The Marine Band plays old Christ
mas melodies. Young voices come
caroling into the dusk. A Boy Scout
welcomes the President. A Girl Scout
presents a bouquet to Mrs. Roosevelt.
Into microphone the President voices
his good wishes to the people Of the
land and throws the switch that lights
up THE Singing Christmas Tree" a
noble evergreen so wired that Christ
mas carols rise in the wintry air from
3 to 10 each night from Christmas
eve to New Year.
This year the windows of St. Johns
will invite: Come in, and stay awhile
with me. give you Christmas past. "
TRADITION has it that st. Johns
was started because President
Madison's chaise was stuck in the mud
ON the way to church one Sunday
morning. Closest Episcopal church
to the White House had been the one
near the Navy Yard. Thither schol-
arly, mild-mannered Madison and the
dashing Dolly had to 60 to worship.
But in that mudpuddle Madison lost
his patience and then and there de-
termined to make the church come to
him. The British burning Of Wash
ington interrupted the plans and the
church came to Madison only two
months before he. retired to his Vir-
ginia home.
Benjamin Henry Latrobe, architect
Of the Capitol, who was given the
commission to rebuild the White
House, was also architect Of st. Johns
and busily went to and fro on a road
which then led from the front door
Of the church straight to the White
House front door. The Madisons had
temporary White House nearby.
Church records show that as soon
as the church was ready for occu-
pancy, in December, 1916, Vestry
Committee waited on Madison and
gave him his choice of pews. But "the
President desired that the selection
might be made by the committee
wherenpon the committee selected pew
No. 28, first class" From that day tc
this, st. Johns has had q presidential
pew. though change from square
pews to low-backed shifted its num-
Der, and 1t is now Pew No. 81.
Thus the first Christmas season al
st. Johns was made notable by Presi-
dent Madison and the be-turbaned
Dolly. Their pastor was william H
Wilmer, ancestor Of the late famou.

= pew were James Monroe, his aris-

| NEW YORK, April 22.-When
the Detroit Baseball Club passed
along AL Simmons to the Griffs for
a paltry $4,000, it stabbed the
Polish veterans pride. Ten grand,
Ell; well, it isn't what you pay for
ball player that establishes his
value. It's what he gives you on
the playing field. And unless
every indication is worthless, Sim
mons is going to establish the
front office OF the Tigers as the
abode of foolish men. Simmons
is determined to play 100000
baseball for the Griffs.
Simmons watched the rain slant
down over a leaden grey Hudson
River yesterday and talked about
his plans for 1887. He spoke Of
the trade that sent him here. He
harborS no resentment against
Mickey Cochrane. He knows that
the voice of Detroit fandom drove
him to Washington. It was moth
ing that AL did in Detroit-we
know that from Cochrane. But
the fans resented Simmons from
the start. Nothing he did was
right.
Ignored His Best Efforts
They ignored his greatest efforts
and gloated over his few failures.
Detroit was a most unhappy place
for Simmons. His proud, fiery
spirit was smothered by the indif-
ference of a city.
Don't worry about August or
July, or any other month slowing
me down." said Simmons. I'm
not going to slow down. I see
that I'm hitting 1888 averages for
the first few weeks mean very lit
tie. One hit will send you away
up or away down. I'm going to
keep cutting. I'll hit, don't worry.
"That opening game with the
Yankees showed me one thing.
This Washington Club has what
it takes to win close ones. Sure,
we lost a close one to the
Athletics, but we beat great
club in the Yankees, and we
beat them by one run in game
where they kept hammering at
us; never giving up. If Monte
Weaver had shown the least de-
sire to chuck it, we could have
been licked, but he stayed right
in the clutch and won.
1--WE had to make two great
plays to beat New York." Sim
mons went on. ''Myer made one
in the first inning when he
caught Dickcy's wallOp. Johnny
Stone made another when he
ran and caught Roy JOhnSon'S
smash. That ball Of JohnSon's
looked like payOff when it
left the bat.
Monte Weaver showed me
plenty" declared the big, slug
ger. "YOu know, it's tough to
pitch against those Yankees.
Look over their order. There
isn't a Iet-dOwn on the club.
With some teams you pitch
carefully to few hitters and
coast on others. Not against
the Yankees. You bear down
all the time or they'll knock off
your ears. Weaver had more
stuff. at the end than he had at
the beginning"
"HOw do you figure yourself
for producing runs?" we asked
Simmons.
"Well, always did produce
runs" came the answer. Look
at the record. I know that If
the bali is over the pIate I'll hit
it. OF course, the pitchers work
on you more carefully when
there are men on bases, but
they have to get the ball over
that plate"
