1900 are transported to and from the

I'VE really need four more large

BY REV. ]. EvERETTE NEESE.

WHEN WAR SHALL BE MO MORE
Were half the power that fills tn :
world with terror,
Were half the wealth bestowed on
camps and courts,
Given to redeem the human mini
from error
There were no need of arsensals and
forts.
The warriors name would be a name
abhored!
And every nation, that should lift
again
It's hand against brother, on it's
forehead
Would wear forevermore the curse
of Cain!
Down the dark future, through long
generations,
The echoing sounds grow fainter
and then cease;
And like bell, with solemn, sweet
vibrations,
I hear once more the voice of
Christ say, Peace
Peace! and no longer from it's brazen
portals
The blast of wars great organ
shakes the skies!
But beautiful as the songs Of the i'm
mortals,
The holy melodies of Love arise.

played the part of the No. cannon,
however, betting homer and a single

This boosted the Cardinals into the

CHICAGO, May 19.-Robert Moses
Grove. with his lean left arm, is writ
ing another brilliant chapter In a
story which already ranks as one Of
the greatest in baseball's lo0-year-old
collection of diamond romances.
'Ol Nose is almost 40 years old. His
wavy hair is streaked with gray. Long
since, it would seem, has the elasticity
of youth departed from his spindly
legs, and no longer does that lean left
arm fire the fast ball which once made
batters finch.
Great Record This Year.
Yet today Grove is very much a
part of baseball's annual picture. In
seven-game appearances, he has scored
six victories and lost no games. He
has pitched 60 innings, allowed an
average of only two earned runs per
game, granted only 21 bases on balls
and struck out SO swingers. 'Ol Nose
is giving relentless time great battle.
Grove scored his 263d triumph in
IA years in the majors the other day
and should he never win another game
he'll 60 down as one Of the greatest
left-handed pitchers in the sports
history.

CLEVELAND, May 19.-With seven
more games to 60 on their Western
swing, the Senators still have chance
to salvage some lost prestige. Here
to open a three-game series with the
Indians. they will bank on Jimmy De
Shong. Dutch Leonard and Elon Hog
sett 20 carry the pitching burden.
De Shong, who was scheduled to
face Willis Hudlin in the opener
today, was to make his first start of
the campaign against the Tribe. Jimmy
was the most successful of the Griff
pitchers against Cleveland last year.
Leonards performance will be watch

hurled against the Tribe he won, l to 0,
in 13 innings That was the day
Leonard outpitched the sensational
Bob Feller in Washington, giving up
only six hits and no bases on balls in
the 13 frames.
Johnny Stone is to continue as the
Nationals new cleanup hitter for an
indefinite period. according to Bucky
Harris. Stone was promoted yesterday
in Detroit. while zeke Bonura was
dropped to fifth place. Rocky cele-

only score of Ferrell yesterday, was
