KilduH
By James Owen Tryon.

By James Owen Tryon.
Kilduff was of silence,
Few the words that left his lips.
When he spoke he said a volume;
Rockies listened for his tips.
In his dugout, slow and thoughtful,
Like an oracle he sat,
Till one day piece of shrapnel
Made a dent in his tin hat.
Then what did my bunkie dof
He came right out of his trance.
"If what you mean is to crack my beam"
He yelled, you've had your chance!
I'll scalp that Hun, the of gun,
As sure as Kilduffs my name!
There's just one way to have our say
Feed 'em fame, boys; feed em 1amep'
Kilduff had a way about him
That was full of pep and pop,
And his slogan gave the spirit
To the charge across the top.
Silent was his tongue no longer
Twas that shrapnel Jared it free,
And he Lit out for the Boches
In a rage of ecstasy.
And that's what my bunkie did
He jumped right into the fray.
"Why, strike me pink" he cried, "if you think
That Boche can get away!
I'll scalp that Hun, the son of gun,
As sure as Kilduf7s my namel
There's just one way to have our say
Feed 'em fame, boys; feed 'em fame"

Paths of Glory

Well, OF Jack Trim is the pilot
OF this here rackety hack,
An many's the time he's held the reins
In the great old days at the track.
At old Gravesend an Sheepshead
Broomstick's colors came through,

An things are kinder blue.
But it's great in the park Of an evening,
With lurid lights in the sky,
An there's nobody there but Broomstick

Federalized
BY May D. Hatch.

Up to the attic, dusky lair
For the hidden soldiers, the woman sped;
With gentle hands she had slowed them there,
These soldiers of precious lead.
There they were-how it hurt her throat,
The rush of thoughts for the days gone by;
There was the fort with its leaky moat
So long grown rusty and dry.
How gay were the soldiers when they were new,
What fun it had been to pick them out,
French, and the unguessed German, too,
Rough Rider and Indian Scout.
She gathered them up from the battered fort,
They had served for play; their metal again
Should serve the boys who had loved fair sport,
Her clean, fair-fghting men

The Ace
By Willis STEEL.

The silver ladder of the dawn,
Oh, lightly, lightly treads the Ace,
Safe as a child upon lawn,
With careless, smiling face.
/ watch your bright wings beating
For sport the sky's blue height,
And flashing and retreating
In the sweet morning light!
The wonder of it as you swim,
Oh, mounting, mounting, ever higher.
Straining the vision to a dim
Nudge in stream of fire!
And as you soar I'm yearning
To follow you up there,
Far darling, and returning
To breathe diviner air!
The empty spaces meath your car,
Oh, wary, wary, peer below!
Those pearly clouds as ramparts are
To hide lurking foe.
watch you spread your talons
And beat your wings apace-
He falters-loses balance. ..
Icarian disgrace!
The golden ladder of the eve,
Oh, lightly, lightly, you retrace,
You drop like saying "by your leave"
To your customed place.
watch you fall, full hearted,
And deep-breathed after strain,
When bird and you are parted
Are you but man againf

Never!

Translated From the French of A. Bollaert
BY Jorge Godoy.
So long as vessels sail the sea
And green grass grows and grows again,
So long as clouds pass by the sky
And ten times one makes ten, just ten.
So long as happy shepherd boys
Pick marjorams sweet while sunbeams shine,
And girls of twenty dream of love,
And poets sing of art divine.
So long as in Gods perfumed fields
Poor little white lambs Craze and play
And tuneful birds in woodlands sing
Throughout the hours of smiling day.
So long as reapers gather crops,
And hfe, brief life, brings joy and pain,
The sons Of France will meier forget
Their dear Alsace and dear Lorraine

On Clingman Dome

By Olive Dargan.
The balsam buds are bluer
From leaning on the sky;
With faces nearer, truer,
The stars pass eousinly.
And here on moss like heather,
As fragrant and as deep,
Safe In the tender weather,
The baby angels sleep.
They curl and tumble near me,
Like little laughing flames;
They nudge and do not fear me,
And whisper me their names.
When with the dawn waken,
hear them scurrying,
And stare just half mistaken
Where leaves shine like wing.
Gods truants, but forgiven;
For all day long / see
A silver door In heaven
Lean open eoaxingly.
From the Nep Republic.

by Mics ~ nelly.
Three years ago to-day
We raised our hands to heaven,
And on the rolls of muster
Our names were thirty-seven.
There were just thousand bayonets,
And the swords were thirty-seven,
As We took the oath of service
With our right hands raised to heaven.
o twas gallant day
In memory still adored-
That day of our sun bright nuptials
With the goddess of the sword!
Shrin rang the flies, the bugles blared,
And beneath a cloudless heaven
Twinkled q thousand bayonets;
And the swords were thirty seven.
And of the thousand bayonets
Two hundred march to-day;
Hundreds lie in Virginian swamps
And hundreds in Maryland clay;
And other hundreds, less happy, drag
Their shattered limbs around
And envy the deep, calm, blessed sleep
OF the battle6eld's holy ground.
As for us-one night a week ago
Our remnant, just eleven,
Gathered around banqueting board
With seats of thirty-seven;
There were two limped in on crutches
And two had each but hand
To pour the wine and raise the cup
As we toasted "Our flag and landr'
And the room seemed filed with whispers
As we looked at the vacant seats,
And with choking threats we pushed aside
The rich but untasted meats.
Then in silence we brimmed our glasses
And rose up-just eleven,
And bowed as we drank to the loved and
Who had made us thiry-sevenl

BENEFIT GAMES
AT HILL TODAY
Navy Leaguers Battle Guam.
tico Marines In Twin Bill
at Georgetown.

