The fielding of the whole team was splrndld, the piny- pro not being taken with the usual atage fright which Is Incident to an amateur team playing a professional. The Otimlm team won by the score 'of 8 to 4. but the game was Interesting all the way through nnd the Western team had no walkaway. Crelghton started right from the flrrt Jump and landed on Mr. Heusser from Bait Lake City, who evidently thought he had a snap and who wai sort of lobbing them over. Fefora he awoke to the fact that he would have to pitch some if he wished to win the gam the boys from Cre.ighron had mad four hits and three runs In the first ' Inning. After that Mr. Heusser braced and no more hits were made while he stayed in the game. Some splendid fielding ' 'was done by Crelghton, especlully a double pulled off by Whitehead. Ktilil and 8teen and two catches made by Flshback In right and a fine running catch by McShane In left. The pitchers for Crelghton worked well, four hits being made off Whitehead . la four Innings and three off Stratton in the four he pitched. Rtrattoo pitched three Innings without a hit or run being made, but in the eight Inning Welch started the i"uflladu by . hitting , the. ball over the right field fence for a home run. Crelghton showed the team had been well coached and that It is a good match for any amateur team In this neck of the woods. f round until his tight with Tnnnn or Bt. 'aul had been decided.

Score: DETROIT. CHICAGO. B.H.O.A.B. B.H.O.A.E. was mainly through bis Influence that that country was Induced to give us the aid without which we might not have won the war. Franklin also was Instrumental In raising money from other sources for the American cause. Returning home after the war he took part In the constitutional convention and though not doing much of the work him self his influcnre helped preserve the har mony so necessary to the peace, and even the life, of the young nation. Franklin was also governor of Pennsyl vania for a time and he also held civil offices In other places. Seeing all these things we must admit that Franklin, hav ing the beet and prominent characteristics of an American, and esieclally patriotism. Is worthv to be called "a typical American, and that he Is well worthy of emulation. In the presence of several hundred high school students the gold medal of tne Daughters of the American Revolution was conferred yesterday afternoon upon Wil liam Wilbur, who won It In the annual competition of high school students fos tered by the society by an essay, on the subject "Benjamin Franklin, a Typical American." The rostrum In the assembly room on the fifth floor of the city hall was decorated with the stand of colors which the daughters will present to the ifflcers of the new battleahlp Nebraska. Mrs. Edward Porter Peck presided over the program, which was held yesterday, because It happened to be the anniversary of the battle of Lexington, Six honorable mentions were bestowed upon Lake Deuel, Jerome F. Heyn, Vera Ryerson. Marie Roman. Irene Larmon and Harry Bllxt. It was the first time since the medal has been conferred that It was carried off by a boy. The principal address was made by John L. Webster, who talked of the revolution. patriotism and notable men, chiefly Frank lin. Selections were played by the high school orchestra,' Stanley Letovsky leader. and a brief history of the navy was read by Mrs. Troup. Miss Haiel Needham sang the "Irish. Lullaby." Bishop Wllllims asked the Invocation and the exetcises closed w'th the singing of "America." Mr. Webster in his address said: It Is worth more to n, unirit r,r inde pendent nationality and to the progress and development of our Institutions to be familiar with the lives and acts and thoughts of the rren who controlled the destinies of the colonies as thev nasseil through the throes of that dreadful seven JiT""?. war ,han 11 1 to know the rise of the history ol Greece throueh Its area nf supremacy In art and eloquence and the iininry oi .nome wnen It bad risen to Its golden era under the rule of Augustus. 7 he history of the American revolution and of the adoption of the Declaration of In dependence and nf the framing of the fed eral constitution are the sources of that great spirit of Americanism which has gone on growing and expanding until It has made our country the first of nations In the powers of the world. Mr. v iibur read his essay, which follows: "Franklin, a typical American." The words mean little to us unless w firm iinrinr. stand what a typical American is. 'rim typical American is one that possesses ail the peculiar characteristics of the American race not only those of New KmrlanH nnt only those of the south, not ricn, not poor. iiui ruitjr, nut a slave. A typical Amer ican is, In a word, all Americana n.nuMorl Into one, and It Is such that we shall show Franklin to be. But to better understand whv Franklin came to be such a true American we must look at the Influences that helped him, we must see what his early environment was. He was born In poverty the son of a poor ccuidlemaker with a large family. If tnore " any conumon oi lite to bring self-reliance this Was It. And If-thnr wora i.ni- atnbitlon at all In him ttila condition would Increase it and make him strive for bettor things. iiien franklin was blessrd with s-nort unrt sensible parents, who. though thev were poor, did not wlfh their sou to be. They encouraged his attempts to get an educa tion, and this encouragement, together with his own passion for learning we ar told that he read even while eating made iKissiblu his ranld rise. . Hla fathor t.... discouraged his attempts at writing poetry. telling Benjamin that roets were generally beggars, and so saved him for better things. .,!, . Though these outside? Influences were great, it was necessary' '?hat there' should be something in the boy himself, and there was. One of the chief characteristics of the typical American Is ambition, .and Franklin had this In a high degree. The best proof of his ambition Is hla success. A person with no ambition will stay where he began; but Franklin rose from the son of a poor, common, obscure candlemaker until finally he became the representative of the nation In the courts of Kurope. Another characteristic of Franklin Is his Keif-reliance. We have his environment to thank for that. But the best proof of it is In his uutoblography, where he tells of his arrival In Philadelphia with only a dollar In his pocket, a story with which all of us are or should be familiar. He tells us that ho was captain In his boyish games a true American character istic. Americans are born leaders and can not endure subordination. A pace of this kind of men could not fall to become pow erful In the world. Then Franklin was adaptable. The change from a poor, Insignificant house In Boston to the court of one of the most powerful kings of Europe Is a great one. but Franklin accomplished It, and so could many other Americans In his place, so could any typical -American. Ingenuity and Inventiveness are two characteristics that go well together. Wit ness his experiment with the kite, the dls, covery that electricity and lightning were the same, and the application of that dis covery In the lightning rod. Then it Is to Franklin that we owe our first stove, a stove which Is still in use and which bears his name. The typical American Is Industrious, eco nomical, fun-loving and Just. Franklin was all this. The many proverbs which he com posed and published In "Poor Richard's Almanac" will show this. "Silks and satins fiut out the kitchen Are," "If you would lave your business done, go; if not, send." "Little strokes fell great oaks." These are only a few of his many pithy sayings. But the greatest virtue of. an American is his patriotism; and surely no one can say that Franklin was lacking in this. The greater part of his life was spent In the service of his country. Through the revolu tlon he was ambassador to France, and It SO HOI. I) THKIR AM AI. DIF.I Complimentary Banquet to Daughters Held Last Mht.

The machine was covered with mud and looked much th worse for wear, though Mr. Magarg-d offered to pit it against anything in I rlght's garage, and declared It would still be a good "wagon" when It reached Nw York.
