)NsIDERING that the school year is some
thing of race with vacation for the goal,
it seems worth while to suggest that Juniors
pull themselves together for finale sus-
tanned effort which shall complete the year
with good work. Buckling down to tasks
after vacation is like going to school on
blue Monday, only more so. But vacation
is already many days behind and almost
forgotten, and the Juniors have not brought
back to their Junior work the freshness and
sparkle the editor expects after rest. There
ought to be new life in everything these

BALDWIN GIVEN DECISION
in Main Attraction at Baseball 5enefi.
at City Hall.

The athletic exhibition, arranged as
baseball benefit, which was announced
some days ago, was held Friday even
ing, in City hall, under the auspices of
the Augusta Social and Athletic Asso-
cation. Although not as largely attend
ed as the previous exhibitions which
have been held, there was an enthu-
siastic audience of lovers of sport, and
the various numbers of the program
were fully appreciated.
a. r. Addison Of IIallowell. acted as
referee of the different bouts. and his
handling Of the men met with the APP
prevail of all. No wrestling match
could be arranged for the evening. so
that the only Introductory attractions
were two four-rourd boxing matches.
The first of these, between Jimmie
Miller of I,ati1. and Percy Hill of Gar
diner. failed TO interest the audience,
as the participants were evidently only
playing with each other. The second,
between Thomas Larrahee of Bath,
and Jack Doyle Of Portland. was 4
clever exhibition, both boys showing
good form and cool head work, though
Doyle was the favorite.
The main attraction of the evening
was, as announced, a glove contest be-
tween Tommy Feltz of Brooklyn, and
Matte Baldwin of Charlestown. These
men are both lightweights, but 1t was
evident that Baldwin had the advant-
age of from five to 10 pounds more
weight than his opponent. From the
start Baldwin assumed the aggressive.
and succeeded iii landing his blows
very freely. On the other hand, Feltz
kept steadily at work. and though he
failed to make his blows count, he
seemed to feel no effect from the fire.
qucnt raps he received. Iii the ninth
and 18th rounds the lighter man got
in some good ones. but in the 18th he
seemed to be playing a losing game.
The decision came, in the 18th. when
Feitz slipped off the stage and
wrenched his leg under the ropes. Fall
ing to take his place i'll time. the ref
cree announced that Baldwin was the
winner Of the match.
The exhibition was Il clean one in ev-
cry way, the crowd preserving perfect
order throughout, and the final deci-
sion was received with Il general salts
faction as being justly rendered.

EoJEsrvENskvs TROUBLES.
Faced Japs and Mutiny. in Poorly Built
and Armed Ships.

PARIS. July 21.-According to the st.
Petersburg correspondent Of La Lib
erte, Admiral Rojestvensky. In his re-
port on the battle of Tsu Shima Straits.
which resulted in the practical annihi-
hilation Of his fleet. says that his ships
were bad. They had been not only
hastily but dishonesty built.
The thickness of their armor did not
agree with the official figures in the
case Of any Of the vessels. Moreover. 1t
was Of inferior quality. The shells were
bad. Two-thirds of them did not ex-
plode. None of the ships were able to
carry the necessary coal. None of them
attained the guaranteed speed. The en-
k,nes and boilers we're poor and always
requiring repairs.
Two. thirds of the crews. including
those OF Vice Admiral Niebogatoff's
squadron, were incapable. The gun
ners were ignorant Of the elementary
laws Of firing. A munity occurred while
that fleet was at Madagascar and II
men were put to death.
Admiral Rojestvensky had to train
guns on two of his ships. the Admiral
Seniaviu and Admiral Apraxine. coast
defense vessels, to restore order. The
crews had decided secretely to surren-
der to the enemy. This was discovered
tSo late There was another mutiny in
Vice Admiral Niebogatoff's squadron
near Formosa. and Admiral Rojest-
vensky had difficulty in preventing the
mutineers from seizing the greater part
OF the squadron.
Admiral Rojestvensky saw from the

were not fighting and were ignoring or
ders. They fired only when he sent tor
pedo boats to them and threatened to
sink them unless they obened.
II Admiral Rojestvensky had not
been wounded at the beginning of the
battle the result might have been diff
ferent. Almost simultaneously with his
removal to a torpedo boat Admiral En-
quist disappeared. Admiral Foelker-
sahm was killed and Admiral Niebo-
gator. who was unpopular with the
sailors. was obliged to take command.
Then the rout began. Admiral Niebo-
gatoff's orders were ignored. 1t was
every one for himself. The crews OF
some OF the ships threatened to kill
their officers unless they surrendered.
Admiral Rojestvensky confirms what
Is generally known of the shattering
and scattering Of his fleet. He describes
the attempt to blow up the Orel after
she had surrendered. He says that a
party Of engineers and young officers
were surprised by the japanese just as
they were about TO fire the ships mag
azine. A struggle followed. If the Orel's
crew had supported their officers the
conspiracy would have succeeded, but
none Of the men stirred.
The admiral confirms the reports al
ready published that he relied on the
fog to enable him to get through the
straits, but says 1t lifted two hours too
soon.
