LOOSE FIELDING COSTS
SENATORS THE GAME
Boston Takes Last of the Series by
Score of 6 to 3.

For the second time this season the
Senators have faced Cy Young, and each
time he has proved an enigma to Lotus
hitters.
Yesterday, at Boston. by dint of poor
stick work and careless playing on the
part of the Washingtonians, the home
club beat them by score of to 8. Bos-
toms game was as proportionately
strong in the field as the visitors was
weak. In fact. their play bordered on
the sensational at several stages of the
game Ducky Holmes played second,
and while he did not cover himself with
glory he proved an improvement upon
its late incumbent. The Senator's hits
were scattered and came at inopportune
times, whereas Boston punched its hits,
and helped along by Washington's rag
ged fielding, piled up half dozen runs
and won in a hard canter.
Lee pitched for the visitors, and gave
eleven hits. which were ample to clinch
the game

Narrowly Missed Capture.

On one of these periIous expeditions
the fugitives reached Wilmington some
time before the boat sailed. The man
hunters and dogs came up, and it look
ed like a sure case OF ball and chain,
but a clever ruse conceived by Ortiz
threw them off the scent. With hollow
reeds in their mouths the fugitives
jumped overheard, and remained under
water two hours, breathing through the
reeds, until the baffled bloodhounds
withdrew. Townsend reed had a crack
in it, and he took in so much brine that
the captain of the boat applied the bilge
pump TO relieve the water-logged youth.
What some people will endure in order
to play ball surpasses all belief.

of Pittsburg, takes about twelve hours.

in faded shawl, and pressed to his

Ohio River, using the bridge for that
purpose. Ice was out of season, and Mr.

Whitman Handicapped for
Veteran DebaterS.
BROWN TEMPORARILY IN CHARGE
Held in Walla WaIla This Year
News Around the College.

Whitman is as badly Handicapped
for want of veterans in the debating
line this year as she is in football.
She will have three debates to win
again this year with the University
of Oregon, the University of Idaho
and the Washington Agricultural col
lege. OF the old men who have
fought her battles on the rostrum the
past two years there will be missed
this year Marquis, Chittenden, Ringer,
Campbell, Price, Cox and Guy Gallo
way. Of the eight men who handled
these three debates last year only
Brown. Palmer and Baldwin are back.
Brown is a host in himself, however.
For five years he has won victories
for the blue and the gold and is in
shape to go into two of the three con-
tests this year. He has never lost
a debate and is probably one of the
very best college debaters to be
found west of the Mississippi river.
Palmer who was in the contest
against the University Of Idaho three
years ago and again last year, is
ready and eloquent speaker. Bald
win was in the Pullman team last
wear and a member of the Idaho team
two years ago.
'Hez" Brown has been given tenn
porary charge of the arrangements
for the years debates by the execu-
tive committee and at meeting OF
the old men which he called last
night a provisional schedule of try
outs was arranged
It was decided that the try-out for
the Oregon team which will debate
with the University in Eugene on the
10th of January next, should be held
under the brief system about the LIST
of December. Any member of lit
erary society is allowed to compete
under the constitution of the Assoc
ciated Students. The three getting
the most points on the brief submit
ted and the ten minute speech made
from it will constitute the Oregon
team and will also probably handle
one of the Inland Empire contests.
The judges of this contest will be the
coaches of Whitman's teams who will
probably be Rev. Austin Rice, Pro
lessor Hendrick and Professor Ly-
man.
The Inland Empire debates will
both be held at Walla Walla this
year some time in the spring.
The team to handle the remaining
debate will be gotten from the speak
ers in the annual intersOciety debate
between the Athenaeum and Phrena-
BOSNIAN literary societies to take
place sometime near the first Of Feb
ruary.
Work in the literary societies is
very active and much Of splendid new
material is being developed. 1t is ex-
pected that Whitman will give her
usual good account Of herself on the
rostrum this year, Notwithstanding
The discouraging outlook at the first
Of the year
The oratorical contest this year
will take place in Moscow. F. Nelson
Cole of the senior class is Whitman's
representative. A large number of
the new. students are joining the lit
erary societies. The Athenaeum re-
ceived twelve applications for admis-
sion at their last meeting and the
Phrenakosmian, two. The Libeth-
rean and Philolithian societies have
also organized and elected officers for
the year.
