Patriotism of Present
Great as in Seventy-Six

"The spirit Of 1911 Is no less patriotic
than that Of '76." is the belief of the
Rev. Zed H. Copp, according to express
sions in a patriotic sermon last night at
Bethany Chapel.
"Personified in the public schools, the
untrammeled press. and the fearless
pulpit, the spirit Of 1911 moves pipingly
along" said the Rev. Copp.
Our fathers demanded equal rights,
equal liberty, and equal Justice for all,
and obtained It." he continued. THE
spirit Of 1911 demands an American
Bible in every home, an American
newspaper for every reader. and an
education for every child.
The spirit Of '76 was the incarnation
Of the spirit Of liberty for a world con-
Guest, the last battles of which are be-
ing fought under our very eyes"

BY desperate rally in the ninth inning
Traffic pulled the game out Of the fire
and bested Law in a we'll played contest,

and while four errors were registered
against each side, the fielding was the
feature OF the game.
Jack Frost opposed Risdon. and the
diminutive Law twirler did splendidly.
In the final inning he weakened, and
the TrafflckerS banged out enough safe
ties to win. Risdon although recovering
from siege of sickness, twirled his usual
clever game. tanning eleven men and al
lowing only five safe drives to be regis

Law evened the score up in the second
smack to center. In the fourth they
counted three more on two errors. hit
batsman and some ragged infield work.
When Traffic came to the bat for their
final turn the score was to against
them. Doy hit safely and stole second.
Brown neatly sacrificed him to the third
station. Carter hit and both scored a
moment later, Wnon Jones DdnReQ out a
pretty three-sacker. tying the score.
While Rosenthal was throwing out Ris-
don Jones scampered over the pan with
what proved to be the winning tally.
Law made game try in their half Of
the inning. and when Robinson hit safely
their hopes arose Frost and Tolpey
were easily disposed Of via the Whit
