Rays trouble started. Guest, first UP
for the mill in the seventh hit a
single down the third base line. and
made first base. Johnson, succeeding
him, sacrificed, and sent them up a
notch. Then Stadelli walked and Kane
walked. Next up, Mclean hit one to
Hosp at short, and the latter, missing
Tonneman, hit the grandstand, allow
ing Guest and Stadelli to score. Then
Mcdonnell made two base hit, scor-
ing Kane. Next Carisch bunted on the
first base line. Ray, making desper-
ate efforts to stop the flood before it
was too late, only succeeded in fumbl-
ing the ball, and Mclean was safe on
Delhi's error Next Westerzell bunted
on the third base line again hasty and
scored on Smiths error.
Once more in the ninth the Hayden
boys broke through, when Mcdonnell
and Westerzell both doubled, scoring
one run.
Hayden's victory can hardly be
counted against Delhi, who pitched a
beautiful game. But the hitting power
on the opposing side is far better this
year than in previous season, and
Rays fielding was simply not equal
to the strain Some of their old time
vim and pep seemed lacking, SOW
how and for the first time in the his
tory of the League it's star team bore
strong resemblance to a shamfaced
bunch of rockies. The trouble came
from the wild throw of Hosp, the Ray
shortstop. Stadelli was eagerly watch
ing from second and when Hosp
threw the ball away from Tonnemnan,
he started his mad race for the home
plate. 1t was thrilling moment, and a
bitter one for the opposing team. yell

Umpire when he called this score
fair one.

THE FLAG
(By FRANKLIN x. LANE, Secretary
of the Interiorl

This morning, as l passed into the
land office, the flag dropped me
most cordial salutation, and from it's
ripping folds l hear it say: Good
morning, Mr.. Flag Maker
Il beg your pardon, Old Glory"
said. You are mistaken. I am not
the President of the United States
nor the Vice President, nor a mem
ber of Congress, nor even a general
in the army. 1 am only a govern
ment clerk
We'll, you helped to clear that pa
tent for the hopeful inventor in New
York, or pushed the opening of that
new ditch in Colorado, or made that
mine in Illinois more safe, or brought
relief to the old soldier in Wyoming.
No matter whichever one of these
beneficient individuals you may hap
pen to be, l give you greeting, Mr.. Flag
Maker"
But I said, impatiently, these
were only WORKING.
Then came a great shout about the
flag.
Let me tell you who l am.
Il am not the flag, not at all. I am
but it's shadow.
81 am whatever you make me-noth-
ing more.
81 am your belief in yourself, your
dream of what a people may become.
Il am song and fear, struggle and
panic, an ennobling hope.
Il am the days work of the weak
est man and the largest dream of the
most daring,
Il am the Constitution and the court,
statutes and statute makers, soldier
| and dreadnought drayman, and street
sweep, cook, counselor and clerk.
II am the battle of yesterday and
| the mistake of tomorrow.
Il am the mystery of the men who
do without knowing why.
II am the clutch of an idea and the
reasoned purposes of resolution
Il am no more than what you be-
lieve me to be, and l am all that you
| believe l can be.
Il am what you make me, nothing
| more
Il swing before your eyes as bright
| dream of color a symbol of vOI1rcalf q
pictured suggestion of that thing wh1ci,
makes this nation. My stars and my
stripes are your dreams and your la
bors. They are bright with cheer, bril-
liant with courage, firm with faith be-
cause you have made them so out of
your hearts, for you are the makers of
the flag, and it is we'll that you glory
in the making Efficiency.

HAYDEN FANS
ARE PLEASED
WITH OPENER
(By a Hayden FAM

Everyone who saw the Ray ball game
last Sunday is convinced that a new
era is about to begin in the Tri- Cop
per League. Coming back from the
game and walking through the streets
of Ray you could hear nothing but
baseball. The price of copper, the de-
claration of war, the imminence of the
recruiting officer and all other vital
topics of the hour were lost in the
universal statement, Gee, the Hayden
boys this season will be riding in auto
mobiles that the Ray fans are going
to buy for 'em"
The game throughout was a breath
less, absorbing spectacle, where every
crack of the bat sent a thrill through
the hearts of the onlookers, and every
fly that scared up against the hazy
April sky carried with it the hopes
and fears OF the thousand and more
spectators. When at last the final de-
cision was reached, and the hope of
Rays winning was ultimately ex-
tinguished, a long sigh of relief
marked the end of two solid hours of
nerve straining suspense.
1t was in the seventh inning, when
the extraordinary break in Rays line
of defense let five runs through fo1
Hayden, that the fans showed symp-
toms of going insane from excite
ment. The two teams had seemed so
evenly matched, playing up to this
moment without a score on either side.
that the spectators looked for one a
one-run game, or even an indecisive
ending. Delhi, working with his usual
skill, and Johnson pitching with splen-
did precision, struck out man after
man, while the fielding on both sides
left little to be desired. The balance,
if anything, seemed a trifle in favor
of Ray. Often they got to first and
second, and in the fourth nearly
scored, but always they were headed
off at the critical moment
Then suddenly and without warning,

HAYDEN PATRIOT
WOULD SERVE AGAIN

HAYDEN, Ariz., April 20.-Too old
to serve, but not too old to heed the
call of his country, H. B. Cummings,
a resident of Hayden, last week tend
cred his services to the United States
Government, requesting permission to
join the u. S. S. Yosemite on which
he served during the Spanish -Ameri-
can war. The veterans hopes, how
ever, were doomed to disappointment,
as the following telegram later arriv-
ed from the Naval Reserve Headquar-
ters, at Detroit Mich:
Regret very much cannot use you
on account of age limit
Mr.. Cummings is a well known and
popular citizen of Hayden, and his de-
votion to the flag is deemed an honor
which reflects not only upon himself
but upon the town he has chosen as
his home.
