Miss HENRIETTA BAINBRIDGE
RICHARDSON is mad, yes, real mad,
because she-may not have the
honor OF christening the new bat
tleship Kentucky. This pleasant
and distinguished duty will de-
volve upon the daughter OF Ken
tucky's Governor and Miss
Richardson does not like it. OF
course scarcely anything can be
conducted in Kentucky without a
fuss or feud-World's Fair Com
mission, Daughters Of American
Revolution, or what not. But
whatever the merits of the case
Miss Richardson, we fear, does not
add greatly to her laurels by her
apparently sneering reference, in
a public card, to the Grades
people" of Kentucky, from whom
have come petitions asking the Gov
ernor to appoint his daughter.
To the credit of Governor Brad
ley and his daughter they
have declined to be parties
TO controversy upon the
question. Miss Bradley, with true
womanly modesty, declined to ac-
cept the appointment which it was
understood her father would make.
The Governor could not we'll APP
point Miss Richardson, so he re-
ferred the matter back to Secre-
tary Long, who has now himself
asked Miss Bradley to accept the
honor.

s to in our balance in the fifth in
ming Sham Myers, with two out and
two Buffaloes on the bases, lifted one
over the fence, putting the score Sd.
The squat came in the seventh inning,
when with the bases full, Reed hit to
Knau at short. Looie picked it up
nicely. Instead of tossing the ball to
Weber at second for a double, he tried
to make the play himself and threw
wild to GConnor on first. Mike picked
up the ball and threw to Stanley at the
plate and when the dust had cleared
the visitors had three EIore runs to
their credit. The score was a tie. We
were shut out in the seventh and
eighth. and it was in the last inning,
with two out, that when Matt Stanley
got his home run drive. Houston fall

But for Mat Stanley's sky-scraper
Mike o'Connor and his men would
have worked over time yesterday af-
ternoon. The situation looked awful
squally for while, and the Houston
players became so inspired with hopes
that they got real sassy. Dickie Knox
and Bob Fender got on the lines, and
the only person that they had any de-
sire of consulting was George Gilpat-
rick, who performed on the slab on
that particular occasion. Well, George
was too busy to talk, and not in a
mood to have anybody talking to him.
Mr.. Brennan asked Messrs Knox and
Fender to confine their remarks to the
Houston players, who were at the
time on the bases, but they would nit.
Then he made them be good. and or
dered them to their seats The game
was then allowed to proceed peaceful
ly. In the way of Mr.. Brennan's rul-
ing, it is an old established rule that
coachers should address no one but
the baserunners, while Pender and
Knox persistently addressed their re-
marks to no one but Gilpatrick.
AS for the game, the Bronchos had it

The returns received by the immi-
