Happenings of Interest in Sharon's
 Religious Circles
 Methodist Church.
 The Young Peoples Patriotic service Sunday night was, in every way a grati- flying success. The auditorium was filled from front to rear. Each number on the program was filled to the credit of the party assigned. Aside from a brief "Vesper Service" conducted by the pas tor, everything was done by the young people of the church. Two features of the service were impressive, the Flag Drill by six young ladies and the sing ing of The Star Spangled Banner. The first three stanzas were sung as a solo, the congregation joining ill the chorus. During the singing of the last stanza and chorus, by the entire congregation, a young lady came forward and held be- fore the audience large and beautiful new flag, surmounting a staff. The effect of the whole was certainly inspiring.
 Next Sunday night there will be Q special service for the installation of the recently elected officers of the Epworth League. This will be not only some- thing entirely new in the Sharon Ep- worth League but in itself will be an in- teresting and impressive service. The new officers are: Louise o. Hansen, president; Mary 0. Mackey, first vice president; Nina Hotaling, second vice president; Mrs. w. J. Hotaling, third vice president; Harry Bartram, fourth vice president; Mabel Liner, secretary; Mrs. Mary E. Loucks, treasurer.
 The Installation service will be fol- lowed by brief address to the League by the pastor.

AS predicted by the writer. the game of ball played Monday afternoon upon the "Kirby Athletic Field. proved a most exciting affair. The much vaunted Woodmen team proved unequal to the task of defeating the boyish Inn team and themselves went down to ignoble defeat. Up to the fifth inning the score was nothing to nothing when EggleSton for the Woodmen scored one run. Nc Donald of the Inn team tied this score in the sixth inning and H. Pitcher of the Inn team scored one run ill the seventh. This made the score 2-1 in favor of the Inn, which score remained unchanged until the ninth when the Woodmen pitcher lost his nerve and five of the Inn team reached home plate. In the last half of the ninth three of the Woodmen scored, aided by fortunate combination of circumstances. This left the final score "A in favor of the of the Inn team. This score is not a fair criterion of the merits of the differ ent teams, as the Woodmen were far outclassed in both pitching and batting. McCabe, the pitcher for the Inn team, struck out r men during the game, thus establishing local record. Only three safe hits were made off him during the nine innings. Considering that this was the first game he ever pitched and that he was faced by so-called good bat ters, this record is really remarkable and McCabe is to be congratulated upon his phenomenal showing. He certainly had the Indian sign upon the "woOden" men who confronted him and was ably supported by every member of his team, whose confidence ho possessed ill a re- markable degree. Mcdonald made a remarkable one handed catch of a hot liner in the seventh inning which would have done credit to a professional player and which drew reluctant admiration even from his opponents. as it probably prevented the "wOOdeuP mon from mak- ing at least two runs. There is an old saying that your scribe would call the attention of the "wooden" men to, viz. Let not him who putteth his armor on bt ast as he that taketh it off" The lineup and runs follow.
