The Season Opens.

The first games of the season were
played on the Union diamond Friday
aud Saturday between York and
Union. These being the first games
our people have had an opportunity
of witnessing, there was very god
crowd out at each game, and the
games while not up to the standard
that we would like to see, were sutH-
ciently interesting to entertain the
crowd, and offered an opportunity for
the rooters on the bleachers to exer-
else their lungs. There were some
very good plays on both sides and
some bad errors also.
McMakin and Shaw was the battery
for York the frs. evening while Nc
Intyre and Bradley did the battery
act for Union. We took tho RECORD
of ths game, runs, hits, errors, etc.
but we have not sufficient space for it
so we will defer this kind of write. vi
until our team gets in shape to pla.

While nearly every nation. the Unit

to China. the Chinese minister at
Washington insists that there is no
war, The distinction he makes may
seem distinction without difference,
but the definition OF war is matter
OF some practical Importance. partlcu-
larly to the president who commands
the army and navy. "The congress
shall have power to declare war" The
president cannot do Il himself, He
can send a military force to protect
American citizens in China. but to en-
ter into war with that country. with
out a declaration from anybody and
while its accredited representative dis
ayows warlike intentions, is outside the
range Of his constitutional powers.
Somebody at Washington appears to
have thought Of this. We read a sug-
gestion that it may be necessary to
summon congress to declare war up
on China. But a simpler plan would
be to abstain from war. What do
We want to fight China for? Are not
the Filipinos enough?
