After the BarOns had given him n four-run lend yesterday afternoon Ar thur Johnson allowed the Volunteers to pound him to all corners of the lot and the Vols had no trouble in winning II to 5.
 On the other hand, Rube Kissenger, outside of the third, held the Barons at his mercy. Although he allowed nine hits, with the bnses occupied, the Bar ons could do nothing more than to pop mp to the Vol infield.
 In the third, with the count l to in favor of the visitors, the Barons started a rally that netted them five counters But the lead was not held long as the Vols came back and scored a trio in both the fourth and fifth,
 The Barons came upon the field yester- day to get revenge, but they found the Volunteer team stronger than their stand ing indicates. Sensational fielding fea- tured the long and draggy game cold north wind kept the ladies' attendance down, although they have only two mrre games to see. Luck was against the Barons and coupled with the miserable pitching of Johnson, the Vols did not have much opposition in rapidly beclouding the Baron pennant aspirations
 Vols Start Early
 The Vols started things right off. Cal. ahan led off with a single to right. but perished there as the next three Vols went out in order. In the second the visitors got down to real business. Jack Farmer led off with a rap back of second and outran Ellam's peg. Sheehan failed to connect with the pill in two attempts to sacrifice Farmer to second and then struck out. Wallace, by perfect peg, caught Farmer off first Dodge was then served with four wild ones and walked to first He immediately swiped second and scored moment later when Jimmie Magee dropped Streit's long fly, after a hard run. The Vols then discontinued scoring until the fourth, when they jumped on Johnson properly
 The Barons then began to realize the score and started to wallop the pill. Johnson put Texas leaguer back of snort but was forced at second moment later fon Carrol!s bunt to Kissinger. Rubs baked and Charlie advanced to saccnd after having been caught off first Lind nay helped matters by beating out slow grounder to Sheehan Sloan bounced figh bounder toward Paulette and Carroll scored when Pauettes throw to the plate was a little bit wild. Coyle was safe on a fielders' choice when Tod was forced al second by Dodge. Coombs was passed and then Ellam cleaned the bags with a Hf,Nble to deep right. Wallace ended the U. vorks by grounding out to Dodge The BHfons had numerous opportunities to score but the necessary hit was always missing.

BUILDING UP AN INDUSTRY

We can build up any industry we
wish in this country If we give it
proper aid. A case in point is certain
chemicals and dyestuffs, for which We
have depended solely upon Germany,
and in which the war threatens to
produce a famine. Prior to the break
ing out of the war our chemical industry
was doing all ii could do i'm the face

Beginning with nothing, the tim

ton Already we have an active
chemical industry, and the country
possesses sufficient so-called coal-tar
raw materials for complete dom
este coal-tar chemical industry. If
ii is worth while To have the assur-
ance that we shall always have these
essentials, irrespective of the fortunes
Of war, all that is necessary is TO give
the chemical industry sufficient tariff
protection.
The trouble with tariff making in the
United States has been thatit has gone
to extremes. When the people have
become convinced that tariff 'protec-

SECOND ANNUAL
BOYS CONFERENCE
A GRAND SUCCESS
CONTINUED from Page -

Every man is "A self made man.
We often think of the self made men
as being only those who have risen out
OF poverty into successful career,
But | want to say that the boy who is
reared in a home of luxury and ease
and who withal makes a success. is
much more a self made man than the
other You all are familiar with the
expression of the street, when one boy
asks another if he has the markings.
BY this he means the markings OF a
cigarette. But am dealing now with
the makings of man. Man is either
an asset or "a liability. We cannot
make a man unless he works We
must have active boys from which TO
make men. The way to make a man
is to start i'm on the boy
we can mold the lives Of boys and
make them what we will For Illus
tration let me mention the ways a
board may be used TO change It's value.
First We have the rough board that
may be used simply as a walk. Its
value is not great But pick it up and
make il into one OF a set OF stairs and
il becomes a step and the value is in
creased, because il is part OF a house
Take this same board and make OF il
a piece of furniture and its value is
still farther. enhanced. And SO 1t is
with the boy His value TO the COM
munity depends wholly upon his re-
lation to the community.
Boys or men don't happen. They
must ne made. Men are different
from things. \ child is always max
ing something. and the best thing for
a boy TO make is To make himself. The
way To make a success is to learn to
make yourself do things YOU don't
want to do. You are nearer 10 sue
cess when YOU get 20 the place where
you get mad at yourself because you
cannot make yourself do the things
you think you ought TO do.
Every boy should choose voca-
ton and then lit himself for il. There
is always room at the top, but the
men at the top must be capable The
man at the top must direct the multi
tude. 1t is the things that are not
seen that makes a man tit for the
top Of the ladder The things not
seen are real and abide forever. 1t
is the unseen things that count and it
is the business of the Y. NJ. G a. TO
bring these things out in the youth
of the country. Y. NJ G. a, work is
the work OF making men 1t is the
work Of preventing the sad things and
is the greatest work in the world
Like begets like Boys will be
what their fathers are. Every father
should live as he would have his
boy live The father should make
companions OF their boys That is
why we want the fathers here tonight.
Isn't this a grand sight. The associa-
ton of fathers and sons here is worth
more to this community than any
other thing that could happen TO the
community. Fathers. be big brothers
10 your sons. 1t will pay"
At the close of the banquet the
men and boys enjoyed short social
chats in various parts of the church.
