily engaged in preparing their
orations.
Millsaps college still holds the high
est honors, having captured the med
al six times during the past twelve
years, and the student body is hoping

for another victory at the thirteenth

One strong argument advanced in
favor of Columbus is that the main
auditorium of the Industrial Institute
and college will furnish ample accom-
modations for the great crowd that
will be in attendance. At some of the
debates in theh past the buildings in
which they were held were insufficient
to hold the student bodies of the four
institutions, to say nothing of the cit
izen spectators.
