6 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. JOHN D/S HOUSEKEEPER SAVED EXACTLY $3,000 NEW YORK, July 4.—lt took Mrs. Sara D.

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.
