A MAGNETIC OBsERyAToRy.

British aud Germans

The coast and geodetic survey has es-
tabiished a magnetic observatory at Sitka,
Alaska, and is constructing another at
Honolulu, Hawaii, to cooperate with the
British and German governments in in
vestigating problems of the magnetic forces
and needle variations throughout the world
This is In connection with one German and
two British expeditions for the south pole
on plans long ago formulated. The COOP
Grafton of this and other governments was
asked by Germany, and the movement is
now well under way. So far as the prelirnt-
nary work is concerned Il contemplates
magnetic observations at fixed observatories
throughout the world simultaneously with
the actual scientific researches In the south
polar regions. Both the American ohser-
vatories Will be ready to assume their mart

years, and its value is largely dependent

DIAMOND DUST.
The Saints go to Des Moines today.
They will play three games with the
Iowa team and three games at Omaha,
and will then return home while Omaha
and Des Moines return the visits.
Yesterdays first game was replete with
mishaps. Brain was badly spiked and
billiard was hit in the head with
pitched ball, but both continued to play.
Huggins wrenched his shoulder and had
to quit.
Check might have won out yesterday
although the Millers hit him hard, but

Check cannot be blamed for the loss
1t was asking too much of him to put him
In against the Millers the third time.
The crowd that assembled at Lexington
yesterday afternoon was a record break
er Nearly 10000 people passed through
the gates. 1t was undoubtedly the dis
appointed Fourth of July crowd. Judg
lnG from the noise at different times
the crowd was evenly divided between
the two cities. This crowd has never
been equaled at Lexington, even in the
days of ComiSkey.
The Saints go away at the bottom of
the first division. If they can win half
their games away from home they should
return at least as good as they go away.
By the time they get back Curley and

in the game regularly, and then the team
ShCuld begin to move up the ladder. Es-
peciallY will this be true if the manage
ment can find a pitcher to add to the
staff.
Holmes is playing a great first base
and it is more than probable, now that
Lattimer has been tried and found sat
isfactory, that he will be kept on the
bag permanently. "Ducky" is hitting at
fair clip and is coping up all the
throws that come within a reasonable dis

w eStcrn League.

Willie McGln won two games from
Kansas City once upon a time. For this
much credit is due and much credit has
been given. but Willie cannot live forever
on that credit. Since winning the last
Kansas City game he has been sent to
the slab four different times and on two
OF these occasions it has been found
necessary to relieve him after he had lost
the game, while he lost the other two
without Being assisted. The last occasion
was in the final game OF yesterdays dou-
ble-header with Minneapolis With Cogan
in the box The Saints walked away with
the first game. 1t is true that Cogan
was ably assisted by the rank work Of
the MillerS in the field, but this was no
reason why McCil should pity ana hand
them the second contest. Willie allowed
but two hits in the three ana a third
innings that he pitched, but this was
because he seldom got the bali near
enough the plate fer the Millers to con-
meet with it, After McGin was sent TO
the Stable Check was called in and he
made a noble effort, both in the box
and at bat, but the work Of McGiIl had
sent the whole team in the air and the
Millcrs won out with a batting rally in
the eighth.
In the first game Cogan vas pitted

The Saints went to bat first in the sec
ond game with Wadsworth in the box
Tor Minneapolis and McGnl on the slab
for the home team. Lippert started off
with a dinky hit to Wadsworth and
went out at first. Dnlard fell in with
'"Waddie's" lobs from the first and
lammed one over the center tielders
head for three bags. Ryan scored him
with clean single and ii began to look
easy when Brain reached first on Laws
error on COckman's throw. Holly sac
Iiticed and advanced both runners, but
Curley's long fly to center was pulled
down by Congalton and it was all Off
The Millers failed to connect with the

Creede free pass and this was follow
ed by three errors and Mac scored In
the second and third both sides were
banked and the Saints also drew a goose
egg in their half of the fourth McGul
had been wild from the start and in the

wide ones to the first two up. Then
Cockman attempted to sacrifice and beat
the ball to first. With the bases full
Mcconnell hammered the ball across the

AT this point Ryan took q hand in the
game and sent McGll out There was

by striking out Wadsworth, and Nc
Creedie went to Inc bench on a lily to
Ryan, but Robe picked out one that ne
fancied and put it over Ryans head for
three bags, scoring the two men on
bases. That gave the Millers a lead of

six singles and two-bagger coupled
with two errors, put them one to the
good. After that they had hard work
getting man to first base, while the
