Odd Fellows Memorial

Odd Fellows Memorial
At the Odd Fellows memorial ser
vices, F. N. JoHantgen, p. g., de-
livered the following address:
To our finite thought-life and
death-are two great mysteries. Yet
In the time allotted each and all Of
US must face their presence. The
human heart Is SO constituted that 1t
seeks some outward and visible ex-
preston of the emotions that stir Its
depths, whether of joy or sorrow.
Tears may suffice for season, but .
wise Providence has ordained that
their fountains shall cease to flow,
and the wounded heart casts about
for some enduring tribute. Hence
We have memorials. The custom has
come down to us under various forms
from olden times, but the motive is
ever the same.
Whether 1t finds expression in the
mighty pyramids of ancient Egypt
the burial place of kings-or In the
costly mausoleums of modern mil
lionaires, or yet In the simple monu-
ments OF country church yard,
where,
'Some frail memorial still erected
nigh
'''' scniptHre deck il.
implores the passing tribute sighs."
All have their inspiration In that
common desire of the human heart
TO honor the virtues and perpetuate
the memory of the beloved dead.
The sprig of evergreen which we
eAst iplo the grave Of our departed
brethren is significant Of the same
impulse. It is common to all people,
and peculiar to none, unless we find

BOXES SOLD OUT
FOR FIRST GAME
IN HALF AN HOUR
Ardent Fans Line Up for
Tickets for Open
ing Game.
WORKMEN ARE BUSY
CLEANING DIAMOND
First Ticket to New Park Secur-
ed by D. S. Van 49,.
Buskirk.

All records for advance sale of base
ball tickets in Washington went by
the boards this morning when, within
half an hour after the first box seat
had been sold every special reservation
for the opening game at National Park
tomorrow, had been disposed of.
In the rebuilt plant the box capacity
has been more than doubled, and 1t was
believed that the supply would be large
enough to continue the sale until noon
tomorrow, but applicants for tickets at
Spalding's and Whites this morning
were sent away unhappy with the an
nouncement that every one Of the 754
chair pasteboards had been snatched up
by those who want to see the Nationals
of 1911 in action on the opening day.
Buys First Ticket.
AS was to be expected there was an
especial effort made to get hold Of the
first ticket ever sold for the new park.
and in this D. S. Van Buskirk. Of 1916
l. street northwest, proved to be the
lucky one, and had the advantage Of
selecting any seat IN the house" He
finally picked out one that he thinks
will be the best in the park and went
away smiling.
Mr. Van Buskirk is an attache Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission and is
a loyal johnson supporter.
Work Is Stopped.
"I think Walter has acted right in the
whole controversy" said holder of
coupon No. !, land from what l have
already heard from the fans l have
talked with this morning, the owners
will find that the presence of the fans
idol in the box tomorrow will mean the
biggest sort Of a boost in the attend
ance.
Il am not surprised that all OF the
reserved tickets have been snatched up,
but 1 got mine. boys. l got mine,' he
continued, as he went on his way, with
the priced pasteboard in the inside
pocket of his inside coat.
All of the construction work for the
opening game was stopped today. and
n CORDS of laborers were busy from
O'Clock removing everything from the
playing field and stands and storing II
behind the left field pavilion. where Il
will remain until the work of completing
the stands is resumed.
Seating Capacity.
After a consultation with the direc'
tors last night Secretary Fowler an
nounced that the stands thus far com
pleted will hold about 1900 people
which is about 1000 more than it wa.
possible tc seat in the structures de
stroyed by the fire three weeks ago.
It was also decided that until the parl
is completed no automobiles or car
riages will be admitted to the grounds
so IL will be necessary for motorist:
to bank their cars on Seventh street anc
on Florida avenue. -,
The sale of tickets at the park vii

JOHNSON ON TRAIN

Not Sure He'll Accept, He
Says, Arriving at
St. Louis.
OFFERED A THREE
YEAR CONTRACT
Message From McAleer Was Re-
rceived at Coffeyville Before
Start East.

ST. LOUIS, April 11.-Walter john
son, the Washington pitcher. was in st.
Louis this morning.
He got in at O'Clock from Coffey-
willie, Kan, and he is on his way to
Washington.
Whether johnson will continue to
hold out all depends. He said, while
munching a sandwich at the Union Sta
ton, that he received q telegram from
McAleer last night Offering him 5000
year provided he would sign a three
year contract This is $500 better a year
than McAleer's former offer, and 1t has
tackled on to 1t that rather clinging
clause. Three years. at 5000 per-"
Not Sure He'll Accept.
The great American League pitcher
said he did not know whether he would
accept the compromise offer.
He maintains that he is worth $500 a
year. He is not alone IN this opinion,
either. He says everyone IN Coffeyyille
thinks he is worth at least that.
When l went down to the Market
square, in Coffeyville, yesterday" John
son said, Il met a Coffeyville fan. who
told me that if Ty Cobb is worth 5000
a year in right field, 1 am certainly
worth $500 in the pivotal position of
the game.
Thinks Coffeyville Right.
II think the Coffeyville fan was right,
even If Coffeyvllle is a bush league
town"
johnson said today that McAleer had
wired emphaticaIly that he would neith-
er sell nor trade him under any circum-
stances. This means that If he and Nc
Aleer do not come to terms, II Is back
to the tall and uncut underbrush for
W. Johnson.
johnson departed at O'Clock, on his
way East.

ers today on learning that Johnson will

Dolly Now he's beginning to show
some sense. I thought he'd think better
of it after getting home"
Little Zeb Milan, the Tennessee flyer
and ''roomie'' of Johnson, is the hap
piest man in the squad. He was around
today all smiles, and John Henry asked
him several times what he was smiling

Bar New York Giants.

None of the Nationals are surprised
that the Atlanta people have barred the
New York Giants from further prelim-
mary games in that city. McAleer's
men confirm the stories of the dis
orderly tactics Of the Giants not only at
the ball park. but at the hotel as well.
and in putting up the bars the baseball
people have simply hardened to the de-
mands of the populace.

for. Don't you know" replied Milan.
And that was all that could be got out
of him.
Milan and johnson are strong friends
and can generally be found together at
all times. Where Johnson Is slow in
speech and action Milan Is quick and
fiery. They are exact antitheses in
nature and stature. But they are the
best Of friends and no lad In the camp
Is quite so happy over Johnson's return

hold out of Walter Johnson will be that
during the controversy enough has been
brought out to convince reasonable
fan that all the talk about the fabulous
salaries of ball players has no real
foundation in fact.
The ordinary fan likes to talk learn
edly about the $4,000 and sI5.0co beauties
that adorn different diamonds, but in
reality the players whose pay reaches
five figures can be counted on the
fingers of one hand, even if the counter
should have been unfortunate enough
to have lost one, or even two, of his
digits.
Ty Cobb, considered by many experts
the srandest ball player that ever drew
on a glove receives 5000 for his accom-
plishments with the Detroit club, and
from this dazzling height one can go
right down the line until he finds promi-
nent players on every team in the major
leagues drawing $500 and thanking
their lucky stars that they are able to
hold that mark in the blank spaces on
the official contracts.
In baSoDall war lllncS IL IL u ue Iiiht
competition for good men was so in
tense that a star could almost name his
own price. but as soon as peace was
declared and the two big leagues
reached an understanding the slashing
started and continued until the figures
were down to the normal mark.
While there is many ball player
who will try to give the impression that
his yearly income compares favorably
with that Of bank officials and railroad
magnates the willingness with which
many of the leading figures in the ma

to sign papers offered by Promoter
Fletcher last fall, will show that there
