THE FLAGS CHRISTMAS.

ms MORNING. as I look and see
The Flag still waving over me.
| lift my eyes to it and say:
old Flag, a Merry Christmas Day.
May every friend of yours be true,
May every sky above be blue,
AS blue as is that field divine
Wherein your stars Of glory shine!
Today some give their blood to shed
To tint your stripes a deeper red,
And some bring gifts Of courage rare
To keep you fine and splendid there.
My Christmas gift must be to you
My hearts devotion. through and
through.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1917-12-21

God grant that men shall never see
The day when you must cease to be!
That never strong or cunning foe
At you shall strike deadly blowi
May children's laughter and their song
OF gladness. as you pass alcng,
Be yours to hear: may mothers fair
Rejoice 10 see you dancing there:
May all men, under Gods great sky,
Bareheaded stand as you go by.
And when these days of care are DER,
May every joy be yours once moret
oh, finest friend TO man. / pray
For you Merry Christmas Dayte

binoculars and moved TO the window.
The moon cast such a glow OF the
river that she drew in deep breaths OF

MUST KEEP AGREEMENT.
President Ford Declares Managers Are
VIOLATING League Pacts.

That Central Association managers
are disregarding the rules Of profess
sional baseball and association agree
ments is the declaration of President J.
f. Ford, who threatens to throw out
games if the evils are not Immediately
corrected. '
In an interview with the Times-Re-
publican Wednesday President Ford de-
| the rules and agreements governing the
player limit, salary limit, and employ
ment of veterar~players.
Mr.. Ford EXPRESSED surprise that no
protests had oeen filed by managers,
and limited that the general violation
of the rules had resulted in managers
who had reason to complain, following
the example OF those who first disre-
garded the baseball laws, with virtually
all now offending agaips, rules and
agreements.
The first complaint to reach the pres
ident will result in the throwing out OF
games won by the offending clubs. de-
clared President Ford He said the vic.
lations were known % him and intim-
ated that unless complaints were filed
StSpS ulISll ne "a y =! Io!L !Iis oiiiNc
IT, rectify Il condition which he believes
may become ruinous 10 the game.
The box score CT zee ent game, .fe-
clared Mr.. Ford. slowed enc ciuo TO
have fourteen men in tie H. cup, fla
ga ut Violation Of the Faye limit rule
Of the national association. Other clubs
are known TO have more veterans than
the Central Association agreement per
mits under the ROCKY rules The ques-
ton OF salaries of course, is a difficult
one to determine, but Il is known that
some of the clubs are paying salaries
far beyond the limit prescribed by the
national association for Glass D clubs.
President Ford pointed 20 the recent
effort of clubs to strengthen with the
grabbing of players from defunct
leagues, without regard to the increase
in the number of men carried, salaries
paid or the status of the players under
the rocky" agreement
Strict regard for the rules, the presi-
dent believes. would result in the saw
ing OF large sums TO the clubs and in
sure the completion of the season by
some organization now having difficult
~ in weathering the storm
President Ford has asked that man
ayers get within the limits Of the rules
at once. and declares that all com
plants will bring prompt punishment
from his office to the often iers.
