HENRY FORD.

Henry Ford has been called a jack ass and a clown because he hired a ship and sailed across the sea to stop the most frightful slaughter the world has ever known. The big thing in his action is not the question whether he will or will not stop the war, but the fact that he is willing to try! It was by trying that he got where he is. But still he keeps on trying.
 In the face of overwhelming odds, in spite of a worldwide criticism, he is willing to undertake the greatest job that ever fell to the lot of a human being in the worlds history. He brushes aside the thousands of columns of newspaper criticisms, he ignores the public utterance of so- called statesmen, he sets his face to- ward the most glorious goal that any man ever hoped to acnieve-and goes on his way Trying.
 So far, he is the only person who aas taken a definite step toward end ing the war. True it may not be the right step, you get that by trying The men who sit in swivel chairs and sheer and make funny jokes about that man Ford are not taking steps of any kind to end the war. The job looks too big and too hopeless to them. It looks big to Ford and may be it looks hopeless to him. But he's got the nerve to try and spends his own money. Asking aid of no man What a nation this would be, if each industry could be headed by Ford who was willing to try, what chance would any other nation under the sur have with us. What if more of us were willing to try and less of us were slaves of convention and creatures of habit. There is a word in the dictionary called can't, leave il there. Never use it. Well we've beer Henry Fording" it for the past twelve years, and expect to keep right at it, until the Powers that be, and the Engineers that direct it, awaker to the fact that Seward is the Begin. hing and Final jumping off place oi construction of Government railroads in Alaska. In the meantime, we have plenty time and help to serve you Best treatment, best price, and sure ly the Best Goods.

form all the feats for which an ordi- nary player uses an assortment of clubs. His method of using his clubs is as follows: He drives off the tee with his midiron, replaces it carefully in his bag and winds his devious way toward the green by land and water, over hill and dale, generally 1T: the rough and always in a trap, digging vigorously with his niblick until the ball has been pitched at last upon the green, where he can use his butter and hole out in a half dozen strokes or more. When he had half completed his round of the Washington links the Detroit leader gave some good advice on how to play golf to those who, followed him.
 There are many other men of baseball fame who use more clubs and take less strokes than Jennings. Tillie Shafer, handicapped at five in the Southern California Golf association. is the best golfer from baseball ranks, but Christy Mathewson, Chief Bender and Fred Merkle are not in the duffer class. Ty Cobb, John Henry, Heinie Zimmerman, Jack Knight and Otis Crandall are oth- CT diamond stars who have taken up the game of the links.

WASHINGTON HAS NEVER
 WON A PENNANT

sentation again until 1879. when it was given a franchise in the National as- sociation. The Nationals finished Last in the league. In 1881 Washington was given a club in the new Eastern association.
 The capital got back on the big league map in 1884, when the city had clubs in both the old American asso- citation and the short lived outlaw Union association. In 1886 Robert C. Hewett was given Washington franchise in the National league, and for some time the capital had two big league clubs. Washington remained in the old American association until it's dissolution in 1891, but never copped pennant. The city was dropped from the National league at the close of 1889, having finished last three times and seventh once. In 1892, with the passing of the American association, Washington was again league and remained until the close of 1899. having spent all but one year in or near the cellar. And, with a dozen clubs, it was a deep cellar in those days
 After its dubious showing in other leagues, washington hoped to do bet ter in the American league, but the Senators finished sixth in 1901, their first year in the Johnson circuit, and didn't do any better than that, and mostly worse, until Cla1k Griffith took charge in 1912. That year the Wash ingtons finished second, and they re- peated the following year. The time worn gag, First in war, first in peace but last in the American league" no longer holds true of Washington.
