The Greek ecclesiastical authorities
at Aleppo have been called upon to de-
eide case which strongly recalls Solo
mons famous Judgment. BY strange
coincidence a woman and her daugh-
ter both gave birth to a female child at
the same time. But the babies got
mixed. and as one of them was ugly
and the other pretty and healthy both
mothers claimed the latter The elder
woman maintained that, as all her 9th
er children were handsome, the ugly
child could not be hers, while her daugh-
ter claimed that, being young. hand
some and strong, she could not be the
mother of n weak and ugly baby. The
religious chief of the town settled the
affair in summary way. He adjudged
the beautiful child to the daughter on
the ground that, ii being her first. the
occasion was not TO be made one of hui
initiation and disappointment, while
the elder mother could afford 10 foregc

The last game of the present series be-
tween the Senators and Quakers, which
was played at National Park yesterday,
was remarkable in many respects.
In the first place, the Phillies had their
batting clothes on and established a rec
ord which will probably stand for long
time. Frank Killen, who officiated on the
rubber for the home team during the first
four innings, was hit safely eight times,
while Dunkle. who finished out the con-
test, was touched up for sixteen safe drives,
making a grand total of twenty-four hits
for thirty eight bases.
The climax of this slaughter OF pitchers
was reached in the visitors half of the
ninth inning. when they hammered cut
two home runs. a triple, and four singles.
The mighty Delehanty easily led in the
slugging, a home run, two-bagger. and
three singles being placed to his credit,
while Flick and Cooley were close behind
him with four hits each. Mcfarland land
ed on the sphere for three safe drives,
Cross and Lauder being the only Quakers
who failed to make more than one hit.
No club in the League could have played
a steadier game in the face of such a fu-
sillade than the Senators did. As general
thing, a team will lose heart and go to
pieces when the pitcher is being batted
hard. The home team. however, did not
show the least sign Of discouragement, but
stuck bravely at their work until the re-
tirement Of the last man precluded the
possibility of redeeming what was already
a hopeless cause. Just how good was the
support accorded the pitchers in the field
is shown by the error column. but two
misplays being charged against Washing
ton, neither of which was very costly.
Wheeler. who was in the box for the
Phillies, was as steady as clock. Casey.
Freeman, Farrell. and Dunkle were the
only Senators able to find him. and they
could not hit him for more than one base.
Three of the four hits made by the locals
came in the fifth inning. scoring two runs,
which saved them from a shut-out.
This afternoon the champion Bostons
will begin series Of four games with
