MORE TROUBLE FOR

Cincinnati, JAM 4.--Baseban managers who
had figured on playing their Sunday games in
KENTUCKY in the event Sunday ball playing was
abolished by the Ohio legislature, which seems
not improbable are given jolt by information
that Sunday baseball bill has been introduced
in the Kentucky legislature.
OF the many amusements which would come
under the Sunday ban, it was thought baseball
had the least to fear, because managers planned
to play just across the river in Kentucky. The
Kentucky bill provides for the prohibition Of
both baseball and football. 49, ..-sr 7--z

ST. JUSTnS Manuscript.
From The Pail Mall Gazette.


curious literary fragment has been un-
earthed by NJ. Charles Vellay, in the shape OF a
history of Enguerrand de Coucy, by the TeVolu-
zionist St Just There seems to be no doubt
possible about its authenticity, as St just, De
fore he became one of the dreaded trlulVirale
of the Terror gave the MS. to his sister, after
ward Mime. Decaisne, who left it 10 her grand
SON. from whose HANDS il found its way to the
public auction at which its present PosseSsor
bought il in 1864. 1t recites the history or me
Sibylle wife Of Codefroy. Comte de Ndmui,
from whom the Sire de Coucy took her in a
manner which reminds irresisubly Of some
of the stories in Balzacs "Contes Drolatiques.
Unfortunately Godefroy did not take quietly the
benefit conferred upon him-for Sihylle was, ac-
cording to all accounts. one of the worst women
of her tiule-and, in the petty war which fol
lowed the lady's domain AT Chat -au-Portleh
was ravaged from end TO end
But this was nothing compared with the
hostilities which the Sire de Coucy waSed nearly
all his life with his eldest son. Thomas de Marie,
a returned Crusader, who had distinguished
himself under Hugh of VermandoiS, and whom
Sibylle hated with more than stepmotheI )
hatred. Hence followed aSsaSslnationS, lnciud-
ing that of at least one bishop; the sleSeS OF
the towns Of Laon and Amiens, troasons, strata
gems and spoIs without number. And through
al this De Coucy and Sibylle were haunted by
the fear not of any human justice, but or the
launching of that dreaded sentence OF excom-
muncation which had already compelled I'M

SO Gladys, believing that she has discovered
his unworthiness in time eventually, and largely
for the sake Of her family, becomes the wife of
the handsome amiable but despicably weak
Arthur. The rest of the book is taken up with
the inevitable subjective and objective conflicts
and the final adjustment of relations between
the three Granting the authors premises. the
working out of the problem is ably handled, her
literary methods of an unusually high order,
and the story is logical Unfortunately there is
fatal flaw in her construction, which would
scarcely have been possible if the volume had
been written by a man, and it brings the whole
edifico toppling down into the realm of un-
reality. Every values his personal honor
too highly to permit himself quiXotlcally TO
bear the unmerited reproaoh OF being caro-
sharper, especially to shield another VINO is
scarcely even a friend. Richard Copeland, as
he is drawn in the story, would never have al
lowed himself to be the scapegoat for Arthur
Davenport and it is scarcely possible that Dav-
enIort igncble as he is portrayed in other re-
spects would have allowed il either.
No such dark problems disturb the serenity
of Mr.. Paines pleasant story of the Adiron-
dacks The Lucky Piece" 1t is a quiet love
tale with a plot of almost elemental simplicity,
and the complications which at one time
threaten to impede the course of true love are
founded on an eXpedient 50 familiar in fiction
that the probable solution of the mystery occurs
to the reader almost as soon it is propounded
The novel gains its unquestioned interest from
the naturalness and whoesOmeness of the char
acters themselves, from the sympathetic inter
pretaticn of nature in her half tanned aspects,
from th,, breath of the woods and the inVigordt-
ing quality of the mountain life in which the
most of the tale is set.
A very different phase of social life IL seen in
a similar Adirondack setting in Mr.. McCutch-

the fastest team in the state. They use
a style Of play altogether different from
that Of any other team in the state.
Of all the Kansas teams which have
played against Kansas university so far
this season Quigley's bunch has made
the best showing. His light bunch held
the Jayhawkers to a score of ID to O.
The Catholics succeeded in getting the
ball in play thirteen times before the
Kansas team a lined up. Quigley
has a great advantage in playing
against Washhurn. He has refereed
nearly all the games in Topeka this
year and is very familiar with Wash
burns plays. A good deal Of interest
is connected with this game on account
of the popularity of Coach Quigley in
Topeka where his work as an official
has always met with popular approval.

Here it is for what it is worth: Il
think that Kansas will walloD Wash
burn Saturday." he said. THE To-
peka team has no love for US though,
and they will play their hardest to
beat US. The trouble with Washburn
is that you can't dope them this year.
They played a 0 to 0 game with Colo
RADIO and then lost TO Paramount col
lege. I think they are laying for US.
We know that they would lose every
other game on their schedule If by 50
doing they could beat Kansas. There
will be a big crowd of students go to
Topeka from Lawrence for the game.
The Kansas team is in good condition.
The men are showing good team
work in practice. The st. Louis game
taught them many things and the de-
feat has made the men keep from get
ting overconhdent as TO their
strength. Last year Kansas almost
lost the Washburn game because OF
overconfdence."
