In the last game of the season the
Washburn team managed to work the
interest of the spectators up to the ex-
element stage by holding the business
students down to a close game Bad
umpiring by Hutchins helped the Wash
burn team and saved them from defeat
In fact next to the ball playing by the
two teams the feature of the contest
was the inability of Hutchins to decide
correctly. He was of on balls and
strikes for u innings. In the eighth
inning the business college won the
game but Hutchins saved Washburn by
calling a fair ball a foul. 1t was in the
eighth that the T. B. c. team filled the
bases. There were no outs Marshall
dropped a neat hit past first that fell
five feet inside the foul line. Before 1t
could be gathered in by Bush, the new
right fielder Of the Washburn team, two
business college men had crossed the
plate. Bush made a wild throw over
Mehl. The ball was stopped by the
fence and another man crossed the
plate. Hutchins called the hit a foul.
His decision at the bases favored the
Washburn players and when Bush
knocked a foul into the grand stand
and then struck at the ball and Hutch
ms refused to call but one strike,
claiming that the batter did not strike
at the ball, the crowd was Disguised
with him Hutchins may be good
barber but his baseball eye is decidedly
bad.

rumbling around the bases by a noun

throw to Coldren at third and Stahl
scored. Griggs was standing on third.
Coldren was sleeping the sleep Of the
just when Nehl sent the ball at him.
Coldren did not see it until it had pass

weeds. Griggs scored.

a two base hit and put Allen on third.

Cook raped out a single and Kilby
crossed the plate tying the score. Mehl

The greatest surprise was that fur

playing of the season it was something
of a sensation for the team to play II
innings in such a manner. The business

HALL GAME ON THE KING.
Novelist,s striking Tribute to His

NOveIist's Striking Tribute to His
Master, Edward VII.
Hall Caine speaks wisely and feel
ingly of England's tribulation, writes
the London correspondent Of the New
Fork World. He says:
During the past three years Eng
land has passed through a sea of trou-
bic and during the past three days
through the very waters of Marah.
"a little while ago she was like
Rachel weeping for her children; today
she is like bride decked for her
bridal but robbed of her bridegroom

fullness of its disappointment. That
man is the king himself
1.-THE day on which a king is crowned
is the apex of his career, his culminat-
ing glory, to be looked back upon to
the last hour of his life. That great
day has thus far been denied Edward
VII, who, like Moses, has been
brought within sight of the promised
land, but who has not yet been per
nIitted to enter it.
"But there is another aspect to this
event which the kings subjects might
better see than the king himself the
moral aspect, as distinguished from
the physical one. In the coronation
ceremony there would have been no
more solemn moment than that in
which people would have been called
upon to signify their homage by a
great shout of willing assent.
''That shout has not been heard in
the place intended for it. But a far
greater cry has reverberated through
a far greater temple-the cry from the
hearts of the British people which
echoed through the British empire

RUSSIA AND MANCHURIA.

Count Cassini Makes "a Statement of
Muscovite Plans In the Orient.
Count Cassini, the Russian embassa-
dor at Washington, was recently In
terviewed by the New York World
correspondent about Lord Cranborne'S
statement in parliament that Britain
has been notified that negotiations are
proceeding for the evacuation of Man
churia by Russia and that it is ex-
pected that Manchuria will soon be
restored to Chinese control. Count
Cassini said:
1.-THE assertion that negotiations are
proceeding for the evacuation Of Man.
churia by Russia is hardly frank. Man
churia has been returned to Chinese
sia's original promise and programme.
Russian forces still hold New
chwang, and it is plainly understood
by every cabinet throughout the world
that we will continue to hold that
port as long as Tientsin is occupied by
the forces of governments foreign to
China. We hold Newchwang as
guarantee for the evacuation Of Tien-
tsin and are prepared to return New
chwang and it's railroad connections
to the Chinese administration when
ever the corresponding obligations are
discharged at Tientsin."
The count further explained as fol-
lows:
SIN answer to oft repeated questions
I may repeat the position of Russia.
Manchuria was occupied by Russian
forces because the Chinese regular
troops invaded Russian territory prop
er and began war with u.s. We drove
them back and temporarily occupied a
part of their territory. AS an act Of
conquest aud reprisal Russia was en-
titled to the sovereignty of Manchuria.
Sat the beginning of hostilities Rus
STA announced that no policy of ag-
grandizement animated her policies.
When peace was secured. Russia grad
ually evacuated Chinese territory, re
turning it to the Chinese. We had
conquered it. We held it. Had we
coveted Manchuria where was the
power to drive US out? Russia held
AIanchuria with an overwhelming
force. Nothing equal to it could have
been modified in China.
.Manchuria was restored to China
in compliance with the uncoerced good
faith of Russia and in accordance with
a programme announced at the time
we were repelling an actual war. New
chwang and similar territory will be
treated in the same way"

Latest Bathing suits.

Overshadowed is the familiar fan
mel and serge bathing suit this year by
an array of pongees, silks and other
fabrics in many colors, following the
mode in other lines of dress, says the
New York Press. Black and white
checks are to be as fashionable in the
water as on the street. Pongee and
other materials of that color, including
linen, are exceedingly stylish. Some
of these are made up plain, but others
are trimmed with straps or bands In
white or black. stitched in tailor fash
ion. Red is a color that is seen in
some of the new suits, but is rather
too striking for most women.

Here is an amusing bit Of criticism

The First Jungle Book" has been
translated into italian under the title

book says that "Kipling's art is rough
and rude. but that he may in certain re-
spects be compared to Poe" This is
delightful. and it shows that transla-
tons from English into Italian are
sometimes as bad as translations
from Italian into English: In what

minds one Of Poe is probably known
