Pertaining to Poland Polish
peasants wear a short overskirt, so
perhaps one side of the problem, IL
solved. But Polonaise means also
sort of formal dance which origin
ated in Poland and had a patriotic
Significance. II was customary for
the Polonatse to be danced by the
Polish mobiles dxsring the festivities
which followed the election OF their
kings in the days before Prussia and
ustria and Russia partitioned the
old kingdom.
Now Chopin was a Polls. AID like
his distinguished fellow countrymAn
and successor, Paderewslzi, WAS deeply
patriotic, sensitive about the wrongs
his country had suffered. and revolu

Chopin remembered the Rlories OF
the old times and thought deeply MP
on the fate NJ his country he put his
musings In the form OF the old court
dance. One OF his greatest compost

Eight years ago he celebrated his

However, so great was his love Of
baseball that he continued to be in

prevented his appearance in the press

seen the baseball heroes come and go
in the Capital, and, though i'll, he

Marines Hard Pushed.
The Quantico Marines fans thank
Tony Pasquerella for a wonderful
catch at first base for their victory.
1t has been said that the Cappubs
can't play until it begins to get dark.
At any rate. Joe MuIvey's youngsters
went into the ninth inning with a 5
to score
There were two down when Shoe
maker went to the bat Driver,
pitching for the Marines, had allowed
two hits He had been retiring the
Cappubs almost in order and smiled
in contemplation of a well-deserved
victory. Driver walked Shoemaker,
and Joe Mulvey advanced threaten
ingly to the plate, cracking the first
one for clean double to left.
Shoemaker gslloLed in with a run.
Walt Hughes then smashed one to
left for a single on a line and Null
vey counted. Montague came I'D and
Driver busted of his shoulder.
There was a man on FIRST and one on
second when TweedaIe belted the
first ball pitched.
Ou Jon.
The ball was sliced toward first
Pasquerella, who had gone off the
bag with the runner, made a wild
lunge toward the bag and stabbed
the liner in his gloved hand, losing
his balance and falling with the ball
which he clutched tightly for the
third out with a sensational finish.
Pasquerella scored the first run for
his team with a double with wald-
man on in the first inning. He scored
another in the eighth wher he came
from second. while Cobb IS being
run down.
The Cappubs just fell short OF
defeating the Marines, and deserved
a bit better fate. The fact that
GLADDEN. failed to touch third in the
sixth deprived the Marines Of two
runs. The contest was well played
and the Marines showed to advantage
all the way.
