Augusta Rotarians Win
Ball Game by Score 1914

/, Amid the martial strains Of Hail.
Hail, the gangs all here" the Wor-
cester Rotarians met a IS to 4 de-
feat yesterday afternoon at the hands
Of their Augusta brothers on Reuel
Williams field before an audience of
500 Rotarians and fans. The dia-
scraped and leveled in the morning
and ''old Sol' seemed to shed his
best smile over the field in honor of
the Rotarian good fellowship.
The visitors started with - whirl-
wind of hits which Melted them two
runs in the first while the local Ro-
tarians went down under the pitch
ing Of Roberts. However, in the Sec
ond, the fans were amazed to see the
Augusta batsmen smash out a volley
Of punched, well placed hits, and at
the end Of the merry-go-round, the
score showed i've runs. Thereafter
the visitors had no show at all.
Though able to hit Gordon at will
they were not able to bunch their
hits enough to make tally until
the Sth, when a combination of hits
and errors enabled them to put two
men across, which did not help, as
their Augusta opponents had by that
time scored IA times.
The features of the game outside
of the good fellowship that prevailed
was the work of Cooley for Worces-
ter, who walloped the pill twice at
opportune times for a two-base hit
each time. Then there was the ex-
cellent work of Woodman, Bither and
Kinsman for the local Rotarians.
kinsman. though getting only one
clean single during the game, crossed
the plate at five different times.
Though Worcester shaped up far
better than their victors q few cost
ly errors at inopportune times killed
their chances of winning. Perhaps
the pure. clear atmosphere Of the
city intoxicated them, for one visit
ing Rotarian made the remark that
he did not wonder, Maine had voted
for prohibition so long ago because
the air up this way was enough to
make a fellow feel happy and care
free without the aid of John Barley
corn.
Between rounds, Governor Mill
ken, in his official capacity of UNI
pirc, announced yesterdays world Sc
ries game by innings. The endearing
terms that are generally thrown at
an umpire were not at all missing
at the game but the Governor smil-
ingly took them all in the spirit in
which they were sent.
During the game the band. lead by
Rotarian Frank A. Dennis, performed
wonders with their little music
boxes.
The proceeds from the game will
be used to found a Rotary Room in
the new wing Of the Augusta Gen.
eral hospital. About $200wa re-
ceived at the game. This gift, COM
ing as 1t does from the first New
England conclave of Rotarians to be
held in this city, will prove a most
fitting memorial for the occasion and
reminder of the highest stamina
Of the good seed of service, which
was planted here.

and Ring each gave three passes,
while the two strikeouts were cred.

considered as precluding the advan-
cling of suggestions later in the con-
frence.
The representatives Of the employ
ers at q group meeting following the
general session, decided to name a
number of experts in various lines
of industry as advisory members Of
their group.
A resolution was adopted indorsins
the policy Of the conference to hold
open sessions and admit the press. II
developed that 1t was due largely to
the efforts Of the employers that the
deliberations were opened to the
newspaper men.
Several delegates made individual
suggestions, which the group in
structed them TO draw up and sub
NIT as definite resolutions to be in
troduced in the conference by the
group chairman.
The resolution offered by Mr.. Fish
Tor the employers group follows:
Resolved. that the questions to he
considered by this conference are Of
vital importance to the people Of the
United States. individually and COL
lectively. Employers and employees
of every grade, in ali branches IF
American trade and industry, large
and small, as we'll as in the public
service, in transportation systems,
On the farms. N domestic service, in
schools and elsewhere, are primarily
concerned in the establishment and
maintenance of such relations be-
tween employer and employe as will
secure increased production, ade-
quate compensation for services rem
dered and a proper return for capital
invested and for management. More
over, each and every citizen, whether
or not employer or employe, is vital
ly interested in the maintenance nf
suitable and equitable relations in in
dustry as the basis Of social we'll be-
ing. and as a consumer in securing
that economy and efficiency Of pro-
duction and distribution which is
fundamentally necessary that the cost
of living be reduced and funds creates
adequate for proper wages, suitable
compensation for management, tn.
required return on capital invested
and provision for industrial growth.
Each member Of this conference
irrespective Of the source of his ap-
pointment, should feel that he is in a
true sense the representative Of al
people in the communicate labor Or
ganized and unorganized Of employ
ers large and small. of those who
work for salaries or whose income in
whole or part is derived from invest
ment. of those who get their living in
trade or industry or through pro-
fessional work: in fact, Of every ele-
ment Of our people. 1t may we'll be
that each member can best promote
this common interest by maintaining
fairly and honestly the views and as
pirations of those with whom he is
NOSE closely identified. but he should
always recognize the rights and
needs Of others and that it is incon-
sistent with the principles of Ameri-
can life and American institutions
that the special interests of any group
Of the people should be held para
mount to the general good"

One hundred and twenty ladies
were served a most delicious repast.
Chicken salad, hot rolls. jellies. olives.

lunch but to the ladies it was just
what they wanted.
Through the initiative Of lady

Der of plates, found their way onto
the tables where were seated the
diners. Into these plates were placed
money which was turned over to the
ladies of the church as additional
thanks besides the rising vote Of
thanks given them.
Mrs. E. c. Dudley, in behalf of
the Congregational ladies, responded
very feelingly. She said that a new

which the lady Rotarians had given
them would help great deal in
the expense.

The Best Thing Our Club Has Done
Out from this batch of unassumins
confessions Of good things done came
the keynote. the idea universal Of the
Rotary-service and what it has
brought.
Bill Strangeman Of Salem said that
in June. 1918, invitations were sent to
the fathers, mothers. wives, sweet.
hearts Of the members Of the 1o1st
Field Artillery to come and have their
pictures taken. Two thousand invita-
lions yere sent. The picture was taken
in Salem on Sunday afternoon and
1000 feet Of film were used in taking
the picture. In the picture were people
in wheel chairs, babies whose fathers
had never seen them. 1t was some time
before the picture reached the front.
Many who saw the picture in France
saw there for the last time dear ones
who had died in the meantime. The
picture was shown in Salem and the
vicinity. The picture was sent over
seas through the Y. NJ. c. A., the last
of September. The censor reached It in
October The minute the censor saw
the picture he got cameramen to op-
crate and guards to take the picture
to the front lines.
The picture was shown on the front
lines the day before the armistice was
signed. The picture was hitched to the
rear Of gun. The light from the pic
tore had to be shaded in order that II
might not be detected by the enemy.
