o'connor Pitched Good Game.

o'Connor. who has somewhat of a repu-
tation as college pitcher, was on the
slab for the visitors. and, pitched splen-
did game for his team. Only four OF the
men from over the hills were able u get
a hit off of his delivery.
The Westerners took first swat at the
leather. Bowling could not hit. and struck
out. On an error Dorman got his base,
and when Morgan flied out. he went to
second. Moran made good with hit, and
Dorman skedaddled across the plate with
the first run of the matinee. Drake
and Moran scored. Drake afterward went
out.
The Georgetown lads served up goose
eggs TO their opponents in the first and
second innings. The villanova boys got
together and held the locals down up
to the eighth inning without allowing
them TO score run. In the eighth, how
ever. the locals got busy. and got two
runs over the plate.
The Washington times., 1902-05-15
Lucky in the Ninth.

In the ninth the locals were lucky
again. With two men out, Bowling saun-
tered up to the plate. He got three balls,
and then O'Connor put two beauty strikes
over the center of the plate, but Bowling
was playing the waiting game and did not
hit at them. The next ball served up was
an ideal strike, and Bowling placed it over
the bank and romped home. making five
runs for Georgetown.
In the third inning the visitors got first
sight of the counting slab. Weir drew a
free pass, and when Green hit he scored
the first run for his team. There was
more scoring in the fourth when De
Nancy picked out one to his liking and
made it good for home run. The visit
ors were then blanked up to the eighth
In that inning Weir got his base on balls,
and when Green made good with a hit
he scored. Two men were on the bases
when Mckinley came up, and he lined 1t
down between short and third. 1t looked
very much like a hit, but Morgan wd., vA
the spot, and with a lovely pickup he
nailed De Vaney at second base and
spoiled the visitors chances OF making
any more runs. The score:

was by all odds one Of the most brilliant
plays of the young season. and the Sen
ator was given a great reception when he
came in TO the bench.
One thing that was very generally COM
mented on by the critical element of the
crowd was the fact that Washington has
about as bad lot of base runners as
can easily be imagined.
In the first place. with but one or two
exceptions, the men are terribly slow on
their feet but Manager Lotus intends to
have castors placed under some OF his
choicest tugboats and hire small boys
to push them around the bases.
This matter Of slowness might be over

ment displayed by the men when once

quainted with a pillow. They think the

Ryan's Stupid Base Work.
This was strikingly illustrated in the
fifth inning. Ryan, the first man up.
banged out beautiful double to
left and was advanced to third on Keis-
ter's single. Then wolverton hit foul
Just back of third, which was attended to
by McGraw.
At this juncture Mr.. Ryan took on evil
dences of being dopey. He had all the
time in the world to get back to the sack,
but INDUCED in bluff of chasing for the
home plate This bluff was called in a
second by McGraw. who threw to Gilbert,
and before Ryan realized that he was still
drawing salary for playing ball the umpire
had summoned him in.
Delehanty was the next man that would
have faced Howell, and as Delehanty had
not had any trouble in hitting the Balti-
morean. there was every chance that RYAN
would have been brought home.
The afternoon opened up we'll for Wash

like three thousand and everybody was
in fine trim to give the team rousing
welcome The men Immediately set about
showing they had not forgotten all they
ever knew about how to play the game.

10 FIGHT TIE LIQUoR EVIL

TO FIGHT TIE LIQUOR EVIL
The five days meeting of the Society
of Friends, Oct. 81, at their closing
session, issued the following call to
all the Christian churches;
"We are confident in the belief that
the consensus of opinion in the pro-
fessed Christians of our land is op-
posed to the evils of the liquor traffic,
and we find want of operation in
practical effort TO give effect to this
opinion, because mono OF the prop
ositions heretofore made has met the
approval Of the general Judgment of
Christian people, We recognize that
this is the case In our own body, and
we believe that il is likewise true of
others. AS result, the church exerts
far less influence than it should to
prevent the evils produced by this
great cause Of poverty and GRIND, and
which also is a most serious obstacle
to the spread Of the Gospel.
"Wo are deeply impressed with the
conviction that an earnest effort
should be made to ascertain in what
way Christians can expect any united
influence in this cause, and by what
means they may work together Up
ON what proposition e9n we obtain
practical agreement. We frankly
confess that we are not competent to
solve the problem, but we believe
that by united inquiry and prayeIful
seeking or divine enlightenment, with
a willingness to approach the subject
with an open mind, the united church
may find way by which we can
serve the cause Of Christ and the good
of mankind in seeking the ultimate
elimination Of this stupendous evil.
1--WE thereoro invite the governing
bodies Of the various denominations
of Christians in the United States to
appoint delegates to represent them in
u conference to be held in the city of
Washington, to begin ON the second
Wednesday of March in the year 1906
The decisions Of this conference
should be reached only in practical
unanimity, and therefore it is un-
necessary to indicate any limit to the
proposed representation. We issue
this invitation with an humble reali-
zation of the smallness of our body
as compared with many others, but
we do it under deep sense that this
duty has been laid upon us, and that
God will use the proposed instru-
mentality for the accomplishment of
great good to mankind and for the
glory of His name. "

NEW WONDER BOOK.

