HARDING UNVEILS
MONUMENT TO
SIMON BOLIVAR

NEW YORK, April 19.-President
Harding. speaking at the unwilling
Of the Bolivar statue, said in part:
Fellow Citizens Of america: There
h significance in dates, as though
some days were destined for high
place in the history Of human pro-
gress. also an abiding place in HUI
man affections. This day is the an
niversary Of the Battle of Lexington,
when the colonies of North America
made first their sacrifice in blood
for independence and new standards
Of freedom. On this same day, a
generation later, venexuela's strug-
gle for freedom had its immortal
beginning.
Warrington Of South America.
Today, In betting celebration Of
freedoms triumphs, we are met to
unveil this monument to Simon
Bolivar. in whom the South Ameri-
can movement for liberty found tt
soul and Inspiration, and to whom
the liberty loving heroes Of Ven
esuela turned for triumphant lead
srship Just a. the North American
colonies pinned their faith in Wash
ington.
Having sacrificed in arms to es-
tablish the human inheritance be-
1eaenne 70 free men, the American
republics may well touch elbows TO
prove their unselhshness and show
to mankind that righteous achieve
ment does not mean anybody's de-
struction.
II - IN interesting thing to COM
pare the careers OF the two great
fathers Of American history-these
stalwart founders Of representative
democracy In the Western hemi-
aphsre Bolivar and Washington.
Each wrought an empire OF freedom
ana builded more vastly than he
dreamed. Each was brilliant and
heroic In war but vastly more con-
eeFned with the constructiveness Of
peace.
It II not too much to say that out
Of the deliberations wrought BY
Warrington and Bolivar grew the re-
publican constitutional system with
Americas gift to mankind. Our
constitutions are the models after
which are fashioned the fundamental
lawn of world to democracy.

LEAGUE BATTING
CROWN PROMISES
HOT STRUGGLE
Interesting as Pennant Race With
Young George Sislcr Strong
Contender for Top
BY HENRY l.. FARRELL.


NEW YORK, April 20.-Struggle
for the league batting crown prom
ises to be as interesting this year
as the hot pennant race in prospect.
Joe Jackson, of course, will be
missing from the list of contenders,
but the sticks Of George Sisler, Iris
Speaker, Eddie Collins, Babe Ruth,
BABY Doll' Jacobson and Ty Cobb
will make enough noise.
Sisler Is Favorite.
Just in his prime, the versatile
young Sisler can be counted as the
favorite, but he will have some stiff
opposition.
iris Speaker, who chased the
Brown first baseman all the way last
season under the handicap of heavy
managerial responsibilities, can be
expected to do the same thing this
year. Then there is the ever dan
gerous and always able Ty Cobb who
will try to emulate Speaker in maxi
ing good on two jobs.
Cobb Sips Glory Cup.
Cobb has slipped from the cup Of
glory too long to sit back contented
and watch someone else usurp mis-
old honors.
Having done about everything
possible in the way Of home runs,
Babe Ruth is also known to have an
ambition for the league leadership
with the stick. II the bambino would
take the murder out of his swing,
1t is highly probable that he would
be good for around .400-an ex-
ceedingly dangerous height for any
sticker to go against.

 Fhs work of decorating the interior Of St Mary's Roman Catholic church in this city has been started by New ark V. J.. firm. On account of the na= tltre of the work. which demands much scaffolding that has to be continually moved about and because of the care taken in the execution of the painting, the work Is not expected to be completed before the first of the year. According to the foreman in charge of the work, M Frank St. Lawrence, when the dee- orations are completed there will not be a haRdsomer church in the entire Hartford diocese. The work at present is confined othe sanctuary where scroll work and painting of the walls is in pro- gress. A carload of lumber is being used in scaffeld work. Instead of as in former days when sacred designs and hgurss were painted on the plaster it. self. the painting is to be done in oil on canvas and then applied to the walls and ceiling. This prevents the figure fram being destroyed in the event of 8 leaky roof When the work is cemplet- ad there will be a formal dedication. St, Msry's church was built seventeen years ago. The cornerstone was laid Aug. 23 1908, and the edifce was completed in January of the following year.
 The contracting firm doing the work has in it's employ men who are grad sates of the leading art schools and TE F1- ,tT-on n&e all over the United States. In this state work has been done on St. Mary's cbsreh in Putnam and in St. James church, Banielson.
