sons charges took an 8-to-5 licking.
Twelve hits were made off Sam Gray
by the Nationals, but after the first
frame he held them at bay until the
latter part of the engagement. BY that
time, however, the Browns had the tilt
we'll in hand. Howley's horde made IL

Mats Of in Lead.
Washington was off in the lead when
q pass to Rice, Goslin's single and
Tate's healthy double Melted two tallies,
in the first inning. This was Offset in
the second session by the Browns partly
because of an error by Cronin. The
shortstop made wild chuck when he
tried for force play on ORourke at
the n1idle sack after picking up Bran
mons grounder and Blackie went to
third. AS Schang forced out Branpon.
O'Rourke crossed and Gray's triple put
Wally over.
In the third, Jones' last round the
Browns picked up three more runs to
break the tie. Manush doubled, Schultz
walked, then Jones hit O'Rourke to fill
the sacks with one out. Brannon
singled two runs across and another
was registered as Schang was thrown
out. An error by Cronin and pass to

The Nationals after their first inning
splurge rested until the last three
rounds in each of which they tailed
Goslin's homer accounted for the
seventh session score. Doubles by
Cronin and Hayes meant a run in the
eighth. In the ninth, Goslin singled,
ambled to third unmolested and crossed
when O'Rourke made a poor chuck
after picking up Tate's grounder.
Hayes seemed to take a fancy to
Gray's pitching. The Nationals young
second sacker poled two doubles in the
four times he faced Sam. One drive
was to the left field stand wall and the
other to the right field stand barrier.

So Peter once more made himself
comfortable and kept his eyes fixed on
that hole in the dead tree. Two or
three times he thought he saw some
thing moving back in the hollow, but
it was so dark in there that he couldn't
be quite sure. Peter was patient. Peter
can be very, very patient when he wants
to be. At last his patience was re-
warded. A head was suddenly thrust
out of that hole and just as quickly
drawn back.
Peter gasped. Yes, sir, he gasped.

1t was true that the thing had hap
pened again. A head had been poked
out of that hole in the tree and just as
quickly withdrawn. Peter was certain
that that head was the head of duck,
but whoever heard of ducks in holes In
trees high up from the ground! Ger
tainly, he had never heard of such a
thing and that was why he couldn't
make himself believe his own eyes.
THAT head looked just like the head

I must have been thinking so much

But though Peter watched for a long,
long time, he saw nothing further and
finally left to go back to the pond of
Paddy the Beaver as puzzled as he had

the nest of Beauty the Wood Duck.
AS he sat there under the little hem
lock tree there was nothing in particu-

him was a dead tree. 1t was a tree

in good time the canal will be needed However
rte it may be to say the world today stands at the
beginning of such an era of human ferrnent that if
could but look ahead for few decades what we
would would strike dumb with amazenent.
The United States made greater progress in the last
twenty years than in all its previous existence put
together Not one but many nations today promise
to duplicate our Development some of them being in
Central and South America, while we ourselves are
destined to dizzily to what now would seem
to be unattainable standards
It is in the cards, therefore that the Nicaraguan
canal will be undertaken at distant day to take
of the worlds increasing commerce. including own
That being the case it is highly desirable that
get started right Not only should the proposed canal
be surveyed by engineers, but by diplomats we'll
and when it is cut through, let no nation, however
weak and small, be able to say that the mighty
Colossus of the North trod upon it's rights.
If the canal goes through eighty miles of it
certainly will almost follow the San Juan river. the
boundary between Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Costa
Rica, therefore, has very definite interest in the
canal.
If the canal is dug, we will almost surely establish
a naval base on the Gulf of Fcnseca, site ceded
to us by Nicaragua But Salvador and Honduras
claim common possession of the waters of Fonseca
along with Nicaragua, and their claims must be in
vestigated and satisfied.
And so the point is this: 1t is becoming ncreas-
ingly important for the United States to build up
friendships for itself in the Americas Looking ahead
fifty years. as diplomacy must to be worth anything
it is quite conceivable that these friendships will be-
come invaluable to us.
So now that we are heading in the direction of a
new interoceanic canal across the Central American
sthmus let's take to tranple nobodys rights.
Certain suspicious already have been aroused in con-
necton with our previous deals looking toward con-
struction of this waterway. We should seize this
sion to clear those away.
This time let us start right that and when we
turn the first spadeful of dirt in Nicaragua, Latin
America will watch with eager and friendly interest
instead Of with gestures of suspicion and fear.
