Nearly 10000 rabid rooters jammed
American League Park to witness the
benefit game played annually for the
Masonic and Eastern Star Home. They
storned the entrances in such man
ner that gatemen early abandoned their
efforts to register the attendance at
the turnStileS Never before had the
home of the Nationals accommodated
such a throng. Both Of the contend
ing teams had their admirers at hand,
but every one was with Nick from
start to finish and did not hesitate 10
let that fact be known.
Nick just About Whole Show.
And Nick was just about the whole
show. Long before the opening or tEe

Nick was not to be outdone. He as

been making merry before various
sections of the stands and had them
doing squads right and column left
while the gaudily uniformed Grotto
guard performed.
But by that time the crowd wanted
playing field and Play ball" was
shouted from all corners. Nick, how
ever. had one more stunt in reserve.
When the score Of daintily clad Mar
jorie Webster dancers tripped to the
green infield, he was in his glory.
While these EtheSome devotees of
Terpsichore went through their Greek
dances your Uncle Nick capered and
swung about the sward. casting coy
glances at the maidens and posing in his
best Ted Shawn style.
Admiral Coontz Opens Game.
Nick even helped to page the
notables who were to assist in
formally opening the contest He
summoned Maj Gen. Lejeune. COM
his aide. Maj. Sheppard. and gave
the first call for Rear Admiral Coontz
and Commander Hill. When the ad-
miral tossed out the ball for the start
of the engagement, Nick was on the
receiving emil and did not fail to see
that the movie men properly recorded
the proceeding.
Then the comedian became the
pitcher and settled to work. He
easily disposed of the Grotto stick
men in the first two innings and lent
a helping hand when his side staged
q batting rally in the second session.
A run was across. three men on and
one out when Nick strode to the
plate. Emil Pfeil. a crafty amateur

veteran. but Nick connected with one

players quickly returned the ball to

Some more brisk batting netted an
other counter for the Blue Lodges in
the third. Nick was well pleased:
That's enough for me to work uner,
he chirped. "Pll have 'em standing

And for while it appeared as though
the Grotto boys would have to suffer
that indignity. When they had gone

he was ready to be relieved by Doc

that it was better to let young
