Braves at Last Head National League
-SOx on Way West.

At last George Stalings and his
Boston Braves are at the head of the
National League flight a position
they have been fighting for since July
Is, when they started from last place
on the climb that has been the SEN
sation of a sensational year. -
To accomplish this feat the Boston
people have won 80 out Of their last
38 games. All teams have looked
alike. They have impartiaIly trimmed
first and second division clubs, finding
the Giants about the easiest PROPOSE
ton in the entire ensemble.
Individual work, except in the box,
has not been accountable for the rise.
Not at all. On the other hand, Stall
ings is. bossing ball team; a team in
the real sense of the word. Individual
achievements are subordinated to the.
common good, and the two or three
stars of the troop have sunk their per-
sOnal ambitions in favor of the ma
chine.
Whether StaIIings can stick in his
present exalted position is an entirely
different proposition. Here is where
psychology comes into the game

Apparently the war in Europe will
have no effect on the lightweight
boxing division, of which Freddie
Welsh, a British subject, is the leader
At first it was noised about that
Welsh would be called to the colors.
England, however, is relying on her
professional army, and so far has not
called the reserve. Welsh is planning
a trip to this country during the fan
and will undoubtedly match up with
Charlie White, the local sensation.
That's the bout we are all waiting
for. White is clearly entitled to the
Welsh match, as he is the peer Of any
lightweight in the country. He prov
ed that when he punished Willie
Richie in ten rounds at Milwaukee.
White has style that could cope
with Welsh's manner Of attack. He
carries a stouter punch than Richie,
and on past performances can land
it oftener. White is right at the top
of his form now. He will remain
there for some time, as he is
a youngster who takes care Of his
physical condition.
He can afford to wait for Welsh, If
necessary; as a vacation viii not hurt
him as much as it will the Britisher.

COMPLICATION TO MEDIATION
REMOVED.

Washington, D. C. Threatening
complications to mediation was re-
moved when definite word reached the
State Department that Vice-Consul
John R. Silliman, arrested at Saltillo
and long sought for, had arrived safe
ly at Mexico City.
The news of Silliman's safety be-
came known at the moment when Sec
rotary Bryan was making public re-
ports received from refugees that
Silliman had been executed on May
Is by the Federals at Saltillo.
Great relief was expressed by Cab
met members, several of them saying
1t removed one of the most dangerous
features in the situation.
While, however, Silliman himself is
safe, there remain several very grave
features connected with his arrest
Unofficial reports indicated he was
placed under arrest while acting as
United States consul, imprisoned
tried as a spy and condemned to
death.
Also that the United States Con
sulate was entered, the official
archives being taken, including the
State Departments code. Silliman's
personal safety relieves the situation
but the other indignities remain to be
atoned for in the ultimate settlement

Presbyterian General Assembly
Reiterates DisapprOVal.
STRONG FOR BLUE SABBATH
Commercialized Sports Defeat
ed-Saturday Half Holt
day Urged.

hicago-Granting of the Saturday
half holiday as means of stricter
observance of the Sabbath was urged
in the report of the Committees on
Sabbath Observance made to the Gen
eral Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church in the United States. Other
recommendations made by the com
mittee were:
THAT the General Assembly reiter-
ates its strong and emphatic disap-
proval Of all secular uses of the Sab
bath day, all games and sport, in civic
life, as also in the Army and Navy,
and all unnecessary travelling and all
excursions, and urges upon all en-
ployers of labor and captains of in,
dustry to recognize the need of the
laboring man for his weekly rest day
and thereby insures his greater eff
cheney and happiness and the greater
prosperity of both capital and labor.
THAT we n ost respectfully call at
tention of all public officials to the
potent influence of their position, on
all moral questions and the necessity
of greater care on their part, that they
may strengthen rather than weaken,
by their influence, public and private
observance of the Lords day.
Want Blue Sunday.
"That all families be urged not to
buy anything on the Sabbath, to plan
for their servants on the Sabbath and
to help them fulfil their religious
duties and pay laborers so they may
have Saturday afternoon to make pro-
vision for the Sabbath"
THAT the General Assembly reiter-
ates its emphatic condemnation of the
Sunday newspaper and urges the
members of the Presbyterian Church
to refuse to subscribe for it or read
it, or advertise in it"
"That the faculties of colleges and
seminaries, if the way be clear, be
requested to omit recitations Monday
mornings, so as to leave the Sabbath
free from the necessity of students

Hits CommercaIized Sport
At the session of the General AS.
sem.ly here there was suggestion
from the floor that sentence in the
report of the committee on Sabbath
observance disappearing "all secular
games and sports on Sunday" be
changed to read "all commercialized
games and sports" The suggestion
failed to carry.
Rev. H. L. Bobby, of New York, de
clared that Sabbath Dissertation is
the greatest problem in America to
day"
"Commercialized sports" he said
particularly baseball, are mora

eral Assembly for the purpose of
securing afiliation or a better CO.

