Students Even Up Matters With Fac
uIty by Winning at Base
ball-18-15.

The Normal boys settled scores
with the faculty on Reynolds field
yesterday afternoon in a manner high
ly pleasing to themselves and not en-
tirely heart-breaking to their oppo-
nents. The faculty has been respon-
sible for much strenuous labor done
by the boys during the winter, but
yesterday the pupils made the teach
ers work to beat the band. The boys
won the long talked of baseball match,
but they had a margin Of only three
runs. the game ending with the score
18 to Is. The figures don't belle them
selves when they assert that the game
wasn't the finest exhibition of the ma
tional sport that has been seen on
Reynolds field. But there was plenty
Of fun, and the stern %preceptors en-
joyed it just as well as the irrepress-
| ible students. The crowd was con-
| siderable, and highly enthusiastic.
| Considering the fact that the profess
| sors had been divorced from baseball
for MAN, years, they made a good
| showing. They had the great advan-
tage of Charlie Rhodes on the slab.
Haywood donned the big mitt.
Rhodes, while not UP to his stand.
ard, was fairly effective. He made a
dandy three-bagger in the ninth, which
he easily converted into a home run
Walcott did star work throughout.
and Owens surprised himself as much
as he did his friends. Captain VOL
colt called Prof. Butscher to the bench
early in the game for sogering and
substituted a lightweight.
The Normal boys have some goot
material, but there is considerable
room for improvement. 6. Jones dis
tinguished himself by making a nome
run. There were several pretty indi
vidual plays, but the team work i
ragged. However, the game was tn
first Of tho season. The Normals ma.
be depended upon to do good work be
fore the school closes. The professors
are not satisfied with the result Q
the game and will challenge for an
other. ga

Washington, Feb 17.-There was no
debate on the statehood bill in the
senate yesterday. The Indian appro-
priation bill and the Philippine cur
rency bill both were passed. Mr.. Vest,
while the Indian bill was up, called at
tention to point of order which had
been taken against one of it's provis-
ions on the ground that it was new
legislation. The senate, he said, had
passed the government bill as rider
to the army appropriation bill and yet
ruled other provisions out. All rules
he said were violated when a majority
was in favor of any measure.
In the House.
The house disposed of a number of
bills yesterday under suspension Of
the rules, defeating two. The most i'm
portant measure passed was the SEN
ate bill to amend the railroad safety

when examined the body in the
coffin" said the physician, II found it
to be that of a much older man than
the man had examined as Trombor-
ula on the day of the issuance of the
policy. The
Examination Of the Body
revealed the fact that there were nit
tens on the hands. When they were
taken off saw that the glove had
been stuffed with cotton and that the
right forearm was missing. The right
foot was also missing. The shoe hav-
ing been stuffed with a block of wood
shaped like foot. The lips had been
sown together so as to conceal the alb
sence of teeth. The mouth was stuffed
with cotton, causing the cheeks to
puff out and give the body the ap-
pearance Of being that of much
younger man."