An advance copy of the Classification
Book for the Louisiana Purchase Expo
sition at St. Louis in 1908, has been re-
ceived. Fifty-three pages are required
for mere enumeration of the groups
and classes of exhibits. The exhibits of
the entire exposition are divided into
fifteen departments, as follows: Edu-
cation, eight groups art, six groups;
liberal arts, thirteen groups; manu-
facturers, thirty-four groups; transpor-
tation, six groups; agriculture, twenty
seven groups; horticulture, seven
groups forestry, three groups; mining
and metallurgy, five groups; anthropo-
logy, four groups; social economy,
thirteen groups physical culture, three
groups. The total shows IA groups
and 807 classes, and under each class is
a possibility for multitude of exhibits.
Nothing reflects more clearly in so small
space, the variety of human occupa-
tions, or more comprehensively the
broad scope of the great exposition
which the people of St. Louis are pre-
pairing for next year. A place is pro-
vided for every conceivable product
worthy of exhibition, and all nat
ions of the world have been invited to
take part. Acceptances have been re-
ceived from many. The work of con-
struction is progressing earnestly. The
buildings will have an aggregate floor
space of 200 acres, and the grounds a
total area of 1000 acres. The money
now available aggregates $15,00O,O 900,
besides 81 900, 900 appropriated by the
state of Missouri, and various liberal
sums from other states. The classifica-
tion and the rules and regulations of the

grecizing his name after the manner
of the Humanists and the usage of the
times, became much impressed with
the exploits of Amerigo. He translat-
ed in the year 1907 French account
of Amerigo's travels into the Latin

editions and gained great circulation
and influence, spreading Amerigo's
fame and name far and wide.
Waldseemueller.
Waldseemueller also proposed the
name America, inscribing it upon
the map Of the world designed by him
in the same year.
The "New York Staatszeitung'' tells
in an interesting German correspond
ence how those two valuable charts
were recovered, after they had been
missing for centuries. I take the
liberty of quoting from said paper in
free translation:

Innsbruck University, who not long
ago instituted search for Waldsee-
mueller's great world-maps of 1907
and 1916, and succeeded to find VALID
seemueller's less important 'Carta
itineraria Europae,' 1911, announces
now that his co-scholar and former
student, Professor Joseph Fischer, has
unearthed the two missing charts
Fischer is interested in the voyages of
the Mortimer to the North American
coast. During his search for some old
maps Of Greenland he had the good
luck to find Waldseemueller's two
great charts in an old and dusty folio
belonging to the magnificent library
of Prince Waldburg at Wolfegg, in
Wuerttemberg
Charts of 1907 and 1916.
both maps are Autographs. The
one of 1907 is inscribed 'Universalis

traditionem ct Americi Vespucii alio-
rumque illustrationes. 1t bears art
istic vignettes of Ptolemaeus and
Amerigo Vespucci, and the word
America appears Immediately over
the Tropic of the Capricorn.
German savants, stimulated by the
Investigations and example of the
great Alexander Won Humboldt, have
recovered many old charts inscribed
with the name America, but Wald-
seemueller's map of 1907 is undoubted-
ly the first and Oldest printed chart
showing the new continent and con-
ferring upon it the name America. ,
Waldseemueller dropped this word in
his second world-map, the 'Carta

tuted mooted and much combated
question among the students of cosmog-
raphy and chartography. The cable
lately reported from Germany the un-
earthing of the long missed and much
hunted for world maps of Waldsee-

important discovery, the reader will
kindly permit small depression.

Well known is the Pre- Columbian
discovery of America" by the North
men. eric the Red" coming from
Iceland, set foot on the soil of Green
land in the tenth century, and later on
his son, "Leif the Lucky" visited the
coast of the North American continent,
starting from what we call Labrador
today, and going south as far as the
region between Boston and New York,
where the Northmen established set
tlement, called "Vinland.
Mortimer.
Stones, inscribed with runes, after
the fashion Of the old Germanic peo-
pies, are yet in existence, silent wit
nesses of ancient times, telling the
tale of misty past. The Northmen,
a semi -barbaric people, and living in
remote regions, had but little COM
munication with other folks, or none
at all thus it happened that neither
the more erudite and cultured nations
of southern Europe, nor geographical
science profited by the exploits of
those bold adventurers.
Columbus.
In Columbus we justly recognize
nowadays the true discoverer of the
new world, but fate denied to him the
honor of being it's sponsor. Not a
writer himself, he was unfortunate in
not finding a ready and capable mar
rator of his exploits. And as news
travelled slow in those days and truth
still slower, Columbus received but
small recognition among his contem-
poraries outside of Spain and Portugal.
Amerigo Vespucci.
There is no historic evidence that
Amerigo Vespucci, a learned Italian
merchant and cosmograph, who made
several voyages to the new world,
which afterwards bore his name,
aspired to this honor, but he was
lucky enough to possess numerous and
influential friends and admirers, who
advocated his cause, thus temporarily
obscuring the merits of Columbus and
the priority Of his claims. So it came
to pass that Martin Waldseemueller
