ODESSA WON BOTH GAMES

Memorial Day proved to be- a go, i
omen for the Odessa Athletic Club in
the all day battle with Richardson Park
capturing both games with runs 10
spare.
In the morning game Raynor Carrow
was sent to the slab and was enthusias-
tically applauded by the fans as it was
his initial appearance in a game. Sud
Wallace the doughty little back stop
gave him intelligent support and ma
terially assisted the young pitcher in
winning his game Although CArrow
was bit wild at times he was all to
the good in the pinches and held Win
trups sluggers to ten hits striking out
four men.
Lee Pennington was chief umpire and
maintained his reputation for good
work as he was supported in several
close decisions by the rooters which is
''going some. " The score by innings Of
the naming game was as follows:
Rich. Park...1 2 0 0OO1O o. 10 II
o. A. Club...1 1912 x-911 4
In the afternoon the largest crowd
that ever witnessed a ball game at Cor
bit Park was present. Substantial evi-
dence that the people of this communi-
ty appreciate good base ball as well as
loyalty to home team. ''Bill'' Ward
the idol of the rooters was on the joe
and was pitching a shut out game until
the sixth inning when an unfortunate
error was made allowing two runs to
score. The same dose was handed him
in the seventh another costly error al
lowing two more runs. In the eighth
he proved to his team mates that he
could do it alone and retired the stick
men in one, two and three order.
A few changes in the lineup were
made in the afternoon. Gremminger
was sent to the right garden. Dewey
Ward to first and John Stidham behind
the bat all of whom did excellent work.
"Gremmy" batted at 600 rate.
Hastings umpire of the All-Wilming-
ton league was chief umpire in this
game and as he marks behind the bat
anovelty in this section his work was
very interesting. His. decisions were
unquestioned and proved himself to be
an umpire of the right stripe.
Richardson Park had an up-hill fiobf
as they were clearly outplayed at both
games. This is the third defeat this
season that Odessa 80 ninistered to
this team. TodS2 BAPTIST of

stayina on the Job

President Wilson has declined to
election of a Democratic house of rep
/ resentatiyes. Ho gives as his reason
that lin view of the unlookedfor in
te.national situation" his duty com.
pels him ITO stay on his job In
letter expressing his determination
the President makes several interest
ing observations, which appear to
carry a deep significance.
The Presidents explanation of mis-
decision not TO make political
speeches this year, when the policies
. OF the National Administration VIII
be on trial in the Congressional cleo
tions, is contained in letter written
by him to Representative Frank e.
Doremus of Michigan, the Chairman
of the National Democratic Congress
SIGNAL Committee, who IS in charge
Of the general campaign of his party,
| to retain control of the house of rep
resentatives.
The most striking statement of the
| President is to the effect that he is
obliged to remain in Washington ito
attend to the serious work sure to fill
] the months Immediately before us
, months that will carry with them obi
cations, no doubt Of the most tremen
dous sort" This, is taken in connect
ion with other things said by the Pres
! idcnt suggests that he believes that
he may be called upon TO play the
part Of pcacemaker in the great Ear
opean conflict.
Parties will fare well enough with
out nursing" says the President, If
the men who make them up and the
men who lead them forget themselves
10 serve q cause and set a eat PEG
pic forward en- the path of liberty and
| peace"
| While the great people" to which
| he President makes reference may
mean the United States, the express
sion IS construed in some quarters to
| apply TO all the nations in conflict IL
il appa 'ent from the expressions OF
| the President in his letter that he is
| anxious over the possible effects of the
European war on hts own country,
and that he feels tina. it is necessary
fm him. as well az all other Americ-
ans. to be actuated by a spirit of pat.
| riotism. Con age and devotion TO the
Nation.
These are days big with destiny
for the United States. as for the ether
nations of the world" he says.
Taking all the circumstances into
consideration. the President feels
that his duty requires him to remain
at his post and make no engagements
that in other circumstances might be
required by party necessity. He is
willing, he indicates, to let his admin
istration be judged by its accomplish
ments
| That the condition in which the I'm
tied States has been placed by the
grea; world struggle amounts TO a
crisis is plainly stated by the Presi
dent, bnt he hints that the critical as.
pect is due in part TO financial and in
dustrial considerations. The Presi
dent sees no reason TO- Congress u

rcsult-and a very workmanhke little bit of
analysis it isl
Holmes had the impersonal JOY of the true
artist in his better work. even as he mourned
darkly when it fell below the high level to
which he aspired. He was still chuclling over
his success when Billy swung open the door
and Inspector Macdonald of Scotland Yard
was ushered into the room.
THOSE were the early days at the end of
the sos when Alec Macdonald was far
from having attained the national fame which
he has now achieved He was a young but
trusted member of the detective force, who
had distinguished himself in several cases
which had been intrusted to him. His tall,
bony figure gave promise of exceptional phys1-
cal strength, while his great Uranium and deep
set, lustrous eyes spoke no less clearly OF the
keen intelligence which twinkled out from be-
hind his bushy eyebrows He was silent,
precise man, with dour nature and a hard
Aberdonian accent.
Twice already in his career had Holmes
helped him to attain success, his sole reward
being the intellectual JOY of the problem. For
this reason the affection and respect of the
Scotchman for his amateur colleague were
profound, and he showed them by the frank
ness with which he consulted Holmes in every
difficulty. Mediocrity knows nothing higher
than ITSELF but talent instantly recognizes
genius, and Macdonald had talent enough for
his profession to enable him to perceive that
there was no humiliation in seeking the as
sistance of one who already stood alone in
Europe, both in his gifts and in his experience.
Holmes was not prone to friendship, but he
was tolerant of the big Scotchman, and smiled
at the sight of him.
"You are an early bird, Mr.. Mac" said he,
g | wish you luck with your worm. | fear this
means that there is some mischief afoot."
eff you said hope instead of fear it
would be nearer the truth, I'm thinking, Mr..
Holmes" the Inspector answered, with a
knowing grin. "Well, maybe wee nip would
keep out the raw morning chill. No, won't
smoke thank you. III have to be pushing
on my way; for the early hours of case are
the precious ones as no man knows better
than your own self But-but-''
The Inspector had stopped suddenly, and
was staring with a look of absolute amaze
mcnt at paper upon the table. 1t was the
sheet upon which l had scrawled the eng
matte message.
'Douglas!' he stammered. Birthstone!
What's this, Mr.. Holmes? Man, it's witch
craft! Where in the name of all that is Won
derful did you get those names?"
1T is cipher that DR.. Watson and | have
had occasion to solve. But whv-what's aniss
with the names?"
