Plenty of Old Confidence
Now Carried by Nationals

and will send Dixie Southern to the
mound In the second game tomorrow.
Southern has been winning at a great
clip this season and may be a hard nut
for the Nationals to crack, but IL the
Ciriffmen can keep up their pace with
me stick but few pitchers In the West
will have a chance Of setting them down.
In two Of the three games that the
lub lost in Cleveland they obtained
more hits than their opponents, while to-
day ten clean blows were gathered. The
Nationals have not been getting any the
best of the umpiring to date Umpire
Owens missed Milan at third base and
a play on Austin at first today, but as
neither counted in the run getting not
much protest was heard from the Old
Fox.
Griff put shanks into the battle today
because OF the selection of Southpaw
Plank by the Brownies. Elmer Smith
has shown quite a weakness against this
style of pitching. and as the Old Fox
wanted this battle he gave the best he
had to Veteran Plank to beat.

With Even Breaks Team Ex-
poets to Return Home in
First Division.
BY JOHN A, DUGAN.

81 Louis. Mo-. May 1S-Plenty of the
old pep and confidence is being shown
ners tonight In the camp Of the Grif-
men. due TO their annexing their fourth
straight victory. The game today put
TIE Nationals one game ahead on this
western Invasion. and from the talk that

more than the st. Louis club and the
White Sox to halt their climbing stride.
The Nationals are but two and one
'pah games behind the Brownies, and II
they obtain an even break during the
next eight games. which are to be
staged on this frontier invasion. they
kean possibly return home In the first d.
Vision.
Grin Is confident Of grabbing OF two
more Of the three games that are staged
with the Browns, as he intends using
johnson in the game tomorrow, with
either Gallia or Shaw on Sunday.
Harry Harper looked more like himself
yeste day than he has since his victor
over the Mackmen IN Washington tw
weeks ago. The big southpaw has a
world Of speed but was just trifie wild
Tho clout that Jac bison obtained came
vhep he had a count on him Of three
and two. and whels the Junlman was
compelled to grove the ball because the
Old Fox did not want 10 break the win

started, Il the reason given for the yank-
ing OF Harp r after the first inning and
to confirm this statement he kept the
smoke-ball, Johnso =. IN the bull-pen
warming up all evening. but as Dumont
was stingy with base blows and passes
the smoke was not needed.
Due to the poor fielding which the
Brownies showed this afternoon they
were easy picking for the Nationals, but
Fielder Jones has no bad ball club. as so
far this season his pitchers have been
delivering.
The Mound City tribe failed to show
any wonderful hitting ability against the
Griffmen today, but any club that Is
given air-tight pitching is a hard one
TO beat.

JESUS: AMERlCAN
HE IS NOT CONTEN
BY THE REV. CHARLES STELZLE
Jesus as a citizen stands for the
government. He wouldn't engage in
4 "1ag-bUrning fest" in a vain at
tempt to create "a melting-pOt for
the nations"
He isn't a TevOlUtiOnist in the or
binary sense.
He would not try to overthrow
this government through violent
methods. He believes there are other
ways Of working out social reforms.
And He doesn't rant and rave
about the impossibility of living the
Christian life under the present sys-
tenn. He doesn't say much about the
System" but He does talk a good
deal about the life" He believes
that if you can get enough Of the
people living the right kind Of a
life, you'll get the right kind Of a
system"
There's more liberty and equality
in these United States than there is
in any other part Of the world, and
Jesus is living out his philosophy
with the full realization that He will
make a success of it.
Jesus is strong for the open forum
idea in a democracy.
He believes in talking things out
with the people Get-together meet
ings for the discussion of community
problems has his endorsement. He'd
stand for the proposition that it's
better to talk a week than to strike
a year.
If Jesus can get his way, people
will understand each other better
and that's going a long distance to-
ward the solution of the big social
questions Of the day.
Jesus wants to make this city a
better city in which to live.
He is enthusiastic about having

backing. He always endorses those
fine laws of health laid down by
Moses, found in the Old Testament.
1t is a part of His religion.
AS a citizen Jesus is not content
with negative programs and policies.
He not only wants bad practice
done away with, but He wants good
methods introduced.
He fights the saloon as an insti-
tuition, but He wants something to
take its place. He believes in legiti-
mate recreation. He makes it a prac-
tice to go with his friends to social
functions.
Leaders false to the people will be
publicly denounced by Jesus.
And the language that He uses
when He upbraids the grafters and
crooks is such that they won't forget
it in a hurry.
There's no doubt that Jesus is
ready to fight them and all others
who stand for rottenness. and corrup-
tiOn-it's simply a question of the
choice Of weapons.

FRoMLUcME's DIARY

I I had a most vexatious time trying l to decide what to wear tc the fancy dress party which our Dix AmieS ciuf was giving for it's annual holiday en- ffertainment. Of course wished some thing both novel and becoming. for consider it a mistake to make a fright of ones self at a costume ball. could not think of anything that of the girls what they were going to wear, and they displayed O rather seHdshly secretiye spirit, I thought for they were not willing to show me 1 their costumes. There was one ex- ception, however, and that was Polly I Gray.

 I'm going as an empress of China, I'll have you know, Lucille" returned Polly good naturedly. "I have studied Chinese fashions carefully. and have desigend my costume in the exact cut and style worn by no less a person age than an empress. I have put a 1 tremendous lot of work on it. Don't you think I have copied the Chinese type of embroidery well?"
 Indeed you have. I thought at first 1t was the real thing"

  Very smart in it.
 T think you're wonderfully clever to initiate their art so effectively, Folly.
 Thank you. Lucille. What are you going to wear?"
 'Fhe joke of it is. haven't been able to decide yet"
 But you have only few days left"
 sYes, must make up my mini right away I said
 And on my way home I did make up my mind. remembered that fath- CTS old college friend. MT. Greylock, had collected some perfectly marvel ous Chinese embroideries. and stop ped in at his house to see if Mrs. Grey locke would. lend me some of the less valuable pieces. But Mir. and Mrs. Greylocke were out of town. Their son. a winsome lad of F. saw how I left, and he asked me if there were anything he could do in view Of his parents absence.
 1 don't know hesitated. -T don't think I ought to bother you"
 T don't believe you could bother me-" he answered gayly.
 Well, I won't try.' I said in. the same tone. I'm going to a fancy dress party. and I thought that per haps, your lovely generous mother would let me deck myself out in some of her Chinese enbroideries. but as she is away I fear shall have to conjure up some other costume
 .T don't see why you will. I guess can lend up the duds you need as well as any other member of the house of Greylocke.''
