ST.. PETERS CHAINS.
-NeWm0n.

On the first day of August the
Church celebrated a festival in honor
Of the chains that bound the Prince
of the Apostles. The origin Of this
feast is lost in the darkness of the
ages. According TO the Martyrology
of Jerusalem, st. Peter himself first
consecrated on this date the pbasilica
on the highest of the Seven Hills,
The venerable church is often called
by the title OF EudoXia, which seems
to have arisen from certain restora.
tlons which were made on the occa.
sion OF the transferring of the Chains
Of st. Peter to- that basilica.
While the story of the Chains OF
st. Peter is largely legendary, it has
the value of venerable antiquity. The
story, tells us that during the reign Of
Theodosius the younger. EudoXia, his
wife, went to Jerusalem to fuldll q
vow. While there she was honored
with many gifts, among them being
an iron chain which was adorned Will
gold and precious stones and said tc
be the very chain wherewith st. Peter
had been hound by Herod. The En-
press piously venerated this chain anC
sent, it to Romo to her daughter, Eu
doxia. The young Princess took it tt
tho Sovereign Pontif, who showed hel
another chain with which st. Peter
had been bound under the Emperor
Nero. No sooner did the Pontiff bring
together The two chains, the Roman
and the n which was brought from
Jerusalem, than the two bound to
gether TO make. a. single chain. On &C
count Of this miracle tho holy chaing
were held in great honor, cAarel

LIBERTY BOND DRIVE
P0STPONES BIG MEET

At the earnest solicitation Of John
Poole, president OF the Federal Ma
tional Bank. and chairman Of the
District liberty loan committee. Of
ficials of the District war camp
community service have decided to
repostpone their United Service
meet to May IL
The meet was 20 have been held
TO-DAY, but the condition uf the
ground at Central High School
stadium. where the affair was to
have been held. was not satisfac-
tory TO the principal OF the school.
and IL was postponed to May 4. The
latest postpOnement is due TO the
fact that the drive Of the third lib
erty loan ends on May (. and Off
cials OF the District liberty loan
committee believe IL will interfere
with plans they have made for .
monster celebration to he held in
Washington on the closing day OF
the drive.
Open air speeches. and possibly q
parade, will be held by the District
liberty loan committee. and the
withdrawal OF the 5000 people an
ticipated to attend the United Scrv-
ice meet would mean a net loss 20
the success OF the liberty loan here.
1t is believed.
Notwithstanding the necessity OF
the twin pOstponement. officials Of
the District war camp community
service are going right along with
their preparations for the meet, and
from all indications the affair will
be the largest track meet ever held
in this part of the country.

reach OF Jameson and Burns, that
spelt defeat for the Sphinx pilot
and his Sunderland crew.
Even In the face Of the Nationals
registering this second victory,
these Mackmen lived up to all gooo
predictions. They started in the
first inning with a treat that made
the Hillsville moundman do his best,
as after Kopp popped out, Jamie
son drew a base on balls. Gardiner
lifted to right. but Burns slid one
past Foster that went for two bases.
Walker grounded to Judge, and
Ayers issued a sigh of relief. Shan
non started the next inning with a
bust to center and advanced on Du-
gan's sacrifice. but McEvoy and
Gregg were not able to place him
across the plate.
A sprinkle of hits were dropped
upon Ayers delivery until the eighth
inning, when the White Elephant
crew made a real bid for this goose
egg contest. Gregg was given life by
the way of Morgan's schoolboy boot.
Kopp followed with an infield hit,
which was intended for a sacrifice,
and then the local sawbones became
a trifie generous and Jammed the
bags with a pass to Jameson.
1t was at this point Of the game
that Howard Shanks proved his
worth as a defensive player. as Gar
diner. the next batter. clouted long
fly to left field, under which Shanks
camped. Gregg attempted to score
and Howard made a beautiful peg tc
the plate. which was intercepted by
DR.. Lavan, and on a short relay to
Ainsmith retired the lanky southpaW
as he slid in. 1t was one Of the
greatest executed double-plays ever
witnessed on the local ball lot, as
Gregg was digging all the way from
the bag and it was only the sure
whips Of Shanks. Lavan and Com
pany that saved the day.
The Washington herald., 1918-04-20

FROM every point OF view yeStef-
days battle was the best game stag
ed at the Florida avenue bailiwick
to date. Grifr's hitless wonders were
unable to solve the delivery of one
Vean Gregg. who attempted his sec
ond comeback in the big show. Poor
Vean. it is sure tough going for
this veteran to be compelled to face
the sting of defeat, as during this
game only three safe clouts were OBJ
tanned of his slants during nine in
nings of mound duties.
One stingy base blow of the bat
of Bert Shotton in the fourth in
ming was the only real clout OBJ
tanned off his delivery. until the last
half OF the ninth. when this young
Shannon OF Mack's tribe helped the
Nationals with a clean-cut boot that
paved the way for the locals VIC
tory. Opposed to Vean was Doc
Ayers. Although touched for eight
hits in as many successive innings,
Doc managed to go by without be-
ing scored upon and II Is thanks to
the bat of Howard Shanks that he
recorded UP his first victory OF the
season.
In this rally in the ninth Bert Shot
ton pulled another clean drive. which
were the only ones registered off the
delivery Of Mack's veteran southpaw
as the pinch punch credited for Shanks
was a Texas Lacquer just back of first
base and out of the reach of both
George Burns and Jimmy Jameson.
A few gray hairs should be added to
Vean Gregg's head this morning, as
during six innings OF the nine he faced
the Griffmen he set them back in the
one-two-three order. and it was only
in the ninth that the Nationals pro-
duced a scoring punch that set back
the Sunderland visitors.
Not until the third did a National
player reach first base, this being La
van, who was given life by Burns
error, but his existence was short, as
Ainsmith hit into a double play. Shot
ton started the fourth with his first
clean blow. but through good infield
work he was forced out by Foster
who was in turn forced by Milan at
the second sack.
In the sixth the local fans were given
plenty of opportunity to crab Umpire
Dick Nallin. as Eddie Ainsmith start.

over the third sack. Dicks eyes were
sure not cast in this direction, as HI
ruled the ball foul and Eddie's efforts
went all for naught. Capt. George Nc,
Bride differed with Nallin's decision t
such an extent that he was ruled OF
the coaching line. Nallin giving oul

Ayers drew the only free transpor

southpaw's slants during the even

but "Fatima's" effort was only
short pop to Jameson. Shannon
then helped Griffs clan over tn

Both horses are excellent racing

from l5o to 200 pounds more than

wish to see, and he is beginning to

ready to make a Screditable showing
in the Preakness.

be put at fencing. He is a fine
jumping type.
Maj. Parr expects to see his horses
race this spring. That privilege was
denied him last fall because he was
in the West pretty much all the
time. Maj. Parr has been transfer
red to Camp Meade. He has no 9
year-olds for this seasons racing,
because his military duties prevented
him from attending the yearIing
sales last summer and fall. But
Mr.. Garth has instructions TO buy
anything in, the 2-year-old line he
considers worth while.
