Duncan Gets a Hit.

Duncan, the first man to face Shaw in
the second, planted the ball safely to
center, but was forced by Warner at
second, Rice to Mcbride. Shaw then
walked three men in a row, forcing
Warner in with the Barons second and
final tally. a fast double play, Leonard
to Ainsmith to Rice, ended the inning.
Walter Johnson succeeded Shaw in
the box in the fourth and breezed along
in great style for two innings, but the
sixth was fraught with great possibili-
ties. only circus catch by Elmer
Smith saving the redoubtable Kansan
from having two runs chalked up
against him. Johnson passed Clarke,
the first man to face him, and Duncan
sacrificed him to second. Warner flied
to left, but Johnson also was unable
to get them over for Webb. and with
two men on Hawarth slammed a line
drive of the cleanup variety down to-
ward the left-field bleachers, fair by
about ten feet. Smith appeared to have
little chance of Spearing it. but dashed
over and managed to intercept the ball
with one hand. He was roundly ap-
plauded for his feat.
Charlie Jameson worked the last
three innings and got by in great style
allowing but one hit.
How Washington scored its quartet
of runs is easily told. After Leonard
had famed. to open the game, Foster
reached first on Webb's error and took
second when Milan singled to right.
Both advanced on Smiths infield out
and scored when Hill cut loose with a
wild pitch into the visitors dugout. The
other two counters We're rung up in the
eighth. Leonard opened with double
down the right field foul line. Foster
and Milan rendered no assistance, but
Smith duplicated Joe's hit, sending the
third sacker in, and when Rice singled
over short Smith scored. Score:

OUR SOUTH AMERICAN MIS-
SIONS
Isaiah. 60.1-5, Is, Is.
By Robert D. Burbank.

President of Washington District Epworth Ieague.
South America is awakening. and the
stirring call that comes from the con-
tinent of opportunity to the churches
of our land is well expressed in Gods
message, spoken through the lips of
Isaiah. the prophet of the far vision, to
His people Israel: Arise, shine: for
thy light is come. and the glory of
the Lord is risen upon thee. For behold
darkness shall cover the earth and
gross darkness the peoples: but the
Lord shall arise upon thee, and His
glory shall be seen upon thee. And ma
tions shall come to thy light, and kings
TO the brightness of thy rising"
South America is rugged giant: in
that continent are found the world :
greatest mountain ranges. densest for
estS and largest rivers. 1t contains a
larger habita BILE area than North Ameri-
ca. and also has the largest unexplored
area of any continent, notwithstand-
ing all of Col. Roosevelts discoveries
We can scarcely grasp the comparison
of continental areas, but we can un-
derstandingly compare those of states.
Almost everybody knows that Brazil is
larger than Europe or the continental
United States, but it is not so well
known that Texas could be lost twice

room for Kentucky and Tennessee !;
that Peru could comfortably swallow

There are nearly half million Italians

The resources of South America are
almost past computation. The mines
are now producing vast quantities of
gold, silver, copper, tin and iron ore,
and the immense coal fields are practi-
