the cast and special train transports
the organization through the country.
The Flame tells the story of two
young Americans in Latin America.
The title name refers to the ever
burning flame of motherhood. The
young people establish banana plan
tation and are soon swept into the
chaos of revolutions. Thrill after thrill
is caused by their experiences and
perils, but all ends happily before the
final curtain rings down. There come
into the play the old Padre of the
church; the young divinity of the an
Client temple of the sun and moon set
far below it in the earth; the voodoo
witch doctor with her horrible rites
and practices; the revolutionary ban

ers of the schools; in fact all the ele-
ments which go to the making Of real

CAPITAL CITY LEAGUE
TO DIVIDE SCHEDULE
Declares TruxtOn A. c. Champion
Of First Series.

Truxton A. C. has won so many
games in the Capital City League and
lost so few that the organization has
decided to declare the team winner
OF the first series and arrange q sec
ond series.
Continuing the present schedule
through the season, the TruXtons. 1t
Is considered, would win so easily that
interest would be taken from the
league. The second series will give
other teams in the league a chance
to meet the .Truxtons in a post-sesson
series for the pennant.

that q second section OF the SEIZED

GRIFFS QUIT CELLAR
BY TRIMMING MACKS
Gallia and Shanks Are Foremost in
First Victory.

Showing a pleasing increase in ag-
gressiveness, due probably to a shift
ed lineup, the Griffmen cleaned up
the Mackmen in the opening game Of
the final series of the present home
stay. The score was 5 to 3. Today
the Grifrs are out OF the cellar.
Jim Shaw's ineffectiveness threat
ened to bring defeat, for the Macks
scored twice in the first inning and
had the bases full in the second when
Shaw departed from the scene.
Gallia's clever pitching thereafter
brought victory, though Hank Shanks'
sturdy walloping deserves applause.
Rice's scratch hit, a couple OF outs
and Shanks' slam to right brought
over one run in the second. jamie
sons walk. a sacrifice and Henry's
wallop evened the score in the fifth.
The enemy went ahead in the sixth
when Wits blow scored Gooch. but
Milan's double, Wits error on Morgan.
and Shank's second safety brought
two across for the home boys. They
added one more for good measure in
the seventh on Gallia's single and
two sacrifices.

First Failure Of Year.
TREASURY GAINS DEFAULT
Postponed Match Still to Be Run
Of Before Next Match.

The first forfeit in the Depart
mental Tennis League is recorded to-
day. Postoffice failed to marshal
enough players yesterday to make a
stand against the Treasury men. and
the scheduled match was declared for
feited to Treasury.
This is the first forfeit occurring in
the Departmental League, and can be
laid directly to the unusual stress OF
work this year on the departmental
men.
Schedule Changed,
At the start OF the season 1t was
decided to change the schedule. Sew
eral teams notified President Lester
Sisler that they would be unable to
put up competition and asked to be
allowed to stay out during the I'M
usual times.
Other teams signihed their inten-
ton OF seeing the schedule through.
Several matches have been played.
Yesterday Postoffice and Treasury
were slated to appear, but the mail
men could not make the running.
Match Postponed.
Justice-Trade and Navy have a
postponed match to play OFF. The
postpOnement occurred when the
courts were too wet to use Several
matches have been played by the two
teams. II is understood, and the card
will be completed in time to allow
the winner to meet Interior on the

Losing In East.
The lowly position of the Washing
ton club is more a result OF game
played with the three Eastern clubs
than with those of the West
The worlds champions have won
eight out OF nine games with the
Griffmen, while the Yankees have won
Ave out OF seven. The Mackmen look
about as strong as the Griffmen, which
isn't saying much. Eliminating those
series with the Red Sox, the Griffmen
would look not half bad in the pres
ent league scramble.
Because OF their weakness against
Eastern clubs, the Griffs will hardly
do much during the first two weeks
of their coming swing around the cir
cult. They have six games In four
days with the Red Sox, 1--WE in four
days at Shibe Park, and 1--WE in four
days at the Polo Grounds. Only when
they go West can they expect to gain
any on their nearest rivalR
