chief Kaulbars will go out with the

Llnevltch has been ordered by tele-

This decision is doubtless due In
part to the growing unwieldlness Of

mand. and which will be largely In
creased by constant reinforcements,
Kuropatkin heretofore has handled
every detail OF the vast organization,
The work Is too much for one man and
he is now almost broken down under
the strain. II is known the emperor
personally is one of Kuropatkin's
strong supporters and It is thought
the general will In all probability re-
tain the chief command of the two
armies. Kuropatkin. however. has
been seriously criticized by some of
the emperor's close military advisers
and II is possible he may eventually be
superseded.

May II will be selected by President Ban
Johnson from his staff, but his name will
not be sent in advance and he will not be
known until he arrives there the day Of the
game. This will be the deciding game of the
SERIES each club having won one.
The folly of investing in guesses as to the
probable order in which clubs will finish in
penn1nt race is shown by the following
calculation: The number Of clubs, of course,
is eight. The possible relative positions they
can occupy is not less than 4O, 800, and to
show these different positions on manuscript
would require, even II written very closely,
no less tt an 1926 square feet OF paper. These

improbable, but y little calculation by any
one interested in such things will prove
their accuracy.-New York Herald.

HIGH SCHOOL GAME.
Centrals Gave Business Lads a Sound
Trouncing.

without really trying, the Central High
School base ball team won from the Bust
ness team on the Georgetown University
field yesterday afternoon by the score of
Is to 3. In many instances the Business
boys seemed to be trying to discover how
far they could throw the ball, regardless of
whether 1t was caught by any one or not.
The result was that the spectators had
lots of fun watching Business boys run
ming about the field and Central boys run
ming home. Kiser of Business performed
creditably in the box and led some to be-
lieve that only half of the fifteen runs
would have been made IL he had been given
better support. He was outpitched by Nc
Cathran of Central. however, the latter
punching out eleven men to his two.
Central played good game from the
start, making errors until after the
fective behind the bat, and did not fail to
show his worth when he got good chance.
The evenness of merit which was notice
able in the Central-Eastern game and stood
Central in such good stead was partly re-
sponsible for the victory yesterday.
As the high school championship series
progresses it appears to be more and more
probable that the last game, that between
Central and Technical, will contain the eli
max of the seasons interest, as both teams
seem to be demonstrating their superiority
over the others in the league The score.

STAR CUP GOLF MATCH.
Chevy Chase and Columbia Teams
Contesting This Afternoon.

This afternoon the Chevy Chase and Co.
lumbia golf teams are playing the second
team match of the season for The Evening
Star cup. on the course of the former Both
the Chevy Chase and Columbia clubs have
selected the strongest teams possible, and
a contest of unusual brilliancy and interest
will probably result. Capt. McCammon of
Chevy Chase said that the loss of Mr.. Oden
Horstmann created quite a hole In his
team, but that he thought he had splen-
did golfer to take his place.
The Chevy Chase captain protested
against the playing of Mr.. A. E. Lard a
nonresident member of the Columbia Golf
Club, in the match. and up to noon it had
not been decided whether he would take
part in the contest or not Mr. Lard has
been playing brilliant golf in the south all
winter, and his presence on the Columbia
team no doubt %ives 1t considerable addi-
tional strength
The Chevy Chase course is in splendid
condition for the match, and it would not
be surprising If several members of both
teams did not 20 over it in boyle figures or

that an operation was the only hope of
saving her life, and she was removed to the
hospital for the operation. 1t was per-
formed, but proved unsuccessful, and Mrs.
Hecht failed to rally. She died about 8
o'clock in the afternoon.
When Mrs Knauer was notified that the
operation had failed and Mrs. Hecht was
dead, the shock was great that she was
unable to comprehend the full import of the
news and insisted that there must be some
mistake. She hurried to the hospital and
asked to be taken to the room where Mrs.
Hecht's body lay, and this was done. When
the face of the dead was uncovered and
Mrs. Knauer saw the truth she fell as If
stricken by bullet, and when the surgeon
who had accompanied her went to her aid
he found the woman already dead.