Gus State-aided colleges and institu-
tions, held meeting in the offices of
State Senator William Mines Maloy,
in the Fidelity Building. Senator
Maloy was the author of the bill Great
ing the new institution and fought it
through the Legislature, in connection
with his bill for an educational survey
of the State.
The principal action taken was the
acceptance of the charter by the in

thorizing Senator Maloy to consult
with the Governor as to when the
Board of Regents should hold its first
meeting, and suggesting June Is as the
date.
Thirty-five incorporators are named
in the law, and of these II were pres
ent at the meeting.
DR.. Heatwole read the charter, and

GIRL GAMERS IN CONVENTION
Daughters Of the Farmers Are En-.
couraqed.

Denton.-Monday evening there as
sembled in Denton a convention of
unusual interest and from which there
has come the assurance that the Girls
Canning Clubs and farm demonstra-
ton in this State are permanent fac
tors. The representatives of each of
the six counties where the work has
been organized this year were pres
ent, the Western Shore counties being
Charles, st. Mary's and Anne Arun-
del; the three Eastern Shore, Wico-
mico, Queen Anne's and Caroline
About 275 girls have been enrolled
They are cultivating their tenth acre
of tomatoes and goodly number of
housekeepers are interested in canning
all of the surplus on the farm, for
home consumption. All high grade
material that is not needed at home
may, on approval, be disposed of
through the channels established for
the club girls.
Maryland is now one of the Is
Southern States in which work has
been conducted for three or four years,
and the demonstrators are included
among the 300 women agents in those
! States
The keynote sounded throughout the
entire meeting was that of eel
low-helping." Wherever the agent
finds any woman or girl doing anything
WELL it is the business of that demon
strator to help make greater success
and broaden her opportunities.
Dr. M. Bates Stephens, of whose
system of public instruction this work
is part, presided at the meeting, and
said that he was glad to see a return
of movement to enlist the greater
efforts of the homes in the education
of children.
The sessions were visited by the
superintendent of county schools
from Wicomico and Queen Anne's
counties, and E. M Noble, superin-
tendent in Caroline county, gave freely
of his time.
The agents returned to their re-
spective territories delighted with
their stay in Denton and convinced
that this work means to get a girl to
do something that is worth while, have
it approved by those she loves and
have it progress.

FEAR AN ATTACK
ON GUADALAJARA
Diplomats Worrying Over Safety
of Foreigners. :
BANDITS MAY Held THEM UP
Tampico-ConsuI Silliman Re-
operating From Hardships
OF the Trip From SaItiIlo.

Washington, d. c. = While the
mediation negotiations, in the wards
of a high official, were progressing
smoothly, new source of apprehen-
sion on the part of foreign diplomats
was found in the situation at Guada-
lajara, the second city in Mexico,
where large numbers of foreign
refugees are reported to have gather
ed. Reports were received that ban
dts were gathering in the mountain
near the city and threatening to attack
the town in case of a withdrawal Of
its garrison. Part of the Constitu-
tionalist army, under General Obregon,
was also pushing forward toward this
city, arousing fears for the safety of
the foreigners during the hostilities
No advices reached the State Depart
ment, however, to indicate any press
ing danger there.
Conditions at Tampico continued
to improve, and while neither the
State Department nor the naval Off
GERS on the spot felt justified in adj
vising a general return of the Ameri-
cans who had left Mexico during the
disorders, the Secretary of the Navy
granted permission to refugees now at
Galveston, who claimed they were
brought from Tampico against their
will, to return on the transport Han
cock. A number of British oil men
also have left Galveston for Tampico.
Vice-Consul John Silliman, the oc-
casion of such prolonged anxiety on
account of his disappearance at Sal
tillo, remained at Mexico City day
recuperating from the hardships Of the
trip from Saltillo and expecting to de-
part for Vera Cruz Monday.
One of his fellow-prisoners in the
Saltillo Jail, DR.. J. Franklin Moore,
called at the State Department and
told of his experiences. Mr.. Moore
was practicing physician of 20
years standing in Saltillo. He said
tranquility had prevailed there all
through the earlier phases of the revo-
lutionary movement until on April %
a telegram signed "Victoriano Huerta"
was received from the capital stating
American warships were bombarding
Vera Cruz. Immediately following the
signature were the words, Hang all
Americans" presumably added by the
telegraph operator.
Messages from the civil governor
summoned all Americans in Saltillo to
headquarters. The doctor excused
himself from the patient he was at
tending with promise to return in
few minutes. But it was Is days be-
fore he was again at liberty. He was
first placed in a cell three feet by
seven feet for "a hours, but the follow
ing day he was admitted to large
room, where all the American prison
were gathered, including Vice-Consul
Silliman. They were treated fairly
well and were released only after
they had pointly signed a state
ment reciting that they had simply
been detained to ensure, their protec-
ton against possible violence at the
hands of the people. Silliman, how
ever, was held after the others left,
on the charge that he was a spy.
