Frankenstein.
From the London Chronicle.

The old. old Frankenstein blunder has
been made again-this time by the Satur-
day Review, which wonders whether Great
Britain is not creating for herself some
thing in the nature of a FrankHnstein on
the Nile" Once more it has to be pointed
out that the Victor Frankenstein of Mrs
Shelleys novel was the man who made the
monster, not the monster itself complete
list of the perpetra tors of this error who
ought to have known better would be very
interesting. Lord Avebury has been pill
loried for it: Mr. Sidney Webb is guilty of
it in his Fabian essay: and even Mr. Glad
stone, writing of his Sicilian trip of 1898.

to the end of time, no doubt, his Franken-

HIGH SCHOOL BOYS
LOSE BY ONE RUN
Close and Interesting Game
Played With the Princeton
Freshmen-Score 4 to 3.


PRINCETON, N. j.. May 25.-The Wash
ington All-high School base ball team met
defeat at the hands of the freshmen here
this afternoon. losing out in the last inning
by ! to 3. Except for the errors which
kept coming to the front just when they
could have stayed away it was an inter-
esting exhibition. The teams were evenly
matched. Both had tip-top slabmen. and
the game early developed itself into a
pitchers duel between Michael and Wilson.
Michael pitched beautiful game, except
for his lack of control. He passed six bats
men, two of whom later counted. The
Western slabman more than atoned for his
wildness by letting the freshmen down
with one lone single and tanning five mis-
guided youths
ing four scattered hits. pass and caus-
ing nine of the Washington boys to make
large welts on the atmosphere.
Uncertain Until the End.
The weather was trifie chilly, but not
enough so to interfere with the playing
of the two teams. Neither side had the
victory safely slowed away until the end
of the game.
Goodman was the only man to get more
than one hit from Wilson. the Tech. CAP
tain poking out twOnice ones. Macdonald
was also In the limelight. both fer his
stick work and fielding. He poked out
the only clout that went for more than one
base and played about the best fielding
game on the team, gobbling up eleven
chances without slip.
Mr.. Wilson. principal of Central High
School, and Messrs. McLain and Metzerott
OF the Washington Princeton alumni body
went with the boys and saw to it that they
had good time. All went to the Prince
ton-Harvard game. and most of them were
well pleased with the result. They will
spend the night around among the different
upper class clubs and start back for Wash
ingtOn tomorrow noon.
How the Runs We're Made.
Both teams got men on bases in the
opener, but neither was able to count be-
cause of the work of the two twirlers. In
the fourth with one man down, Mcdonald
poked out a neat two-sacker and went to
third when Goodman singled. Here the
man allowing himself to get caught be-
tween second and third and when Potter
tried to get Macdonald, who had been
profiting by the play around Goodman to
wend his way homework, Dawson muffed
his throw and both Macdonald and Good
man came home before they could find the
ball. In the next round the freshmen
started in to do things, and before the
necessary three men had been down three
runs had been counted on a base on balls,
bingle and a brace of errors.
The capital city lads evened I'D in the
seventh Martin was given a life, stole
second. went to third on Richards bingle
and came home when Dawson muffed the
ball at the plate.
With the score tied up. the freshmen won
pass. a pilfered cushion and a tielder's
choice. The score:

LACK OF HITTING IN
THE MAJOR LEAGUES

club-that of Brooklyn-that hit in very
lively fashion last fall. has done very lit
tie In that line this year, and has averaged
put little over run per game. 1t is an
exceptional affair for "a cub to run into
double figures nowadays. OF course. no
one wants to see a superabundance of hit
ting, but there is a golden mean. and that is
what people who go TO ball games like
to see. Shut-outs ought to be the excep-
ton and not the usual thing as Is the case
nowadays.
Again. this meager scoring has been ac-
complished In a spring that has been re-
markedly cold and wet. Then what is to
happen when the clubs strip for the fray.
as II Were and the pitchers will he able to
let themselves out? The Boston Nationals
have been fairly crippled In the pitching de-
partment owing to the inability OF their men
to get into form. and the ST. Louis team
also has been very much In a crippled state.
There was almost riot in Baltimore
the other day because game was called
IN order TO allow the contrasting clubs 10
catch a train. No notice was given to the
spectators that such course would be
taken. There was no need for that sort
of thing. 1t is always possible to begin the
games early enough to allow fun game
to be played and enable the players to
make the necessary railway connection but
1t Is nothing short of AN outrage to begin
at the advertised time and then stop be-
fore nine innings have been played. No
game should be allowed to go on record at
which such action is taken.
1t will be most interesting to note how
the deal between New York and Cleveland

mind that Walters brother John was once

was after his sun had begun to set. Let
us hope that Walter will have better luck
than he had with the New York club.
With the western clubs of the American
League inaugurating their first eastern
campaign OF the season there will be n
good chance for the Washington and Bos-

No runs were scored by the losing teams
in five of the seven major league games
PLAYED Thursday. In the sixth game but
one run was made, and in the other only
two. Again II impress one most decidedly
that the game Is langushing as game for
lack of hitting. Well Is 1t remembered
what strong opposition was made by the
American League when the foul-strike rule
was urged. The retort always Is that the
attendance at the games never was as
good as 1t is at the present time. That
may be true, but there is great hue and
cry against the game owing to the paucity
of hitting. All the legislation has been in
the direction Of reducing the run-getting
to a minimum. In the last visit of the
western clubs of the National League to
the east Pittsburg won three games from
Brooklyn, and al We're shut-outs. Brook
lyn has been shut out eleven times this
season, and this In itself is enough to
show that there is not enough hitting in
the game and that something ought to be
done to remedy this defect. 1t will be re-
membered that there was no outcry in the
American League for the Introduction of
a rule to curtail batting. 1t all came from
the National League. Since the foul-strike
rule went into effect one of the National
League clubs - Pittsburg - BANKED oppo-
nents six times running. The game has
been getting slower and slower. and If 1t
keeps on will be slower than cricket.
Again. the mitts and gloves worn by the
players are altogether out of proportion
to the size that should be allowed. 1t is
a comparatively easy thing for any player
to knock down any kind Of drive now
adays. There ought to be a restriction to
the size Of hand covering that the player
should be allowed to use. Even the first
baseman has no need of the immense
pillow-like structure that he wears on his
hands
Recently Manager Fred Clarke raised a
howl about the use of g-guards by Catcher
Bresnahan of the New Yorks. not so much
against them as a protection as that he
can make it a difficult matter for baserun-
ners sliding to the rubber. At that there
is certainly as much. If not more. call for
the use of shin pads as Of mitts OF out
rageous size-pockets they should be called.
1t often happens that a regular tattoo II
beaten on the shins of catcher by the
fouls, and the wise player will employ all
the protection he can possibly secure. Al
most every umpire In a major league finds
| it necessary to use pads, and those who DC
not are sure to find 1t a most painful mat
ter to 60 without.
