Seven times in the National Leaeus
and twice in the American, including
the latest New York triuTnphs, clubs
have gathered three victories in

Western took advantage of Tew's

instructed his charges to take their
own good time at the bat.
Both teams played in top form in
the first two innings, but 1t soon
was apparent that Tew was losing

McGahey. who made his hurling
debut for Western, is apt to develop
into one of the best fast ball box
man in the high schools. Tech was
able to garner only three blows off
his slants. He was master through
out and heaved in veteran style.
Tech scored its first run in the
sixth when April strolled, stole sec

Cormick's bingle.
After Western pushed over two
other runs in the fourth and sixth
sessions, it opened a bunting barrage
that netted another pair of tallies
in the eighth.

last stand in the ninth, but were
unable to obtain but one run. April

Both teams played raggedly in

won the battle by taking advantage

THE DAY OF THE IRIS

into the riot Of color within the
garden in mid-June where the tn
lips as yet have scarcely ceased
firing their flaming salvos, have
marched with orderly battalfons
Of the iris. From silver white to
intensest purple, from palest yell
low to seal brown and bronze and
orange-tawny, they stand there at
attention. Though stately in bear
ing and Amazonian in stature,
they are in truth all mafdenly,
their martial air being a mere pre-
tense. OF royalif not Of divine,
lineage they wear their colors as
becomingly as brayeIy.
It is for good reason that coun-
try folk named them flags and
that the fleur de-lis wassthe regal
flower of old France. Yet they
have the lightness and gracious
ness Of that golden-winged Iris,
the messenger of the gods, daugh-
ter Of Electra the sea nymph.
Theirs is a stateliness that invites
and not repels, as the plund6ring
bee knows.
Mr.. Burdett tells the readers Of
The Daily News that there are 100
known varieties of the iris. And
those who study June gardens will
readily believe that this tall and
graceful flower is Of a vast IA
mily, all the members Of which
are beautiful Whether they be
of such distinguished quality as
those especially named by Mr.. Bur-
dett the Ambigu glowing like
polished bronco" the Seminole
of a clear claret color; the Pros
pero, the BalIerine and bewitch-
ing dozens besides they are today
the reigning beauties of the gar
den.
Those who delight in feasts Of
color should not miss the velvet
aplendors of the Iris Chicago
