livered the principal address of the

Il have attempted to set before you,
gentlemen of the graduating class. the
relations in which the American COM
monwealth stands, on the one hand. to
the unrestful millions of western Eu-
rope, grooming beneath the weight of
oppressive military establishments;
and on the other, to the awakening
hordes of the orient struggling TO
break the bonds of servitude to the
past, forged by time and custom. In
oppressed by such impediments that
in the east and west, we stand TO-DAY
midway between the two as the great
abitrating power, into whose hands
destiny seems to have been committed,
the citadel of modern civilization. our
ability to hold that citadel must de-
pend above everything else upon the
preservation of the wonderful ConSt1-
tuition that has made our unparalleled
national development possible.

|B|G LEAGUE SCOUTS
| AFTER COLLEGE BOYS
Hyatt Goes to Detroit, Ster-
rett to White Sox, But
Davis Is Undecided.

NEW YORK, May 17.-With the clos
ing Of the college season near at hand
base ball players on several OF the uni
versity teams are planning today to join
the professional ranks for the summer.
Major league scouts have been looking
over the playing timber in the college
ball clubs, and have reported several
sterling players whom the clubs are now
negotiating with.
Representatives of three major league
clubs looked over the work Of Pitcher
George Davis of Williams College last
Wednesday while he was shutting out the
Princeton varsity team. Davis received
several fine offers after the game and he
asked time to consider them. The New
York and Chicago American League
clubs and the Pittsburgh Nationals are
trying to secure his services. Catcher
Sterrett Of Princeton will in all prob
ability join the Chicago Americans.
The crack pitcher. Hyatt of West
Point, will take a furlough Of three
months this summer and pitch for the
Detroit club Pitcher WilIett Of the De-
troit club went up to West Point and
saw Hyatt perform and reported to Hugh
Jennings that Hyatt will be a success.
Major league scouts are trying to Sc
cure the signature of Catcher Mayport
of the University of Vermont to con-
tract.

White flannels will gain broader vogue
next summer for dawdling about the
country or the shore. The suits are cut
with deep patch side pockets and breast
pocket. The patterns may be plain or
patterns with fine contrasting stripes.
Flannels are never cut to cling to the
figure. for they are essentially country
clothes. but shaped with a straight drop
from the shoulders. This makes them
wholly comfortable and divests them of
any hint of dressing up
Black or colored hose should not be
worn with white flannel suits, for the
contrast is discordant. Both hose and
shoes should be white The hat may be
white, too. in the familiar boating
shape, or a Panama is appropriate. Blue
serge coats and white flannel trousers
are we'll mated. Indeed, no other color
blends so we'll with white as blue. and to
wear a striped blue shirt, a blue scarf
and blue hat ribbon is in capital taste.
The .forerunners of spring and sum-
mer styles in mems dress are always the
new custom shirtings. These are lighter
in tint and sprightlier In pattern as
BELTS the season. Stripes predominant
among the designs. One finds a spr1nKl-
ing Of detached figures, delicate tracer1es,
clusters, and vine and leaf treatments.
Without doubt the French weavers lead
the world In the looming Of fine shirdngs,
combining strength Of fabric with re-
markable softness and extreme daintiness
of color. All these attributes are con-
spicuous In the materials for spring. But
the 'canny Scot is not far behind the
tasteful Frenchman in the art of weav-
ing and some of the most beautiful shirt
ings come from Glasgow and nearby,
where the patient skill of the work people
is handed down from generation to gen
