Boy Scouts of America.)
THE BOND OF SCOUTING

S. II. Marshall, an English scout Off
cial who visited this country recently,
writes as follows in an article In The
Trail, the official organ of the London
scout council:
american boy scouts are very much
as we are.
1T is a tremendous responsibility
of the Boy Scouts of America, and our
own executives to guide Alright the
thoughts, hopes and aspirations of the
youth Of these two great English
speaking nations. We must remem-
Der our colonies are part of us and
our great empire, but Americans owe
allegiance TO their own President and
government, though they speak our
tongue-surely the closest of ties 1t
Is therefore our bounden duty to take
every step we can to further the
closest relationship possible between
us. Animated by the same ideals as
we are, it should be our aim to de-
strOy all thoughts of distrust and sus-
picion between the two great nations
and encourage the hope that working
together we can really make the
world safe for democracy Among all
the American scout officials there Is
the keenest desire to learn all about
US, to study the best that is in us and |.
take 1t to ourselves. From our age
long character, from our qualities Of
and doggedness, they can
earn something, whilst we, too, from
heir buOyant enthusiasm and youth,
an help ourselves to the full. Who
,nows but what the boy scout move
nent in America will have the great.
st influence that any movement in
bat country has ever had in shaping
he destinies Of a great people, and
binding together two people hav-
lg more in common than any Other
eople in the world?"

 With the score tied the two teams battled for five innings until the last half of the twelfth. In the first half of the ninth inning Putnam missed an opportunity to score when Arthur struck out with two men on base. In the last half of the tenth inning the local boys had a good chance when with one out Kellerher hit for three bags. With Kellerher on third Wik popped out Gibson and Putnam flew out to Daley
