Franklin TRIBUTE
PAID BY SCIENCE.
International Gathering at
Philadelphia Observes Gen.

BY the Associated Press.


PHILADELPHIA, Setember IL
Noted scientists from all parts OF
the world were here today to par
ticipatc in the celebration OF the
Tooth anniversary OF the rounding
of the Franklin Institute and the
inaugural exercises of the Bartol Re-
search Foundation. The delegates
represent 100 universities and col
leges and a6 scientific and profess
sional societies. They came from
many foreign countries. including
England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland.
Canada, Australia. Spain. South
Africa, Jamaica, India, Germany.
Italy, France, Holland, Denmark,
Sweden. Norway, Japan and South
America.
Forty-three speakers are on the
program for addresses during the
three-day celebration and their sub
jects cover nearly every field of
science.
On Friday tablet will be unveiled
at Bartol Research Foundation
marking the beginning of research
work made possible by a bequest of
more than sl,20O,O0O from Henry w.
Bartol
The gathering OF world scientists
will pay tribute to an organization
that has had a profound influence on
science in all its phases. The Franklin
Institute was founded. not by Benja-
min Franklin, as is commonly sup
posed, but in his memory. Inspired
by the success of F'ranklin'S junto,
Samuel Vaughn Merrick, young
Philadelphian, who not yet 81, dream
ed of an American institute for pro-
noting knowledge of physical science
and it's diffusion in arts and indus
tries" After meeting with many re-
bluffs he and Prof. William II. Keat-
ing of the University of Pennsylvania,
called preliminary meeting. which
was attended by only six citizens.
With these men as nucleus, they
organized mass meeting, which was
held in the old county court house
on February ), 1894 and out of which
grew the Franklin Institute.
Among the early founders were:
Matthias w. Baldwin. who was yet to
build his first locomotive: James
Ronaldson, type founder; William
Strickland, architect; Col. Clement G.
Biddle and John Price Whetherill, a
manufacturer.

GETS -FOUR
STRAIGHT
Bucky Harris and His Khan
Home Today With Good
Lead on League
BY FORD G. FRICK.

NEW YORK, June 26.-Bucky
Harris and his hustling Griffmen
are home today; home in the realiza.
ton of q long dream come true.
Home, in first, place ahead Of the
Yanka and the Tigers, first place
the first time In yeare that any
Washington club has occupied so
exalted position at this time in
the season, first place and earned
by the prowess of an offenss and
the impregnability Of a defense that
never faltered.
The Griffs won again yesterday,
won their fourth straight game from
the champion Yankees, won back
Of the pitching Of Big Fred Mar
berry, raw boned and sturdy, who
pitched like a master. In the first
inning, Fred slipped for a moment.
Four lethal swats, one OF them, q
Gargantuan homer off the bat of
the only Babe, gave the Yanks two
runs in that frame. After that
they were helpless.
Inning after inning Fred kept
going through the strain Of a close
battle, hampered by darkness that
descended like a blanket TO sweep
the field into the shadows Of dusk
that was almost impenetrable and
resulted in the game being called
at the end Of the seventh.
Joe Bush, pitching for the
Yankees, was almost as good, but
not quite: and that little difference
was disastrous. for the Griffs were
on their toes, battling every min
ute, playing for high stakes and
winning, and the Yankees. sur
feited with honors and old in the
ways Of pennant fights, were
Iethargic by comparison.
It has been a long time since a
Washington team was able to take
four straight from the Yankees,
but it has been a long time since
Washington club has shown the
SAINT pep, the same enthusiasm. the
same fighting spirit that Bucky
Harris has instilled = into the men
who now fight under the Griffith
colors.
These boys play ball. They hii
| well. They run the bases with
speed and judgment. They field
| sensationally and they are backed
by pitching that stands up. Fred
Marberry was a hero yesterday, fol
It was his turn, but the thing he
did was only a duplication Of the
things Mogridge and Russell and
Zachary did before him. The

Yes, They Can win.

IVES, the Griffs can win the
pennant this season.
Any team that plays to-
gether day in and day out, never
quits trying, has reserve strength
to aid when sickness and injury
comes along, has no unusually
long streaks of bad luck and
HAS THE BACKING OF IT'S
FANS can win this pennant or
any other pennant.
Despite the columns in praise
of the Yankees, there is nothing
god-like about them.
There is mighty little actual
difference in class between the
winner and the tail-ender in the
American League, but it has gen.
orally been just that little diff
ference that decided the cham
plonship over a six-month cam
paign.
The Griffs staggered a bit as
the season got underway, re-
covered and began a great battle
to reach the top. They have done
their part. NOW, LET THE
FANS DO THEIRS! (
Get in back of the Griffs! Roar
with them when they win. Stay
with 'em just as long as there is
a bare chance of winning. En-
courage them when things &c
wrong, as they must now and then.

DAYTON, Ohio, June 26.-Our

first and second victories when Earl

Of $50, and the Washington delega-
ton won the Harding cup with a

OF course, we were all glad that

seems on the way now to some

Bin Mcclure shot a 155 and I
got a 1853, both Of US getting into
the championship play without any
undue trouble. Johnny Shorey had
neat 1862 to qualify himself. All
the others from Washington played
in continual hard luck and could
not make the grade.
OF these, Charles Agnew and Bob
Brown were the main losers. Both
came here with excellent chances,
and then found themselves unable
to get going. Page Hufty also
found the traps and bunkers too
friendly to his drives to do him any
good.
Agnew had two SS's, giving him
1865, which was just below the quail
flying score. He will play in the
consolation play, and his chances
OF winning that are excellent.
Now that we have won the Hard
ing Cup, the four Of us are fully
determined that one of US is going
to be in on the semifinals. In
Shorey, McAleer, Mcclure and my

can they?
Come to think of it, the con-
nection between the baseball play
err and the baseball writer has
much to do with the making of
"stars." So much publicity has
been showered upon both New
York clubs for such a long time
that even some of the players be-
lieve what has been written OF
them. If you keep on reading
every day that Jones is a "great
player" you're going to believe
it. That is why business men ad.
vertise. They keep their product
in front of the prospective buyer
and the biggest advertisers usually
have the biggest business.
Let the Griffmen remain In
