also were made on Saturday. The two
shortstops, Weaver and Fletcher. lead their
respective teams in errors the former
having four and the latter three. The
average of John Collins, the Sox fielder,
of three errors in total of seven

the boys and girls in gardening. The
proposal was adopted.
1t was determined to allow the gar
deners a certain part of the proceeds
and give the rest to the Red Cross.
Forty lots were obtained by the asso-
citation and 81 gardeners responded to
the call. Not only boys. but adults
who wished to cultivate gardens under
the plan were accepted. One of the
gardens was cultivated by two small

during the war, but soon afterward.

Mr.. Sigg has the greatest faith in
new Russia, if allowed to rebuild its
own regeneration without foreign,
especially German influence. He con-
sider5 the Stockholm conference more
or less a farce owing to the DIVERGENT
views of the Socialist delegates from
the different countries. He flouts
the work at Petrograd of Robert
Grimm, the Swiss Socialist who en-
deavored to make peace between
Germany and Russia, who, he says,
never represented Swiss socialism and
who acted like Hoffman on his WE
authority without consulting his col
leagues"
German Socialists. with few ex-
ceptions," said Mr.. Sigg, have betray-
ed international Socialism by follow

are now beginning to awake from
their false dream
Tho, like all SWISS I ardently wish
