tossers. We played eight games In all. and
won only two of them. With the Aleu-
bans of Havana, the champion team of
Cuba. we broke even, each winning game.
But the Feys. the second best team. beat
US five games out of six.
ABEL Linares. manager OF the Aleu-
bans, and well known In the United States.
wanted to secure Christy Mathewson as q
star attraction and wired for his terms.
Matty asked SEQ a week and all expenses
paid but barred pitching on Sunday. SUM-
day games in Havana between good teams
draw 10,e00 to 1900 spectators and the
clubs depend on them to make any money.
For that reason Linares dropped the nego-
tiations with Matty. The Cubans can't un-
derstand the Sunday question from that
point of view. 1t is their day for enjoyment,
and the laws Of the Sabbath are unknown
and incomprehensible to them.
There Is big money in Cuba for a good
nine-one that can beat the Cuban teams.
The natives will turn out to see their cham
pions beaten. but not to see them play
teams that do not class with them"
The Cuban Ex-Giants also returned on the
Yueatan. With Them came Clarence VIII
lfams. the famous coacher and the only
rival Of Orator Jim O'Rorke In continuous
service on the diamond.

critical periods during the late civil war

1t is, very apparent that the prejudice of
the press and people against the Russian

Then, again, the Japs are lauded for
their said o-be successes. But what has
been the cost? It is believed to be true
that for the life Of every Russian, the lives
Of ten Japs have been sacrificed. and 1t is
also believed that the position of Japan

upon millions Of dollars, has caused sui
cides, and has caused honest men to turn
criminals, the baseness of Lawson does
not mitigate the fact that such a system
ought not to be allowed to exist.
The American people ought to be, and
I believe are, concerned simply about the
truth of Mr.. Lawson's charges and not
about his character, or his motives If
MIR. Lawson's charges are not true, if the
heads Of "the System are not set of
thieves; If Henry H. Rogers is not a per-
jurer before the law, as Mr.. Lawson
charges him, then surely these men can
seek redress in court Of law. If Mr.
Lawson's charges are not true, certainly
he can even be thrown into jail. But do
we Nhear Of "tfe System trying to dis.
prove these charges in the courts of law
AS long as "the System" refuses to meet
these charges by means Of the law. all its
attacks upon Lawson are an insult to the

TO tho Editor Of Tho Journal
If w. E. Hewitt had suggested anything
that would be practicable and adequate
punishment for wife -beaters, his TRADE
against the house committee, barking
back to medieval times, might have some
weight. His reference to wornan's lapse
from virtue is no comparison as q heinous
offense, as in lapse in nine cases out of
ten, man is the greater sinner. Shall we
abrogate the commandments because of
their antiquity? What crime deserves
more severe chastisementr than that OF
gaining woman's confidence and. by
promises Of love and fidelity induces her
to become wife, and cruelty beats her?

and particularly to the late peace talk.
At the outset, then, have no hesitation
in saying that all this press news Of the
Russians planning and plotting to get out
Of this war, has been none other than a
lot of fabricated stuff, devoid Of all truth,
and submit one is justified. in thinking
that the press has made itself somewhat
ridiculous It cannot be denied with truth
but that the American press, from the be-
ginning Of the trouble, has Shown a very
strong bias in favor OF the Jap, and it is
this that has undoubtedly led to much

that the Russians are sick of the war
and are dying for peace.

depend upon it that the Russian has no
