BASEBALL ST PEN
■5 REFORMS
Federal Prisoners Never Have
Abused Privileges Allowed
in Diamond Contests.
Baseball as a reform force has prov
ed an entire success at the Federal
prison, according to the prisoners
themselves and they ought to know.
The prisoners have become such base
ball experts that two leagues are now
playing for the prison championship
each Saturday, and the race has be
come so hot that a post season series
has been arranged.
“That the ball games organized by
the prisoners of the Federal peniten
tiary at Atlanta have done much to pre. |
serve discipline can not be denied,” says
the current issue of Good Words, the
official paper of the government pris
oners. "It has proved of exceptional
value as an aid to the work of reform
ation."
Under the direct patronage of the
warden and his deputy, two leagues,
formed of prisoners of the penitentiary,
and named after the favorite nines of
the major and Southern leagues, meet
in contents every Saturday on the
prison grounds.
During the hall games the prisoners
are allowed the utmost freedom of
movement, compatible with discipline.
They may coach, cheer, smoke, sing
and even "pan” the opposing players
and the umpires, who are prisoners, too.
They play In white and brown uni
forms and nil the other prisoners
watch the matches, with the under
standing that any breach of good be
havior will be punished by withdrawal
of the baseball privileges of the prison
for three months.
Good Words says that not an Infrac
tion of the rules has occurred since
baseball was Inaugurated.

GUNS AT FORTS BOOM
AS NEW FLAG IS BORN
A new flag was horn today and flung
| to the breeze for the first time as the
official banner of the United States.
With simple ceremony, the like of
which was rehearsed on every battie
ship, in every army post, at every Amer
ican legation and consulate the world
•ound, the new national standard, daz
zling with 48 stars, to include the new
states of Arizona and New Mexico, was
raised at Fort McPherson today.
While the Seventeenth infantry stood
at attention, the band playing the na
tional air, the post guns blazed a na
tional salute and the flag xvhich will
remain the emblem of the American
republic until another state la created
was given to the wind.
July 4 Recognized
iA 3 Flag Birthday.
The flag, which has been official
since July 4, 1907 immediately follow
ing the admission of Oklahoma Into
the Union, went out of commission to
day when the new standard with 48 in
stead of 48 stars was declared the of
ficial standa-d. Th* stars no.v are ar
ranged in six oven rows.
Since the nation was horn of the
Fourth of July it has become the cus
tom to make that date the birthday of
new flags Whenever during the past
century a new state has been admit
ted to the Union a new flag with a
rearrangement of stars has been born
on the Fourth of July that followed
Immediately following the admission
of a state a commission is appointed
by the president to decide upon a
grouping of the stars in the Union.
Ever since the orders were issued
effecting the change of standard today
government employees have been busy
pulling down the old banners, ripping'
off the two short rows ot stars and re
arranging them to meet the new re
quirements. At the Brooklyn navy
yard alone 88. non stars have been
ripped off, rearranged and sewed hack
on. In 39 states where the public
school buildings are required to fly the
national flag it is necessary that 250,000
flags be remodeled or replaced with ncyy
ones.
Fort McPherson
Floats Big Banner.
Strange to say. congress has never
defined the exact dimensions of the
national flag. The various departments
are very apt to have dimensions of
their owr. although the navy flag has
come to be recognized as the proper
size for all purposes save for army
posts.
It was a regulation garrison flag that
was unfurled at Fort McPherson today
—a banner peculiar to the army. This
flag, which is the biggest authorized
by tile war department, is twenty feet
wide and "6 feet long. The navy flag,
which is commonly used, is ten feet
wide and nineteen feet long.
