men from st. Thomas college yester-
day at Lexington park. 1t was the
poorest game Of those played I'D to

team Is hardly up to the standard Of
the Exports and the Hamlines.
Doggie Miller, for Comiskey's men,
was the only one out Of his regular
position. Doggie's leg has not yet
mended sufficiently to allow him in the
game, and Willie Phyle did honors in
the right garden. Jack Glasscock was
back again at first. and not one of his
sixteen chances was allowed to slip.
Roger Denzer pitched the first four
innings of the game and allowed his
opponents but one hit during that time
The first man up walked on four wide
Ones and in the third inning the same
man was again favored. Roger had
any amount of speed. and put them
into Spies init with the speed of a.
cannon ball.
In the nth inning a young man by
the name of Patterson was put in the
box for two innings, and during the
last three innings Mr. Cox, of Wiscon-
SIM was tried. Both men are aspirants
for positions on a league team, but will
hardly do at present.
Delaney, the twirler for the ST
Thomas boys, was hit rather hard in
punches. and these, with fifteen errors
dropped in here and there. enabled the
Saints to accumulate about as many
runs as they wanted. Some of the
amateurs suffered from stage fright

Miss Alice Cooley, supervisor Of pri-
mary work in the public schools Of Min
neapolis, addressed large audience Of
teachers yesterday afternoon in Assem-
bly, hall. on Primary Education"
Miss Cooley was introduced by Supt.
Curtis. y ~
Primary education had, she said, be-
come necessary in the last epoch be-
cause of the difference Of life as COM
pared with that of fifty years ago. "Our
fathers ard mothers never heard Of
such a thing as primary education,
and yet in the time in which they
lived the conditions were such
as to inspire self-reliance and edu-
cation. The inventions of half cen
fury and the great strides in moder-
nizstion had taken away from childish
hands the few things which they might
have done of usefulness to themselves.
Thus it had become necessary for our
advance in this direction by the edu-
Gators of the country"
Miss Cooley spoke of the general
adoption Of primary systems when in
terspread with the common, branches
She emphasized the necessity of the
co-operation between the home and the
school.
The school unions were doing noble
work in this direction.
