The Law OF Sacrifice.
How doth the law of sacrifice
Through all times eheckered reign
hold good.
No treasure won till paid the price.
No crown without some crimson
rood.
No mortal born without the dew
or solemn pain on mothers brow;
No harvest's golden yield save through
The toll and tearing of the plow.
No Jobs integrity complete,
Till tried by fiery touch Of woe;
No widowed, waning years made
sweet.
Till Ruth says, bid me not to go!''
No bloom or rose till long compressed
In the close bondage of the bud;
No nation saved, no wrong redressed,
without some flow of willing blood.
No world redeemed from shame and
sin,
No golden rule of life made of plain,
TIL Pilates court Christ enters In,
And on the mount the Lamb Is
SLANT
Shall we then shrink. when round our
brows
The thorny crown would cut Its
mark?
When glory OF our Fathers house
Must be attained through seas o.
dark?
No! bring the thorns--we bleed ant
smile,
And through the gloom we take oul
way.

Mack Expects Four
Clubs to Contest

PHILADELPHIA. March 31.-''What's
the answer in the American League race
for 1922"
Manager Connie Mack. of the Phila-
delphia Athletics, was watching the
practice contortions of his squad at the
local park without taking his eye
from the arena he said:
There Is no answer-yet. There are
too many things and too many good
clubs entering into the problem. 1t is a
hard matter to make even a good guess
now
Haven't the Athletics the best
chance?"
We'll. don't know about that.
said last year II we won the 1911 cham
pionship we ought to take that of 1912.
But l don't know. You see, there are
some other mighty fine clubs out this
season.
THE Bostons are very dangerous, and
then there are the Detroit, Cleveland,
and even New York clubs to be consid-
cred. Any one of these may head US
off. We will have to keep moving, and
1t Is sure we need a better start than
that Of last season. l think the Ath-
letics were best. but some mishaps for
the others certainly helped us.
Boston surely looks dangerous, and
they viii have an able leader this sea-
son in Manager Stahl, whose personal
playing alone should strengthen that
club greatly. We expect no end of trou-
BILE from that crowd this year.
Detroit had Ill luck in the injury to
Gainer last year, and the Tigers should
do better with good fortune this season.
They were very dangerous last year
and a few close games decided the other
way would have had Jennings crowd
right at us all the way. 1t looks like
| the Tigers will make lot Of trouble
for all of them.
Then there is Cleveland. That is a
| real hard luck club; but this sort of
! thing cannot so on forever. Cleveland
| has some youngsters who are arriving
! little better all around, Cleveland VIII
| he a factor. They have some real hit
! ters and some real pitchers. That they

In Amherst Defeat

In defeating Amherst to yester-
day, allowing but two hits and striking
out fourteen, Eppa Rixey sets d record
for Virginia pitchers. and holds out
greater hopes for the coming games
during the next two weeks Amherst
was never dangerous yesterday, the big
left-hander holding everything safe at
all times. In addition to starring in
the box, Rixey got two safe drives
which were productive of runs.
Amherst scored in the first inning, but
did not count again until the seventh
Loose fielding by Virginia allowed all
of Amhersts scores. In the third
inning Virginia loosened up on White
man and drove him from the box.
Four runs were showed across in the

SATTERLEEFIELD TO
. Be USED TOMORROW
FOR FIRST CONTEST
Cathedral and Western High
to Dedicate New
Diamond.

Satterlee Field, named after the late
Bishop Henry Y. Satterlee, purchased
and improved at a cost OF $1O0, 900 by the
trustees of the National Cathedral
School for Boys, will be opened for the
first time tomorrow when Western and
Cathedral play their first baseball game
of the season.
The field has been In use for practice
for some time and the track team Is at
present working out on the quarter
mile track. Situated back Of Massa-
chusetts avenue, east OF the Cathedral
School. the field is placed in an ideal
spot in the woods. Recent develop
n,ents in real estate on Massachusetts,
avenue and the cutting into the hill at
Wisconsin avenue and Massachusetts
avenue made II possible to obtain ma
terial to fill in the hollow where Satter-
lee Field now stands.
There is a large quarter-mile running
track with two 120-yard stratghtaway
stretches on either side of the ellipse.
Two baseball diamonds have been laid
out in the enclosure. The whole outlay
of the ground has been patterned after
that at Franklin Field, and when fn-
ished will be the best field south OF
Philadelphia.
1t has been planned to erect a club
house, with showers and facilities for
the school team and visitors. This will
be completed with grandstand during
the coming summer. The cinder track
as laid out at present Is sixteen feet
wide, Of the best cinder material and
expected to be unusually fast.
A closed track meet will be given
during the first part of June, when the
| field will be formally opened. No plans
| have been made as yet, It is under
stood, for formal dedication, al
| though an open invitation meet is look
ed for next fall when visiting athletes
can get better accommodat tions.
George F. Green is physical director
at the Cathedral School, and has had
| signal success during the past three
years with all forms OF athletics at the
school. The baseball, football, and bas-
| ketball teams have had creditable
| records considering the scarcity Of ma
! terial A number of good track men
/ have made good for the school and are
| upholding their records in colleges.
| In the game with Western tomorrow,
Captain Small will probably pitch, with
the veteran Rust catching. Gray and
| Leavell will probably be sent in during
the game. The infield will be made UP
| from Giddings, Stokes, Robinson, Nc
Lemore, Shell, and white. Lockwood,
Powhatan, Harris, and Rist will play
| in the outfield.
