How They Stand +:
MAKING THE FLAG KNOWN

More that 10000 people assembled
at the Greek theater in the Denver
civic center Wedn esday evening To
participate in the Flag day exercises
held under the auspices OF the Denver
lodge Of Elks. For two years now the
Denver Elks have sponsored the OBJ
servance of Flag day by public
program of vigorous, inspiring, pat
riotic character. Surely no fraternal
or benevolent order, enjoying the
privileges and opportunities extended
to all secret societies under the Ameri-
can flag, can engage in any more
laudable purpose than that of foster.
ing loyalty to that emblem which
stands for liberty, equality and fra
ternity." The meaning and history OF
the flag were set forth by gifted
speakers, the national anthem was
sung by the entire audience, stirring
airs by military band awoke the
emotions which are always aroused by
the strains OF martial music and 10000
people dispersed to their homes after
the ceremonies with a reyitalized CON
the constitution and a renewed pledge
to be worthy OF the America which
has made them the favored people OF
the earth. The Elks are to be CON
graduated upon recognizing the op-
portunity for public service In max.
ing Flag day an occasion OF patriotic
uplift. The flag is too much neglect.
ed. Americans do not accord II the
everyday respect to which 1t is en-
titled. II is left to fly in tatters on
downtown flagpoles or hidden away in
home closets instead OF being dis
played proudly upon every possible
occasion and being kept in good con-
dition. Every effort made to in
crease reverence for the national en-
blem and knowledge OF It's making and
its mission is bound to be reflected in
better citizenship and a heightened
appreciation of the blessing conferred
by America upon each and every resi-
Exchange.

The Odd Fellows came into their
own Tuesday evening and are now
tied with the "invincible" Elks for
third place. Pat Dillon, who it was re-
ported had turned in his suit, which
he was later persuaded to take again,
fully redeemed himself Tuesday when
he knocked out a three bagger, scor-
ing two men, and later also scored
when Billy May hit for a single.
The Elks were their opponents, who
opened up the fireworks by scoring
two men, getting their license by a
pair OF errors and a pair of walks.
The Odd Fellows were shut out in
the first inning, but in the second,
Norman. first man up, started a bat
ting rally which was hard to stop. Five
hits and five runs were the record for
this inning, Ramsey, the star short for
the Elks, making two assists to first,
and Sampson striking out the third
Norman's control was not as good
as in the previous game and in the
third he walked two more. 1t was in
this inning that Sampson made the
first hit off Norman, hitting for two
bases, while Arthur followed with a
single. Graham was caught at the
home plate, but F. Wilson and Samp-
son scored, making four scores for
the ETks.
Only three men faced Sampson in
the fourth, none OF whom reached
first. At this time the Odd Fellows
were one ahead and the Odd Fellow
fans were jubilant
In the fifth the Odd Fellows again
punched hits and together with one
walk, put four men across the plate.
Final score 9-4, the Elks trailing.
Norman struck out seven men and
allowed but two hits. while Sampson
struck out six, allowing eight hits.
Norman walked six men and Sampson
