THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, JUNE 26, 1921— PART ‘1. 23 - ALTROCK WHOLE SHOW |There Was Something More Than Base Ball Yesterday League Park : IN MASONIC BALL GAME Both Come;iian and Pitcher Before Record Crowd at American League Park—Hurls Blue Lodges’ Nine to Victory. BY JOHN B. KELLER. S a pitcher, your Uncle Nick A big league company, but Masons, he is some pumpkin: slab for the Blue Lodge’s nine against the team represe: Althrock is far from through. The one-time hero of the world champion White Sox and now coad:|- in-chief of the Nationals may not be able to go the route in hen it comes to performing against brother s. Yesterday the veteran southpaw toed the nting Kallipolis Grotto and demonstrated that the aged wing is still good for a game. Scheduled to hurl only a few innings, Nick went all the way to a well- earned 6 to 2 victory. Nearly 30,000 rabid rooters jammed American League Park to witness the benefit game played annually for the Masonic and Eastern Star Home. They stormed the entrances in such a man- ner that gatemen early abandoned their efforts to register the attendance at the turnstiles. Never before had the home of the ionals accommodated such a throng. RBoth of the contend- ing teams had their admirers at hand. but every one was with k from start to finish and did not hesitate to let that fact be known. Nick Just About Whole Show. And Nick was just about the whole left field for a single that chased in_two more taili Your uncle promptly stole second, and after anotlyr batter had .walked would have broken into the scoring column_had not Hiser neglected to touch first base, following a healthy wallop to center field. The hit cleared the sacks, but some keen-eyed Grotto players quickly returncd the ball to first for the final out and Nick's run went into the discard with the others. Slab Veteran Spurns Relief. Some more brisk batting netted an- other countef for the Blue Lodges in the third. Nick was well pleased. “That's enough for me to work uner,” he chirped. “T'll ‘em standing on their heads the rest of the way And for a while it appeared as thou the Grotto boys would have (o suffer that indignity. When they had gone show. Long before the opening of the vaudeville ent-rtainment that preceded the game le athlete had the ( crowd laughing antics and when the stunt zot underway, the king _of nedians managed to take a prominent part in every num- ber. Billy Dale, the A. E. F. jugsler, perform tling manner with hats, bowling ba chinaware: Sheldon and_Sheldon a thrilling acrobatic v pleased with eyeling act. but they had honors with the irrepressible dtamond actor. When the teams. led by the Grotto Band and the musicians of the Tall Cedars of Lebanon. paraded about the field, there was Nick at the head of the Blue Lodsges’ contingent, grand . procession. The Drill ! allipolis Grotto went sh its intricate maneuvers. but Nick was not to be outdone. He as- sembled the host of clowns that had been maki erry before various sections of the stands and had them doing squads right and column left while the gaudily uniformed Grotto guard performed. But by that time the crowd wanted to see the veteran in action on the playing field and “Play ball” was shouted from all corners. Nick, how- ever. had one more stunt in reserve. When the score of daintily clad Mar- jorie Webster dancers tripped to the green infleld, he was in his glory. While these lithesome devotees, of Terpsichore went through their Greek dances your Uncle Nick capered and swung about the sward, casting coy glances at the maidens and posing in his Dest Ted Shawn style. Admiral Coontz Opens Game. | even helped to page the who were to assist in formally opening the contest. He summoned Maj. Gen. Lejeune, com- mandant of the Marine Corps, and his aide, Maj. Sheppard, and gave the first call for Rear Admiral Coontz and Commander Hill. When the ad- miral tossed out the ball for the start of the engagement, Nick was on the| receiving eml and did not fail to see that the movie men properly recorded the proceeding. Then the comedian became the pitcher and settled to work. He easily disposed of the Grotto stick- men in the first two innings and lent a helping hand when his side staged a batting rally in the second session. A run was across. three men on end | one out when Nick strode to the plate. Emil Pfeil, a crafty amateur moundsmen, endeavored to foil the veteran, but Nick connected with one of the shoots and poked the ball to through the fourth scoreless Manager Mike Macdonald asked Nick whether he was ready to be relieved by Doc White, another star of the old-time WhiteSox, but your uncle insisted that it was better to lct @ youns pitcher stay in the game. The fifth and sixth saw Nick get- ting along excellently, rejecting all retirement propositions. “I'm all m up,” Doec White insisted. It takes a youngster to stand this heqt, Doc. You'd better stay on the ‘cool bench,” replied Nick. But Pfeil had held the Blue Lodges nine safe after the third inning. and when the team faltered behind Nick in the seventh, permitting two Grotto runs o cross after two were out, Doc was ring to go." “Stay where you are!" shouted Nick. Then to the infleld: “Remember what 1 said before the game about fly balls T'll take care of all the high and lofty ones that are hit in this infield. Here's one now for the third out.” And the old-timer dashed toward third base to gather a pop-up that retired the side. When he came to the bench Doc White, burning to get into the fray inquired of Nick whether he could tand the next two innings. “Nothing to it.” was the reply. In its half of the seventh the Blue Lodges mine offset the Grotto, scor- ing by grabbing a pair of markers Nick had a hand in the work, his s the runs. remarked. six more batters.” And his assertion proved true.

Rreat commander of Ohio and member of the supreme board of trustees, Maccabees, has had a most inspiring effect upon the organization in the District of Columbia. r Knight Young was entertalned with an old-time experience meeting at Mount Vernon Tent Tuesday even- ing. which occasion was a joint affair under the auspices of Mount Vernon, National and Georgetown tents. Si Knight Young is a fine orator and perhaps the best experienced and Imost widely known Maccabee in the order, having been the great com- mander of Ohio for over 30 years and chairman of the field commission for many years. Sir Knight Young stated the princi- {pal reason for his visit at this time was to “size up” conditions in Wash- ington, to report to the supreme board, meeting in Duluth, Minn.. July 20, when the preliminary plans for the great convention of the Maccabees to be held here in 1923 will be outlined. Sir Knight Young will return to Warhington early in September to es- tablish headquarters for the prose- cution of those plans. It is expected that the Maccabee convention in 1923 will be the great- est fraternal convention ever held in the United States. Already several hundred clubs have been formed and Over 400 degree teams have entered the con- test for the prizes offered by the Su- preme Tent, viz., $1.000 to the bést team. $750 fo the second. and $500 to the third best team. The first prize winners will have the honor of ex- emplifying the work upon a large class of initiates. It is not possible to estimate the probable number of Maccabees and their families that will come to Washington in 1923, but it will not be less than 10,000 and may reach 50,000, but from now on the Washington Maccabees will be “on the job” and will enlist the services of the business men and organizations of Washington to help make this con- Jention one of the greatest ever held ere. A reception was tendered Sir Knight Young Wednesday evening at the Willard. He was delighted with the enthusiastic support of the Wash- Ington Maccabees given him at both mestings. William B. Severe, past com- mander of Mount Vernon Tent, was chairman of the committee to enter- tain Sir Knight Young and presided at both meetings. Among those participating in the meetings were Messrs. Haas, Han- nan, Grifith. Adamson, Latham, Wer- rell, Sengstack. Buck. Wicks, Com- mander Bass, of Mount Vernon Tent; Crouch, Osborne. Smith. Walker. Shambaugh, Potter, Foster, National Tent: Michael, Commander Degen- hardt. Buren, Grams, Fletcher, Ship- nen, Georgetown Tent, and many mem- bers of the tents named.
