BY TRIB :

InVadeS Park.

The belated winning streak started
by the Indians was extended to four
straight Thursday when Byron
Specie and George Lyons engaged in
twelve-inning mound battle and
the Tribe pitcher won. The score
was to 3.
Walter Holke. hobbling from bad
strain, batted for Miller in the
twelfth with two men out and dou-
bed down the right field foul line,
scoring Fisher and Voter. The
Tribesmen swept the three-game SER
les with the cellar Senators after
capturing the finale with the
Colonels last Monday.
Senators Crack
Columbus counted a marker in the
first half of the twelfth Thursday
when Schliebner scored Thelan with
a pop fly single to short center. The
break caused the Senators to believe
they were going to win ball game,
but their defense cracked when the
Indians took their time at bat.
After one out in the third extra
round, Fisher was safe on Schlieb-
ner's tumble. Henry batted for Rehg
and walked. Yeter popped a foul
to Doljak. The sun bothered Doljak
and he dropped the ball. Voter
forced Henry, Fisher going to third.
Voter stole second and Holke broke
up theestruggle.

Announce Success
$4,000 Budget Fund
Green Street Church

The congregation at the Green
Street Methodist Easter service was
deeply interested in the reports of
the captains of teams who assisted
in the campaign for the annual bud
get of $4,000 which was reported
not only fully subscribed, but with a
handsome margin beyond the goal
set. The pastor expressed apprecia-
ton for the splendid work rendered
as we'll as the general recognition OF
personal responsibility for the sup
port of their church as evidenced by
the sum so quickly subscribed.
Several infants were presented by
their parents for the holy rite of
baptism and three adults were re-
ceivei Into the church.
At the evening service the building
was crowded, the people listening
with increasing admiration and
pleasure to the rendering of the sa-
cred cantata, From Death to Life,
by the noted composer Bartlett. Too
much praise could scarcely be given
to the whole chorus for the perfect
ly wonderful unison and interpreta-
ton of the theme, while the several
soloists, some of whom are well
known singers, were greeted with ut
most appreciation. AS the thrOng
departed, from the many enthusiastic
expressions heard on every hand, it
was clear that a musical event Of
real distinction and beauty had been
enjoyed.
An announcement Of the pastor
that created marked interest was the
fact that Mayor Ernest L. Mclean,
would be the guest of the church
next Sunday evening and that he
would speak on Christian Citizen

KNIGHTS TEMPLAR
ATTEND EASTER
SUNDAY SERVICE

Sir knights Of Trinity Command
cry. No. Z, knights Templar, to the
number of 1875 on Sunday afternoon
attended the annual Commandery
Easter service which was held at the
Penney Memorial United Baptist
church. In addition there were pres
ent many relatives and friends of the
Sir Knights.
The sermon was delivered by Rev.
Sir A. Francis Walch, prelate of
Trinity Commandery, who talked on
the subject, "The Templar's Easter"
He declared that Easter to the Tenn
plar must be both vision and con-
viction-a vision of a great trust and
an opportunity to put it into practice,
He declared that immortality is the
great resurrection fact. that it is not
only doctrinal affair but very
practical matter. Every truth is a
truth to live by. It is not enough to
have a creed but one must have the
power of action as well, SO the ques-
ton Of Immortality Is not only @
question Of living forever, but it is a
question Of living on a constantly
higher plane. The knights Templar
have always stood for these two
things, he declared, and have always
had the vision Of the resurrection of
the Saviour and also the desire to
serve, on the strength of that revela-
ton.
The Sir Knights formed at 2.30 in
front Of the Asylum on Water street
and marched to the Penney Memoir
ial United Baptist church. They were
escorted by the Augusta Cadet Band
under Director Sir Frank A. Dennis.
They entered the church as the pro-
cessional was played and were scatter
in a body.
The responsive readings were led
by Rev. Sir Allison ]. Hayes. chap
lain of the National Soldiers Home at
Togus. Chaplain Hayes also offered
prayer. A very fine musical program
was presented by the church choir
and by Sir Leo K. Andrews at the
organ. This included the organ pre-
lude Resurrection Morn" the an
them Through Death to Life" by
the choir. the Doxology by the choir,
the organ response sweet Hour of
Prayer" the anthem Ring Out Glad
Bells" by the choir and the Postlude
Grand Chorus" by the organ.