Local followers of the indepen-
dent and league games will be given
another chance today to witness
Lieut. Johnny Craig's crack Guam
tico Marines in action against the
pick of the Navy Interbureau
League. A double bill is carded for
Georgetown field. the first game be-
ing scheduled to start at p. m.
In the first game the Operation
team. which was beaten by the Ma
rines in the last start, will face the
Sea Soldiers, while the AlI-Stars, un-
der the direction of Capt. Matthews.
will face the Vfrginians in the night
cap.
1t is certain that there will be,
in addition to the usual rivalry be-
tween the Sailors and Marines. an
incentive to extraordinary effort on
account of the 15-to-3 walloping
that the tackles handed to the
Leathernecks on the 9Th. But there
is still more beneath the surface
in the staging of the games. The
Marines lost out by a narrow mar
gin in the first series of the Navy
Interbureau League, and have sworn
vengeance against Operations, the
first series pennant winners. Feel
ing runs high between the two base
ball organizations, and il is no mere
guess that the games will be a I'm
ish fight, with no quarter either
given or received.
The dope on this contest is in
teresting, but leads to no safe
ground for prediction. On May 19
at Quantico. Operations. lacking all
of its regular batteries, was defeat
ed by the Marines to the extent OF
9 to o. In the first game at Ameri-
can League Park, on June 3, Oper-
ations, having lost its star third
baseman, Degnan. by an accident
just before play was called. and hav-
ing given up its craftiest pitcher
Kelly, to work for the All-Star
team in the second game, was again
defeated by the Marines by the
score of 5 to o.
In the second game on the same
date. pitching for the All-Star team
Kelly let the Marines down with
the tiny end of a l6-to-3 count
During May and June. Operations
was b-o0ZinC through the Navy In
tc"bureEu League with ? wins and

Supplies and Accounts. Capt
Craige thinks that the Marine teams
which played on June 9, if reversed
as to the navy teams which they
opposed, would clean up. The game:
are to settle all these old scores
and differences of opinion.
In the meantime both teams have
been gradually strengthening theil
ranks. On the 10th. Operations de-
feited the crack Rex A. C, to 2
on the ed. they played Reina Mer'
cedes to a doubtful 3-to-2 loss. The
Quantico sea soldiers have also in
the last few days added more bis
leaguers to their lineup, and on thu
cath opened the second series of the
Navy Interbureau League BY
squelching Ordnance to the tune o.
10 to in innings. Both team:
look much stronger than when they

DUNDEE RUNS
OUT OF BOUT
Scotch Wop Disappears
Just Before Clancy Bat
tie in Baltimore.

Baltimore. Nd, June 29.-For some
reason unknown to'the promoters of
the George Chaney-Johnny Dundee
fight which was to have taken place
here this afternoon at Oriole Park,
Dundee came to the city and left it
as suddenly as he blew in without
showing up at the park for the fight.
At least 5000 fight fans had gathered
to witness the mill, and a more dis
appointed crowd could not be i'm
agined than those 5000 when il was
-nnounced that Dundee had LEFT the
Gity and had broken his contract.
Some of the fans demanded their
money back, but a majority of them
took the affair good naturally and
allowed their share to go to the Red
Cross for it was agreed that a por-
ton of the receipts was to go that
way. CLANCY was a much disap-
pointed boy for he was sure of a win
over the New Yorker. He later took
on Hansen Of Brooklyn, and knocked
him out in the fifth round.

RAISING FUNDS TO
ENLARGE GOLF COURSE

Bannockburn golf members arc
now busily engaged in raising sufi-
cient funds to help defray the ex-
penses of charging their course to
the full eighteen holes and w. H.
Dulaney has been named as chair
man of the committee looking after
this matter.
Donald Ross, the Pinehurst pro-
fessional who will take charge of
the layout and actual work of en-
larginS the course, has now COM
pleted his report and submitted II
to the club with blue-prints, sug-
Gestions, etc., and the committee is
now figuring on the necessary
changes of its present nine holes
so as to make them harmonize with
the least number of changes with
the eighteen-hole plans. 1t is hop
ed that work on the extra holes
will be completed before the end of
next year.

GOLFERS WILL PLAY
OFF TIE AMONG TEAMS

Arrangements are now being made
between the Bannockburn and Wash
ington Golf and Country clubs for
a play-of OF the tie now existing in
the twelve-man team matches. These
two teams have met twice. Ban
1ockburn winning by a point on the
Virginia course and losing by the
same margin last Sunday on its own
heath. The play-off will probably
be arranged TO be decided on the
Washington Country Club course
next Sunday afternoon.
When it is considered that these
matches are played as foursomes,
each pair playing the other while
two singles matches are PLAYED at
he same time-making a three-point
count-it is rather remarkable that in
two matches teams should end all
even and players of both clubs are
looking forward with great anticipa-
ton toward the play-off for the sea-
sons honors.
