By keeping everlastingly at it the George
town boys at last managed to win game
from the Senators yesterday. and the
members of this years college aggregation
can point with pride to this seasons record,
as it is as good as that of the two years
previous. When the American League be-
gan business in this city under Manager
Manning the blue and gray walloped the
Senators well. Last year the Georgetown
team was unusually strong and Won two
games from the Loftusites. This season
it was thought that the collegians would
have to go without victory. but they
finally opened the right combination and
won by the score of to 4.
Too much praise cannot be given the
Georgetown team for the way it worked
yesterday The professionals got after the
boys the coaching lines, and all the
tricks of the trade We're brought into use
to send Pitcher Seitz up in the air. Once
or twice the stout-hearted southpaw gave
indications of leaving the earth. but beau
tiful plays by the boys back of him
brought his feet once more to terra tirma,
and result the Senators We're con-
frCnted with proposition TOO hard TO

From Washington point of view little
can be said. Townsend pitched poorly and
stupid ball was played back of him by
his comrades. both in the field and on the
bases. A half dozen cases could be cited
where the Senators threw away runs by
simply playing individual ball. but the de-
feat will do them good, and it places the
collegianS in high feather.

The Failure Of Realism.

To me his literary history is very
pathetic. He was bred if not born in
the worship of the romantic, but his
native faith was not proof against his
reason, as again his reason was not
proof against his native faith He
preached crusade against roman
ticism, and fought long fight with
it. only to realize at last that he was
himself too romanticistic to succeed
against it, and heroically to own his
defeat. The hosts of romanticism
sWarmed back over him and his fol.
lowers, and prevailed, as we see them
still prevailing 1t was the error OF
the realists whom Zola led, to sup
pose that people like truth in fiction
better than falsehood they do not;
they like fa1sehood best; and if Zola
had not been at heart romanticist
he would never have cherished his
long delusion, he never could have
deceived with his vain hopes those
whom he persuaded to be realistic.

The latest form of amusement among
the Sunday-school girls of Axtell is
rat killing" parties, says the Kansas
City Journal. The first one was pull
ed off at the home of Allen Farmer a
few nights ago and was attended by
the Presbyterian Sunday-school, con-
sisting mostly of girls. The Anchor
tells of the bravery displayed by the
young ladies. The girls reached there
shortly after shutdown, and, armed with
sticks and clubs, proceeded to the old
stable, where rats were in abundance.
For some time silence prevailed, broken
at intervals by false alarm, when
one would see a furry of clubs. Final
ly rat was stirred out-a monstrous
big fellow. Every club struck the
ground, and in some way amid the
shrieks and blows the rat succumbed.
We think it was scared to death, for
surely never was he attacked by such
a band before. Again and again this
act was repeated; each time the girls
grew Drawer. The climax was reached
when at least dozen big fellows jump
ed out at once and made right for the
crowd of girls. Do you think they
screamed and fled? Not one bit of it.
No wonder American soldiers know not
what it is to be defeated in battle If
their mothers are made of the same
mettle those girls are made Of They
fought, and never thought of flight The
stateliest rat making for the prettiest
girl elected nothing more than a heavy
blow that laid him low. After the
rats were killed the party proceeded to
the lawn, where ice cream and cake
were served.
