Safety of His Government.

Safety of His Government.
BERLIN, GermaDy.-In a letter from the
King of Greece TO the Gar the King explains
that the action OF Greece in sen1ing u
fiotilla to Crete was necessary for the safety
of his own Government and tbs preservation
OF Internal order.
The King says he is willing to trust to the
Powers to do justice in respect OF the de-
mands of Greece In Crete.
All accounts agree that the Greek people
are in Il state of frantic excitement, and are
unanimous for war. There is little doubt
that the King would be driven from the
country If he ventured to oppose them.
The diplomats at Constantinople have ac-
cepted Great Britain's proposals for a joint
naval occupation of Canea, Retimo and
Heraklion, the removal from Cretan waters
Of the Greek feet and the forbiddance of the
despatch to Crete of Turkish achievements.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, June 2l.-St.
Paul won another game from Milwau-
kee today in one of the most exciting
games played at Milwaukee park, and
the 1900 people who witnessed the con-
test were nearly as we'll satisfied with
the result as though the Brewers had
won. Taylor did some magnificent
pitching, and ISbell vas also extreme
ly effective, and the fielding of both
teams was brilliant, HollingswOrth,
Lewee, Stafford and DAILY carrying
off the honors, while Preston and
Lewee did the best batting. Blake made
his appearance in right field, and While
he was fast he did not come up to eX-
pectatiOns. Nc runs were scored until
the second inning, and st. Paul drew
first blood. Taylor hit Preston, who
stole second and scored on Speer's muff
of Myers throw to the plate. In the
Brewers half DAILY led off with a two-
Dagger and tailed on Speer's long fly.
In the fourth Glasscock raped out a
double. Stafford's wild throw to Sec
ond while attempting a double play
sent him to third, and Shugarts single
brought him home. The fifth brought
two runs in for Milwaukee, Lewee's
Single, Taylor's triple and Weaver's hit
giving the Brewers a lead of n tally,
but in the seventh the score was tied
by the Saints, Preston's home run, that
either Blake or Nicol should have TAX

In their half the Brewers had W men

OBSERVATION DAY.
All the Crews Out for Practice at
POughkeepsie.

POUGHKEEPSIE. N. Y, June 21.-This
was observation day and altogether it was
tne most important day preceding the big
races. Everybody saw everybody else work
any everybody is pretty we'll satisfied that his
crew is the best and that there will be one
OF the hardest fought contests In the history
OF aquatlcs. Early in the afternoon Coach
courtney, of the Cornell crew, accepted an in
Vltat1on to go out on the Associated Press
launch. He saw all of the crews with the
exception of Cornell. Coach Cowles had
brought Columbia out for a brief spin and
after taking the crew two miles down the
river and two miles back, allowed them to
go home and then waited also to see the
harvard crews. Coach Cook, of the Yale
crew, went over to look at Harvard. Mr..
courtney declined to say anything about the
chances OF his own crew, but looked thorough
ly we'll pleased with his first observation OF
EarVard's rowing, and said: 81 do not be-
reeve the Harvard crews are owing any fast
er than they rowed last year. They start at
the same quick SO stroke and settle down
to a stroke of "a, trying to set a killing pace"
Then he said, parenthetically, 81 think Yale
can beat Harvard"
Coach Ward, of Pennsylvania, said: 1.-THE
so-cailed longer stroke Of Harvard is not
visible. They make more effort with their
packs. but less with their blades. l think
CorneH,s varsity can defeat Harvard's var
slty crew, as easily as it was done last
year. 1t seems to me that the fight for first
place Will be between Yale and Cornell, with
the chances in favor of Cornell"
Coach Cook rowed about the finish of the
Harvard trial and looked on rather critically,
declining positively to make a public criticism
but he did say to a Yale graduate later on:
Harvard is not rowing as fast as she should.
CornelPS morning practice was fast"
The agreement for the race for Friday was
signed today and provides that the varsity
race shall take place between the hours Of
800 and $50 p; M. to be rowed down the
$50 acts as a postponement to some future
day.

Special to the Globe
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 21.--The Millers
could have won today's game with ridiculous
ease if they had played any other kind of
representation of the national game. The
Blues gave an excellent tail-end exhibition.
and it seemed as though nothing could save
them from defeat, but the seventh inning did
it, when they put five men across the plate
with two little hits. Both teams were list
less. Foreman started to pitch, but had to
retire because of a bad finger. He was sue
ceeded by Bevis, who, in addition to weak
pitching, did some of the s%tupidest fielding
ever seen, until Pitcher Carney rolled all over
q wee little grounder in the seventh, Civ
ing one man life at first and allowing another
to score from third. Carney had little speed
and no control, giving six bases on balls and
second inning, putting four men across the
plate with two singles, two bases On balls
and a triple. They added two more runs
in the fifth ON two doubles and a brace of
singles. The seventh inning was frightful.
WilmOt showed his displeasure by stretching
himself out at full length on the grass in
left field and watching the fumbling. Get
ball to Carney. He fumbled it. Carney sin
gled, filing the sacks. Bannon drew a base,
forcing in Gettinger. Menefee flew out and
McVtcker scored. Blanford knocked the bail
to Carney and went to first while he FUN
bled. and BannOn took occasion to run home
on the misplay. Bevis, who doesn't average
@ hit a month, knocked out a three-bagger
to right, clearing up the bases. The Blues
were well to the fore and seemed to tire in
their efforts at run-getting. Minneanolis he
gan scoring in the third, when Miller drew
b base and came home on Wilmot's three
Dagger to right. Connaughton's tumble of
Cartwright's grounder added another run.

in to rush matters in the first round. and
Ryan contented himself with ducking and side
stepping until the latter part of the round,
when he drove a right to the body that sent
his man staggering against the ropes. In
the second round Ryan started in from the
first to mix matters and landed rights and
lefts on the face and body. Williams dropped
to his knees three times to avoid punishment,
and when he got up Ryan jabbed his right to
the heart and then hooked his left on the
temple. Williams dropped like a log and
