THE NEW oCCOQUAN"

Mrs Branham has opened tea
room at headquarters of the National
woman's Party in Washington. The
room is decorated in yellow and black,
with brilliant eretonne hangings. The
fact that there are iron bars at the
windows has given rise 10 the sugges-
zion that the tea room be known as
.The New oecoquan.'
Mrs. Branham is well known among
Annapolis suffragists, and her daugh-
ter. Miss Lucy G. Branham, was the
state organizer this past winter of
the Just Government League, and,
while working in Annapolis, was the
guest of Mrs. Spencer Murray at Ac-
ton, while working in the interests of
suffrage in the Legislature here.

THE CELEBRATION OF TmE lTH.

The Fourth of July will be celebrat-
ed this year around the world 1t
will be celebrated by foreign repub-
lies and by democratic monarchies.
II will be celebrated. strangely enough,
by kings and queens, including the
osvereigns OF the empire from which
our Independence Day Declaration
severed as.
10 will be celebrated with yigOr and
fitness by the million American sol
diers who are lighting in Europe TO
vindicate the principles of our great
Declaration II will be celebrated
here at home in every American city
and town, with new understanding and
appreciation, by natives and the chill
dren of natives, and no less by aliens
and aliens children.
All these memorial activities are ad-
mirable. There is another, however,
that probably makes a stronger APP
peal to the imagination than any Of
them II is the celebration taking
place in American shipyards.
There are over 80 ships being
launched on this Fourth, far more
ships than ever before, in all the
world, hit the water at one time. They
aggregate about half million tons, a
greater tonnage than we used to
launch in the course of whole year.
They will provide the means by
which we can maintain more than
10000 troops I'm France.
And that Is but one day. 1t is ex-
ceptional. to be sure. Some of those
ships have been held back little for
the occasion. others have been rush
ed. But the launchings will not stop
when the last of those new merchant
men has slid down the ways. The
glorious splash will be repeated the
next day; and the next, in ever-grow-
ing volume. until every day in the
year is reminiscent of this big cele-
bration.
II is particularly fitting because of
what the ships mean II was German
attacks on our ships. German violation
of the sacred sea laws, that drove us
to war. We entered the struggle
first of all to vindicate the freedom
of the seas and make good our right
to sail them at our own pleasure,
without the permission and despite
the prohibition of any upstart auto
crat. These ships are re-establishing
that freedom-the oldest freedom
there is. and the most vital to nations.
How the Kaiser, with his own mer-
chant fleet half lost and the rest rust
ing in safe harbors, envies those so
launchings! And how he longs for
the sea-mastery they represent!

OUR ANSWER.

German statesmen and editors
throughout this war have affected to
regard the United States as a nation
that talks a great deal more than it
acts. 1t is therefore fitting that our
answer to the new German peace Of
fensive is given in deeds rather than
words.
That answer is written large in our
present war activities. One item is
the appropriation of $4,000. 600 900
for the army. Another is the adop-

TO PITCH BALL
Mighty Walloper May Be
Benched by Sox Pilot.
Wrist Is Injured.

New York. July. SIN spite of the
passing Of July 1.-the day on which
tho work or fight order went into
force. jumpings to the Ship and Steel
leagues have sbated. The case of
George Ruth. of the Red sox. who
was reported to. have jumped to the
Chester shIpbriIding yard last We'd
nesday. was rather peculiar one. 1t
develops thet. Ruth had no real I'm
tention Of staying away from the
team. He only. wanted to frighten
Ed Barrow~o out Of infiicting a $50 fine
and he wanted TO pitch only one
game for the Chester club.
Last Tuesday BARROW told Ruth In
choice language that he was not keep
ing In condition. Ruth's batting eye
has not improved Of late, and his
failure in several pinches at WASH
ington proved costly TO his club. On
Wednesday Ruth decided to pitch for
Chester. but his friends that night
talked him out Of going through with
that threat. He reported to Barrow
on Thursday morning and was riled
when his manager failed to fall ON
his neck and greet him like the lost
prodigal. Barrow paid no. attention
to Ruth and when the Red sox went
out for lunch Ruth again made up
his mind to quit the club. Once more
he thought better Of that plan and
he came back for the afternoon game,
to strike out twice.
" Barrow had been trying TO send Ruth
back TO his regular assignments as n
pitcher. but Ruth repeatedly had Of
fered excuses for remaining in the
outfield. When the Red Sox were
here some time ago Barrow told Ruth
that he wanted him to go back as a
regular pitcher and to quit the out
field work. Ruth sdemurred. He said
that he had a Rad wrist and a bad
elbow. and the he feared he could
mot do himself Justice in the box.
Now Mr.. Ruth will pitch or sit on
the bench, for in Barrow he has ex-
acty the kind OF a manager who
will take no sass. ..

WILLIE HOPPE
TO JOIN NAVY
Great Billiard Player Will
Cast Lot in Big War
With "Jackies.''

The billiard world may soon be
looking for a new champion.
Willie Hoppe. champion of cham
pions, greatest of all billiardists,
rast or present, is seriously con-
sidering entering the navy.
Under the Crowder work or
fight" order Willie, as champion
knight of the green cloth. is not
engaged in an useful occupation.
Hoppe is just inside the draft age.
So Hoppe believes the navy is
the place for him to land.
Hoppe is too much of an Ameri-
can to seek a subterfuge in some
occupation which would permit
him some time to practice bill
lizards. He is too much of an
American to complain against the
Crowder edict. but he declares that
it will end his career as a cham
pion competitive biIliardist.
Three months of military serv-
ice would be enough to shatter
championship billiard form beyond
all hope" Hoppe said recently in
New York. BY entering the navy
l will be automatically announcing
my retirement from the game.
Billiards is a game of exact
science, that demands delicate
hair-spring tension and absolute
accuracy. This can snly be main
tanned by constant practice and
freedom from counter action. Any
other employment would destroy
the efficiency a champion must
! have"
Hoppe believes other athletes
will be similarly affected, although
perhaps in less degree. Baseball
players, boxers. athletes of all sorts
with their nervous systems impaired
! by long months in the trenches and
the rigors Of battle will find they
have lost their cunning.
Hoppe is the greatest of all bill
liardists. He has never been de-
feated in his particular line, balk
line billiards. His records are
comprehensive. Every now and
then new styles of the game have
been invented for him and he has
always showed his supreme mas
tery.

When Joe Lannin announced the

5orkfuL 1t Is not much of a secret
that Mr.. Lannin is heavily interest
ed in the organization OF which
Baltimore is a member. While the
Tnnur leland hnfaI Nd
former owner of the Red Sox is not
the richest man in the world he is
very wealthy one. and baseball is
something of hobby with him. He
made big money out of the Red Sox
when they were winning pennants
and worlds series. Failure to team
well with President johnson result
ed in Mr.. Lannin selling the Red
Sox at a very nice profit. net taking
into consideration what he had
cleaned up while he was the own
er. Mr.. Lannin has taken the point
of view that, inasmuch as he made
this money out of baseball. he is
not adverse to letting some of it so
back into the game-all of it if
necessary
1t will be remembered that Mr.
Lannin owned the Buffalo Club. and
although things broke badly up
there, he bought the club in after it
had gone through some formal legal
proceedings. He knew that this
year did not premise to be a good
one financially for minor leagues
being certain practically that it
would be a loser. Had Mr.. Lannin
been thinking only in financial
terms he could have let his So, 900
or so loss up in Buffalo go and he
would not have missed it. But he
is a sportsman and wants the game
to go o. He not only kept Buffalo
going. but invested sufficient money
IN other ciHes, to assure the clubs
in those places.
