Games

Two teams which have played
good ball all season, particular
ly when they were pitted against
each other, will meet tomorrow
afternoon at the ball grounds,
west of the court house when the
Southern Pacific and Southern
Sierras cross bats. The railroad
ers and the power gang have
little love for each other when

tition on the ball diamond, and
tomorroW's game should be a
crackerjack.
The two oil teams, Shell and
Standard, Will meet at the race

resent the higher standing of
their Standard competitors, and
hope to take them down notch
by hanging a defeat on them.

rigation nine. The city team
which has been leading the lea
que all season, expects to hang
another scalp to its collection.

vestigation in two weeks of Con

sci for the Irrigation district.

REQUIEM

Requiem aeternam dona els, Domino
give eternal rest to them, O Lord. Merging with
the silence of the graves, the last faint echoes of
the bugler's taps die away Three volleys crash
into that silence from eight rifles and reverb
Grating echoes float away into nothingness 1t is
the tribute of those who live to those whose souls
have gone beyond Soldiers dead in this brief
moment rise again and march triumphant in the
cadence of those fading echoes.
Sixty years-more than half a century,
Shiloh, Gettysburg, and Appomatox are far
away, still busy nation pauses and remembers,
and makes it's annual pilgrimage to the shrines
where the heroes rest. Nor can the passing en-
tirely of the woefully small number of veterans
of that conflict release younger race from CIV
ing tribute on each Memorial Day.
The echoes of taps die away and the heavy
fragrance of banks of floral wreaths hangs low
over the graves. Barred heads are bowed. Khaki
clad dough-boys, sons and grandsons of these
silent veterans salute with lifted rifles 1t IS
our tribute to the majesty of eternal silence
which holds all heroes.
Requiem aeternam dona els, Domino"
We for whom they died. pause for moment,
then pass on while they, they keep silence
through the years.
