PADDY IS HERO
OF BENEFIT BALL
GAME YESTERDAY

"Paddv' Livingston was the
outstanding star of the benefit
ball game between the Valley All
Stars and the Imperial merchants
at the ball grounds in this city
Yesterday. The All-Stars took the
game 20 to 4, and despite the one
sidedncss of the score il was an
interesting game to watch, q large
crowd Of spectators getting con-
siderable enjoyment out of it.
In addition to pitching the en-
tire game for the All-StarS, Living
ston struck out Is of the Imperial
sluggcrs. That in itsdf would bc Il
good afternoon s work for "A pitcher
but "Paddy' went a little further
aud got two hits, one of them a
homo run, with one man on in the
ninth inning.
"Paddy' usually hits about the
size of his shoe in the course of
a. season, aud h. gets a home run
about as often as hen gets Il tooth
ache, so that Yesterday s perform
ancc was in the nature of II field
day for him, and hc got aS much
endowment ont Of it as the fans did,
Cred Shillkatt started on the
mound for imperial, and had tough
work finding the slab. -Four walks,
one hit, and Il man hit by the
pitcher, accounted for five runs by
the All-S,ars in the first inning and
Shillkctt seemed to losu heart.
With Livingston moving them
down almost in order, Imperial did
not score until the fifth iGning,
when they scored a run. They add
ed two more in the sixth and one
in the seventh, which ended their
scoring for the day.
The All-StarS, having made Il
good start, kept up the work, scor-
ing in every inning but the third
and fifth.
In addition 10 Livingston 5 bonner,
Wakefield of the AllStars and
Gusto of the Imperial team hit for
circu:t clouts, but neither caused
the excitement that Paddy : -
did. the latter making the circuit
amid Il bcdlam Of noise from rootcrs
and auto horns.
The game was played for the pur-
pose of obtaining funds for a ban
quct to the players, which will hc
given later in the week.

ORIGIN OF
ROSE OF
ENGLAND

HASN'T there been a time
IL when each and every one of
US wished that we could turn
lack the universal least one
centuTy-and live again as leis-
urelv ladies and gentlemen of the
Victorian age?
When you have spent an espe-
cialIy frantic twenty-four hours
rushing to business, rushing home
and rushing out again, only to
climb YEARLY into bed at night.
haven't your thoughts wandered
hack into the days when ladies
wore thirty.two yards of silk and
five -beribboned petticoats. and
men were courtly gallants in
knee breeches?
Instead of counting fleecY sheep
over a mythical fence, you indulg-
cd your fancy in watching state
~ professions of elegantly attired,
slow moving ladies and gentle
men. Down the broad tree.lined
avenue came this gorgeous pa
lade headed by two young strip
lings on snow white chargers, fol-
lowed two ornate ladies' carriages,
the vehicles themselves as fair as
their occupants.
You leaned back and allowed
your mind to rest a moment on
the most fantastic feature of the
carriage and be-jeweled coat,of-
arms. How the crown sparkled
in the sun. and how the lion, his
claws caught in the folds of a
band of ribbon, glowered at you.
With a sigh, you turned over
and determined to forget lovely
mid-Victorian ladies and spark
ling crests. But hold! You re-
member that coat-of-arms are still
in use in England and you won
der how the heraldic sign of
England originated.
If you remember, the coat of
arms has several roses inter-
twined in it. The origin of these
roses dates back to the civil
wars between the York and Ian
cashire factions.
A group of noblemen were dis.
GUESSING the merits of rival
claimants to the throne in Tenn
pie Gardens. During their de.
preached and begged to learn
the subject of discussion. Not
ing the silence which followed
his query, the Duke said: IF
you are reluctant to give me
your opinion in worGs, why not
give me a sign? Let my friends
follow my example and pull a
white rose"
Thus the friends of Richard
were known by ting white rose
and his enemies by the red rose.
War ragged between the rival
factions until the two houses
were united by marriage, years
later. The roses, then blended,
became the national flower of
England, emblazoned on her
arms and on the coin *of the
realm.

The explanation ur this is that
