Duluth. Mimi, Jan. 25.-The first OF the
int er-distrct series of debates between
schools represented in the state debating
league, took place last night at the high
school auditorium. The teams contest
ing we're st. Cloud and Duluth.
According to the terms Of the league s
makeup. the winning school in each con-
gressional district debates against the
leading team of it's neighboring section
until the contest narroWs to Two teams
who will meet in final contest at the
university BY this same agreement Du-
luth and ST. Cloud got their respective
dist riots by default, no other school nav"
ing entered in these districts
The subject for all the debates is, Re
solved: That Capital Punishment Should
Be Abolished" AS this was given out
months ago. all the teams have had time
in which to prepare good arguments and
perfect delivery. st. Cloud took the at
firInatiVe.
Last nights debate was before a large
audience, chiefly high school students.
Duluth's team was Esther Searle, Sumner
Smith and Louis Zalk; st. Clouds S.
Thomas Branley, Thomas Ervine and Ran
dali Harrison. The judges were two
two members of the Superior normal fac
ulty and Duluth attorney.
The debate occupied two hours and was
stronger were ST. Cloud arguments and sc
clearly did Branley and associates answer
the arguments on the negative that tbs
decision of the judges was by to 1 on
the first ballot favorable to them.
Duluth's delivery was possibly smoother
though st. Cloud was excellent in this
regard also, but it was largely sharpness
of statement and quickness in argument
and answer that won. The Duluth school
! is therefore entirely out of the contest
this year.

times and the contestants on both sides
were often cheered as they scored their
point. The ready wit manifested by the
debaters was remarkable and-all went to
show the results Of much reading and
training. The familiarity with the SUBJ

STRAIT ed that high school scholars are cap
able of handling difficult propositions
Never before has such large numbers

the Danish West Indian islands to de-
termine whether they shall be coded to
the United States until the United States
senate has ratified the treaty of cession

League Standing e.
Pickups.

There were several times in Satur-
days game when the Wheel club play
ers allowed their temper to get the
better of their sound judgment and
acted decidedly younger than their
years.
Tommy Guiheen is still playing the
game and seems to be one of the best
infielders in the New England league.
In two games between Dover and Man
chester Saturday Guiheen accepted ID
chances without an error and also bat
ted we'll.
At a meeting of the executive com
mittee of the local league last evening
the question was discussed in regard
to charging the schedule to make up
for the games cancelled on account of
the withdrawal of the High school. 1t
was finally decided to leave the matter
to the captains of the different teams
and if three were favorable to add six
games, making total of % for the sea-
son. or two more than originally
scheduled.
The baseball game tomorrow between
the Y. NJ G. A. and the Catholic un-
ion promises to be of much interest and
will no doubt attract large crowd.
These two teams are tied for second
place and both have been playing
strong ball lately. The Y. NJ. G.. 4.
is conceded to be trihe stronger in
the pitchers box, but has no better
infield than the union and is not made
up of better hitters. The game will
be called at $50.

team was in the lead throughout the
game with the exception of the fourth
inning it was anybody's game until the
end, The Brattleboso boys played bet

hits and having less errors but they
lost the game partly through poor base
running and partly because they could
not bunch their. hits The features of
the game were the battery work of

work on second. Ferriter kept up his
good work at bat making two hits with

COULDN'T BEAT THE LEADERS.
Wheel Club Baseball Team Defeated by Dun
ham Brothers by Score of l2-6-Matters
Were Even Until the Sixth When the Shoe
men Pulled Away and Won.

Were Even Until the Slxth When the ohoe'
men Pulled Away and Won.
The Durham Brothers baseball team
intrenched it's position at the head of
the local league Saturday by taking a
game from the Vermont Wheel club,
the second between these teams. The
contest was somewhat disappointing to
the crowd in that it began with snap
that augured something exciting and
finally dwindled to an easy thing for
the shoemen. The crowd was made up
mostly of sympathizers with the pur-
pie and white but their enthusiasm di-
minished toward the end when the
club men failed to hold the lead they
had secured in the fifth and allowed
times in the last four innings. The
wearers of the purple had some hard
luck but their defeat was not due sole
ly to that fact. Twice or three times
men were left on bases when anything
but dopey base running would have
meant scores. In the seventh inning
with two men on bases Gibson pound
ed into right field a fly that looked like
homer but Stowell galloped out into
the tall grass and ate it, retiring the
side and spelling an elegant chance to
tie the score.
The pitching of Williamson for the
Wheel club was decidedly cratic. Al
times he was invincible and retired
men in one, two, three order but he
seemed to have the determination to
make wild pitches when men We're on
second and third, Two shoemen scored
on these faults alone, All Williamson
needs is control and judgment He
has the most speed and the best curves
of any pitcher in the league Stolte
and Carl Ellis fielded their positions
well. the latter handling several hot
grounders like veteran. Fucker
pulled in two difficult flies in center
and Stowell made good by catching
the long hit already mentioned.
