BASEBALL NOW

citing Sport
High School Starts Today-Others
Will Follow Suit in The Next
Few Days

Alexandria is now in the clutches
of the baseball god, who put in his APP
pearance with the warm weather.
Everybody seems to have the base
ball craze-men and women, children
and grown-ups. Teams, too many to
mention separately, are warming up
for the coming games and the faith
full fans are impatiently awaiting the
day when their favorite team shall
start the ball a rolling.
High School Begins
Upon going to press this afternoon
sounds of cheering are drifting in
from up Baggett's field way where
the High School boys are starting a
contest against the team Of Western
High School of Washington. Mayor
Duncan had promised the boys that he
would start the season by tossing out
the first ball. The local students may
not be the best i'm the world when 1t
comes 70 picking up some hot ground
ers or dragging down the long flies,
but when they get at bat if the OPP
posing hurier isn't somebody the
best thing for Mr.. Baggett to do Is
to put some heavy screens over his
windows.
Cardinals Are Here
The Cardinals, Alcxandria's pride,
under the efficient managership OF
Sylvester A. Breen, claim that they
are coming back, this season with
something that will make the fans sit
up and take notice. Exactly what this
thing is not known nor is the date
of the first contest known but the dia-
ricnd directly across the way from
Baggett's field has been cleaned up,
all the tin cans etc, have been remov-
ed and it is rumored that the mighty
DreadnaughtS will have some tall
going if they wish to retain the city
championship another season.
Gone-But Where?
Where are the Triple AS this sea-
son? That is a question often heard on
the streets. 1t seems that they have
vanished from the face of the earth
or at least from the baseball grounds
of the city. They're gone but not for
gotten.
The Youngsters
The Rosebuds, the Crystals and
many more aspiring sandlot teams of
every class are, in the afternoons and
on Sunday, teemng the various dia-
monds of the city-Baggett's field,
the High School grounds, the North
Alfred street diamonds, the Ship

Alexandria is to have an up-to-date
radio station if the plans made by
Machine Gun Company M ll6thFir-
ginia Regiment National Guard, bet
ter known as the Alexandria Light
Infantry, reach maturity. The equip
ment plans allow for large radio
receiving set and an amplifier, which
will be arranged that the message
received may be heard through
out the hall.
To raise funds for the installation
of the outfit, the local company pro-
poses to dispose of piano which it
has now. Captain Lawrence f. Gard
ner talked Of the possibilities of the
radiotelephone with the company at
the regular drill last night and the
members were enthusiastic over the
prospects.
Several armories in the State have
already been equipped with these tele-
phones and are reported to be much
pleased with the results.

Newell s. Greenaway

A word from the Board Of Directors
of the Y. NJ. c. A. regarding their
Brother NEVILLE S. Greenaway.
The announcement of the death Of
our esteemed brother Newell $
Greenaway, came to us with = great
shock, but with it came consolation.
For: He was a man of God
He walked only i'm his ways. He
knew no other way and wanted none
other. The service of God was his
supreme pleasure.
There was none other like it to him.
Whatever he conceived to be his duty.
that he performed. No temptation
could turn him from the path Of life
marked out by his conscience. And
thus he was during all his life.
From the organization of the Young
Mems Christian Association in our
city, he became interested as a mem
Der of the Board of Directors. He
faithfully performed every service as
signed to him.
His esrnestness and zeal, and eff
fectiveness was an inspiration. May
it remain with US as an example ia
Us and all who may, hereafter, JON in
this good work.
RESOLVED; /. That our deepest
sympathy is with his dear ones. May
the consolation Of his Christian life
and character soothe them in their
distress.
,. That a copy Of these resolutions
be sent to his wife, daughters and sis

financial sense, in other countries. The
financial aid of the government to de-

CINCE the first memorable day in
which you ventured forth with a
fiuttering consciousness of your won
derful capabilities, to show the old
world that it could never hope to
make permanent progress without
your help, you have, let it be said,
with due allowances, been digging,
planting, raking and watering In the
garden invisible.
And this is your garden, you very
own.
Everybody in this storm-troubled
sphere has one. so you are no excep-
tion. The sunbeams play hide and
seek. and the storms beat ut regular
intervals, as the gods will. And
strange TO say. you carry this garden
with you wherever you go.
Yours is not a coward soul, yet 1t
lacks courage to take your friends in
to this particular garden and show
them the result Of your achievements.
You are a little abashed at the nox-
ious plants that spring up In the
night. and often left standing 10

a THE approach to every danger.
u urn of a state roae is a sign
which reads:
GO SLOW.
The automobiles who, has keen
n and good brakes heeds the VAIN
ing. He gets around the turn with
out anything happening to him.
h speed maniac, or the man whose
brakes are out of order, keeps right
on Aud we usually read of or
both in h accident columns of the
newspapers, soone or later.
The road we all must take is pretty
well marked with warnings, although
1t takes experience to read some of
them.
If w have the brake called will
power, and keep 1t in trim, we have
nothing to fear from the dangerous
places.
If our judgment is bad and our will
power likely to give way we never get
where we are going, except in a very
badly damaged condition.
There is no occasion for such great
hurry that the warning signs must be
over-run.
On the road to wealth, and especial
ly the road to pleasure, the warnings
are very abundant.
Yet thousands and thousands of
people run past them every day. with
the usual disastrous results.
There Is little enough time In the
average life. We must all work rap
idly if we are TO get a good lifetime's
work accomplished in the working
years that are allotted us.
But we can always slow down at the
risky corner, provided we keep our
will power in condition, and use the
judgment that ought to be a part Of
u makeup.
The too much play" turn in the
road is more dangerous thar the 'too
much work. corner, but it is well to
slow up at both Of them.
Then the "overindulgence' and '1nte
hour spots call for almost d halt.
Read all the signs and observe them.
1t is delightful to speed along the
road and feel that we shall get where
We are going in jig time.
