Eastern Athletic Club.
The management of the Eastern h

ball team in the field. and it's makeup
will include nearly all the players who
for the past four or five years have made
1t possible for the club to hold the cham
pionshp among local athletic organiza-
TONS
As soon as the weather permits, the
players will begin practice for a series Of
games preliminary to the regular season.
Among the first of the games TO be played
will be one with Manning's American
League team. A series of games will
probably be arranged with McGraw's Bal
timore team.
The management would like to arrange
a game with Georgetown University, but
as the latter under the inter coll agiate
agreement is prevented from playing
against all athletic clubs. It is not likely
that these crack teams will meet.
1t has not been decided IL the team viii
be a member OF local amateur league
or whether it will simply confne itself to
playing match games with local and out
of-town mines.

CannibaI Trout

The canuibaliStic proclivities of
the common river front have been
strikingly demonstrated in the
case of trout caught on the
Tweed, at Hempsford, Kelso.
While Mr.. Z. q. Bond was fishing
in the stream at this place with
worms he hooked large trout and
duly landed the fish. The angler
was not little surprised to dis
cover the tail Of smaller trout
protrudlng to the extent of two or
three inches from the mouth of the
captive. The larger fish weighed
about Ia pounds and measured IS
inches in length, while his month
full, after being taken from his
outlet, weighed fully 4 pound and
measured about So inches long.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 14.-No
relief came to-day to break the almost
unprecedented drouth in the southwest.
The day was a repetition of the past two
weeks with reports from many places
In western Missouri, Kansas and the
Territories Of temperatures OF over the
100 mark. At most places the sun shone
mercilessly with not a cloud nor a
breeze to break its rays. In Kansas
City, last night proved more bearable,
a breeze from the north alternating the
conditions, but a day of intense heat
followed.
Tonight there Is a prospect Of rain
In Oklahoma, but there are no indica-
tions of a change from any part of the
southwest. With no relief in sight the
fears for the crops are fast becoming
realities and the scarcity of water and
generally dry conditions make the ele-
ment of fire a most serious one. What
the real damage to corn. the crop most
affected, will be is problematical, but 1t
Us probably safe to say that half the
crop will be lost. The supply of water
is short in almost every direction and
the shipment of cattle and hogs to the
market to save them must continue,
In Kansas City to-day the government
thermometer reached 102, and at Marys-
vile, Kansas, 104 was recorded, against
100 yesterday. There we're three pros
trations at Marysville.
