Significance Of Affair Cited.
This ball game" Mr.. Colladay said
today, lis more than mere show for
the entertainment of the spectators and
one might find in it something OF real
significance. We have, for instance, the
symbolic opposition Of the two great
parties lined up against each other IN
good d-natured fight to win ball game,
but the two parties, as represented IN
the ball game, are in reality united IN
a common endeavor to raise money for
those in distress If possible, the Presi-
dent Of the United States will attend
the game as a neutral participant IN
this worthwhile effort, lending his ef-
forts in behalf of the common cause.
And we have the people of Washington,
representing those of the U. s., doing
their part to help out by their patron
age and by the applause they will give
the workers on the diamond. Doesn't
this ball game represent the sort OF
non-partisan. worthwhile cooperation
on everybody's part that Is necessary
now in our effort toward national re-
covery? believe the spirit in which this
game has been undertaken and the en-
thusiastic effort on everybody's part to
make it a success hold real signifl-
ance that cannot be overlooked
Gene Tunney will umpire. The Army
and the Marine Bands will be on hand.
