Walla Walla Saturday, allowing but
four hits. Errors figured in the defeat
of the Kids by score of to 6. The
game was closely contested, Athena
leading until the eighth. when two
Boosters" crossed the plate.
The features of the game were Will
lard's pitching and Lieuallen and
Pelland's fielding.

Sundays Game.
This is the game they are all talk
ing about in the garden city. 1t was
SO one-sided that the Boosters" pitch
ers have taken to the woods and the
other members of the team are sleep
ing on the boards. The Yellow Kids
fattened their hating averages with
22 hits; 10 off Rommell and IL off
Parks. Osburn was in the box for the
Kids aud allowed but scattered hits.
The only time the Boosters had d
look in was in the second inning when
two errors, hit and an overthrow at
second let in three men. The rest of
it was all yellow.
The Kids simply ate up everything
on the batting order and before the
| fireworks was over, Mr.. Bill Upton s
$5 sign on the fence was faded by
Krietz, and Pelland soused one over
the fence for homer. Every body
from Athena bit the ball whenever he
wanted to, except Osburn, and he did
MT have to. Krietz led the bunch
with four bingles, one hon er and
two bagger. johnson, Millard, Pei
land, Lieuallen and Davidson each got
three. aud there was nothing to it but
hitting the horsehide and the yellow
streaks fourishing around the sacks.
Before the matinee was closed Walla
Walla rooters were as silent as the
town clock and 19 Kids had left their
tracks on the home plate. The sum

realized in flash that he had made the mistake
of his life. Why had the he had just
spoken produced such electric effect? He could
not find it the map, nevertheless it rang in
his head if elusively familiar.

reluctantly to her. She read:

1ove-song The audience did not know what to
make of it at first, but when the famous tenor came
to the grand finale leaned forward, rolled his eyes
upward and shudderingly clinched his open palms
against his manly breast, his hearers to the
clusion that this a comic effort, and the final
wall of broken-hearted despair was lost in a cyclone
of laughter.
The tenor retired behind the scenes in a teeth
crashing rage, and swore fearful NeapOlitan Oaths
that he would not appear before such brigands
again, and neither did he, thus throwing the pro-
gram somewhat into confusion. The innocent
crowd, unconscious of what it had done, meanwhile
stamped and shouted for his temperance. They
had never seen anything just like this before and
they evidently wished him to come back and do it
again. Herr Schwartz himself too angry and
Madam SOmbra too much depressed, to any
humor in the situation, while the Italian ragged with
furious gestures like a mailman, and Fraulein
Vogel sat silent and frightened.
Madam Sombra appeared for the second time.

to dread the ordeal before her. She began the

expert secretary could write Madam SombraS sig

woman there are to-day scattered throughout the
land many cherished phs OF the great artste
which she herself has never seen.
Meanwhile Madam Sombra sat placidly in a rock
ing-chair on the veranda reading a little thinking
a great DEAL and above all resting. Herr schwartz
rgidly kept from her all the tempting offers OF the
rnionaires all the beseechmentS OF cities that had
been missed during the tour and he cursed himself
bitterly ever after that he brought in to her one
morning request so absurd that he thought It's
mere reading might amuse her When PoPulouS
cities had been given the go-by, when Mrs. Mlllon-
aires offer of twenty thousand dollars Tor single
afternoon had been refused, how could this hard-
headed business suppose that an entreaty
from a northern village he could not even ind on
the map would be listened to? So he came out on
the veranda with the letter in his hand laughing
laugh on the wrong side of his mouth twenty min
utes later
MADAM" he cried 1.-The cheek of this people
passes all comprehension! Here is a place no one
ever heard of, that has a church debt OF thousand
dollars, and actually expects you to go and play
there, that the congregation may be relieved OF It's
obligations. OF course get thousands OF begging
letters, but this written by clergyman, VINO
ought to know better
Madam Sombra looked up and smiled at him
rather wanly but without much interest She
said "a country clergyman doubtless looks upon
his church debt something important and onerous,
and it may seem to him slight thing that when L
have nothing to do l should go there and play
few pieces the piano. But please, Herr Schwartz,
write him kind and courteous letter in reply. Tell

The Republican machine both in this
