A VERY BUM" GAME.
notchkiss Defeats Delta Team
SO to 10.

The rankest game Ut ball ever played
10 Delta was played last Sunday when
the Hotchkiss team went up against a
bunch OF unknowns who were supposed
TO represent this lity. When the game
was called there we're come two or three
lined up with the Delta team that could
be recognized. The rest were "un-
knowns- and since the game no one
wants TO know them.
1t is oothing but the rankest kind OF
imposition on the part Of the manage
ment to lead such a bunch OF skates on
the diamond and attempt to play a
match game Of baseball ia Delta.
There were just two or three in the
lineup that could play anything like
ball and they should have had better
sense than to have played with that
bunch OF Stars that claimed to have
played in all kinds OF leagues.
Although there was good. long flies
falling in the out-feld by the dozen there
was just one caught-tbat was an acci.
Oe0L. luc Iuuciu ~eo W. osNSs'
The pitcher and catcher played the game
entirely alone for the first four innings
and then Ernest Logao took the boz.
the score standing 10 to II in favor OF
Hoschkiss. Up to this time the tielders
had not had much opportunity to spread
tbemseIves-but had failed to take
advantage OF . single opportunity.
Eighteen men scored on Logan in the
single innieR and the Hotchkiss boys
say they could have made more il it had
not been for the looks Of things
Until some one gets. hold Of the team
that will exclude these ex natioual and
other league players OF the "Home-run
Haggerty" stripe that think they are
iii" they will not pisy ball.
Every body that saw the game was
disgusted and have their plenty now.

News coming from Chinese sources
claim that the Russians defeated the
Japanese. who made an assault on Port
Arthur on June 9th. The japanese
were only driven back sttes the most
severe and determined lighting and with
tremendous loss.
From the same sources it is eaid that
the Vladivoetok fleet formed junction
with the Russian Port Arthur fleet and
sunk four of the Japanese most po1er-
ful war vessels. The battle was tough I
of Port Arthur on the same day that
the land assault was made on that place.

ton that Emperor Nicholas only TO
comfy announced in the most positive
forms that no would not permit peace
negotiations even should Port Arthur
Fall and General Kuropatkln DO driven

This fact, well understood in ON.

government from taking any steps in
the direction OF mediation. II ls known
in London that Germany understood
this attitude OF the Emperor as we'll

Therefore the reports from Paris that
Emperor William Is prepared to sug.
