Hick was thrown out Donahue to
j. Schell. This ended the locals
scoring for the remainder of the
game. Although they had men on
the runways in most every inning
played thereafter.
The opening of the third frame,
the visitors by getting two men
passed on balls, that was followed
by a base hit, one more score is
added to their credit. In the
locals turn at bat they made things
quite interesting for the visitors
but with some very fast field work
they we're able to pull their pitcher
out of very difficult hole.
Well started the trouble by
clouting out a safe hit. Burn
draws pass on balls. Eros hits
a grounder to Mcpherson, who on
a felder's choice throws out Well
at third. Jam drives one out to
center field that Berg could not
get and Burn tries to score from
second base on the hit but is
thrown out Berg to Cayou to
Huelsmann. Hick went out on a
long drive to center field. Berg,
however, was able to get under
this one. completing the third out.
In the fourth chapter, Berg the
first man up hit a scorching liner
through the pitchers box for q
safe hit. He stole second and was

Berg sent a hard smash through the box
game and before the side was re-
tired they had two counts to their
credit. Peulen who started the
game for the visitors, got on the
runway by very close decision.
He stole second and was advanced
to third on Fros' heave of the
ball over first base. Donahue went
out on a foul fly to Hick. Nc

The locals in their half got
busy and tried to even up the
count but their efforts were all in
vain for when the side were re-
tired only one man had completed
the circuit. Burn led off by get
ting free transportation on balls
and a moment later he stole second
base. Eros struck out. Jam got
a hit advancing Burn to third.
With a runner on third jam lopes
off for second and catcher Huels-
mann, taking a chance, delivered
the ball to second which went wild
to center field. allowing Burn to
toot home. Jam over ran second
base when the ball went wild and
Berg who recovered the ball was
able to throw out jam at second
before he returned to the bag.

The spacious armament on high,
With all the blue ethereal sky,
And spangled heave1s, a shining frame,
Their great original proclaim.
Th' unweary'd sun, from day to day,
Does his Creators power display:
And publishes, to every land,
The work of an Almighty hand.
Soon as the evening shades prevail,
The moon takes up tae wondrous tale,
And nightly to the listening earth
Repeats the story of her birth;
Whilst all the stars that round her burn,
And all the planets. in their turn.
Confirm the tidings as they roll,
And spread the truth from pole to pole
What though in solemn silence all
Move round the dark terrestrial ball;
What though nor real voice nor sound
Amid their radiant orbs be founds
In reasons ear they all rejoice.
And utter forth glorious voice;
For ever singing, as they shine,
The hand that made us is divine.

OOD Americans are made
very slowly among our
foreign element on vague


HYS&SgA very slowly among our
BR1&YA foreign element on vague
e&ZD theories about their
duties as citizens, for most of them
are not prepared to receive the in
struction. A new method of
Americanization has been hit upon
by the Tompkins Square unit of
the New York War Camp Com
munity Service, which is to bring
them into contact with what is
in this country. leaving them to
acquire it's customs and ideas in
their own way" DR.. F. V. de
Porte, the director of the unit, has
put this scheme into practice. and
being of foreign birth himself, he
knows better than the native-born
what the needs of these people are.
Tompkins Square is on the lower
East side, where in it's neighbor-
hood live 100000 Slavs and
Italians. exhibiting every phase of
life from the sweat-shop worker to
the prize fighter. Life there. says
a writer in the New York Times.
is unbelievably hard. and the peo-
pie know about as much of the
country of their adoption as the
two whose cases are presented
here:
''One Italian woman, visiting a
settlement house, expressed her
surprise at seeing floral decora-
tions, and wanted to know how
flowers could be brought from
Italy while there was a war going
on. Since the time she landed she
had seen nothing of America but
rows of swarming tenements, and
she did not know that flowers grew
here. Then there was an army
man from the same district. A
book had been loaned to him by
the American Library association.
His letter of thanks ended with:
Wouldn't it be fine if there was a
place back home where a fellow
could get books like these to read!'
And this soldier had lived on the
East side all his life within two
blocks of a public library!"
The Tompkins unit is not en-
rolling these people in American
ization" classes, or ''endeavoring
to change their ideas by telling
them that this is q great and won
derful country" but it is simply
getting them to come to the club
house and then letting them work
it out in their own way.
To-day the gangs that used to
hang out on the street corners and
in the back rooms of saloons in the
neighborhood have transferred
their headquarters to the club
house.
First came a pioneer group
taking chance They found it
pleasant. Quickly the good word
was passed around that there was
no bitter pill here under the sugar
coating of baseball and dances
no string. in other words, to the
advantages offered. After that
the unit had easy sailing.
There are now eight of these
block clubs meeting there every
week. They elect their own Off
GERS, harangue about anything
they please, and plan their own
activities. Nothing is undertaken
at Tompkins Square unit that is
not suggested and asked for by the
men themselves. Not once has the
word 'Americanization' been al
lowed to intrude itself, yet they
have mapped out a fall program
more ambitious than the most en-
thusiastic Americanization fan
would have dreamed of proposing
for them. Included are classes in
English and mathematics, instruc-
tion in painting, proposals for the
improvement of sanitary condi-
tions in the district, lectures on
music, drama, and literature, be-

= What it Means
to be An Elk .

The order of Elks, a patriotic
order of American citizenship,
ractising benevolence and broth
|erhood, obligated to the protec-
ton Of the home and all it's ties,
teaching honest action and right
living. It has accomplished
seeming miracles through a spi-
rit grasped by it that has here
tofore eluded every other order.
The order has strangely succeed
ed in living life joyfully. It has
associated doing good, with feel
ing good, it has cemented the
heretofore austere virtues with
good fellowship and has made of
each Elks Home a place in which
to live and enjoy, as we'll as a
temple in which to worship. A
member Of the order can find
a home in every city in the
United States Of America, and
a welcome wherever he may
chance to 60. He can find
friends ready to help him should
he be in distress, or to start him
out right, should he be travelling
in a wrong way. Members Of
the order are present in every
community, on all trains, on the
highways, and in all public
places. It is a wonderful thing
to be able to present your card
showing yourself a member in
good standing Of the Benevolent
and Protective Order of Elks of
the United States of America.
