Three Washingtonians crossed the
plate in the fourth, mainly because of
Shawkey's wildnesa. Shawkey started
the inning by passing Shanks, Milan
and Rice. Hero he was removed and
Russell substituted. Foster celebrated
Russelrs advent by walloping line
drive to center which scored Shanks
and Milan. On Leonard's grounder to
Maisel Rice was caught between third
and homo and put out by Nunamake r
at the plate Foster went to third
and scored q moment later when Pipps

the NTH period. A walk to Judge, a
sacrifice by Shanks and q single by
Milan accounted for the score. In the
Yankees half OF the fifth they began
to get to Harper. and johnson and
Ainsmith were rushed into the game as

Compliments the Association.

Your association has been foremost
in practicing patriotism. and thereby
stimulating it in others. For many.
many years you have been holding
of which has always been love of city
and love of country. I can recall many
of those meetings, inspiring in their
peacefulness, your association had at
the country home Of your esteemed
member. the late Crosby 8. Noyes. who,
always alive to the best interests Of
the city he loved SO well. recognised in
your association a force that preserved
the best traditions Of that city, and
therefore willingly and generously did
much to encourage and assist you in
your work. Those were peaceful meet
ings. and ours was peaceful country.
Security Of Peacefulness.
I'm the glory and in the security Of
our peacefulness we felt that. after
overcome. nothing could happen to dis
turb our peacefulness. We were not
unconscious of the warlike prepare
tons in Europe, but we envied no ma
ton its trade or its possessions. We
were jealous only of the liberty we en-
toyed and that we were determined to
preserve for the Americans. little con-
cerned with what the conflicting in
terests of Europe might decree.
Our leaders wisely guided US along
the paths OF peace, realizing that II is
a dreadful thing to plunge a peaceful
nation into the horrors of war. None
was more conscious Of the horrors OF
such a step than our beloved President
and none strove more conscientiously
than he to continue us in the paths OF
peace. But 1t will be forever said to
his glory and to ours that when 1t be
