With regard to withdrawal, it is
stated emphatically that the Pres

purpose to direct General Chsff.e to
retire from Picking unless Ru sin

ample, may station small guards ia

As Director Sheng aud other Chi.

preston seems to be that the B ,rlin
government will ia her case urge

that Prince Tuan, as the responsi-

The base ball representatives of
Central Pennsylvania College aug
mented by two or three players
from the Susquehanna University
team lined up against Normal Mon
day afternoon. From the very start
the inequality Of the two clubs was
apparent and the all-around superior
strength of the Normalites made
the game farce. Captain Hayes
changed his men around in about
every way that his ingenuity could
suggest, and even then the visitors
were dead easy" The poor show
ing made against other teams pre-
ceded the aggregation to this town,
and as a result the spectators were
few in number. Score
