interesting Game of Base hall mt the
Exposition.

The cold winds blew a chilly blast over
the little crowd huddled on the grands tand
at the exposition race course Saturday
afternoon to witness a game of ball be-
tween the Omaha Brewing association team
and the Havelock aggregation. The game
did not lag at any stage, but the shivering
crowd felt the cold, damp wind too much to
get up any enthusiasm. Both teams made
double plays at times that elected feeble
indications OF life from the bleachers, The
game in detail follows:
Havelock at bat landed two runs. Omaha
mex made a score over Havelock. In the
second Scully hit wild of an easy fly and
allowed one man to reach first, but failed
to score before the side was out. There
WAS a goose egg for both at the end.
Another goose egg doomed up in the third.
In the fourth inning the teams made twin
lays of goose eggs, In the nth Omaha
made a run and also one in the sixth in
one, two, three order. In the seventh
Omaha pulled in another run and in the
eighth scored four. The game came TO an
end with Havelock failing to score. Jawlor
was hit by Morrison In the early part of
the game and was taken to the Emergency
hospital in the ambulance, but returned TO
the field before the end of the game. Score:

There will be another game this afternoon

The Hague, June "a. ~ M. De Staal,
president Of the peace conference, at a
meeting of the committee Friday, in
troduced the Russian proposals look
ing to the arrest of ornaments and
read declaration disclaiming all in
tention of proposing a reduction of the
ornaments at present. But, he added,
he was of the opinion that if a stand
still could be agreed upon, a reduction
would soon come of itself. All the
powers, he explained, had conferred
with the car relative to the immense
evil of armed peace, and he, M. De
Staal, now appealed to them to devote
their energies towards the arrest of the
continual increase in the cost of armed
peace, which, he asserted, cost more
than tremendous war. sF ~
The work is now SO far advanced that
the conference will probably take a
holiday after June 28, in order to al
low the delegates to refer to their re-
spective governments for final instruc-
