Wilkins, Jack wilkins brother, has
bought the property. and there is much
conjecture as to the nature OF the edi-
flee which is to replace 1t. Rumor has
run the gamut Of an office building. an

At any rate there is general rejoicing
that tho old house Is to go. IL was

Natalie Berry Boynton, widow of
Brig. Gen. Theodore y. Boynton, has
recently been presented with a pair OF
handsome gold knitting needles by a
friend who is constantly occupied knit

refugees.
Mrs. Boynton was in France last sum-

relief Of the refugees, particularly the
children. OF whom she is very fond, and
since her return she has continued her
work, sending over a box OF com.

Rev. Paddock Feted.

There has never been a more popular
young clergyman in Washington than
was the Rev. Ernest Paddock during
the DAYS when he was assistant to DR..
Mackay-Smith at st. Johns.
Consequently his return to perform the
marriage ceremony for Gladys Mackay-
Smith and William Bell Watkins was
enthusiastically welcomed by his old
parishioners. They almost killed him
with kindness and he was lunched ana
dined every single day of his stay In
town.
One Invitation which caused him par
ticular pleasure and which no was quick
TO accept came from Mr. and Mrs
Frank Sobotka. Mr.. Sobotka, who is
chancellor Of :he, Austrian embassy-he
succeeded Marie Won Paumgarten's
father. Baron Won Paumgarten-was for
years a choir boy at st. Johns and an
ardent worker in the church. Mr.. Pad
dock was very fond of him and 80 also
was DR.. Mackay-Smith. Indeed when
he took up his new post at the embassy,
DIR. Mackay-Smith, he was then Bishop
OF Pennsylvania. sent him a handsome
ring, which he ALWAYS wears.
-
Business or pleasure? Which? All I
have been able to find out is that Sted-
man Hanks is OF for a trip to South
America which Is scheduled TO last for
several weeks. You know he renewed
his connection with the State Depart
ment for the period given over to the
Pan-American Scientific Congress, but II
IL severed again and nobody knows just
what are his plans. His mother, Mrs.
Charles Hanks, has given up the house
in Sunderland place, which she had this
winter, and the family. Stedman with
them, went back to Boston late in
February.

CONTENDERS FOR LEAGUE FLAG
The Break Is Soon Due and the Club to Be

By GRANTLAND RICE

"TTANS WAGNER" says Johnny Evers,
L i us playing the best ball 1 have seen
him play for a good many years. 1 think
his work this season is by far the most
wonderful thing in all the history Of base-
ball Hans must be at least 40 in spite
of his printed age and today he is making
plays that no one else could get away
with. over in Boston he beat us by two
remarkable stops a day or two ago he ran
down IL chances without error, and
he is batting around .315. In place of
slowing up l can take an oath that he is
faster and surer this year than he has been
for three or four seasons. He is the
'Superman of Sport with no rival in sight.
II asked Honus" continued Johnny,
when he intended to quit. Whenever
they'll let me- he answered. But I'll bet 1t
would take an army corps to drive him
away from short or out of the game. If
he had S2O000,0O0 he wouldn't buy as
much fun with all OF 1t as he gets in a
ball game Which is the answer to his
great career"
The Break
For over two months now the first six
clubs in the American League have been
running under a blanlSet--less than five
games apart So for once the early dope
that suggested at least six clubs had
chance has made good. The two surprises,
of course, have been Cleveland and WASH
ington, clubs that deserve exceptional credit
for their fine play
But the second stage of the race now is
on. July generally brings a change. 1t was
early in July last season that the White
SoX faltered and blew as the Tigers and
Red Sox rushed to the front. In the last
three weeks the Tigers have been the best
club in the game. They have been getting
better pitching. and as things stand today
are the most formidable contenders for the
HAIl IaFI.
we'll over 800, while Bobby Veach is on
his way back in hurry.
1t is hardly probable that six ball clubs
will stay very long within four or five
