Lawrence Six
Maine Central 3.

Lawrence High defeated Maine Central
Institute. Saturday afternoon, on the
West street grounds by a score of 6 to 3.
Taking it on the whole, the game was
fast interesting. For the first four
Innings the local boys were unable to hit
and they were unsteady in fielding and
throwing, but in the fifth they scored
three runs, tying the score, as NJ c. I.
scored two in the first and one in the
fifth. all of them on errors made by the

Washington. May 1.-The life of Ma
Tor Archibald W. Butt as soldier
newspaper man. aide to Presidents and
lodge member and his heroic death on
the Titanic. were commemorated by
his eemmander-iu- chief--a President
a secretary of war. senator of his
native state. a contemporary in the
newspaper field, and the fraternity of
Masonry. at an impressive memorial
service in theater here, today.
The tribute President Taft paid to
his late aide, epitomized all that was
said.
Everybody knew Archie as Archie. -
the President said. Il cannot go into
a box at a theater; | cannot turn
around in my room; l can't go any
where without expecting TO see his
smiling face or to hear his cheerful
voice in greeting The life of the Pres.
ident is rather isolated and those ap
pointed to live with him come much
closer 10 him than anyone else The
bond is very close and il is difficult 10
speak or such an occasion.
Archie Butts character was single,
Simple. straightforward and Incapable
of intrigue. a clear sense of humor
lightened his life and those about him.
Life was not for him troubled prob
lem. He was a soldier and when he
was appointed to serve under another,
To that other he rendered implicit 10y
atty. l never knew a man who had so
much self-sacrifiee as Archie Butt.
Occasions like the sinking of the
Titanic frequently develop unforeseen
traits in men. II makes them heroes
when You don't expect it. But with
Archie it Was just as natural for him
to help those about him as II was for
him to ask me to permit him TODD
something for some one or for me.
He was on the deck of the Titanic
exactly what he was everywhere He
leaves a void with these who loved
him. but the circumstances of his go
ing are all that we would have had.
