A Wayside Chapel.

Meath the wondrous lights and shad.
ows of those mystic skies,
Through the haunted air around it
viewless spirits seem to glide,
And the salnted dead are sleeping in
the graveyard by it's side.
No mullion windows light it, and it
boasts no Gothic spires,
For the homely art that built it was
the art Of rustic sires;
But the world with all it's temples
for me no holier fame
Than the little wayside chapel in that
green old Irish lane.
In the days when faith was vision
and the ministering angel smiled
From the Heavens that hung SO near
it on the pure heart of the child
When the world was all TRANSPORTED
by the glory in its eyes,
And it walked with God in gladness
midst an earthly paradise,
Through those fragrant fields we lin
gered on the way to morning
Mass,
Whilst the lark sang DER the meadow
and the dew shone on the grass
And the gates of Heaven opened tc
the organs swelling strain,
In the little wayside chapel by that
green old Irish lane.
All the hills are drenched with sun
shine, all the valleys drunk with
dew,
Green linnets wake the hedges with
grey larks the central blue,
Soft zephyrs steal the perfume of 8
thousand flowers that blow
And the land owns all the magic Of
the wistful long ago;
For, though many a hope hath with
cred, and though many a dream
ia gone,
1t was always God we trusted, it wal
faith that led us on,
And its light shines all around me a.

With the laughter clear and ringing
Of the hearts spontaneous joys,
And, oh, kindly voices whisper by thu
wayside many a prayer
That they only know in Erin, for thu
love of God is there,
And the wanderers heart is breakin,

Present Schedule For Post
Season Series May Be
Upset.
THREE GAMES DAILY
is A POSSIBILITY
Matches Will Be Held To Pick
Team To Play Richmond
Champions.

Should there be many more rainy
days in the next two weeks, necessitat-
ing postponements of amateur games,
the committee on the post-season cham
pionship games will have a hard time
arranging the series.
II is the present plan Of the committee
to start the post-season series August
10, and in ten playing days to clean up
the series so that the pennant winner,
which is to play with the Richmond
champions, the Battle AK team, in the
first two games of the intercity series
on Labor Day, can be declared.
The time in which to complete the
local series is a short enough period as
Il is, but should rain interfere with the
regular scheduled games between now
and the 18th, or after that date in the
post-season series. the District probably
will be without a champion for the
Labor Day games.
There are several leagues among the
amateurs in which the race is not yet
decided, noticeably the Depart
mental, Olympia, Independence. and
Sunday School, and any more postpone
ments would .necessitate a postpone
ment Of the opening games OF the post
season series.
Arrangements have already been made
for the games on Labor Day here, the
park has been obtained, and the con-
tracts forwarded to the Richmond team.
1t may be necessary to play three
games a day in each division to clean
up the amateur series.

In the major league. Hardly had the
first game ended before there were any
number Of individuals who were claim
ing credit for having discovered"
young Becker, and obtaining for him
trial with the Nationals, but just to
settle this question 1t might be we'll to
say that Becker was signed by the
Washington ball club simply through
the repeated recommendations Of w. II.
Mooney. of the Postoffice Department.
Mr.. Mooney is much interested In the
Washington club, and after seeing
Becker in action he went to President
Moves and pleaded for a chance for the
pitcher. More than a month ago the
Christopher Columbus youngster spoke
to the writer of Becker, and so tnsis-
tant was he that the head of the club
finally gave instructions to sign the
man.

Washington Boy Faces the
Largest Home Crowd, And
Comes Out Triumphant.
By THOMAS KIRBY.

That Charley Becker made the most
sensational debut in the annals of the
American League in this city. is the
unanimity of opinion OF baseball men
who saw the Washingtonian work in
the opening game Of the double
header with the Chicago White Sox
yesterday.
To start with 1t appeared as though
it were a decided imposition Of the
young man to be asked to make his
initial bow before a home crowd, but
the thousands who were on hand
realized before half OF the game had
been played that they were witness
ing one Of the most impressive per-
formances since Washington obtained
a franchise on the circuit over which
Ban Johnson holds sway.
Usually when a youngster breaks
into fast company his chief handi-
cap is the lack OF control, but so
much OF a master was Becker of the
whole situation that he allowed but
one base on balls.
At the beginning of the game the
Sox seemed to think Becker was the
ordinary recruit who would go well
for a part of the distance and then
''blow." but after the fourth inning
they realized that they were facing
real pitcher who had something
and had sense enough to use 1t to its
utmost advantage.
Becker had a good curve, grand con-
troll, and while he did not appear to
possess a world of speed, he worked
his slow ball to such advantage that he
had the veteran hitters of the Chicago
team guessing all the time, and It is
no wonder that his friends from the
navy yard gave him such an impressive
ovation when the last man was thrown
out in the ninth.

ToMoRRoW-Hamline VS.. North Carolina.
Hamline took a listless and one-sided
game from the Kid Ingram team yes
terday, the losers simply refusing to
play toward the latter part Of the con-
test.
"Cottoney" Beach occupied the rubber
for Hamline and had everything his
way, only two hits being garnered from
his delivery in the six innings. He
famed the side in order in the second.
While Sherwood still has a slim chance
for the bunting, yesterdays victory over
Ingram gives Hamline a safe lead for
the pennant, and they have only one
hard game remaining, that on August z
against Sherwood.
Hamline's heavy artillery started
after Flynn, the Ingram twirler, in the
first round, scoring twice, and contin-
ued the slugging until Umpire Hughes
eight errors also assisted the Methodists
In running up their high score.
Gus Bishop, of Hamline, played SEN
sational ball at the third corner. and
featured In the third when he made A
double play unassisted. With GoebeI on
third, Luscombe drove a screaming liner
in that territory which Bishop nailed
safely and touched third in time to
double the former.
Chief Meyers was again in the lime
light with his big stick, connecting for
a single and a double in three times up.
Miller, Hamline's center fielder, played
well In the garden, and figured nicely at
bat with two singles in three trips to
the plate. He displayed some speed on
the cushions in the fifth by stealing sec
ond and third.

Adams Express will depend upon Forest
Thompson to perform in the box.
When questioned last night as to
whether or not he would again try his
luck with Savannah, Forest Thompson
would neither affirm nor deny the re-
port. 1t is said that Thompson was
worked too much last season in the
