CHICAGO. III. July 15.-There might be
harder luck than Townsend had today but
II would be difficult to find 1t. He pitched
the finest kind Of ball, he held the White
sox helpless in front of his assortment of
shoots. and then, thrown down by couple
of hilarious pop-eyed errors, he saw his
game pass away like beautiful dream.
Tough luck, It was worse than horrible
Barring the fatal errors, the game was
fun of brilliancy and the way the men
worked back of Smith and Townsend was
electrical With perfect play II would have
been an to o affair, while only the hobbies
committed in the seventh kept Washington
from winning. / to o.
Up to the seventh round there was Just
one run and Washington had that lonesome
tally Anderson. leading off in the second
spasm, swatted a ringing bngle. Huels-
man drew four balls. Stahl hunted and
Smith fumbcd; bases fun, none out. cas-
sidy's fly 20 left admitted Anderson but the
contribution of Hcydon and Townsend was
a strike out each, and a grand chance was
wasted.
From that time on the teams fought
grlmly. and there Were many mighty doings
In the fielding line, Hickman gaining the
most applause when he stopped drive. fell
over and got the ball 10 Cassidy ahead of
a runner while rolling on the ground.
Twice Chicago runners were caught off
second by wonderful throws, one by Town
send and one by Heydon. Once Smith was
knocked out by a pitched ball. but he did
not get his base The ball hit his bat so
hard it drove the stick against him and
knocked him fiat and dizzy. The ball
bounded to Townsend and Sheridan decided
II perfectly fair.
In the sixth Charlie Jones started with a
hit and stole both second and third, but
nobody could bring him home Then. in the
seventh came the crash. Donahue hit one
across the diamond and Hickman juggled.
Green let four wide ones go by. A moment
later Townsend wlgSled his knee, Sheridan
said 'balk" and the case became a des
perate one Mcfarland raised a short fly
to center.
Jones dashed In. eager to make a double
play at the plate. In fact, he was 50 Wild
~ eager that he swung up his arm to
throw the ball before he had It. The ball,
Donahue. \ fly to left let in Green little
later and thus poor Townsend was taxed
for two wholly undeserved runs without
even the formality Of a hit.
In the eighth the visitors egged on by
the crowd. which had taken fancy to the
under dog and was trying to make Town
send win. started in to transact business.
Heydcn was given pass and Townsend
laid down a neat sacrifice. Smith lost sight
of the plate and Jones was passed. With
two on bases and only one out. ii was up
10 Hunter Hill. lie drove one sizzling down
to Tannehill and that wonderful third base
man calmly accepted the ball, sprang back
to third, hoofed the bag and SHE'D the
leather to first. completing fancy double
play.
That was the death-blow Washlngton's
half OF the ninth consisted of two flies to
Jones and a grounder to Tannehill. Stahl
and his unhappy band received round of
cheers from the crowd, but that did not
help the percentage column any. The
score.

er it is said there are 20,OOO,OO0 acres
of American land owned by foreign
landlords.
1t has always been the boast of
America that 1t was land of small
proprietors, but things are changing.
After the French revolution the land
went into the hands of the people, but
the small holding of the peasant farm
ers under the first and second empires
have passed to a great extent into the
hands of capitalists, and feudalism
practically exists there as it did before
1889. 1t has been shown recently by
IL student of French society that the
great mass of the peasantry Of the
country are tenants or hired laborers.
Although they live in the most print
tive homes and exercise the greatest
economy, they are practically chained
to a condition of serfdom and are tied
to the land as much as their ancestors
were.
In this country we have cheap land
and high Industrial wages. The people
abandon the land for the attraction of
Industrial centers. This is to be re-
GREETED if it results in turning the land
over to absentee landlords, who have no
interest in the welfare of the country
beyond squeezing out revenue. as was
the case before our own revolution.
