M. S.P. LOSES OPENING GAME
Saltwater Majestics Garry OFF Honors to 2, Although
Locals Put Up Good Game

speed, and before the season closes he will
no doubt, pull down many victories for
himself. He seems to have batting eye
as well as throwing arm. He struck out
seven men, passed two on balls and hit
three batsman. Out of three times to bat
he got one single and one two-bagger.
Wells, one of our last years veterans,
pitched two innings. Three safe singles
and one score was made off him during
that period.
Bur, who is new recruit and was anxious
to show his ability on the pitching stuff,
was allowed to go in the box the ninth in
ming. He struckout one man and allowed
one hit although no scores were made off
him. We expect to see more of his work
in the future.
Bud, who is new recruit and will do the
back stop work for the locals, promises to
give them ample support in that position.
Eros, who is another new recruit was
stationed at shortstop. He did good work
in Saturdays contest, and with little
practice in that position he will no doubt
be able to produce all that is expected of
him.
The visitors showed all evidences of hav-
ing spfing practice and playing together
before coming here.
Cayou and Rutherford, Jr., did the bat
terry work for the opponents and their work
was of the semi-proffesional class. Ruther-
ford's S pegging arm is good and his batting
eye seldom fails him, while at his backstop
work he has no trouble at all in pulling them
down out of the air or scooping them up
out of the dirt. Cayou's work was good.
He allowed seven hits, passed two on balls
and hit one batsman. He struck out
twelve men.

The Men We Need

God give US men! A time like this de-
mands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and
willing hands;
Men whom the lust of Office does not
kill;
Men whom the spoils of Office can not
buy;
Men who have honor; men who will not
lie;
Men who can stand before demagogue
And dam his treacherous batteries without
winking,
Tall men gun crowned, who live above
the fog
In public duty and in private thinking.

Baseball in our silent city has at last
awakened from it's long winters sleep.
For several months there has been much
speculation among the local fans whether
or not this silent city would be able to put
in the field pennant-winning team. Dur
ing the winter months several of the old
reliable players have gone to the outside
world. However, during this same period
our local manager has been busy, and
Judging from the new recruits he. had in
uniform last Saturday, there will be ample
material to choose from to put winning
team in the race.
The locals opened the season last Satur-
day by crossing bats with the Saltwater
Majestics. The game was won by the
visitors, 6 to Q. The locals put up good
battle and numerous were the fast plays
staged by them, and again there was some
exceedingly loose playing, which was
largely responsible for the loss of the game.
Saturday being the first time the locals
have had for a workout" in their re-
spective positions, they. were very much
handicapped, for the reason that they have
had no practice at all this spring. 1t is
anticipated that in the future they will get
daily practice. By so doing they will be
able to make an excellent showing.
The new recruits who wore the locals
uniform and played in Saturdays game
made very impressive showing. At the
present outlook, the material that is as
signed to our local ball team promises to
be superior to any that has as yet been Or
ganized here. That practically means that
the locals will be able to hold their own
with any of the semi professional teams of
the state.
In Saturdays contest the locals figured
in the score column in the first frame.
Brad drew pass on balls and promptly
stole second. He then scored on Burn s
two-bagger. From then until the sixth
inning the locals were held scoreless; but
Brad, being the first man up in the sixth,
landed on one for two-bagger. A mo-
ment later he scored when L. Hillsman
fumbled Burns grounder. Burn was
forced out at third station. Lohr popped
up foul fly to Mcpherson and Gil famed
the air, thus retiring the side and ending
the scoring for the locals.
Gil and Brad pulled off an exceptionally
fast play in the fourth. Berg. the first
man up, got on safely by an error, was ad-
vanced to third on Rutherford's hit, then
Cayou drove out long fly to center field
and Gil, who was stationed there, prompt
ly took care of it. Berg, who was on
third base, tried to beat the ball to home
plate. Gil, knowing the base runner's in
tention, relayed the ball to Brad, and he
in turn shot it to home plate with light
ming speed and accuracy. The play was
perfect, but in some manner the catcher
ball after he had tagged the
runner several feet from home plate, thus
the runner to be called safe.
John, who is new recruit, worked upon
the mound for six innings, did exception
ally good work in that position. His
delivery is good but in Saturdays contest
he did not have accurate control of his
curves, due, no doubt, to the lack of prac-
tice. He seems to have an abundance of

It Isn't the Town-It's You

If you want,to live in the kind of town
Like the kind of town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in grip.
And start on long, long hike.
You'll only find what you left behind,
For there's nothing that's really new,
It's knock at yourself when you knock
your town;
1t isn't the town-it's you.
Real towns are not made by men afraid
Lest somebody else gets ahead,
When everyone works and nobody shirks,
You can raise town from the dead.
And if you will make your personal stake,
Your neighbors can make one, too;
Your town will be what you want to
see,
1t isn't the town-it's you.

