of the charge of ocean Joy riding" board United

asks Mr.. Good in the House Secretary and Mrs.
McAdoo have their summer home at Mattapoisett,
Mass, which be reached from Washington by
water. They were here and desired to go to their
summer home. An ocean trip steam yacht GER

course, the Onondaga was government business.
But the Secretarys statement that he paid for his
meals the trip little confusion. If Secre-
tary McAdoo was on official business, as claimed
why should he be compelled to pay for his meals?"
Mr.. Good has been in Congress long enough to know
that Secretary McAdoo's explanation is ample and
satisfactory to the party in power. He knows that

Washington, Aug. 16.-That the Eu-
ropean situation as regards finances in
| this country Is now well in hand, due
largely to the fact that a federal re-
serve board system had been created
by legislation and that the members
of the board had been confirmed, was
| asserted by Secretary McAdoo of the
treasury following the swearing in
McAdoo declared this legislation had
had reassuring effect upon the
finances of the country.
I'm my opinion no further danger
exists so far as finances are con-
cerned" he said. The way in which
this country has withstood the world
wide shock within the last few weeks
has been phenomenal"
The secretary said he believes the
people of this country do not yet
fully realize the Importance of this
board. 1T is not We, fully under
stood, but it is our business to make
them understand
by cooperation it can be made
bulwark against financial crisis in
this country" he asserted at another
point. In his opening remarks he
felicitated the members saving that
the honor which had been bestowed
upon them by the president and con-
gress had been a grea,s one and that
they had an opportunity for great
public work.
CnaTleS =. ttanlln. governor or the
board, who spoke in behalf of that
body. said he believed all of the
members fully realized the RESPONSE
bility placed upon them and trusted
to their care I'VE shall welcome all
possible information the subjects
with which the board has to DEAL"
he said. I'VE appreciate the very
great honor conferred upon us by
the president and we hope to make
our work benefit to the people of
the United States"
The five members who took the
oath of office were Charles :. Ham
lin, F.. A. Delano, w. P. Harding, Paul
NJ. Warburg and Adolph c. Miller Mr.
DelanO is vice governor of the board.
Secretary McAdoo and Controller Will
liams are eX-officio members. The
oath of office was administered by
James \. Fitzgerald, assistant chief
of the division of appointments.
The taking of office by the board
was the last step in the preliminary
stage of launching a completely new
banking system of this country, the
subject of consideration in congress
for many years. Officials expect the
transition to be accomplished very
smoothly, and it is probable that the
twelve reserve banks, authorized by
law, will be open for business with
in a few weeks.

The Isis
Today the Isis will present Men and
Women" Biograph-K. & Z. three-reel
picture, a humanity produced and pleas
1ngly artistic melodrama Of modern
American life.
The best among our modern melo-
dramas-those that are carefully writ
ten to be free from our squeezed
lemons, the three situations, and are
produced with painstaking regard for
things that are cOnvtncingly human,
are doubly pleasing to the popular au-
dience. IL anything was ever demo-
cratic our American melodramas are.
They are apt to be shot through and
through with popular conceptions of
fair play in government, Of the essen
tial rights OF the soul even when the
body has been blindly trapped into
some infraction of the cold law, yet is
deeply repentant; but most Of all they
stand firm for the under-dog fighting
to regain place in the sunlight with
his kind, to which his good will and
ability give him a just right. They
are mighty healthy to us at home and
they carry a freight Of stimulation to
eyes of people longing for fair play
abroad.

THE FIRST GAME.

With the heavens heavily laden
with dark clouds and rain patterins
shortly before the time for the game
only a small number of fans were for
tunate enough to witness the two
games yesterday afternoon. The
Wrecking Crew of the Dlembertes ap-
peared in both games. Largely with
assistance of Farinas in the box, and
thanks to perfect fielding on their part
and generosity on the part Of Cornet
and Weber they came home winners

tauraWs.
Farinas was quite free with his kali
somine and with perfect support was
not in trouble at any time. Brent and
Weber were the only members of the
Bakers to get on speaking terms with
Smilum. Brent called on Bush Bell
in the last stanza when he caromed one
off left field boards, but Chouchy saw
that he got no further.
In this game Chouchy pitched one
of the best games that has been wit
messed at the local park this season.
He sent seven Bakers to the bucket

others, except Brent and Weber, by

WHITMANS ADMINISTER
OPPONENTS SINGING DEFEAT

In the second act the Whitman
Candy Kids made the Victors of the
first game look like a buncn of school
boys against a picked team of big
leaguers. Mack Lewis gave them a
dose similar to the one Farinas ad-
ministered to the Pets, but omitted
the kalsonine while mis- followers were
making a collection of twelve HIS, four
for two bases, and ten runs. The Iron
Man pitched an excellent game. but

ing this. however, he struck out seven.
and allowed only three hits and one
run, while his pals were running their
fielding averages with five errors.
Ossie Wolfe in this game got four
safeties out Of four appearances, and
was into everything that bobbed up.
He made only one tiZzle, which came
after two had been sent to cover In
the last stand, and accepted five otner
hard chances.

to deep left for two bags; he was
unable to advance further, as WeDcr
flied to left, and Oliver went out at
first.
Cornct allowed only four bits. and
struck out seven, but was very wild,
and this wildness mixed with the hits
and errors by his teammates caused
his defeat.

appear to be the same team at all
that faced the Fets in the first half
of the afternoon, which fact may be
accounted for by the fact that Fa-
rtnas was not doing the box work
and the big lead which the Candy
Kids put over on them, weighed heav-
lily against them.
After Wells had gone out second to
first, Barrow twisted a wicked sOne
between Smilum and the bag, on which
he made two bases, Brown pushed one
over to right, Christy pulling up at
third. Wolfe then came up with his
big stick and got his extra basezhil
when il could do tine most damage,
both bud and Buster registering. Glib
son slammed a hard one to left on
which Ossie scored. Johnny went To
second on the throw home but could
get no further.

the game by the Kids when they
