Perhaps Sullivan was i'll and unable to play.

Stricken took Suihyan's place on Saturday and
by wild throw lost the game. He did the same
thing yesterday. Now. there is no disposition
here to criticise the Players for their errors. 1t
ID not reasonable to suppose that player who
has been on the bench all the season can go in
game and play without error. especially at
short or third. which are harder to play this
year than ever before. The blame Is due the
manager who makes such innovations needlessly.

I still have considerable faith in our home
team, says q base ball writer in the Pittsburg
Dispatch. They have played some remarkably
good games. even though they may have lost some
Of them. None Of Us can, so far, withhold kind
words from Manager Buckenberger for the
very good condition in which he has his men.
and also for the very good feeling that exists
among them. We should remember that hardly
any Of the teams tina: have faced our home
players have PLAYED their bad games against the
Pittsburgers. They seem to have all been at
their best.
Timely hitting has been somewhat Of an alb
sent feature among the home PLAYERS the past
week, and until Beckley and one or two others
can get their "eye" on the ball We may expect
to lose . few close games that We could other
wise win.
The pitchers are hardly as good a. they will
be. The contests of the week have shown this
clearly enough Terry will certainly be better
- the weather gets warmer, and have great
faith in Kilien doing very good work. He will
Be winner II all goes right Gastright will
also be better. and altogether there is much to
e1pecs from the team; IN fact, much more than
they even have done.

Capt. Ward OF New York was no. very we'll
pleased with the result Of yesterdays game in

speaking Of the New Yorks he said: II have
not the slightest doubt we will be up at the top
when the season closes. Thus far our pitchers
have been prevented by the cold and unfavor-
able weather from doing their best work, but
II the present hot weather continues they will
soon be in condition to fool the best batsmen.

fore this season never played together, and
they have not become accustomed to each

however, and then We will creep steadily to the
top. The Baltimores have a surprisingly good
team and play ball like veterans instead of
youngsters. II their pitchers turn out we'll

AFTER THE JOB BROTHERS
What Has Been Done to Recover the
Agricultural College
Money.

The Executive committee and Build
ing committee of the Regents of the
State Agricultural college at Corvallis
met in Salem yesterday to consider
school finances and buildings. About
Sl6,0 600 in warrants was issued to the
treasurer, DIR. J. NJ. Applewhite These
are not available however, but draw
per cent interest, and are stamped mot
paid for want of funds" The college
gets $3.50 quarterly from Washington
for the station work, and it is thought
by the regents present that the school
had enough funds to run this year If
the state warrants can be cashed by the
latter part of the year.
THE sHIPLEY DEFALCATION
was discussed and some light is thrown
on the matter. A few days before the
bank closed Treasurer Shipley drew a
$4,000 warrant of the state treasurer,
out of a $4,000 appropriation and de-
posted it with Hamilton, Job & Co.
They endorsed it aud sent it to Ladd d
Tilton to pay debt they owed there
and the state treasurer cashed it with
their endorsement. They practically
paid a private bank balance with pub
lie money. That is a matter of record
that will be shown in due season.
Proceedings will be begun by the
Executive committee both criminal
and Oh the bond of J. B. Shipley, de-
ceased. 1t was plainly a violation OF
the statute forbiddlng bankers to use
public funds or draw the interest on
them, and the most vigorous steps will
be taken by the state to save itself.
Judge Boise of the regents Is acting
with Judge John Burnett of Corvallis
as counsel for the state.
