WaverIy Club Opens Season with
Victory, o to 4.

The Waverly Club opened its baseball
season yesterday morning by gaining a
victory over the Seneca Athletic Club
by the score of TO 4. The game was
interesting until the fourth inning,
when the Wayerly players found Glenn
ents' curves and started to pound them
all over the field, and netting two runs
Clements was then relieved by O'Neil
who held the sluggers down until the
eighth, when the WaverlieS netted seven
runs. The playing of the Waverlies was
nothing but excellent, each player play
ing as if in midseaSon form. The FitzGib-
brothers both put up good games at short
and third, while Mayhem and Baker
starred at second and the initial sack.
The players of the Seneca team failed
to hit either McDonough or Madigan, who
pitched for the Waverlies. McDonough
held the Seneca's down to about seven
hits, during the five innings he was in the
box, while Madigan, the clubs best
sOuthpaw, held them down to about three
in the three innings he pitched.
Clements, who is we'll known among
the amateurs of Washington, started the
box work for the losers, but soon found
that he could not conquer the conquer
ors, and took O'Neirs place at short,
where he played a good game for the
remainder of the contest
The Waverly Club is very deSirous of
It's schedule, and would like to
hear from all uniformed teams in the
Virginia, and Maryland. Ad-
dress all challenges to Manager Harry

T. Edward Clark and Capt. J. Tyler

THE milk that one gets from the
Straus laboratory is the best that can he
obtained for infant feeding" said Mr..
WiIlige Il have conferred with officials
Of the Agricultural Department and with
the Public Health and Marine Hospital
Service, where ] learned that plain cows
milk was not an ideal food, and leads 10
serious complaints among infants. Modi-
fed or pasteurized milk is nearest to
mothers milk, and is what the baby
thrives upon
1t was pointed out that the mortality
among infants fed with this modified
product was only per cent, while those
fed with plain cows milk was 3 per
cent
That the government should wait for
private citizens to give money to main
tain the Straus station was bitterly con-
demned by several speakers. 1t is cx-
pected the Legion of Loyal Women will
aid the cause, several Of their members
being present and announcing themselves
to that effect.
Miss Isabelle Strong. in charge of vis-
it!ng nurses, said that it would be a
calamity to mothers if the plant was al
lowed to close. Many of them have
babies, and they rely absolutely on US
for the food supply for their infants"

Nevada Pastor Speaks Right Out and

Reno, Nev.-"Before I would be so
cowardly as to keep my mouth shut
on the divorce business, like many
Nevada preachers do, while their
churches fill up with divorced people,
would quit preaching and go to dig

"The short sighted business men OF

motion of the divorce business will
build up the state.
Many Of these imported Divorces
are engulfing the morals of our boys
worse than the women Of Sodom.
Down south. where I came from, II
any OF our folks get tired of living
together and want to try another
companion. they pack up and come to
Reno and, after unhitching, they
hitch up with some other sucker.
ITO advertise this state, or Reno,
as Sodom is poor policy, and to ad-
vertise Nevada as the most lax place
In America to secure divorces, will
make the state bowling wilderness. "
