FLAG RAISING
With BALL GAME
Charlestown Has Gala Day
With Opening of Dia-
mond Season
JOHN F. MALLOY
DELIVERS GRAFTON

Wilmingtonians took a prominent
part in the fiag-raising at Charles
town, Md, Saturday afternoon. The
day also saw the opening home game
of the season for the Charlestown
team in the Cecil County League. A
large colony of Wilmingtonians
spend the summer at Charlestown
and these Delawareans displayed
much interest in the success of the
affair.
Attorney General Townsend was
on the committee of arrangements.
John F. Malloy, former assistant
city solicitor. spoke on "Our Flag"
and Harris Samonisky spoke on
"Clean Sport" DR.. ]. H. Wilson.
pastor of the Charlestown NJ. E
Church. opened the affair with
prayer. w. P. Morrison, a former
Wilmingtonian, who is mayor of
Charlestown and manager of the
baseball team, presided over the
celebration.
In his address on "Our Flag" Mr..
Malloy said in part: 1T cannot be
emphasized too strongly how fitting
and proper. right and just II is that
the raising of our flag should al
ways be accompanied by some ser
vice that will show the respect, the
honor the love and veneration that
the sight of 1t inspires in the breast
of every American" The speaker
also declared that the contests of
peace are as strenuous as the con-
hicts of war. He said the liberties
of a people are preserved only by
constant vigilance and that the ma
ton is to guard them during this,
the most critical time in history.
Harris Samonisky, in speaking on
Clean Sport" traced the interest in
the national pastime and sad that
FOR the game to continue successfully
In the future, the players must do
everything they can to keep the sport
clean. The spectators have a right
% see a clean game, the speaker
said, and It is the duty of the play
srs to supply this. The people were
called upon to support their home
cam. not only by attending games
1ut financially.
