Sidelights of the Game

Jim Shaw Is the first National pitcher
to turn in two successive games for the
home folks. Incidentally the Pittsburgh
stogie looked as if he had returned
unto his own.
Slim Caldwell, the telegraph operator,
was very stingy with the hits he al
lowed the Nationals. Only in the eighth
were the home team able to punch hits
on him. when a double and two singles
scored two runs.
The Yankees tied the count in the
sixth and the Nationals were not able
to break the tie until the eighth. when
they forged ahead. Shaw was able to
hold the visitors or in the ninth.
Roger PecIdnpaugh secured the first
hit of Shaw, a double to left field in
the third.
Joe Judge scored Ainsmith with the
Nationals first when he doubled down
the left-feld foul line.
Sammy Rice held Highs hard drive
to a single by a fast bit of fielding.
Mcbride started two double plays for
the Nationals and saved Shaw from
further worry in both instances.
Tom Hendryx struck out on three
pitched balls the first time he came to the
bat.
Eddie Ainsnith picked Hendrix of
first base with a snap throw to Judge
in the seventh, much to the latter's dis
gust

The lack OF trained vocational

financial help for this purpose will
prove to be one of the most graf

tional schools which are operated
under the Smith-Hughes Act are
mainly designed to aid those who
will engage. either in the skilled
trades and handicrafts. pr in the
arts of the husbandman.

INSPIRING POLES
Gives Up Concert Work to
Organize Army of His
Countrymen

In ancient times it was quite the
order of things for a bard to come
before the populace and, by his
songs of might and victory, inspire
them to battle. 1t is, therefore, with
a touch of this old world glory that
news comes of the new work of
Ignace Paderewski. the world-fa-
nous pianist and composer. For,
be it known to all who are inter
ested in, the career of this great
Pole that instead of continuing his
work of charming an audience of
people, he has taken up the more
stupendous task of inspiring an
army of soldiers.
NJ. PaderewslSi is at the present
time organizing an army of 500, 900
Poles who are to go over to France
and fight for the honor and rehabili-
tation of their country. According
to Madame Helena Paderewski, his
wife, M. Paderewski feels that moth
ing at the present time is of equal
