Likes to Travel it.

The fellow who got off
the following is no mans
fool, History will say that
he was a philosopher among
philosophers, a student who
understood his subject we'll.
He is a critic who has not
confined his usefulness to
building fine phrases in an
effort to be funny at the ex-
pense of his fellows. Each
sentence~is pregnant with an
overflowing truth which it
would be mere folly for us
to deny. He says;
"Man's life is full Of cross
es and temptations, He
comes Into the world without
his consent and goes out OF
it against his will, and his
trip between the two eternl-
ties is exceedingly rocky.
The rule of contrariness is
one of the important features
of the trip. When he is lit
tie the grown girls kiss him
and when he is grown the
little girls kiss him. If he
raises a large family he is
called Mustard, but II he
raises a small check he is a
thief and a fraud and shun'
ned like a Chinaman with
the seven-year itch. If he is
poor he is a bad manager; II
he is rich, he is dishonest; II
he is in politics it's for pie; if
he is out of pclitics you can't
tell where to place him and
he is no good to his country;
if he does an act of charity
it is for policy; if he wont
give to charity he is a Stingy
cusS who lives for himself
only; if he dies young there
was a great future ahead of
him; if he lives to old age he
has missed his calling He
is introduced to the world by
a doctor and to the next
world by the same process,

TtO0 Points of Vie,c,

The chances of war are
shaping a new destiny for
the United States and it has
become the popular delusion
to point at England as an
example of the great and
good results which follow a
policy of territorial agrees
ion, annexation or colonial
extension, which ever term
may suit the exigencies Of
the case.

abandoned all hope of winning the
pennant. and, as an economic meas
ure. the proprietors gave notices Of
release to Manager Schmelz, Capt.
Campau. Second Baseman Smith,
Pitcher Wright and Outfielder Lally.
who have been the high salaried men
of the concern
The result was that it was some
what dispirited aggregation of base
ballists that confronted Comiskey's
men at Lexington park yesterday af-
ternoon.
Wright. however, seemed determined
TO make the best of a bad Job, and
pitched for all there was in him, so
that the locals only secured five runs,
and fielding errors behind Phyle gave
the Millers nearly that many to which
they were not entitled
1t seemed to be case of 1--WE don't
care" with the Millers. and you're
too easy" with the Apostles.
Rice opened the game with a pop-up
to Glasscock, but Letcher hit a high
fly. which fell in center field Geier
had plenty of time to get under, but
was evidently blinded by the sun
Letcher went to second on it. Cam
pau hit to Shugart and was thrown
out, and the side should have been re-
tired when Lally also hit one down
that way. But Glasscock muffed the
thrown ball. and Lally was safe, while
Letcher scored from third.
Carey was struck out He made
some offensive remarks to the umpire,
and was put out of the game, Letcher
coming to first. while Davis, the left
handed fielder recently released by De-
troit, filled the vacancy in the out
field
Burke batted a hot one through
Smith. but was doubled out on Mil
ler's bunt, which went in the air to
Wright Glenalvin hit a safe one over
second, but Glasscock was thrown out
by Rice
Smith only hit Phyle an easy one,
reached for it, but it went through his
hands like a shot, and was safe
Phyle, however, threw out Ritter, and
Wright famed the air.
1t was st. Paul's turn to score when
Geier opened the half with grounder
just north of Letcher. Shugart sacri-
feed, and Gillen hit hard one down
the center of the diamond
1t struck Wright in the back of the
head, caromed into the air, and fell
In the outfield. Geier scored, and Gil
len went to second on a throw toward
the plate. Phyle gave Campau a fly
Rice opened the third with a ground
Ell W SHuSdrt, WHO gave GlaSScOck n
fast throw. Jack, instead Of covering
the sack. tried to poke the ball through
Rice's ribs, and it was knocked from
his hand. Rice stole second and went
to third when Spies threw the ball far
over the second baseman's head.
Letcher fouled to Spies, and Campau
struck out, but Lally got in safe hit
close to the right foul line and scored
an additional run before Davis flew
out to Gillen.
Rice threw out Burke, and Miller,

caught trying to steal second Glenal-
vim hit sharp one to Letcher who
got his hands on it, shot 1t to Smith,
who then threw it to Wright who had
hurried to cover first base.
Smith started off the fourth with
a safe drive and a run seemed inevita-
BILE. but Reilly sacrificed and the next
two struck out.
Geier out at first before Shugart's
grounder gave the locals a start. ,Shu-
CART stole second. Rice made bad
throw to catch Gillen. and Shugart tied
the score. Spies sent Rice fly.
Rice opened the fifth with hot ,ne
which both Phyl, and Glenalvin tried
to field. Letcher hunted, and Phy,a
threw wild into center field. Geier did
not get the ball up clearly again and
Rice scored. while Letcher went on to
third. Campau went out on a short
one to Phyle, but Lally hit sharp one
which it took both Phyle and Shugart
to field, and Letcher scored, giving the
visitors two to the good. Flies to Davis
and Lally and Burke's strike out killed
the safe single that Miller put back of
second base.
Smith and Reilly opened the sixth
with singles. but signals were given fer
double steal which Smith evidently
did not get, for he was nipped off the
base after Reilly came down there. Gil
len threw out Ritter, and Wright again
famed
Glasscock let high one down safe
in left field. and Geier was given a
base. Wright hit Shugart and filed
the sacks with no one out, but Gillen
hit hard grounder down the line to
third base. Reilly touched the sack
retiring Geier, but relieving Glasscock
from the force out. Reilly threw to
Ritter. who neglected to put the ball
on Jack, and he scored. The Millers
claimed not only ar. out on him. but
at first base, but they did not get any
of these things, The argument, how
ever. lasted several minutes, and at it's
close Spies hit to Reilly and was
thrown out. Phyle, however. lined a
single over second base, scoring Shu-
CART. Reilly gathered in Burke's liner
and again the innings were even with
the runs the same.
Rice hit to Gillen, who threw to
GlasScock, but Jack again tried to poke
the sphere through the runners ribs.
and 1t fell from his hands. Letchers
grounder to Glenalvin and Campaus
fly to Miller each advanced Rice a
sack. but he was left at third when
after Lally's base on balls, Davis flew
to Geier
Miller put a grounder over short and
went to second on Glenalyin's sacrifice.
TGlasseeck flew out to Davis, but Geier
waited for four and Miller scored the
winning run when Shugart drove the
ball well out in left field for two sacks.
Rice's star catch on Gillen's fly ended
the inning abruptly
Shugart threw out Smith and Reilly
flow to GleEalvin. Ritter put Phyle on
easy street for few minutes by fine
three base drive away back of Burke,
but Wright hit one in the air for Geier
and ended the agony.
Spies was thrown out by Rice, and
Wright. settling down, struck out the
next two.
But Rice hit a pop-up to Glenalvin,
and the others sent long drives to
Burke's garden which he caught safely,
and the headless last chance was gone.