My Brother

Somewhere in France)
Not of earth's flowers thy chaplet entwine;
Nor need hast thou of laurels or of
bays
Mems neager need Of praise
To those who touched Fame's far-off peaks
and shine
Thou truest knight in these unknight-
ly days,
Fall'n bravely On the shell-swept,
flaming fields,
Where each swift breath its fiery challenge
filings;
For that imperishable JOY is thine
To live in hearts ennobled by thy
ways,
And with rewarded sword and rested shield
To wear the honors of the life di-
vine,
In the high presence of the King of
kings.
Forth from Loves fame of fadeless pearl
and gold,
The lasting shrine of all things good
and pure,
Mailed in white might, and valiant
to endure,
Have come all dauntless spirits from of old,
Who, armed and spurred,
Close conflict with the scaly evil
seek,
And in fell fight no pallid ~averings show:
But crown with ringing deed theil
splendid word,
From shafts of night to shield the
easy weak,
And all the struggle of great life to know.
Of these vast thou,
Though lured by life thy lesser self
to please;
Thine was the courtly VOW
To live by conquest, scorning loveless ease;
And quenching in thyself those sim
uous fires
Whose subtle fangs bring needless
myriads down,
Complacent to the day and its desires,
Who see no kingship in the thorny
crown.
But thine the rich faith in the van
quished grave
And opened portals of the singing sky;
So thine the strong heart of the ready
brave,
Uplifting others to life's purpose
high.
And now TO those far fields,
From evil guarded by immortal
shields
And swords that smite with swiftness
of the stars,
On wings of seraph is thy spirit borne;
Beyond this little mist of breath that
All heavenly splendors of the night
and morn,
And burning glory of earth's brightest day;
And we who mid mems shrinking
kindness stay,
Calm in the confidence that thou art
To the white warder of the deathless sphere,
Hear as we pass the gate thy seraph
say:
"Not he of those
Who would the snowy eminences find
That loom conspicuous unto little
eyes;
His was the mighty conquest to be
kind,
And kingly manhood calmly to disclose
In majesty of high self-sacrifce.

BOY HIS OWN DETECTIVE
Pennsylvania Lad Shows That no
Needs No Help From the City
Police Force.

Chester, Pa.-Rhoades Head, 10, o.
1aO2 Price Place, has the distinction
OF being the best juvenile detective In
the state. A few days ago he left his
bicycle in front of a barber shop while
he was getting his hair cut.
When he came out his wheel had
disappeared and he notified the police.
He also started to do some detective
work himself. He learned that two
boys had torn apart o wheel and IA
thrown the frame into an old quarry
hole where the wheel was taken. The
lad fished 1t out and foun,l 1t was the
frame Of his wheel. In the meantime
the boys had thken the good parts OF
Heald's wheel and attached them TO
an old frame. Young Head learned
this and the boys promised to pay
him SIS rather than be arrested.
The police called off matters ow'
ing to the age and responsibility OF
the boys under promise that in the fu'
ture they win not tamper with othe'
peoples property.

PUT PROFITS INTO DIAMONDS
MANY Reasons Why Increased Demand
for Precious Stones Invariably
Follows Devastating War.

The waste of war, by which many
suffer and few reap returns, is always
accompanied by a demand for precious
stones. This war has differed only
from other wars in that the demand
was greater. Proiteers In the allied
countries have bought for the purpose
Of display. Profiteers In enemy coun-
tries want diamonds, because they sup
ply the safest way Of c%oncealing new
ly acquired wealth. AS the diamond
industry is the closest corporation IN
the world, values are not likely to De
preciate, unless all the profteers want
to change their investments at the
same time. At the present moment
the price is higher than it has ever
been.
The diamond dealer is Of all trad
ers the least hampered by office re-
strictions. He frequently carries the
hulk of his stock In trade about with
him in his waistcoat pocket. The pub
lie street is, as often as not, his only
market place. In Haton gardens
which is the chief center of the dia
mond industry in London, may FIRE
nuentlv be seer little groups of two
three, or more we1l-dressed men, peer
ing intently through little monocl'
lenses at gems worth many thousand
of dollars.

HAS THREE CLAIMS TO FAME
Japanese Town of Nagoya Offers
Treble Attraction to the Tourist
in That Country

Some Japanese towns rely upon a
single temple or palace for fame.
Nagoya takes no such risk OF being
overlooked. 1t possesses a feudal cas-
tie of which the citizens are inordi-
nately proud, a temple containing a
remarkably statuary collection, and Il
porcelain factory famous throughout
the world. 4
Except for the porcelain connols-
seur, visitors to Nagoya rush to view
the castle. Il they are sufficiently dis
tinguished, or can mention casually
enough names of important people,
the interior Of the castle is at their
disposal. Otherwise they must con-
tent themselves with gazing at the
two golden dolphins or goldhsh-the
anatomy is a bit vague-that sur
mount the castle roof, and studying
the Japanese mastery Of curved lines
as lavishly displayed in the castles
tiers of draped gables.
The dolphins are gold-plated and are
30 valuable that they have been In
cased in wire netting, which is sup
posed to protect them against beln:
stolen. It seems unlikely that an!
thief would be SO ambitious as Y
think of stealing either of the ponder
Gus. glittering objects which would b
as difficult to conceal as the celebrates
white elephont. Yet Japanese ira
dition says that once upon a time a

did attempt to catch n of the pre-
cious golden fish by way Of a kite. A

perfidy was discovered and he wa

Margaret also bought a dress and

ones for So and corsets for $40, and
