Hank was on first base because

Marvellous MonacAn handled himself
prettily there, too. His great Ieaping

Sloan came to bat in place of Groom.
He poked one toward first base. Hank

close. and the ball just barely pass

Hank made a wild jump. sticking
out his glove to get the ball on the

doubling up somebody, but Fate was
against him. The ball caromed off

PATRIOTISM SWAPS
POLO GROUND FANS
"Marseilaise" Brings 3d.
600 All Up Standing.
NO SHOUTING OR HYSTERIA
New York Stages Demonstration
Filled With Meaning.

The spirit OF 1917 swept through
the Polo Grounds yesterday and made
the double-header between the Yank-
ees and the Detroit Tigers seem like
mere incident. Thirty thousand
people spontaneously rose to their
feet and stood reverently as the pIa-
toons Of the two American League
baseball clubs swept up the field to
The Marseillaise."
On the right flank the Detroit
Tigers, headed by Hughey Jennings,
marched in their slate-blue uniforms
carrying their bats at the right shoul-
der. On the left the Yankees, with
carbines cleaning in the sun. march
ed with a swing that would do credit
to any unit OF the regular army. Be
fore the grandstand they swung into
platoon front and stood at present.
While The Star-Spangled Banner"
was played, writes w. o. Mcclellan,
in today's New York Tribune.
No wild Shouting.
There was no wild shouting, there
was no hysteria. For the moment
the noisy baseball crowd was silent.
and the significance of this neat lit.
tie bit of melodrama seemed to be
felt by all. Young men fresh from the
registration booths fingered their lit
tie blue cards proudly. All in that
throng seemed to realize that within
a short space of time perhaps several
thousand OF those in the stands and
in the field would be on the way to
France.
The drill was staged Immediately
after the FIRST game. Both teams re-
tired to their dugouts. and as the
band struck up "DiXie" they assem-
bled and swung of down the field to
the greatest American lighting tune.
As they wheeled back the band burst
into THE Marselllaise," the greatest
fighting tune in the world. With
sob the crowd surge to their feet
and heads were barred in unison.
Demonstration Most Inspiring.
The air that called the men of the
Marne and the Somme, with the skIrl
Of the pipes that called the men OF
vimy Ridge, died down, and the
American national anthem swelled up
with a new solemnity. 1t was play

the Somme, and Vimy Ridge, and for
their relatives and friends who were
willing that thev should take their
places on the western front.

ROSEDALE LEAGUE
STRIKES TROUBLE
General Baking to Stay, But
Gibraltar viii Withdraw.
FIELD SITUATION IS CAUSE
Circuit Unable to Find One Which
Is Suitable to All.

General Baking, one OF the strong
est local amateur baseball teams,
which, II was announced by Manager
Hutchinson, would withdraw from the
Rosedale League, has decided to re-
tain its franchise.
Gibraltar A. C. also a strong nine,
has given its intentions of quitting
the organization. Difficulty over
playing grounds is the reason for
Gfbraltar's action and the same cause
actuated the General Baking nine in
its original purpose to withdraw.
From the start Of the season the
Rosedale League has experienced trou-
BILE in obtaining a playing field suit
able to all. The league left the Rose
dale playground diamond because
collections at the games were not per-
mitted.
Move To New Diamond.
From there the circuit moved to
Seventeenth and d streets southeast.
and now the games are being staged
on the field at Fifth street and Florida
avenue northeast. 1t is claimed by
the Gibraltar club that some of its
players were unable to reach the
southeast grounds. in time for the
games.
Members of the General Baking
nine have difficulty to keep their en-
gagements at Fifth and Florida A
game is scheduled today between Gen
eral Baking and the Printers. on the
northeast grounds, but it is likely to
be postponed.

Following Manager Hutchinson's
announcement that the team would
withdraw, members OF the Bakers or
ganization disbanded and Hutchinson
is unlikely. to get the players togeth-
er in time for a game today.
Rex A. c., which boasts of many
excellent players. desires a franchise
in the league, It is understood. Should
Gibraltar make good its word to
drop out. Rex probably will take the
franchise.
Two open leagues are in operation.
