What he really said we do not know,
but we do know that he could not pos
sibly have had anything like a full real
ization of what a center of power and in
fluence among mankind that capitol was
destined to become.
When Washington laid the corner stone
the United States OF America was third
rate power. The first census had just
been taken, and it's population was only
100000. The people were thin1y scat
tered throughout the 10 states, between
the Atlantic and the Alleghanies, and over
the mountain a handful OF hardy pioneers
were making the humble beginnings OF
Kentucky. Ohio and Tennessee.
There were hardly any roads in the
country, mails were practically unknown
and the manufacturers were few and
far between. Practically the entire wealth
of the country lay in its crude agriculture,
and politically the nation had scarcely be-
gun to exist. That there was a United
States of America was fact that was
but dimly perceived among the cabinets
of Europe.
How changed all things are today, after
the comparatively brief period of 100
years?
1t is hard for us to realize that ours is
the greatest and most powerful nation
that history knows anything about, ma
ton compared with which the Roman en-
pire, when at the height of glory. was a
pygmy; nation whose.power reaches
around the world, and whose influence
dominates all the councils of all the ma
tions on earth. Greater far than ever the
Roman forum was In that capitol by the
Potomac, the corner stone of which WASH
ington laid in 1913.

who gave him his first engagement in

Heavy-weights Are in Perfect Con-

LITTLE MONEY SIGHT

Los Angeles. Cal. Dec. 2l.-Heavy-
weights Al Palzer and Luther McCarty
promise to play to the crowd Sunday
inasmuch as both the big fellows have ar
ranged to put on a lengthy programme
Of boxing. Extra rounds are TO be

OverwoTked sparring partners
PalZer affects to have nearly reCov-

vlncing fashion for the past four days.
MCCartY's camp is all harmony and
confidence. When Luther isn't working

easy for their ring mates.

Stallings Makes Statement.

Ralph Mcmillan. of the Boston Herald.
hits the nail on the head with the fol-
lowing:
George Stallings is quoted as saying
that II he does not make a success with
the Braves he will retire from the game.
Much depends upon what George calls d
success and the length OF time that he
allows himself for the stunt. Boston!ans
generally do not expect the Nationals
to make a soul-stirring fight for the
flag. II they saw the Walpole Streeters
making a couple Of real and frantic
grabs for the first division the local
population might be excused for going a
bit loony over the team. StalIings on
general principles, comes into the hard
est Job in baseball. Even the st. Louis
Browns are nowhere near the habitual
cellar champions that our own little Ma
tional Leaguers are. The South End club
has clutched the last r1ng in such a
tenacious grip that it is going to take
more than the usual managerial ability
TO pry II on and start II up the ladder
That Is where Stallings is going to have
his chance to shine, just as Tenney,
Killing, Lake. Bowerman, KELLEY, and a
few others have had their opportunity
In the past. The point that should not
be forgotten, however. IS that the best
manager In the world cannot start a
tail-ender on the upward route unless
he gets backing from the head office and
from the players. The star performers OF
the habitual loser are the ones that most
often keep that club In the ruck. They
can't get out of The league because the
other clubs won't Let them go. They are
satisfied to play Individual baseball and
forget their club. Altogether they are un-
doubtedly the caufes for the failure Of
manager after manager to bulge a con-
firmed lager. A mediocre player in har-
mony with his leader Is more valuable
than the star on the OUTS

West Leads in Tennis.

With California player leading the
tennis ranking Of the United States, says
a New York expert. it is evident that
the tennis players Of the East must be-
gin TO realize that they have a task on
their hands to overcome the lead which
has been gained by Maurice McLough-
lin. II is not easy to develop a tennis
champion in a moment. That much will
be accepted in view OF the fact that.
while the tennis championship has been
held in this section. there has been no
contemporary player developed alongside
OF the champion who has been able to
prevent the honOrs going to California
It will not be easy to bring the tennis
supremacy back to the East. Any player
who has a yen in that direction would
better begin practice at once, or the East
will find that more than half a decade
will elapse before there is another ten
mis- champion in this section of the
United States.

C0LUMBIAS LEAD
IN CARROLL COUNCIL


Friday, December a-sSnta Marias " PintaS
Except for the postponed set between
the Santa Marias and Pintas on next
Friday night, there will be no games
until the regular schedule starts again
on January 6. This is quite a long rest
for bowlers and the men had better
keep IN condition.
The Nina Trinidad contest ended up
amid exciting scenes Friday night, the
last game being a tie and the roll-off
was decided by one pin. The strain was
terrible, both on the bowlers and also
on the spectators, and those with weak
hearts are hereby warned that the prop
er distance from such games is one mile
from the Rathskeller alleys.
During the past year the following
bowlers of Carroll Council were Joined
in wedlock: Beuchert, Callahan. Curtin,
Donohoe, McCarty. Rogers, and Smith.

of eligibles who have been overlooked
