New Orleans August 14-(Special)- Farmer Vaughan and his Coal Barons managed to take the last game of the series this afternoon by score of to 5. Errors on the part of locals practical ly presented the game to the visitors.
 Atzs error in the seventh inning of Reagan's grounder, allowed the Barons to start a volley from which four runs re- suited. The visitors started off well in the first inning getting two clean singles off Reisling. Vaughans sacrifice advanc- ing both runners when Smith grounded an easy one to Holly, who threw per- fectly to the plate. Fox dropping the ball while Duffy scored. The ball got away from Fox and rolled to the stand. Lynch kept on to the plate. Fox throwing to Reisling who also dropped the ball. Lynch scored.
 They could do nothing with Reisling un- til the seventh when Tamsett sent a single down the third base line. O'Brien followed by striking out. Reagan, the new pitcher, hit an easy on to Atz, who fumbled and threw wild to Sullivan. Duffy followed with a hot one to Rohe, the ball getting away, Tamsett scoring. Lynch accepted charity Vaughan followed with a corking single to center scoring Reagan and Duffy, Vaughan scoring on two steals
 Durham Hit Hard.
 Dunham opened for the visitors but only lasted one inning, when he was suc- ceeded by-Reagan. While Durham oc- cupied the box the locals scored run on Rickerts single. stolen base and Atz' s two bagger
 Reagan was touched up lively for his eight innings, the Pelicans getting eleven hits. They scored in the third on Rohe's single, two bases on balls and Vaughan's s failure to hold a thrown ball to complete a double play by Matthews Two singles by Reisling and Rohe gave them another in the fourth. Atz's singe in the seventh his stolen base and Smiths error yielded another. Reisling's two sacker to left cen ter and Rohes single gave one in the eighth. In the ninth with two down, Genins singled to center, Holly followed with q duplicate to right. Genins going to third, Holly stealing second on the first ball pitched. 1t looked as If the Pelicans would win as WhitrIdge was sent up to bat for Sullivan, but Matthews was equal to the occasion and instructed Reagan to walk him Fox then grounded to Lynch, forcing Whitridge out at second and the game was over
 As usual with Woods umpiring, the game was n continuous wrangle lasting over two and half hours. Both pitchers were given terrible deal by this incom- petent official and 1t is lucky indeed that the Barons won.
 Brown, one of the Pelican pitchers was released this afternoon to Shreveport He left for that town tonight

greatest Tartar of them all, the won
derful Tamerlane.
Tamerlane burst on the Golden
Horde in 1881. 1t had broken into two
factions and had erected two great
Khanates. At this moment the Russ
attacked the divided hordes from the
west and Tamerlane cut into them
from the east.
Beset by their own Tartar kinsmen,
the last of the Tartar conquerors now
made desperate stands for existence.
But by 1880 the Moscovite Cars had
succeeded in reducing the last of the
Golden Horde on one hand, and then
the Russ swept into the Khanate of
Kasan and made it tributary.
From that time dates the might of
the Gar of to-day. Republics and
kingdoms and duchies hastened to
show allegiance. Novgorod fell as a
Republic, and the vast land of Russia,
peopled by its thousand tribes, became
a gross, crushed, helpless land of the
autocrat-welded into nation, not by
the logical, orderly process of time
and environment acting on alien
races, but by fire and sword.
Siberia which, as the small map
shows, is greater in area than Euro
pean Russia, was so added, too. In
1880, Vassil1i Timofewitsch, now
known as Jermak, crossed the Ural
with Cossack hordes and made the land
| tributary. JULIUS MULLER.

than century and half ago. The
last man who understood it died in
177o.
In the meantime, the Swedes had
conquered the Finnish tribes and taken
all the north of Russia; and the Swed-
ish Marshal Jorkel Knudsen built the
city of Landscrona on the present site
of St. Petersburg.
In 1910 the Cumani huddled to-
gether and began to move to the west.
For through the Ura1s came now
the first of the great Tartars from
the far east-the vanguard of Denghis
Khan, who, in eleven years, had car
ried his arms from Mongolistan over
Tibet and Persia to Europe.
Then began the wonderful empire
of the Mongo1 Khanate of the Golden
Horde of Kiptchak 1t extended from
the Siberian Lakes to the Caspian, and
from the Vistula River in Poland to
the Ural Mountains.
Alone of all Russian governments,
stood the Republic of Novgorod
1t was a member of the mighty
Hanseatic League of Cities, and was
truly the New York or London of the
Middle Ages. "Who can resist God
and the great Novgorod?" was the
Russ proverb.
And it was Novgorod's might that
was to free the Russians from the
Golden Horde in the end; Novgorod,
aided strangely by another, and the
