serie. Open Sunday

The annual baseball classic between
the old time rivals. Over the Top and
the B-H Silk Sox will begin at North
Grosvenordale next Sunday. The Gros-
venordales and Putnam managers ex-
pect much of their respective teams
which are scheduled to lineup as
"Home Town" combinations as fol-
lows; Over-the Top: X. Aucoin 3b,
Bates 2b, II. Ravenelle If, Nelson c.
Fl. Coderre RI, Duquette RI, Johnson
H. Waselewski CT, Vaudeville Of, K.
Rayenelle SIS, F. Aucoin IS, L. Coderre

The Over the Top team with its
complete lineup of home talent and
'Slim" Coderre on the mound is not
SO easily beaten. The silk Sox boast
ing Of some young talent which they
Will place in their lineup is not giving
the GrosvenOrdales much worry as
they too have some new blood To send
against the S0x in the coming series.
"Gumshoe" Waselewski is the out
standing figure among the coming
youngsters and with his fine fielding
and hitting is bound to offset anything
manager Murphy and Co., will trot
out ON the field. Big Dick" Duquet-
e also a new face in the annual Put
nam Grosvenordale series is capable
of busting up many ball game. The
fans are figuring that the odds are
with the Gr0svenordale bakers in the
pitching line. With "Slim" Coderre
as the veteran of many a past season
series in fine form, supported by
Lefty" Hebert a promising young
ster whom many consider of Coderre's
calihre, the Putnam batsmen will find
themselves facing some puzzling pitch
ing, both from the right and south
paw staff of the bakers. The Putnam
lineup are pinning their hopes on
"lzzy" Weiss. Ii seems that the Gros-
venordaleg talent have already mas
tered his knuckle ball delivery this
season in a twilight affair staged not
So long ago. The hard hitting COM
bination Of bakers may shatter the
hopes Of manager Murphy if Weiss Is
sent TO the mound next Sunday and If
this happens the Putnam manager 5
prophecy that Weiss has proven so
per cent better in the box than "Slim'
Coderre viii prove but another "razz
against the Grosvenordales' boxman.
"Slim' Coderre's corner in the Put
nam lineup was short lived for some
reason or other and next Sunday
game should avenge him for the treat
ment he received while a member of
the Murphy combination. The Gros-
venordales are confident and are out

By the arrangements Umpire Charron

Bob" Aucoin's two errors also gave
the Quinebaug batsmen a chance on
the base lines. Due credit must be
given to Mangan the visitors pitcher

delivery was puzzle to most of the
baker batsmen and only "Cooler" Mel

able to master his slants Nelson hit

lreland's Envoy to the U. S:

debates on the opium question had
been ambling down side trails, tang
ling in the brambles of technicalities
getting nowhere. Bishop Brent and
Representative Porter had gone home
in disgust.
MacWhite had been listening appar-
emily half asleep. Suddenly he leaped
to his feet in a denunciation of British
policy. And he spoke-for the first
time-in English. 49,.
Correspondents rushed to the wires
One of them rushed to MacWhite:
why did you speak in EngliSh?"
II wanted" MacWhite answered, Il
wanted to be sure the blighters would
understand mel"
Appointed Minister to this country
he went back to say goodbye to
Clanakilty.
Times had rneasurably changed since
he had left that village. boy. The
new Ireland had begun to dawn. The
cooperative he had started was -four
ishing. No more we're groups upon the
hillside, watching the steamers carrying
the flower Of Irish youth to America
Ireland last year did not even fill her
quota of emigrants.
Accorded Great Ovation.
There was great ovation for the de-
parting hero. People came in from
miles about. There were speeches and
merrymaking and eating and drinking
and more speeches. The Comfy (ac-
cent on the first syllable) took Mac
White aside. They had something pri-
vate to say.
We're looking to you to give us a
fine cup for the fair" they said. They
got the cup.
And SO the boy who, dreaming of the
world. of freedom. had watched the
ships from the little green hills of Clan
akilty. steamed by those hills himself,
at last on his way to represent an Irish
government in one OF the worlds great
est countries.
To those of us Americans who keep
unto the second and the third genera
ton the memory Of the drama and the
dreams of Ireland's past. there is some
thing to warm the heart in greeting as
Ireland's Minister a man whose career
carries on dash of the old tradition
while his intellectual opinion carries on
the policies Of the present day.
The new Minister is proof that ire
land need lose nothing of that past
romance we love in her. while forging
the necessities of her present.
