In a <1 Iiik dong battle thut had to bo called because of darkness Thursday evening, the Home Guard softball talent nosed out the Instructors 14 to 13 after eight Innings of hectic pastlming. The game, starting at 7 p. m. was still deadlocked when the Guards came to hat In the last of the eighth frame. The team captains had been notified that there would be no more action at the conclusion of the eighth stanza. The game was murrod by an accident to Hob Ward, center fielder of the Instructor team, who, sliding into second In the fifth inning while trying to stretch a nice single to right field into a double, either sprained or broke bis right ankle. He was rushed to the hospital. The Home Guard, denied a smell of victory in the scehdule up to this game were thirsting for a win and they tore into the offerings of Wilson Heebo for five runs in the second inning. Fivo hits, a walk an error in the left garden paved the way for the quintet of markers. Hut the Instructors were not to be denied, and they roared back in third to push four players bver Hie plate, utilizing two hits, two walks and a bobble to turn the trick. The Instructors appeared to hhvo the game on ice when four more runners scampered over the pan in the fourth, but their lead was only temporary, as the Guards mixed three singles with an error in the outer garden to tie up the count by scoring three runs. The Instructors again forged to the front In the fifth. Ward singled Hickson home with a nice blow, which developed into disaster when the popular Instructor second baseman fractured his ankle in sliding into second. The flyers kept their lead safe by retiring the Guards in the last of the fifth when only throe men faced Beebe. Harrison singled to start the inning, but an attempted steal on second was an easy out. The Instructors went down in their half of the sixth although Bailey gathered himself a nice hit, but was out on a fielders choice. Nix reached third and looked like a score which fizzled when he was hit by a batted ball as he was coming homo on Nabor's blow. It looked like a certain Guard win going into the eighth, but the flyers, their backs against the wall, staged an rally that netted them three runs and tied up the ball game. The end came in the last of the Inning when DeBruhl, leadoff batter for the Guards, Mingled to right. He was out at second when Lynch grounded to short. Lynch did not atop at first but kept going and tbe Flyers blew up Just long enough to let Lynch reach third. The agony ended when Newman singled to score Lynch with the winning run. It. H. E.

Story of Legion Auxiliary Poppy The Idea of iho poppy as h memorial flower for (Im* World War dead sprang up us nutiffctlly aa the little wild flower ltaelf grows In the fields of HYattce and Flanders. The flower was the one touch of beauty which survived amid the hideous destruction of war. Along the edge of the trenches, beneath the tangled barbed wire, about the ragged shell holes and over the fresh graves it raised Its brave red blossom It seemed to be the one immortal thing hi that region whore death reigned. The soldiers of all nations came to look upon It as the living symbol of the sacrifices of their dead comrades. it was a poet who first gave expression to the idea. Soon himself to lie beneath the poppies, he wrote: "In Flanders' field tho popples blow, Set ween tho croasee, row on row?" Even before the men had returned from the war, the perfect little poem of Colonel John McCrae had winged its way around the world carrying ihe picture of (ho poppies. Returning soldiers brought the vision of the poppy fields back with them, engraved Indelibly In their hearts with the memories of the comrades they had left on the battle front. Spontaneously (he poppy took on a sacred significance. It became tho flower of remembrance for the men who had poured out their life's blood arbimd the roots of tho little plant. Memories of the war oead always bring thoughts of those who did not die but came buck doomed to years of hardship and suffernlg, sometimes worse than death. In tho poppy was found a way to link the honoring of the dead with service for the living victims of the war. Soon after tho war patriotic organizations in different countries began to conduct Hales of poppies made by disabled veterans, to raise funds for relief work among suffering ex-service men and their families. A double significance became attached to the poppy. Wearing the little flower came to mean honoring the dead and helping tho living. Tho poppy also became tho memorial flower of the Rritish Legion. Other American veterans' organizations fob lowed the American Legion and Auxiliary in adopting it as thier official flower of remembrance. Soon many tn 11 lions of the little red flowers were being worn each year In all parts of the English-speaking world, to honor the World war dead and to aid tho war's living victims. The nation-wide sale of memorial poppies was begun by the Legion and Auxiliary in 1921. At first silk poppies made in France by French widows and orphans were used. In 1922 the first poppies made by American veterans were produced In tho hospitals of Minnesota, and this work has steadily expanded until poppies are being made in more than fifty hospltals hml disabled veterans' work, rooms in forty dlfforeut states. The crepe paper poppy whh solected um the official poppy of the American Legion and Auxiliary because It provided t|te maximum of work for the ditutblcd men. with the minimum expenditure for materia la. The fabric poppy was considered, but it was not selected because making this poppy would not provide sufficient employment for the disabled veterans. lly 11)24 it was seen that 'he poppy program lent Itself more naturally to the work of women than of men, I and the American Legion gave the I Auxiliary complete charge of the national program. This was a heavy responsibility. Wearing the flower was I the nation's annual tribute to the World war dead. From the distribution of the flower came a large proportion of the welfare and relief funds of both organizations. Seldom has Milch a gigantic enterprise been placed solely In the hands of women. How well the Auxiliary measured up to the responsibility placed on Its shoulders is shown by the development of the poppy program. Knob year approximately 12,000,01)0 Americans wear Legion and Auxiliary pop. pics in tribute to the war dead, contributing for the flowers over a million dollars for the welfare of the war's living victims.
